Dear all, I have been reading with interest this list for a few weeks. Is there anything special that a customer should look for when choosing a pen tester? e.g., are there any certifications, associations, government agency that guarantee the pen-tester won't use the information learned to harm the network? Should the customer specify what is allowed and what is not allowed, or give the pen-tester a free hand to do his work? how about international agreements? Are there any websites recommending and rating pen-testers? Basically, what should a client do protect himself when asking a pen-tester to break in to his network. Thanks for your answers and apologies in advance if this is entirely unsuitable for the list. I am only asking because I have not seen this discussed, so I am a bit unsure as to how appropriate the question is. Regards, Ershad.
