Hi everyone , I am a independent security researcher AKA Bug bounty hunter active till few months ago on hackerone and bugcrowd . I love doing bug bounties and more enthusiast towards learning more and more about hacking and security in over all . After my engineering directly made a big jump towards hacking and skipped some important stairs of knowledge mandatory in order to become a better security researcher which was Network Security

Process of security

I did the same , never entered the first base that is networking.
Somehow because of some circumstances i got an opportunity to fulfill this gap and i grabbed it without thinking much . Overall my goal was to have knowledge in multiple domains in security and i am achieving that part nicely.

That’s where CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert) Security came into picture

Exactly what it is

One of the most prestigious and tough certification right now to accomplish in the world of overall cyber security and especially in network security domain.

Entering into this domain was a big deal for me as i was not at all aware of the products , modules . All i had as a pr-requisite was knowledge of hacking/Bug-bounty and good recon tactics .
One thing i knew for sure — How to google for your problems..

And then the most fascinating part came into my knowledge which injected a high dose of adrenaline in me when i got answer of a question

And the answer was — Around 60,000–70,000 in the whole world.

WTF that was awesome , such an expertise certification that only this many people in the world were able to clear it . That gave a boom inside me of opting for this certification in order to make an identity that everyone does not have , and a wonderful road towards cyber security.
