No. Nowadays, pen-testing is something for entry-level security workers, often using stock tools. The whole "hacking" scene came apart when someone decided to certify "ethical hackers" after someone else decided to fly planes into buildings.
- memr 16y agoEntry-level using stock tools? That was the nineties. Hacking scene came apart due to ethical hacking certs after 9/11? No. The hacking scene was all about hacking in the beginning. Then some people turned white-hat and got security jobs. Then most people in the scene got security day-jobs by releasing tools and 0days to market themselves. Then organized crime started hiring hackers for projects. Now hacking is all about money, be it a security job or working for the Russians.
