TA-Mapper: Application Penetration Testing Effort Estimator
Date of release: 01/01/2009
Time and Attack Mapper (alternatively known as TA-Mapper) is an effort estimator
tool for blackbox security assessment (or Penetration Testing) of applications.
This tool provides more accurate estimation when compared to rough estimation. Penetration
testers who always has hard time explaining/justifying the efforts charged (or quoted)
to their customers can find this tool handy by able to calculate efforts with greater
accuracy required for application penetration testing.
I
wrote this tool back in 2004 to support some of my freelancing assessment. I was
intrigued to write this tool when I was asked by one of my Fortune 100 customer
to justify efforts quoted against the activities for a penetration testing assignment.
It not just helped me win the project but also help me educate the customer in knowing
the activities involved at the micro-level. After making few changes in the tool
I thought I have kept it private too long and its right time to share it with the
world.
