<div>Subject: Re: [Security Forum] MENTOR NEEDED </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div dir="ltr">Nice troll Thomas.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Mwanah, feel free to reach out on chat and I will assist. I also set out my career in InfoSec because of guidance from a wide set of mentors and a hunger to learn. Couple of pointers</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1. Passion from the mentee accounts for a large portion of the contribution to the relationship and the mentor just has to have the willingness to share information.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2. As Dan said, mentioned. The Africahackon community and other Cyber fora are good places for free-flowing information. Just get in touch with anyone who attends the conferences.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>3. A good PC/laptop is paramount. Set up quickly, dual boot *nix and windows for ease of testing your PoC, alternatively use virtual machines or bootable disks. Download Kali which is a good foundation OS -
<a href="https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-vmware-virtualbox-image-download/">
https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-vmware-virtualbox-image-download/</a> Youtube/google university and dumps of eBooks provide you with a lot of learning.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>4. Explore! The potential in this industry presents a lot of opportunities. I chose InfoSec consulting as I learn very wide concepts and see them in action in different companies while interacting with many professionals.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Have a great weekend. Hope this helps you or someone on this forum.</div>
