It's Saturday. Someone is spending their weekend rewriting their CV for the 10th time. Tweaking fonts. Adjusting margins. Rewording bullet points. Monday they'll send it out. Hear nothing back. Again. Not because they're not good enough. Because a robot rejected them in 3 seconds. 🧵

Spent a long time stuck on a HTB "find the config file" task , kept tweaking date filters and size precision, got nowhere. Turned out the real bug wasn't my filters at all. I was searching /etc only, when the file lived elsewhere entirely. Scope was the problem, not the flags. Lesson: question where you're looking, not just what you're looking for. #CyberSecurity #Linux #HackTheBox #LearningInPublic

@util_center @file Exactly, that's what got me stuck for a bit. I kept re-checking my JSON syntax instead of checking what was actually being sent over the wire. Should've thrown -v in earlier to see the real request body instead of trusting the error message's framing.

@PostandIReply @file That one is painful because the error points at JSON, but the real bug is the request shape

Spent way longer than I'd like to admit today chasing a "invalid JSON" error on a pentest lab. Turned out --data-raw @file.json ≠ -d @file.json in cURL, one reads the file, the other sends the literal string "@file.json" as-is. 🤦 Session auth + JSON POST replication, done. Small bug, big lesson in reading the docs instead of assuming. #CyberSecurity #PenTesting #curl #TIL

Quick one today: found the inode (index) number of /etc/sudoers using ls -i. Every file on Linux has a unique index number tied to the filesystem, small detail, but stuff like this comes up a lot in privilege escalation later on. Still grinding through Linux Fundamentals 🐧 #CyberSecurity #Linux #HackTheBox #LearningInPublic

One day companies will start to poach me. But let them keep ignoring my messages and emails for now.

Chipping away at the Linux Fundamentals module today 🐧 (13% in, steady progress) SSH'd into a target and pulled real system info — kernel release, home directory, mail spool path, default shell, and network interface MTU using core commands like uname, ip a, and /etc/passwd. Also learned the hard way to always double check which machine I'm actually connected to 😅 #CyberSecurity #Linux #HackTheBox #LearningInPublic

@AdePelumi15 hmmm my broda

When does this building actually brings in the income??? 🤧

Currently deep in Linux fundamentals on my HTB skill path 🐧 Learning the file system structure — /etc, /var, /home, /tmp, and why knowing where things live matters way more than it sounds once you get into privesc and log hunting. Slow and steady, building the foundation properly. #CyberSecurity #Linux #HackTheBox #LearningInPublic

@akanbi_kunle Hehee I just connected with you because I saw this post and I also started my journey as a cyber security analyst, going into Pentester actually, saw your profile and I will be grateful if you could share some cues a Pentester

Leave Burpsuite an go to church ⛪️ . The vulnerability is not running away. But 🤔 attack might see it before I come back from church ooo. Church WAY #dlcommunity #appsec

@somadinaaaa To be honest

Thank God for Claude

I have just completed the Web Requests module on HTB Academy! academy.hackthebox.com/achievement/16… #hackthebox #htbacademy #cybersecurity

Day 3 of my cybersecurity journey 🚩 Went deep on API testing today with cURL, session cookies, JSON POST requests, and full CRUD attacks (GET → PUT → DELETE) against a REST API to expose broken access control. Fought through shell-quoting hell across PowerShell and cmd along the way. Worth it. #CyberSecurity #InfoSec #HackTheBox #LearningInPublic #Day3
