At Freeserve, we had a company over from the States to provide such a

service. This guy arrived with a bald faced youth - "We're basically keeping

him out of jail." When asked who the kid was, what he could do, what his

approach would be to testing the site's security (simulated attacks..? or

real..?), the geezer would provide no information, and was quite offended

when told we wouldn't pay for a totally unknown quantity... There was a

brief stalemate.
