Penetration testing guides

Short, plain-English explanations of how modern penetration testing works — what each term means, how the approaches differ, and how a path is proven all the way to Domain Admin. Start with the concept you need.

• Autonomous penetration testing — software that attacks a network the way a red team would and proves every step, the idea AutoAttack is built on.
• AI penetration testing — how artificial intelligence carries out the attack itself, and how that differs from a human engagement.
• Automated penetration testing — what scripted attack tools do, where they stop, and how autonomous testing goes further.
• Active Directory penetration testing — attacking the directory that runs a Windows network, chaining misconfigurations into Domain Admin.
• Domain Admin — the keys-to-the-kingdom privilege in a Windows network, and why it is the bar that proves a breach.
• Red teaming — the goal-driven adversary exercise, how it differs from a pentest, and what autonomous red teaming changes.
