A penetration tester or ethical hacker is a type of security consultant that tries to find and exploit vulnerabilities/misconfigurations in order to break into computer systems and software. They then document the identified security issues and prioritize the order with which they should be fixed along with providing detailed explanations of how to fix these identified security issues.
