# About Me

I’m **l1nuxkid**, a recent BSc Cybersecurity graduate and offensive security enthusiast. I operate on a core principle: you can’t effectively test or secure a system unless you first master how it works under the hood. I focus on first-principles thinking, dissecting system internals to understand the "why" and "how" before attempting to exploit vulnerabilities.

Along the way, I’ve participated in and won a couple of CTFs on platforms like OffSec and TryHackMe, which helped sharpen my practical skills.

Speaking of achievements, I’ve earned the [**OSCP+ certification from OffSec**](https://credentials.offsec.com/0d0fb983-4975-41ad-8d5b-3a1a7450afc4#acc.spomlKzq) and the [**Jr Penetration Tester (PT1) certification from TryHackMe**](https://assets.tryhackme.com/certification-certificate/689d55a206bb7980aa46a373.pdf), a hands-on certification focused on real-world penetration testing skills. I’m currently working toward the **CWES certification from Hack The Box**.

On Hack The Box, I’ve reached the **Pro Hacker** rank, solving 120+ machines along with several Pro Labs, further strengthening my practical offensive security skills.

This space is where I document my journey, share write-ups, and grow alongside others in the infosec community.
