Penetration Testing? This term means many things, or does it? Ask the right company, and it might come with a lolcat. Penetration Testing is a term misused, abused and exploited to the point where it is taken out back in the rain and given a 12-gauge to the head. Based on my research I will again give my interpretation of a Vulnerability Assessment and a Penetration Test and have a stab at Pentest puppy mills. But this time I will put the focus squarely on the Penetration Testing Execution Standard, let us dig into what a Penetration IS and what a Penetration IS NOT according to the framework.
