Vulnerability testing is the process of discovering flaws in systems and applications which can be leveraged by an attacker. These flaws can range anywhere from host and service misconfiguration, or insecure application design. Although the process used to look for flaws varies and is highly dependent on the particular component being tested, some key principals apply to the process. When conducting a vulnerability analysis of any type the tester should properly scope the testing for applicable depth and breadth to meet the goals and/or requirements of the desired outcome. For the PTES assignment this week, conduct a vulnerability analysis (including both screenshots and narrative analysis) using the tools of your choosing (many have been covered in the course and the program to date such as Zenmap) to conduct an analysis for a hypothetical or real-world client. You can also perform the analysis on a Windows target in your virtual environment. Try the analysis of the Windows target with and without the Windows firewall enabled.
