Who Am I?

I'm Jiwan Hamal — a second-semester computer science student standing at the entrance of a very deep rabbit hole.

The rabbit hole is called cybersecurity. And honestly? I still don't know exactly where I'll end up inside it. Penetration testing, digital forensics, threat intelligence, reverse engineering — there are too many paths, and I'm only just beginning to see them.

What I do know is I'm drawn to understanding how things work before thinking about how they can fail. That means building a foundation first: learning C, getting comfortable with networks, understanding why Kali Linux ships with the tools it does.

Ask me in a year which direction I've picked. For now — I'm still reading the map.

First Year Cyber Curious Direction: TBD CTF: soon

Current Arsenal

Tools I'm picking up. All works in progress.

C Beginner

C Programming

Learning to speak to the machine directly. Pointers, memory allocation, and the joy of a segfault at 2 am.

30%
NET Learning

Computer Networks

TCP/IP, packets, routing, protocols. Understanding how data travels before thinking about how to stop it.

25%
OS Exploring

Kali Linux

The terminal is home now. Learning the filesystem, the tools, and the mindset of an OS built for thinking offensively.

35%
GIT Getting there

Git & Version Control

Commits, branches, diffs. Tracking progress in code the same way you'd log changes to a system.
