🌐 Webroots and Writeups

Welcome to my cybersecurity learning repository! This project documents my progress through various modules on TryHackMe, with a focus on web fundamentals, real-world examples, and detailed badge-based write-ups.

🧭 What This Repo Is About

This repo is a personal journal of everything I’m learning — from how the web works under the hood, to practical hacking tools, HTTP analysis, and eventually, web application vulnerabilities.

Each write-up reflects:

• What I actually learned (not just task answers)
• Tools and commands I used
• Key takeaways from the badge or module
• How I’m applying this knowledge
