The beginning of my journey

My journey into the world of cybersecurity began with a simple curiosity, born out of fascination with the offensive side of the discipline. For a considerable period, I found myself drawn to various aspects of computing, dabbling in web development and game development. However, my interest in cybersecurity resurfaced when I stumbled upon the concept of "ethical hacking" while searching for resources to learn about hacking legally.

Intrigued, I registered on TryHackMe and began exploring their rooms, quickly realizing that hacking was not as glamorous as it appeared in movies. It was a more intuitive process of discovering vulnerabilities on a target system and leveraging them to one's advantage.

As I delved deeper into the world of cybersecurity, I completed the legacy path of TryHackMe, Cybersecurity 101, and Jr Pentester (legacy) courses. While I am still far from being an expert, I continue to learn the fundamentals through HackTheBox, understanding that this approach has built a strong foundation for my future development. Despite feeling like I am sometimes moving backward, I am confident that I am, in fact, strengthening my skills and knowledge.

Cybersecurity has become my primary area of interest, but I also maintain a keen fascination with game development and the application of AI in the medical field, specifically bioinformatics. I aspire to explain concepts that I find both confusing and interesting in a manner that would have benefited me when I was starting out. While I am not a professional educator, I hope to share my opinions, thoughts, and experiences with others who share my passion.

I welcome any comments, feedback, or reactions from those who have taken a similar journey, as I would love to hear about their experiences and how they discovered their own path within the vast landscape of cybersecurity.
