Open Standards for Security Testing

While looking searching for security testing tools on Sourceforge I found the Open-Source Security Testing Methodology Manual. It looks like ideahamster.org is putting the methodology of hacking to an open standard. I liked their reasons for doing it too-- I´m also sick of reading bland testing methodology descriptions everytime I read a whitepaper submitted by some Penetration testing company looking for a little PR.

Personally, I like the idea of some sort of standard since the security testers are popping out like prairie dogs in heat these days.
