Hacker mindset before toolset [ From childhood to adulthood ]. Continued...
By AgileTD
Abstract:
I began hacking at 16. Though, I had the hacking traits even before 16. By traits, I mean "Social Engineering" skills all self-learned without knowing the terminology and it wouldn't be incorrect if I call it "innate" skill-set ingrained in my brain by default.
As the years passed, I started looking into "Software Security" [ During those days,I just called it as Hacking ] and my first cracking activity was during 15 or 16wherein, I hacked the credentials of "Dial-Up Networking Subscription". After all, my need was to have the internet at home, as my parents wouldn't give me money to buy a subscription pack. Once I got the Dial-Up subscription via hacking, so many doors, windows, tunnels to the beautiful universe were opened. Yes, I was delighted.
Times passed by and I continued working on the mindset because that's where I felt a great adrenaline rush and also believed that it is a mindset first and then the toolset. I consider the mindset to be one of the skillsets which most engineers have to focus on.
Presently, I help various companies across the globe ranging from simple software to complex ones. From eCommerce to Banking and Healthcare to IoT MQTT etcetera. In short, wherever there is code, I am there to hack it with unconventional ways of hacking mindset and skillset.
In this talk, I am going to share my hacking experiences concerning my evil mindset [ to fight the black-hat hackers ] and demonstrations in an unconventional way.
