Just bought the book, thanks for the recommendation! Can you share more about how the opportunity to become an ethical hacker came to fruition for you?

I’m glad to hear! And sure! I got to know a person (via instagram) who is working in cyber and they posted on their story that their company has a 6 months academy training to become an ethical hacker. So I asked them if it would make sense for me to apply there and after couple months I started learning hacking in the academy! And now I have been working as a security consultant on the same company for year and a half ☺️
