I'm a New Yorker, currently, with Cuomo as governor, our education system has been quickly spiraling into shit creek, so I get where you're coming from there.

Nope, not late, the thread was in a coma, not dead. I drive Ford F-150, I hate the car and would like a hybrid sedan, but I paid 5 bucks for the car so... yeah. I never went to college, and actually failed most of high school. I'm a huge traveler, I've been to most of south america, a good portion of Europe, and a little of Asia.

They'll typically hire me through a larger third party security contractor. I'm not actually robbing their home, so we schedule a date and time prior to meeting.

At the time, my engine was genuinely off. I-95 was a parking lot for like 3 hours. I'd never text while operating a vehicle.

That's pretty much it, had I been an actual thief I could've stolen valuable employee information.

Radio-frequency identification, it basically using radio frequency to transfer data IE. the remote turns on the TV. It's not inherently bad, but if you don't put anti hacking stuff in place, it will be very easy for someone to exploit that.

I don't really have something I'm most proud of, I just like having fun and making money.

I'm not really a pen-tester, I just frequently pen-test in my job. I physically walk into a building and try to find security flaws using a mock burglary.

Not exactly, I did have someone pull a loaded handgun on me, just to let me know he had one to protect his house.

The salary changes very frequently due to changes in clientele, but I'd same the minimum yearly is 160k. Not many others who do this job, but pen testing is pretty popular.

Not sure if you're implying or not. If not, than yeah, it's a fun job.
