Technical Information Security Content & Discussion

Today, I was asked to externally pen test my interning company’s internal network. I conducted a few Nmap scans and brute forcing a vulnerability, but every time I tried anything, their Malwarebytes firewall blocked my Kali VM’s IP. Now, I’m trying to learn more about the firewall, how it works, and its vulnerabilities/exploits, but I can’t find any information online. Do any of you have any resources I could look at or any insight on them? Any help would be much appreciated!!

For context, I’m a cybersecurity student in my junior year, and I’m interning this summer at a small local tech company. I have full permission to conduct pen testing, and openly present all of my findings.
