Gray Box Pen Testing

As the name suggests, this type of test is a combination of both black box and white box testing. In other words, penetration testing requires only partial knowledge of the internal performance of a web application. It is often restricted to access to software code and system architecture diagrams.

With gray box testing, manual and automated testing procedures can be used. Because of this approach, Penn Tester can concentrate his or her core efforts on the areas of the web application that he or she is familiar with and use any weaknesses or weaknesses from there and there. In this particular method, there is a high likelihood that "security holes" will be difficult to find.
