I totally agree with him.

Providing a short time solution is a good idea but you have to finish the
job properly which in the case of a pen-tester would be report and provide
with a viable (permanent) solution.

I also agree partially with Sam, specially windows systems, after hacked it
is a MUCH BETTER idea to rebuild it improving the security of course.


Well, PROPERLY DESIGNED of course if almost impossible, but you think
this is the case? I repeat myself: he's wishing to stop the attacks, and
of course I think/hope he'll take the appropriate measures then. IMHO he
wouldn't be able to fix anything if he is constantly under attack. And
sure, linux is the best solution, even a win port of apache will do
better than IIS, again IMHO. Again, SQL injection could result in a host
compromise, so re-deploying would be the optimal form: ex. instead of
finding rookits, install clean.
