Pentera Unleashed

🐯Interesting Tech Fact:

Long before modern AI-driven platforms like Pentera, one of the earliest penetration testing tools was born from a Cold War project known as Tiger Teams in the 1960s. These elite government groups were tasked with legally hacking U.S. military and aerospace systems to uncover vulnerabilities before adversaries could exploit them. Their experiments led to the creation of primitive “penetration scripts,” often run on mainframes, which laid the groundwork for automated security testing decades later. Few know that the term “red team” itself originated from these early exercises, where one group (the “red”) acted as the simulated enemy and the other (the “blue”) defended. This legacy of simulated intrusion became the conceptual ancestor of today’s sophisticated AI penetration testing tools, proving that even half a century ago, security was already learning to think like its own attacker.
