Penetration Testing is also known as pen testing. Penetration Testing is a process of testing Web aplication, Computer System or Networks to find vunerability that an attacker (Hacker) can attack on. Pentesters are also called White Hat. The vulnerability may exist in Operating System(OS), Websites , Networks(Internal, External or Wireless), Improper Configuration. To find Vulnerability is known as Penetration Testing.
Pentest can be perform manually and with automated softwares applications to find vunerability in web application, web server, wireless devices, network devices, mobile devices.
Manual penetration testing layers human expertise on top of professional
penetration testing software and tools, such as automated binary static
and automated dynamic analysis, when assessing high assurance
applications. A manual penetration test provides complete coverage for
standard vulnerability classes, as well as other design, business logic
and compound flaw risks that can only be detected through manual
testing.
Penetration testing tools are used as part of a penetration test to
automate certain tasks, improve testing efficiency and discover issues
that might be difficult to find using manual analysis techniques alone.
Two common penetration testing tools are static analysis tools and
dynamic analysis tools.
Pentest can be perform manually and with automated softwares applications to find vunerability in web application, web server, wireless devices, network devices, mobile devices.
MANUAL PENTEST
AUTOMATED PENTEST OR PENETRATION TESTING TOOLS
WHERE YOU CAN PERFORM PENTESTING
- New office locations are established
- New network infrastructure or applications are added
- Significant upgrades or modifications are applied to infrastructure or applications
- End user policies are modified
- Security patches are applied
Benefit from Penetration Testing
- Manage vulnerabilities.
- Preserve corporate image and customer loyalty.
- Meet regulatory requirements and avoid fines.
- Avoid the cost of network downtime.
