Personal stuff






A man is a man, a woman is a woman, the present is the present. I am who I am and you are who you are. Does it all really matter or do we just think it does? Everything has a beginning and an end, life is just a cycle of starts and stops. There are endings we don’t deserve, but they are inevitable. We have to face them, because that makes us human.

From here on out, whatever happens, happens. If you see this stranger, follow him! Just remember, there is nothing in this world to believe in!



See you later, Space Cowboy ...

Thoughts on ISSA talk on using AI to automate security

Recently I attended the ISSA presentation in MN, the description of it: The Power and Potential of Robotic Process Automation. And the Security Risks. Please join us on March 22 nd  as we explore the powerful and emerging Robotic Process Automation technology in regards to what IT security professionals need to know about RPA platforms . Robotic process automation (RPA) is a powerful and emerging technology that streamlines and standardizes many human user processes as well as harmonizes different systems across an organization’s environment. So what do IT security professionals need to know about RPA platforms? Very simply, it is a new attack vector and organizations need to start to understand their risk. Because RPA software interacts directly with business applications and mimics the way applications use and mirror human credentials and entitlements, this can introduce risks when the software robots automate and perform routine business processes across multiple

Bandit level 14

Bandit 14 Level Goal The password for the next level can be retrieved by submitting the password of the current level to port 30000 on localhost . Commands you may need to solve this level ssh, telnet, nc, openssl, s_client, nmap Helpful Reading Material How the Internet works in 5 minutes (YouTube) (Not completely accurate, but good enough for beginners) IP Addresses IP Address on Wikipedia Localhost on Wikipedia Ports Port (computer networking) on Wikipedia Okay so I know telnet doesn't have authentication. I know I'm probably using that so I check the man page. Synopsis telnet [ -8EFKLacdfrx ] [ -X authtype ] [ -b hostalias ] [ -e escapechar ] [ -k realm ] [ -l user ] [ -n tracefile ] [ host [ port ]] Okay so the command will be "telnet localhost 30000", remember those instructions from the previous level on where that password was? Neither do , lets read it again! "The pa
