Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The gray box model is a hybrid of the white and black box models, meaning that the tester has limited knowledge or access to the system being tested, but more knowledge than in a black box model. This is commonly used in penetration testing by ethical hackers.

Answer: J
 Penetration testing, also known as pen testing, is a type of security test where a simulated attack is conducted on a system to identify potential vulnerabilities. This can be done by a red team, which is a group of testers who try to penetrate the system using various techniques.

Answer: I
 An ethical hacker, also known as a white hat hacker, is a professional who conducts security tests and penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities and improve the security of a system. They differ from crackers, who use their skills to maliciously attack systems, and script kiddies, who use pre-packaged tools without much knowledge.
