Penetration Testing Information

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 PENTEST

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.

AUTOMATED PENTEST OR PENETRATION TESTING TOOLS

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.

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.
