About This Site

SeibertSecurity.com is a personal cybersecurity knowledge hub and learning blog built to map, document, and share my journey in security training, hands-on labs, and technical skill-building. Here, you’ll find practical guides, virtual machine setups, security tool walkthroughs, and analysis of the latest threats and defenses.

Who Am I?

My name is Levi Seibert - I am a software engineer in Huntsville, Alabama. My work is quite dynamic - I do a mix of software development, emulation/virtualization, reverse engineering, vulnerability research, and system analysis. As such, my technical focus (and in turn, the focus of this site) will be in some of these fields.

Education

One of the greatest blessings of my life was being homeschooled my my entire K-12 education. This non-traditional academic style openned the door to me dual-enrolling in my local community college (Calhoun Community College) while in high school. Granted, non-homeschooled students certainly can also participate in dual enrollment, but the flexibilty of homeschool allowed me to complete my Associate’s Degree in General Studies the same month I completed high school (which was also the month I turned 17).

I knew I wanted to get a CS/Cybersecurity degree from Athens State University before I even started at Calhoun. And that is what I did. In Spring 2022, I was awarded a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a concentration in Information Security and minors in Mathatmatics, Computer Forensics, and Computer Networking from Athens State University. I graduated with a 3.96 GPA and was selected as I was selected as the 2022 Outstanding Computer Science graudate (granted it is a small CS department).

I went on from there to puruse my Master of Science in Computer Science degree, also from Athens State University. I was awarded that degree in Fall 2024. As a part of my studies, I wrote a thesis entitiled, “Mitigating Social Engineering Threats with Machine Learning.” If you would like to learn more about this thesis and the research and application behind, it visit Thesis. You can read other papers from my undergradaute and graduate studies at School Papers.
