External
Penetration Testing Methods ______: In this strategy, the tester has no prior knowledge of the target system or environment. The tester starts with no information and must gather all necessary information during the testing process. This approach simulates a real-world scenario where an attacker has no prior knowledge of the target.

Zero-knowledge
Penetration Testing Methods ______: In this strategy, the tester has some prior knowledge of the target system or environment. This knowledge can include information such as the IP address, operating system, or applications used. The tester uses this information to guide the testing process.

Partial-knowledge
Penetration Testing Methods ______: In this strategy, the tester has complete knowledge of the target system or environment. This knowledge can include usernames, passwords, network diagrams, and other sensitive information. This approach simulates an attack by an insider or a skilled attacker who has already compromised the system.
