An ethical hacker’s attempt to get access to a network without causing damage is called network penetration testing. Identification, reporting, and remediation of security flaws in the network and its security measures are the goal.
A huge number of endpoints, such as servers, workstations, mobile devices, and internet of things (IoT) devices, as well as security tools like firewalls and intrusion prevention systems, make up today’s networks, which are a combination of WAN, LAN, and wireless networks (IPS). Any one of these might constitute a hole in the defenses that permits intruders to break into the network.
An outside attacker is simulated during a network penetration test, who scans the network for vulnerabilities and then exploits them to demonstrate their potential impact on the system.
