Re: Penetration Testing

["Barton, Robert W." <bartonrt () LEWISU EDU>]

We have done a POC here (I was not the professor).  The students were asked to “look around”, and try to think like a 
hacker as part of individual class projects.  The best three did find some interesting things, but I would say there 
focus would need to be refined to make it a better project, make it a team project, and the time given needs to 
increase (e.g. what is a good item to attack; the wireless network you found, or the web site, based on 
time/resources?).  Maybe too much freedom for somebody beginning this type of discovery…?  Send me an email privately 
if you want to talk more about it.

The Bradley course did a large scale attack; enumeration through social engineering.  It was a full semester long.

Have you ever had your own students do a penetration test against the University systems?  Both inside and out?

Bradley University has a class on penetration testing; they did a “red team” attack against an outside company.  The 
idea was to do outside and inside the following year (they had to get people on-board).  They did a presentation at 
ForenSecure this year.

Hi All,

We do one every couple years by an outside vendor but we would like to start doing more on our own; possibly every 6 
months.  So, I’m looking for any penetration testing plans or the process used for conducting pen testing on your own. 
Any thoughts or ideas welcomed, thanks again.

Looking forward to your responses.

Have a Great Day!
