A Comparison Study of Open Source Penetration Testing Tools

Abstract

Penetration testing also known as Pen Test is a series of activities which is performed by authorized simulated attack on computer system, network or web application to find vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit. It helps confirm the efficiency and effectiveness of the various security measures that have been implemented. In the world of Open Source Software, even Penetration Testing is not untouched. The purpose of this pilot study was to compare various the open source penetration testing tools.
