   But your skills relate to the time you need to do the
   test. I rather decline a pen-test if I see that I cannot
   do the job in a reasonable time. Knowledge and efficient
   deployment of knowledge are skills.
   How much time will it take if you do not have a clue what
   to do, if you have no idea what the results of your tests
   mean? Do you really think you can sell that to the customer
   without profit loss?

   Cheers,

   Chris.
