• - and it seems that a flame war erupted. Thank you for discontinuing the thread.

Before its done though, I would like to state that it is instructive to hear other people's points of view as far as products for pen-testing (that is what we're here for right? PEN-TESTING?) so that I can make an informed choice. I don't personally care if the person is using a REAL email address or a REAL name or not - it quickly becomes apparent when someone is touting their own product or taking pot shots at competitors - I think I can tell the difference.

My point is this - why is it important for you or anyone to attempt to shield me from these things? IMHO, this same sort of administrivia led to the downfall of bugtraq's credibility - not so full disclosure... but I digress.

There are a number of tools, methodologies, and technologies pertaining to the craft and I think it is valuable to see all sides.

Thanks for your work and your good intentions,

Do you need help?
