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.

Cloud Security

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

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 Lab

Meet deathstar.

A retired gaming rig turned into a Proxmox powerhouse. It runs the media stack, the Discord bots, the OSINT tools and anything else we want to break this week.

  • Self-hosted media, automation and community bots
  • One GPU shared across containers for AI and transcoding
  • OSINT and recon toolkits ready to spin up in a container
  • Hardened, monitored and documented on stream
