Just released a beginner-friendly tutorial for anyone getting started on Hack The Box (HTB) - one of the best hands-on learning platforms for ethical hacking and cybersecurity.

In this video, I cover:
🔹 What is Hack The Box Starting Point
🔹 How to download the OpenVPN (.ovpn) configuration file
🔹 What OpenVPN is and why Hack The Box uses it
🔹 Why using a Virtual Machine (NAT mode) is safer than Docker or host
🔹 How to connect to the Hack The Box VPN using OpenVPN
🔹 How to spawn a machine and verify VPN connectivity with ping

📺 If you are new to ethical hacking (or want to get started), this guide will get you up and running in minutes.

I published my walkthrough for Artificial on #HackTheBox. In this box, I used Remote Code Execution to get a shell, cracked some password hashes, and exploited a backup application to elevate my privileges.

We're back home after another amazing @hackfest . My son and I had a great time attending talks, watching the social engineering contest, and participating in the Hackfest Generation village.

A huge thank you to the organizers, volunteers, speakers, and sponsors. We're already looking forward to next year. My wife and my other son might even come with us this time.

I'm throwing away my conference badges I kept for many years. Looking at the pile of lanyards, it looks like I went to quite a few conferences.

I also have a few electronic badges that are still in a box somewhere.

J'ai beaucoup aimé l'épisode panel du BSides de @polysecure . Les panels sont toujours excellents.

Et quel excellent titre: Les boeufs sont lents mais la terre est patiente.

Par contre j'ai du avoir l'air un peu fou à rire tout seul au gym.

I published my walkthrough for Planning on #HackTheBox.

In this box, I had to exploit a known vulnerability in Grafana to get a shell, find some credentials to get a user connection. And finally exploit an application to manage cron jobs to get root.
