Just because a domain has the word book and .com in it doesnt mean it's an American book company :P this was a domain I bought to host my sixth form leavers book six months ago. -----Original Message----- From: Stuart Criddle [mailto:stuart () ngssoftware com] Sent: 27 September 2008 21:07 To: datacut Subject: RE: Getting into the industry Is there a reason you are posting from a US based book company if you are based in Cornwall? Kind regards Stuart

Carpentier -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of datacut Sent: Monday, 22 September 2008 7:23 a.m. To: pen-test () securityfocus com Subject: Getting into the industry Hi list, I am seeking the best way to get into a pentesting role in 4/5 years time (or more/less) I was looking for advice from you as to what qualifications are best or more recognised (unfortunately the former doesn't often mean the latter), and also how to gain any sort of recognisable experience which would help me progress to attain such a role. I am currently 18, have completed my A-Levels (B Maths and BC double award ICT) and achieved Ciscos ITE1 and ITE2 plus done my CCNA 1 - 4 although my certification exam isn't until next month. I have been accepted to Birmingham City university (formerly University at the Center of England) for a deferred year (start sept 09) for the Computer Networks and Security course. I am situated in Cornwall, UK saving up to offset my student loan (hopefully I won't have to use one). Thanks for any help as I really really want to get into this industry and sort of job.
