During the planning phase of a penetration testing engagement, you identify assets that are managed within the client’s corporate network and are not exposed to the public internet. What type of targets are these?
Internal targets refer to assets that are located within an organization's internal network and typically are not accessible from the public internet. These can include workstations, internal servers, and databases that are essential for day-to-day operations. Understanding what constitutes an internal target helps define the scope of an engagement and influences the testing methodology to be employed.
