Intrusion tests, known as "Penetration Analysis" or "Ethical Hacking", are now a common practice to know the level of security a website has.

These tests assess the type and extent of system and network vulnerabilities in terms of confidentiality and integrity. They check the security of the network and empirically verify the resistance of applications and services to misuse.

The so-called Ethical Hacking tests constitute an evaluation of the security and vulnerability of the web, in which the analyst actually tries to compromise the target machines or networks.

The ethical hacker may use various tools and techniques. Each of these techniques has its own steps, methodology and software used.
