SEC GUY / JOB READY / PYTHON PATHWAY

Build tools.
Explain choices.

From a free-member scanner lab to nine Professional modules, follow a ten-module route that connects code to real security decisions. A free account is required to begin.

10 MODULES1 FREE-MEMBER LAB9 PROFESSIONAL LABS
WHAT YOU WILL PRACTICE

Code is only half the story.

Each module should connect the Python structure to a security decision you can explain in an interview.

01 / READ

Understand the input

Identify what data the tool receives, what assumptions it makes and which inputs are untrusted.

02 / BUILD

Write bounded logic

Use loops, parsing, files and APIs in simulations with a clearly defined scope.

03 / EXPLAIN

Defend the tradeoff

Describe what the script proves, what it does not, and how you verified its result.

THE COMPLETE PATHWAY

Ten modules. One coherent progression.

Start with Module 1 using a free member account, then continue through nine Professional labs. Skill filters help you find the right exercise without hiding its access tier.

01 / FREE MEMBERStart with the first lab

Create a free account or sign in to try Module 1. It is a member benefit, not anonymous access.

Join free
02 / PROFESSIONALContinue through Modules 2–10

The remaining nine labs require the Professional membership. See the access level before opening a lab.

These cards link to existing Sec Guy modules. The preview describes the intended tiers; Squarespace must enforce access on the module pages.

Secure-coding note: Regex input checks alone do not stop SQL injection. The module-five description is corrected to point learners toward parameterized queries. The underlying module needs content QA before release.
