Subject: RE: Has anyone heard of this?
I used to know several companies that did "ethical hacking" as a
consulting service for companies who wanted reports on how good their
security setup was. They did everything from brute force to social
engineering. The funny thing was that they used the same tools that are
publicly available (nmap, snort, etc.).

Fee for fixing television: $100
Itemized list: hitting the television: $1
knowing where to hit: $99
Same thing. I have the same tools a professional mechanic uses most.
He knows better HOW to use them, on what,... Same thing.
