  • Publication number: 20190068631
    Abstract: Methods and systems for carrying out campaigns of penetration testing for discovering and reporting security vulnerabilities of a networked system. Penetration testing campaigns are carried out based on pre-defined penetration testing scenarios associated with respective time tags. A penetration testing scenario is selected by a user from a set of pre-defined test scenarios, the set containing only pre-defined test scenarios with time tags matching a scheduled starting time of a penetration testing campaign.

  • Publication number: 20190036961
    Abstract: Methods and systems for penetration testing of a networked system by a penetration testing system (e.g. that is controlled by a user interface of a computing device) are disclosed herein. In one example, a penetration testing campaign is executed according to a manual and explicit selecting of one or more network nodes of the networked system. Alternatively or additionally, a penetration testing campaign is executed according to a manually and explicitly selected node-selection condition. Alternatively or additionally, a penetration testing campaign is executed according to an automatic selecting of one or more network nodes of the networked system.

  • Publication number: 20180270268
    Abstract: A method of carrying out a penetration testing campaign of a networked system by a penetration testing system comprising (A) a penetration testing software module installed on a remote computing device and (B) a reconnaissance agent software module (RASM) installed on at least some network nodes of the networked system. In embodiments, at least the following is performed at the remote computing device: a target network node of the networked system on which the RASM is installed is selected; based on the target network node, a potential vulnerability that may compromise the target network node is selected; internal data of the target network node is received; and a validation step is performed. The validation is (i) carried out in a manner which does not expose the target network node to a risk of being compromised and (ii) is based on the received internal data of the target network node.

  • Publication number: 20180219904
    Abstract: Methods and systems for penetration testing of a networked system comprising a set of network-nodes by a penetration testing system (e.g. to enforce first and/or second rules) are disclosed herein. The penetration testing system comprises: (i) reconnaissance agent software module (RASM) installed on multiple nodes (each of which is a RASM-hosting node) of the networked system to be penetration-tested and (ii) a penetration testing software module (PTSM) installed on a remote computing device (RCD). Internal data from each of the RASM-hosting nodes is collected and transmitted to the RCD. Analysis of the internal data collected from multiple RASM-hosting network nodes determines a method for an attacker to compromise the networked system. The first and second rules are defined herein. Alternatively or additionally, one or more of the RASM instances are pre-installed on one or more RASM-hosting nodes before the penetration testing commences.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for penetration testing of a networked system by a penetration testing system (e.g. that is controlled by a user interface of a computing device) are disclosed herein. In one example, a penetration testing campaign is executed according to a manual and explicit selecting of one or more goals of an attacker of the penetration testing campaign. Alternatively or additionally, a penetration testing campaign is executed according to an automatic selecting of of one or more goals of the attacker (e.g. according to a type of attacker of the penetration testing campaign).

  • Publication number: 20100197401
    Abstract: An efficient method for a reliable and accurate rendering of audio in a virtual reality environment, such as computer gaming. It excels other known rendering methods in its ability to achieve high quality audio rendering in real time conditions using a regular personal computer without any need for a special hardware accelerated audio card. A total of k physical properties are defined for the sound source and for the various objects that may affect the generation and distribution of the sound in the simulated environment. For each one of those physical properties some applicable values are predefined in a granularity which is a parameter of the method. This way a k dimensional grid of data points is defined. For each one of those data point the sounds that will be heard by the listener are offline calculated offline as reference samples.
