Expert White Box Penetration Testing

Unit testing: Experts apply the white box technique to evaluate the code's performance. The employment of this method facilitates early identification of most bugs within the SDLC at a stage when they are simpler and more cost-effective to rectify.

Integration testing: A unit may operate flawlessly, but when integrated with others, complications can occur. This check is conducted to confirm proper connection and interaction with different systems and is done by examining the source code components as a collective entity. It prevents errors arising from disparate code and logic, enhances coverage, and offers an additional layer of reliability.

Regression testing: Changes in the code can trigger defects and malfunctions to appear or reappear. Regression tests are executed to mitigate these risks and ensure it continues functioning well. This step is critical in assuring the software's overall stability.

Acceptance testing: Upon completion of system checks, the examiners evaluate the software's performance in a real-world environment. This phase aims to confirm that all process flows have been adequately addressed.

1. Statement coverage: A statement in software development is a line of code that directs the compiler to perform a certain action that should be executed at least once. This is what the statement coverage technique is designed for. Developers rectify erroneous statements if a section is unused or unreachable due to programming errors or updates.
2. Branch coverage: A branch is an instruction that orders a computer to execute different commands instead of running the statements sequentially. This may include if-else and other conditional loops with true and false branches. Therefore, the expert establishes two conditions using this method: one for true and the other for false. The primary purpose of this technique is to ensure each branch is covered and executed at least once.
3. Path coverage: Using the path coverage method, the examiner scrutinises the entire programme along all possible paths, from beginning to end. This comprehensive technique ensures all paths are functional, efficient, and necessary.

1. Planning and Preparation
   This beginning phase of the penetration testing process centres on collecting data about the target system. Typically, this is undertaken through meetings with developers where the application, attributes, and functions are detailed. Login details and source code are supplied, and the application's logic flow is explained.
2. Scanning and Discovery
   During this stage, the expert seeks more information by looking for security flaws using tools like Nmap. The scan usually yields details such as the operating system version and the software type. Also, it checks for vulnerable versions of the operating software.
3. Vulnerability Analysis
   The penetration tester should now search for publicly known susceptibilities and attack entry vectors that could serve as potential routes into the target. This might encompass but is not restricted to, known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) in the system, susceptible versions, and third-party applications utilised by the target.
4. Proof Of Concepts
   At this juncture, the professional will have noted several potential susceptibilities attackers can exploit gathered via automated scanning and manual research. For each weakness detected, the examiner creates proof of concepts to demonstrate that they are exploitable and pose a security risk.
