Welcome: notes from the offensive side

What this blog is about, who I am, and the kind of write-ups you'll find here.

Welcome: notes from the offensive side

Welcome. I’m inneromost, an independent penetration tester. This blog is where I turn engagement notes, lab experiments, and research into write-ups worth keeping.

What you’ll find here

  • Write-ups — web, network, and Active Directory attack chains, start to finish
  • Exploit dev & tradecraft — the why, not just the payload
  • Detection research — building offensive tooling and measuring how it gets caught (AV, YARA, EDR/behavioral)
  • CTF & lab notes — quick, reproducible, copy-pasteable

Everything here comes from authorized testing or isolated labs. Methodology over targets.

The format

Posts are practical and command-first. Expect blocks you can actually run:

1
2
# enumerate, don't guess
nmap -sC -sV -oA scans/initial 10.10.10.10

…and the reasoning behind each step, with callouts for the gotchas:

Kerberoasting only needs a valid domain account — not local admin. The bottleneck is almost always cracking, not collection.

Code gets proper highlighting, whether it’s a quick one-liner or a full PoC:

1
2
3
import requests
r = requests.get("https://target/api/v1/users", headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {token}"})
print(r.status_code, len(r.json()))
