I assure you there's nothing nefarious on my motive. I work in the field that most lay people would understand as Ethical Hacking. There are a hundred ways to say it, but the career is highly sought after. Companies these days have strong web and cloud presence, and with that comes high risk of exposure to attack by nefarious people. Lets say you owned such a company, if you wanted to secure your assets from nefarious hacker types, wouldn't it make sense to hire someone who knows the tricks of the trade that a malicious hacker would try to deploy against you? If I hired a guy that claimed to be a network security guy and in reality he only really knew how to set some firewall and WAF rules, and maybe an intrusion detection system, would this guy be most effective in securing your web applications and assets? Or, would a guy who studied how to create specific virus reverse shell code and utilized BASH shell wildcard exploits to bypass the WAF and upload said shell, compromise your web host via this shell, and proceed to pivot into your network to other computers? Most would say the second guy would be more effective, and if this person worked for you and had your permission to try this against your systems to see if they were indeed vulnerable to such attacks, you, the owner would have confidence that you are protected from more nefarious acts. In order for this guy to work in an ethical manner and with your companies permission to attack your company as a bad guy would, this person would need to know what bad guys know. This is where they coin the phrase "Ethical Hacker", and this field is absolutely booming, for which I can attest first hand as I do it for a living. My purpose here is two-fold, One is I would like to bring a more diverse events offering than what we currently see every day and night in SL. Instead of the normal DJ this, live music that, make a teacup out of prims, sort of events dominating the landscape, a class in teaching skills for a career in cyber security to me would be highly interesting to see. Second, I talk to people all the time that ask me how they break into this cybersecurity field, as the normal payscale for qualified individuals is around 70k - 200k a year. I know from experience being an instructor for Microsoft, Comptia, ECCouncil and the like, that we live in a world of certifications. All of these employers for this field are looking for certifications in order for you to get an interview. The main 2 are Security + and Certified Ethical Hacking. Personally, I know there are better ones than these two, but these are usually what you need to get an interview. So my ultimate purpose is to provide some instruction for those interested in this field, provide diversity of events in second life, and develop a monetized business with it in the process. As for the question about bad guys now learning this stuff and doing bad things... trust me when I say this, they already are finding sources of info to do this outside of even what I would teach.
