There are five types of penetration testing:
Black Box: In this, the hacker attempts to detect information by own means.
External Penetration Testing: In this case, the ethical hacker attempts to hack using public networks through the Internet.
Internal Penetration Testing: The ethical hacker is inside the network of the company and conducts his tests from there.
White Box: In this, an ethical hacker is provided with all the necessary information about the infrastructure and the network of the organization that needs to penetrate.
Grey Box: It this, the hacker has partial knowledge of the infrastructure, like its domain name server.
