Am In Lag, I Need A Job. by adeolagbemi: 10:59am On Sep 04, 2016 |
hi guys, I just came to Lagos last week. I need a job. am a web developer and very good in Java too. any advice? |
Re: Am In Lag, I Need A Job. by larisoft: 6:03am On Sep 05, 2016 |
Do you have a portfolio of at least 5 serious apps u ve worked on? (I don't mean index page Web templates) You should add it here. Some big boys are watching. Then connect with some gurus in Lagos like dhtml. Finally, try finding and hacking a site, then send the results of ur exploits to the sites owners. That works all the time. If all fails, consider joining a tech firm near you for free. If ur good, opportunities will assail u before 2 months elapse. Good luck bro. This field is heavily sought after. You ll get something soon. 2 Likes |

larisoft: Hacking a site ![]() Well it's a two way scenario. You could get jailed for it, if the site owners decide to take the case up |

danidee10: No. It's called ethical hacking. Your helping them not stealing from them. Provided you : 1. Let them know you hacked it 2. Let them know the vulnerabilities in the site 3. Do not destroy their data 4. Do not use their data for personal use... |
Re: Am In Lag, I Need A Job. by danidee10(m): 3:24pm On Sep 05, 2016 |
larisoft: Yeah....but you have to be given permission to pentest a site or network...if not it's not ethical again 1 Like |

I disagree with Larisoft's "hack the site to get the job" method, you'll just get arrested because you need the permission to pen-test else it's illegal, that's why companies like facebook organize pen-testing events to dig out security issues. Tolet.com.ng has a job for an entry level PHP developer, if you're interested do a google search on the job (it should be there somewhere) checkout places like Yaba.. Places like CcHub can be a good place to attract companies and land a job. |

Call 08132660431 now I know someone that needs your skill. Call that number quick before he gets somebody else. |
Re: Am In Lag, I Need A Job. by FrankLampard: 6:25pm On Sep 05, 2016 |
larisoft: Nice one. |
Re: Am In Lag, I Need A Job. by larisoft: 8:44pm On Sep 05, 2016 |
Arrested on what grounds? I believe the issue is not up for debate yet, if anyone takes it up, we ll discuss it then)(and please try to learn the position of the Nigerian law on that matter before u do) . In the meantime, the easiest way to get the attention of a cto is to show him the vulnerabilities in what he has built. and pen testing won't get u the attention. That's cheap. Am talking algorithms here, ppl. Try hacking Facebook. Succeed, send them the details of it exploit without abusing the data in anyway , tell me you ll be imprisoned. |

larisoft:I do agree totally with what you said(I tried that once) I asked "have you done it before" because i wanted to know how you did your own, not that I disbelived you. IN btw do you participate in Google Code Jam |
Re: Am In Lag, I Need A Job. by larisoft: 10:01pm On Sep 05, 2016 |
VenantCode: Yeah. I did last year. Dont know if its been held this year. As to my methods, I mainly rely on AI to try to guess urls, guess encryption methods (selects the right algorithm from a list of algorithms using factory design pattern) grab and grill data which programmers thought unreachable because they encrypted it with simple ceaser cipher (you wouldnt believe how often thats used!). There are also ways to break android apps, and obtain data which many of us know here, like the regular change android extension, which hundreds of nigerian developers fall victim to, or the dex file decompilation which even I myself take for granted sometimes. When a site/app is done by a senior developer, there is little you can do to it because they use the right frameworks to lock you out (try hacking c# mvc ), but with all the cheap, junior programmers, whom are getting all the jobs these days, the Nigerian internet landscape is practically begging anyone who is interested to hack it for fun, succeed, and land a job in the victim company. lol By the by, am just giving my opinion now...enjoying the developer community like I always do. |

Larisoft your passion for programming is awesome, I would like to work in your company. How do I send my CV. |
Re: Am In Lag, I Need A Job. by VenantCode(m): 9:29am On Sep 06, 2016 |
larisoft:That's awesome. How was the google code jam like, can you give me tips in participating ![]() |
Re: Am In Lag, I Need A Job. by larisoft: 11:13am On Sep 06, 2016 |
VenantCode: LOL! I didn't go very far at all so my advice is probably impotent in that regard. I couldn't get past a matrix problem that seemed simple at first glance but it felt awesome participating. |
