I was most interested in physical pentesting

2017-07-26 19:32:43 UTC  

and the place I was working at prior to building my company was an Airline

2017-07-26 19:33:23 UTC  

I introduced physical pentesting to them after pushing them for months that I could walk around without being challenged

2017-07-26 19:33:31 UTC  

on an active airport

2017-07-26 19:33:44 UTC  

My director didnt listen

2017-07-26 19:33:50 UTC  

so I went to the CFO

2017-07-26 19:33:55 UTC  

who is German

2017-07-26 19:34:32 UTC  

I told him that I could break into his office, steal his credentials and use them to get into most areas of one of the hangars that is locked down

2017-07-26 19:34:49 UTC  

he liked my arrogance

2017-07-26 19:34:53 UTC  

and I proved myself

2017-07-26 19:35:01 UTC  

you have to take risks

2017-07-26 19:35:13 UTC  

dont be scared to ask for opportunities to do more

2017-07-26 19:35:26 UTC  

and if people are not willing to listen, then go above them

2017-07-26 19:35:40 UTC  

and make sure you can back your ass up

2017-07-26 19:35:56 UTC  

Anyways

2017-07-26 19:36:02 UTC  

moral of the story

2017-07-26 19:36:35 UTC  

My escapades got around

2017-07-26 19:36:48 UTC  

I got job offers by DHS and TSA

2017-07-26 19:37:14 UTC  

I turned them down and used some of my contacts as my first customer base

2017-07-26 19:37:19 UTC  

started moonlighting

2017-07-26 19:37:54 UTC  

after several months, I voluntarily ended my contract 3 days before it expired

2017-07-26 19:38:00 UTC  

and started CTI.SEC

2017-07-26 19:38:09 UTC  

partnered with a long-time friend and colleague

2017-07-26 19:38:42 UTC  

very cool to turn down what's prob cushy jobs to make it on your own

2017-07-26 19:38:58 UTC  

that is very cool

2017-07-26 19:39:23 UTC  

question, and please do not take this the wrong way, did you have wealthy parents?

2017-07-26 19:39:28 UTC  

no

2017-07-26 19:39:32 UTC  

I grew up poor as fuck

2017-07-26 19:39:46 UTC  

father was a coke head and alcoholic

2017-07-26 19:39:50 UTC  

mom was an enabler

2017-07-26 19:39:59 UTC  

excellent

2017-07-26 19:40:18 UTC  

with no excitement for your misfortune, that's exactly what I was hopeful to hear

2017-07-26 19:40:18 UTC  

I had to raise my sister

2017-07-26 19:40:45 UTC  

hearing that someone overcame personal and family struggles makes the achievement sound even greater.

2017-07-26 19:40:53 UTC  

very cool of you.

2017-07-26 19:41:01 UTC  

most of it was out of necessity

2017-07-26 19:41:08 UTC  

of course

2017-07-26 19:41:27 UTC  

the business side of things was because I was tired of answering to other people

2017-07-26 19:41:34 UTC
