Currently, my NAS is set up as a Synology DS720+ with two 4TB drives in RAID 1 configuration, plus two 1GB M.2 drives for caching and 6GB of RAM. It is accessible via a Cloudflare tunnel. In the near future, I will set up own NAS using Unraid + custom hardware, and I will describe the process step by step.

Everyone in IT has lots of flash drives. Each one has something different on it. But they’re all important and useful. Sometimes only once a year, but still useful. I decided to tidy up my USB drives and put everything in one place. I thought it would be difficult, but it turns out there is a very cool project called

I am a pentester and red teamer at work, and an ethical hacker, blogger, gamer and pseudo-developer outside of work. Sometimes I’m a slacker at work too, but I prefer to call it ‘professional’ – meaning I automate my tasks. If there are no red team activities planned for Friday, I don’t do anything myself because, as we all know, Fridays at

I created this based on various internet sources for a company that is planning to carry out threat modelling. It is a general outline and preliminary proposal that you can adapt to your needs. Hopefully someone will find it useful.

Experts in this field may be able to provide more information, but it seems to me that this is not yet a

I recently needed an encrypted container to store files on a Linux virtual machine (Debian 13 with XFCE). I didn’t want to encrypt the entire disk so that it wouldn’t take up too much space, so I decided to create a simple, encrypted container that I could mount and store important files on. Additionally, I wanted to mount it using a ready-made

When the zombie apocalypse comes and the world as we know it ends — when GPT Chat and all other AIs are no longer available online, and even Uncle Google is gone — your own little stupid AI will come in handy. You’ll need to know how to get water, hunt, kill zombies, identify which mushrooms are safe to eat and how to build a base. I guess all

Backing up data is important. Anyone who has ever lost data would agree. There is also a golden rule: “There are two kinds of people in this world—those who back up their data and those who will.”

Be smart and start doing this before you lose your data. I currently use Fedora (since

Hello, readers of my blog. Today, I would like to present my new baby to you. More specifically, a project that is simply an online library containing PDF files on the subject of cybersecurity. Specifically, it covers pentesting, hacking, tools, red teaming, blue team, forensics, AI, risk, networks, malware analysis, threat hunting, and so on.

As I moved my virtual machines and labs from VirtualBox to Virt-Manager, I shared some tips about my new configuration. Maybe they will be useful for someone else who is also migrating. If you are looking for Windows 11 tips, you can also check out the article Windows 11 virtual machine on

Before I get into the details, I should mention that we are not hacking the Tor network here. We are not breaking the security of the network or the software itself. Also bear in mind that this tutorial doesn’t cover all the ways to hack hidden services. Today, I’m focusing on simple steps that can reveal the IP address of the server hosting

When testing hidden services on the Tor network, I often use torsocks, but sometimes I need to torify all traffic; you can use Whonix Gateway for this, but you can also use

Someone might think, “what has this man come up with again”. I sometimes purchase the pro version of ChatGPT and test its capabilities. As I’ve been doing the SANS SEC565 course recently (highly recommended) and I slowly need to prepare for the

There are those who shout to abandon Google (or whatever big tech company), others shout to abandon closed source software, others recommend not using solutions from large corporations, and you also hear not to use open source or projects created by enthusiasts because they are not secure or of lower quality. And the famous “if it is free, you

I will start the new year with a simple entry. Specifically, monitoring my own services. As time goes by and you have more and more websites or servers that like to stop working from time to time for various reasons, it is worth monitoring their status. Especially when they are sites or services that provide a cash flow. However, whatever the

Some time ago I started migrating my virtual machines from Virtual Box to Virt-Manager. Mainly because of performance, the fact that sometimes things don’t work in Virtual Box as I would like them to, and of course KVM is harder to configure so I’m going to be a real pro h4ck3r and advanced user (ehh…). As is always the case in the world of

Sometimes people try a simple way to hide access to parts of the site using the basic access authentication method based on HTTP user agent. It’s not very sophisticated, or super effective, but you can often come across this solution. It will definitely block a regular user

Boys and girls today I would like to quickly share with you in a nutshell an interesting offer for good quality and affordable VPS servers. There comes a time in the life of every IT guy, whether home-grown, amateur or professional, to do a bit of admin stuff. Set something up from start to finish. You can do it in the comfort of your home, or

You may or may not remember my article Mount Synology NAS in Linux. Being the lucky owner of a Synology DS720+, I sometimes do some interesting things on it besides the standard stuff. And since this site is also my online notebook, I have collected all the things I have configured on my NAS in this article.

I have switched back to Linux as my daily operating system. For virtualisation I have always used Virtual Box and still do, but I have always wanted to try VirtManager. In the past, I was put off by the number of configurations, and there was always something not

Ahh, today is that glorious day when I realize that my plan to write one or even two articles a month on my wonderful blog is failing. And then I remind myself that my worth checking series is not only there to share knowledge and interesting material but also to save my ass in just such situations. To
