A defence-first security track: networking and Linux fundamentals, web application vulnerabilities, authentication, logging, and a documented, authorised assessment.

This track runs on milestones you submit, not videos you watch. Each milestone names what you hand in, and the review is what turns it into a verified step on your record. Where an existing course or deep-dive guide already covers part of the track, it is linked from this page.
