Hello, and welcome to my blog!   This week, I will be discussing the topic of penetration testing and what it means for cybersecurity.   So, you may be wondering what penetration testing is and what is its purpose? Penetration testing, also known as pen testing, is a simulated cyberattack against a computer system to check for exploitable vulnerabilities. Pen testing is used to breach several applications, such as application protocol interfaces (APIs), and front-end/back-end servers. It can also be used to fine-tune the web application firewall (WAF). Pen the testing process can be broken down into five stages.   Planning and reconnaissance , which includes defining the scope and goals of the test, the systems to be addressed, the testing methods to be used, and intelligence gathering.   Scanning , which is to understand how the target application will respond to various intrusion attempts.
