Do you remember what you learned in college? I’m Noah, a cybersecurity nerd with a passion for learning. At the start of my journey toward a master’s degree in cybersecurity, I built this website to document my learning and help others kickstart their own quests in the field. I’ve tackled everything from network scanning with Nmap and Zenmap to web app pentesting and even digging into digital forensics with Autopsy. Whether it’s cracking passwords with John the Ripper or getting a CompTIA certification, I’m all about diving deep and sharing what I learn along the way
I've used Python to automate tasks and simplify processes in several projects. Whether it's scripting to analyze log files or automate network scans, Python has been a handy tool for making repetitive tasks more efficient
Organized and led study sessions for up to 30 people at a time, delivering in-depth lessons on network security, threat analysis, and vulnerability management, ensuring participants mastered key cybersecurity concepts.
I focus on finding and fixing vulnerabilities in web applications using tools like Burp Suite. I've worked with platforms like DVWA and OWASP Juice Shop to practice identifying issues like SQL injections and XSS, and then securing those vulnerabilities.
Conducted credentialed and uncredentialed scans to uncover vulnerabilities like outdated software, weak configurations, and web app flaws. Used results to prioritize remediation and improve system security.
I’ve applied the Cyber Kill Chain model in multiple projects to understand potential attack strategies and develop defensive measures. Learning to think like an attacker has been key in improving my approach to cybersecurity.
I’ve used Wireshark in several projects to analyze network traffic and detect anomalies. This has helped me gain a deep understanding of network protocols and how to spot unusual or malicious activity.
My network security projects have involved setting up and managing firewalls, VPNs, and intrusion detection systems. These experiences have helped me understand how to protect networks from both internal and external threats.
I’ve had hands-on experience removing malware from systems, going through the steps to clean up and secure affected machines. This taught me a lot about finding the root of the problem, clearing out the infection, and making sure it doesn’t come back.
