Penetration Testing

Some definitions of penetration testing:

1) The portion of security testing in which the evaluators attempt to circumvent the security features of a system. The evaluators may be assumed to use all system design and implementation documentation, that may include listings of system source code, manuals, and circuit diagrams. The evaluators work under the same constraints applied to ordinary users.

2) A security evaluation performance wherein practitioners attempt to gain access to a system despite security features.

3)The testing of an operational system for security weaknesses while attempting to override system privileges.
