# Welcome to DenDeck
*A personal cybersecurity notebook exploring security, IT, and all things tech*
---
## About This Site
**DenDeck** is my public-facing cybersecurity lab and digital garden — a space to document the technical journey I'm on through hands-on labs, writeups, certifications, and reflections.
It all started in my private Obsidian vault. I just cleaned it up and hit publish.
---
## Why DenDeck?
I spend most of my time in Obsidian. Instead of rewriting content for blog posts or reports, I decided to build directly from the notes I was already taking — raw, honest, and constantly evolving.
This site allows me to:
- Share lab environments and attack simulations
- Publish walkthroughs with real configurations, commands, and output
- Reflect on the process of learning — both the breakthroughs and setbacks
- Dive into IAM, cloud security, red teaming, and system design

## What You'll Find
- ✅ **Projects** like *HollowRoot*, simulating insider threats in hybrid environments
- 🧩 **Labs** from my homelab and internships
- 📘 **Certification notes** (ISC2 CC, Azure, IAM, etc.)
- ☁️ **Deep-dives** into identity, cloud, and enterprise security
- 🧠 **Reflections** on learning, doubt, and personal growth in tech

## Before You Dive In
- This is a learning space — not production guidance.
- Some environments are intentionally vulnerable to reflect real-world issues.
- All misconfigurations, oversights, and opinions are my own.
