From beginners to beginners
Who are we? Why?
Why How I Met Your Shell?
As newcomers, we’ve often struggled to find clear, beginner-friendly resources. While there are plenty of excellent notes, cheatsheets, and guides created by experts, they often lack an all-in-one format tailored to someone just starting out. The search for the right information can easily become frustrating and time-consuming. That’s why we created HIMYSH. We believe that we're good at taking notes and getting the most out of whatever thing we do, so here we are!
Our Goal
We are beginners helping beginners. Through HIMYSH, we aim to simplify the challenges we faced early on and provide a guiding hand for others starting their journey. Here’s how:
Beginner-Centric Approach: We’ve curated walkthroughs, write-ups, and notes based on our experience with the HackTheBox CPTS Job Role Path and other resources, designed specifically with beginners in mind.
Teaching the Process: Instead of just presenting information, we emphasize how to research effectively and how to get the most out of platforms like HTB. These modules are packed with high-quality material but can be intimidating for someone starting fresh. We aim to fill the gaps and guide you through the learning curve.
Breaking Down Complexity: We focus on simplifying challenging concepts through clear explanations and visual aids to make them easier to understand and remember.
HIMYSH is for us beginners and could be an example of a note-taking methodology of whatever pentesting course you're pursuing.
And of course my way of building my portfolio 😄
A Word of Caution
Our notes should NEVER be taken for granted! Just because something works in a specific scenario doesn’t mean it will work everywhere or every time.
Always consult additional resources and cross-check your findings. In pentesting, there’s always more to learn—and that’s what makes this field so fascinating.
I say "we" but It is actually an ' I ' but hopefully this project builds up to something bigger.
