I just had someone tell me they've spent over 20 years in #InfoSec ...call me skeptical.
@dorianmuthig @Wh1t3Rabbit @kylemaxwell We had firewalls (http://bit.ly/WGro2z ) and IDS (http://bit.ly/WGrmYq ) back then even!

@attritionorg@Wh1t3Rabbit@kylemaxwell Computers were expensive back then, stupid expensive and those who could afford them didn't care... -
@dorianmuthig@attritionorg I think you must have been a kid or at least not involved at the time. The CFAA was passed in '86... -
@kylemaxwell@attritionorg Yes, & back then you needed to have access to the physical machines as well, only government cared. Not consumers -
@dorianmuthig@kylemaxwell Yes! Security was achieved by burying the computer in the ground to ensure no remote connections. -
@attritionorg@kylemaxwell And that requires no skill, so claiming 20 years of "skill" is being full of s**t. Or do you want to deny that? -
@dorianmuthig@kylemaxwell Like I said, firewalls, IDS, oh my! Even back then... so 20 years is certainly possible. -
@attritionorg@kylemaxwell Yes, if you made them. But those people are either dead, retired... or well, not you. Am I wrong? 15 years, tops. -
@dorianmuthig@kylemaxwell my first full time penetration testing job was in 1996. do the math, think about it. - 5 more replies
