Core is a cool product as are Metasploit and Canvas, though I don't feel that
any of them would replace a manual Pen Test, though they will complement one
and indeed speed one up. Perhaps the client could use an exploitation engine
prior to employing Pen Testers to remove the low hanging fruit, forcing the Pen
Testers to think outside the box in order to demonstrate their Leetness and
attract repeat business.

I use Core Impact and I have to say... it is a tool and a good one. But itcamp=701600000008bOW
won't exploit every possible vulnerabilities. Sometimes you can reach root
access thru escalation, which is the coolest way of all.
Myself and my collegue once found a backup script that divulged the root
password... the script was found via a anonymous FTP server :-) (And this was
in a Scada environment)
Core impact won't do that for you! Catch my drift?

Subject: Core Impact Vs Manual Pen Test
Dear Members,
I've been doing Pen test for a quite while. I have used both Open source and
Commercial tools for the activity. Now because of automated tools such as
core Impact, Canvas, Qualys most of the clients are coming up with the
Question of Whether to go fo Core Impact or hire some consultants to do the
activity. These clients are not worried bout paying huge money to buy these
tools.
Since I have not used Core Impact, I cant figure out the differences. I
believe you guys can help me out.
Any comments appreciated.
Regds,
J
