Hi there 👋

You have been hacked
:::
Not a good message to wake up to, is it? 🫠
This is the most dreaded message for any software company and its engineers.
Being a developer is not just about building things. It's about designing and developing secure, robust systems that can withstand malicious attacks.
But how do you know what these attacks are?
👨💻 Hackers are always awake
If you thought that there is a time and place for hackers to penetrate your software & systems, then you couldn't be more wrong!
A major part of hacking is to always ensure to cover all bases and look for a thousand ways to get in. And that means keeping the mind at multiple different tasks and places and systems.
That's where automation and scripts come in.
Hackers automate stuff and write scripts like cron jobs to alert them of any vulnerabilities as soon as they're available.
🥷 Think like a hacker
To evade hackers, you have to think like a hacker. And if you want to go one step ahead, you have to BECOME a hacker yourself 😎
How do you do that?
Here's an amazing website with 100% free and complete resources on hundreds of topics related to security and hacking.
Hacksplaining - Security Training For Developers
This site contains a wide variety of topics ranging from SQL Injections, Cross Site Scripting to File Upload Vulnerabilities ✅, including OWASP Training - all in one!
Oh did I mentioned? It's completely FREE 🤟
Go start hacking your way in now!
⚓ Have you Git It Yet?
When Linus released Git to the world in 2005, nobody imagined it to be the massive superpower in version control that it is today.
Whether you're an engineer, developer, tester, systems guy, or anything remotely related to IT, you cannot avoid Git.
Git and its associated services like GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket etc are now industry standards and requirements and a must-have skill set for any position.
But where to learn?
Fear not - all it takes is an hour a day for 10 days to get yourself familiar and started.

Code along with me and Git started! 😁
