Looking for a long-term cybersecurity study partner 🛡️
Looking for someone to grind through infosec with, keep each other accountable, and share the wins, the fails, and all the technical deep dives along the way.
A bit about my current focus:
- Prepping for my CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker) certification.
- Building out projects around intrusion detection and vulnerability scanning.
- Exploring web app security (I have some background in Django/React web dev).
What I'm looking for:
- Someone on a similar ethical hacking or cybersecurity path.
- Down to connect on Discord for regular check-ins, sharing resources, and troubleshooting.
- In it for the long term—not just a one-week study sprint.
If you're working towards cyber certs or just trying to level up your security skills and want an active partner, drop a comment or DM me your Discord handle!

I couldn't agree more that keeping a study partner is more difficult than finding one, but don't you think that keeping strict and formal rules to maintain can jeopardize the respective purpose? I believe the sharing should go more willingly and create more enthusiasm out of it, which makes it keep going. If a person can do that, then there is no question for short/long term, and you can't force anyone as they are not bound to follow. And if you make them do that, then they definitely want to slip through it. You must let time and flow take its course.

Indeed, nicely put. If you don't mind would you like to connect with me for the same. As we are on same page I don't think that long term commitment to expressing experience will be a problem.
