hello all!

now i'm still wait to start an internal penetration test in a bank .. they
have a lot of servers.. HP Ux, Win, Sun, Linux , etc. and now they are
using ISS (scanner) to find vulnerabilitys and then they make a remedation
with some scripts and other comercial tools... so..
now they need help becouse the ISS scanner every time that are running found
the same vulnerabilitys after patchs the servers. I told them that is really
importan to use some other diferents scanners and make an penetration test
to review if the vulnerabilities are really risk for the bussines!!.. and
they don`t accept it ..

buy they need it.. need to make a remediation of all the vulnerabilities in
all the 4000 servers!

so.. they ask for a pent test for only 20 servers.. and i don`t know how can
i select the number of servers that i need to test to be sure that all the
rest of the servers have the same vulnerabilitis!!.. ?

and what kind of tools can i use to make that!?

i never been in that kind of penetration test :(..

i think to use Core Ipact!

any sugestions?

regards

noe
