^ Are you a beginner, intermediates or advanced in information security?
Re: How Do I Start An Information Security Business In Nigeria? by NigAmbassador: 10:14am On Sep 05, 2015
I can't really rate myself at this moment (but not a beginner)...

I have done series of classroom and online training as regards to Network, information and systems security and PHp/MySQL

I also belong to an association of Cyber Security Experts...

It would be nice sharing great ideas with you...

Fellow hat,

From your resume, you did not mention having clear knowledge of the 4 pillars of this dark-field of elites... Get those 4 pillars, then we can relate better...

^ That's one major problem with some Nigerians - PRIDE. Always looking for ways to bring you down. Do you have problem with my certifications? Why asking me for the 4 pillars before we can relate? I never said I wanted to relate with you at the first instance, did I? Or did I ask you for employment? I open this thread for fresh business ideas and making money from information security in Nigeria.

Fellow Hat,

I do not intend to offend you at all. Beside you must have paid a huge sacrifice in getting those certifications... That I respect..

My reaction is based on what you will get from the outside world as a hat. It isn't pride. Sorry for that anyway...

Wish you well in your future pursuit, but in case you need my input, I will aid you only if you ask the right questions...

We are proudly hackers... We are CSE.

Maybe you should setup an IT consultancy firm, based on your resume up there, you could setup networks, cyber security mechanisms, and general IT frameworks for mid and high range firms.
Cool resumé, by the way

For a startup firm, most cities in Nigeria should do although it would require you to invest in a lot of marketing strategy and implementation. Enugu, Lagos, Abuja, Kano etc would be great and ideal. For a website, it's absolutely essential in this line of business, but a physical address, IMO is a must.

^ From your experience, what's the most effective marketing strategy for an information security expert in Nigeria that will generate more revenue for my information security business? How should I go about networking with other IT firms and schools?

Fellow Hat,

I know a couple of both white, black, blue and Gray hackers... But they are elites, am just an up-coming elite...

I can see the positive value and attitude you have towards this dark-field... Maybe we could hit the deck soonest.

Are you based in lagos?
What's your area of hacking?
What are your strengths and weaknesses?
Can you programme?
What's your level of knowledge in database, networking and Linux?
Can you firewall and write IT Security Policies?
Have you done either a successful or failed hack before?
How good are you with Kali Linux?
Do you have any server administration knowledge?
What area of IT consultancy do you want to specialize in?

Hacking is not just only about certifications... Be a god in it...

^ I'm not in Lagos. My area of specialities are Wifi Hacking, Website Hacking, Web & Mobile Application Hacking, Remote PC Hacking, Applications & Network Vulnerability Assessments, Forensic Investigation, File Recovery, Cryptography, Encryption & Decryption, Decompiling, Reverse Engineering, Disassembly, Debugging, Malwares Worms & Virus Detention, Private Investigation, Botnets Bots Zombies Coding, RAT & Keylogger Installer, Social engineering.....

My strengths are high speed internet connection, steady power supply (light) & 16 gigabyte ram pc

My weakness is my strength vice versa

Yes I can programme very well

I'm very knowledgeable in database, networking and most of my work is done in Linux

Yes I can firewall pc, networks and I can write bullet proof IT security policies

Yes I have done successful and failed hacks before

I started hacking using Kali Linux; metasploit and cobalt strike were my favourite until I upgraded to Core Impact $30,000. Most times I prefer to manually pentest websites, systems, applications and network

I'm very knowledgeable in Web Server, Mail Server, FTP Server, Virtual Server, Proxy Server, IRC Server, Telnet Server.....

I want to specialise in Information Security Consultancy
