I thought folks on this list would be interested in a four-part
"Secure Strategies" series we published on testing, assessment and
audit. The articles are purposefully written for newbies, though
there's some good refresher info there for everyone else. The series
started in our July issue and runs through October:

July 2000: Overview article on the differences between vuln.
assessment, penetration testing and audit, written by Ira Winkler:
http://www.infosecuritymag.com/july2000/audits.htm

August 2000: In-depth article on vulnerability assessment tools,
written by Al Berg:
http://www.infosecuritymag.com/aug2000/securestrategies.htm

Sept. 2000: article on penetration testing, written by George Kurtz
and Chris Prosise:
http://www.infosecuritymag.com/sep2000/securestrategies.htm

The October article on IS audit, written by Dan Swanson, will be out
in print and up on the Web site in two weeks.

Comments on these articles are encouraged.

Andy
