About

I'm Ben Sadeghipour, though you might know me better as NahamSec. As a hacker, content creator, and keynote speaker, I'm passionate about teaching others the art of ethical hacking and building a stronger security community.

My journey in hacking began in my teenage years, but I turned professional in 2014, diving into ethical hacking and bug bounty hunting. Since then, I've identified and helped resolve thousands of security vulnerabilities across major platforms including Amazon, Apple, Google, Airbnb, Snapchat, Zoom, and the US Department of Defense. Before focusing on content creation, I served as the Head of Hacker Education at HackerOne.

Today, you'll find me creating educational content on YouTube and Twitch, where I help newcomers navigate the world of ethical hacking, bug bounties, and reconnaissance. I'm also the founder of HackingHub, an educational platform where we're training the next generation of ethical hackers through hands-on learning and practical experience. When I'm not hacking or teaching, I'm probably gaming – you might catch me playing Watchdogs, GTA V, PUBG, R6 Siege, or Call of Duty Warzone!
