"Why do we need a security testing methodology? And why open source?
"Without a security testing methodology, the actual test tends to be all over the place. One tester actually described this once to me as his test being "a mess" without it. The real answer is that a methodology is required to test anything thoroughly. As humans, we take short-cuts. We assume we know an answer or we know what's going on because of past experiences and we cut to the chase because time is money and all that. However, when that happens, we leave many unverified (unanswered) questions and report our assumptions as if they were facts. A good security methodology does not let you do that..."
