Analysis of Network Penetration Testing Methods in Ensuring Network Security

Abstract

This article analyzes penetration testing methods that are important in ensuring security in modern information and communication networks. The study examines the processes of identifying vulnerabilities in network infrastructure, in particular, the penetration testing methodology in WLAN networks. The article provides a detailed analysis of the stages of information gathering (reconnaissance), network scanning, exploitation, and post-exploitation. In addition, security protocols used in Wi-Fi networks, methods for detecting open ports, and mechanisms for identifying possible attacks are also covered. The results of the study serve to improve the security of network infrastructure, identify vulnerabilities, and develop effective recommendations for eliminating them
