The Common Methodology for Information Technology Security Evaluation, Vulnerability Analysis and Penetration Testing document is a draft of Common Criteria Method for formal Evaluation. I don't know how many people reading the lists have any involvement in formal Evaluation, but I doubt it is very many. This isn't really Penetration Testing as the majority of people on these lists understand it. Unless someone works for an Evaluation Facility, then they aren't likely to have come across this or have the background knowledge to put the document into context. There is some good stuff in there if you need to develop a formal method for Penetration Testing, but it isn't an easy read. This entire process is still under review, and probably won't be finalised until late 2003/early 2004. EDS CLEF are involved in reviewing this process as an Evaluation Facility (although I do not have any involvement in that process.), as are the other Evaluation Facilities.
