VA vs PT tool

[SimonChan () lifeisgreat com sg]

Hi fw-wiz,

i posted some time on the list a couple of months back for some
recommendations on a good VA tool.

The bulk of the responses pointed to ISS, NetRecon and Vigilante.

However, a VA tool is limited, in that it only stops at the vulnerability.

I'm looking at a Pen Test tool that not only does the VA functionality but
also exploit the vulnerability thus
defining it as a real THREAT and not just a vulnerability.

Is there a widely accepted tool on the market right now ?
