Hello and welcome to this podcast series that is going to focus on the various fields of cybersecurtiy. Although I will attempt to cover various fields, I will focus more on vulnerability researchers (VR). If you want to learn more about reverse engineering, what it's like to work in VR, and other exploitations, follow my podcast :)

Pinkflawd - Malware Reverse Engineering
In this episode, we sit down with Pinkflawd, a talented reverse engineer to explore her unique journey into the field. She shares how she first got involved in reverse engineering through a women-only competition and offers advice for newcomers interested in following a similar path. We discuss her school background, her work detecting malware in the cloud, and her professional experience at some big companies.
She talks about her involvement with BlackHoodie, her favorite reverse engineering tools, and contributions to open-source projects like Radare.
We also dive into the challenges of working in the industry, staying motivated, dealing with failure, and handling imposter syndrome. She also offers insights on preparing and giving technical talks, and shares a story about analyzing a nation-state sponsored malware.
Finally, we discuss her thoughts on VR, potential future projects, and wrap up with parting tips for aspiring security researchers.
