Manual penetration testing is a hands-on security testing method used by ethical hackers to identify vulnerabilities in IT systems, applications, and networks. Unlike automated scans, manual tests simulate real-world attacks to uncover hidden threats that automated tools may miss.
Unlike automated pen testing and vulnerability assessments that look for identified security issues, manual pen testing focuses on finding undiscovered network vulnerabilities.
Penetration testers use various methods to gain access to networks, including exploiting existing vulnerabilities, social engineering, and cracking passwords.
Companies can improve computer and network protection by detecting and exploiting these vulnerabilities. Manual penetration testing can be complex, but it is one of the best ways to identify network vulnerabilities and security gaps.
