Re: Pentest Criteria

[Wim Remes <wremes () gmail com>]

Pete,

with all due respect but don't you think you have abused the open source predicament long enough for something that 
will never be open nor free?
I know companies that got involved with v2, that invested in getting resources trained in v3, or the subset of it that 
was available at the moment of the trianing, and now have the 
outlook that they'll be pointing their customers to another ISO standard instead of an open source standard and. 

At the moment OSSTMM 3 does nothing but frustrate the heck out of people who invested time in either v2 or v3 based on 
idealism and empty promises.

Cheers,
Wim

Prove to peers and potential employers without a doubt that you can actually do a proper penetration test. IACRB CPT 
and CEPT certs require a full practical examination in order to become certified.
