Re: pen test

Marty,

absolutely not, this is called hacking. Pen testing is actively exploiting a server, identifying a weakness exploiting 
gaining access. Are you talking about scanning ports? Could you provide a little more detail. If you mean pen-testing, 
then the answer is no.

Cheers

Am I able to pen test or run a vulnerability assessment on my web hosting company. I got the idea after reading this 
article. http://www.securitypark.co.uk/Security_article.asp?articleid=260173
