Khalaf Hamza

I’m Khalaf Hamza, a penetration tester with a Bachelor’s degree in Cyber Security from Tafila Technical University. My focus is network security and ethical hacking: finding weaknesses before the bad guys do.

I learn by doing. I work through labs and machines, break things, fail a lot, and dig until I understand why. Along the way I earned eCPPTv2, CCNA, and CompTIA Security+, Network+, Linux+ and A+.

Why this blog?

Most writeups only show what commands to run. I want to show how to think: what I noticed, what I tried, what failed, and why the final idea worked. That’s the part that actually makes you better.

What I build and share

• Lite-Script, a Python penetration testing framework with network analysis
• Educational malware research in C and the Windows API, to understand how attacks work from the inside
• RootDash on YouTube, with tutorials and CTF walkthroughs
• Training and consulting: teaching penetration testing to others

What you’ll find here

• Writeups of retired machines and labs, step by step
• Notes and cheatsheets I use myself
• Mindset posts about learning, studying and staying consistent
