The primary difference between true hacking and penetration testing is:
Permission
Durations
Attack types allowed
Tools
During a penetration test, the ethical hacker has explicit permission of the owner in writing. Edit: that is misleading. One can interpret this as permissions acquired during the pen test. And duration is largely the same then? Tell that to some APT that takes years to craft an attack. Ever seen a pen test that takes as long?
