I used
to know several companies that did "ethical hacking" as a consulting service for
companies who wanted reports on how good their security setup was. They
did everything from brute force to social engineering. The funny thing was
that they used the same tools that are publicly available (nmap, snort,
etc.).

The only way to find is this is true is to hire some sort of high end
consulting service company that offers "Ethical Hacking" services to prove
the company wrong.
Bill, do you know any high end network service company that offers this
kind of service.??
