List members,

While the 'pentester convicted' thread has generated a *lot* of response
and interesting discussion, don't be surprised if I reject posts on it
going forward. This is not a blanket rejection of all future posts on the
thread as I do think that some of the discussion is relevant and within
the list charter. However, at the same time I can't let it devolve into
ethical or morality debates, legal verbiage, and flamefests. If your post
on this thread is rejected it's not personal, I just didn't see the
immediate relevance to the focus of the pen-test list.

If you wish to discuss the methodology used and the pros/cons surrounding how it all went down that's fine and dandy :)

Please be aware of the pen-test list charter which can be found at
http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/101/description. Though I have been
the list moderator for a little over a year now, pen-test is still owned
by Al Huger and the fine folks at SecurityFocus. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or flames feel free to email me directly.

It would expect to see this on dcstuff where it belongs. IMHO the only thing that belongs here is technical information directly related to pen testing along with the practices associated with it.
