Systems built to explore constraints, bare metal HTTP, AppSec tooling, automated pentest environments. No frameworks where none are needed.
Automated CTF Lab Provisioner
Zertana is a command-line tool that builds fully isolated penetration testing labs on your own machine. It automates the tedious parts of lab setup: downloading vulnerable virtual machines from VulnHub, spinning up a Kali Linux attacker box, and connecting everything on a private sandboxed network that is completely separated from your real LAN.
Web Security Lab
A 42 Network project focused on web application security. It involves discovering and exploiting common vulnerabilities in a deliberately insecure website, covering topics like SQL injection, XSS, broken authentication, and other OWASP Top 10 weaknesses.
K3s & Vagrant Lab
A 42 Network project that introduces Kubernetes through K3s and Vagrant. It covers setting up a multi-node cluster, deploying applications across environments, and managing infrastructure as code, all inside isolated virtual machines.
Custom C++ IRC Network
A fully functional IRC server built from scratch. It handles multiple concurrent client connections, channels, and direct messaging, diving deep into socket programming and network protocols.
Concurrency & Multithreading
A 42 Network classic tackling the dining philosophers problem. It explores process synchronization, memory management, and preventing race conditions using mutexes and threads.
