Forwarded from: Alex Nehlebaeff <Alex.Nehlebaeffat_private> Maybe, but I seriously doubt you are hired to perform penetration test on critical government agencies. I would imagine that the buildings you are performing your penetration tests on are buildings that do not contain classified information or systems and are accessible to the public. That is not to say that public accessible buildings don't hold sensitive material and that you are not performing a service. My beef and this is were I agree with Michael, is you make it sound as if the whole federal government security program is a joke. And after spending 24 years in the Navy, I think I have been exposed to some of the security mechanisms that the government uses and I assure you, that your james bond tactics would not work in the majority of the installations I (and Michael) worked in.
