Last year I decided to move my study more into focusing on security to give myself more exposure to this important area. I wasn’t expecting the rabbit hole that it’s sent me down. Studying for the eCPPT(Certified Professional Penetration Tester) has opened up a hole new community and it’s been a brilliant year of learning, but more than I was expecting. I took the v2 exam, which is due to be retired at the end of December.
