TryHackMe : Anonymous WriteUp

This is my writeup for the anonymous room/machine of TryHackMe.com platform. Remember this is just how I solved/owned the machine, maybe there are different and fast paths but… Machine Not the hacking group The machine is called anonymous, room anomymous, the link is https://tryhackme.com/room/anonymous. This is rated as a medium machine but honestly is more an easy one! With this machine you can refresh privilege escalation and how to gain power using an anonymous ftp server.

TryHackMe : Wonderland WriteUp

This is my writeup for the wonderland room/machine of TryHackMe.com platform.

OSCP: A Success After A Failure

I did it, I passed the exam attempt and I “own” now the Offensive Security Certified Professional certification. The OSCP certification by Offensive Security is the first - serious - step you may try to become a certified penetration tester, it’s recognized everywhere and almost everyone knows it. I know, yes I know…you may be the best pentester or sysadmin without any certification, it’s true. I’m the first who say it, my mentor - my dear friend Franco - as far as I know never took an IT certification and during the last 20 years (my IT years, he is active since early ‘90) and I never found someone better than him.

Foreman & Katello 2.x Full Setup Guide - Part 1

Foreman is one of my favourite sysadmin tools, it’s described as a complete lifecycle management tool for physical and virtual servers. We give system administrators the power to easily automate repetitive tasks, quickly deploy applications, and proactively manage servers, on-premise or in the cloud and, very important, it’s an open source software (or better a bunch of software). It’s the real evolution of Spacewalk and the free version of Red Hat Satellite (who is Foreman based - yes, we’re Red Hat Satellite testers).
