Types of Software Testing. In this section, we will describe different types of software testing. Various types of software testing are performed to achieve different.James Bach’s Blog . She declined. This blog post is intended to explore that and hopefully improve the chances that if you think I’m a bad guy, you are thinking that for the right reasons and not making a mistake. It’s never fun for me to be a part of something that brings pain to other people. I believe my actions were correct, yet still I am sorry that I caused Maaret hurt, and I will try to think of ways to confer better in the future. Here’s the theme of this post: Getting up in front of the world to speak your mind is a dangerous process. You will be misunderstood, and that will feel icky. ![]() Whether or not you think of yourself as a leader, speaking at a conference IS an act of leadership, and leadership carries certain responsibilities. I long ago learned to let go of the outcome when I speak in public. I throw the ideas out there, and I do that as an American Aging Overweight Left- Handed Atheist Married Father- And- Father- Figure Rough- Mannered Bearded Male Combative Aggressive Assertive High School Dropout Self- Confident Freedom- Loving Sometimes- Unpleasant- To- People- On- Twitter Intellectual. I know that my ideas will not be considered in a neutral context, but rather in the context of how people feel about all that. I accept that. Regardless of what anyone else does with our words, I believe we speakers need to think about how our actions help or harm others. I think a lot about this. ![]() Interview Questions for QA Tester Author: Prakash Nepal Started: Janury 25, 2007 Background: qaquestions.net has been around more than 10 years now (Time just flies. CIT 12 - COMPUTER LITERACY 3 units, 3 lecture hours, l lab hour, (Formerly Computer Information Systems 56 and Information Systems 12) ADVISORY: Eligibility for. Let me clarify. I’m not saying it’s wrong to upset people or to have disagreement. We have several different culture wars (my reviewers said “do you have to say wars?”) going on in the software development and testing worlds right now, and they must continue or be resolved organically in the marketplace of ideas. What I’m saying is that anyone who speaks out publicly must try to be cognizant of what words do and accept the right of others to react. Although I’m surprised and certainly annoyed by the dark interpretations some people are making of what I did, the burden of such feelings is what I took on when I first put myself forward as a public scold about testing and software engineering, a quarter century ago. My annoyance about being darkly interpreted is not your problem. Your problem, assuming you are reading this and are interested in the state of the testing craft, is to feel what you feel and think what you think, then react as best fits your conscience. Then I listen and try to debug the situation, including helping you debug yourself while I debug myself. This process drives the evolution of our communities. Jay Philips, Ash Coleman, Mike Talks, Ilari Henrik Aegerter, Keith Klain, Anna Royzman, Anne- Marie Charrett, David Greenlees, Aaron Hodder, Michael Bolton, and my own wife all approached me with reactions that helped me write this post. Some others approached me with reactions that weren’t as helpful, and that’s okay, too. Leadership and The Right of Responding to Leaders. In my code of conduct, I don’t get to say “I’m not a leader.” I can say no one works for me and no one has elected me, but there is more to leadership than that. People with strong voices and ideas gain a certain amount of influence simply by virtue of being interesting. I made myself interesting, and some people want to hear what I have to say. But that comes with an implied condition that I behave reasonably. The community, over time negotiates what “reasonable” means. I am both a participant and a subject of those negotiations. I recommend that we hold each other accountable for our public, professional words. I accept accountability for mine. I insist that this is true for everyone else. Please join me in that insistence. People who speak at conferences are tacitly asserting that they are thought leaders– that they deserve to influence the community. If that influence comes with a rule that “you can’t talk about me without my permission” it would have a chilling effect on progress. You can keep to yourself, of course; but if you exercise your power of speech in a public forum you cannot cry foul when someone responds to you. Please join me in my affirmation that we all have the right of response when a speaker takes the microphone to keynote at a conference. Some people have pointed out that it’s not okay to talk back to performers in a comedy show or Broadway play. So is that what a conference is to you? I guess I believe that conferences should not be for show. Conferences are places for conferring. However, I can accept that some parts of a conference might be run like infomercials or circus