Welcome!
This serves as a public repository of any notes I take. It serves the primary purposes of:
- Encouraging me to take well-documented and thorough notes
- Acting as a personal knowledge base for my learning
- Acting as a public knowledge base for others interested in learning
I utilize Obsidian as my primary method of note-taking. Then, I utilize Quartz as a frontend for the notes, allowing for the notes to be publicly hosted and available to others. Lastly, I utilize the Smart Connections Obsidian plugin to create embeddings from my notes to allow for utilizing LLMs (OpenAI, Ollama, etc.) to query and answer questions from my notes. For example: Generate a pentesting checklist based on my common approaches to HackTheBox/TryHackMe rooms.
CTF Writeups

I tried to do writeups for every challenge I solved, but that quickly began to be too burdensome. I now mostly writeup fun/unique solves.
