ethical hacking
Ad
have you guys ever thought about starting a business of doing ethical hacking to help businesses and corporations and even individuals know where they are vulnerable in terms of network security? and charging a fee for it?
That's an already established practice called penetration testing.

Here is a certification that I would look into if you plan on opening a business doing such a thing. http://www.eccouncil.org/certification/licens... You will need to have several certifications and some good reputation before a lot of major companies would hire out for this sort of thing. I would consider doing some small business pro bono to build up a client list and reputation as a person who knows what they are doing. I have thought about offering this as a service through my managed IT services company, but it is a tricky sell. Also, another facet to consider when doing something such as this is not only to let them know where they are vulnerable but also how to fix those vulnerabilities and providing insight on how you got in and what you were able to compromise. I think it is a valid use of 'ethical hacking', so good luck if you do plan on going forwards with this.
