Hi Varesh Normal 0 Penetration Testing is used to check the security of a computer or a network. The test process explores all the security aspects of the system and tries to penetrate the system. Please refer the below links http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penetration_test http://bailey.st/blog/2011/04/28/top-penetration-testing-methodologies/ Thanks

The general process tends to be that your systems get tested and then at the end you receive a report that highlights all the insecure areas that need attention along with advice on how to fix them. I hope this will give you the brief idea about penetration testing
