As emerging technologies are adopted, the vulnerabilities inherent to them become immediate risks for organizations.

My goal is to help you build a wide, resilient foundation while giving you the framework to dive deep into a specialization; whether that is my own passion for Red Teaming and OS security, or your own path in Defense or GRC. This guide is intended to be a living document, adaptable as you progress from a curious student to a technical professional. Without further ado, let’s get into it!

I encourage everyone to do their own research on any topics where you feel my posts lack clarity or detail. Legacy SiteFor th...
