About SecForge

What this is

SecForge is an independent education project on artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and the tools practitioners actually use day to day. It exists because most product comparisons in this space are written by — or paid for by — the companies being compared.

What we cover

• AI from zero. What LLMs are, what they aren't, and the workflows that turn them into useful tools instead of confident bullshitters.
• Prompts. Real prompts for study, productivity, code review, and security work. Every prompt comes with a use case, a personalisation hint, and a privacy note.
• Tool comparisons. Reproducible head-to-head benchmarks. Methodology versioned. Test plans published.
• Cybersecurity from zero. Vocabulary, networks, Linux, cryptography, threat modelling. A guided path, not a poster.
• Lab walkthroughs. Build a home lab. Practise on intentionally-vulnerable VMs. Never touch what isn't yours.
• News. What changed this week, contextualised for practitioners.

What we will not do

• Accept payment from vendors for ratings, mentions, or placement.
• Publish content sponsored by a tool without labelling it.
• Run intrusive ads. If we add display advertising, it will be clearly labelled and third-party served.
• Sell, share, or rent your email if you ever subscribe.

Who runs it

SecForge is run by Daniel Asensio. Editorial decisions are independent. Disclosures are on the disclosures page.
