Blind Test in Penetration Testing: The pentest method in which security professionals simulate an actual attack on a system, with limited information provided about the target beforehand. This approach is designed to mimic the real-world tactics and techniques of potential attackers, who typically have no inside information. It allows organizations to get a realistic understanding of their security vulnerabilities and how well their detection and response mechanisms perform under such conditions.
