Penetration testing (tástáil dhréimire) is údaraithe, ionsaithe insamhlaithe ar chóras chun vulnerabilities ionsaitheach a aimsiú sula ndéanann fíor-ionsaitheoirí amhlaidh — ethical hackers ag déanamh iarracht go gníomhach briseadh isteach. Soláthraíonn sé measúnú slándála réalaisticeach thar bhraistint uathoibrithe.
Cad atá i gceist ag tástáil dhréimire
PENETRATION TESTING = AUTHORIZED simulated attacks on a system to find real, exploitable
vulnerabilities:
→ ethical hackers / security pros actively try to BREAK IN (think and act like attackers)
→ goes beyond automated scanning → finds complex, chained, and logic vulnerabilities
→ AUTHORIZED and scoped (legal, agreed boundaries) — unlike real attacks
→ "How would a real attacker compromise this, and what could they reach?"
