Hi2all, There are two problems in educating a client: 1. Does he want/allow to be educated? does he have an open mind? 2. Who is educating? does it have education him self? This two problems can conduct to a 3rd, that is, how much time is available for the education issue? Are classes included? This probably can end in one point: are we testing the computers or the people who are working with those computers? i suppose both areas can't be left out. Does scanners and sniffers capture the brain of a sysadmin? Like, try to do a penetration test just by, anyhow, put that sysadmin crazy in a way that, no mather how good he is, he will start to make mistakes (killing his golden fish and poisoning his white cat *are* options). Mom's question: in pen-testing (= legal, ethical and polite tests) who works that way? you can be sure that there are hackers that work that way... Doesn't matter who i'm or what i do, just think a little (also) about this ...My only elite skillz are about pizzas. Now, think again in what i said. A pen-test is not an end, is just a beginning of an never ending job.
