FAQ – Frequently asked questions

What is a white box pentest?

In a white box test, there is full knowledge of the target system. The white box penetration test includes an extensive code review. This review is conducted with a focus on IT security.

Architectural and infrastructure aspects are also examined and subsequently evaluated. The white box penetration test, similar to the black box penetration test, requires a lot of time to perform. This fact is reflected in the cost of a pentest.


What is a Grey Box Pentest?

Themost necessary information was exchanged via the target system. This includes, for example

  • URL of the application
  • User credentials
  • User roles

The Greybox test is the most effective way to examine your application. Due to the lack of extensive information research compared to the black box test, more attention can be paid to the discovery and exploitation of security vulnerabilities.


What is a black box penetration test?

Your system will be tested by our experts without any knowledge on our part. We just give your company name to our testers and they start researching information.

This attack is close to a real attacker, but the initial information search takes a correspondingly long time depending on the size of the system, so that an extensive time frame must be chosen in order to obtain meaningful results.


Why do virus scanners and firewalls not provide sufficient protection?

Virus scanners and firewalls are no longerenough these days for a variety of reasons. Especially with networked applications, the server is the component that must be protected the best and there is usually no virus scanner. These are mainly found on end devices such as laptops or workstations, but not in the environment of servers.

The goal of a penetration test is to get past the firewall and gain access to the system via a legitimate application. While a firewall is designed to prevent attackers from abusing arbitrary services, a pentest ensures that attackers do not gain access to traffic disguised as legitimate.


We have conducted a professional IT security investigation – and now?

Pentesting is a process, not a one-time project. Their use changes almost daily, dependencies on programs can change and become vulnerable to new attacks. Therefore, it is important to implement a continuous IT security process.

A one-time pentest is essential to determine the status quo. In terms of a long-term IT security strategy, you need a continuous process that annually identifies and analyzes the problems in your system.
