Penetration testing is a method of actively evaluating the security of an information system or network by simulating an attack from a malicious source.
Which of the following technique is used to simulate an attack from someone who is unfamiliar with the system?
Black box testing
White box testing
Announced testing
Grey box testing
A Black Box testing is no knowledge (Pure Penetration Test), Grey Box is some knowledge (Hybrid Penetration Test/Vulnerability Assessment), and White box testing (Vulnerability Assessment). Typically a company runs their own White Box testing since they have a good working knowledge of their networks. They can also have an external CEH professional perform this as well but it is best to have another party perform a Black Box Test. Announced Testing is not a valid testing technique in the Cyber Security community.
