If you have tools, documentation or a template for considerations I'd be grateful. This will be part of an overall risk/vulnerability audit, which I have no problems with.
A lot of consultants, auditors, and companies that make scanner software, would consider that to be incredibly valuable intellectual property. Don't be surprised if you don't get a lot of information. An interesting side-effect of the huge market for computer security products and services is that it's served to *increase* the secretiveness of security experts. Unfortunately, what we really need to be doing is the opposite - sharing information. But, in a lot of cases, it's hard to expect one to do otherwise because there's a lot of money at stake. It'll be interesting to see if anyone provides any information to the list. [Moderator's note: I WILL suppress "me too" postings in this thread] mjr. ----- Marcus J.
