Humor: Pentest Storytelling

From Bruce Schneier’s blog an unverified story about breaking into banks and then asking them to pay for consulting. Warning, this is generally considered illegal (due to lack of formal pre-authorization) and could easily lead to arrest.

Spoiler alert: Women are characterized as emotional, unstable and irrational. Men are characterized as cool under pressure and smooth. So the story is clearly embellished from a particular bias.

Also strange is how the story starts out bold on technology attacks, to a point of being unsatisfactorily vague and boastful (I expected him next to say he also was in the special forces and has traveled to Mars), but then shifts into a physical assessment description that is laden with pre-authorization, deniability and constant worry to prove their innocence.
