Using penetration testing to enhance your company's security Based on the fundamental principle that prevention is better than cure, penetration testing (pen-testing) is essentially an information assurance activity to determine if information is appropriately secured. Conducted by penetration testers, sometimes referred to as ‘white hats’ or ethical hackers, these tests use the same tools and techniques as the bad guys (‘black hat hackers’), but do so in a controlled manner with the express permission

completing the penetration test, discovering the vulnerabilities and exploits in a company’s network and systems, a report must be compiled to present to the board members and management so they can understand what exactly you did as a penetration tester. Writing the penetration report is overlooked by many beginner and unethical penetration testers because the job has been done but now the results and findings need to be communicated back to the people that hired you for the job. The penetration report

Penetration testing Introduction: Penetration testing or Pen testing is to find the vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit a network, web application or a computer. It is generally an attack on a computer looking for security weaknesses, potentially gaining access to the computer 's features and data. The main purpose of penetration testing is to determine the security weaknesses in a system. Pen testing can also be used to test an organization’s security policy
network is vulnerable to is to use penetration testing (pen-testing) to find the leaks in and out of our network. Penetration testing is a network security approach that simulates an attack from an intruder trying to get unauthorized access to the infrastructure. With this type of testing the intent is to discover flaws in the security settings of the system before they can be exploited. Information Assurance Research Corporation (IARC) should conduct penetration testing on a regular basis, so we
Chapter 3: Practical test “My House lab” Scenario. For this coursework I have decided to perform a penetration testing against “My House lab”, to evaluate and improve my WLAN Infrastructure security. The scenario that I had examined is a WLAN Infrastructure Network using a Virgin Media Super Hub (Netgear) , with more than 10 devices connected . Looking on the internet about the router model I own I could make an interesting discovery. I found an article written by an expert
