Standards in penetration testing

There are several standards and frameworks that relate to penetration testing:

Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES): PTES is a comprehensive framework guiding the execution of penetration tests. It offers a structured approach encompassing pre-engagement, intelligence gathering, threat modeling, vulnerability analysis, exploitation, post-exploitation, and reporting phases.
