Manual Penetration Tests

You will run manual tests most of the time. Here, you will use your tools, skills, and knowledge to find the weaknesses of a network.

Manual tests involve the following steps:

Research – This step has a huge influence over the entire process. If you have a lot of information about your target, attacking it will be easy. You can conduct research using the internet. For example, you may look for specific information manually or run your hacking tools.

Kali Linux has a wide of range of tools that you can use in this “reconnaissance” phase. With Kali’s built-in programs, you can easily collect data about your targets (e.g. hardware, software, database, plugins, etc.).

Assessment of Weaknesses – Analyze the information you collected and identify the potential weaknesses of the target. Your knowledge and experience will help you in this task. Obviously, you need to work on the obvious weaknesses first. That’s because these weaknesses attract black hat hackers.

Exploitation – Now that you know the specific weaknesses of your target, you must perform an attack. You will “exploit” a weakness by attacking it with a hacking tool.

Preparation and Submission of Output – Record all the information you gathered during the test. Arrange the data so that your clients can easily determine the next steps. Make sure that your report is clearly explained. Don’t use jargon.
