I can relate to that...
- In fact it seems "#Mitnicking oneself to the top" is the way to basically skip 20+ years of #paywalled #academia in lieu of #StreetCred and #Clout and maybe a year or two on probation.

@briankrebs This also seems to be a preferred way to jump start an infosec career. The orgs that have stuff to protect either want a PhD or someone like that who proved themselves "effective" in committing crimes. Someone like me who writes defensive utilities isn't even going to get responses for junior sysadmin posts.
