Penetration testing is on security testing which helps in identifying vulnerabilities in a system. A penetration test is an attempt to evaluate the security of a system by manual or automated techniques and if any vulnerability found, testers use that vulnerability to get deeper access to the system and find more vulnerabilities.
The main purpose of this testing is to prevent a system from any possible attacks. Penetration testing can be done in two ways –White Box testing and Black box testing.
In white-box testing, all the information is available with the testers whereas in black box testing, testers don’t have any information and they test the system in real-world scenarios to find out the vulnerabilities.
