Explanation
White box testing (also called clear box or glass box testing) means the ethical hacker is given full knowledge of the target environment before testing begins. In this scenario, Maria received network diagrams, source code of security tools, and IP addressing information - all internal, privileged details. This level of disclosure is the defining characteristic of white box testing. Black box testing provides zero prior knowledge (simulating an outside attacker). Gray box testing provides partial knowledge. Alpha testing is a software QA phase, not a penetration testing methodology.
