Post by: hot dog on April 27, 2009, 01:10:59 AM
I heard that the US governement is looking to hire hackers for vulnerability testing.
I'm curious and cannot find any info. on this.  Does anyone know what their minimum requirement is, with respect to experience?

Just call the FBI, give them your hacking back ground and they will have some one contact you shortly.
