@dalias @chort @wdormann sounds great, this vision of a gifted terrorist who is also an excellent accountant / housekeeper. i'd love to meet them.
my first job was in infosec, it was quite formative and i don't regret it at all, but it wasn't very creative. now i do gamedev, and there's a good reason i don't dabble with network protocols [though still so many vectors - mods, for example]. i try to be as little a nuisance as possible.