acts. There could be a place for that. The Slide. Here is the slide I used the other day: Before I explain this slide, try to think what it might mean. What might its purposes be? That’s going to be difficult, without more information about the conference and the talks that happened there. Here are some things I imagine may be going through your mind: There is someone whose name is Maaret who James thinks he’s different from. He doesn’t trust nice people. Nice people are false. Is Maaret nice and therefore he doesn’t trust her, or does Maaret trust nice people and therefore James worries that she’s putting herself at risk? Is James saying that niceness is always false? That’s seems wrong. I have been nice to people whom I genuinely adore. Is he saying that it is sometimes false? I have smiled and shook hands with people I don’t respect, so, yes, niceness can be false. But not necessarily. Why didn’t he put qualifying language there? He likes debate and he thinks that Maaret doesn’t? Maybe she just doesn’t like bad debate. Did she actually say she doesn’t like debate? What if I don’t like debate, does that mean I’m not part of this community? He thinks excellence requires attention and energy and she doesn’t? Why is James picking on Maaret? Look, if all I saw was this slide, I might be upset, too. So, whatever your impression is, I will explain the slide. Like I said I was speaking at a conference in NYC. Also keynoting was Maaret Pyh. We were both speaking about the testing role. I have some strong disagreements with Maaret about the social situation of testers. But as I watched her talk, I was a little surprised at how I agreed with the text and basic concepts of most of Maaret’s actual slides, and a lot of what she said. We have clashed in person and on Twitter.) I was a bit worried that some of what I was going to say would seem like a rehash of what she just did, and I didn’t want to seem like I was papering over the serious differences between us. That’s why I decided to add a contrast slide to make sure our differences weren’t lost in the noise. This means a slide that highlights differences, instead of points of connection. There were already too many points of connection. The slide was designed specifically: for people to see who were in a specific room at a specific time. Maaret which established the basis of the contrast I was making. I and Maaret were present in the room during the only time that this slide would ever be seen (unless someone tweeted it to people who would certainly not understand the context). I assume will be public, someday). I had invited anyone in the audience, including Maaret, to ask me questions or make challenges. These people had just seen Maaret’s talk and were about to see mine. In the room, I explained the slide and took questions about it. Maaret herself spoke up about it, for which I publicly thanked her for doing so. It wasn’t something I was posting with no explanation or context. Nor was it part of the normal slides of my keynote. Now I will address some specific issues that came up on Twitter: 1. On Naming Maaret. Maaret has expressed the belief that no one should name another person in their talk without getting their permission first. I vigorously oppose that notion. It’s completely contrary to the workings of a healthy society. If that principle is acceptable, then you must agree that there should be no free press. Instead, I would say if you stand up and speak in the guise of an expert, then you must be personally accountable for what you say. You are fair game to be named and critiqued. And the weird thing is that Maaret herself, regardless of what she claims to believe, behaves according to my principle of freedom to call people out. She, herself, tweeted my slide and talked about me on Twitter without my permission. Of course, I think that is perfectly acceptable behavior, so I’m not complaining. But it does seem to illustrate that community discourse is more complicated than “be nice” or “never cause someone else trouble with your speech” or “don’t talk about people publicly unless they gave you permission.”2. On Being Nice. Maaret had a slide in her talk about how we can be kind to each other even though we disagree. I remember her saying the word “nice” but she may have said “kind” and I translated that into “nice” because I believed that’s what she meant. I react to that because, as a person who believes in the importance of integrity and debate over getting along for the sake of appearances, I observe that exhortations to “be nice” or even to “be kind” are often used when people want to quash disturbing ideas and quash the people who offer them. I’m not okay with that. No one who believes there is trouble in the world should be okay with that. Each of us gets to have a voice. I make protests about things that matter to me, you make protests about things that matter to you. I think we need a way of working together that encourages debate while fostering compassion for each other. I use the word compassion because I want to