Abstract: This paper presents a novel approach to support the pre-engagement phase of penetration testing, where testing tasks are assigned to penetration testers based on their knowledge and experience to ensure the most appropriate selection. To apply and verify our approach, we developed an automated tool that uses optimization algorithms for the task assignment process. Experimental testing shows that the application of algorithms based on optimization problems in the first phase of penetration testing could be a way to increase its effectiveness.
