Re: Pen-test pricing

Andre,

That's a question with many answers. We do it on a per server basis, as 
well as a per "network" basis (multiple servers). Per server basis is 
averages US$ 10,000 and per network is dependent on how complex the network 
is, how many servers, number of IPs, etc. Can range from US$ 15,000 to US$ 
100,000.

In our case we've partnered up with a US company to perform pen-tests. We 
our selves just do the ground work, reconnaissance type work. In case you 
want to know our referral fees is about 25% of what's quoted (which is 
inclusive of the ground/reconnaissance work we do).

Per hour based pricing model is also very popular amongst consultants 
(isn't it always! :) )

Hope that helps.

Faisal
