About.

Hello! I am ILKIN FARAJOV.

I am currently studying cybersecurity, specifically focusing on Red Teaming and penetration testing. I am continuously developing my knowledge and skills in areas such as Linux, Windows, Active Directory, SQL, Python, and web security.

My goal is to become a professional penetration tester who identifies real-world security issues and contributes to their resolution.
