Cybersecurity Workflows

Home | Notes | Exercises | Quiz Hub | Projects

Lab Journal Workflow

Use Git to record what you learned:

labs/
  nmap-baseline.md
  linux-hardening.md
  wireshark-dns.md
scripts/
  parse-auth-log.py
notes/
  commands.md

Commit each meaningful checkpoint:

git add labs/nmap-baseline.md
git commit -m "Document Nmap baseline scan"

Incident Notes Workflow

For mock incidents, use branches:

git switch -c incident/phishing-timeline

Track:

• Timeline.
• Indicators.
• Evidence sources.
• Actions taken.
• Open questions.

Portfolio Workflow

Public GitHub work should show skill without exposing unsafe material:

• Publish sanitized labs and writeups.
• Explain methodology and lessons learned.
• Link to safe screenshots or diagrams.
• Keep raw sensitive data private.

GitHub can become a portfolio, but security judgment matters more than volume.
