Hello, in this post I will be sharing my current IT skills and experiences.


My interest in computing started at an early age and I was fortunate to have a laptop at home when I was just six years old. I quickly became familiar with Microsoft Word and Excel, and even experimented with PowerPoint, although at that time, computer-based presentations were not widely used in my country.


When I was 13, I watched some tutorials on YouTube on how to hack Wi-Fi passwords and managed to obtain my school's Wi-Fi password and iPad restriction code. Unfortunately, this resulted in a controversial situation where I was recognized for my technical abilities but also punished for being unethical and causing the school financial loss.


At 14, I started learning JavaScript and Python but had to focus on my high school final exams and didn't work on many projects. By the time I was 17, I created my first website using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I also got a domain name and hosted the website. I am proficient in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Python, and have worked with frameworks like ReactJS, NodeJS, and Django. I have some knowledge of databases, including MySQL and MongoDB.


In 2022, I focused more on cybersecurity and networking, using software such as Kali Linux, Cisco Packet Tracer, and Microsoft Azure, among others. Although I have not used any specific cybersecurity hardware, I am aware that we will be using hardware such as Raspberry Pi and dongles during our penetration testing module. We will also be working with software like Linux, Ubuntu, Wireshark, Azure, Kubernetes, and more.


These tools will be particularly helpful in our cybersecurity activities, as many tasks are performed on the command line, and Linux is a preferred platform for this purpose. Additionally, Azure will be useful in our secure coding sessions, as it will provide hands-on experience with secure coding and vulnerability libraries.

Models and Methodologies

Source: https://draft.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/4645394287292363993/7218885967669883525# Today would be on the ethical methodologies used in carrying out an ethical hack/attack. In every sector, there are models, ethics and procedures from law to medicine and so is the case in cybersecurity and particularly ethical hacking. There are steps an ethical hacker needs to follow because we are ethical people backed by the law to do what we do so. The processes are a six-step industry standard process which is:  1. Reconnaissance Upon receiving explicit and contractual consent from the organization, the reconnaissance portion of the hacking process can begin. This involves collecting as much information as possible about the “target” using the various tools at the hacker’s disposal, including the company website, internet research, and even social engineering. These are all similar to the types of behaviours that a malicious hacker would engage in when attempting to breach an organi...

MAJOR PROJECT THEME - ETHICAL HACKING

Source: https://www.softwaretestinghelp.com/wp-content/qa/uploads/2020/06/Ethical-Hacking.png Ethical hacking is a practice in which cybersecurity professionals use their skills to identify vulnerabilities in computer systems and networks. This approach helps organizations proactively detect and fix potential security issues before malicious hackers exploit them. Ethical hacking is a vital tool in today's world where cyber threats constantly evolve and become more sophisticated. The concept of ethical hacking is based on the idea that the best defence against cyber attacks is a good offence. Organizations can identify and fix vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them by conducting controlled and authorised attacks on their own systems. Ethical hacking also helps to improve the overall security posture of an organization, making it more resilient against future cyber attacks. However, ethical hacking is not a license to conduct attacks indiscriminately. Ethical hacker...

This section outlines the key steps and processes undertaken by the ethical hacking team to assess the organization's cybersecurity measures. The first step in the methodology involved the selection of a qualified and experienced ethical hacking team. The team's expertise in various aspects of cybersecurity, such as network security, web application security, and social engineering, ensured a comprehensive assessment across different attack vectors. Careful consideration was given to the team's certifications, qualifications, and track record of successful engagements...
