I heard a lecture last week that really motivated me to do more tinkering, set up a home lab or try the Pwnie Island game to learn more cybersecurity.
Also, really want to get a travel router and VPN, since currently I use student WiFi...

Almost a year in my PhD and just found my topic. Won't start with it yet because I have other papers + holiday. And then only two years left 🙈
It's going to be busy! But I am motivated and excited!

I just tried to use iptable rules with firewalld because of docker doing its own thing. And I think I locked myself out of the server... I hate this!

To the malware researchers using Linux: How do you set up your lab? Especially if you are using QEMU? Would appreciate any tips/insights!
I only really found a lot of blog posts of using VBox with Remnux/FlareVM and PFSense/no internet.

Currently, writing bash scripts for automation of backup, update and health check for some servers.
Found a script that allows using discord for notification. However, I have issues with JSON parsing since I wanted to send command line output... This seems like a problem for tomorrow.

I think I have now narrowed down my specific research area for my PhD!
Which means after the last 3 month of reading...
I can now spend the next month also reading - just more specific papers. 🎉😂
