Contents

• notes/: Event and workshop notes retained for personal study context.
• reference/: Security assessment reference notes for authorized labs and training environments.
• research/: Dated, article-derived security research notes kept separate from the hands-on tool references, capturing recent tooling, CVEs, and study-platform changes for personal study context.
• training/: Training material, checklists, and public preparation references for security certification study.

Usage notes

• All material is authorized lab, training, or defensive-assessment reference only.
• Personal names, company names, customer domains, credentials, and internal environment details are kept out of committed notes. Tokenized placeholders (<lab-ip>, <lab-password>, example.test) are used throughout.
• Prefer maintained upstream documentation for tool installation. This repository is for notes, checklists, and review context, not maintained automation.
