Penetration Testing TV Series Coming

ChazeFroy writes "CourtTV (TruTV) has a new series starting Dec. 25 at 11 pm called 'Tiger Team.' It follows a group of elite penetration testers hired to test organizations' security using social engineering, wired/wireless penetration testing, and physically defeating security mechanisms (lock picking, dumpster diving, going through air vents/windows). They do all of this while avoiding the organizations' various security defenses as well as law enforcement. The stars of the show also did a radio spot this morning in Denver." Wonder how they socially engineer away the presence of a camera team in the air vents.

(lock picking, dumpster diving, going through air vents/windows)

Funny, when I did that they called it B&E - sigh.

Reverse engineering?

Kudos to the first group to penetrate the series' offices and make off with their tapes.

I was going to write something witty and mildly suggestive. like "hey, so THOSE are the guys that inspect all those condoms that say things like inspected by No.4. I could be that number 4! Look out ladies." (Score:3, Funny)

Then I realized that this is Slashdot, and most of us couldn't get laid if it was our jobs. (badum pum. ah-thankyou) Score:2, Funny or Score:2, Insightful. ...But THEN I realized once again that this is Slashdot, and that this story contains computers and myriad potential for dick jokes! (Score:5, Super Awesomeness OMG)

So uh.... I could totally be that Number 4 inspector! ...something something computer security!
????
Profit!!
