Defending the honor of...penetration testing tools

So as you can see below, I'll be at RSA asking Andrew Jaquith why on earth he thinks penetration testing tools are evil. To be honest, I have no idea. Does that also imply penetration testing is evil, or is he saying that penetration testing tools make people lazy and therefor you get better penetration tests without them, in which case I'll try to get him to write his future papers without a keyboard or something. Speaking of penetration testing tools - Immunity is hiring CANVAS developers here in Miami Beach. If you want to work on CANVAS and you speak both assembly language and Python and have a passion for building awesome tools that let people break into systems (some of which we make public!), then send me an email. We're also hiring an experienced Django web developer. You do also have to be legal to work here in Miami or Washington DC for these positions. -dave https://ae.rsaconference.com/US13/connect/sessionDetail.ww?SESSION_ID=3297&tclass=popup#.URp4m2gUwM0.twitter MASH-T16 - Debate: Internet GUN CONTROL - Are Pentesting Tools Good or Evil?

These tools allow any user to assess the vulnerable state of their IT platforms. Some say that they are useful while others assert they are detrimental for the overall health of the Internet. Come hear the debate and weigh in with your own opinions. -- INFILTRATE - the world's best offensive information security conference. April 2013 in Miami Beach www.infiltratecon.com
