CyberSecurity
SysAlbania is a cyber security education platform and services team. We publish hands-on guides to penetration testing, bug bounty, red teaming and threat hunting, maintain a library of free open-source security tooling, and track newly disclosed vulnerabilities. Everything we publish is written from our own testing: our own screenshots, our own command output, our own lab work. Alongside the free content we carry out paid security assessments for clients, and what we learn doing that work is what ends up here. All content is published for education and for authorised testing only.
