Re: LAN pen test

[Jerome Athias <jerome.athias () free fr>]

Hi,

i see many people in these lists asking about "how to do this or that?" 
related to a pentest
i would like to remember that the position of pentester is a fulltime 
job (very technical), and so that there are sometimes things that you 
won't do as "perfectly" as a professionnal/expert, and that sometimes 
you will spend more time trying to do something or learning something 
(time and money consumming) than by calling a pentester to do the job 
for you...

btw i'm not a security professionnal

/JA
