Prolly a fair bet you'll be working under her.
As long as she does most the work and all I need to take care of is the penetration, this arrangement could work. Do you think she'd be good at multitasking?

As you will see by my resume, I have a strong commitment to penetration and have a long history of penetration success.

You people do realize "penetration tester" is the business-friendly euphemism for "white-hat hacker", right?

I once had an opportunity to pursue this kind of work, but I didn't think I had enough experience related to such a position.

I'm pretty sure posters are aware of that :)

I once got a phish E-mail to my ISP E-mail account with Comcast stating I needed to log into their site and accept the new TOS. I knew it smelled phishy so I opened the link in a VPN and sure enough the whole website was crafted to look just like a real Comcast website with login. The hacker (or would be hacker since I nailed his ass) even add a nice touch of a captcha. Well, you could enter anything for the captcha and the login still worked. But what I did for a week was enter bullshit usernames and passwords. Like, you_have_been_pwned, etc. Then I went to GoDaddy, where the website was hosted and told them about it. Also reported him to spam cop and the E-mail server Admin he was using. He messed with the wrong dude because the site is no longer in existence.

Pentesting is always fun. Just don't do it with your real IP. It's interesting to see how secure some websites are.

I always hear the terms "market penetration, penetration rate, penetration in sales, " during our store meetings. Most of the guys smile specially when it's a lady talking about it. ;)

I remember someone asking me to pen test their site. I said it's not really my expertise but I can try anyway. Upon investigating I found out it was IIS, and I had the server down in about 5 minutes. Oops. My suggestion was to use something more secure than IIS. :D I think IIS has improved since then though.

You shut down the space station? :p
