    I think its all covered. As it says on the page, the bulk will be in specifics in how to test each class of problem you have identified. That seems logical to me.

    I would really like to see some way of determining if source code analysis or black box fault injection is the better approach for each problem. finding overflows is much easier as a source code analysis excercise for instance and cookie poisoning is probably easier as a pen test excercuse

    Just my 2cents
