About Me
Thanks for being here!
I’m Abdo, an offensive security specialist who loves digging into how systems work and finding creative ways to break them. My focus is on Securing Active Directory, Web Applications, APIs, and Cloud environments.
I don’t just break things for fun (though it is fun); I do it to understand the weak points and help fix them. This blog is where I document my research, writeups, and the things I learn along the way.
When I’m not working on an engagement, you’ll usually find me:
- Developing and contributing to open-source tools.
- Ranking up on HackTheBox and TryHackMe.
- Researching new CVEs and exploitation techniques.
I’m always open to discussing security, collaboration, or new challenges. If you’re looking for someone who is technically curious and driven by “how it works” under the hood, let’s talk.
