pentester

A penetration tester, or "pentester", is a security specialist tasked with penetrating an organisation's most attractive assets and confidentially revealing all to management. They carry a bag of exciting devices, and tend to enjoy testing the human element of security the most.

Despite the inexplicable innuendo of his industry accepted job title, Bobby the pentester spends his days being tested by uncooperative staff, poor procedures, and red tape. Nobody likes the bearer of bad news.

pentesting

A penetration test, or pen test, is an attempt to evaluate the security of an IT infrastructure by safely trying to exploit vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities may exist in operating systems, service and application flaws, improper configurations, or risky end-user behavior.

I'm pentesting Microsoft's website to see if they're vulnerable for XSS.
