Madhw0rm Short Bytes:- Penetration testing (also called pen testing) is a tool for testing a computer system, network or Web application to find vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit. 

Penetration testing is a method of evaluating the security of an information system or network by simulating an attack to find out vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit.



Testing involves active analysis of system configurations,design weakness,network architecture,techincal flaws,and vulnerabilities

Blackbox testing simulates an attack from someone who has no prior knowledge  of the system,and white box testing simulates an attack from someone who has complete knowledge about the system.




A comprehensive report with details of vulnerabilities discovered and suite of recommended countermeasures is delivered to the executive, management,and technical audiences.
