Their nameservers are also misconfigured and allow zone transfers...

Looks like a pretty leet crew to me.

Quoting Jason Wood <tadaka at gmail.com>:

I got a chuckle out of this line from the article.

"*Drawbacks:* Talk about stress. If a system is infiltrated by a virus
or
hacker, it could mean lights out for the security consultant's career.
"This
is a job you can't afford to ever fail in," says Evans."

What was funny to me was I remember a thread a while back where a lot
of us
talked about getting into infosec **because** we got hacked.  I
suppose I
was just doing sysadmin work at the time, so you could point to that
as a
reason why I've never had much career trouble.  Still, I had to grin
at it.

Hmmm...I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm not seeing why he's *is*
a

light as
people who see *us* may think we were once on the black-hat side of
things,
but do you all think its impossible for someone to switch to the
white-side?

Although to be honest, no, I wouldn't trust him.  Convicted in 2002,
served
16 months means he was *probably* still in jail or just out when he
started
his company in 2003.   And "...that year, computer security stores
contracted to sell his cyber security software."  So, in less than a
year of
getting out of prison, he has a company and "computer security
stores" sold
his software?  WTF???

Ok, maybe I understand now...maybe it was just too early in the day.

On the plus side.  I think it is nice that we have some job
security...

On the downside....  Why did they have to go and find "The Worlds #1
Hacker?"

Now anyone that wants to get into this field thinks that all they
need
is a CISSP and to be an asshat.

Wait.....  That might be accurate.
