Hello, I'm security defender PR.
I prepared a post to help students who dream of becoming information protection specialists in their career decisions.
I will talk about what I learn when I enter the university information protection department and what field I am an expert in when I graduate.
First of all, the university curriculum does not teach you how to hack.
What? Why? Are you a little flustered?
The reason is that the information protection specialists defend against hacking and find weaknesses in the system and make improvements. And hacking is illegal.
So when do we learn how to hack?
There are many talented hacking clubs in the university.
It's a lab that is built in the school while doing club activities.
Test servers, PCs, and equipment are prepared to actually hack, create websites, upload databases, and communicate with seniors and friends through study groups to improve hacking skills.
It's basic to stay in the club room and stay up all night.
At first, I found a hacking tool, stole the administrator's account on a web server, and found out that it was a "mental and time room" for three months because I was so into the fun of studying ways to bypass the traffic with wireshark.
The amazing thing is that it wasn't hard at all and it was fun. When I lie down to sleep, in my head. I don't think I'll get caught this way, but I think I can bypass IPS...
Anyone can become an information protection expert if they have personal passion and interest.
If you look at schools that have achieved excellent results in world-class hacking competitions as domestic hacking clubs, there are the representative hacking club GoN of KAIST, Plus of Pohang University of Science and Technology Research Club of Korea University, CyKor.
Let's look at two examples.
'In 1996, the Pohang University of Science and Technology system password was changed and all electronic data was deleted.
It is famous for the legendary 'Carpojeon', in which KAIST and Pohang University of Science and Technology's hacking clubs launched hacking attacks on each other's schools.
There's an example of collaboration. In 2010, KAIST – POSTECH combined team took third place in the world's largest hacking competition Defcon, and it was even more impressive to participate in Hanbok.
KAIST and Pohang University of Science and Technology are the best hacking clubs in Korea with so many domestic and foreign hacking competitions and good results.
Next is Korea University Cyber National Defense Department.
It doesn't look as ordinary as the slogan "Future battlefield, Protect Korea in cyberspace."
Korea University and the Ministry of National Defense joined hands and created the department in 2011 to train elite officers in professional information protection.
We offer a full scholarship for four years and 500,000 won per month for the exceptional benefit. The biggest drawback is that you have to serve as an officer for 7 years after graduation.
As a result of the 2018 regular admissions, I asked for higher grades than the local medical school.
CyKor, a research club on hacking technology at Korea University, won the grand prize at the 2017 Japan's largest hacker competition, which drew 4,900 people from 99 countries around the world.
Hacking competitions are usually conducted by selecting the main computer or server, and by hacking and occupying the target system as a team, while defending the attacks that other teams are trying to hack.
Four of the five teams that made it to the Sekoucon final were Korean teams, and it was a competition that properly informed Japan of their hacking skills.
"Long live the Republic of Korea."
There are so many different fields of employment after graduation.
Network programmers, system software developers, system operations managers, web programmers, application software developers, information system operators, information system operators, computer engineering technicians, computer programmers, network administrators, industrial security consultants, industrial security system developers, data analysis experts, security consultants, information system auditors/supervisers.
I've only told you what I thought of, but there are so many.
As such, after graduation, you can get a job in various companies and industries that suit your aptitude and interests.
And as we enter the 5G era of ultra-high speed, super-connectivity, and ultra-delay, information security is one of the most important technologies that connect people and people and things.
In the near future, the dependence of various IT devices, including self-driving cars, AI, big data, intelligent CCTVs, and smart IoT home appliances, as well as the increase in high-capacity data and intelligent cyber threats, will increase rapidly in the combined threat of mass connectivity (mass connectivity) in terms of security.
I hope all of you go to a good university, have a good sense of morality, and develop advanced knowledge to become a great information protection expert.
