licensed penetration tester is the way I read it. But I am not sure what the licencing authority would be. Not that I am the last word on the subject.... I need to finish something right now, but I will take a closer look at their verbage later. Put it this way -- the penetration testers I know aren't licensed and would find the idea funny, I suspect. You do have to be careful to stay on the right side of the law but usually this is done but getting client approval in writing before you do anything. On the third hand I just asked someone else about this and she said a local company advertises the credential....
