Re: [Full-disclosure] SMS Banking

["McGhee, Eddie" <Eddie.McGhee@xxxxxxx>]

Going by his resume he has some basic networking/it skills, no decent Cisco 
certs, cant code.. He may be able to do maths but everyone knows you cannot 
predict how a vuln is going to appear with some number crunching.. And with his 
skill set.. Secured over 1600 networks, no wonder financial institutes get 
pwned so much these days if people like this goon is working for them 

I wouldn't waste any more time on this nub Thor, you have more than proved he 
is a douche.

Actually Valdis, it seems like all of this may be for naught.  It has been 
brought to my attention that drafting a contract with Dr. Wright wouldn't be in 
my best interest.  Apparently, he's known for not keeping to the "spirit" of 
contracts when money is concerned.  

Now, if I were an ass, I might be tempted to publish the information found at 
http://www.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/scjudgments/2004nswsc.nsf/00000000000000000000000000000000/1c0f375d3250297dca256ef300196460?OpenDocument

but fortunately for the parties involved, I'm not.  Entering into a contract 
where willful misconduct and lying under oath may ensue is not my idea of a 
smart business move.  I'm not saying Dr. Wright did any of those things, (even 
though others have), I'm just saying that if one can't define what "product" 
means, then I doubt one can successfully define what "probability of 
compromise" means either.  Good money is on letting this one die as it lies (no 
pun intended).  So I must regretfully rescind my challenge, or not accept his, 
or whatever it was at this point.  

Now, if I were REALLY as ass, I would point out something like though Dr. 
Wright has a degree in law, between him and his attorney, the best they could 
come up with when emails were found on his system and phone calls were on his 
cell bill was the "it wasn't me" defense. But again, I won't point that out.  
It would be just plain mean.  

If I REALLY REALLY were an ass, I would further point out the irony of a master 
of digital forensics not being able to properly delete emails from his computer 
in the first place, or the rumor that AU has this thing call "krypshun," but I 
won't mention that either.  That would be both crass and insensitive of me.  

'twer I an ass cubed, I would take this opportunity to reference a Princess 
Bride joke in regard to the source of iocane powder (that one's for you, Laura) 
but again, I'll suffer internally to protect the innocent.  

So I'll bow out.  Craig, you win buddy.  While I may never know what the Magic 
Number the Improbability Engine might have produced (now that Douglas has 
passed on) at least I know that criteria one must meet in order to be a 
Security Hero.

Thanks for playing everyone.  Good luck, and good night!
