>>51015142Rule of thumb: No one who "hacks" professionally calls themselves a "hacker".
Avoid the following terms:
-Hacking
-Cracking
-Cybersecurity
-Cyber
Actual terms used:
-Infosec (information security)
-Netsec
-Appsec
-CNA
-CNO
-Pentesting (penetration testing)
You generally need a strong background in several aspects of technology. Strong IT and networking fundamentals to start with, and also decent software development skills for most jobs. Depending on specialization, strong knowledge of one or more of cryptography, complex network architecture, web frameworks, processor architectures/assembly, and reverse engineering are also required.
