For example, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard requires penetration testing on a regular schedule, and after system changes. [11] Penetration testing also can support risk assessments as outlined in the NIST Risk Management Framework SP 800-53. [12] Several standard frameworks and methodologies exist for conducting penetration tests.

Part of the power of this distribution comes from its Launchpad repository core, constantly updated to the latest stable version of the most known and used ethical hacking tools. The integration and development of new tools in the distribution follows the open source community, particularly the Debian Free Software Guidelines criteria.
As a dynamic testing tool, web scanners are not language-dependent. A web application scanner is able to scan engine-driven web applications. Attackers use the same tools, so if the tools can find a vulnerability, so can attackers. [4]
