RE: Pentesters getting owned?

I have watched a particularly crusty client DOS some pen-testers for spite.
He had been embarrassed by them. The guy was a nut, but he kinda had them by
the balls cause, what were they gonna do, complain?

Subject: [Dailydave] Pentesters getting owned?

Has anyone ever heard of or seen a pen-testers laptop get owned while their
on site? I was just thinking,
sometimes to exploit wacky services you need to open yourself up. Which
obviously led me to the hilarious
thought (albeit scary if it were me), what if i got owned?
I think if I were in a different job (it security officer ect) I would most
likely scan their machine when they
came on site (You don't want a vulnerabler pen-tester hanging around your
network breaking in and gaining access,
without at least considering their security, right?) Has anyone who has
these positions done such a thing?
Just some fun evening thoughts,
