Who I Am
I’m Jean. SOC Analyst working graveyard shifts, breaking boxes every hour I’m not at work, building my way into offensive security. This blog is where I document what I learn — the boxes I root, the techniques I pick up, the mistakes I make, and the methodology I’m building for the OSCP exam.
