SecuringHardware.com is a vibrant, community-driven platform born out of the need to transition specialized hardware security education online during the pandemic. I connected with my client through Portland's local hacker community, and together we envisioned a space that not only offers courses and workshops on applied physical attacks but also serves as a hub for engaging blog content and event updates. The goal was to empower both software security experts and hardware validation professionals to expand their skills in a rapidly evolving security landscape.
To achieve this, the project was split into two key components. For the interactive courses, I built a dedicated Wordpress site powered by LearnDash on a subdomain, delivering a customized and seamless learning experience. Meanwhile, my client wanted an effortless way to manage and publish blog posts using markdown. To meet this need, I chose Jekyll, which allowed for simple, markdown-driven content updates, ensuring that new courses, insights, and events could be added with ease.
