Chris,
Skills do not relate to the time you need to do the test.
Pen Test means "Try to get in and tell me what you can reach".
When you perform a pen test you must define:
- Targets
- (reasonably) goals
- Timeframe within achieve these goals
- Areas of the test (Internet, X.25, PSTN, Wi-fi/Bluetooth etc.): if
you define these, you are probably limiting the "vision" of the test
and the achievement of your goals
You have to achieve these goals within a given timeframe.
In this scenario, skills relate to the goals you reach.
Not talking about VA or similar, but Pen Test.
I wouldn't you mean, for Pen Test, only activities of VA where you
exploit the vulnerability founded without further actions (these i
call POC)

Hello all, :)
I totally agree with carnevali davide, he's absolutely
right because pen-test pricing is based on man hours
put in for the work, not the goals or skills.
But your skills relate to the time you need to do the
test. I rather decline a pen-test if I see that I cannot
do the job in a reasonable time. Knowledge and efficient
deployment of knowledge are skills.
How much time will it take if you do not have a clue what
to do, if you have no idea what the results of your tests
mean? Do you really think you can sell that to the customer
without profit loss?
Cheers,
Chris.
