Capture The Flag.
Verified offensive security training on the platforms professionals use. Every technique learned here feeds back into the homelab's defenses.
Verified badges
Independent, dynamically generated badges — pulled directly from HTB and THM servers. These are not screenshots — they update in real time as Stéphane progresses.
CTF profiles
Active learning on three cybersecurity platforms — the global references for offensive security training. These are not games — they are realistic environments used by professionals, pentesters, and security teams worldwide to sharpen their skills against real-world attack scenarios.
The world's leading offensive security platform. Realistic vulnerable machines — from initial recon to full root. Windows Active Directory, Linux privilege escalation, web exploitation, CVE research. Used by professionals and red teams globally. Stéphane's primary training ground.
