Penetration Testing is an approach applied in order to perform security testing on a network system by creating real time cyber attack scenarios. It involves a set of approaches aimed at exploring a network in order to find potential vulnerabilities and mitigating them before any real attack happens. CryptoMize’s Penetration Testing professionals generate recommendations for rectifying security issues that were detected during the pen test. Our objective of the Pen Test is to improve digital security and provide protection against future attacks for the entire system and linked devices. A Pen Test entails the deployment of legal exploits on a network to demonstrate the existence of a security issue.
The Black Box approach is applied without knowledge of any information related to the technical aspects of a network. This type of test requires penetration testers to conduct comprehensive network exploration in an effort to determine the best way to organise a simulated attack.
The Grey Box approach to Penetration Testing is performed according to internal information for a network including technical documents, user privilege credentials, and more. Grey Box pen tests are a common approach that provides detailed security testing that takes place over a shorter period of time.
White Box Penetration Testing, it is sometimes referred to as crystal or oblique box pen testing. White Box approach involves sharing full network and system information with the tester, including network maps and credentials. This helps to save time and reduce the overall cost of an engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Penetration tests are divided into six categories, with most companies focusing on only one or two areas per engagement. For example, a company may decide to do both a social engineering and an external pentest at the same time. Pentesters have a tight scope and a specialised area of emphasis, allowing them to focus on certain attack vectors.
Attacks by the Red Team are more akin to a free-for-all. The methods and paths that Red Teams utilize to infiltrate your systems are usually completely unrestricted. They employ every means at their disposal to gain access, including wireless exploits and application flaws, as well as physically breaking into your business and taking sensitive information. Only the attack vectors you choose to deny in your agreement are an exception. With this in mind, Red Teams devote a significant amount of effort on penetration testing's pre-attack phase.
Following are the different types of penetration testing:
Each sort of penetration test necessitates a unique set of skills, procedures, and tools, as well as alignment with a specific business goal. These objectives could include increasing employee understanding of social engineering assaults, implementing secure code development to detect defects in software code in real time, or achieving regulatory or compliance requirements.
