(y/n)'s POV

I: Here and here and here. Man this is tough.

Currently I am working on my 'military' computer trying to make a better parachute. Also on the other desk is (x/n) who is currently working on a new hacking software to hack into the parliament building. Let me explain.

Me and (x/n) in addition to music and swimming, are also known as white hackers/penetration testers. We do it part time. Essentially, the concept of a white hacker is to go into a place with cyber security and hack into it. I know it sounds bad but if nobody 'friendly fires' your building, how will you know where you have gone wrong. But after that, we explain it in a debriefing to parliament and we get paid. Yes that's a concept of a white hacker. You simulate the bad guy and tell your employer where your walls are missing. It sounds crazy I know. But that is an actual job. The rest of _ are aware of what we do they know how to hack but are nowhere near the level that me and (x/n) operate. The two of us often make the coding of what we do and the firewalls that we use.

Yes you get paid 84.1K a month just to hack. Google offer like 20k just to hack into them. I know it's crazy. The other members know about it but me and (x/n) are the experts in this as we make most of our software thanks the sponsorship deal we have with Kaspersky Lab where we make software for protection as well as test hacking for the companies and occasionally the government will ask us to test hack them. Just to make sure their fire walls are ready and then hopefully once it becomes a bit easier, it can be used to help the people.
