	Penetration test - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A penetration test is a method of evaluating the security of a computer system or network by simulating an attack by a malicious cracker.
		Black box testing assumes no prior knowledge of the infrastructure to be tested, and the testers must first determine the location and extent of the systems before commencing their analysis.
		The OSSTMM test cases are divided into five channels which collectively test: information and data controls, personnel security awareness levels, fraud and social engineering control levels, computer and telecommunications networks, wireless devices, mobile devices, physical security access controls, security processes, and physical locations such as buildings, perimeters, and military bases.

	WatchGuard LiveSecurity
		Be prepared to sign an agreement with the party who performs your penetration test that he or they be held harmless and not (criminally) liable for unintentional interruptions and loss or damage to data and equipment.
		Penetration testing services vary, so before you begin an audit, ask the auditor for a document that explains the entire process, step by step.
		In spite of the most diligent efforts by a penetration tester, and even if you implement all the security measures identified by the tester, you could be hacked minutes or months after the "fix." A penetration test is not a magic bullet.

	Deep compaction of granular soils by Dr. K. Rainer Massarsch - www.geoforum.com
		The quality of test results depends on several factors, such as actual energy delivered to the head of the drill rod, the dynamic properties (impedance) of the drill rod, the method of drilling and borehole stabilisation.
		The penetration resistance is influenced by the stress conditions at the depth of the test.
		The Standard Penetration Test is mainly used to estimate the relative stiffness and strength (bearing capacity) of soils.

	Penetration Testing Guide
		It is not meant as a penetration testing tutorial, but as a broad introduction to the field, covering off the main concepts of testing and the key areas that differentiate the suppliers.
		Penetration tests can be conducted in one of two ways: fl-box (with no prior knowledge the infrastructure to be tested) or white-box (with complete knowledge of the infrastructure to be tested).
		It is logical that concentrating on penetration testing to the exclusion of all else narrows the skill set and is counterproductive when one of the key requirements of the discipline is breadth.

	Requesting a Penetration Test
		I've found that many penetration tests are performed on the basis that the people performing the test will also be called in to perform remedial work to fix the problems.
		Quite often penetration tests can cause system outages and peculiar errors - it is important that these are identified and resolved quickly and that the system owners can call an immediate stop to the testing.
		The penetration test and subsequent risk assessment will give you a quick and rough estimate of where your risks are - but it is not a full audit and it is only a snapshot of the system taken at the time of testing.

	iViZ - Penetration Test
		Penetration testing, also known as ethical hacking, is a method of attempting to compromise a system, as a potential attacker would, in order to see how much and what type of information is actually divulged.
		Penetration testing enables companies to receive a real life vulnerability test of their current security measures by attempting to break the security of your system to acquire information and capabilities that exceed those of a regular user.
		Companies use penetration testing as a method of determining how vulnerable their systems really are to all types of attacks.There are various levels of testing, including perimeter testing and “insider testing”.

	ARCTIC PENETRATION TEST SYSTEMS
		Over the range of porosities expected to be representative for field conditions, the effects of porosity variation on soil electrical conductivity were considered to be relatively minor when compared to the changes in soil conductivity induced by variation in hydrocarbon content.
		Laboratory testing showed that the electrical conductivity of the JFKIA sand samples depended primarily on the amount of water filling the soil pore spaces (degree of water saturation).
		Soil stratigraphy defined by Cone Penetration Test (CPT) measurements can be used to distinguish between the effects of soil type and pore fluid chemistry on measured soil conductivities.

		A penetration test ("pentest") is a subset of Consolvantâs comprehensive risk assessment service.
		The penetration test is a remote test of an organization's vulnerability and potential for information leakage from across the Internet.

		All the tests are OSSTMM approved, a certification developed by Pete Herzog (Chief of Security) at IBM and used by many organisations as a penetration testing guideline.

	Correlations with Penetration Test Results (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The advantages and disadvantages of each type of test, as well as their applicability in estimating various soil properties are discused by Campanella (1994).
		Table 1 provides a comparison between the standard penetration test (SPT) and cone penetration test (electric CPT and piezocone), for which a large database for empirical correlations with geotechnical properties is available.
		However, given its advantages - precision, repeatability, continuous logging, multiple channel measurements, as well as ease of use in offshore testing (Jefferies and Davies (1993)) - the cone penetration test is becoming increasingly popular for in-situ investigations (especially in Europe and Canada).

	Bankers Online: Physical penetration test
		Having the patches properly tested and installed as quickly as possible is vital to insuring the security of an institution's vital infrastructure.
		A true penetration test of the network is one that is carried out off site; it is an attempt to either dial into a port using a port scanner, or it is an attempt to use side doors into the network via the Internet.
		The physical "penetration" you speak of is nothing more than a test of the physical access into the affected facility and your attempt to see if employees would challenge the individual.

	Chemical Vapour Penetration Test Facility (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		A novel Chemical vapour Penetration Test Facility for evaluating the protective capability of protective clothing and equipment, which uses methyl salicylate (a non-toxic chemical more commonly known as oil of wintergreen) as the chemical agent simulant has been developed by DRDC Suffield and the Royal Military College of Canada (RMC), in Kingston, Ontario.
		The most viable and realistic option was to develop an environmental vapour chamber and test protocol that included the involvement of human subjects wearing complete protective ensembles and undergoing a physical activity regime, while being exposed to a chemical agent simulant vapour challenge.
		The front half of the chamber, opposite the fan bank, is the area reserved for the participants or equipment involved in the vapour penetration test.
