Abstract
Methods and systems for penetration testing of a networked system comprising a set of network-nodes by a penetration testing system (e.g. to enforce first and/or second rules) are disclosed herein. The penetration testing system comprises: (i) reconnaissance agent software module (RASM) installed on multiple nodes (each of which is a RASM-hosting node) of the networked system to be penetration-tested and (ii) a penetration testing software module (PTSM) installed on a remote computing device (RCD). Internal data from each of the RASM-hosting nodes is collected and transmitted to the RCD. Analysis of the internal data collected from multiple RASM-hosting network nodes determines a method for an attacker to compromise the networked system. The first and second rules are defined herein. Alternatively or additionally, one or more of the RASM instances are pre-installed on one or more RASM-hosting nodes before the penetration testing commences.
