Completed Web Requests

This module introduces the topic of HTTP web requests and how different web applications utilize them to communicate with their backends.

I really enjoyed going through the Bug Bounty Hunter Path on HTB Academy. I learned some cool tricks and would recommend this to anyone interested in hacking web apps. https://academy.hackthebox.com/achievement/badge/4342eaf5-61e5-11f0-bcfd-bea50ffe6cb4 #hackthebox #htbacademy #cybersecurity

I just completed module HTTPs/TLS Attacks in HTB Academy! https://academy.hackthebox.com/achievement/55588/184 #hackthebox #htbacademy #cybersecurity
Completed HTTPs/TLS Attacks

This module covers details on Transport Layer Security (TLS) and how it helps to make HTTP secure with the widely used HTTPS. That includes how TLS works, how TLS sessions are established, common TLS misconfigurations, as well as famous attacks on TLS. We will discuss how to identify, exploit, and prevent TLS attacks.

I've kicked off my prep for #CAPE by #HTB. So far, the materials are hella comprehensive, and the labs are running pretty smooth, though you can spot a few slip-ups.

Feeling Stuck in Bug Bounty Hunting? Let’s Talk About Mental Blocks

If you’ve been struggling to make progress in cybersecurity, you’re not alone. I’ve been stuck for over a month, dealing with mental blocks like:

- Impostor Syndrome: “I’m not good enough to compete.”
- Fear of Failure: “What if I spend all this time and don’t succeed?”
- Overwhelm: “There’s so much to learn, where do I even start?”
- Perfectionism: “I need to know everything before I try.”

Here’s what I’ve learned to push through:
1.Reframe Your Thinking: Every expert was once a beginner. You’re not behind; you’re learning step by step.
2.Start Small: Focus on one vulnerability (e.g., XSS, SQLi) or one learning module at a time.
3.Practice Over Perfection: Don’t wait to feel ready - jump into platforms like HTB or TryHackMe.
4.Celebrate Wins: Even understanding a new concept is progress worth celebrating.

Cybersecurity can feel isolating, but it doesn’t have to be. If you’re also struggling with mental blocks, let’s connect, share experiences, and hold each other accountable. Progress is better together.

What’s been your biggest challenge lately? Let’s talk!

This module will take you step-by-step through the fundamentals of JavaScript Deobfuscation until you can deobfuscate basic JavaScript code and understand its purpose.

I just completed module Password Attacks in HTB Academy! https://academy.hackthebox.com/achievement/1831/147 #hackthebox #htbacademy #cybersecurity
Completed Password Attacks

Passwords are still the primary method of authentication in corporate networks. If strong password policies are not in place, users will often opt for weak, easy-to-remember passwords that can often be cracked offline and used to further our access. We will encounter passwords in many forms during our assessments. We must understand the various ways they are stored, how they can be retrieved, methods to crack weak passwords, ways to use hashes that cannot be cracked, and hunting for weak/default password usage.

I received my swag kit for completing the Hack the Box Certified Penetratration Specialist exam. This was a wild ride! #HTB #HTBAcademy #HackTheWorld
