Hello,
Would you be interested in promoting yourself (or your site) by writing an article for the PenTest Magazine?
Our next issue is going to be about Metasploit and Backtrack.
I think that you can contribute relevant materials for our magazine.
Please let me know if you were interested in contributing.
Cheers,
Aleksandra Pawlak
Editor of the PenTest Magazine
Hi Aleksandra – I was planning to do an article on wpa/cloudcracker but wired beat me to it. Kinda seems pointless now. If I come up with an article idea I’ll hit you up.
Thanks!
Ryan
