I attended a security conference recently and some of the guys there had a
speech about "PTES" which means "Penetration Testing Execution Standard".
They want to establish another kind of methodology for penetration testing,
since they realized that there is quite a lot of confusion and a lack of
good standards in this area (my interpretation).

They're building this thing right now and generally appreciate feedback on
this. You can find PTES here:

Could be interesting to you.
