Title: Building My Own Cybersecurity Toolbox as a 12-Year-Old Developer
Cybersecurity always felt like something only professionals could do. But recently, I started building my own cybersecurity toolbox called Zerocool Toolbox. It’s not advanced yet, but it’s a cool way for me to explore ethical hacking and security.
What’s inside my toolbox?
🔍 Port Scanner – to check open ports on a system.
🛡️ Password Strength Checker – to test how secure a password is.
📡 Basic Network Sniffer – captures packets (for learning purposes).
🚫 Website Blocker – to block distracting or unsafe sites.
Why I built it?
To learn how hackers think (so I can defend better)
To practice Python networking libraries.
To have my own set of tools as a beginner.
Takeaway:
If you’re starting out in cybersecurity, don’t wait until you’re an expert. Start small, build tools, and share your progress. Even a simple password checker is a great step!
