How can community help?
We’re going to be putting up some information soon on the site so that the community can get involved. Right now we’re hoping to spur discussions…
Looks like a good start at documenting penetration testing from a consultant’s perspective.
You mention you’re not looking to document which nmap options to run, and i noticed there’s no mention of specific tools. I’m certainly pleased it’s remaining vendor / tool-agnostic, but the current abstraction level leaves it fairly abstract.
As with any standard, generality (“here’s what to do”) and practicality (“here’s how to do it”) is a tough balance. What’s the ultimate goal for this?
You’re right that it’s going to be a tricky balance, and I’m sure we’ll have to play with it for a while before we get the right balance.
The main goal is the get the business and the testers on the same page! Right now there’s so much terminology that it’s hard to really tell what sort of test you’re getting… ans with that, what quality!
If we go down the avenue of listing techniques and tools, then we have to be careful not to date things. It’s something that we’ll need to play with to give valid examples that help define the requirements without limiting the tester or quickly becoming outdated.
It’s a long road ahead! Hope you’ll agree to help…
