• Do two wrongs make a right?

    12 May 2009

    I came across this bit recently on whether or not it’s considered illegal hacking if security vendors and researchers become Internet crime fighters.

    Maybe it’s just me but I think this is risky behavior. Want to hack something? Then setup your own systems to hack…or find a willing participant or paying client, get their permission in writing, and do it the right way.

Client Testimonials

“A business associate referred our company to Principle Logic when we were seeking a resource to perform vulnerability /penetration testing for our external and internal networks. We found Kevin Beaver to be professional, well informed, and easy to work with. His testing did not disrupt our networks, and his progress updates were timely.

His final report was very thorough and included security recommendations for our network environment. The executive leadership was so impressed with Kevin’s security expertise, they have extended their agreement to continue to perform periodic testing. We highly recommend Kevin Beaver and Principle Logic as a resource for network security testing.”
