Haile_sec
A hands-on cybersecurity learner who turns tutorials into scanners, labs, and portfolio projects.
BUILDR-6YR7KG
Hailemichael Solomon documents a practical cybersecurity journey, from writing small scanners to getting Snort online, troubleshooting virtual labs, and building security projects. The channel mixes learning resources with real experiments: a Network Intrusion Detection System, a SQLi dashboard, packet work with Scapy, and plenty of honest notes about what broke along the way.
Hailemichael learns by building instead of only watching: they write small tools, run controlled labs, document the rough edges, and troubleshoot when tutorials or tools stop matching reality. Their stack has included Python and Scapy for packet work, VMware-based labs, GitHub projects, and Supabase for auth, databases, and APIs.
- The channel has posted for an 18-week streak so far.
- It averages 3.9 posts per week over the last 90 days.
- English makes up 90% of the text posts.
- Six projects are marked as shipped.
The journey.

From Curiosity to Code
The channel began as a documented cybersecurity learning journey, then quickly moved from Bettercap and web-security resources into code. By June, four small tools were on GitHub: a socket-based port scanner, an Nmap wrapper, a WiFi scanner, and a basic SQL injection scanner.

In their own words.
Thatās where real understanding starts.
Learned more from writing these than hours of watching videos.
