Hello, good hunter1. I’m j1ndoSH a blue teamer, working in a CERT (wearing a Threat Intel/Hunter hat) and a hobbyist red teamer (doing HTB, CTFs and learning all about red-teaming). If you like acronyms here are some of mine:

  • CRTO Certified Red Team Operator
  • CPTS Certified Penetration Testing Specialist
  • GCTI GIAC Cyber Threat Intelligence
  • GMON GIAC Continuous Monitoring Certification

What will I find here?

The broad answer to this question is “IT security content”. For the time being this will be mostly HTB write-ups and impressions/reviews for trainings and conferences. This entire journal also serves as exercise in technical writing and encourage better quality note taking. All the while helping to gain deeper insights here and there.

About the journal itself

This journal is created using a combination of Quartz and Obsidian. The latter is make daily note taking application where I document all sorts of things. The former is a highly customizable static side generator that is capable of working with Obsidian-flavored Markdown. This allows to only make minimal changes to my notes before I can publish them here. Thankfully Quartz is very well documented, which enabled to customise this blog to my liking. This includes the Gruvbox theme, default darkmode, my picture in the top right and some minor adjustments for mobile users.
