You all have interesting lives :)

I got my first computer when I was 15, at the time I was stupid and was only playing games. How I got into coding I can't remember, but it had something to do with school. Teacher was an angry, stupid bitch and all we done during IT lessons was draw some shit with MSPAINT or calculate binary number... I had to learn some password bypassing shit, because I had to... I had no friends, no one that would understand technology.

Wow, this was like my third post ever on this site. Interesting to see that people are still posting on this thread. I too have the unfortunate problem of having no friends who share my interests. Few friends at all. Didn't used to be that way but I'm pretty good by myself. I think it's harder to get better at things when it's just you and yourself.

Father is a programmer, so I was always around computers. He taught me how to build my first one around 7.

Never cared for anything IT related till I was around 15 or 16 and started doing LAN parties. Got a job working as an IT tech, did my thing only because I knew it ( same reason why I'm working help desk now -_- )

One day I was in my IT class, and used a netsend command to send messages to hot chicks in the class. Shit was hilarious. Kind of went from there.

My initiation moment was hacking a digital billboard to show the Laughing Man logo - out of curiosity too. Ever since then, blackhat, redhat, greyhat applications has always intrigued me. I've never fully pursued much for fear of legal repercussions. Currently in the process for a security analyst position with a Fortune 15 company. Hopefully something will come of it  8)

Beyond dicking around with Backtrack adn Metaspoit, I have built a PwnPhone - most badass little Nokia N900 evar. I brought it in to work once and forgot to turn off active mode and my manager's machine starts screaming out alerts about a brute force attack, the WEP being cracked, and one server suddenly picked up a rootkit.

Whoops.
