Our primary use case for Offensive Security Penetration Testing Services is the vulnerability database.  Compared to Rapid7, Offensive Security might have more support on the back end in relation to exploits for Metasploit, for example. Offensive Security owns Metasploit and maintains it, which is…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Offensive Security Penetration Testing Services is open source, so it is free and there are no licensing costs."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. This is not a tool that you have to set up yourself. All you have to do is just access their web-based vulnerability database application, which is open source and available to pretty much anyone."
 

Cons

"Offensive Security Penetration Testing Services has a rating system for how exploitable vulnerability is, but that rating system does not really give you any transparency into how the rating for that exploit was reached. It would be useful to see on the back end what data led them to specify that a specific exploit may not be very good or may be great."
"A useful improvement would be to have white papers for specific vulnerabilities readily available. It seems like they are not always linked when you are looking for a vulnerability identifier in the database."
