Subject: Pen Testing / IT Auditor Skills


Hello,

  I've almost out of college, graduating soon with a
B.S in Computer Information Systems.  I attended a
conference about IT Auditors and Penetration Testing
and I was very interested.  I know there are industry
standard tools and procedures for analyzing and
securing a customer's assets.

  My question:

  What are these tools?
  What would your recommend the best way to get into
this career line?

Thanks a bunch.
