Let's Harkness · Cybersecurity Internship

Learn security by securing a real system — your own.

A certification-oriented internship built around one idea: every breach is a broken trust boundary. You'll stand up your own VPS, then spend Tier 1 learning to see it the way an attacker and a defender do. An AI tutor mentors you the hard way — by asking, not answering.

YOUR LAB

Your own VPS is the testbed

No toy sandboxes. You provision and harden a real Ubuntu server, then every module inspects, maps, and audits that exact box.

SOCRATIC AI

A tutor that won't just tell you

Stuck? The AI guides you up a graduated hint ladder — questions first, answers last. "It just told me and it worked" scores zero here.

PORTFOLIO

Evidence, not attendance

Each module ends in a graded artifact an employer would actually want to see — mapped to Security+, CySA+, NICE, and NIST CSF.

The path
Tier 1Core mental models — set up your VPS, map trust boundaries, recon, crypto, privilege escalation (open now)
Tier 2Applied infrastructure security — hardening the box you mapped
Tier 3+Application security, offensive testing, monitoring, governance, capstone
