The Penetration Testing Execution Standard
The penetration testing execution standard consists of seven main sections, covering everything related to a penetration test, from initial communication to reporting. The standard is divided into seven main sections: 1. Introduction and Planning 2. Intelligence Gathering and Threat Modeling 3. Vulnerability Research 4. Exploitation and Post-Exploitation 5. Reporting This version can be considered a v1.0, with a v2.0 in the works, providing more granular work in terms of 'levels' - as in intensity levels at which each of the elements of a penetration test can be performed at.
