Basically, one should assemble a scoping worksheet based on the underlying
goal of the engagement

1. With Prior knowledge
2. No Prior Knowledge

Curious what a penetration test would cost.  Since the scope can be quite
different in each perception, I'll try to define the test:

An Internet site with 3 URLs, one of which is secured by password access,
to prevent private banking information from becoming public.  There are 3
servers, all of which are secured via firewalls.  All are running Windows
NT ver.5.  We need an assurrance that the site is relatively
hackerproof;  we would prefer to know that it is nearly impossible to
hack, but I know that will never be possible.  We are interested in
protecting a regulated banking environment.

Any more info needed, please ask.
