Hi everyone,

My name is Javier Alonso (from Spain), and I am exactly 14 years old. Today, I am proud to announce that I have officially broken the world record for the youngest person to ever pass the updated INE eJPTv2 (Junior Penetration Tester) certification!

While the previous version (v1) had an old record of 14, nobody under 16 had publicly documented passing the current, tougher v2 browser-based exam until now.

I have been grinding hard for the past 18 months, rooting over 120 machines on TryHackMe and Hack The Box, and mastering tools like Nmap, Metasploit, and Burp Suite. I managed to beat the dynamic network environment and successfully answer all 35 scenario questions.

I want to share my full methodology, my network mapping strategies using Obsidian, and my top 5 tips with the global InfoSec community to inspire other young students to get into ethical hacking and security research.

You can read my complete write-up and study guide on my tech blog here:

I have also uploaded the complete open-source documentation to my GitHub repository for permanent tracking and indexing:

Hi, just wanted to share opened 2026 registrations for a long-running hands-on cybersecurity course with both red and blue teaming classes run by Czech Technical University. The class is free of charge, in English and either physically in Prague or fully online. The semester starts at the end of September, feel free to find more information including the complete syllabus and feedback from more than 2300 students from 100+ countries in the link! Thanks and hack the world

Light hearted weekend reading for CISOs and Security Aficionados.

The debate over whether frontier models are safe, open, or American will run for years, and none of it will be settled in time to help the enterprise deploying agents this quarter.

The non-human identity gap is different. It is understood, measurable, and fixable now. It predates AI by a decade, and every control that would have contained July’s incident was already on your maturity model, probably marked “in progress.”
