Firewalls, beats, and hidden secrets 🔐

Meet Haithem Sandel, an international student from Algeria who is solving cybersecurity challenges and learning the secrets of the digital world. On his most memorable discovery so far, he comments:

Steganography completely blew my mind. The idea that you can hide a secret text file inside an ordinary image, like a photo of a cat or a landscape, without changing how it looks to the naked eye is fascinating. It really taught me that in the digital world, nothing is ever exactly what it seems.
