PenTest OPEN: Penetration testing and vulnerability analysis. Trends in 2016

We would like to proudly present you the newest issue of PenTest Open, which is free to download for everyone interested in the topic.

We are approaching the end of the year, so it is time to think about future and the year 2016. In this issue we discuss the  newest tools and trends that probably will play a big role in the coming months. You can read about privilege escalation with PowerShell and about Cobalt Strike. Have you ever thought what issues may occur in outsourcing to an SI - you can read what Jim Hart has to say about it in one of the articles.

There are also two interviews with CEOs of penetration testing companies. Our first interview is with Kai Pfiester, the founder of Black Cipher Security. We discussed the challenges of managing your own company and the state of the industry as it is today and in the days to come. The second interview Martin Voelk, the CEO of Cyber 51. We talked about his endeavours in making security better and more available. You can’t miss it!
