Interested in information and network security? Maybe you’ve done some hacking in your time? Want to turn it into a career? InfoSec Career Hacking will fill the gaps in what you know, and accelerate you in the right direction.In Part I, you’ll review the career paths available to you, understand the skills you’ll need, investigate companies you might want to work for, and get practical knowledge about everything from security clearances to successful interviewing. Part II turns to the technical side. The authors start by introducing basic security principles, review the classes of attack, and walk you through setting up your own “attack lab” for hands-on practice. Then, once you’re hired, Part III shows how to succeed at your new assignment – addressing everything from project management to effective communication.
