This was an epic read. Thanks for sharing! And here I was thinking that it is extremely unlikely someone will get hired as a pen tester without having at least decent skills. If that's the case I can become a pen tester right now and kick ass

My day has been brightened by the power of laughter! Thank you for sharing this fun article

Oh this was a good one. “MySQL configured to allow connections from 127.0.0.1. Recommend configuration change to not allow remote connections.” Uh, what?

GarudaMin

Well, at least it didn't say
MySQL configured to allow connections from 127.0.0.1. Recommend configuration change to not allow remote connections FROM 127.0.0.1

I wonder what he would say for ::1

LOL...this is awesome. Thanks for sharing

Sad. Many of the folks coming to IT since the mid 00's, should be pressing the pictures on the registers at McDonald's.

Only two words describe this: EPIC FAIL.

Wow. I mean I'm pretty noobish with infosec, but even with my limited knowledge, I still found this pretty funny.

My favorite was, "Fixing the configuration will no longer allow evil connections by evil connection for configuration of server."

lol, i would have kicked the trashcan too. I'm not a pentester and I could make a better report. Guess I learned something in those courses...

Hard to believe that is real... wow.

I read this the other day and came dangerously close to spitting out my coffee in laughter. This piece is priceless:

While no issues were found on this portion of the network, issues may or may not exist until they are found.

A good chunk of the beratement is because of the Indified English in the written report. Is this what people mean when they complain about the poor grammar on the CEH, CHFI, and LPT exams?

wow. lol

I think that has a lot to do with it... plus the fact they bill themselves as the 'premier' IT security certification body. Sorry, but if you want to claim you are top of the heap, you need to have your house in order, and be professional and exacting in grammar and spelling. The CEH and CHFI fail spectacularly on both counts. Maybe I just get in a snit because I used to be an GLBA auditor, and my mom was a librarian... but I can't stand it and it makes me think they are unprofessional, and if they aren't willing to pay someone to get that right, what else are they cutting corners on in the name of profit (*we all know the answer to that now, LOL) As far as I am concerned, in InfoSec, you had best be swinging for the fences in getting it right. They don't make that effort.

Many days ago I read this article, and it is not only in the security area, they are doing the same with other IT sides.

Speaking of the high quality that EC-Council brings to the table...

Some of you may have already seen this, but EC-Council was breached last week (in the very least, the victim of DNS hijacking).
