Hey there, I am Abraxas! 👋 #

Welcome to my corner of the digital realm! I work as a Pentester at a FinTech organization, where my work includes internal offensive testing, threat intelligence, and automation with an emphasis on detection as code. I spend a lot of time studying how attackers operate in real environments and how systems respond when assumptions break.

Much of my current focus is on Active Directory security. I like moving across different security domains to stay well rounded, but Active Directory remains a recurring pull. I am less active on public CTF platforms these days, as internal work and research take up most of my time. Outside of that, I continue developing my skills and preparing for certifications such as CRTO.

I keep home labs running for experimentation and learning. Outside of work, I spend time reading, refining tooling, and improving workflows that support both offensive and defensive practice. I also moderate Republic of Hackers, an international Discord community focused on security practice and shared learning.

This blog is my personal space. I use it to document things I am working through, ideas I want to revisit, and lessons picked up along the way. It is mainly for my own reference, but others are welcome to follow along.
