@NorthSec is over. Once again I had a blast. I learned a ton of stuff, and I know I will still learn more reading the writeups people will publish. I need to get started on mines.
Thanks to everyone involved in making the event. I enjoy it every year. A special thanks to the challenge designers. The CTF is always amazing.
Every month (or so), I host a @hackthebox meetup with the @hackfest community. I share my screen and we hack a machine together, live. The first Wednesday of the month is in French, the second in English.
The format is beginner-friendly: we tackle Easy or Medium rated machines. Since I only pick machines I've already completed, we avoid getting stuck for too long — the goal is to learn and improve together.
Interested? Sign up on Meetup (https://www.meetup.com/hack-the-box-meetup-quebec-qc-canada/) and join the #mob-hacking-nights channel on the Hackfest Discord (https://discord.com/channels/724131514161561653/1417514329355325511).
Tonight is the French edition — we're tackling the RedPanda (https://app.hackthebox.com/machines/RedPanda) box. See you there! Next week is the English edition — same box, same format, same fun. Hope to see you too!
Anyone who is interested in cybersecurity and penetration testing should join this group. The purpose of this Meetup is to meet other infosec enthusiasts, discuss, exchange knowledge regarding cybersecurity, hack machines from Hack The Box dedicated to this gathering, and enjoy.In Hack The Box Meetu

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.
