Question

Fred, who owns a company called Skyfelt Ltd., wants to test the enterprise network for presence of any vulnerabilities and loopholes. He employed a third-party penetration testing firm for a white box assessment. The penetration testing team was given all the necessary information about the enterprise network, infrastructure and provided them with a set of IP addresses on which they can perform tests. He gave them strict instruction not to perform DoS attacks or penetration test on live servers, because his company had previous bad experience with DoS attacks on live servers and it caused downtime for his customers. Fred wanted to avoid the downtime and asked the penetration testing team to perform the penetration test during the off-hours. What kind of penetration test did Fred ask the third-party penetration testing team to perform?
