Starting My Cybersecurity Journey

Hi, I’m Marcin 👋

Welcome to my blog.

This space is where I document my journey into cybersecurity — from the basics to more advanced topics over time. I’m not an expert (yet), but I strongly believe that sharing the process is just as valuable as sharing the results.


Why this blog?

I created this blog mainly for two reasons:

  • To track my own progress
  • To build a personal knowledge base

Instead of scattered notes, I want everything in one place — structured, searchable, and useful both for me and anyone who might be on a similar path.


What you can expect here

This blog will include:

🔹 Hack The Box write-ups

Step-by-step walkthroughs of machines I solve, including:

  • enumeration process
  • thought process
  • mistakes and lessons learned

🔹 Notes & cheat sheets

Things I don’t want to forget, for example:

  • Nmap usage
  • enumeration techniques
  • useful commands and workflows

Basically — my personal “go-to” reference.


🔹 Learning journey & progress

I’ll also share:

  • what I’m currently learning
  • what challenges I’m facing
  • how my approach evolves over time

No fake perfection — just real progress.


My approach

I focus on:

  • understanding why something works
  • building repeatable processes
  • learning by doing (not just reading)

Final thoughts

This blog is not about being an expert.

It’s about:

  • consistency
  • curiosity
  • and getting better step by step

If you’re on a similar journey — feel free to follow along.


Thanks for being here.
