In theory, that's perfect! The reality though is that I have a number of concerns:

  • There's no information or documentation available (perhaps after signing up?).
  • Is this a binary executable or an interpreted script?
  • What is it doing behind the scenes?
  • What are the tool's linux requirements?
  • Why is that website blocked by our firewall?

Especially when I'm purposely breaking things, I want to know exactly how that happens. I'd probably spend more time validating the tool as I would testing the purpose of the tool.

Thanks for the feedback, Stefan!
Rich
