It's been over 2 years since my last thread: https://atheistforums.org/thread-33530.html
Considering that security has been in the news recently (Russian hacking, Ransomware attacks, Australia's new "cryptography ban", etc.) I thought it might be time for another one.
Background
I have a Bachelors degree in Computer Science, minoring in Information Security, and a Masters degree in Information Security, both from one of the most respected InfoSec institutions in the world. I currently work as an ethical hacker (penetration tester) and get paid to try and hack into various corporate software.
I've worked in the industry for a few years now, in a number of roles. In that short time I've hacked numerous computer networks, mobile devices, web applications, etc. I have discovered vulnerabilities, written proof of concept exploit code, and a few exploitation tools. In my current position I deal mostly with web application and mobile application hacking.
I'm prepared to answer any questions you might have about computer / network security topics, within reason (i.e. I've signed several non-disclosure agreements and I'm not breaking them).
