WHAT IS
PENETRATIO
N TESTING
A penetration test, also known as a pen test, is a simulated cyber attack
against your computer system to check for exploitable vulnerabilities. In
the context of web application security, penetration testing is commonly
used to augment a web application firewall (WAF).
Pen testing can involve the attempted breaching of any number of
application systems, (e.g., application protocol interfaces (APIs),
frontend/backend servers) to uncover vulnerabilities, such as unsanitized
inputs that are susceptible to code injection attacks.

PENETRATION
TESTING
External testing METHODS
External penetration tests target the assets of a company that is visible on the internet, e.g., the web
application itself, the company website, and email and domain name servers (DNS). The goal is to gain
access and extract valuable data.
Internal testing
In an internal test, a tester with access to an application behind its firewall simulates an attack by
a malicious insider. This isn’t necessarily simulating a rogue employee. A common starting scenario
can be an employee whose credentials were stolen due to a phishing attack.
Blind testing
In a blind test, a tester is only given the name of the enterprise that’s being targeted. This
gives security personnel a real-time look into how an actual application assault would take
place.
