Hey EH-Net!
I'm located in Baltimore and am looking to get into a PenTesting/Security Research job. I've got about 10 years of experience as a developer and sysadmin, but the only security experience I have is in my graduate school curriculum. I'm trying to figure out where to apply for a job besides the obvious alphabet soup of government agencies around. Every job I see posted online seems to be looking for already certified people or people with work experience in the sec field.

I find myself in the old catch-22 of "can't get a job without experience, can't get experience without a job". Can anyone give advice here? Any EH-Net members in Maryland that might be able to suggest some firms that would take on a n00b with a lot of potential?

Thanks in advance,
Daydream
