Before diving into web development, Wasif Khan was deeply curious about ethical hacking. He explored Linux extensively, using it to perform tasks like capturing Wi-Fi handshakes and running dictionaries to crack passwords, which became one of his favorite areas of interest.
Although he eventually shifted his focus to web development, his passion for ethical hacking remained intact, particularly as he recognized the importance of Linux in deploying applications on AWS and within Docker containers. He continued to use Linux as a hobby for ethical hacking, allowing him to maintain a connection to that field while enhancing his overall technical skills. This background in security has also informed his approach to building secure applications in his web development work.
