I'm a self-taught #SoftwareEngineer that is now trying to jump into the #infosec industry. In my current job I build internal enterprise web applications.
In my spare time, I am studying #security. I am particularly interested in #appsec, #osint, and #opsec. I plan to start doing #bugbounty programs and hopefully quit doing freelance web development work and focus on security research instead.
I also hope that this will open up opportunities to get a full time security job.
@uranther Thanks for the suggestion! I've been meaning to look more into PGP. I used it a while back for encrypted communications/files with a client for a job I was working on, but never really touched it since.
I'll get one generated and up there :)
@0x4464 Right on! You can use Keybase.io if you're unsure about maintenance of the keys. (PGP is Hard.)
Good luck and I hope you find your dream job soon.
@uranther Oh yeah, I've heard of keybase. I may go that route.
Thanks, I appreciate it!
@0x4464 Welcome! Good luck on your journey.
@0x4464 welcome to the community. I made the leap from development to security and enjoy security so much more. I hope you do too.
@_markmo_ Glad to hear others have done the same!
How did you make that jump if you don't mind me asking? It's not always easy to break into another industry without going back to school, so I'm curious how others have pulled it off.
@0x4464 welcome!
@0x4464 Welcome! You have a cool website but missing a public PGP key maybe unusual for someone looking for a security job.
