Greetings List,
I am interested in collecting ideas as to what people feel an ideal
penetration test is. What does the ideal methodology look like and
what are the goals? I am asking you this because I have been running
into interesting issues in certain markets. It would appear that some
people view penetration tests as nothing more then basic network
vulnerability audits while others view a penetration test for what it
is, a test designed to compromise target systems as PoC of
vulnerability.
How do people feel about the use of automated tools and the weights
of their results? What about manual or custom testing? We have our
own methodology that we use for testing our client networks, but I am
always interested in learning what else might be done. I'd be happy
to engage anyone in a conversation about this subject.
Regards,
