Analysis of Penetration Testing Tools

Palak Aar, Aman Kumar Sharma

Abstract


Penetration testing is defined as the procedure of imposing as an attacker to find out the vulnerabilities in a system that can be used to gain access to system for malicious use. This paper provides an overview of penetration testing and list out the criteria used to select the best tools for the given purpose. It also provides a brief description of the selected tools and furthermore we compare those tools. The results of the comparison are shown in terms of graphs and tables.
