Abstract

  With the new invention in technology, computer security is most often concerned for government agencies and organizations. Multiple organizations have a bulk amount of data over the internet which provides efficiency to access. But at the same time, security issues are enlightening which cannot be denied. This paper presents the detailed taxonomy of security issues which perhaps handled by penetration testers. We have discussed their scope and multiple phases of penetration testing through which every penetration tester has to go through. Additionally, some of the common vulnerabilities are analyzed with their detailed description. The paper concludes that while the technology is growing up rapidly, attacks are becoming more enthusiastic so mitigating these types of attacks security researchers are playing a vital role and this critical analysis gives a detailed report on the role of security researchers or penetration testers with the deep discussion of finding loopholes.
