Why we focus on linux
Linux is powerful, widely trusted, and often undersecured.
āļø It runs modern infrastructure
From web servers and cloud platforms to containers, automation, databases, and internal systems, Linux sits at the core of how modern organizations operate.
š It carries sensitive access
Linux systems often hold private keys, tokens, credentials, logs, backups, source code, customer data, and connections to other critical systems.

Open ports, weak SSH settings, excessive permissions, outdated packages, exposed services, poor logging, and insecure defaults can turn a reliable system into an entry point.
