Hi all,
I totally agree with Todd with his definition of pen-testing (Pen-test is
like controlled hacking...), but when he says that there's no "exactly how
to do it manual", i would say that's not 100% correct. Have your ever
heard about OSSTMM?. This is the Open Source Security Testing Methodology
Manual, and is not a "how to do manual" but is a good guideline to perform
correctly a security test.
I recommend you to take a look at http://isecom.org and to the OSSTMM
See you

To learn how Internet Security Systems keeps organizations ahead of the threat with preemptive intrusion prevention, download the new whitepaper, Defining the Rules of Preemptive Protection, and end your reliance on reactive security technology.
