Hi, I'm Jhaxx.
I'm on a self-directed path into offensive security, working toward the OSCP by way of homelabs and CTFs. My background is in sales and IT support, which means I came to this late and starting from scratch — and loving every second of it! I spend my time on HackTheBox and Hack Smarter, grinding CTFs, and documenting everything I learn along the way.
This space is where I track the journey — machines, write-ups, tools, rabbit holes. Mostly HTB and Hack Smarter Labs. Occasionally something breaks in an interesting way and that ends up here too. The OSCP is the target. Everything else is prep.
| Platform | Boxes | Description |
|---|---|---|
| HackTheBox | Cicada, TwoMillion | Retired HTB machines — web, AD, Linux privesc |
| Hack Smarter | Share The Pain, Building Magic, Anomaly, Sysco, ShadowGate, Samurai, Arasaka | OSCP-aligned AD and infrastructure challenges |
