Cyber Nerd Discord Bot

Cyber Nerd Discord Bot

The Cyber Nerd Discord Bot is an interactive cybersecurity learning bot designed to continuously challenge and educate users through daily questions, live updates, and automated intelligence drops.

It is built entirely in JavaScript and served as a major learning milestone for me. Through this project, I learned how to:

• Consume and normalize RSS feeds
• Pull data from multiple news outlets
• Schedule and continuously push updates
• Handle edge cases, failures, and malformed data gracefully

The bot creates a steady flow of cybersecurity knowledge while reinforcing consistency, automation, and reliability—core skills for detection engineering and security operations.
