Penetration Testing Side work?
('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is)
So I have been doing penetration testing now for a while now... So far I have been doing pen tests for clients whatever but I am a perm employee working normal hours.
So it doesn't stipulate in my contract that I can't do other penetration testing jobs on the side for extra cash. Infact I have been contacted once in the past for penetration testing weekend night work. I turned them down because it required some travel towards the end of the contract and the pay wasn't there.
So has anyone else done this on the side of a normal job done penetration testing for short contracts. Please penetrate xyz systems or web application whatever?
How did you find the work?
What did you do about the contract and the legal situation it presents?
Was it worth your time?
Main question is how can you get your hands on tests like this on a regular basis?
I would love to start my own Pen test company but I have no clue how to go about finding clients and getting enough clients to present a decent income. I mean I have seen a lot of contracts and based on host count whatever for pricing. Also based on Engineer's experience you know whatever 250 an hour for this test. Scheduled for 40 hours of work or as low as 90 an hour for 120 hours of work. Whatever but any ideas, suggestions, or work that allows me to work from home doing pen testing is appreciated from anyone else who has experience here.
Thanks all.
