Zer0ne Blog

Hello friend 🤖,

I am nairolf32, A cybersecurity enthusiast slowly getting stronger. I Play CTFs and challenges on various websites and decided to keep a track of what I already know/did/learnt by writing it down. Here is a good place for that. This repository used to simply host my ctf writeups but I turnt it into my cybersec blog and here I share the best things I learnt throughout my learning journey. The writeups are from many platforms. My favorites ones are Tryhackme and Hackthebox. The writeups are mostly from those platforms.

Usage

This repository is not really open for external contributions but feel free to open an issue for anything you want to share. For further usage simply clone the repo with git clone and run hugo (it manages everything for you) Most importantly, as I use a submodule theme you need to get it locally too using git submodule init then git submodule update. To test it run below commands:

• hugo server
• For local development you might need to override the baseURL in the config file using the --baseURL=http://localhost:1313 flag with the command above.
• The structure is quite simple, the content folder contains all the posts using hugo pages bundles, the static folder contains the rest of global static files (images, css, js, etc.), and the themes folder contains the theme submodule used for the website. You should not modify the theme files directly, but you can override them in the layouts folder (If really needed).
• hugo -D for building the website
• Deploying on GitHub Pages using GitHub Actions using the ./github/workflows/pages.yml file
• Some minor theme layout modifications are done in the layouts folder (image render-hooks and shortcodes)
• Added a fuzzy search feature using Pagefind. You can install it locally with npm or yarn or download the binary from the releases page. The latest is used in the GitHub Actions workflow file. The search feature is implemented using the pagefind shortcode in the layouts/shortcodes/pagefind.html file and used in the content/search/index.md file. The indexing command is pagefind --site public to index the website content and generate the search files in the public folder. Remember to run this command after building the website with hugo -D to update the search index locally.
