I have a question regarding the use of exploit repositories (including
projects like Metaploit, and compliations on bootable distros like Whoppix).
With all of the large exploit repositories used to make pen testing faster
and easier, what methods do you use to ensure you've done your due diligence in not unleashing something actually harmful on your clients? I have my own thoughts, such as googling and superficial|deep code reviews, but ultimately
my concern is over the malcious hiding of intentions.  Thanks for any
insights and suggestions.
