During Black box penetration testing, the tester has no initial knowledge of the targeted infrastructure. Therefore, this approach is the most authentic as it mimics a real-life attack from an unprivileged intruder, showcasing how an attacker with no inside information can compromise an organisation. Typically, it’s a more time and cost-consuming option.
This penetration testing approach suggests that a tester has limited information about the infrastructure, usually shared in login credentials. Grey box testing helps understand how much access a privileged user can gain and what damage they can cause to a system. This approach balances depth and efficiency to simulate a breached attack or an insider threat.
White box is a penetration testing conducted with complete knowledge of the customer network and infrastructure and full access. It is a simulation of a targeted attack on the system to conduct in-depth testing of a system and gather as much information as possible using various attack vectors. White box penetration testing helps to reduce the overall cost of the process as it doesn’t require additional research of the client’s infrastructure.
