I use Core Impact and I have to say... it is a tool and a good one. But it
won't exploit every possible vulnerabilities. Sometimes you can reach root
access thru escalation, which is the coolest way of all.
Myself and my collegue once found a backup script that divulged the root
password... the script was found via a anonymous FTP server :-) (And this was
in a Scada environment)
Core impact won't do that for you! Catch my drift?

Subject: Core Impact Vs Manual Pen Test
Dear Members,
I've been doing Pen test for a quite while. I have used both Open source and
Commercial tools for the activity. Now because of automated tools such as core
Impact, Canvas, Qualys most of the clients are coming up with the Question of
Whether to go fo Core Impact or hire some consultants to do the activity. These
clients are not worried bout paying huge money to buy these tools.
Since I have not used Core Impact, I cant figure out the differences. I believe
you guys can help me out.
Any comments appreciated.
Regds,
J
