Design a Study Plan with

If you have a specific goal in mind — whether it’s breaking into cybersecurity, mastering a niche like web exploitation, preparing for a certification (e.g., OSCP), or transitioning into red teaming — I’d love to help you build a realistic, structured, and effective study plan to get there.

In this session, I’ll work with you to:
- Understand your goals, background, and timeline
- Identify core topics and how deep you need to go
- Break everything down into a step-by-step weekly roadmap with milestones and deadlines
- Recommend trusted courses, books, labs, and challenges that align with your learning style and target areas

This is a great starting point for anyone who’s serious about structured growth, and if you’re aiming to reach a goal in the next 3–6 months, I also offer long-term mentorship, where we can do regular check-ins, review progress, and keep you accountable.

👋 Hi, I’m Mohamed Salah — a Principal Security Researcher at Oracle, with deep roots in Offensive Security and Penetration Testing. Over the past decade, I’ve worked across diverse sectors including software houses, telecom, and global security consultancies, always driven by a passion for breaking things... responsibly.

👨‍🏫 Along the way, I’ve earned technical certifications from various reputable organisations like OffSec, eLearnSecurity, and Altered Security. I’ve also led high-impact projects across the EMEA region, making it a bit more secure. and I actively contribute to the infosec community—whether through meetups, mentoring, or speaking engagements, as of my recent talk at Black Hat MEA.

🔍 I stay constantly updated on the latest advancements in the field, not just for my own growth, but so I can share insights with mentees, colleagues, and friends, and give back to the community whenever I can.

One of the aspirations that sparked my cybersecurity journey was Capture-The-Flag competitions — a space where I earned multiple wins and built the foundations of my technical mindset. I’d love to support and guide anyone looking to grow through CTFs as well.

💬 I love working with aspiring red teamers, career switchers, and junior engineers who are hungry to grow. Whether it’s resume reviews, hands-on technical guidance, or strategic career advice — I tailor every session to your unique goals.

I understand how overwhelming and frustrating it can be to start or transition into a cybersecurity career, especially with so many paths to choose from. I'm here to help you navigate those options and find the path that aligns best with your strengths and ambitions.

If you’re serious about leveling up in cybersecurity, I’d be honoured to support your journey. Let’s connect and get started!
