4th-year engineering student running a Kali fsociety box, currently in cybersecurity internships and building toward ethical hacking and penetration testing. Self-directed, hands-on, allergic to copy-paste learning.
the path
An attack chain for a career, not a target. Seven phases from recon to operator. Tap any node for a dossier — what it is, why it matters, and where to learn it. Pass the knowledge check to clear a node; your clearance level climbs. Progress is saved in your browser.
tutorials
Step-by-step practical walkthroughs — recon to exploitation — built from lab sessions and CTF experience. Every tutorial includes real commands, scope warnings, and the thinking behind each step.

toolbox
Live browser tools — no install needed. Encode payloads, identify hashes, look up CVEs, test regex patterns, and reference common port intel.

journey
The Beginning
Caught the bug. Started with networking fundamentals — OSI, TCP/IP, ARP, DNS — and a first Kali dual-boot.
Tools & CTF Foundations
Installed the core kit: SecLists, tmux, Obsidian. Solved Google's XSS Game. Dissected ARP packet structure by hand.
MitM & Wireless
Learned MitM with Bettercap, ARP/DNS spoofing, WPA2 handshake capture. Started the ethical-hacking-notes repo.
Full Kali + Burp Pro
Fresh dual-boot on the ASUS TUF F16. Fought GRUB, TLP, clock sync. Bought Burp Suite Pro, set up Java 21, started PortSwigger labs.
Knowledge Vault
Built a cross-linked Obsidian vault: OSI, ARP, firewalls, Wireshark, DNS. Delivered an internship talk on WannaCry & the Sony breach.
Internship + MCP
Summer cybersecurity internship. Wired Metasploit MCP and Aircrack MCP into the fsociety box. Running recon against lab targets, taming the RTL8852BE driver.
field notes
Methodology notes from labs I own and engagements I'm authorised on. High-level technique, not a how-to-attack-strangers manual — that's the whole difference between a pentester and a problem.
proving ground
Web Security Academy
Primary web-app range. Working XSS, SQLi, SSRF, IDOR and auth-bypass labs.
XSS Game
All 6 levels down, including the DOM-based level via a data: URI bypass.
Learning Paths
Beginner→intermediate rooms: networking, Linux, web fundamentals.
Starting Point
Practical machine hacking — building real exploitation reps from the ground up.
