About
👋 whoami?
Hey there! I’m Hamza Rhirha, a junior penetration tester who loves breaking, fixing, and understanding systems from the inside out. I’ve had the chance to work with a professional security team during my time at Stryve, one of Ireland’s top cybersecurity providers, this experience helped me learn the ropes of real-world offensive security, especially communicating my finding with clients.
💻 what i do
I learn by building and breaking small systems. Most of my writeups are practical walkthroughs of Hack The Box machines or vulnerability experiments — focused on:
- Web exploitation
- Linux and Windows post-exploitation
- Basic Active Directory attacks
Each post is about understanding why something works, not just how to exploit it.
🧠 tech stuff i’m into
I’m comfortable working with:
- C/C++, Python, and Shell scripting for automation and quick exploits
- Web development fundamentals — which helps me understand web apps better
- Linux systems, Active Directory environments, permissions, and misconfigurations
- Common tools like
nmap,Burp Suite,Hashcatand others
🚀 what drives me
I’m all about continuous learning — every box, every bug, every failure teaches me something new. My goal is to:
- Get a little better every day
- Share clear, repeatable writeups
- Help others learn from my journey into offensive security
If you’re into hacking, scripting, or just breaking things for fun — you’ll feel right at home here. 😄
