Who Am I?
A Strength & Conditioning (MSc) coach turned Penetration Tester with a short stop to Software Engineering. A Cybersecurity (BSc) student trying to improve his pentesting and CTF skills through various platforms.
I have also been an Esports athlete in the game of (Dota/Dota2) for over a decade where I was always deeply involved in various local and international communities. As a result, I am also trying to be as involved as possible in CTF communities and you will find me lurking around in various Discord servers, such as HackTheBox, OUCSS, and WorkSmarter.
Fancy a game of chess or its human version ?
Why Pentest Journeys?
I will be writing write ups for all the completed CTFs for reviewing the process myself as well as digging into the nitty-gritty of each room. Hopefully, aside from my own benefit, people who are complete beginners, like me, might find these posts helpful.
Additionally, I am currently studying for HTB’s CPTS certification, and after completing it, I plan to make a review of the Penetration Tester Job Role Path as well as the exam itself.
