This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You jest, but I’ve read somewhere it’s actually reasonable to provide some amount of info or access to pen testers… since they’re just gonna find out anyway, but if you pay them for a week, you might as well not waste the first 3 days to have them figure the basic setup which doesn’t have an effect on the security analysis/outcome.
