Social engineering penetration testing evaluates how susceptible an organization is to deception-based attacks targeting human vulnerabilities rather than technical systems. By simulating real-world social engineering tactics like phishing, pretexting, and physical infiltration, it assesses how well employees can detect and respond to such threats. This testing highlights the need for improved security training and protocols to protect sensitive information from...

Ahead of the Breach Podcast sits down with Jack Leidecker, CISO at Gong, to discusses the importance of proactive cybersecurity measures and building effective security programs from scratch.

Introducing WebQL, an automated JavaScript analysis tool that leverages CodeQL to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in modern web applications like SPAs and PWAs. By automating the extraction, beautification, and analysis of client-side code, WebQL enhances penetration testing by uncovering security issues obscured by modern development practices.

This blog introduces snickerdoodle, a customized Cookiecutter template designed to help penetration testers quickly create and share complex CLI tools. By automating project setup with features like pre-configured CLI interfaces, Rich logging, and integrated dependency management using Poetry, Snickerdoodle allows security professionals to focus on coding rather than boilerplate setup.

Website penetration testing is a simulated cyberattack designed to identify vulnerabilities in a web application. This process replicates the techniques used by real attackers to uncover security gaps. By proactively testing, website owners gain critical insights into potential weaknesses, allowing them to address issues before they’re exploited by malicious actors.
