Hello Warriors,

I have researched a bit about Pentesting and I have found that the salary of Pentesters are really good.

Now, can someone tell me what Pentesting (Penetration testing) is all about? How hard is it? What are the significance of doing Pentesting to a website.

Any information you may provide will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Louie Tugas

    Penetration testing is when you simulate attacks on your site to see if there are an vulnerabilities.

    Not really necessary in most cases, as if you know enough about security to do it, you won't have those kinds of holes in your system anyway. Or you're using someone else's software in which case it's even more useless.

    But the whole idea of penetration testing is much more applicable to servers, not web sites.
