Hi All, I published a paper on Penetration Testing on 26th Oct and was posted in Full-Disclosure and this mailing list as well but somehow this post bounces back from this list. I am much late in re-posting it here but it is better be late than never ;) Many thanks to Pete Herzog (Managing Director - ISECOME, isecom.org) for his compliments on this paper and encouragement to write more such paper in future. Thanks to others who has read and appreciated. This presentation is targeted for all security practitioners (i.e. Security Officers / Sys Admins / Security Auditors / Security Enthusiasts.etc). This presentation will give a clear picture on how pen testing is done and what are the expected results. Various screenshots are provided as a proof of concepts to give a brief picture of possible end-results. The goals of this presentation / paper are as follows:
An overview of how Vulnerability Assessment (VA) & Penetration Testing
(PT) is done
Defining scope of the assessment Types of Penetration Testing A brief understanding on how Buffer Overflow works How vulnerabilities are scanned and exploited What are the end results What a Penetration Testing Report should contain
