🔍 Fundamentals of Penetration Testing

Vulnerability Assessment

Study the process of identifying and assessing security vulnerabilities.

Vulnerability Score: VS = I × E × A where I = impact, E = exploitability, A = accessibility
Risk Assessment: R = L × I where L = likelihood, I = impact
Threat Level: T = C × V × A where C = capability, V = vulnerability, A = accessibility

Exploit Development

Learn about developing exploits for identified vulnerabilities.

Exploit Success: ES = V × S × T where V = vulnerability, S = skill, T = tools
Payload Effectiveness: PE = S × D × E where S = stealth, D = delivery, E = execution
Attack Complexity: AC = T × S × R where T = technical, S = social, R = reconnaissance

Security Testing

Explore various security testing methodologies and techniques.

Testing Coverage: TC = A × D × M where A = automated, D = dynamic, M = manual
Test Effectiveness: TE = C × T × R where C = coverage, T = thoroughness, R = realism
Security Posture: SP = P × M × R where P = prevention, M = monitoring, R = response
