The Penetration Testing Framework

Posted in Reviews, Tools on July 15, 2010 by Skyler

Here is a fantastic site for Penetration Testing. It is called, the Penetration Testing Framework.

This framework is created by Kevin Orrey. It outlines a step by step approach to conducting a penetration test. He builds upon the typical stages of a test:

  1. planning
  2. conducting
  3. post-assessment work

he also gives in depth instructions in checklist format for every step of the actual test:

  1. info gathering
  2. scanning
  3. exploiting
  4. maintaining access
  5. cleaning tracks

In the framework he lists the sites, and tools to be used and in most cases provides the actual commands to be used.

Overall, this is a fantastic sight that everyone should bookmark and reference often!
