| Jun 11, 2015 at 4:05 | comment | added | Jenny D | @Wesley Oh yes, I will also clear out any mention of the customer when asking questions. So far, all of mine have been about customers' issues. In at least one case, I've even asked the client to look at the question and let me know if I wrote it down correctly. So - yes, hiding the client is the right thing to do; I just don't want to hide myself. | |

Pedantic grammar and spelling changes. My OCD speaks and I must listen.

| Jun 10, 2015 at 20:17 | comment | added | Wesley | Anyway, to the OP, as a result, I sanitize all of my questions that have client information in them. I also do not inlcude information such as public DNS records in my questions. Any connection between me and the clients I work with has potential for increasing attack surface area. Simply write questions and remove all client information if possible. It gets tricky, and some questions are muddled as a result, but you get more skillful at it as times goes on. =) | |
| Jun 10, 2015 at 20:16 | comment | added | Itai Ganot | That's true and some of my customers are such | |
| Jun 10, 2015 at 20:15 | comment | added | Wesley | @JennyD I work with clients that have similar situations where they don't want any problems associated with their infrastructure to be in any way discussed publicly. It's not normally a matter among consultants of keeping up appearances of being all knowing. Usually for consultants it's a matter of client confidentiality. Some clients are in sensitive industries and are attack targets, so any publicly identifieable information about them increases potential surface area for attacks. | |

| Jun 9, 2015 at 9:25 | comment | added | Jenny D | I'd suggest getting a better class of customers, who don't get all upset because you have the great good sense to talk to others about issues you face... though I understand that this would be more of a long-term solution! | |
