>> Can anyone point me to other standards for penetration testing?

ISACA (Information Systems Audit and Control Association)
released this month an exposure draft:

"IS AUDITING PROCEDURE PENETRATION TESTING AND VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS
DOCUMENT"
This material was issued on 1 February 2004. Exposure period closes 31 March
2004.

I suppose it's not yet publicy available (just for ISACA members review);
but it could be in the near future...
