Just a piece of advice for anyone trying to learn something new: We all start very enthusiastically, dedicating time and effort. But as complexity increases, we might avoid challenges by shifting to easier tasks. While taking breaks to refresh your mind is beneficial, beware of getting stuck in a cycle of mediocrity. For example, imagine learning about database internals or how DRAM works. Initially, it's easy to grasp, but you'll inevitably hit a wall. When this happens, explore related concepts, read articles and whitepapers, and connect the dots. I avoid strict roadmaps and timelines for personal learning because they limit exploration. Trust me, there is no scarcity of knowledge out there, and you'll be amazed by what you discover. (Of course, this advice doesn't apply to professional deadlines; this is specifically for personal upskilling).

Remember, there's no single right way to learn

. Choose a method that you enjoy and that keeps you motivated. Just don't forget the reason you started this journey in the first place. credit : Mohit Mishra

sgn

SGN is a polymorphic binary encoder for offensive security purposes such as generating statically undetecable binary payloads. It uses a additive feedback loop to encode given binary instructions similar to LSFR. This project is the reimplementation of the original Shikata ga nai in golang with many improvements.
