Presented at SANS Pen Test Summit 2010 by
A studied examination of the human condition in penetration testing Abstract: Many people claim to be penetration testers, yet most are no better than an automated scanning tool. So what is it that makes someone a penetration tester? What is it that makes one pen tester better than the next? In this very lively presentation, we'll talk about the role of humans in penetration testing and the question of whether or not penetration testing can be learned or taught. We'll discuss what makes a pen tester and also what separates the good from the bad from average. And finally we'll talk about why the best penetration testers are exponentially, ridiculously better than the rest of us.
