Introduction

Greetings! I'm Stuart Beck, a dedicated and enthusiastic Cyber Security student at Northumbria University, currently navigating my way through the challenges of my third year. I am driven by a profound passion for Cyber Security, a journey that began at the age of 13 and has kept me relentlessly curious ever since.

What Drives Me

What fuels this passion is the constant pursuit of knowledge and the fulfillment derived from exploring the intricacies of the Cyber Security landscape. I am always on the lookout for new learning opportunities, eager to stay ahead in this ever-evolving field.

Current Projects

At present, I am engaged in two exciting projects that reflect my commitment to pushing boundaries. The first, ReconnAI, is a cutting-edge venture that intertwines AI with Reconnaissance, enhancing the effectiveness of Penetration Testing. The second, Developing PoC's for recent CVE's. A very fun task!

What's Next?

I am fervently working towards leaving a lasting impact on the Cyber Security industry, fueled by my love for exploration and dedication to innovation. My latest endeavours took me into the world of physical security, Lockpicking, SDR & Creating my own RubberDucky USB's are just to name a few! Thank you for joining me on this exciting journey!
