Aspiring Ethical hacker
Unraveling the Web, Exploiting the Gaps—Hacking with Precision & Purpose
Hello, my name is Philemon Sakpani aka Korax. Passionate hacker, relentless problem solver, and cybersecurity enthusiast. I thrive on uncovering hidden vulnerabilities, mastering web exploitation, and pushing the boundaries of ethical hacking.
What I'm working on
Hack The Box Certified Penetration Testing Specialist
The HTB CPTS (Certified Penetration Testing Specialist) certification is an advanced, hands-on credential designed by Hack The Box to validate expertise in penetration testing, ethical hacking, and offensive security. This certification demonstrates proficiency in identifying, exploiting, and remediating real-world security vulnerabilities across various environments.
I am currently preparing for HTB CPTS to further solidify my penetration testing skills and enhance my ability to identify and exploit security flaws in live environments.
Bug Bounty Hunting
Bug bounty hunting is a real-world cybersecurity practice where ethical hackers identify and report security vulnerabilities in applications, websites, and systems. As a bug bounty hunter, I specialize in discovering and exploiting security flaws that could be leveraged by malicious actors, helping organizations strengthen their defenses.
Projects
Serverless Email Sending with AWS
This project focuses on building a scalable, cost-effective, and serverless email-sending solution using AWS services. By leveraging AWS Lambda, Amazon SES (Simple Email Service), and API Gateway, I developed a lightweight and efficient system for sending transactional and notification emails without managing servers.
Solving CTF Boxes on Hack The Box & TryHackMe
I actively engage in Capture The Flag (CTF) challenges on Hack The Box (HTB) and TryHackMe (THM) to sharpen my penetration testing skills and stay up to date with real-world security vulnerabilities. These platforms provide hands-on, practical scenarios that mirror real-world cyber threats.
