Your Password is not Secure…

Posted on 13/12/202013/12/2020 By Quinzy Beardsdale 1 Comment on Your Password is not Secure…
Cybersecurity, Quinzy

Damien re-posted one of his earlier blog posts yesterday, talking about creating a secure password. I’m here to tell you that your password is not secure. Yes, you can take steps to make it hard to compromise a password, but ultimately there’s always chance it will be compromised as technology improves. Also, it only takes … Read More “Your Password is not Secure…” »

Is your password really secure?

Posted on 12/12/202012/12/2020 By Damien No Comments on Is your password really secure?
Cybersecurity, Damien

Originally posted on October 3, 2018 by Damien Having worked in IT for many years, I thought I had a good handle on how to create a secure password. My passwords didn’t use dictionary words, I used mixed case, numbers and symbols. Of course, they were damn difficult to remember, so I ended up using … Read More “Is your password really secure?” »

Shafted by eBay – Part 2

Posted on 10/12/202010/12/2020 By Damien No Comments on Shafted by eBay – Part 2
Damien, eBay

This is a continuation of my first post about how eBay effectively hijacked my account. If you haven’t read it already, please do so, as it will provide background for this post. Continuing on from the previous post, I wondered if I would receive a reply from a supervisor the next day. I didn’t, of … Read More “Shafted by eBay – Part 2” »

Shafted by eBay – Part 1

Posted on 10/12/202010/12/2020 By Damien No Comments on Shafted by eBay – Part 1
Damien, eBay

Earlier this week I was surprised to get an email from eBay stating that my eBay account was being restricted because it had been linked to another restricted account. Suspecting that this might be some sort of phishing attempt, I logged into eBay, only to discover that the email was in fact legitimate. Reading through … Read More “Shafted by eBay – Part 1” »

Advent of Cyber Update

Cybersecurity, Quinzy

Today marks day 8 of TryHackMe’s Advent of Cyber challenge. So far the challenges have covered topics from using cookies to bypass authentication, directory enumeration, brute forcing accounts, SQL injection and cross site scripting. They’ve also covered utilities such as BurpSuite, gobuster, nmap and sqlmap. I’ve found taking part in the challenge to be extremely … Read More “Advent of Cyber Update” »

Self Working Card Tricks

Posted on 08/12/202009/12/2020 By Damien No Comments on Self Working Card Tricks
Damien, Magic Tricks

Originally posted on September 9, 2018 by Damien The first card trick I ever learned was a pretty simple one that required no sleight of hand, and worked if you could follow the simple instructions. It used 21 cards, and allowed you to identify a chosen card. The trick is simple, get the volunteer to … Read More “Self Working Card Tricks” »

Well, I’ll be Damned…

Cybersecurity, Quinzy

This post is about my attempt to complete a CTF room on TryHackMe. I won’t post any blatant spoilers about what I did, but if you haven’t done EasyCTF yet, you might want to skip this post… So, today after completing the day’s Advent of Cyber task on TryHackMe I decided to continue on with … Read More “Well, I’ll be Damned…” »

The Lie Detector

Posted on 05/12/202008/12/2020 By Damien No Comments on The Lie Detector
Damien, Magic Tricks

Originally posted on September 1, 2018 by Damien I’ve mentioned the first “real” magic trick that I learned was entitled Lie Detector, and it uses the Si Stebbins stack. I don’t even know if I still have the written instructions I bought back in the mid nineties, or if they’ve been turfed in one clean … Read More “The Lie Detector” »

Advent of Cyber

Posted on 03/12/202003/12/2020 By Quinzy Beardsdale No Comments on Advent of Cyber
Cybersecurity, Quinzy

This post could quite easily be titled “How I Finally got off my Arse”, since I’ve been trying to find the motivation to learn about penetration testing (a.k.a. PenTesting). I was prodded into action courtesy of a post on social media somewhere about TryHackMe’s Advent of Cyber event. It seemed like the perfect thing for … Read More “Advent of Cyber” »

Introducing Quinzy Beardsdale

Posted on 03/12/202003/12/2020 By Damien No Comments on Introducing Quinzy Beardsdale
Damien

My decision to resurrect my blog is thanks to a conversation with my friend Quinzy Beardsdale (not his real name, btw). He mentioned that he’d like to start blogging about his efforts to learn about cyber-security, but didn’t want to entrust his data to a free blogging site. I told him that I had a … Read More “Introducing Quinzy Beardsdale” »
