⚠️ Critical legal & safety notice (cyber ethics)
Never touch a system you don't own or have written permission to test. Even if a network looks vulnerable, unauthorized access is a crime (Computer Fraud and Abuse Act / local equivalent). I always operate with signed agreements before any scan or configuration.
I carry Public Liability & Professional Indemnity insurance — affordable cover (under R500/month) protecting both me and my clients against misconfiguration or unforeseen issues.
Every engagement includes a clear statement: "Advisory services only; final security responsibility lies with the client." Transparency first.

🎯 Why trust a student?
I'm currently studying IT Level 3 — I understand modern threats (phishing, zero-day, misconfigurations) and I'm mentored by industry standards. Because I'm building my reputation, I deliver thorough work and charge far below senior consultant rates.

⚙️ Tools & methods
I use industry-grade free tools (OpenVAS, Wireshark, Bitwarden, Nmap) and follow OWASP & NIST guidelines. I never run intrusive pentests without prior signed approval.
