Finally completed the Cicada room on TryHackMe! This achievement is a fantastic way to deepen your understanding of cybersecurity concepts, specifically focusing on web application security, cryptography, and potentially digital forensics. #Cybersecurity #Networking #TryHackMe #CyberSecuredIndia #OPSWATAcademy #CyberonitesClub

CyberLens is my 2nd official release on TryHackMe! Initial access is based on research by Rhino Security Labs, Inc. The privilege escalation is a common method you will encounter on hands-on exams like the OSCP. In this video, I provide a detailed walkthrough on how to exploit the machine manually and via Metasploit. Enjoy! https://lnkd.in/gcnT59dc

I successfully completed the third part of Caesar Salad episodes from Blue Team Labs Online (Security Blue Team). From first to third, as a Digital Forensic Analyst, I've been tasked with deciphering different areas of a high-profile criminal operation. It has been challenging but I have learned a lot about recognizing and deciphering different areas of cryptography such as morse, vigenere and encoded formats like octal, base58 85.... https://lnkd.in/dKvy6aQr #BlueTeam #Cryptography #Encoding #Decoding #CyberChef #Dcode #DigitalForensic

I successfully completed the Cicada 3301 challenge on TryHackMe 🎯. This challenge tested my problem-solving, logical thinking, and cybersecurity skills, pushing me to think out of the box while exploring cryptography, steganography, and OSINT techniques. 💡 Key takeaways: 🔹 Strengthened my analytical approach to solving complex puzzles. 🔹 Improved my skills in cryptographic techniques and data analysis. 🔹 Enhanced my understanding of real-world cybersecurity challenges. I’m thrilled to continue sharpening my skills and taking on more advanced challenges in the cybersecurity domain! 🌐 #TryHackMe #Cicada3301 #Cybersecurity #SkillsDevelopment #LearningJourney

If you are into cybersecurity, you have probably used MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256 many times. But do you know who created it? Well, it was invented independently by Ivan Damgård and Ralph Merkle, and is where we derive "M(erkle)D(amgård)" from. And, so, Ralph Merkle - inventor of the Merkle Tree - eventually left the world of cybersecurity research, but Ivan continually contributed to the research community from his base at Aarhus University in Denmark: https://lnkd.in/egdgkzk8

Suddenly, on April 5 at 11.45 am I'm speaking in St. Petersburg at Expoforum as part of the Expotechnostrage 2024 forum at the youth day with the topic "Basic Toolkit of a Cyber Intelligence Specialist" We will talk about the importance of programming, understanding of psychology for implementation and communication with other people in order to extract information, the importance of being able to conduct at least the first stages of pentest for researching organizations. No picture, just found out today, haven't started prez yet. Come meet and socialize, though I won't be there very long after my talk :) #osint #cyberintelligence

My goodness! What a #difficult yet #rewarding #Threat #Intelligence #lab by Security Blue Team! The #investigation provides you a threat intelligence briefing #report and has you answer questions to complete the report. The questions force you to perform heavy #OSINT and #security #research to find out everything you can about #APT3, their #TTPs and #modus #operandi. This was one of the most #realistic threat intel labs I have seen to date. This one really tests you on your research skills! =) https://lnkd.in/eGtnfa4f
