I’m currently trying to make sense of a binary file that is used by a proprietary program to import data.

The file is generated on a server out of my control but I’m able to see that some kind of key is being sent alongside the data. (To encrypt it?)

How would one approach something like this? Where could I look for freelancers who are able to help with this?

I’m too young and missed the Solaris era. Are there still valid usecases for Solaris today? Or ist this just to support some legacy systems that can’t be upgraded?

I’m based in Germany. Currently building a webservice with lots of different integrations, mostly Python. We basically build the whole thing, choosing our own stack. On my day-to-day I work on developing the platform but also on integration and lots of management to bring multiple parties on the same page.

I’m charging 100 EUR per hour which seems in line with what others with the same amount of expierence are charging. The client I’m currently working for contacted me through a freelancer platform here in Germany.

With me, there are three other devs working on the platform. I was their “first hire”, leading the team. Other team members charge a bit less at around 75 EUR per hour.

That sounds super interesting! I’m still on a contract for at least 4 months. Is there a way to reach you? Mail?

Reading about CISSP, this is listed as a requirement: - Possess a minimum of five years of direct full-time security work experience in two or more of the (ISC)² information security domains (CBK).

Looks more like an intermediate/senior level kind of certificate?

I’m currently making the 120k EUR as a contractor which means I have no benefits. I have to pay health insurance, retirement plan, my work laptop, office space, etc. which is normally covered by your employer (at least here in Germany).

I think it’s comparable to 85k - 95k EUR/year if you are employed.

That’s a good idea! Did you actively plan to change your path or was that something that just happened because it was interesting to you?
