    Ethical hacking can be categorized into several types based on the specific focus or techniques used:
    Ethical Hacking Training in Pune
    1. White-Box Testing
    Known System: The tester has complete knowledge of the system, including its architecture, code, and configuration.
    Internal Perspective: The tester can analyze the system from the inside out.
    Common Techniques: Code review, static analysis, and internal vulnerability scanning.

    2. Black-Box Testing
    Unknown System: The tester has no prior knowledge of the system, simulating an external attacker.
    External Perspective: The tester focuses on the system’s external behavior and vulnerabilities.
    Common Techniques: Network scanning, vulnerability scanning, and penetration testing.

    3. Gray-Box Testing

    Partial Knowledge: The tester has some knowledge of the system, such as its architecture or functionality.
    Combination of White and Black: Combines elements of both white-box and black-box testing.
    Common Techniques: Vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and limited access to internal systems.

    4. Web Application Testing

    Focus on Web Applications: Specifically targets vulnerabilities in web applications, such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and cross-site request forgery (CSRF).
    Common Tools: Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, Acunetix.

    5. Network Penetration Testing

    Focus on Networks: Targets vulnerabilities in network infrastructure, including routers, switches, and firewalls.
    Common Tools: Nmap, Nessus, Metasploit.
    6. Wireless Penetration Testing
    Focus on Wireless Networks: Targets vulnerabilities in wireless networks, such as Wi-Fi networks.
    Common Techniques: War driving, wardriving, and wireless network cracking.

    7. Social Engineering Testing
    Focus on Human Element: Exploits human vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access or information.
    Common Techniques: Phishing, pretexting, and baiting.

    8. Mobile Application Testing

    Focus on Mobile Apps: Targets vulnerabilities in mobile applications, such as insecure data storage, reverse engineering, and malware.
    Common Tools: MobSF, Android Debug Bridge (ADB), iOS Developer Tools.

    It’s important to note that ethical hacking often involves a combination of these types, depending on the specific goals and objectives of the assessment.
