Getting Started with Security Research

Welcome to my security portfolio! This is a sample blog post demonstrating the MDX content structure.

Why Security Research?

Security research is one of the most exciting fields in technology. It combines:

Problem-solving skills - Finding vulnerabilities requires creative thinking
Technical depth - Understanding systems at a fundamental level
Continuous learning - The landscape is always evolving

Essential Skills

Here are some foundational skills every security researcher should develop:

1. Networking Fundamentals

Understanding how networks work is crucial:

bash

# Check network interfaces
ip addr show

# Scan for open ports
nmap -sV -sC target.com

2. Programming

Python is particularly useful for security tools:

python

import requests

def check_vulnerability(url):
    """Simple vulnerability checker"""
    payload = "' OR '1'='1"
    response = requests.get(f"{url}?id={payload}")
    return "error" in response.text.lower()
