When I started learning cyber security back in 2020, I was overwhelmed with the resources. One of the main issues I faced at that time was the lack of free, structured content that could actually guide beginners step-by-step. That’s exactly why I started my YouTube channel.

It’s wild how a single AI prompt can quietly turn into a full SSRF attack without anyone noticing! I just released a new video where I break down this exact scenario — beginner-friendly, practically demonstrated, and focused purely on education. With so many apps rushing to
