If you're new to ethical #hacking, one thing you'll want to understand are the different methodologies. These are commonly referred to as black box, grey box, and white box. They are defined as: - 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗕𝗼𝘅: The ethical hacker goes in with no prior knowledge of the target’s infrastructure or source code - 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝘆 𝗕𝗼𝘅: The hacker receives limited information, basic credentials or a rough network diagram, and works from there. - 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝘅: The ethical hacker receives full transparency: network maps, administrative credentials, source code, all of it.
