Starting my offensive journey

As a security engineer in @kiongroup’s cyber defense center I help improving detection capabilities, do incident response, automate security processes and work on security best practices. Besides that I develop software at @main_defense.

Although I’m fascinated by the creativity of sophisticated attacks, I feel like I’ve always been on the defender’s side. Time to change that! Today I will start my offensive journey to learn more about the attacker side and how to break things. These are my goals in no specific order:

• Gain root access to a hard box on Hack The Box
• Play (and win :)) a CTF
• Earn my first $ in a bug bounty program
• Pass a relevant certification
• Share my progress and interesting stuff in this blog at least once a week (in progress)

As being dad stays prio 1, there’s no fixed time schedule to achieve the goals, so don’t expect too much content ;-)

I will post regular updates on my Homepage, Linkedin and Twitter. Let’s connect!
