Who is the oldest person here?

I am trying to be born.

I wonder if there’s more of these +65 chill grampas who took hacking computers as a hobby after retirement, are you here Mr.Allister?

23 xD

40!!

I’m 30 and here for many of the reasons others are, currently work in IT but want to move into a penetration testing role.

Serious question, in some jobs age can be a factor in whether or not you get the job and progression. Is that the case with pen testing? If I land my first pen testing job at say 35 or for others 40+ etc. Do we have a chance against those just leaving uni with a masters in cyber security? Can any hiring managers chime in? I’d really appreciate hearing the reality of this.

I’m 24 :smiley: !
Btw age means nothing if you love what you doing!

10 years in network/firewall engineering, recently moved to a security (but not pentest) role. I already passed my OSCP, now thinking of challenging offshore or rastalabs

I am 32, last year I have started going to school (System Integration Specialist) and meanwhile found my love for pentesting and protecting networks. Eager to learn this, sadly in my city there are no people to which I could talk or be mentored.

47, started my oscp trip 1 year and a half ago, got it after 9 months, got my first junior pentesting job 6 months ago. And my motto is: it’s ALWAYS too late, lol.

60, and def the strongest I’ve ever been.

I am 20 years old

I am getting 18. Does anyone have suggestion for me?
