Re: Cross testing exploit with vulnerability scan results

I've been conducting pen tests since 4 yrs now... the methodology I
follow is that we exploit or attempt to exploit ONLY those
vulnerabilities that a vulnerability scanner identifies.

your not a pentester... your a vulnerability scanner kiddi...
nothing more, nothing less.

Nearly 100% of my successfull pentest were
from flaws not uncovered by a vuln scan, found
by manual techniques.

cheers!
