In 2017, Rapid7 launched the “Under the Hoodie” project to shed light on the “dark art” of pen testing by revealing the process, techniques, and tools that go into it, as well as the insights that can be extracted. The 2019 Under the Hoodie report continues to provide visibility into this often occult niche of information security. Based on the results of about 180 engagements conducted in the most recent season of penetration testing, as well as real-world anecdotes from our engineers and investigators, our research explores recent trends and patterns derived from penetration testing.
