RE: Sexy pen-testers and auditing...

Actually I have hired a strip-o-gram in the past to gain access to a
secured site during a pentest. I arrived at the site with the stripper
and told the guard we were there to give an employee (whose name we had
gained from the website) a Strip-o-gram. The security guard gladly
buzzed us in through the mantrap, signed us in and took us into the data
center. While all the staff were busy watching the show I was grabbing
password files and installing software. This isn't as rare as you might
think.

Now let's take this thread in its logical direction: Sexy pen-testers on
meth.

Ok,

This is a great conversation but let's please keep it realistic.  How
many
pen testers will hire an escort to social engineer a client.  How do you
get
permission for that?

Not meaning to get flamed here, just stating the obvious.
