Huh! Whenever I see something like this I always want to claim "BS", then I think well how non PC of me this security professional did his job so james bondish maybe uncle sam should hire him.99% of my work is for governments. Who does he think hired me to do the penetration study? It was a government building. I'm not a freelancer. This is what I have been doing for a living for 30 years as of this year.
Folks, ordinarily I'd agree about this sounding like B.S. However, I know Steve, and he doesn't deal in B.S. This is exactly the sort of thing he does for a living, and he's quite good at it. I have no reason to think it didn't go down just as he described. The building where my own agency is located was penetrated just as easily by a hired contractor some months ago. Security is an illusion. Cheers, RGF Robert G.
