Re: Pen Test vendors

["Peterman, Martin (mdp4s)" <mdp4s () VIRGINIA EDU>]

Hey Randy,

How is Florida?

I am looking to build my network skills and would like to observe a penetration test, i.e., be with the tester while it 
is going on.  Do you know anyone who would be willing to do that with me?

Thanks much,
Marty
