Module 1 - Solid Introduction To Penetration Testing PDF

This document provides an introduction to penetration testing. It defines penetration testing as evaluating security by simulating attacks from threats. It discusses different types of penetration tests based on the tester's knowledge and technologies tested. The document outlines the overall penetration testing process of reconnaissance, scanning, exploitation, and reporting. It describes the goals of penetration testing and this course in teaching hands-on skills for medium-level penetration tests. Key differences between vulnerability assessments and penetration tests are highlighted.

What is a Penetration Test?

gm

ai

l.c

A method of evaluating the security of a computer system or


network by simulating an attack from a malicious source that may
involve active exploitation of security vulnerabilities. The process
involves an active analysis of the system for any potential
vulnerabilities that may result from poor or improper system
configuration, known and/or unknown hardware or software flaws,
or operational weaknesses in process or technical
countermeasures.

Wow This Is a Nice Big Statement, but how do we define a service


out of it?

l.c

Finding vulnerabilities in applications and protocols through custom


exploit development
A service where exploits and tools may need to be written on the fly
during the assessment.
Identifying and exploiting code and business logic insecurities in web
applications
Tricking someone into divulging sensitive information
Testing the physical security protections of an organization
Cracking a network perimeter, exfiltration data and demonstrating
impact of successful penetrations.
Attempting to gain access to a system while evading security
monitoring capabilities
Finding as many weaknesses in technical controls as quickly as possible
Simply validating findings identified during a vulnerability assessment

One Current Approach to Definitions

ai

l.c

We sometimes define a penetration tests by


the level of knowledge the tester will have of
the infrastructure to be tested:
White Box: Full prior knowledge
Black Box: No knowledge
Grey Box or Crystal Box: Some variation in
between

om

Another Current Approach to Definitions

ai

l.c

A somewhat better approach is to define a penetration tests


by the technology and/or activity:

Network Services penetration test


Wireless Security penetration test
Web Application penetration test
Social Engineering penetration test
Physical penetration test
Client Side penetration test

l.c

Independently assess a system from the viewpoint of a


malicious attacker, whether a malicious insider or an
uninformed outsider.
determining business impact from a successful attack.
Test information security detection and response
capabilities in ways only an actual cyber-attack can.
Test a system with active exploitation tools and
techniques, validating both technical and non-technical
vulnerabilities.

l.c

we made our course to provide you with the


ability to conduct an effective hands on penetration
test
we are focusing on medium level penetration test
(NS|PT)
we have another course that focusing on
Advanced level penetration test (NS|APT)
we have a dedicated online penetration testing
labs that mimic REAL WORLD Penetration Testing
Scenarios

Vulnerability Assessment Vs. Penetration Testing

Vulnerability Assessment : just find and report


Vulnerabilities in a system network with out
trying to exploit these vulnerabilities

Penetration Testing : Finding and Exploiting these


vulnerabilities and take advantage of them to
going deeper on system or network and gain
more power on system

om

Vulnerability Vs. Exploit

1@

gm

ai

l.c

Vulnerability is a flaw or weakness in a system


that an attacker can exploit it to gain more
power on the system

br

Exploit is a piece of code or a technique that


can be used by an attacker to take advantage
of a vulnerability

Exploits Types :
Remote Exploit
Local Exploit
Dos Exploit

Vulnerabilities types :
Network Service Vulnerabilities
Web Application Vulnerabilities
Mobile Application Vulnerabilities
