About Me

Hi! I'm Shlok, a cybersecurity and IT student passionate about ethical hacking, Linux, and exploring how systems can be secured and improved.

I focus on learning practical security skills: Kali tools, network scanning, packet analysis, and Python scripting for security tasks. I enjoy breaking things in controlled lab environments so I can learn how to secure them properly.

I'm currently self-learning cybersecurity fundamentals and will be enrolling in a short intensive ethical hacking course soon. I document experiments, small tools, and lab reports.
