Hi All
Curious to hear other views, where does the legal and illegal line stand
in doing a pen test on a third party company?
Does it start at the IP Address/Port Scanning Stage or after say once
access is gained?? very vague I know
I'm also curious to hear from other external/3rd party pen-test
consultants, how they have managed to solve the problem
Where they approach a client who is convinced they have security, and
yet there is classic signs that they don't?
You know that if you did a simple pen-test you would have the evidence
to prove your point all would be mute
But from my current point that would be illegal, even if no access was
gained. (maybe I'm wrong) ??
Perhaps this is just a problem here where I am or perhaps it exists
elsewhere also?
I look forward to your input
Barry
