I have been into computers since as long as I can keep in mind. When I was 7 we had an old Mac OS 8, using 1MB floppy disks. I use to locate it exciting when we were on dial-up, and I could listen in on what my parents had been saying on the phone. I still keep in mind the day when my father came residence and said, “Look! I discovered this neat thing known as a zip drive, every disk holds 100MB of data!”. At the time, it only took 10 of these incredible disks to backup our whole difficult drive. When I was 13 I began getting into things like Photoshop and Flash. At the age of 14 I learned HTML, PHP/MySQL, and learned some fundamental Linux server administration. I also learned tips on how to keep my coding secure, learning about basic attack strategies like SQL injection and cross site scripting. At 15 I moved on to perl, C++, and analysis of personal computer security. By the time I hit 16 (last September) I had been pretty fluent in reverse engineering, programming, and needless to say, pc security. Anyways, now I'm 18 and life is great.
