A penetration test, or sometimes pentest, is a software attack on a computer system that looks for security weaknesses, potentially gaining access to the computer's features and data.
The process typically identifies the target systems and a particular goal—then reviews available information and undertakes various means to attain the goal. A penetration test target may be a white box (which provides background and system information) or black box (which provides only basic or no information except the company name). A penetration test can help determine whether a system is vulnerable to attack, if the defenses were sufficient, and which defenses (if any) the test defeated.
Security issues that the penetration test uncovers should be reported to the system owner. Penetration test reports may also assess potential impacts to the organization and suggest countermeasures to reduce risk.
The goals of penetration tests are:

Legitimate Reasons to Hack Include: Regaining Access to Systems that Owners have Locked Themselves Out Of (This happens a derpressing amount of the time) Demonstrating Security Vulnerabilities to Owners so that they can make educated decisions about their systems security requirements. Playing with your own systems to better learn how they work. To perform Hacking you need a solid understanding of TCP/IP Networking and Linux.

http://kernelmeltdown.org/blog I recorded my workshop last Thursday on this talk, but not surprisingly, the recording did not save! I decided to do the talk and demo again on my own and record it for everyone to enjoy... I did not anticipate it to be over 40 minutes, so I apologize for that, but here you go! Feedback is greatly appreciate it. Otherwise, I would not know what to change to make them better. :) You can get the powerpoint presentation here: http://kernelmeltdown.org/blog/offensive-security-part-1-basics-of-penetration-testing-video/

Discover what is a Penetration test and how it can identify all areas of vulnerability within your system. Penetration Testing with SSL247® is an ethical risk-management process in which our accredited, expertly trained hacking specialists conduct a real-life malicious internal or external test into your IT infrastructure to detect it's vulnerability to hackers. Conducting these tests pose absolutely no risk of damage or disruption to your system. No company's IT infrastructure is immune to the many vulnerabilities that exist online so it is unwise to leave the protection level of your system to chance.
