So Chicago has a bunch of NFC things all over…

People have been overlaying malicious ones :lol:

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

I use NFC sometimes to send web links, images and with Google wallet but its not often I do those things

Some interesting news in the Android malware battle. http://thehackernews.com/2012/10/android-play-market-3916-with-built-in.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheHackersNews+(The+Hackers+News+-+Daily+Cyber+News+Updates)&utm_content=FaceBook#_

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

For all those smartphone users who make fun about the iPhone, the last laugh may be on you. The Internet Crime Complaint Center (“IC3”) has issued a warning about recent malware attacks targeting Android operating systems for mobile devices. That means those of you with phones from Samsung, HTC, Pantech, Motorola and others should read on.”

Now I will go back to reading NYSpeed from my Nexus 7

Sooo basically if you’re a retard with your phone this affects you.

It’s NYSpeed…

It’s every fucking ordinary user on the planet.

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.

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.

That’s awesome. I’ve not really been involved with setting up for pentests so I was curious.

Get me a job.

Anyone else see the news of SOFTBANK in the middle of a deal to purchase Sprint?

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.

You guys can make $70k a year testing pens? Fuck I’d do that. “Yeah, this one doesn’t write smoothly. Throw away that batch.”

yeah, I heard about it. they’re hoping the cash infusion will allow them to expand the network. that’s a big deal.
