Feature Ratings Average rating of all product features, some of which may not be shown below

Exploits Simulates the exploits that will likely be implemented once the system is penetrated.

Diversity of Tools Penetration testing software often come in a suite of individual tools, each designed to penetrate different aspects of a system.

Payload Transport The penetration software should mimic hackers' ability to gain unauthorized access in order to drop harmful payload (e.g. malicious code) onto a target system.

Maintaining Access Maintaining persistent access to the application or system with the rationale being, the longer a hacker has access to a system, the more damage they can do.

Host Target Scanning Ability to scan across a defined spectrum, including port numbers, protocols, IP address ranges, etc.​

Countermeasures Circumvention The pen testing tool should perform like a hacker employing techniques to circumvent countermeasures aimed to prevent a security risk.

Multi Faceted Testing Penetration testing tools should have the ability to test a wide range of platforms, systems and applications.

Reconnaissance Analysis of the target system to gather information order to assess its susceptibility to attack, and to plan for the attack strategy.

Automation Able to automate regressive testing and perform repeat tasks in a very rapid fashion (as fast as the target system’s hardware will allow).​

Reporting Reporting of both strengths and vulnerabilities of the target system.

Crawling Once a system has been penetrated, crawling should occur to determine how far unauthorized access has extended.

Vendor Capability Ratings Average rating of all vendor capabilities, some of which may not be shown below
