                (Speaking as himself.) 

     Abstract:  Penetration Testing, Ethical Attacks, Simulated Hacks,
                Practical Vulnerability Audit, Authorised Hacking...
                These are all terms which can describe the subject of
                this presentation. 

                This talk will provide a high level, basic introduction
                into the world of Pen. Testing.  This will start with the
                obvious "What is pen.  testing" and work through to a
                "laundry list of tools" which can be used to perform such
                tests.  

                The good thing about penetration testing today is it can
                be done on a budget, using Free, Open-Source tools on either
                *nix or Windows.  The list of tools available is nearly
                endless, however we will endevor to cover a few of the
                most common (and hopefully most usefull) tools. This is
                based upon the presenters experience pen. testing a number
                of environments, but with a focus on the Web / e-Commerce
                space.
                
     Level:     Basic

     Style:     Informal

     Topic:     Pen Testing (Hacking for profit?) - Hopefully interesting

     Examples:  Ask the fickle windows box if its willing to play.  :)
