Guys recently we explained what is Penetration Tests. Now we are going to explain Types of Penetration Tests Network services test: This is one of the most common types of penetration tests, and involves finding target systemson the network, searching for openings in their base operating systems and available network services,and then exploiting them remotely. Some of these nelwork service penetration tests take place remotely across the Internet, targeting the organrzation’s perimeter networks. Others are launched locally, from the target’s own business facilities, to assess the security of their internal network or the DMZ from within, seeing what kinds of vulnerabilities an internal user could learn. Client-side test: This kind of penetration test is intended to find vulnerabilities in and exploit client-side software, such as web browsers, media players, document editing programs, etc. Web application test: These penetration tests look for security vulnerabilities in the web-based applications and programs deployed and installed on the target environment. Remote dial-up war dial: These penetration tests look for modems in a target environment, and normally involve password guessing or brute forcing to login to systems connected to discovered modems. Wireless security test: These penetration tests involve discovering a target’s physical environment to find unauthorized wireless access points or authorized wireless access points with security weaknesses. Social engineering test: This type of penetration test involves attempting to make a user into revealing sensitive information such as a password or any other sensitive data. These tests are often conducted over the phone, targeting selected help desks, users or employees, evaluating processes, procedures, and user awareness.
