Penetration Test
ChatGPT It consists of an authorized simulated cyberattack on a computer system or network, conducted to evaluate the system's protection. Conducted in multiple phases from the perspective of a potential attacker simulating the cyberattack of a malicious user, it involves exploiting detected vulnerabilities (including human ones) to help determine if the system's defenses are sufficient.
Penetration tests, also known as "pentesting" or "ethical hacking," are a type of cybersecurity test where a security expert attempts to simulate a cyberattack on a computer system, network, application, or website to identify security vulnerabilities and determine if these systems are susceptible to attacks by hackers.
The goal of pentesting is to identify security vulnerabilities and provide detailed information on how these vulnerabilities can be exploited by hackers to compromise systems. In this way, organizations can take preventive measures to protect their data, systems, and resources.
Pentesters use various hacking techniques such as port scanning, enumeration, SQL injection, remote code execution, and other exploit methods to test the security of the system. After conducting the test, the pentester provides a detailed report that includes discovered vulnerabilities, recommendations for addressing the vulnerabilities, and best practices for maintaining system security over time.
