Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Assessment: Introduction, Phases, Tools and Methods




Abstract:
Penetration testing is the practice of testing a computer system, network or web application to find security vulnerabilities by using a diverse variety of tools and methods. This work is a brief overview of the phases, including reconnaissance or information gathering, scanning, vulnerability analysis, exploitation, and reporting, along with some of the basic tools and methods of penetration testing. It’s fundamental, for every penetration tester, to be familiar with these concepts in order to successfully execute a full testing process and forge good reports.
