Hi chen I suggest you to read "How To Own The Box" and "How to OWn The Continent" the Excerpts are scattered on the internet. or if youre lucky googling, you can find the full version of the book. the book gives a lot of scenario about "real people" and "real problem" on IT Security. maybe by reading one of the stories on the books you will get inspiration on what path you going to choose.. the others, please enlighten me.. -Mozart-
Hi, list: I have been in web app development for a few years, now I have been in security field over a year, seems I am pretty interested about hacker techniques, malware analysis and IDS stuff, felt little bit hesitated get into any day to day network management job like ACL, VPN account management, but I know knowledge about firewalls and routers are also important for a security professional, but I am not sure how deep I should dig into this area.=20 Another concern is my language limitation and my nationality, I am from China, I feel it would be a barrier for me to get into forensic field since they demand very good presentation skills and high clearance.=20 So, what will be the right path for me to avoid my weakness and still have a career I enjoy? Pen-testing? Incident response? web app testing? Any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.
