What was the process like to obtain top secret clearance?

Intensive background checks (family background checks, criminal records and surveillance).
Interviews with psychologists and polygraph to confirm what you’ve said in the checks and interviews.

Regarding what they’re looking for behind the scenes. I’m not quite sure, yet, it’s pretty obvious - trustworthy person, with clear background that they can trust. In addition, they look for certain skills that depends on the position you’re being interviewed to.

Was already answered. So I'd quote the previous answer:

How did I get the job?
I applied to typical cyber security jobs. The interviews looked like a usual job interviews. After the interviews (over 12) I had to sign NDA and was invited to do a polygraph test as a part of the security clearance. I didn’t know exactly what or who until I joined.

How do I know the information isn’t in the wrong hands?
I don’t. But I trust the people I work with to do their job. Everyone was hand-picked.

I can tell that the full application process took over a year and a half!

What’s the purpose of the organization?
Unfortunately, I can’t seem to figure out a way to discuss this without hinting towards which organization that is.[DOUBLEPOST=1567698109][/DOUBLEPOST]
My parents know exactly what you know - that I work for a top secret organization. Nothing more than that.

They’re very understanding and they know I can’t tell them which so they don’t ask.
I think they would be proud if they knew what I do there.

How lucky am I to work for Moonsworth as well, so I have what to discuss over dinner :rofl:

Bumping this thread so new people will see this and perhaps have some new questions

Whats your pay.

Lucky guy
Ever get tempted to abuse your power?

 

[MaccariTA]

Whats your pay.

Decent. The private market absolutely dominates when it comes to $.

Haha, thanks.
Well... I thought how cool it would be if I could do whatever I wanted.
But the risk is just not worth it.

what is the age requirement?

The age requirement is the legal age to work in a full-time job (18 years old).

[NJ_]

How extensive are the background checks, supposing I ... ehm ... might be applying for a feeder scheme for one :monkaS:

 

[nircniv]

Other than the NDA etc... Does it feel like a normal job?

 

[Shizuka]

My mans owns the dark web

 

[TehSteel]

Will you make a more youtube video or will you make all your private videos public?

 

[MaccariTA]

Tell us how much u be makin tho

~8K USD

Other than the NDA etc... Does it feel like a normal job?

Absolutely no. This is exactly what keeps me and others from going to the private market that offers a lot more $.
You can actually see the outcome of your work a lot better than in other places, there's a lot of action and interesting stuff going on.
It's always changing, you'll most likely not work on the same thing for more than a few days in a row.

I can tell you that I have a friend that moved to the private market for the $ and he always tell me how boring it is outside, although he makes like 2-3 times the money I do.[DOUBLEPOST=1570361714][/DOUBLEPOST]

Will you make a more youtube video or will you make all your private videos public?

Again, not really thread related - you can PM me.
Anyhow, I quit because I didn't have the time and I didn't enjoy Minecraft PvP anymore, videos were removed - they aren't private.
I hope I'll be able to come back to YouTube soon, however, I will most likely not make just Minecraft videos.

Just like anything else you wish to learn.
There are tons of ways to learn - YouTube, books, courses and more.

A tip?
Cyber security is a huge subject - I’d say start with sub-subjects that interests you.

As a simple example -

Cyber Security -> Hacking -> Web Hacking -> OWASP Top 10 -> SQL Injection -> SQL

The lower you go - the more accurate information you will find. Always start with the basic, you need to have a solid base to understand more complicated stuff. (i.e You need to know SQL to understand)

Now the thing is, modern websites prevent sequel injection by input cleansing etc, would you say you're more of a white hat or black hat?

and funny dev question
do u pronounce sql like S.Q.L (separate letters) or sequel

and surely you must've learned more than just SQL, maybe php idfk, what did you start with?

I got a pretty cool job which is under an NDA smh
but do u have any proof u work there? idk

I do both white & black hat stuff at work. I wouldn't say it's gray, because some things, are definitely "black".
But technically speaking, you can say it's all white, because there's permission and it's legal.

I pronounce S.Q.L, lmao.
I started with what interests me and I've learnt over time whatever I needed and found interesting.

Regarding proof, you can PM me.[DOUBLEPOST=1570366821][/DOUBLEPOST]
