Welcome to 5ysk3y Pwnz

Hi there!

Welcome to my little page here on Github. Here you'll find writeups for retired Hack the Box machines as well as the occasional TryHackMe room. I'm also an active part of the communities at HTB/THM, under the same alias. If you find anything on here useful, feel free to drop myself (or my team: TargetRoot) respect - it's much appreciated :) My HTB profile, along with a button to follow me on Twitter, are linked below.

Many thanks for stopping by!
