That’s a great idea. I’d never scan an NFC tag I just found out in public. ---

NFC is like those QR codes. Cool idea but what a fun way to get people to go to a bogus website. Thought was there but just so easy to abuse ---

People are dumb we do phishing a lot for work and often times people call/email us back for support because their AV won’t let something run or they don’t know if they should always allow the java applet to run. Nothing surprises me anymore :lol: Hopefully the previous link saves a few people on here ---

Is that pretty common for rules of engagement to allow for you to launch phishing attacks? I know that some companies will do periodic spear phishing for educational/awareness purposes, but it’s sort of contraversial to some extent as well. ---

I know that some companies will do periodic spear phishing for educational/awareness purposes, but it’s sort of contraversial to some extent as well. We offer all kinds of stuff internal/external/web/social/physical/full redteam/code review most companies mix and match services they want. People are very interested in social engineering attacks now just about every external pentest we do includes it as a separate service. Over the past couple years its really evolved from wanting metrics around who/what was clicked to full exploitation of a client computer with screen shots. ---

The place I worked in CA will give you 75k a year if you have your OSCP and know some shit and that was working from home 70% of the time…Go bang out a year there and move onto somewhere else Trustwave, BT, IOActive, Fishnet, Accuvant, etc. Pentesting isn’t a great job for most people you really need to love what you do. ---

redspin? I think pentesting would be fun to do for a few years before settling into a more long-term position. I like what I do now and they’re paying for some training. Actually just finished the SANS 504 course. I just want to make more money lol. ---
