My name is Nicholas Barker, welcome to my blog!
A little bit about me, I am an IT student studying Datacenter Management and on my off time, I am studying Cybersecurity. I am passionate about all things IT and try to learn new technologies and strategies as often as I can. I have spent the past ~10 years learning IT from the ground up. Everything from how to build computers and server racks to how to accomplish multi-layered cybersecurity attacks (on my own equipment of course). I am also a rather large motorcycle enthusiast. My current ride is a 2008 Kawasaki ZX-6R (I’ll list mods and whatnot at the bottom of this page). I hope you enjoy this blog and maybe, hopefully learn a thing or two.
