Here is a conversation I just had with my son on Mon.
Jermey: Mom tell you that I'm going to Certified Ethical Hacker school?? This is for my job in Hawaii when I transfer.
Me: I take it is a little more involved than DDOS attacks to bring down servers, lol Are schooling now or when you get to hawaii?
Jeremy: When I get to Hawaii. I'm going to be a red team hacker on a National Cyber Protection Team. 26 Cyber Protection Team is what I'm on. 39 man team with 4 leaders, then broken down to 5 teams(Red, Blue, Green, White, and Hunt).
We'll have a 24hr deployablity notice to go on missions. It's going to be awesome! CEH is just one school they send me to when I get there. There's an advanced networking school and then another advanced school. They told me to get familiar with the Kali program. It's a free exploitation tool.
Me: Can you say what kind of deployments a hacker would go on?
Jeremy: It would be going to sites, not sure if it will be Military sites or agencies, and inspecting. Pretty much infiltrating networks however I can. But the Cyber Protection Teams have 4 levels.
There's Navy CPTs, handling navy units/commands then DISA, not sure what exactly commands they would go to. then PACOM, which would be joint commands including all branches and/or other countries militarys. Then the National CPTs, which I'm on. We're the top level team. Not sure yet what that means, haha. Just talked to a guy at the command the other day.
Not many people know what they do at this command, it's a really new command. No one on my team has even checked in yet.
Me: So at what level will you not be able to send us emails or talk to us on facebook because you are to far into the security of the United States?
Jeremy: Pretty much when I start working there. They don't use unclass or secret networks. They operate on a higher network.

Is that the special where they talked about StuxNet and interviewed the magazine writer who had his ID stolen and deleted because of Amazon's security loophole?

Yep.
Still interesting he second time around.
Some things are meant to be closed. Your mind isn't one of them.
