Cloud Security
Real-world AWS hardening, IAM, detection and the stuff they don't put in the cert exams.

A cloud security engineer by day and a gray hat in the homelab by night, building, breaking and securing everything live.

Who's behind the hood
Between light and shadow.
I'm Worcrest, a cloud security engineer who spends his days locking down AWS and his nights tearing things apart in the homelab to see how they really work.
The gray hat lives in the space between attacker and defender. That's what Worcrest Labs is about: learning offense so you can defend better, and showing all of it, mistakes included.
Pull up a chair. We'll learn it together.

What we do here
Four paths through the lab.
Every stream and video falls into one of these. Pick a path, or walk all four.
Homelab
Proxmox builds, self-hosting, GPU sharing across containers and breaking things on purpose.
OSINT & Recon
Open-source intelligence, dark web monitoring and recon tooling, used ethically.
Hacking & Builds
TryHackMe and Hack The Box walkthroughs, Discord bots, crypto tickers and other side projects.
Watch
Live on Twitch. Deep dives on YouTube.
Streams are where we build things live. Videos are the polished versions you can come back to.

The Homelab
Enter the Keep.
The heart of the castle. A retired gaming rig turned Proxmox stronghold that guards the media archive, the Discord bots, the OSINT armory and whatever we're breaking this week.
- The Archive: self-hosted media and automation
- Huginn & Muninn: the Discord bots that fly out and bring back the news
- The Armory: OSINT and recon toolkits ready to spin up in a container
- The Gate, Watchtower & the Vault: locked down, monitored, backed up and documented on stream
- One GPU shared across the Keep for AI and transcoding
