Is he just 15? The level of technical details, and this part is not that simple: “quickly patched the Signal desktop app to remove SSL pinning and configured Burp to intercept and view HTTP requests/responses sent through the app”

You’d be surprised at how adept the younger generation can be, especially those who’ve grown up with technology. As tech evolves, so do they. There are kids who genuinely apply themselves, and because they’ve been immersed in this environment, it’s practically second nature to them. I remember the late 1990s: I was young, but more than anything, I was curious about how things worked, I had the luxury of time, and access to technology to explore it. I started coding in C++ when I was around 13, and honestly, I still feel like I started too late.
