What are the different types of penetration testing?

There are several types of penetration testing, including black box, white box, and gray box testing. Would you like to know more about each type?

Yes, please explain black box testing.

Black box testing simulates an external attack where the tester has no prior knowledge of the system. It's like a real-world attack.

What about white box testing?

White box testing involves a thorough examination of the internal workings of an application, with full knowledge of the source code.

And gray box testing?

Gray box testing is a combination of both black and white box testing, where the tester has partial knowledge of the system.
