I've always wondered about this, I do not know why. But just the
different ways that pen-testers get their exploits/vullnerabilities. I
think it would go something like this:
50% From online security sites
25% Find their own
25% From their friends

Have I left any out? If so, go ahead and add it, this is just about
what I think it would be. This has always interesting me for some
reason.

See ya

Hi

"25% find their own" does that mean they search arbitrarily? And/or does it mean making their own? Anyways, if your point was ment for the latter description, then I think the list is rational! I mean how else someone would obtain an exploit if it was not from a database/site, or making their own, or receiving it from someone?!
