Your review gets a d-.
You can't add. You can't spell. Your skills appear to be limited to
rudimentary use of a browser and linkedin.com. In combination with
your undeserved and unearned sense of self importance, pretty
pathetic.
You spelled Marcin's last name wrong. Great use of linkedin.com. You
can't even cunt n paste. He interned for us last semester. He isn't
a front line consultant. So,you fail the ^c ^v and spelling
practical, as well as the investigative one. We have 2 other
consultants besides myself-they don't use linkedin and you didnt
find them. Our clients know our consultants. We don't post their
names on the website.
F is for failure.
As for my experience - I was also a the security officer for an at
the time publicly traded company for 2 years, the IT director of
2 .com startups where security was my responsibility for several
years, and for the last 2 have been deeply involved with all
customer engagements.
Prior to that I spent the 90s architecting, developing, and leading
developer teams.
I hsve been pentesting since 98 and nearly nonstop since 2000. You
were what, 11 years old then? Clearly, basic arithmetic isn't a
strong point of yours, either. I suspect you spent the 90s in
grammar school. At lest you seemed to learn something there.
On that note....
Most of our clients are referred by others who are very satisfied
with the work we perform. Not by the website. It doesn't get a lot
of attention - were small but growing and focused on serving our
clients. I know basic HTML seems like the pinnacle of achievement to
you, but we aren't in the business of making pretty web pages. We
discuss our methodology with our clients-we don't post it on the
web. I know you were hoping to learn nimething. Hacking for dummies
might be more your speed, after you perfect your Cunt and Paste
skills.
I took the plunge and started what is now a growing business nearly
2 years ago, and we now serve 3 fortune 1000 clients, replacing much
larger firms, plus a good number of midsize clients. Being an
entrepreneur is a lot more challenging than being an anonymous
anklebite, though from your moms basement it might not seem that way.
I'm heading to Manhattan for some R&R right now. If you are in the
vicinity let me know, I'll buy you a beer (if you're 21) and you can
meet me yourself and post a review or somthing.
Don't take this wrong - consider it constructive criticism and try
harder next time. It's good to know we are recognized enough to be
noticed by the mighty, anonymous secreview. This might even double
our daily web traffic to 20 visitors. ;)

QuiteMove, located at http://www.quitemove.com is a small
Professional IT Security Services Provider that offers Training
services, Incident Response Services, Web Application Security
Services and Penetration Testing Services. QuiteMove was started by
Adam Munter in 2006 along with Jeffrey Rassas, and James Garvey,
Jr. You can read their mission statement here "http://www.mywikibiz.com/Directory:QuietMove
" (but its pretty basic).
When reviewing the QuiteMove website and people we were not the
least bit impressed. The QuiteMove website is packed full of
grammatical errors and many of the services don't even have
descriptions. The services that do have descriptions are very
poorly written and very poorly defined. Take a look at their
Penetration Testing service offering as an example. If you want to
see an example of no content check out their Social Engineering
offering.
Since we were unable to extract anything useful from the materials
provided to us by QuiteMove we decided to focus on the talent
behind QuietMove. Unfortunately we were equally unimpressed. The
only technically oriented team members that we were able to
identify within QuietMove were Adam Munter, who is a founder and
Marcin Wielgoszewsk, who is a very "green" consultant. Seeing as
Adam Munter is being positioned as the technical visionary for
QuietMove, we decided to focus on him and not on Marcin.
Adam's Linkedin Bio: http://tinyurl.com/yt9j2y
As it turns out Adam Munter worked for Accuvant, a company that
competes directly with Adam's QuietMove; prior to founding
QuietMove. Adam's role at Accuvant was to lead consultants on IT
Security Engagements for large orginazations. In conjunction with
this, Adam also spoke at conferences. He worked here for 1 year and
1 month.
Prior to working for Accuvant, Adam worked for Pegasus Solutions
Inc. as the acting Chief Security Officer. Pegasus is the largest
hotel reservation distribution system vendor and a major vendor of
Hotel Management systems. Adam did get some Sarbanes Oxley work
under his belt as he helped Pegasus to successfully "marshall"
through their first audit. Adam also initiated the program to help
get Pegasus to be Visa CISP compliant, including evaluating and
changing their handling of payment Cardholder data. He worked here
for 2 years and 1 month.
From August 2000 to January 2003 Adam was a "Founding member of
IBM's Ethical Hacking Center of Competency." His responsibilities
included being a technical interviewer for new hires, a Penetration
Testing Subject Matter Expert, and the performance of consulting
engagements for clients ranging from midsize companies and
government agencies to the fortune 500. Adam worked for IBM for 2
years and 6 months.
So if we add up the relevant experience that Adam has had according
to his linked in bio we get 1 year and 1 month + 2 years and 6
months, which is a grand total of 3 years and 7 months of
professional IT Security Consulting Experience. Not sure about our
readers, but to us at Secreview that hardly makes Adam an IT
Security Expert.
But wait, now we have a discrepancy...
According to the QuietMove website, Adam "has over 14 years of
experience in information security, software, and product R&D with
8 years being dedicated solely to security." His QuietMove bio goes
on to say "Adam’s particular talents include penetration testing o
f web and binary applications, networks, systems, and SCADA, “soci
al engineering” and physical penetration of facilities, and in dev
eloping professional services offerings."
This just doesn't add up.
Anyway, remember we didn't set out to bash anyone here, but Adam/
QuietMove put himself/themselves in the line of fire. QuietMove
appears to be a very small and disorganized shop. Their website is
half-assed and incomplete and we can't say anything better about
their talent profile. We suggest that QuietMove complete their
website and review their talent profile, then we'll set out to do
another review and see if they score better. As of right now, we
can't give them more than a D-. We'll keep an eye on their website
and redo this review if they ever fix their issues.
