Aspects are properties of a software system which tends to cut across its main functionality.
View full-textĪspect Orientation is one of the upcoming methodologies to enhance S/W design and reuse. Comparative vulnerability analysis is also provided on the basis of various Assessment parameters such as exploitability, prevalence, detect ability and impact. We also discuss various automated tools available to a Pen Tester and their applications. In this paper we discuss various steps involved in penetration testing such as information gathering, vulnerability analysis, exploitation and test analysis phase. Pen tester applies various approaches to assess strength and weaknesses of a computer system. In order to provide quality software services web applications providers need to assess potential vulnerabilities and remove these potential weaknesses in their system to make it more secure from potential attackers. Web applications increased accessibility and availability of software and services however it increases risk of malicious attacks. Nowadays most of the software applications are provided on web. Through this paper we intend to introduce systematic and integrated approach to Web Application Penetration Testing. Penetration testing is a legal and authorized method to assess and secure a computer network. Penetration testing is a method to assess and evaluate the security of computer network, website and application software. Given that telecom companies control critical infrastructure, the impact of an attack can be very high and far-reaching, this chapter examines the attack strategies and ethical hacking in telecommunication with a view to help the industry to understand, prepare and defend themselves against existing and potential cyber threats and attacks. Cyber criminals often achieve their aim using different strategies, including the exploitation of vulnerabilities in both software and hardware and other possible loopholes. Hackers often compromise telecommunication systems and attempt to steal users’ information, defraud people and also attack telecom services and infrastructures. Telecom companies are a big target for cyber-attacks because they build, control, and operate critical infrastructure that is widely used to communicate and store large amounts of sensitive data.
Data theft is the end goal for numerous attacks, with hackers seeking predominantly personal data, credentials, and credit card information.
The techniques employed by hackers are constantly evolving and so are their tools. There are rising cybersecurity concerns in the telecommunication sector as hackers intensify their sophistication.
