  • Studying feasibility: Networks Thingamajig and something else, folks

    Hi’ya folks!

    Greetings, and good morning!

    Friends, I hope you’re doing well today.

    Wanting to write something here, as I realized, it has been several days already since I last posted something here. Sorry.

    From my side, I’m doing what I can – with what I have, and like you too, my dear brothers and sisters in Christ.

    God bless you.

    Now, I’m contemplating something – that I believe, and I also heard this piece of advise from someone who’s already working in cybersecurity – that, we ought to build some hands-on projects relevant to a job we want to apply into.

    Folks, it makes good sense.

    With this, and following that advise, my friends, I’m starting to study possibility or feasibility. IF I have the necessary resources, like access to service(s) and learning materials, that’ll allow me to put together a free-of-charge implementation for a SIEM.

    Friends, I learned there is an open-source software that functions as a SIEM somewhere. It’s free, and that helps a lot.

    That, and I believe it is something crucial for work as a security analyst. Yes, folks?

    Alright.

    With this, here’s something I got my hands on this morning. It is network throughput into a place where I can study. It isn’t taken, alright friends?

    I’ll study something like this further. There’s really much I don’t know.

    Okay.

    That’s it for now – and, thanks – my brothers and sisters, God bless you.

  • Web App Sec: Learning through PortSwigger’s Online Academy

    Web App Sec: Learning through PortSwigger’s Online Academy

    Nothing much to report.

    Hi, folks!

    Presently, putting in time and effort learning some hands-on practical Web App Security through PortSwigger’s Burpsuite Academy.

    We have some early progress into finding some web bugs through PortSwigger’s virtual laboratories.

    And apart from this, not much else to talk about. Sorry.

    Path traversal

    Recently, I learned about vulnerabilities and potential exploits attackers could do. On websites that don’t have validations in-place against path traversal attacks.

    Later on, learned how to do the actions needed to do a path traverse. With PortSwigger’s online virtual machine/labs.

    Folks, I’ll return to further add content to this post in the near future.

    For now, I need to keep studying where I have some access to some resource for learning.

    Peace.
