As the article discusses, one would think they would've learned from the Sony rootkit incident.  Anybody have a Samsung laptop?

Just checked - I understand now.  Thanks

BillV/Joshsevo - which "same link?"  The gotomeeting registration link BillV posted last week?

I didn't account for the timezone, but I caught the last few mins and they said the recording will be available on the website tomorrow.

I heard an interview with Georgia Weidman the other day on the PaulDotCom podcast about her SMS/botnet project (which is really cool by the way), then yesterday watched an interview with her on Hak5 at Schmoocon (again, talking about her SMS/botnet project).  I found her website only to find more goodies!  She helps run a hacker space called Reversespace and lately they've been holding classes to teach people Metasploit following Offensive Security's "Metasploit Unleashed" (something I've been trying to find the time to sit down and go through).  They're uploading all the videos and slides to the grmn00bs.com website.  I wasn't able to find an easy way to link them all with a single link (they're not all categorized under one category), so simply scroll down and you'll find week 1.

Ooh, ok

Congrats, bickmade!

Was there a reason you took the v6 exam and not the v7 one?

Gratz tturner!

If you can find a lockpick group in your area, I'm sure you could find someone there to let you test out a cutaway.  You could check this LockPicking101.com forum or just use some google-fu to see what you can find

**EDIT**
I guess "locksport" would be the term to use when researching for a local groups..?

This is spot on, very nice write up!  And I agree w/ skitch on the cost analysis bit.  I know I'll be re-reading this and using some of the points you've made in future discussions with my company.  Thanks again for sharing!

Great!

Gratz j0rDy!  Some more knowledge to build upon

Congrats! Any chance we could read the paper?

Mike Murray posted a great article over at The Hacker Academy's blog: http://www.thehackeracademy.com/the-key-skill-set-of-great-penetration-testers/

He references an article posted over at InfoSecInstitute: http://resources.infosecinstitute.com/ideal-skill-set-for-the-penetration-testing/

Both are great articles I thought and may help you out a bit.

Congrats, that's great!  I've heard nothing but good things about Armando and the eCPPT course, it's in my career plan
