Windows Report · Microsoft's youngest bug bounty hacker is just 13 and already making waves13-year-old helps Microsoft fix major bugs, becoming the youngest researcher in its bug bounty program history.

…quando Windows XP era il futuro
…quando i floppy disk sembravano infiniti
…quando le chiavette da 128 MB costavano una fortuna
…quando “fare il backup” significava masterizzare un CD riscrivibile
…quando Internet faceva trrrrr krrrr ding-ding prima di collegarsi
…quando il telefono a conchiglia faceva quel meraviglioso clack

Oggi?

📱 Il mio smartphone del 2022 è già “vecchio”.
🔒 La mia password storica non la vuole più nessuno.

E voi? Qual è la tecnologia “mitica” che ricordate con nostalgia?

🧠💻 A White Hat Dream, Lost in Time... There was a time I had real aspiration to become a white hat hacker — to understand systems deeply, ethically test security, and maybe one day help fortify digital defences. But as with many dreams, life had other plans. 🌍⏳

Between priorities and distractions, I never found enough time to dive in fully. I’ve never met a hacker in real life, and everything I’ve ever learned about IT or cybersecurity, I learned alone. No tutors. No group. Just me and the internet. Unfortunately, the more I sought tools, the more I encountered viruses and shady software that made things worse, not better. 😓

But despite all that, I recently stumbled upon something powerful — STIG.

🔒 STIG stands for Security Technical Implementation Guides. These are official DoD (Department of Defence) frameworks for securing systems. Whether you're a white hat, grey hat, or just a curious soul who wants to understand how hardened systems work, STIG is gold. It tells you exactly how to lock down systems, secure configurations, and patch vulnerabilities — the same way governments and defence agencies do it.

And today, I’m making YOUR job easier by giving you the most important STIG links to explore for yourself. Trust me, these are safe, official, and game-changing if you’re interested in cybersecurity:

If I had more time, I’d be knee-deep in this world. But maybe someone reading this does. 👨‍💻👩‍💻
