learning Relaxing for a bit, and learning at my pace I recently decided to take a bit of a break from work. I was overdoing it and burning out. It's working out for the best so far, and I'm feeling great. I slowed down and started learning at my own pace. Instead of forcing

htb Hack the Box -- Buff My writeup of Buff. It's taken from my GitHub notes, before I really started to focus on doing writeups. The original wasn't written with a blog post in mind, but I'll be updating the live post to fix it up and add any relevant
htb Learning day part 3: Reading other HTB writeups -- Tabby, and finding new tools I once received some advice from a dude who is pretty good at this kind of stuff to read other writeups once I've solved a box.

python Remembering Input Validation and Error Handling As you may know, I've been working on a script that has a working title of EZShellz, or something to that effect. It's not totally official, but it seems to be sticking at this point, so that may become its permanent name. Anyway, I've

hackthebox Hack the Box - Sense This is actually one of my least favorite boxes. The wordlist I had to use to have any idea of what to do next was obnoxiously long. After you get past that hurdle, it's pretty much instaroot from there. That said, I try to