get away from ritualized command phrases like “be nice.” Compassion is a feeling that you cultivate, rather than a behavior that you conform to or simulate. Compassion is an antithesis of “Rules of Order” and other lists of commandments about courtesy. Compassion is real. Throughout my entire body of work you will find that I promote real craftsmanship over just following instructions. My concern about “niceness” is the same kind of thing. Pentest. Box Tools. Note: Below are the only tools which are installed by default in Pentest. Box. But you can also install other tools through Tools. Manager. To know the list of tools which can be installed through Tools. Manager, visit modules. Welcome to the Pentest. Box Tool List Website! Here you will find a list of the tools which are inside Pentest. Box and how to use them. Its various tools work seamlessly together to support the entire testing process, from initial mapping and analysis of an application's attack surface, through to finding and exploiting security vulnerabilities. It's currently under heavy development but it's usable. It's currently geared towards web security, but it can easily be expanded to other kinds of scans. License: GPLv. 2. Author: Daniel Garc. It comes with a powerful detection engine, many niche features for the ultimate penetration tester and a broad range of switches lasting from database fingerprinting, over data fetching from the database, to accessing the underlying file system and executing commands on the operating system via out- of- band connections. Vega can help you find and validate SQL Injection, Cross- Site Scripting (XSS), inadvertently disclosed sensitive information, and other vulnerabilities. It is written in Java, GUI based, and runs on Linux, OS X, and Windows. While working on a network security assessment (internal, external, redteam gigs etc.), we often come across vulnerable 3rd- party web applications or web front- ends that allow us to compromise the remote server by exploiting publicly known vulnerabilities. Some of the common & favorite applications are Apache Tomcat administrative interface, JBoss jmx- console, Hudson Jenkins and so on. It is designed to be used by people with a wide range of security experience and as such is ideal for developers and functional testers who are new to penetration testing as well as being a useful addition to an experienced pen testers toolbox. Its various tools work seamlessly together to support the entire testing process, from initial mapping and analysis of an application's attack surface, through to finding and exploiting security vulnerabilities. It is designed to be used by people with a wide range of security experience and as such is ideal for developers and functional testers who are new to penetration testing as well as being a useful addition to an experienced pen testers toolbox. The main purpose of CMSmap is to integrate common vulnerabilities for different types of CMSs in a single tool. No web security scanner is dedicated only one CMS. Its various tools work seamlessly together to support the entire testing process, from initial mapping and analysis of an application's attack surface, through to finding and exploiting security vulnerabilities. It scans IP addresses and ports as well as has many other features. It is widely used by network administrators and just curious users around the world, including large and small enterprises, banks, and government agencies. It's currently geared towards web security, but it can easily be expanded to other kinds of scans. License: GPLv. 2. Author: Daniel Garc. Great for getting an initial footprint of your targets and discovering additional subdomains. Insta. Recon will do. DNS (direct, PTR, MX, NS) lookups. Whois (domains and IP) lookups. Google dorks in search of subdomains Shodan lookups. Reverse DNS lookups on entire CIDRs. Author: Luis Teixeira. License: MIT License. Nmap - Nmap (. Many systems and network administrators also find it useful for tasks such as network inventory, managing service upgrade schedules, and monitoring host or service uptime. Nmap uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what hosts are available on the network, what services (application name and version) those hosts are offering, what operating systems (and OS versions) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens of other characteristics. It was designed to rapidly scan large networks, but works fine against single hosts. Nmap runs on all major computer operating systems, and official binary packages are available for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. In addition to the classic command- line Nmap executable, the Nmap suite includes an advanced GUI and results viewer (Zenmap), a flexible data transfer, redirection, and debugging tool (Ncat), a utility for comparing scan results (Ndiff), and a packet generation and response analysis tool (Nping). You can obtain a full list or just part. By analyzing the results of a network device scan obtained with Snmp. Walk you can develop a list of supported MIBs and, in this way, obtain full descriptions of variables and possible values. Its goal is to automate the process of gathering intelligence about a given target, which may be an IP address, domain name, hostname or network subnet. Spider. Foot can be used offensively, i. It also supports modes for supplying a favicon which looks like a lock icon, selective logging, and session denial. It is designed to be fast and comprehensive, and should help organizations and testers identify misconfigurations affecting their SSL servers. It helps penetration testers and bug hunters collect and gather subdomains for the domain they are targeting. Sublist. 