Mr.Perfect was interested in my story so here it is.
For years ago I was like every "normal" computer user. I was playing games and was able to write papers in Word and such. Then one day my mom came home and told me about one of her colleges son who had earned big money on making websites. I came to the conclusion that I could use the money and i was kind of interested in how the computer/internet/websites actually works.
So I started learning HTML, CSS, Javascript and such and I quickly found out that i really enjoyed making the websites. I have now worked with websites for about 4 years and I'm currently making a webshop for a fairly big company.
Back to the story. After I felt that I could take a break at learning website development I quikly got interested in how the computer actually worked. I then spent some time on studying computer science "low basis" on my own. I learned a lot and in that period of time I got used to Linux (love it now). After I knew how the different computer systems worked I moved on to actually controlling them. I got interested in programming and I quickly found that Python was the language of my choice. I learned a bit of Python and was actually capable of making something, all forgotten now. I then moved on to programming in Java and later on C++. I have now switched back to Java because I'm going to take some classes in it this summer/fall. Then after i understood the basic concepts of how you control the computer I fell back into my web development. I quikly got more interested in the security aspects of it and I have loved it since. I learned about the different vulnerabilities and how to spot them. This is where my web development came in handy, it is a lot easier to find the vulnerabilities when you actually understands the code and know what it does. So I worked a lot with the website security and i found vulnerabilities in some pretty big websites. After that I looked into the malware scene and learned a bit about that.
so what am I doint these days? Because of all my jumping around bestween the differnet fields i have at least basic knowledge in about every major field of hacking. I'm of course more specialized in some fields than others. And I will not claim to be an expert in any of them. Because of that I found myself pretty capable of pointing people in the right direction. Because I knew from my mistakes what to do and what not to do. Since I have taught myself most of the things I know about (Of course I have learned a lot from other peoples and I could not have done it without them) are self-study. Anyways today I'm back at my Java programming, I'm making websites, teaching and tutoring, helping where I can and moderating some other hacking forums.
Sorry for the long post but there was a lot to be told.
