Demonstration of successful exploitation and evidence collection during a network penetration test.
(Pentest Process)
Start with agreed objectives, asset boundaries, and threat assumptions. Testing can combine manual review with references such as OWASP guidance to assess common web, API, identity, and configuration risks.
Validate findings only to the level permitted by the rules of engagement. Reports explain evidence, likely impact, and practical remediation options so teams can prioritize follow-up work.
