Pentesting, also known as penetration testing, is a security assessment, analysis, and progression of simulated attacks on an application (web, mobile, or API) or network to check its security posture. The objective is to penetrate the application or network security defenses by looking for vulnerabilities.

These are usually weaknesses or flaws that an attacker could exploit to impact confidentiality, integrity, or availability. This goal is the same whether performing application pentesting or network pentesting.
