👋 About RootedN00b

Welcome to my corner of the internet — where curiosity meets persistence, and where every “noob” becomes a skilled offensive security professional.

My name is Vasty Kervens G Desir AKA RootedN00b, and like many in the infosec world or IT in general my journey started with pure curiosity — touching everything without direction until I found my true passion: offensive security.

With a strong background in Networking and Windows Server Administration, I began exploring cybersecurity from the ground up. The web was once my nightmare, but challenges became lessons, and lessons became growth. Along the way, I earned certifications like:

• 🧠 eJPTv2 (Junior Penetration Tester)

• 🛠 PNPT (Practical Network Penetration Tester)

• 🧩 CRTA, CRTP, and CRTO — specializing in Active Directory and Red Team operations.

• 🧠 PT1 (Junior Penetration Tester) - New from TryHackMe with a heavy focus on Web exploitation

I’ve also completed several TryHackMe paths — from Junior Penetration Tester to Offensive Security (Active Directory Attack & Enumeration), and I constantly challenge myself on platforms like Hack The Box, Slayerlabs, .Pwntilldawn.
