It seems like he only do outbound testing? Not very helpful and quite limited
then. Outbound protection is important, but not that important. It's a second
line of defence. I prefer to stop threats before they get inside. A test of
inbound protection would be more useful, IMHO.

If you ever go temporarily insane, don't shoot somebody, like a lot of
