I go by the name Code-29, and I’m currently a student with a focused passion for Ethical Hacking and Cybersecurity. I'm at the early stages of my journey — learning, exploring, and most importantly, building the mindset of a responsible ethical hacker.

🔐 Why I’m Here:
My mission is to understand how systems work, how they break, and how they can be secured — always with a focus on defensive security and ethical practices. I strongly believe in using hacking knowledge for protection, awareness, and empowerment, not harm.

📚 What I’m Learning:

Ethical hacking methodologies (Recon, Scanning, Gaining Access, etc.)

Networking and system fundamentals

Linux & Bash scripting

Python for automation

Tools like Nmap, Wireshark, Metasploit, Burp Suite

Practicing on platforms like TryHackMe, Hack The Box, and OWASP Juice Shop

🧠 My Goal:
To become a professional Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) in the coming years and eventually work in a SOC or red team to defend organizations against real-world threats.

🤝 Looking For:

Guidance from experienced members

Good ethical hacking resources or labs

Study groups or people to collaborate with

Real discussions around cybersecurity careers

I’m here to learn, connect, and contribute as I grow. If you have any tips, must-read threads, or beginner resources — feel free to share. I appreciate being part of this powerful community.

Thanks,
— Code-29
