Cyber Security Interests

My life will be complete if I am able to achieve the position of an information security specialist for a private company. A runner up to that would be working for the government with some kind of cyber security or technology position. These are my dream jobs because I highly enjoy knowing what other people don’t know and being able to do a job that only I am specialized to do. As of right now I am not highly experienced with security and I was hoping this class would help me get a little more experience to achieve my goal of getting a job in the computer field. I will feel accomplished if i can get one of these jobs.


I like to play Video games and security is also important in video games. one way is that when you start to play a game you have to make an account and give some of your information like your email, first name last name, etc. video game companies have to have a way to protect this information. one example is in a game I play called fortnite, when I made an account I gave them my email and first name if they were to get hacked my information would be free to the public because my email is connected to almost all of my other accounts. If someone were to have access to this information my security may be in danger.
Physical security seems interesting because I watch a youtuber named Ally Law and what he does is climb to the roofs of buildings and takes pictures for his instagram. I think it would be cool if I could find ways to protect buildings and break into buildings. Most of the buildings that Ally Law climb are under construction. He gets into these buildings so easily because they have little security. The security guards in the videos learn ways to stop Ally Law from breaking in and he is improving the overall security of the buildings.
Social engineering is also known as human hacking. You can get someone to give you access to certain networks just by talking to them. For example I watched this one video where someone was able to get into a company network using social engineering. What he did was created a website where when you click on a link on the website you give the hacker full access to your computer. If your computer happens to have access to the whole company network then your company is in risk. I think this is cool and I would like to try this or learn more about it because it is a very interesting concept. I feel that I can be very good at this.
