Current Focus
Building strong foundations in Linux, networking, Python, log analysis, and Security Operations practice.
Cybersecurity Student
Cybersecurity student building practical Blue Team, Linux, networking, and Python skills.
I’m Anna Buczak, a BSc Cyber Security student at the University of Essex Online. I document my coursework, security labs, Python projects, and SOC-style investigations as I build toward an entry-level cybersecurity role.
About
Learning by building, documenting, and improving practical security work.
My studies cover programming, networking, ethical hacking, operating systems security, and cybersecurity foundations. I use GitHub to show my progress clearly: organised coursework, security-focused Python scripts, Linux notes, and SOC investigation writeups.
Areas of Interest
Approach
I prefer clear, reproducible notes: what I tested, what I observed, what I concluded, and how I would improve the work next.
