VoIP penetration testing- definition of this innovative testing

Nowadays the voice and data has combined to form a new and single network. It is very important for developing your present company. But this combination of voice and data has also made an easy way for the hackers to enter on your computer system and hack it. So it leads people to think of inventing a new security system or test to protect hacking. VoIP that is voice over internet protocol can be used as the best way to enhance your business. But you should also remember that the VoIP is like a big open window or entrance for the hackers to your business.
VoIP penetration system was invented to protect that kind of hacking...

What is Penetration testing or Pen-Testing?

Nowadays, there are thousands of people, trying to hack your business organization just to have name and fame. So, strict security system is very important for every well known organization. The main reason of frequently breaking down the security system is easily availability of 0 days, hacking tools, and even one click hack tools.

Penetration testing is an innovative system which uses the same way, techniques and also the same tools that the hackers usually use to hack the system of the well known organizations. This process is also known as the ethical hacking. The main idea of the penetration testing is to evaluate the security system in the...

1. Try to directly access bookmarked web page without login to the system. 

2. Do not sign-on system, directly try to download the file from the available download url, such as the input http://url/download?name=file and check if the systems restrict you to download the file. 

3. sign out and then press the Back button to access the page accessed before. 

4. ID / password authentication method: check with valid and invalid passwords, password rules say cannot be less than 6 charecters, user id and password cannot be the same etc. 

5. Important information (such as passwords, ID numbers, credit card numbers, etc.) should not get displayed in the input box when typing. They should...

Penetration testing is the security-oriented probing of a computer system or network to seek out vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit. The testing process involves an exploration of the all security features of the system in question, followed by an attempt to breech security and penetrate the system. The tester, sometimes known as an ethical hacker, generally uses the same methods and tools as a real attacker. Afterwards, the penetration testers report on the vulnerabilities and suggest steps that should be taken to make the system more secure.

Note: It is assumed that the reader of this article has some knowledge of the HTTP protocol - specifically, the format of HTTP GET and...

Our first article in this series covered user interaction with Web applications and explored the various methods of HTTP input that are most commonly utilized by developers. In this second installment we will be expanding upon issues of input validation - how developers routinely, through a lack of proper input sanity and validity checking, expose their back-end systems to server-side code-injection and SQL-injection attacks. We will also investigate the client-side problems associated with poor input-validation such as cross-site scripting attacks.

Dynamic analysis is the testing and evaluation of a program byexecuting data in real-time. The objective is to find errors in a program whileit is running, rather than by repeatedly examining the code offline.

By debugging a program inall the scenarios for which it is designed, dynamic analysis eliminates theneed to artificially create situations likely to produce errors. Otheradvantages include reducing the cost of testing and maintenance, identifyingand eliminating unnecessary program components, and ensuring that the programbeing tested is compatible with other programs.

A daily build and smoketest (also known as smoke testing) is one type of dynamic analysis.

Static analysis - A...

In this article on application security testing, we will be looking at vulnerabilty analysis,vulnerability scanner, vulnerability disclosure and ethical scanning.

Application security assessment is a unique area of assessment and penetration testing.  Unlike infrastructure based assessments, the methodology utilised by a security professional for identifying security vulnerabilities and significant issues is highly dependant upon the type of application being assessed.

Security Testing:

Overview

Testing which confirms that the program can access to authorized personnel and that the authorized personnel can access the functions available to their security level. Security testing is testing how well the system is protected against unauthorized internal or external access, or willful damage.
