Hey folks, I wanted to bounce a question off the list (for my own personal gratification) today. The last several months I have come across some companies which seem to be commercially developing applications for actually breaking into machines/networks, think scanners which actually go *all* the way for you. These tools I suspect will be commercially supported items for sale to governments and consulting agencies. My questions are: 1. As pen testers would you buy a tool like this provided it worked and worked well? 2. Do you think this idea will fly when it's brought to market? 3. Does this bother anyone on a moral level? I would prefer people reply directly to me as I am not performing this as gratis market research I am simply curious as to what you folks think.
