Abstract

Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes to facilitate and perform dynamic best path determination for penetration testing. An action path that includes a kill chain that involves performance of exploit actions for a phase of a penetration test is generated by identifying the exploit actions based on a penetration parameter, a detection parameter, and/or a time parameter associated with the exploit actions. Performance of the identified exploit actions permits successful completion of the phase of the penetration test and designates the action path for inclusion as part of a best path for the penetration test.
