Be aware that there is a difference between a penetration test and a
network vulnerability assessment. Rapid 7 does both penetration tests
and network vulnerability assessments as well as provides a product
for doing your own vulnerability assessments. Nessus is a product for
doing network vulnerability assessments.

I'm new to the list so please bare with me. I would however like
some advice on the following issue. An audit request has prompted us to
investigate network pen testing. We are looking at the following
options.

1. Outside vendors such as Network Armor, and Rapid 7. Have any of
you used these and if so, which one, and were you satisfied?

2. We have Nessus, but as I'm sure you guys know the reporting is
awful. Do any of you know if anyone has written a good program to help
out with this situation?
