After a ton of hard work, I am over the moon to report that the Hack Packs will be in the post soon! 📨

Populating the VLE is one of the more tedious jobs for the module.
Each week has (at least) preamble, recorded content, lab exercises, further resources, and Movie & Song recommendation.
📑ChatGPT generates the preamble.
🖼 Undraw is used for the decorative images.
As seen in my @BSidesLondon talk, I've got ambitious plans for my web app hacking module. Hence, why I am already prepping for September...
Here's the current schedule and plan 👇
As part of our CISO programme, #EthicalHacking students Adam and Luke spoke at @StJohnsOfficial today 🗣
