Hi Evil Guyz,

lots of areas, and you are a bit vague

Pentesting is a big field, it mostly uses tools made by others but understanding connection protocols is good. Server administration would do well with some hacking knowledge. I personally want to go into system level programming which is C, C++, Java (I guess). Electrical engineering would be a must for a hardware hacker.

What specific area are you interested in?

Get a university degree?

Even though I've just entered the business by one foot, I'll give you my cents too.

First, get some damn fine knowledge - obvious, I know. Then decide which area of the business you want to get into. I'm biased by noncetonic, so I'm currently working my way towards red teaming. But what I'm currently is doing, is starting on my own. We're four people who decided that it was time to do something about it, if we wanted to do this full-time. We then formed a group/company and started offering our services. I got some nice IRL contacts which has been really valuable in landing our first contracts.

I wish you the best of luck.

Best thing to do?

Well, make everyone think your a l33t h4ck3r and then beg @noncetonic for an internship.
