With this video I explain my ~17y/o self what a "Server" is. We look at server software and servers in datacenters to understand how the word is used.

Server Griefed and New Beginnings ...

I was bullied and kicked out. So I traveled very very far away to establish a new base. In the process I moved the world from 1.18.2 to 1.19.2, forcing everybody to upgrade their hacks and find the new IP. But can you also find my new base?

I Leaked My IP Address!

The Age of Universal XSS

In August 1996, Internet Explorer joined the JavaScript security scene after they added JScript. During this era from around 1996-2000, tons of bugs were found what we would call today "Universal Cross-site Scripting". I find this word confusing, but looking back at the history, we can try to make sense of it.

A Deeper Look at Hacking Laws

A deeper look into the german hacking laws to see what kind of actions are illegal. There are some surprising edge cases and lots of room for debates.

Are Resource Packs Safe?

Let's explore how Minecraft can be customized. The knowledge we gain from that is very useful to identify interesting attack surface.

Illegal Minecraft Adventures?

Laws are complicated and internet wide scanning is a bit of a grey area. So I wonder, what is ethical? Did I cross a line? What do you think?

Could I Hack into Google Cloud?

Google announced the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Prize 2021 - 133.337$ for the best bug bounty report for the Google Cloud Platform. Reading writeups is important to stay up to date and learn about different attacks. In this video I go over the 6 winners and share my thoughts.

Anti-Griefing Squad

I want to show you another Minecraft related project of mine. I tried to scan the whole internet for servers. A project like this is really good practice to gain more coding experience. And the knowledge gained is applicable to other areas, for example if I would ever want to build large scale scanning for bug bounties or sim...

Hacking for 10 Years... (Stripe CTF Speedrun)

Celebrating my 10 years of hacking and my 7 years on YouTube! In 2012 I came across my first hacking CTF. Stripe organized a Capture the Flag competition with 6 levels to learn about different vulnerabilities. This is what it all started for me. In this video I reflect on the challenges from back then.

Missing HTTP Security Headers

In this video we talk about various HTTP headers that can improve or weaken the security of a site. And we discuss how serious they really are.
