QUESTIONS
Common questions about Cybersecurity
Can I test any website I can access?
No. Public accessibility is not permission. Test only owned systems or systems covered by explicit written authorisation and scope.
Is this a hacking service?
No. The focus is educational, defensive and responsible security practice.
Do I need networking basics?
Yes, understanding addresses, ports, DNS and HTTP helps you interpret system behaviour.
What is a SOC role?
A security operations centre role commonly involves monitoring alerts, investigating evidence and escalating potential incidents.
