Conclusion

Pentest is an important practice, and deserves to be mentioned on the radar of every developer. Penetration testers are constantly coming up with new techniques to test the boundaries of the systems. When a project is assigned to the developers, they usually conduct the test manually. They either gather data with a client’s help or do a manual test using their hands, keyboard, and mouse. Sometimes, they may have to wait for more than a week to complete a test. From the developer’s perspective, they have the benefit of being notified when there is a chance that a vulnerability has been found. They can apply the patch and avoid critical downtime.
