Pentester is one of the most controversial professions in the IT field. Kind of like a cybersecurity specialist who tests systems for vulnerabilities, but at the same time, many perceive him as a hacker.
Many people mistakenly believe that since a pentester is almost a hacker, then he should earn 300k / nanoseconds (minimum). On the eve of the start of the new stream of our course "Ethical Hacker", we will figure out whether this is really so.
What does a pentester do
Start over. A pentester can be called whatever you want: "ethical hacker", "system security tester", "health checker", "information security specialist". This does not change its functions.
A pentester is primarily a programmer and engineer who tests information system vulnerabilities.
