I’ve been meaning to create a write-up on how to get into the industry and certain resources to check out for different skillsets. So here it is, there are lots of different routes into Pentesting however there are two main things to keep in mind. Firstly who you know and second what you know, these are both very easy to achieve. Addressing the first point, the easiest and best approach to this is to get involved with the security community both locally by attending meetups and around the country by going to conferences. Whilst at events it is important to mingle and gain contacts, some people will see this as more of a challenge than the technical aspect however in this industry it is very important to be able to network and talk to people. By doing so you can acquire business cards and industry contacts, this will stand you in good stead for the future as you never know when you might need to call upon a contact. In regards to the second aspect of things to keep in mind: Technology, it’s important to actually know what you are doing and how to approach things, here is a short list of resources to check out and some general hints and tips for getting started in learning and application of the particular skillsets required.
