Abstract |
Penetration testing is known as pen testing, is a fabricated attack used to identify the vulnerabilities in a system to check the exploiting vulnerabilities. Pen testing is usually accomplished by professional testers to find out the security risks and weaknesses involved in a system. Also, pen testing can be recognized as a pretend attack, performed to ensure that the system is secure and vulnerability-free. Pen testing is important for organizations because it detects weaknesses as well as makes the staff awareness high against those weaknesses. In one type of PEN testing, the expert engineer must test the risk of a system and its vulnerability manually. Another type is performing PEN testing and checking the risk of a machine in an automated way. The automated method enables organizations to achieve fast, easy, reliable, and efficient results. This thesis aims to introduce automated penetration testing tools and provide a platform that has multiple features of existing automated tools that meet the user requirements and are employed in a system to prevent security breaches. It also aims to reduce time, costs, and human resources. This framework contains multiple tools, and the results will be analyzed by comparing the time consumption. |
