Study Notes
Ethical Hacking
- Ethical hacking involves attempting to break into a company's network to find the weakest link in the network or network system, which is known as a penetration test.
Scripts and Automation
- A script is a set of instructions that run in sequence to perform tasks on a computer system.
- Scripts can be used to automate tasks and provide automatic responses to users, giving the appearance of a person being on the other side of the connection.
Hacking and Crackers
- Crackers are individuals who break into computer systems with malicious intent, and they may destroy data or cause harm to the system.
- Hacking tools are not always illegal to possess, and ethical hackers use these tools to help organizations improve their security.
Testing and Models
- There are different models used in testing, including the white box, black box, and gray box models.
- The gray box model is a hybrid of the white and black box models.
Computer Laws and Technology
- Laws involving computer technology change rapidly, just like technology itself.
Penetration Test Documentation
- A formal document that states what will and will not be performed during a penetration test is called a Statement of Work (SOW).
Confidentiality Agreements
- A legal contract outlining the confidential material or information that will be shared by the pentester and the organization during an assessment is called a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).
NIST SP 800-115 Methodology
- The NIST SP 800-115 Methodology involves the following steps: Planning, Discovery, and Reporting.
- Scoping is not a step in the NIST SP 800-115 Methodology.
White Box Assessment Support Resources
- Examples of support resources that a pentester might receive as part of a white box assessment include: Network diagrams, SOAP project files, and XSD.
- PII (Personally Identifiable Information) of employees is not an example of a type of support resource that a pentester might receive as part of a white box assessment.
