VAPT-3 (Types)

3 The types of penetration testing as seen below:



Let’s discuss this testing approaches one by one:

• Black Box Penetration Testing: In this approach, the tester assesses the target system, network or process without the knowledge of its details. They just have very high level of inputs like URL or company name using which they penetrate into the target environment. No code is being examined in this method.
• White Box Penetration Testing: In this approach, the tester is equipped with complete details about the target environment – Systems, network, OS, IP address, source code, schema, etc. It examines the code and finds out design & development errors. It is a simulation of internal security attack.
• Grey Box Penetration Testing: In this approach, the tester has limited details about the target environment. It is a simulation of external security attack.
