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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is sponsored by: Norwich University EARN A MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INFORMATION ASSURANCE - ONLINE The NSA has designated Norwich University a center of Academic Excellence in Information Security.
