Thank you for the
Thank you for the definitions for each of these. Unfortunately still today, there are as many definitions as there are security consultants. As my background is in fuzzing, I do not really agree with these definitions. If we do an assessment, we run tools (our own fuzzers, and other available fuzzers and non-fuzzers from other companies) to mostly find unknown vulnerabilities. We can find known issues also, but that is not the purpose of the assessment. This in most cases is an "audit" (or assessment, or test, or review) against a carefully designed test specification, sometimes dictated by the industry and in almost every case pre-run in similar form by an another party. Often this is part of a certification process. And yes, the tools are very similar to what a hacker would use in what you call "penetration test".
