This post is the beginning of long series. Before start I just want to warn you : I’m not a professional just someone passionate about the CyberSecurity.
I plan to write an article on how perform a pentest based on my point of view. If I think about I will upload a few ressources in order to help you to improve your skills 😉
But please before begin :
- Don’t ask me how hack facebook or someone
- Don’t believe yourself as a hacker if you can just use nmap
- If you think that the share is for dummies, please leave this site
Now, let’s do it.
Whats is a pentest?
A pentest is a simulation of an attack on specific target, this target can be a website, a server, an application. This “simulation” permit us to detect vulnerabilities.
May you ask you why a company will be perform a pentest?
This is a good question, in general the company perform a pentest in these cases:
- The company want to have a certification like PCI-DSS
- The company want to improve their security
- The company has already been pwned in the past
So, your journey to become a pentester begin now!
