A lot of the emails sent to me ask a basic question: Just how does one break into computer security or what skills should you learn to get that first security job. Lately though, I have been receiving many more queries on specifically how one can leverage an existing skill set to become an information-technology security analyst.

The list of skills that I presented were not an exhaustive one. Also as mentioned, I said that if you wish to specialize in web app security that you will need to build upon the base of skills that I listed. I'm not sure why you equate skill with explaining what a buffer overflow, or SQL injection is. Pretty much any sys admin can tell you what both of those are. It would seem that you, like many other people, are looking down your nose at the sys admins of the world. Sadly that is a prejudice I have seen many, many times. Thanks for taking the time to send in your comments.
