Network penetration testing is one kind of penetration testing—or “pen test”—that exactly aims a company’s whole computer network over the practice of ethical hacking. The objective of network penetration testing is to disclose and detect any vulnerability within the association. This contains doing an in-depth assessment of network security methods over outside tests and inside tests, such as mock phishing attacks and web application testing.

A network Penetration Testing  is a thorough security evaluation that extends beyond typical port scanning and vulnerability identification, aiming to identify security risks and their business implications on your network, whether it be internal, wireless or external Network Security testing is a vital process that helps website servers, threats that could damage any organization’s networks, network weaknesses, classify security flaws and other applications if they are criticized by hackers. It’s a vital stage in decisive how safe your network is by pretending attacks to increase illegal contact to the target network thereby measuring the current state network security.

Types of testing methodologies

Black Box

Black Box testing, often referred to as behavioral testing or external testing is a software testing technique that does not require prior knowledge of the internal code structure, implementation specifics, or internal pathways of an application.  It emphases on the request’s input and output and is completely reliant on the stipulations and necessities for the software.

Gray box

Gray box testing, which blends elements of both black box and white box testing, is a software testing approach employed to assess an application with a partial understanding of its core code. It searches for and classifies situation-exact responsibilities that request’s poor code structure has produced.

White Box      

White Box testing scrutinizes the underlying structure, coding, and architecture of software to validate the input-output flow and enhance the application’s design, security, and utility. Glass box testing, open box testing, clear box testing and internal testing are other names for this sort of testing because the testers can see the code.
