I think this gives a good visual representation of the use of many
tools. I don't necessarily think introducing new students to all the
tools is the best way to formalize them into the art of penetration
testing.

Are you stressing of equal importance to the new pentester the value of
asking the right questions so they can use the right tools? Or is the
goal to have things as repeatable as possible or other...?

Outside of philosophy, I had just a few notes to add while I can:

Port 80/http services
        - add httprint.
Terminal Services/3389
        - add TSGrinder
        http://www.blackhat.com/presentations/bh-u...s-03-mullen.pdf
        tsgrinder-2.03
SSH
        - add scanssh
        - also add review of hostkey files, for each user on the machine
to see what other machines the end user connects to.

Also, I didn't see anything for microsoft sql servers in your list, nor
did I see the the viewing of web applications or anything for mysql.

I would also add in a section for every web application server along
with default usernames and configurations to check out for each
application server.

I saw allot of items for automated sql scanners, but did not see any
proxy tools , or documentation to guide the pentester into the strange
waters of web application testing.

You could also add once gain some level of access to a computer to do
x,y,z (checking permissions etc).
