About#

Hey, I’m Ghassen Maiza, also known as @EL_GASTRA, passsioned about Penetration Testing and Offensive Security in general. I’m currently working as an IT Risk Consultant while pursuing a Master’s degree. My day-to-day involves auditing and assessing security systems, applications, and infrastructure, and occasionally running external and internal penetration tests. When I’m away from work, you’ll usually find me exploring Infosec topics, and messing around learning new techniques.

I’ve participated and won in a bunch of CTF Competitions, And I play Hackthebox machines from time to time. Through this blog I’ll be sharing my journey, where I’ll be posting write-ups, certification reviews, projects and more.
