Five Rules For Becoming A Successful Security Researcher
1. Set Realistic Goals
Be ambitious, but realistic. If you are a beginner, pick easy targets and take the time to build up your skills, or you will soon feel overwhelmed and frustrated.
2. Learn the Basic Skills You Need (But Don’t Waste Time Learning Too Much)
The most important rule: Start by learning the basics (how things work) instead of learning attack techniques first.
To get going, you should be know at least:
- Be able to read and understand all forms of code;
- Understand how code gets translated and executed on a CPU;
- Be able to write basic tools and scripts;
- Know how operating systems work;
- Fully understand TCP/IP networks.
The learning process never stops, so make sure to pick up new knowledge along the way.
3. Do Something New
Innovate instead of copying other’s work.
4. Don’t Give Up Easily
5 Don’t Take Things Personal
