What is Black Box Penetration Testing?

Black box penetration testing replicates real-world cyberattacks on your business without prior knowledge of your system’s internal workings. Conducted by security experts, this method tests the organization’s security posture by assessing how vulnerable your systems are to attackers.

Unlike other penetration tests, the organization only provides the endpoint URL, along with proper permissions and agreements, without sharing any additional internal details such as code or architecture.

Key Steps in Black Box Penetration Testing

• Reconnaissance Technical data about the application or system under test is gathered using active and passive scanning methodologies. This information helps security professionals analyze potential attack vectors.
• Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) The testing team uses a combination of advanced automated tools and manual testing methods to identify vulnerabilities. Manual testing helps uncover more complex issues, such as logic errors and business logic vulnerabilities, which automated tools may overlook.
• Reporting and Remediation A detailed report will be provided, documenting each vulnerability discovered, its impact, and how it can be exploited. Clear, actionable remediation guidance is included to streamline the process for your technical team.
• Retesting After vulnerabilities are addressed, our team retests your system to ensure all issues have been resolved effectively.
