What is a Penetration Tester? Penetration testers are often called ethical hackers because they attempt to crack into a computer system for the purposes of testing its relative security rather than to steal information or create havoc. In order to become a penetration tester, you’ll need to not only know how to write code but also write reports to demonstrate the results of your tests.
What are some of the responsibilities? A penetration tester has a lot of responsibility on his or her shoulders and their responsibilities only begin when they hack into a system. After that, they become part manager, part technical writer, and part security administrator.
