This might sound silly but we are trying to expand into the PENTEST
area, a lillte more deeper..So we reached price issue.

Is there any agreed range of price to charge for PENTESTS according
to Operating Systems and/or network equipment?

Any resource I can read about?

Many thanks in advance,

  My initial question was attempting to solicit an opinion from
you, the experts.  Disregarding for a minute the hardware on
either side of the wire and whether all traffic should be
encrypted questions but focusing in on just the physical wire
security.  You have been approached by one of your clients who is
building a datacenter.  They are asking your opinion on how they
should wire it to provide the best security against
penetration.  Which
method would you recommend?  Are you a wire walker or a wire
hider?  And why?


I suppose I am a wire hider.  I think a nice steel conduit is a heck
of a lot better than any other solution Ive heard.  And get this
twist I've heard about:  presurizing the conduit.  Charge that pipe
up with an inert gas, and if the conduit is broken, for any reason,
an alarm is generated.  I can't think of a more secure way to
protect my cables, can you?

There are some other solutions out there: for example the NSA/DOD
approved
Cylink Corporation product that puts a fiberoptic wire across the
cable
pipe.  When the pipe is knocked too hard or cut into, the vibration
is
detected by the FO wire and an alarm sounds.  Similar to Drew's
pressurization suggestion above.  The alarms can be set to ignore
vibrations up to a certain level so as not to create too many false
alarms.  This is a great solution for situations where you are
running wire
under ground between buildings on a business campus.
