I'd really like some input regarding penetration tests. Internal and External. If you have tools, documentation or a template for considerations
For tools, look at the Bugtraq archives, and Phrack. Go to your favorite Web *and* FTP search engines, and search on some of the words and packages therein. You'll eventually come by some sites that have a load of attack tools. Expect to spend a day to a day and a half to get a good collection of the harder to find stuff. Hobbit's netcat is also a good tool for scripting tests. I've yet to see a good packet generator for testing FO=1 TCP packets and things like that however. The alternative is to purchase the commercial scanners, which may or may not be what you're looking for.
