However, their meaning and implications are very different. A vulnerability assessment simply identifies and reports noted vulnerabilities, whereas a penetration test (Pen Test) attempts to exploit the vulnerabilities to determine whether unauthorized access or other malicious activity is possible.Penetration testing typically includes network penetration testing and application security testing; it also includes controls and processes around the networks and applications and should occur from both outside the network trying to come in (external testing) and from inside the network.QUESTION:Given this information, review the two links on how Kali Linux is often used in penetration testing, the tools it contains, and how it can assist a penetration tester to identify vulnerabilities in the network:https://linuxhint.com/penetration_testing_kali_linux/https://tools.kali.org/Once you have done that, answer the following questions as though you were an internal or external penetration test firm assisting a company in strengthening their systems, framework, and network.
