Public Key Cryptography – Brain Hurts

I think I need to explore RSA and Diffie-Hellman in a bit more depth than this intro offered. I also need to improve my maths and solidify my knowledge in terms of XOR and Modulo operations.

Rumors of my demise are greatly exaggerated…

Those cryptography basics? They're down. Caesar cipher, XOR operations and Modulo operations. Back on the horse after a break, including re-certification.

More basics down…

TCPDump / Nmap rooms are nailed (well, the very basic overviews, anyway). Cryptography basics next...

Wireshark

Learning to use it and decipher the packets captured, finally. I wish I stuck with this years ago... What a fantastic troubleshooting tool, I can't wait to get to grips with it more.

4 rooms completed today!

4 more rooms finished on THM today, specifically Network fundamentals. It's nice to revisit the nuts and bolts, I couldn't tell you when I last used the shell to GET web content / telnet / SMTP / POP3... I hope a lot of those things remain in the past where they belong lol.

Let’s go!

Command Line room finished off. I learned a valuable lesson in the shell not indicating the presence of an underscore in a script filename. Networking room comes next. I really enjoy revisiting things I'm already familiar with because I get to see it again with fresh eyes and a very…
