Hasherezade authored a two part series:
Inside the Kronos malware – part 1
Inside the Kronos malware – part 2,
an in depth examination of the Kronos Malware.
It’s heavy sledding but is one example of current work being done by a female hacker. If it seems alien now, return to it after you learn some hacking skills to be properly impressed.
BTW, Hasherezade has a blog at: hasherezade’s 1001 nights
PS: There’s a lot of talk about white-hats and black-hats in the cybersecurity community.
My question would be: “What color hat are you paying me to wear? Otherwise, it’s really none of your concern.”
