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.

How they work

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 journey.

  1. Apr – Jun 2025

    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.

  2. Jul – Sep 2025

    Labs, Packets, and Proof

    The focus shifted toward learning by doing and keeping receipts: notes, screenshots, penetration-testing reports, and troubleshooting sessions. Snort, Metasploitable2, VMware, and Scapy turned the channel into a running lab notebook.

    Recon, Resources, Repeat

    The latest chapter leans into reconnaissance and security education, with frameworks such as FinalRecon, Recon-ng, theHarvester, and SpiderFoot explained in plain terms. Alongside the resources, a new build—Nuzz—has started.
