Imagine RM 12K in your account.. because of your effort and passion...

Friends don't get jealous of each other or begrudge for finding success. They celebrate every victory together.

        Assalamualaikum. Yesterday, I was impressed by my friend’s achievements. He is Iman Irfan. Let’s talk about the first thing that he has revealed to us. He said that he got a job at one of a German company. I mean like boek siaaa. The company’s name is Daimler, an automative company. He is hired as a penetration tester. The office is in KL for 15 years and they want to build a small PenTesting Team here. Last year during the three months holiday, we had always knew that he had not sleeping at night learning some hacking systems I thought he just did because he was bored. It eventually becomes his passion. It seems like his efforts paid off. 

        I mean like he’s figuring out thing by himself and yes he’s taking a course related to hacking I guess, but he goes deeper than his syllabus. He told us that he signed up HackTheBox, an online platform to test and advance the skills in penetration testing and cyber security. Ok let’s sign up for this! Lol no. I could not stay in front of computer in hours. Don’t you think it’s amazing? I mean like he seems like getting a bright future. It is like he already secured a job after finishing his study. He had ever sent us a pdf report full of coding and of course I am noob and it is not easy to understand at all. So, he had an interview in last April and he already took the assessment given by the company. 

        The next day after taking the interview, he informed us that he succeeded getting the job. He told us he is already in final year, after finishing the internship he will get absorbed by the company. That’s awesome! He had ever entered the competition. I don’t know but they always talk about CTF (Capture The Flag). I googled it and it said that CTF is a traditional outdoor game where two teams each have a flag and the objective is to capture the other team's flag, located at the team's "base," and bring it safely back to their own base. Well I still don’t get it. I mean like if it was a real life I imagined it was a game like usually play by Running Man I guess lol. 

        The competition was CAN YOU 24-HOUR HACKATHON brought by HongLeong Bank. After that day he informed us he did not win but he was in a top ten. It was a good accomplishment duh! For me, if I was to enter any competition being the top ten already good enough haha! Another thing, he is a program manager of Entrepreneur club in his university. He handled several big programs. Wow how could he??? Idk but when I was getting involved in any event in my university nothing was interesting. I guess I was not being with my circle. He is really productive at this age. While me I still figure out what I want to do with my days and future besides finishing my study. 

        Oh yep I guess he entered another competition. This time he won the third prize. I think he told us the first prize was RM 15K, second prize was RM 7K and third prize was RM 3K. Perform bossku!! I think he will enter another challenge which is Cyber Security Challenge which will be held on August. I hope he will win again and gain another motivation to go further in his passion. So yesterday, I don’t know but Iman mentioned that “bug bounty aku jumpa dah masuk”. I don’t know what did it mean but it showed he got RM 12K in his saving account. Wowerz! Everyone in the group sending their account number including me pls im broke ;’( haha! 

        He said that he wanted to lanje us makan makan~ huyyo that’s so nice of him. With that money, he could have getting married lol. But he said he wanted to get an Offensive Security Certified Pentester (OSCP) certificate which is the price of it is RM 8K. Whatever decision that he will decide to do I hope the best for him and keep it up duh Iman!! I am like a proudest sis here, bruh! Kbye.
