Information and Cyber Security

Abstract: Computer systems have faced the difficulty of protecting the data with which they work since the beginning, and as technology has advanced, computational security measures have become increasingly complex to counter potential threats. We're currently engaged in a war game with the traditional attackers and defenders. The attackers desire complete control of the systems. Defenders, on the other hand, virtualized systems to ensure the resources' safety in the event of an assault. Attackers have also developed increasingly complex strategies to circumvent such safeguards, necessitating the need to predict such events, which can be accomplished through the use of preventative measures. Simulating Penetration Testing is one way to accomplish this (PT). PT is a computer system attack that employs a series of specialized tools to search for security flaws. These tools may finally get access to the computer's features and data, allowing the finding of evidence of vulnerability. Cyber-attacks are more likely in virtual environments. The purpose of this paper is to present a framework for performing penetration testing in virtual environments. Keywords: Security, Penetration Testing (PT), Vulnerability, Virtual Environments, Cyber-attack.
