penetrationbased
Penetrationbased is a term that can refer to several distinct concepts, primarily within technical and security contexts. It is most commonly associated with penetration testing, often abbreviated as pentesting. In this domain, penetrationbased describes methodologies and approaches that involve actively simulating cyberattacks to identify vulnerabilities in computer systems, networks, or applications. The goal of penetrationbased testing is to uncover weaknesses before malicious actors can exploit them. This involves reconnaissance, vulnerability analysis, exploitation, and reporting.
Beyond cybersecurity, the term "penetrationbased" can also be used in a more general sense to describe systems
