End of a journey, beginning of a new one – take 3
And it happened again 🙂 only this time it was triggered by my previous employer who decided they no longer needed my services. After 5 months of soul searching and job hunting (what can I say … tough market) I found myself working in a new field – Video Conferencing – obviously doing what I…

Mitigating my first recorded DDOS on my home LAB
For a couple of days me and the family have noticed weird slowness when accessing the Internet and the various media platforms we use (Netflix, Youtube, etc) but paid it no mind given that it happened at weird hours (though it was the ISP doing some works or having issues). Today, this evening, I was…

My visit to Belgium
This year I attended the Brucon conference (0x0f edition) which was held in Mechelen, Belgium. I posted an article about the conference itself but felt I should also share my experience from a tourist POV so here goes nothing. I live in England and given that I have the option to use the EUROSTAR train…

Brucon 0x0F
This year I was one of the lucky few that got to attend the Brucon 2023 conference and training program. For those of you who are not familiar with it you can visit the official website at https://www.brucon.org/2023/.

MSc Dissertation
It’s 2023, September, and I’ve just submitted my dissertation report together with the presentation of the report. In a previous post ( https://cristian.seceleanu.co.uk/2022/10/msc-year-2/ ) I left a hint about what I was considering for my dissertation ( storage … obviously) and now is the time to reveal it to the world.
