This is an application, not an awarded patent. Please check wikipedia for more information on the patentation process.

CORE SDI INC = Core Security Technologies -> coresecurity.com
They aren’t patenting penetration test, rather than a particular instance (SYSTEM and METHOD) for performing it.

You think you know bizarre? I deal with this stuff on a daily basis. I know this guy lives in a bedroom lined with foil and wears a metal spaghetti strainer on his head.

Comment on NIST 800 series gaining traction as industry standard by Brandon Dunlap

Brandon Dunlap — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 20:01:00 +0000

Steve-

I completely agree. I too have used elements of the NIST 800 series in many of the organizations I have worked in. Of course, my first reason for ever using it was because of the price.

The only gripe (if you can call it that) is that to follow the risk management and controls guidance seems to generate a mountain of documentation. In more than one instance, I had to assign dedicated resources to drafting everything up. Once it was all up, however, it became just a matter of updating/refreshing on a periodic basis.

Comment on Bypassing windows login – the easy way by Fred

I was still feeling OK until I got to “I did some followup testing on this and found that when there are encrypted files using the EFS feature, and a password is set on the user account, you can use the technique I described to bypass the password and you can STILL GET ACCESS to the encrypted files!”
So now I guess we need to insure that laptops are truly just an access device with NO data stored locally
