Welcome to my blog.

I am Wirzka: human being driven by passion, curiosity and willingness to learn.

I enjoy discovering how the magic happens and love sharing that knowledge with others even more.

CRTO: wirzka's two cents

I finally earned the CRTO badge, and I want to give some feedback that I did not see anywhere else (Forgive me if I am wrong). TL;DR Throughout the course I felt a bit confused about its structure and how it would align with the “attack life cycle” I have in mind. Start from C2 setup and MS Defender bypass, then do the rest of the course. I did not enjoyed a lot the course itself, but I loved the exam....

Do you really enjoy drowning like that? Cmon, tackle the issues

Intro Everyone’s life has a lowest common denominator: problems (death and taxes would have been too obvious).

CTF: I failed

I took the process the wrong way 2020 has been quite a weird year for me and not just because of covid-19. I’ve earned my Sec+, I’ve read more InfoSec related books, I’ve spent a lot of time on TryHackMe and OverTheWire platforms, I’ve switched my job (again) and I’ve started the University. It is a lot of changing, at least for me and that’s why I lost sight. Yes, I have to admit it, I failed and I’m gonna explain it to you so that may help you....
