# Best Penetration Testing Tools - Page 4

  *By [Lauren Worth](https://research.g2.com/insights/author/lauren-worth)*

   Penetration testing tools are used to test vulnerabilities within computer systems and applications. These tools work by simulating cyberattacks that target known vulnerabilities as well as general application components in an attempt to breach core systems. Companies conduct penetration tests to uncover new defects and test the security of communication channels and integrations.

While the [best penetration testing tools](https://learn.g2.com/best-penetration-testing-tools) are related to [application security software](https://www.g2.com/categories/application-security) and [vulnerability management software](https://www.g2.com/categories/vulnerability-management), only these tools specifically perform penetration tests. There are also a number of [cybersecurity services providers](https://www.g2.com/categories/security-and-privacy-services) that offer [penetration testing services](https://www.g2.com/categories/penetration-testing-services).

To qualify for inclusion in the Penetration Testing category, a product must:

- Simulate cyberattacks on computer systems or applications
- Gather intelligence on potential known vulnerabilities
- Analyze exploits and report on test outcomes

### 8. [DashSec](https://www.g2.com/products/dashsec/reviews)
  DashSec is an AI-powered penetration testing platform that helps engineering and security teams run continuous, validated security tests against their web applications and APIs. It combines a cloud-based control plane with an in-network agent to perform staged penetration tests and deliver professional, evidence-backed reports. DashSec is designed for teams that need to test more frequently than traditional annual penetration testing engagements allow, without the scheduling overhead and cost of hiring external consultants. It is particularly suited for startup and mid-market engineering teams, security engineers managing application security programs, and development teams responsible for securing their own applications. The platform deploys a containerized agent inside the customer's network, enabling it to test internal applications and private APIs that external tools cannot reach. Tests follow a four-stage workflow where each stage builds on the findings of the previous one: Authentication discovery - maps login flows, OAuth configurations, JWT handling, session management, and multi-factor authentication mechanisms to understand how the application manages access Reconnaissance - identifies the technology stack, discovers endpoints and API routes, and maps the application's attack surface Exploitation - uses its understanding of the application's authentication, technology stack, and attack surface to select and execute relevant attack vectors. Rather than running a fixed set of checks, it can attempt any known vulnerability type, from common issues like SQL injection and XSS to more nuanced attacks like business logic flaws and chained exploitation paths Reporting - synthesizes findings into structured reports that include an executive summary, confirmed vulnerabilities with proof of exploitation, severity ratings, and actionable remediation guidance Each reported vulnerability includes evidence demonstrating that it was successfully exploited, rather than flagged based on signatures or heuristics alone. Reports are generated in both an in-application format and as downloadable PDFs suitable for sharing with engineering teams, leadership, and auditors. DashSec uses agentic AI to reason about discovered information and adapt its testing strategy as it progresses through each stage. This approach allows the platform to chain findings together and identify vulnerabilities that require multi-step exploitation paths, rather than testing each endpoint in isolation. Teams manage their targets, agents, networks, and test history through the DashSec web application. During a test, users can follow along in real time as the platform executes commands, analyzes responses, and reasons about what to try next. Stage-by-stage activity logs and current and historical reports are accessible from the application at any time.

### 12. [Gordon VAPT](https://www.g2.com/products/gordon-vapt/reviews)
  Gordon Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) combines automated vulnerability scanning with certified analyst-led penetration testing in a single, continuously available service, eliminating the gap between scheduled assessments and ongoing exposure. The service begins with automated discovery and vulnerability scanning across an organization's external and internal attack surfaces, including network infrastructure, web applications, APIs, cloud environments, and endpoints. Discovered vulnerabilities are validated to remove false positives before results are presented, so every finding in the report reflects a confirmed, exploitable issue rather than a raw scanner output. Certified penetration testers then conduct manual exploitation testing against scoped targets, simulating the tactics, techniques, and procedures used in real-world attacks, including privilege escalation, lateral movement, authentication bypass, injection flaws, and business logic vulnerabilities that automated tools cannot detect. Testing covers external network, internal network, web application, API, and cloud infrastructure scopes, configurable per engagement. Each assessment produces two report formats from the same findings: a technical report with full exploit chains, affected assets, CVSS scores, and step-by-step remediation guidance for security and engineering teams; and an executive summary in plain language for leadership and compliance stakeholders, with a risk rating, business impact statement, and remediation priority order. Both are delivered within the agreed SLA, without requiring the customer to reformat or translate findings. Completed assessments map findings to the requirements of SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, NIST CSF, and Cyber Essentials. Customers receive a remediation verification retest at no additional cost to confirm fixes before closing the engagement. All scoping, scheduling, reporting, and retest requests are managed through a self-serve portal, with no email-based coordination.

By covering every phase of the attack chain—from initial access to data exfiltration—OST provides the necessary resources to simulate techniques employed by Advanced Persistent Threats and organized crime groups, many of which are not available in public tools. Key Features and Functionality: - Comprehensive Toolset: OST offers over 30 tools that address each stage of an engagement, including initial access, command and control , lateral movement, and post-exploitation activities. - Evasion Capabilities: The toolkit is explicitly developed to bypass defensive measures and detection tools, utilizing advanced techniques in payload generation, obfuscation, and process injection to evade antivirus and Endpoint Detection and Response systems. - Integration with Cobalt Strike: OST is designed to work seamlessly with Cobalt Strike, enhancing its capabilities through direct integration and extending the reach of both tools for more effective testing efforts. - Continuous Development: The toolkit is under continuous development, with regular updates incorporating new offensive techniques and procedures, ensuring users have access to the latest tradecraft. - Vetted Community Access: OST users gain entry to a private Slack channel, fostering collaboration, shared learning, and knowledge exchange among fellow red teamers and the Outflank team. Primary Value and Problem Solved: OST empowers red teams to perform more efficient and realistic adversary simulations by providing a robust set of tools that mirror the tactics, techniques, and procedures of real-world attackers. By offering advanced evasion capabilities and continuous updates, OST enables security professionals to stay ahead of evolving threats, effectively testing and improving an organization's defensive measures. This comprehensive toolkit reduces the time and resources required for in-house tool development, allowing teams to focus on executing high-quality engagements and enhancing overall security posture.
