I guess what attracts me the most is the variety and the complexity. I
see it as an area I can explore for a long time and not get bored. I
like puzzles and challenges. I don't really have enough experience to
really point to a specific area yet. What experience I do have is with
the Windows operating system but there's so much more to explore. From
this side, intrusion detection and forensics looks mighty interesting.
