Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need prior experience?
No. Start with fully controlled labs and clear scopes. If you prefer a guided path with feedback, our Courses and Cybersecurity Bootcamp include step-by-step labs and mentor reviews suited for beginners and career-switchers.
How many projects are enough?
Three deep, well-documented projects usually beat ten shallow ones. Aim to ship all seven over time, but invest extra effort in the three that best match your target roles.
How do I keep it legal?
Only test assets you own or have explicit written permission to test. Document scope, keep data synthetic, and remove anything sensitive before you publish.
