Hello list members, at the moment, i'm writing my diploma thesis in the field of penetration testing. i wonder if there exist some 'official' definitions about the different types of tests one can do. i know that every pen-tester/company has his own definitions of what they call a "penetration test", "security assessment", "security review", "security audit", "application audit" etc... but are there some standards that define the different types of security tests? i had a look at ISSAF and OSSTMM, but neither come up with definitions of tests...
