How long is a piece of string? Doing a blind test from the outside doesn't really test much. Perhaps the skills of the tester within the allowed time limit and targets monetary budget for security. Proper attack can take several month. What about trojans? Are they allowed to email those? Perhaps mail-order some USB keys ;) into the the targets office ;) All through the internet. I think that this scenario is really at a mercy of factors such as: Amount of application the target makes available for public access. Type of applications publicly accessible. I don't think this is something that could be easily quantified. Just my sad AUD$0.2 :( Serg On 30/08/2007, James Kelly <macubergeek@comcast.net> wrote:

Of internal hosts on private network? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This list is sponsored by: Cenzic Need to secure your web apps NOW?
