mikegambino 0 #1 October 25, 2008 Ummm, introduction I guess. Well, I'm 15. Pretty cool I guess. Certified Information Security Specialist. I Specialize in web-application security. Some call me a hacker. But I'm not, at least not a malicious one. I prefer pay rather than public recognition for my work. Anyways, moving on. I've never been skydiving. As a matter of fact, I've been told by law your not allowed to go skydiving before you're 16(not sure if its actually true). But I enjoy aviation. I just seek thrills, thats why I'm here.

JustChuteMeNow 0 #2 October 25, 2008 Hello Mike, There was another skydiver on this forum recently who was not yet 18 and he also wanted to get into this sport. His user name is Korbin and you remind me of him. Korbin stated that he was a developer for a media firm that does websites and so it sounds like you will have some things in common. Send him a PM and he might be able to shed some light on his experiences regarding this issue. Good luck Mike and remember to not feed the trolls. I forget that once in a while.Think of how stupid the average person is and realize that statistically half of them are stupider than that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikegambino 0 #4 October 26, 2008 lol. Well, sure I guess I might have to find Korbin. And, my Mom, couldn't care less. And my dad, well, he was in the 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment. He's only done static line. But he would like to go skydiving as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOSTandCRAZY 0 #6 October 28, 2008 CISSP? I doubt it, requires MANY years actually IN the biz. "Requirements Candidates for the CISSP must meet several requirements: Possess a minimum of five years of direct full-time security work experience in two or more of the ten ISC2 information security domains (CBK). One year may be waived for having either a four-year college degree, a Master's degree in Information Security, or for possessing one of a number of other certifications from other organizations[8]. Attest to the truth of their assertions regarding professional experience and accept the CISSP Code of Ethics.[9]. Answer four questions regarding criminal history and related background.[10] Pass the CISSP exam with a scaled score of 700 points or greater. The exam is multiple choice, consisting of 250 questions with four options each, to be answered over a period of six hours.[10] Have their qualifications endorsed by another (ISC)² certified professional in good standing. The endorser attests that the candidate's assertions regarding professional experience are true to the best of their knowledge, and that the candidate is in good standing within the information security industry." Your mama. You're not a hacker, just a kiddie. Script kiddie at that. Skydiving? That's for grown folks. Stick to X-box. How do I know? 13.5 years IN the biz. Been there, done that, now I'm bored, so I skydive. I may be a noob at skydiving, with 9 jumps, but the InfoSec field? Please...... not so much. The GOVERNMENT wishes that they knew what I know....... Again, being the responsible adult here, and the same thing I tell my kids: Wait until you're 18, and can make your own decisions, responsibly. If you're allowed to make your "own" decisions BEFORE that age? Or are emancipated? BAD PARENTS. BAD, BAD, BAD. Because you have to live with the responsibilites of adulthood, and the consequences of such, while you may NOT be equipped. You may just fuck up someone ELSE'S life besides your own. Ask ME how I know. This is skydiving, where other people are in the air, too, and you have to watch out for them, and sometimes, may have to make VERY HARD downwind landings (hurting yourself in the process) to avoid someone who's not looking out, just to save you both. Are you mature enough to worry about the lives of others, and put them before your personal safety? I doubt it. Yeah, it's like that. That's life. Legs heal, a bruised ass hurts for a week or two. But a canopy collision at 500 ft? Are you ready for that? Sorry to call you out, bro, but I'm a grown man, and I may just save your life. Or at the VERY least, prevent you from fucking it up, or not having one at all. And possibly taking someone ELSE'S in the process. That being said: Skydiving RULES! WOOOOOOOOOO HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But you, my friend, need to wait a while, in my opinion."Get these balls!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikegambino 0 #7 November 1, 2008 Certified information Security Specialist, is different from the CISSP certification. To be come a Certified Information Security Specialist, all you have to do is obtain an information security related certification. If I had the CISSP certification I would have said so, in this manner, "I have the CISSP certification from [vendor]"(comptia I think.) And as for script kiddie, lemme know when you've written your own OS, malware, AV. k, smartass? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LOSTandCRAZY 0 #8 November 1, 2008 Compiling a custom Linux Kernel is not exactly writing your own OS. I doubt that at 15 you have the mathematical knowledge to complete that endeavor. Too much low-level I/O involved, that simply is beyond your comprehension. This stuff takes YEARS to learn. Invoking BIOS interrupts, using interrupt 13h to load the boot sector into memory location 0x5000, macros, then using make at the shell prompts.... That's just the boot sequence, then the millions of lines of kernel code that follow, not to mention writing the device driver for every single bit of hardware in your box? Linus Torvalds writes operating systems, Linus Torvalds and the other THOUSANDS of people who donated code to the project. You're telling me that YOU ALONE created an OS? Kids, go figure."Get these balls!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikegambino 0 #9 November 2, 2008 Me and 6 other people yes. We completely overhauled Fedora Core 9. All I had to do was modify the C-shell. Which you may or may not have ever heard of the C shell. It's just a shell like Bourne and Bourne-Again(BASH). Which btw, is not exactly easy. Also, when you have identified, exploited, and then solved problems in high-level web applications, you can talk shit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LOSTandCRAZY 0 #10 November 2, 2008 You go, little guy. Do your thing. Just wait until you're 18 to skydive. "Also, when you have identified, exploited, and then solved problems in high-level web applications, you can talk shit." Been in the biz for 14 years. Been talking "shit" for many more than that..... but thanks for your permission! Guess I'm done w/ THIS thread now, lol."Get these balls!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't mind. It happens a lot. And as for being responsible enough to put someone elses safety before mine, I am not yet. That's why in 2 months, when my son(hopefully a son) is born(yeah, I know, bad mistake at 15. but I didn't do it on purpose), I won't be taking care of him. At least not by myself. In fact, probably very little, for a while. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TEXX56 0 #13 November 4, 2008 yeah you only have to wait until your 16 like i did and it is a rush cant wait till i get my A license Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LOSTandCRAZY 0 #14 November 4, 2008 Yeah, no worries man, just trying to use some extreme examples to stir your mind a little. I've had too many beers for a witty retort today, so maybe you should ask your parents. You are their responsibility, after all. But in MY opinion, still wait until you're 18......."Get these balls!"

mikegambino 0 #16 November 12, 2008 Errr, We changed the standard shell completely, as well as modified the version of the new shell we put in place of the BASH. And, every single operating system out there(just a generalization) was made for one purpose, to complete the tasks of the developer(s). So, there was nothing really wrong with it. We just wanted a cool distro that we could distribute to our friends. We wanted to make it, sort of a cross between fedora, and the backtrack series. We(I) also wrote a driver for my lexmark X5250, because there were none for linux. Although I couldn't use the lexmark all-in-one photo center, it still allowed me to print whatever I wanted.

skinnay 0 #17 November 12, 2008 So there was nothing wrong with it, but you still "changed the standard shell completely"? What did you do to it? I'm just curious.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikegambino 0 #18 November 16, 2008 lol. Were you not reading. I replaced the BASH with the C shell. Then proceeded to add a whois feature to the shell, because the version of the C-shell I was using(not sure which one, as it had been modified previously) did not have one... done asking questions?

A whois feature to the c shell? haha. I'm going to do my best and refrain from making fun of you. I'm just going to say if you ever do decide to skydive and still have this attitude that you think you know everything you're gonna end up dead real fast.
