White box testing strategy

Explanation:

Pen or penetration testing, also known as ethical hacking is a technique used by an organisation to examine the computer systems, networks and web applications for security vulnerabilities such as loopholes, that can be exploited by an attacker.

There several strategies in pen testing that can be used to check for network vulnerabilities, they are, internal testing, external testing, black box testing, white box testing, blind testing etc.
