Pentesting 101: Hacking Legally with Warren Houghton
In my conversation with Warren Houghton, he showed exactly how a penetration test unfolds: starting with scoping and permission paperwork, then moving into reconnaissance and tooling. He demonstrated how a tester uses Kali Linux alongside Nmap for port scanning, Metasploit for exploiting vulnerabilities, and Burp Suite for intercepting and manipulating web traffic. He also highlighted the risks of overlooked exposures—like a public .git directory or outdated WordPress plugins—and stressed how secure configurations and network segmentation can prevent lateral movement. Throughout, he emphasized the constant need for learning and vigilance against ever-evolving threats.
