How are Vulnerabilities Exploited during a Penetration Test?
During a penetration test, ethical testers try to break into the system using known weaknesses found earlier. This phase is called exploitation. Testers create simulated attacks that mimic actual ones using programs like Metasploit. The goal is to see how far an attacker could go exploiting these weaknesses. They may try to access files, take control of systems, or bypass security settings. This step shows the severity of each vulnerability, helps the company in finding the most significant threats before a real attacker can exploit them, and must be done carefully to avoid damaging the system.
