    You need people who can read and debug machine code and dig through hex and binary in cybersecurity.

    I use ghidra and IDA pro literally every week. And if you don’t know how to use hexdump, you shouldnt be using those tools in the job.

    Binary exploitation is common.

    So no, but you literally should be able to read machine code, and parse hex/binary in my field.

    100%.











  • Literally had a former co-worker who has taught computer science classes at universities, ran his own PC repair business, and avoids the command line like the plague. Says it feels ancient.

    If you’re under 30 and read this and have been on the fence about getting good with computers… Just setup a Linux VM and play around with the terminal. You’ll be leagues beyond so many active professionals it’s scary.