3r currently supports the following search engines: Google, Yahoo, Bing, Baidu, and Ask. More search engines may be added in the future. Sublist. 3r also gathers subdomains using Netcraft and DNSdumpster. Some of the magic behind Sub. Brute is that it uses open resolvers as a kind of proxy to circumvent DNS rate- limiting. This design also provides a layer of anonymity, as Sub. Brute does not send traffic directly to the target's name servers. Given a target (URL, IP, or HASH) or a file full of targets Automater will return relevant results from sources like the following: IPvoid. Robtex. com, Fortiguard. Urlvoid. com, Labs. Threat. Expert, Vx. Vault, and Virus. Total. It lets you see what’s happening on your network at a microscopic level. It is the de facto (and often de jure) standard across many industries and educational institutions. Wireshark development thrives thanks to the contributions of networking experts across the globe. It is a penetration testing tool that focuses on the web browser. Download Metasploit variant if not done from here. Sql. Map - sqlmap is an open source penetration testing tool that automates the process of detecting and exploiting SQL injection flaws and taking over of database servers. It comes with a powerful detection engine, many niche features for the ultimate penetration tester and a broad range of switches lasting from database fingerprinting, over data fetching from the database, to accessing the underlying file system and executing commands on the operating system via out- of- band connections. Its various tools work seamlessly together to support the entire testing process, from initial mapping and analysis of an application's attack surface, through to finding and exploiting security vulnerabilities. Findmyhash - findmyhash. Each software stores its passwords using different techniques (plaintext, APIs, custom algorithms, databases, etc.). This tool has been developed for the purpose of finding these passwords for the most commonly- used software. At this moment, it supports 2. Programs on Microsoft Windows and 1. Linux/Unix- Like OS. Its primary purpose is to detect weak Unix passwords. Besides several crypt(3) password hash types most commonly found on various Unix systems, supported out of the box are Windows LM hashes, plus lots of other hashes and ciphers in the community- enhanced version. I opted for a different approach in order to not create yet another brute- forcing tool and avoid repeating the same shortcomings. Patator is a multi- threaded tool written in Python, that strives to be more reliable and flexible than his fellow predecessors. It crack hashes with rainbow tables. Rainbow. Crack uses time- memory tradeoff algorithm to crack hashes. It differs from brute force hash crackers. A brute force hash cracker generate all possible plaintexts and compute the corresponding hashes on the fly, then compare the hashes with the hash to be cracked. Once a match is found, the plaintext is found. If all possible plaintexts are tested and no match is found, the plaintext is not found. With this type of hash cracking, all intermediate computation results are discarded. It is very fast and flexible, and new modules are easy to add. This tool makes it possible for researchers and security consultants to show how easy it would be to gain unauthorized access to a system remotely. It is designed to be used by people with a wide range of security experience and as such is ideal for developers and functional testers who are new to penetration testing as well as being a useful addition to an experienced pen testers toolbox. No splendid GUI interface, but the most efficient (less than 2 minutes per scan in average) and more accurate. It can decode resources to nearly original form and rebuild them after making some modifications; it makes possible to debug smali code step by step. Also it makes working with an app easier because of project- like file structure and automation of some repetitive tasks like building apk, etc. You can browse the reconstructed source code with the JD- GUI for instant access to methods and fields.

The syntax is loosely based on Jasmin's/dedexer's syntax, and supports the full functionality of the dex format (annotations, debug info, line info, etc.). You can access smali and baksmali by typing smali and baksmali. License: BSD. Stress Testing.
