Methods of penetration testing encompass a variety of strategies used to assess the security of systems, networks, and applications by simulating cyberattacks. These methods help organizations identify vulnerabilities, improve defenses, and comply with regulatory standards. Testers act as external attackers without any prior knowledge of the system. This method evaluates the effectiveness of perimeter defenses and the system's ability to withstand unanticipated attacks. In this method, testers have full access to the system's architecture, source code, and configuration. It allows for a comprehensive assessment of security weaknesses and helps in identifying flaws that might be overlooked in other testing methods. This focuses on the organization’s network infrastructure, identifying vulnerabilities in firewalls, routers, and other networking equipment to ensure robust protection against unauthorized access. Designed specifically for mobile applications, this method evaluates security flaws in mobile app design and implementation, including data leakage and insecure API interactions.
