Hello.

When I was 16, I caused over £70,000,000 in damage by hacking websites.

It wasn't hard.

It was a 3 step process🧵👇

10 ways to increase your chance of employment in cybersecurity🧵

1. Complete certifications.
2. Share content on GitHub.
3. Launch a YouTube Channel.
4. Create a personal website.
5. Create and maintain a blog.
6. Engage in bug bounty programs.

The British justice system has done an excellent job at rendering me completely useless in this industry.

I'm supposed to conform, but the one thing that I'm good at I'm unable to engage in.

You don't need someone that's highly regarded in cybersecurity to help you.

Talk to someone that's a few steps ahead of you instead.

This applies to any profession.

How to receive practical advice:

Person 1: "Can you help me learn about cybersecurity?"
Person 2: "Can you help me learn about web-application hacking?"

Be like person 2.

Otherwise, you'll get a vague answer that won't be of much use to you.

One thing that people don't talk about after being subjected to a police investigation for 4 years is the increased level of paranoia.

The worst noise to me is my doorbell ringing, it always puts me on edge, even when I'm not doing anything wrong.

A lot of people are trying to transition into cybersecurity but don't know where to start.

Here are 14 different areas that you can read into 🧵👇

I've contributed to over 100 bug bounty programs in the last 7 years.

Here's 7 YouTube channels to help you get started 🧵👇

I'm starting to realise that, regardless of my own personal beliefs, I should abide by social norms in order to positively influence others; otherwise, I run the risk of causing turmoil.

Unpopular opinion:

If you can't adapt and teach yourself, you're a liability.

If people have to spend their time teaching you things that you can learn on the internet, you'll always be one.

It doesn't matter what you do for a living.

Work in cybersecurity and need to look-up an IP address or domain quickly?

Here's a list of 13 search engines that you can use 🧵👇

Many of the organisations that grant cybersecurity certifications have major concerns with former black-hat hackers taking their examinations.

When I was released last year, I sent an email to ISC2 stating my situation, and they responded with a 5-step process.
