I'm Vincent, an 18 years old cybersecurity student based in Bordeaux. I first got into cybersecurity in 2022, and started taking it seriously in 2024 when I began studying at Bordeaux Ynov Campus.
I was part of ECSC Team France 2025 🇫🇷 and I'm a member of Ynov Cyber Crew 🗡️ for the 2025-2026 academic year.
A lot of that learning came through CTFs. I started out with reverse engineering and binary exploitation, but over time I found myself getting more and more drawn to web exploitation and pentesting. I love the mix of creativity, technical depth, and problem-solving, and I try to write the kind of writeups I would have wanted to read when I was starting out.
Right now, I'm especially interested in Windows and Active Directory environments, because they feel very different from classic Linux exploitation and often reward a more practical way of thinking.
Beyond CTFs, I also like digging into real-world applications and turning that curiosity into actual research. I recently worked on CVE- 2026-34036, which pushed me to look at targets less like puzzles and more like real systems.
This blog is mostly where I keep track of what I learn, what I find interesting, and the techniques I don't want to forget later.
i use arch btw 🤓
