I think it goes back to my high school days. In computer class, the first assignment was to write a program to print the first 100 Fibonacci numbers. Instead, I wrote a program that would steal passwords of students. My teacher gave me an A.
I did get a huge endorphin rush when I was able to crack a system because it was like a video game.
Use a personal firewall. Configure it to prevent other computers, networks and sites from connecting to you, and specify which programs are allowed to connect to the net automatically.
I keep my stuff updated all the time. Being in the security industry, I keep up to date with securities.
So the ethic I was taught in school resulted in the path I chose in my life following school.
I love solving puzzles, I love finding my way around obstacles, and I love learning new things about technology.
