WebApp Sec: Defining scope of web application pentest

Defining scope of web application pentest

From: Vishal Garg <vishal_at_firstbase.co.uk>

Hi,

Can anyone please tell what needs to be considered while defining the
scope of a web application penetration test. Here I am concerned only
about the web application and the web server that would exclude every
other bit related to the infrastructure (such as firewall or a proxy
etc). Also how do we calculate the effort required to test a web
application. The things which I think may be considered are the
number of static and dynamic pages and types of users involved etc.
But what else can be considered?

Any inputs would be highly appreciated.

Cheers
Vishal
