How to Get Started With Hacking
The great (and sometimes intimidating) part about computer security is it’s such a broad and ill-defined field. This post shares some tips to help build this passion and lists several resources to start you on this journey. The post was original created for my new hacking club so geared towards novices with limited to no experience, but the content is useful even for those with a CS/IT background trying to get into the computer security field.
Why [I] Create[d] a Technical Blog
Why I decided to blog I’ve had a website for almost two years, but I always envisioned this site being more than simply a persistent resume. I dabbled in this more twice before, but I allowed myself to get in my own way. I convinced myself that my website design was not polished enough, my framework was not secure enough, my writing was not professional enough, and, most paralyzingly, my contributions were not big enough to be released in a public platform. Unfortunately, this inaction had a cost. I have repeated tasks I failed to document, forgot ideas I was afraid to share, and contributed little back to this amazing community from which I have learned (consumed) so much. Ultimately, this journal is for me. It will force me to better understanding these topics by creating the appropriate documentation, help me become more comfortable with casual public writing (and not worry if it is perfect), and provide me with record of all my technical endeavors. I hope some of this work is also useful to the community, but I am positive I will be the biggest beneficiary of all simply by going through this process.
