Welcome to ThePwnedNetwork Hacks! 🚀

This is my digital playground and knowledge vault for everything cybersecurity. Forget just one certification journey; this is where I dive deep into the entire cyber universe – from capturing flags in intense CTFs and hunting elusive bugs in source code, to building robust defenses on the blue team side, and exploring all the fascinating misc stuff in between!

I live by the Try Harder mindset. Expect to see that philosophy woven into every write-up. Every pwned machine, every vulnerability found, every defense built – it’s all documented here, turning challenges into shared knowledge. This is a space to learn, experiment, and have fun breaking (and fixing) things!

Who Am I? 🤔

I’m a cybersecurity enthusiast constantly exploring the digital landscape. With hands-on experience spanning penetration testing, security operations, and digital forensics, I love switching hats between attacker and defender. My passion lies in understanding systems deeply enough to both exploit and secure them effectively.

My Arsenal: Tech Skills & Experience 💻

Here’s a snapshot of my toolkit and areas of focus:

  • Programming Languages: Java, Python, C++, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React.
  • Cybersecurity Domains:
    • → Offensive Ops: Red Teaming, Web App Sec, Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing (VAPT), AD Exploitation, Privilege Escalation, Post-Exploitation.
    • → Defensive Ops: SOC Operations, Digital Forensics & Incident Response (DFIR), Threat Detection & Automation, Network Security Monitoring.
    • → CTF & Bug Bounty: Real-world exploitation techniques, recon, reporting.
  • Security Tools: Burp Suite, Metasploit, Nmap, SQLmap, Hydra, John the Ripper, Wireshark, Wazuh, Zeek, Snort, and a constantly growing collection.
  • Automation & Threat Response: Proficient in using tools like Shuffler (and others!) to automate workflows and implement real-time threat detection.
