Hello — I’m Michael. I bring extensive experience from the security industry and a solid background in debt recovery, and I’m now focused on transitioning into cyber security. I hold a Level 1 Award in Cyber Security and a Level 2 Certificate in the Principles of Cyber Security, and I am working toward the Level 3 Certificate in Networking and Cyber Security.
This site presents my hands-on cyber security work: projects, technical reports, write-ups, and tools & scripts that explore network, web, and cloud security. Much of the material is produced during practical learning on TryHackMe and GitHub — and I welcome feedback and opportunities for collaboration.

I’m building Sp00f.co.uk in my spare time — an interactive anti-phishing training platform that will let me pair short slide lessons with a live, safe spoof-website simulator. Learners will be able to step through realistic scenarios so they can spot red flags and practice response decisions, not just read about them. To push realism I intentionally use the same AI techniques attackers use to generate convincing fake emails, images and videos — but always in a controlled, ethical way (sandbox domains, simulated forms, clear consent). The project blends web development, UX, security awareness, and applied AI, and has sharpened my skills in product design and secure implementation.

We all know that phishing is dangerous. But here’s the thing: knowing it’s a threat is one thing—actually spotting a real attack in a crowded inbox? That’s something else entirely. That gap between theory and instinct... that’s exactly where cybercriminals thrive.
This community is here to close that gap.
We’re building a practical, simulation-led training ecosystem. The goal is simple: helping businesses turn their teams into confident, capable ‘human firewalls.’ There’s no jargon here, and no fear-mongering—just hands-on experience with realistic threats, all within a completely safe environment.
So, what can you expect? We’ve designed comprehensive training modules where I’ll guide your team through real-world phishing scenarios. We offer two ways to learn:
First, there’s the 15-Minute Quick Hit. This is a fast, high-impact session for busy teams who just need the essentials, without any of the fluff. Then, we have the 45-Minute Deep Dive. This is much more immersive, featuring guided group activities, live use of our simulator, and downloadable sessions to test your instincts in real time.
You can actually start right now. Everyone—even those outside our free tier—gets full access to our Safe Spoof Simulator. You’ll find that at S-P-zero-zero-f... dot co... dot u-k. It’s a secure space where you can see what a malicious website really looks like, without any of the risk. Plus, as a free member, you’ll be the first to get our Initial Training Videos the moment they drop.
Cybercriminals are constantly evolving. Your training should, too. By joining us, you’re supporting a curriculum that stays as current as the threats themselves.
Our website and simulator are live right now. So, have a look around and see the quality for yourself. Join us as a free member today, and let's make phishing threats easier to spot—and much harder for attackers to exploit.
I’ll see you in the first module.
