Do not work as a Hacker - A Warning to you all :: Rootcat

Hey rootcat, how can I start to learn hacking? Hello Mr. Rootcat, can you recommend a starting point, for me to learn penetration testing? Hola señor rootcat, can you help me land a job as a red teamer? Buddy, don’t! I’m warning you! Just don’t, I spray you with a water bottle! Let’s get one thing strait, this will not be a well-structured and thought-out, or balanced blogpost, this will just be a one-take rant with some fun and a little madness.

@WPalant @rootcathacking This speaks to me on so many levels. There's also this quite nice talk (less rant) by @HalvarFlake going in a similar direction:

@ljrk @WPalant @HalvarFlake
Wow thanks, I just thought I would watch a few minutes, but then I watched it whole.

I did not know that talk, but when someone drops Dürrenmatt and a one-trick pwnie, that got me hocked :)

Thanks for that

@rootcathacking @WPalant I think it's one of the best keynotes I've seen, and @HalvarFlake is a terrific speaker! Glad you enjoyed it!
