Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this modern world, all of the persons are using the facility of internet. SECURITY is one of the major issue of the internet. Everyday highly skilled hackers breach the security and take the advantage of vulnerabilities to access the confidential data. To overcome this problem one solution was suggested named Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT). Vulnerability Assessment is the art of finding an open door. Penetration Testing involves a series of activities undertaken to identify and exploit security vulnerabilities. Penetration testing is widely used to help ensure the security of the network. Traditional penetration testing were manually performed by tester according to scheme, the process is usually complex resulting in that it is labor-intensive and requires tester to be familiar with all kind of tools. So it is very desirable to use a unified method to describe the scheme which can be identified by computer, then the computer can be used to substitute for tester to perform penetration testing. This paper gives the overview of VAPT and describes the process & methodology of Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing.

Simulated Penetration Testing and Mitigation Analysis
Penetration testing is a well-established practical concept for the identification of potentially exploitable security weaknesses and an important component of a security audit. Providing a holistic security assessment for networks consisting of several hundreds hosts is hardly feasible though without some sort of mechanization. Mitigation, prioritizing countermeasures subject to a given budget...
متن کاملForensic Analysis of Risks in Enterprise Systems
The concepts of vulnerability assessment and penetration testing as methods of risk analysis have been a staple of the practice of information security. The seminal paper by Farmer and Venema [FV92] introduced the concept of performing penetration tests as a method of vulnerability assessment. Since the early 1990s the practices of vulnerability assessment and risk analysis have alternately con...
متن کاملQuantitative Penetration Testing with Item Response Theory (extended version)
Existing penetration testing approaches assess the vulnerability of a system by determining whether certain attack paths are possible in practice. Thus, penetration testing has so far been used as a qualitative research method. To enable quantitative approaches to security risk management, including decision support based on the cost-effectiveness of countermeasures, one needs quantitative meas...
