[Klug-general] [NEW MEMBER]Self-intro and question

[James Blake]

Welcome to KLUG.

My advice would be to specialise in the security of Linux, applications and networks.  There is still a big shortage of infosec professionals and there is good money in being a stand-alone consultant.

There are also a lot of good on-line free resources to learn the trade.  BackTrack Linux will provide you most of tools in one distro; and SecurityTube (http://www.securitytube.net/) has good tutorials.

Regards


Jimmy

Once those areas have been regenerated your job will no longer be there because it will have been transferred to a far-away country with a dubious human rights record where everyone is far more educated and much more willing to work than us lazy-arses.
