My Journey to Become a Pentester

Cybersecurity Enthusiast | Ethical Hacker | Homelab Builder

About Me

I'm Omar LYAHYAI, a passionate cybersecurity enthusiast on a journey to become a professional penetration tester.

My homelab serves as my playground for learning advanced infrastructure, security testing, and automation. I specialize in building secure environments using Proxmox, Docker, pfSense, and various security tools.

Through hands-on experience with Kali Linux, network security, and AI-powered automation workflows, I'm developing the skills needed to identify and remediate security vulnerabilities in real-world systems.
