How to become a penetration tester Part-I #45
Before you start
If you are new to
information security, forget everything you know about hacking.
Do not start using the
tool without reading about pen testing and how it works.
If you have not
designed its code, do not download or use the tool.
Don't use these tools
for hacking or hacking without the consent of your friends.
Read book, manual,
articles, be curious and not just a script kiddie.
Practice using
challenges, not real targets!
What is penetration testing?
Penetration testing is
a types of security testing that is used to test the security of an
application. It is conducted to find a security in a system. If a system is not
secure, then an attacker may be able to disrupt or take unauthorized control of
that system.
A security risk is
usually an accidental error that occurs when developing and implementing
software.
For example,
configuration errors, design errors and software related bugs etc.
What to become a penetration tester?
Knowing about risk on
the internet and how they can be prevented is very useful, especially as a
developer. Web Hacking and Penetration Testing is Self Defense v2.0 But knowing
about tools and how to use them really all you need to becomes a pen tester? Surly
not. A real penetration tester must be able to process rigorously and detect
the weakness of an application. They need to be able to recognize the
technology behind it and check every door that is open to hackers.
The purpose of this
repository is to first establish a mechanism of reflection on the penetration
test and to tell how to proceed safely to the application. And second, pen
testers are needed to reassemble all types of equipment or resources. Be sure
to learn the programming language and the basics of Internet security before
testing a layering pen.
