Hi! I'm Abdullah Samman, a third year cybersecurity student based in Toronto who enjoys learning how systems work, breaking them down, and writing about what I pick up along the way.
About me
A lot of my time goes into networking, Windows, Linux, web security, and reverse engineering. Outside school I build small projects, test things in the lab, and write about what I learn here.
I enjoy hands-on problem solving, figuring out why something works, and making technical ideas easier to understand.
Short write-ups on networking, systems, and security topics I have been learning and testing.
