Towards new challenges of modern Pentest. (arXiv:2311.12952v1 [cs.CR])

With the increasing number of internet-based resources and applications, the
amount of attacks faced by companies has increased significantly in the past
years. Likewise, the techniques to test security and emulate attacks need to be
constantly improved and, as a consequence, help to mitigate attacks. Among
these techniques, penetration test (Pentest) provides methods to assess the
security posture of assets, using different tools and methodologies applied in
specific scenarios. Therefore, this study aims to present current
methodologies, tools, and potential …
