Hello guys,

Just thought I'd post here and introduce myself Well I'm 24 years old and I live in the Netherlands. I've always been fascinated by computers, technologies and weird theories such as time travel lol. I'm still at college because I skip any class that seems boring to me and generally don't pay much attention anyhow (maybe I'm a bit of an ADD person). So I failed a couple of times, oh well. I'm mostly interested in programming, security and a bit of networking (though I find CISCO classes very boring).

I started learning stuff about security about one year ago, bufferoverflows, sql injection etc. Feels like I've learned a lot, but there's still way too much that I don't even have a clue about. So I started looking into reverse engineering and cryptography, which will hopefully improve my chance of actually finding new security holes.

I've come to realize that I'm doing all the research and studying on my own and never actually talk about it with others. Maybe I should be part of a community or something, not sure Wanting to reach the next level and maybe someday make a living out of it.

I'll fourth their comments, and welcome aboard, zeroflaw.  I think you'll find EH-net a very good place to start, and if you have something that we dimply don't know, a lot of us are happy to help you find the answers elsewhere.

Good luck with the college pursuit, as well.  I personally NEVER went to college, although, for obvious reasons (many jobs are hesitant to look at you without a degree) there are often times I wish I had.  Who knows, someday, when not hammered with work, the wife, and our kids, I might actually find time to try it, again.  I've never given up on the idea, myself!  The fact that you're still after it is good, and I'm confident you'll make your way through it.

Again, welcome aboard!
