Hey, I’m hallllow.

Before any of this, I spent 6.5 years in the military, including two deployments: one in Afghanistan and one in Romania. That’s where I got used to working under pressure and paying attention to detail, and it’s a big part of how I ended up drawn to security.

I studied Information Security and Computer Networks at ESTG, and I’m now doing a master’s in Information Security at FCUP. Along the way I picked up my CCNA, eJPTv2, and TryHackMe’s PT1.

Most of my free time goes into CTFs. I’m firmly on the offensive side, red teaming and Active Directory are what I keep coming back to.

This blog is where I dump my write-ups, notes, and whatever research I find worth sharing.
