How impressive are my computer skills, and what can I use them for?
<<->> How impressive are my computer skills, and what can I use them for? <<->>
Programming languages I know:
> Java
> C
> C++
> Some Visual Basic
Things I have done:
> Sent a Ping Flood attack to website and crashed it (which I regret)
> A little bit of Bitcoin mining
> Installed a Litecoin miner on my iPad
> Jailbreaked my iPhone
> Rooted my 2 Android phones
> Removed tons of viruses manually
> Coded my own "viruses" (fork bombs, file bombs etc)
> Coded my own keylogger
> Flashed the BIOS memory on a laptop by taking out the the BIOS battery from the motherboard and plugging it in again.
> Installed Windows 2000 on Oracle VirtualBox and then ran some viruses to see how they worked.
> Installed MSDos 6.21 on Oracle VirtualBox.
> Installed FreeDos on a USB stick and then booted it up on one of my laptops
> Installed Windows 3.1 on my Android phone by downloading a Win 3.1 ISO file and then extracting the contents onto the SD card and then booting it up using a ported version of DOSBox.
By the way, I'm Way too young to get job since I'm only 13 years old. Since I can't get a job, what should I use my skills for?
Oh, and I know my skills are impressive, but how impressive are they for someone my age?
Very; I've only really just started learning C++ and I'm 21.
I worked with computers at your age and managed to master key areas in both the software and hardware side of things. So you'll definitely find things easier in the computing area when you start going off to collage or University.
Depends what you enjoy. To list some:
Application/software development (end user programs (GUI.
Low level programming (system drivers, high speed backbone applications)
Network security (preventing flood attacks, setting up ports, access control lists etc)
General computer technician (repairs, setups etc)
My advise to you? Definitely venture into one of those areas early if you enjoy it. At 13 you've definitely got potential to go far from what you've achieved so far.
EDIT: That comment above is the most stupid thing I have ever heard. Yes every one can learn it, but not everyone can fully understand it and put it to good use. Yes you can program, but do you have the logic to create your own efficient and stable algorithms. Yes people can learn about security, but do you have the mindset to see past the security and find security holes to patch them up.
It's all about logical thinking and quick reactions whilst being efficient at it. In other words, everyone can do that but the ones that really come out on top and shine are the ones challenging themselves and going beyond the limits and making something new.
The way forward is Alien Embedded systems communications.
Learn to program microchips to control various simple hardwares.
Here is a link to microchip so you can see what I'm talking about:

However there are way's to learn but for a lot less money if you investigate.
- If i sync my iPhone to my computer will it take my photos off my phone and put them on the computer? I need to have my phone synced for the app zedge but i don't want my photos to be taken off my phone. There's this bar and on it it says photos, app, ect. And next to it is a little button that says sync. So IIm guessing it will take my photos. But i don't want that to happen but i need to sync my phone. Is there anyway i can do it without having my pictures going on to the computer?
- If I download songs to my IPhone and uninstall them, do I have to buy them again? The problem is I bought some songs but now I want to delete them so I can put some fresh new songs but I still want the songs for my IPod. So if I delete them from my IPhone, will I have to buy them again? More information will be added if needed, thanks in advance, hope I explained it right.
- I have an iPhone 7 but when I try to call and FaceTime it doesn't work. I can't hear them and they can hear me? Also my microphone doesn't work. When I put my earphones in they don't work either. But my phone charges. Someone please help me
- Do any of your young kids have a talent that you find clever or impressive? My little musician is almost 4 and has an incredible love and memory for music. Not kiddie music he loves listening to our iPods and iPhones and memorizes the songs. My hubby has a lot of rap music and he can sit there and go from song to song and rap them almost word for word (clean of course), my hubby tests him and plays a song from his phone or pandora and he will tell you the artist. Maybe I'm being biased because he's my kid but i think hes a musical genius!
