Hi HN, I&#x27;ve got a bit of a problem:<p><pre><code>    - I know how to write really secure code.
    - I know how to identify security vulnerabilities in other
      peoples&#x27; code.
    - I don&#x27;t know how to make a living doing this. (I&#x27;d like to.)
</code></pre>
I&#x27;ve tried to break into &quot;consulting&quot; as per the advice patio11 gives people, but I&#x27;m fucking up badly and not getting a single lead. (I don&#x27;t have an existing professional social network to fall back on either. Most of the people I know are poor college students and independent artists.)<p>I already publish plenty of stuff on OSS Sec, Full Disclosure, etc. and I&#x27;m active on Github helping to identify and close vulnerabilities in open source projects. (All of this is under a different identity than the one I&#x27;m currently using on HN, for reasons.)<p>Any ideas?
