One hacker's journey through the world of cybersecurity
I'm a passionate cybersecurity enthusiast who loves solving challenges and sharing knowledge with the community. This blog is my way of documenting my journey through various Capture The Flag (CTF) challenges, penetration testing exercises, and security research.
Each walkthrough represents hours of learning, problem-solving, and skill development, explained with technical detail and a sense of humor. My goal is to help others learn from my experiences and make cybersecurity more accessible to everyone.
Whether you're a beginner just starting out or an experienced player looking for new perspectives, I hope you find something valuable here.
Detailed write-ups of challenges from HackTheBox, TryHackMe, and other platforms. I break down my thought process, tools used, and lessons learned from each machine.
Tutorials, guides, and personal insights on cybersecurity topics. I write about the things I'm learning, the mistakes I've made, and the "aha!" moments along the way.
Exploring different pentesting tools, automation scripts, and methodologies. I share what works for me and what doesn't, so you can learn from my experiments.
Building a resource for fellow cybersecurity learners. Every walkthrough and tutorial is written with beginners in mind, without skipping the important details.
I don't just show you the commands – I explain why they work, what they do, and when to use them. The goal is understanding, not just completion.
I include my failed attempts and dead ends. Cybersecurity isn't about always knowing the answer – it's about the process of finding it.
Every writeup assumes you're learning. I define terms, explain concepts, and provide context that experienced hackers might take for granted.
I only write about retired machines and legal challenges. HackPath respects platform rules and promotes responsible disclosure practices.
Every hacker has their own path – their own way of learning, thinking, and solving problems. This blog is my path through the cybersecurity landscape. I'm documenting my journey not because I have all the answers, but because sharing the journey helps both me and others learn better.
Join me on this journey through cybersecurity. Read the walkthroughs, try the challenges yourself, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions or just want to discuss security topics.
