Better Late Than Never, lol!

Well I did not get done everything I planned out on my todo list last week.

Oh well, such as life!

MS Sql Server  Done

Wireshark  Done

Nmap  Done

Proxmox (Kind of done, I chickened out on upgrading Proxmox from 8 to 9 but I did get it updated for 8)

Install Wazuh  (Unfortunately, this was a no go)  Need to find a system that has the resources for setup) 

Training modules for PowerShell, Linux fundamental's and Python   Done

Upgrade mini server's hard drive to an SSD  (not done due to the SSD that I have being to small) Amazon

Possible upgrade Portainer and Immich   Done

Work on using Notion as a note taking solution (?)  Done

I did get my windows server 2022 updated

I got netdata installed but still working on figuring out how to use it

I also got the mini server backed up to an image even though I was not able to get the image moved to the SSD.  The current HDD is 500 gigs and the SSD is 480 gigs.  Clonezilla did not like that for the two ways it has to image and restore to a new drive.  Oh well, I have to order a 500 gig SSD from Amazon, ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This week working on getting 500 gig SSD for drive upgrade for mini server and need to work on getting Wazuh installed on a box here, fun!!!!

Trying to learn using a lot of the pentesting tools like zeek, rita, backstorm, gobuster and possibly burbsuite.

Baby steps!!!

Happy Tuesday 😀

Printer Snafu!

Learned a lot today.  Spent 2 hours today working on my printer issue in Linux.  After changing the cups config file roughly 15 times I am finally able to print from the console page, but I did have the working after the first change, lol!  Me being me decided after I was able to print from the console page to modify the cups config file and enable Kerberos which caused a royal pain in my butt.  I wasn't locked out of the console, but I was not able to make changes to the config file from the console, granted I usually do that from the command line anyway.  Enabling Kerberos made printing and making changes from the console impossible.  So, I tried to change the file for the block of text under Kerberos.  12 + changes later I decided to look at the backup file for the config file that I had fortunately backed up before I first modified it and I was off to the races.  In the end I soon discovered in order to turn off Kerberos I had to modify the entry at the top of the file under "DefaultAuthType" and vola it was working again.  I am so glad I back up my config files before I modified them . It is worth it.  Also learned that the drivers for my printer are deprecated and will probably not work after the next upgrade of cups.  Oh well, I will have to cross that bridge when I get to it.

Happy Tuesday 😀

A New Day

Well, it is a new day, and I have made a decision on the pursuit of working on new projects.  I wasted several days trying to get the Wyze bridge project to work because all the videos I watched made it so simple to get setup in their environment.  It looks like Wyze has done something on their end to prevent this project from working.  Now I have to make sure I don't chase my tail on new projects when they don't quite work the way they are supposed to work, lol!

Lessons learned!

Happy Thursday 😬
