Penetration Testing: RE: Pentesting tool - Commercial

["Clint P. Garrison" <garrison.clint () gmail com>]

Thanks for chiming in Pete. Your absolutely right. It's insulting when
people with hidden agendas inject their marketing materials as "feedback" or
"news" in this forum.

I'd like to add as a person not actually selling products or having any 
commercial ties to any software tool maker that Ivan is correct here. 
There are so many important variables to how a tool should work that 
judging on numbers alone of something that has no clear standard for how it 
should be counted is just ignorant.
