There’s no doubt that penetration testing is a highly practical job. To become a professional pentester, you must not only have background knowledge of computer sciences, networking and programming, but also know the pentesting methodologies and, of course, how to actually perform tests on a various range of systems, applications, networks, WiFi, etc.
One important part of the penetration testing process is the reporting phase. A professional penetration tester knows how to redact thorough pentest reports in words that both technical teams and C-level execs can understand, as he will most definitely be judged on the quality of this report.
