A security-focused operating system supports the ethical Hacker to find weaknesses as well as exploit systems for identifying vulnerabilities in networks and computer systems. These operating systems come with pre-installed tools for the objective of penetration testing and ethical hacking. These operating systems are very important because they come with preloaded dynamic tools for building […]

Like weapons to soldiers, automated tools play a significant role in the viewpoint of penetration testing. Penetration testing tools are typically used to take care of laborious and rigorous works. With these tools, a tester can pay attention to more practical tasks which may not easily be automated. This section includes several penetration testing tools […]

A vulnerability assessment is a procedure of running automated tools against protected IP ranges or IP addresses to detect the weakness in the atmosphere. Vulnerabilities are usually in misconfigured and unpatched systems. The tools implemented to run vulnerability scans may be available in paid versions or free open source tools. The paid versions usually include […]

Penetration testing which is also referred to as ethical hacking tests computer systems protection against attacks, and executes a comprehensive analysis of the computer system vulnerabilities. A penetration test can also be useful in determining what occurs when the system goes into reaction mode to an attack, and what information can be gathered from the […]

Technically speaking, a penetration testing (pen test) is an organized attempt at penetrating a network or computer system from outside in order to identify vulnerabilities. It works similarly like those techniques which are being used in an open attack. Pen test is one of the appropriate measures taken in systems to prevent vulnerabilities before they […]
