    Hi all;

    Not to cast any dispersions on anything, but IMHO, the FFIEC guidelines are pretty
    lame. They're OK for "management and operational" type reviews, but they just don't
    cut it for technical work. I'd look to a more solid technical standard, like
    nsa.gov, nist.gov, or OSSTMM Ver. 2. Those are the things that I use for (almost
    exclusively) banks. We've developed custom testing programs using these as
    standards.

Hacking is a good mixture of technical knowledge, programming knowhow and misuse of
trust.
