I enjoy experimenting. This is yet another experiment of mine. Not long ago, I visited my parents’ house, which is when I got the chance to check in on my brother. Unlike me, my brother doesn’t work in IT; he’s in agriculture. It’s always a bit of a shock to think about how close I was to ending up in a similar situation. I don’t see this as a disadvantage, but rather as offering a different perspective. And my family has always been capable of approaching a problem from various angles. ...

I’ve been a subscriber to the Obsidian Publish service for a while now, and the idea of learning publicly sounds appealing. Plus, sharing a few of my notes publicly might make it easier to pass on what I’ve learned to my teammates, future assignments or to answer some interview questions before they are even asked. Like with everything, sharing the first note seems to be the hardest part… or is it? Okay, I struggled quite a bit to have a notes subdomain on my Hugo-generated static site, which is built with Netlify, version-controlled on GitHub, and hidden behind Cloudflare. This could potentially be another post or video. I created a few test notes and even thought about starting the camera to show how cool it is to manage content this way when I suddenly lost interest. ...

When we hear about major hacks, data thefts, and ransomware in the news, we shudder at how vulnerable we are. It’s no wonder that companies spend billions to secure their operations. If you happen to enter an organization that takes security seriously, it won’t be long before you find yourself in a toxic environment that people are reluctant to participate in. Peeking behind the curtain of the mystical world of security quickly reveals that the most significant risk factor in every organization is people. This realization immediately leads to finger-pointing, something I’ve seen all too often. ...

This writing might sound a bit frustrated. And it is, a bit. Maybe I missed one or two interesting opportunities because of a communication error. But this time, I hope it wasn’t my fault. I still have much to learn about personal branding and the digital nomad lifestyle. But what I’ve realized from my IT years is: not to rely on a single provider. Nevertheless, I’ll reactivate my LinkedIn subscription and even want to be more active on digital platforms. ...

I like the for dummies books. They are easy to read and understand. I try to do the same with this post. I hope you will find it useful for learning concepts about observability. Observability in a nutshell. (I’ll need to lookup how thumbnails work in Hugo with the Cactus theme.) Video Script Hi all, Curious minds! ...

Findable In the last couple of months, I have been working hard to make myself findable. The results of this are: I have this site. My Personal site of my shiny objects. (I have a story about why I refer to it like this) My Personal YouTube channel, which I try not to promote intensively… yet. A professional website, GoSecNinja. Well, I need to work on it in the future. And a YouTube channel for GoSecNinja, where I try to help the open-source community make the internet safer. Hireable I made efforts to make myself hireable. There are many Tax-related issues if you want to work on exciting projects around the world. The basic approach to this is you need to relocate to the given country. Well, at least one would like to hire me as an employee. ...

Intro My new teammates asked me if I had any juice security horror stories. This was a very memorable one. In the video above I tried to tell it in a standup-like fashion because if I write a script for it I would not publish it to day. ...

I had a very interesting conversation with Balázs Pózer and Levente Molnár the founders of Hackrate. It was just a get-to-know-each-other meeting where we shared our joy and plans about cybersecurity. Hackrate Hackrate offers, maybe I could call penetration as a service solution. It can be imagined something similar, like HackerOne. It is a Hungarian startup in this field. The basic idea behind their service is to make ethical hacking more transparent. And it is a wonderful idea. If you ever had worked with a penetration tester you may know what I mean. ...

Script Hi, all curios mindes. I have been listening to Mo Gawdat’s Scary Smart audiobook for the last couple of days. I think if you love sci-fi, it is a must to listen to masterpiece. While he was reading the book, I was amazed by his brilliant humor. Despite the fact, he is talking about a serious topic. ...

Script Hi, all curious minds! I planned to create a different video. I still have a couple of days before my next assignment. And the time I’m waiting, I do what I usually do. Geek-out. Diablo 4 is out, and I was watching tutorials about the different builds, and the YouTube algorithm suggested a video about the eminent dangers of AI. ...
