Ok, ok, so i used the verb in the wrong way :).
I was just amazed at "should be considered". I myself still try it from
time to time, but in this part of the world (yeah, i know Romania has a
bad reputation) it seldom works.
So, let's stick to the matter at hand: i agree, it should be part of a
standard pen-test if there are no specific laws against using it even in
test conditions.
Cheers,
