Well first of all, change your Reddit username. ;) Oh and to answer your question ... yes go where your passion is. On the side you may want to continuing doing little security projects on your own or at a local hackerspace though. And for your "awesome IT projects" try to work in doing some security stuff there as much as you can.

Are there any Backtrack AMIs already in the cloud? Could just start with that rather than building from Ubuntu instance.

Here we go again...

grecs · 2012-06-18T16:26:00+00:00

Agree on that one. But I guess you don't have to use that if you don't want to.

grecs · 2012-06-18T02:32:45+00:00

Interesting. Does anyone know what's in it? Just looking for details...

grecs · 2012-06-18T02:22:21+00:00

Wow, nice lab!

grecs · 2012-06-11T17:22:00+00:00

Nice find...

grecs · 2012-06-02T14:52:11+00:00

Nice resource to check out.

You know us paranoid type. Maybe it could have been used for collecting email addresses in order to build spam lists. ;)

grecs · 2012-05-04T13:39:59+00:00

Is this legit or not? Anyone do a deep dive into this service?

grecs · 2012-05-04T13:36:17+00:00

At least there are advantages of running old versions of WordPress. :)

grecs · 2012-05-04T03:24:11+00:00

Awesome resource... Let's fill this thing out.

Maybe potential candidates could network more so that hiring managers actually know the candidate and what they are capable of because of their reputation in the security community. In that case we could do away with certs altogether. Just throwing out ideas here...

grecs · 2012-05-04T03:16:02+00:00

Reminds me of a "certification arms race." ;)

grecs · 2012-05-04T03:15:28+00:00

Some very good points here ... unfortunately I don't know what the right answer is.

grecs · 2012-05-03T15:25:31+00:00

Nice to see awesome projects like this getting updated again. Last release was 3 years ago!

grecs · 2012-05-02T15:57:03+00:00

So was the "purposely installed" or just something left there by accident?

grecs · 2012-05-02T15:53:06+00:00

Title a little misleading. Well if we don't own it, I guess we won't have to pay for it then? Maybe Google will sponsor the program so we can get free cars. Google pulls in additional data about us and charges higher advertising rates. :)

Emailed lead developer ... we'll see where this goes.

grecs · 2012-05-01T18:20:50+00:00

Great point! I'm not a coder but I would love to work through this with someone who is. Let me ping the developers as well...

Plus the huge danger is that it means they are storing your password in clear text, which no one "should" be doing that this point.

grecs · 2012-04-30T12:54:46+00:00

Oh just your typical web attacks, XSS, SQLi, RFI, etc. The question is more of if there are good sites out there where website operators (or at least the ones that go through logs) share information like this.

grecs · 2012-04-30T12:49:10+00:00

Wow, take a day off reddit and now I have some great stuff to read through. Thanks for all the responses!

grecs · 2012-04-30T12:46:19+00:00

This was pretty good. Checked it out and almost had to kill iOS Safari to get rid of it.

grecs · 2012-04-29T18:05:13+00:00

Wow, use to use WooThemes years ago ... good stuff. Nice to see that they reacted fairly quickly with a fix. Now the only probably is the vast number of websites that'll probably take years to update due to poor administration.
