  Every month (or so), I host a @hackthebox meetup with the @hackfest community. I share my screen and we hack a machine together, live. The first Wednesday of the month is in French, the second in English. The format is beginner-friendly: we tackle Easy or Medium rated machines. Since I only pick machines I've already completed, we avoid getting stuck for too long — the goal is to learn and improve together. Interested?

  @NorthSec was awesome again this year. I learned a ton and I'm already looking forward to next year. A huge thank you to everyone involved in making the event. You folks rock! And thanks to my CTF team. It's always fun competing with you.

  I published my first @NorthSec CTF write up of the year. For the LED Display Controller track by Marc Olivier Bergeron. It was a fun one. https://erichogue.ca/2025/05/NorthSec/LedDisplayController

  I published my walkthrough for Code on HTB. In this box I got a shell by exploiting an application that allowed running Python code. Then I cracked a password and used a backup utility to elevate my privileges up to root. https://erichogue.ca/2025/08/HTB/Code

  I published my walkthrough for Planning on #HackTheBox. In this box, I had to exploit a known vulnerability in Grafana to get a shell, find some credentials to get a user connection. And finally exploit an application to manage cron jobs to get root. https://erichogue.ca/2025/09/HTB/Planning

  J'ai beaucoup aimé l'épisode panel du BSides de @polysecure . Les panels sont toujours excellents. Et quel excellent titre: Les boeufs sont lents mais la terre est patiente. Par contre j'ai du avoir l'air un peu fou à rire tout seul au gym. https://polysecure.ca/posts/episode-0x631.html#42f70523

  I'm throwing away my conference badges I kept for many years. Looking at the pile of lanyards, it looks like I went to quite a few conferences. I also have a few electronic badges that are still in a box somewhere.

  We're back home after another amazing @hackfest . My son and I had a great time attending talks, watching the social engineering contest, and participating in the Hackfest Generation village. A huge thank you to the organizers, volunteers, speakers, and sponsors. We're already looking forward to next year. My wife and my other son might even come with us this time.

  I published my walkthrough for Artificial on #HackTheBox. In this box, I used Remote Code Execution to get a shell, cracked some password hashes, and exploited a backup application to elevate my privileges. https://erichogue.ca/2025/10/HTB/Artificial

  There are only 2 days and 350 pushups left. I am participating in the 2000 pushups challenge to raise money for the Canadian Mental Health Association. If you have some money to give, you can do it here https://www.thepushupchallenge.ca/fundraisers/erichogue/the-push-up-challenge
