Penetration testing is the act of attempting to break systems, networks and software in order to determine where the bad guys might get in. Once you have determined the holes, they can be fixed but until they have been located, they are exposures to your organization.
Penetration testing is an art. You can learn a lot of techniques and understand all of the tools, but the reality is that software is complex, especially when you start putting a lot of software systems together. It’s that complexity that means that there is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to finding ways to get into systems. An attack that may work against one Web server may not work for the same Web server running on a different system. Sometimes, you can try a particular attack a number of times without success before it suddenly starts working and you find a way to break into the system. A skilled and successful penetration tester has not only the technical skills necessary to run the tools and understand what is happening, but also the creativity necessary to try different approaches.
Anyone who has some familiarity with computers and an interest in information security and penetration testing could be the audience for this book.
