Report writing
Analysis and reporting are critical components of the penetration testing process that follow the active testing phases. Once the penetration tester has completed the scanning, gaining access, and any other exploitation activities, they transition to the analysis and reporting phase. This phase focuses on organizing, interpreting, and documenting the findings and observations made during the assessment. Here are key aspects of the analysis and reporting phase in penetration testing:
- Findings analysis: The penetration tester thoroughly reviews the data collected throughout the assessment, including vulnerability scan results, exploitation logs, and any other relevant information. They analyze the findings to understand the extent of the compromise, the impact on the target system, and the potential risks associated with the identified vulnerabilities. All vulnerabilities must be classified and prioritized. We can achieve this using the CVSS scoring system. The...
