Whoami

🖐️ Hi! I’m Yazeed Allabadi, a student at the University of Jordan. Majoring in Cyber Security, I’ve been practicing both Red Teaming and Blue teaming daily since the start of my journey as a cybersecurity bachelor candidate and I’m happy with where my feet has landed to so far.

💭 About Me

  • Since the last few years I’ve been exposing myself to as much cybersecurity content to enrich my knowledge both theoretically and practically.
  • I like to stay up to date with the latest technical discoveries in the world of cybersecurity including the newest CVE’s and attack methodologies as well as their countermeasures → Which is why I like to spend most of my time doing rooms at Tryhackme and solving Hackthebox machines which are spectacular learning resources for me.
  • So far I’ve been able to pass some industry recognized certifications like eJPTv2 , INEICCA (INE Certified Cloud Associate) and ISC2 CC .
    • eJPTv2 (E-learn Junior Penetration Tester) - Learned Red Teaming and Penetration Testing through Hands-On training lab material and exam assessment which covered the full stages of a successful penetration testing engagement.
    • ICCA (INE Certified Cloud Associate) - Training Material involved Cloud Foundations and basics in addition to hands-on labs on cloud environments.
    • ISC2 CC (Certified in Cybersecurity) - Training and exam process covered Risk Management , Risk Assessment in addition to Security Operations and best practices with respect to following global standards and regulations.
    • HTB CDSA - A highly comprehensive and practical certification for SOC Analysts that involves performing practical security analysis on 2 separate security incidents and uncovering detection opportunities that may not be immediately apparent from the available data or evidence alone. It also involves constructing a commercial grade documentation report that goes beyond just SOC operations and incident handling by assessing infrastructure risk, demonstrating market readiness and client focus.
      • Feel free to check my CDSA Blogpost for more insight and the tips and tricks I followed that helped me pass this rigorous exam.
