I've worked for a number of companies, strengthening their online security. You can ask me anything, and I'll try to be as descriptive as possible.
I'm an online security expert and an ex-hacker AMA

It took me less then 30 min, I got lucky using a WPA Table.
Recently, theres been alot of exploits around. Lets say you were targeting 'x' member on a particular forum/game, is it still possible to hack their computer and take control? Or will they need to fall for some sort of phishing in order to 'leak' their identity. Given the user's PC is all up to date with the latest patches.
Social engineering with phishing usually gets the job done.
What was the largest benefit you received from hacking and how did you conceive the plan to do it?
I'm curious to know the answer to this question.
Is "penetration testing" as pleasurable as it sounds?
If you like what you are doing ;)
How come your profile says you have made 10 comments yet I can’t see any of them? Have you been getting deleted by the mods?
Comment counts include deals that were unpublished as well as non-public threads (TWAM).
Shall we play a game?
What added security measures can I take to lock down access to my computer? What signs would I get that someone is snooping? Did you get your job by hacking the company? Would you consider yourself a grey hat or a black hat?
The usual; use a firewall and open only the ports you need, aHIDS, a good antivirus and do not click on everything you like. NO I didn't get my job by hacking the company :)
. a white hat.
Can you hack OzBargain?
I want to use Scotty's account.
I want to use JV's account.
This is the worst AMA ever. 13 hrs since the original post and not a single question answered by OP.
Technically it's ask me anything. Not ask me anything and I will answer everything.
His account may have been hacked.
still here… :)
How much do I need to pay you to hack a Ozbargain account?
hehehe… Not doing that anymore. Did that when I was a teenager.
What were the fundamental technical things you had to learn going into Security?
I had a "friend" back in the 90s engineer my login for a local BBS. Went to visit the sysop one day and on greeting me said he wasn't expecting me yet as I was online.
We dropped them into sysop chat to work out how much they knew about me. When I was done, I sent a couple line noise chars, then the fastest I've ever typed: This is the FBI. We have been monitoring your connection. Please stand by and await further instructions.
Saw them drop the connection within seconds. The sysop was in hysterics but I was still in shock about the whole thing. After a while, I realised the funny side of it and that I'd meant to say ASIO :-)
What's your knowledge or experience with NFC or RFID hacking and how far or how much have you experimented with it?
Mobile phone or NFC card hacking is going to be the next big thing imho.. there are ways to do it but I'd rather not play with fire as I am pretty sure I am already on a list so I have just surrendered myself.
Harmless hobbyist only here not a black or white hat.. mainly just a spectator or reporter.
Aircrack-ng what's the longest it's taken you to crack a wpa key.
