- Manual Vulnerability Assessment
- Vulnerability Scan Analysis
- Vulnerability Analysis/Protection
- Identifying System Vulnerabilities with OpenVAS
- Vulnerability Identification and remediation
- Planning and reconnaissance: This stage involves defining the goals of the test, identifying the methods and tools required for conducting the test. It also involves gathering intelligence to understand how hackers might penetrate the network.
- Scanning: Typically done in two ways, Static and Dynamic Analysis, the step helps to understand how an application responds to the attack.
- Access: Ethical hackers try to exploit the vulnerabilities using SQL Injection, cross-site scripting, etc., and try to steal data, intercept traffic and see how much damage can a real hacker cause to the organization.
- Maintain access: In this stage, white hat hackers test how long a real attacker can maintain the access, how deep can he penetrate, in the vulnerable system.
- Analysis: Analyzing the results of these tests will help configure settings, and other security solutions to patch vulnerabilities to protect against any possible attacks.
