Thanks i guess XD

At the moment I would describe myself as a digital adventurer ready for the next step. The months that I have been active on this forum I have gained basic knowledge, and I can say that I have become addicted to information related to hacking I am extremely motivated and have enough time to complete the course.
My post history may be disappointing, this is mainly because if I don't know or understand something. I dive into the database of forums to come up with the right information, if I really can't figure something out I try to ask a question as specifically as possible.
I would be the perfect candidate as I have a huge drive for hacking I will ask targeted questions thus not wasting anyone's time I will also participate in group discussions, I will complete the course 100% in the requested time period I will also complete all daily requirements.

I have been interested in cybersecurity/hacking lately its a huge field and I am really interested in it
and I am sure I will be able to discuss and share my knowledge with the other members there

Motivation wise I think I am really motivated to start learning new stuff and I am always looking forward for that
I will make sure to be as active as possible and I will be submitting stuff as early as I can.

[borealfoil409]

I would love to be involved I just did Security+ course for college for 2 years but now I want to learn the technicalities and coding, etc. behind the malware and hacking concepts I've been learning about.

I appreciate the desire, but being this is your first literal post, I cant accept being I have nothing to show for you.

As for you my friend, I see 19 posts of leeching content, and you wish for me to openly hand my content to you being it is being developed as a paid for course.

I'm going to say, no, unless your dead serious , and willing to allow a Middle man to hold $750 (50% of estimated course value) in trust to complete the course.
SO you decide how seriously you want to learn, and let me know.

The Security+ certification drained me $390 no way jose

The fact it took you a week to see this and reply (To yourself?) indicates I made the correct choice here.

This kinda stuff takes dedication... Best of luck.

I'm spending my time wisely learning more as I go along my cyber security journey but I still support the cause. I just thought you were going to do this for free because I'd like a mentor to show me the way easier but I think learning should be about someone's passion and drive versus forking out half a thousand dollars to maybe or maybe not learn. I can't put on my resume "learned from Hackforums.net" but I can put on it the technical skills I'd be learning from you and how I'm applying them to real world scenarios. Best of luck though to you if you decide to have a change of heart or mind I'm just a PM away. :)

Good to see people trying to give back HF its glory.

@People who are reading this post: remember that it is YOU who can make HF great again.

I'm surprised more people haven't jumped at this opportunity.

Although my profile is not great, I am capable of presenting my previous work in PMS. I have established myself as a web developer with several years of experience, specializing in Angular, Vue, Express, Electron, and Flutter. Throughout my career, I have successfully developed numerous websites, with a particular focus on single-page applications (SPAs), as well as desktop and mobile applications. I hope we can talk in private and provide more details there.
