Methodology for Penetration Testing
نویسنده
چکیده
Penetration testing is one of the oldest methods for assessing the security of a computer system. The idea behind penetration testing methodologies is that the penetration tester should follow a pre-scripted format during test as dictated by the methodology. A penetration testing methodology was proposed in this research. It is also important to consider a policy that should be followed by both the tester and the client to reduce financial and confidential disparities, and to bring conformity to the operations between the both parties, so this research suggests a policy that should be followed by penetration testers and clients of the penetration tests.
