Trust Nothing, But Read This

My obsession with computers started the day my mom brought home our first PC. It was some AST brand from Radio Shack and I had no idea what I was doing. All I knew is that I had watched the film “Hackers” and I was going to be like the people in the film. The movie didn’t teach me much about anything really. I figured I could just do stuff because I wanted to. Of course I was in for a rude awakening. I was lost but in that uncertainty that switch was flipped and I was hooked.

Back then, there were no roadmaps into security. No bootcamps, no YouTube channels, just curiosity and a lot of destroyed systems. I broke a lot of things before I learned how to fix them. Every few months my Mom would get so mad and upset that I wiped out the family computer. Windows won’t start, she knew it was me. Account ban from AOL, she knew it was me. She understood it wasn’t malicious but of course it was annoying. Somehow, that chaos turned into a career.

The stuff I use the most is different. That’s my toolkit for all of this. Work and play. Some of my most used devices currently:
