My path to infosec: Learned to crack shareware cause I was bored at work. Read a book on UNIX, saved up and bought a computer, installed Slackware... got hired off the street when someone overheard me say “Linux”, the job was “learn to hack.”

Computers cost money. Money has never been a thing I’ve had. It took me months of working full time to save for my first computer… which I got just to use UNIX cause I liked the book I’d read.
