Mounting the environment

A successful penetration test largely depends on how well your work environment and labs are configured. Moreover, a successful test answers the following set of questions:

  • How well is your test lab configured?
  • Are all the required tools for testing available?
  • How good is your hardware to support such tools?

Before we begin to test anything, we must make sure that all of the required sets of tools are available and updated.
