👋 Hello! I’m Suhesh Kasti
🔒💻 Your friendly neighbourhood Hackerman 🕸️
My Cybersecurity Journey
🛡️ You see, I’m almost Batman… but instead of Gotham, I kinda try to save networks (Batman couldn’t either) 🤡.
Cybersecurity has been my passion, and here’s a quick look at what I’ve been doing with it:
- Learning Ethical Hacking from TCM Security 🤓
- Breaking into Web Applications with Rana Khalil and ITProTV then protecting them with F5 BigIP 🛠️
- Scripting like a professional script kiddie with Python For Hackers from TCM Security 🐍
My DevOps and Networking Knowledge
I challenge you to find a guy who can get stuck like I did on VLANs and subnetting, I’ll wait…. (P.S. I still suck in it 🥺) but I am learning using the following resources:
- Docker containers with Kodekloud Engineer 🍕
- Getting cozy with Networking/CCNA via CBT Nuggets 🌐
Current Focus
At the moment, I’m juggling quite a bit (cybersecurity life, amirite?). Here’s what’s on my plate right now:
- Grinding away for the F5 101 Exam, because who doesn’t like exams… right? RIGHT??? (SPOILER ALERT: I DON’T 🫠) 📚
- Getting wisdom from John Hammond, Rana Khalil, David Bombal, Live Overflow, Network Chuck, The Cyber Mentor, Hackersploit, Bitten Tech, TechChip, Ankit Chauhan, Jack Rhysider and other cybersecurity gurus 📺
- Continuing my love affair with Hacking by trying create more of cybersecurity tools. I just made an SSH Bruteforcing tool using python. 🔐
My Tech Arsenal
These are the technologies I have exposure to…
Python is a very versatile programming language. I think for a cybersecurity practitioner, python can be very helpful for automating task and scripting various tools.

SQL, or Structured Query Language, is fundamental for managing and manipulating databases. In cybersecurity, understanding SQL is essential for handling and securing databases, a critical aspect of protecting sensitive information. How can I protect something I dont know..right?

Database
Figma is a collaborative design tool and although its not a security tool I use it to make some creative designs. For developers though its collaborative features make it an excellent choice for designing secure and user-friendly applications.

Windows is by far the most widely used operating system in both personal and enterprise environments. So windows is most of the time the victim of cyberattacks. Understanding windows I think is understanding the incident.

Operating System
Kubernetes is a powerful container orchestration platform used for managing and scaling containerized applications. Although not entirely a cybersecurity tool, understanding Kubernetes can help understand the development workflows.
