I believe an area that goes unnoticed by new security analysts looking to work in penetration testing and exploit authoring is that of OpenVMS and VMS-based systems hacking. I've worked on these systems for years and the word floating around out there is that they are "unhackable". While some have arguments against why this would matter in this day and age, why it really does matter can't be discounted. [1] Finding OpenVMS vulnerabilities and discovering ways to own boxes running the system is not only important but a great resume bullet.
