Introduction
Specialists in IT security are in demand like never before. Threats from online attackers are increasing in particular. To protect themselves, companies need IT security experts who can identify vulnerabilities in their IT systems and present these in a report. To give you a clear insight into the tasks of a penetration tester, you now may examine the networks of Dubius Payment Ltd. for vulnerabilities:
Dubius Payment Ltd. is a relatively new payment service provider. As the company processes credit card information in its systems, it is subject to the security standard of the credit card industry, the PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security). In order to obtain PCI certification, the company is obligated to undertake penetration testing of its IT systems, and they have opted to hire you for the job.
Whilst working your way through the security analysis, you will probably encounter several hurdles between you and the solution. These problems and perhaps occasional bewilderment are par for the course for penetration tester, but together we will find the way. We wish you much success, but also a bit of head scratching in the following chapters ;)
