get any decent money from such work.
Q: How does one get a job in reverse engineering?
A: There are hiring threads that appear from time to time on reddit, devoted to RE^21 (2013 Q3, 2014 ). Try looking there.
A somewhat related hiring thread can be found in the “netsec” subreddit:2014 Q2.
Q: I have a question...
A: Send it to me by email (dennis(a)yurichev.com).
About the Korean translation
In January 2015, the Acorn publishing company (www.acornpub.co.kr) in South Korea did a huge amount of work in translating
and publishing my book (as it was in August 2014) into Korean.
It’s now available attheir website.
The translator is Byungho Min (twitter/tais9).
The cover art was done by my artistic friend, Andy Nechaevsky:facebook/andydinka.
They also hold the copyright to the Korean translation.
So, if you want to have arealbook on your shelf in Korean and want to support my work, it is now available for purchase.
