You are one of the top students in your university’s computer science program of 100 students,
and you have agreed to meet with a recruiter
from the Department of Homeland Security. Over
dinner, he talks to you about the increasing threat
of cyberterrorist attacks launched on the United
States by foreign countries and the need to
counter those attacks. The agency has a strong
need for people that can both develop and
defend against zero-day exploits that could be
used to plant malware in the software used by the
government and military computers. At the end
of the dinner, the recruiter turns to you and asks:
“Would such a role be of interest to you?” How do
you respond?
