Gotcha. Thanks for explaining it. I’m in the US so I was really curious on what was different in the EU that would cause problems for them

They’re illegal in Europe? Could you elaborate a bit on that?

Adobe is notorious difficult to run on Linux, even with wine. It’s one of the few things that I’d dare say could lock someone to windows unfortunately

I just graduated with my degree in CSEC and, while my college luckily never had us do that, I know at least 10 people who would have found a way to trick it somehow into reporting false data

Unless his attitude and stance changes, there’s not a single red team that I could see taking him. You can’t just throw someone who wants to be a criminal into pentesting and think it’ll go well

He’s talented, but the problem is jobs like pen testing require a LOT of trust to work in. So far this guy has said and shown that he intents on staying in cybercrime rather than doing legitimate work.

As it stands, given how he’s acted, I can’t see a single company that would let him pen test their systems or a red team that would take that risk to their reputation.
