Hi, I’m Rami (BSc Computer Science — Security & Forensics; MSc Advanced Security ongoing).

What I’m about to do:

• Build a safe VM lab (Kali + vulnerable targets).

• Master linux , core networking and packet analysis (Wireshark).

• Learn scripting (Python + Bash) and basics of web security (OWASP, Burp).

• Practice on TryHackMe / HackTheBox / CTFs and publish write-ups.

• Prepare for practical, hands-on pentesting (Metasploit, Nmap, privilege escalation).

Certs I’m aiming for:

• Cisco Cybersecurity Essentials (quick baseline)

• CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701)

• OSCP (longer-term hands-on goal)

• Continue CCNA study in parallel

Feedback welcome — especially on cert order and what recruiters actually value given im in the UK.
Thank you!!!
