🔥 How I learned hacking
Forget generic YouTube and paid course spam.
Here's how I actually became a pentester:
- Started with Hack The Box and TryHackMe (free, real machines)
- Daily practice: Even 30 mins beats 0. Consistency > talent.
- Writeups only after brute forcing everything myself
- Re-exploit old boxes: After 1-2 weeks, try again from zero!
- Own toolkit: Scripts for everything boring or repetitive
💡 My "grind" rules
- Manual recon always: Not just autopilot scanning
- Google everything: Even the weirdest errors or random strings
- Note everything: Success/fail, what worked, what failed, and why
- Come back to hard boxes after a break – biggest “aha” moments always come on 2nd try
- Teach others: Write, share, explain – you’ll learn more yourself
🚀 Tips for beginners
- Start with easy/medium Hack The Box machines: That’s the real playground
- Set up your own lab: VM, Kali, Windows, vulnerable VMs
- Don’t expect quick wins: Struggling is part of the learning curve!
- Be curious as hell: Don’t just ask “how?” but “why?” on every step
- Never be ashamed to note down what you don’t understand
🤙 NoSec personal advice
- Don’t give up in 1-2 hours: Some bugs took me DAYS
- Laugh at your own fails: Every disaster is a future lesson
- Embrace the grind: Writeups aren’t for reading, they’re for writing!
🛠️ My daily workflow
- Coffee. Headphones. VPN.
- 20min of recon (nmap, ffuf, whatever)
- If I find something: Attack, payload, script, repeat
- If I’m stuck: Note + Google, but only after I really tried everything!
- Every day = a tiny win, even if no root
- Next day: new machine, or try an old nemesis until it falls
No spam. No generic content. Only my real journey.
