APT Update Issue
It’s been a while since Matt or I have posted as we start some new journeys in our lives. I’ve now started a new role and as part of that, I’ve become an advisor for a Cyber Community at work. This has led to me building our CTF platform available at cyberranges.co.uk where you can…
Huntress CTF 2023
I decided this year during cyber awareness month I was going to finally participate in a Capture the Flag (CTF) competition. After looking around at some of the offerings and following John Hammond on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@_JohnHammond) I gravitated towards the Huntress CTF. Their competition has been spread over all of October, releasing a couple of…
Hyper-V Cluster Intermittent Issues
Last week we started getting very weird issues on the Hyper-V cluster at work where some VMs would randomly lose connectivity to other VMs. To put this in context we have around 130 active VMs at any one time and connectivity would be intermittent on around 20 of them. Of these 20 there would be…
Random Learnings
As you may know, I’ve been working on my penetration testing skills over the past couple of years taking some courses here and there to help me along the way. All of these courses have been super cheap within $5-60 which has been incredible but as per usual I have purchased way too many courses…
TCM Security – PNPT Exam
So I took this exam last week and it’s fair to say I failed and pretty hard too. The structure of the exam is really good and I felt that the initial contact was very well written. The Rules of Engagement are super clear and you’re given an Open VPN file to connect to the…
Practical Ethical Hacking – TCM Security
TCM recently had a discount code available to get their Practical Ethical Hacking (PEH) course for $1. In the UK this worked out with taxes to be about £1.10 which in my mind is an absolute bargain. Bearing in mind that I have over 10 years of experience in IT Infrastructure and about a year…
AudioCodes VE, Teams and Gamma
The Background The company I work for has been users of Sonus/Ribbon SBC’s for just shy of 10 years and in that time the devices have become an absolute pain in the backside to support. We have been seeing one minor routing change or an Access Control Entry re-number in our firewalls that completely stops…
Fortigate MFA – Administration
At work, we have been customers of Fortinet for just under 10 years. During this time we haven’t really had anything wrong to say about their product, the Fortigate. That was until about a year ago when we pursued our Cyber Essentials Plus certification. Before we dived into the audit we went over the scope…
TryHackMe – Wreath Network
So over the past couple of weeks, I decided to go through the TryHackMe room: Wreath. This room is designed to better understand an entire Pen Testing engagement with a potential customer. This room is really good at going through some very key points that I haven’t found anywhere else (yet) on the TryHackMe website.…
