What Undercode Say
Ethical hacking is a high-demand skill, and Maimouna’s achievement proves that diversity strengthens cybersecurity. Mastering tools like Nmap, Metasploit, and Burp Suite is just the beginning. Aspiring hackers should:
– Practice on HTB (Hack The Box) or TryHackMe.
– Earn certifications like CEH or OSCP.
– Stay updated with CVE databases (e.g., cve.mitre.org).
Prediction: More women will dominate cybersecurity roles by 2030, bridging the gender gap in tech.
Expected Output:
