Vulnerability scanning and penetration testing serve different but complementary roles in cybersecurity. Scanning identifies known vulnerabilities across a broad network automatically and frequently, while penetration testing involves expert-driven, targeted attacks to exploit weaknesses. Each has unique costs, scopes, and risks. Together, they form a strong defense by helping organizations detect and remediate threats effectively. Training and skilled use of these tools maximize security posture and reduce costly troubleshooting.

This wiper deletes files tied to popular Japanese software and uses sophisticated anti-debugging techniques to avoid sandbox detection.
