My journey into cybersecurity began with curiosity and a strong desire to understand how systems work and how they can be secured.</p> <p>At the beginning, I had little knowledge about hacking or security. I started by learning the basics of networking, web technologies, and programming. Understanding how websites work helped me realize how vulnerabilities can exist in real-world applications.</p> <p>Gradually, I explored topics like ethical hacking, penetration testing, and bug bounty hunting. I began practicing on legal platforms and intentionally vulnerable applications. This hands-on practice helped me gain real-world experience.<br> One of the biggest turning points in my journey was discovering bug bounty programs. These programs allowed me to test real websites and find vulnerabilities in a legal way. It was both challenging and rewarding.</p> <p>Cybersecurity is not just about hacking - it's about protecting systems, data, and people. As I continue learning, I aim to become a skilled ethical hacker and contribute to building a safer digital world.</p> <p>Written by <strong>Md.
