What if you break into someone's home at night, unnoticed and ask if they want an advice on how to stay safe, do they hire you? No damages made!

- simonswords82 9y agoA more accurate analogy is that you contact the home owner and advise them that their home is at risk of being broken in to because of whatever security they're lacking. No need to actually break in to the home, just point out the vulnerabilities.
- hdhzy 9y agoOkay but you need to check if they are vulnerable. I think the owner wouldn't be happy with people fiddling with his locks to check if he is vulnerable. The correct solution is the same as for pentesting: ask for permission first.
