Why I Started This Blog

🧠 A Place to Learn in Public

For the longest time, I’ve been learning and exploring in silence — working through machines on HackTheBox and TryHackMe, taking notes locally, and moving on to the next thing. But over time I realized something important:

If you don’t write it down, you’ll forget. If you don’t share it, you won’t grow.

This blog is my answer to that realization.


✍️ Why I’m Starting This Blog

I’m building this blog to:

  • Improve my note-taking and documentation skills.
    Writing clear, structured walkthroughs is essential in InfoSec and will also help me in my day-to-day work.

  • Track my personal growth.
    Over time, I want to look back and see how much I’ve learned — not just technically, but also in how I explain and communicate ideas.

  • Build a public portfolio.
    This blog will showcase my thinking process, persistence, and problem-solving ability — useful for future opportunities in security or tech.


🚀 What You’ll Find Here

To start with, I’ll mainly post:

  • Write-ups for HackTheBox and TryHackMe machines
  • Notes and thoughts on courses, certifications, and learning paths
  • Occasionally some posts on tools, workflows, or tips I find helpful

🎯 Long-Term Goal

This is more than just a blog. It’s my digital lab notebook — where I learn, reflect, and grow in public.

If you stumble across this and find anything useful (or want to exchange ideas), feel free to reach out.

Let’s hack, learn, and grow — one post at a time.
