My Puzzled Journey In Cyber Security

Hello everyone

I hope that everyone is doing well and reaching your goals and aspirations, I wish
everyone a great evening/morning, my name is crypt, a infosec enthusiast, loving to break things and bring them together.

My journey in infosec started with jailbreaking iPhone and rooting android phones, I have a high sense of curiosity and love to break things, of course to make them better, which led me to learn Linux and read a lot of books and tutorials.

Later in my journey I started taking courses in Udemy, learning on Code Academy multiple programming languages like Python, Javascript, Java, PHP and more. I have admired many mentors of mine like OTW, “Occupy the web” , Kodi and other Null byte educators that I personally learned a lot from and enabled me to be confident I can do better.
In 2020 we started our community of infosec enthusiasts that love cyber security and are eager to learn and improve, we participated in many CTF Events ranging from beginner to intermediate, we have grown so much and found a lot of progression into our community we learned from each other in this journey. Later that year or a few month after I started playing on Hackthebox, I kept working hard on improving my skill level and rooting easy machines, loved how Ippsec explains these walkthroughs and kept going until I reached Rank Hacker, I know it’s not a really high rank, but I was in addition to rooting these boxes I was taking notes
and documenting my writeups and the writeups then grown to be articles here on medium which if you’d like I can share for some reference, I was doing this because I was always dreaming to get my OSCP and pursue a career in Cyber Security, back then I was just studying art and 3D design.

I’m still learning and consider myself in the mid-level from beginner to intermediate, in the past I used to learn a lot about wifi hacking, android apps that helps you to hack when you have a rooted phone for sure, I remember those times where I wait for aircrack to crack the hash passwords of WPA/WPA2 back then I used to succeed with reaver/bully WPS exploit and manage to get the password within 2mins which
actually impressed me and got me so thrilled and happy, keep in mind that I took permission before hacking those networks. Every hack I did when I was young was just for the fun of it, I never damaged or misused my power.

I remember those times when I keep getting kali to break and sometimes the
network will not work, so I learned the way of troubleshooting and solving these issues along the way, back then years ago, there was not that much of information about hacking as of now, you had to look for them yourself.
