Every month (or so), I host a @hackthebox meetup with the @hackfest community. I share my screen and we hack a machine together, live. The first Wednesday of the month is in French, the second in English.

The format is beginner-friendly: we tackle Easy or Medium rated machines. Since I only pick machines I've already completed, we avoid getting stuck for too long — the goal is to learn and improve together.

Interested? Sign up on Meetup (https://www.meetup.com/hack-the-box-meetup-quebec-qc-canada/) and join the #mob-hacking-nights channel on the Hackfest Discord (https://discord.com/channels/724131514161561653/1417514329355325511).

Tonight is the French edition — we're tackling the RedPanda (https://app.hackthebox.com/machines/RedPanda) box. See you there! Next week is the English edition — same box, same format, same fun. Hope to see you too!

BSidesCLT is proud to announce our CTF will be hosted by @hackthebox ! Registration for the CTF will be announced before the conference, so keep an eye out! #bsides #cyber #security #conference #ctf #capturetheflag #hackthebox #htb

For beginners in cybersecurity, the "Starting Point" machines on Hack The Box are an invaluable resource. However, many tutorials simply tell you what to type to get the flag.

In my latest YouTube video, I take a different approach with the Meow machine (Tier-0).

I believe that to become a proficient penetration tester or bug bounty hunter, you need to understand the fundamentals.

🔹 What is the purpose of specific Nmap flags like -sV or -Pn?
🔹 How is a port scan like checking the doors of a house?
🔹 Why is Telnet considered insecure compared to SSH?

I break down these concepts step-by-step, ensuring that you are not just memorising commands, but actually learning the logic behind each step.

Whether you are a student, a career switcher, or just curious about ethical hacking, this walkthrough will give you the solid foundation you need.

This is part of an ongoing beginner-friendly series where I will be covering all of the Hack The Box Starting Point machines, step by step.

🎥 Watch the Meow walkthrough here:

If you are transitioning into cybersecurity, bug bounty, or pentesting - this series is built for you.

Happy learning and keep hacking ethically 🔐

Just released a beginner-friendly tutorial for anyone getting started on Hack The Box (HTB) - one of the best hands-on learning platforms for ethical hacking and cybersecurity.

In this video, I cover:
🔹 What is Hack The Box Starting Point
🔹 How to download the OpenVPN (.ovpn) configuration file
🔹 What OpenVPN is and why Hack The Box uses it
🔹 Why using a Virtual Machine (NAT mode) is safer than Docker or host
🔹 How to connect to the Hack The Box VPN using OpenVPN
🔹 How to spawn a machine and verify VPN connectivity with ping

📺 If you are new to ethical hacking (or want to get started), this guide will get you up and running in minutes.

Man, my stats on @realtryhackme are kind of pitiful. Mainly because most of my time has been on @hackthebox or busy looking for work.

Im not sure why nobody else notice this things but I do, most hackers I have meet during my live and I have got along with, those who I never meet but I wish I did or the vast mayority of the ones that actually do something for good have those hacker ethics in common even if they do not know... for my surprise turns out Marcus Hutchins that I have only basically say hi to in the pass 1 time at defcon is another person that I see with those qualities, of course did not know but I always though he did for his comments and watching the documentary of him now just probes it here is a screenshot of what he said while waiting for trial in Los Angeles US
