As many of us know, there are a lot of guides and information on penetration testing applications on Windows and Linux. Unfortunately, a step-by-step guide doesn’t exist in the macOS domain to help us through the penetration testing process. This means we had to spend even more time searching the web and experimenting with different tools and techniques to find the most effective approach for our testing.

Penetration testing is a crucial part of a comprehensive cybersecurity plan. By simulating a real-world attack, a penetration test can help identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses across systems, networks, and applications before a malicious actor can exploit them. To get off on the right foot with a penetration test and get an accurate timeline and budget for the test, it’s important to have a proper scope.
