Run by volunteers, not a profit motive
You might wonder, “Are you trying to sell me something? Who made this?”
This site is not designed to make money; it is designed not to make money.
The goal is keep recommendations and resources here as objective as possible:
- We’re here to give away neutral advice to beginners, not profit off your ambition.
- This site does not sell ads, take requests for sponsorship or product placement, use affiliate links, or recruit.
- We don’t offer newsletters, resume reviews, 1:1s, bootcamps, or LinkedIn tutorials. Some of those can be very useful, but that’s not what this is.
Noah Susskind created this site with input from friends, colleagues, and mentees.

Learning security is hard! Getting a job is hard! Please don’t mistake this site’s advice for a guarantee you’ll be able to do either. Just because there are a lot of open security jobs does not mean you can get one. But, we hope you do. 💪
