Near the age of 9-10, I was given a computer by one of our family's computer friends. I knew him very well and he taught me a lot. I was very invested, I did some nefarious acts against some people I didn't like growing up. I began in the days of Yakuze, snoopy,qbot, Maria,ddos panels, and so much more it was a great time to begin. I Was in the breach forums breach and the hack that took down the doxbin.But I knew I had a mission and that was to become somewhat of a security expert. So I spun up my first Kali Linux machine from a video from Networkchuck using a virtual box. I did my first CTF.
