Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed for penetration testing of a network node by a penetration testing system to determine vulnerability of network nodes to macro-based attacks. A reconnaissance agent runs in a network node to prompt user responses to macro warnings upon detecting file openings by macro-supporting software applications of files not containing auto-executing macros, and the responses are used for determining vulnerability.
