Its better they know they are susceptable to DoS in a penetration test vs. when their site is offline for hours/days 
when a botnet comes a knocking.



I don't know, I take that statement as kinda a DUH! There are few if any sites that are not susceptable to DoS. And there are few if any sites that have a real, full, replicated mirror of their network in place to do an exact test of their production setup.




Thanks,
