I'm currently working on a pen tool utilizing the Metasploit Framework , but won't have the kinks worked out of that for a bit.

Currently I've been doing a lot of forensics, and after action type of work. I've gotten to be very good friends with BackTrack, I even gave it a partition on my HD. My passion at this moment is to build a pen testing platform (on a laptop) that is so easy to use that I can hire professionals that have physical security perimeter breaching skills, so all they have to do is find a live wire, and hit "GO". Then I can finally rule the world (about damn time)
Nice, I'm very impressed with what you want to do. BackTrack is all you really need. (metasploit is the shyat!!!) If you know what you're doing (sounds like you do) then you can do anything with it.

Have you used EnCase? EnCase is very hot in the forensics world.

My best friend Mike . By the way Mikey, I'm done with you bro I found a new lover now his name is Mike The Hacker.

So Mike what are you going to be doing tonight? Have any plans? You wanna maybe start up the good old IRC?

I got it Mike, the name for your program. Sort of like John the Ripper but instead Mike the Hacker. Sounds a little lame but it'll sell.

That is no bueno, I have a brother who was a Division 1 quarterback in college with his whole life ahead of him, who is now a quadriplegic from a motorcycle crash. I no longer EVER ride on the street. I have dirtbikes, and a son who races motocross, but the day I catch him riding a street bike his motocross sponsorship (by me) is over.

Sounds like fun! We should attack each others home networks. Play a nice game of "Find the File" I've uses Samurai for testing websites that I've built, but never got any more into it. As far as EnCase goes... very nice stuff, but they won't license the source for the type of project I'm working on.

I've thought about doing a crypto attach on my own home network to see what I can do, but stinking work has me swamped. Oh, yeah, and the internet connection at my hotel sucks.

There are self absorbed idiots everywhere, I had a Christmas Vacation moment the other day with a couple of hillbillies out here in East Texas. Some people actually believe that if you own a Mercedes you have to be a rich a-hole. I remember another incident (here in East Texas again) where two good ol' boys were making fun of me and my "expensive" car. I looked at them and informed them that there brand new Chevy Duramax diesel was three times the price of my Mercedes. Priceless moment watching their brains explode trying to figure that one out.

My wife calls me "Subtly Pretentious" because I like to have nice things, but I'm not ostentatious at all. Probably the most glaringly yuppie thing about me is my Polo shirt fetish. I love their interlock shirts, but I really don't care what anyone else thinks. My parents are pretty well off, but my first car was a '70 VW beetle that my Dad and I took apart and re-built ourselves. He actually made me do that twice, once for my older sister, and once for myself. All of my younger brothers had to do the same, it was kind of a right of passage. My sisters just had to demonstrate that they could change a tire, and the oil... Girls always get off easy...
