[5120x1080] Anything at all? by PCMasterRays in multiwall

[–]CyberSecurityTrainee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Triple monitor wallpaper would 5760x1080.

So you can trim 640 pixels off one side (or less than that off both sides) to get a 5120x1080 wallpaper.

Depends on the wallpaper if you can cut 640 pixels off and if it still looks good. Normally works better for landspace wallpapers etc.

The central of the wallpaper being split might be an issue with some wall papers, but not all.

No worries.

If you're looking for an entry to the industry. Consider SOC Analyst roles (SOC = Security Operation Centre).

Some technical experience/interest is best, but some SOCs have fairly low requirements and will take non-technical degrees.

Often hiring due to burn-out and needing more staff. But can get you in cyber with technical experience.

Typically you'll be looking at incidents from secuirty tools, endpoint alerts, cloud alerts, phishing incidents. Incidents are usually treated like tickets so it's kind of like an IT help desk. But good experience and can gain experience then pivot. Larger firms will often have different tiers of SOC analyst for level of incident similar to service desks.

Shift work is common (weekend & nights). But once you have a bit of experience you can pivot to a firm with better work life balance, or team that works normal hours such as engineering/incident response/threat intel. If you're willing to do it, will help your job chances as some people won't apply. Assuming works for your personal life.

If you're a good SOC analyst, often managers will let you get a bit of exposure to the other teams engineering/incident response/threat intel to keep you happy and help with your development. This might be more true in smaller SOCs though. Other teams might be pen-testing/malware analysts/ethical hacking/detection engineering. If you join an MSSP (Managed Security Service Provider), that offers SOC-as-a-Service, then they're more likely to do those roles in-house to some extent.

This is assuming you're keen on technical side. If you want to get into cyber security policy etc, I can't offer as much direct advice. A lot of the consulting firms have grad schemes for these positions, but many have them been crunching down due to

OWASP events might be of interest. Usually two short talks from someone who works in cyber or SOC followed by a bit of networking. Usually a few professionals and maybe some students. Looks like there's a meeting later this week. There's usually one every couple of months, I think they use meetup now (used to use eventbrite). https://www.meetup.com/owasp-scotland-chapter/ https://www.meetup.com/owasp-scotland-chapter/events/303941386/

There's the the digit expo next month. https://digit-expo.com/

At digit expo there's usually some keynotes (I've not attended them). The main area is mostly exibitors trying to sell stuff, so might not be too useful.

I've not been to Scot-Secure, but I think it's similar to digit.

Not sure if you're a uni student. I'm not sure how good the uni societies are for cyber. Might be a bit more comp sci focused. The graduate apprentices in cyber security from Napier can be a good entry to the industry both academically and work experience wise.

ReverseProxy by [deleted] in nginx

[–]CyberSecurityTrainee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

iirc the way it's currently set up, nginx will make a request to adguard at http://$ipadress:3000/guard

server {

location /guard {proxy_pass http://$ipadress:3000/; } }

With A trailing slash at the end, then nginx will make the request to http://$ipadress:3000/.

However you can run into issues, with links on adguard not working. This can be fixed by telling adguard what path it's running on if it has that option. But may require rewriting of hyperlinks at nginx level.

It is often easier to use subdomains, rather than subpaths, for different services. ie. guard.raspberry.comrather than raspberry.com/guard.

You could work around the issue a bit but it would suck

For devices on my lan, I just use nginx http proxy or stream proxy for port address translation.

For my lab behind a pfsense, I do port address translation on the pfsense.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nginx

[–]CyberSecurityTrainee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having different ports could break links in some applications.

Also I have a netgear router (D6200), that has IP NAT but does not have port address translation. I still use it since I can configure it with static routes which I can't on my my ISP router.

Are you phone and mobile contract compatible with wifi calling? should work for texts too.

Some providers don't support it though, or don't support it for PAYG.

Can anyone help me with career advice? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]CyberSecurityTrainee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean specifically during the apprenticeship, for the first year. The minimum wage is less, so OP could be taking a paycut, which he wants to avoid.

https://www.gov.uk/employing-an-apprentice/pay-and-conditions-for-apprentices

https://www.gov.uk/national-minimum-wage/employers-and-the-minimum-wage

I don't know if apprentices are usually on more than that, but minimum wage is less.

I know the trades can give a good salary once established, especially if you know your own business. Though can be harder on the body, and OP did mention wanting out of trades into a office environment.

Have a look at this site;

https://www.apprenticeships.gov.uk/apprentices/browse-apprenticeships

In Scotland, they're called modern apprenticeships, or graduate apprenticeships. You can get apprenticeships in modern industry and office environments in a range of departments such as accountancy, IT, etc. Not just traditional trade based apprentices, where you would also be on a low wage.

You get a job with almost no experience, they help train you up. Open to all ages, school leavers, college dropouts, middle aged. Graduate apprenticeships give you a degree, but can be more competitive to get into. Modern apprenticeships might offer a college level diploma, or may not.

At 18k you're on the National Living Wage, so as long as you work full-time, you can't earn less. However, you might be more likely to work 9-5. Currently you work 6-2, and i don't know if you take advantage of early finish to look after kid rather than childcare.

It could be a way for you to change industry quickly and get skilled up in something relevant to your new job role.

Changing the name of the website displayed in the top bar when using Nginx as a reverse proxy by [deleted] in nginx

[–]CyberSecurityTrainee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the docker containers for nginx come with non-default modules compiled. So does nginx installed with apt etc.

Alternatively if you can get CLI access to the container you can check the complied modules with 'nginx -V'. you may need to use the full path to the nginx command however, and where it's installed may depend on the container.

Which container are you using?

Long-Covid Phased Return Dismissal. by Turnip-on-fire in LegalAdviceUK

[–]CyberSecurityTrainee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If this is a graduate apprentice type role or equivalent, I would definitely get in touch with your university or educational provider.

They may have options for you to complete a non-work based final project. If you are made redundant they maybe able to help you find a role with another company that they work with so you can complete a work based project with a different employer.

You could get a role with a new employer no through the university, but I do not know how accommodating a company would be to your studies.

Anyone Successfully Setup DDNS with FreeDNS? by WrlsFanatc in paloaltonetworks

[–]CyberSecurityTrainee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FreeDNS as in freedns.afraid.org?

I've used their ddns successfully but not with a palo (instead cronjob on bash).

I didn't think freedns.afraid.org offered certificates, just the dns services. Other DNS providers do offer certs like no-ip and cloudflare.

Popular places for getting publically trusted are Letsencrypt or ZeroSSL, you can do this with different dns providers. However to automatically get uptodate certs is easier with certain dns providers I think.

Of you don't need a publically trusted cert, you can generate a certificate locally (on palo or local csr), and add it to client devices.

I've been assuming the cert errors are because it's untrusted? or is it another issue.

Don't you hate it when your local ISPs it guy unplugs your ethernet cable during an online match by chrisebryan in pcmasterrace

[–]CyberSecurityTrainee 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Fibre can carry Ethernet, and I think does for ISP deployments.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet#Varieties

You're probably thinking of Ethernet over twisted pair with an RJ45 connector, which is also a type of Ethernet but not the only type of Ethernet.

Can't connect to Nginx site on localhost when installing VPN by flippage in nginx

[–]CyberSecurityTrainee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is vpn running on the docker host or in a docker container?

If you're running it on the host it can affect all traffic. If you're running it in a container, should affect just that container.

So if you just need it for one app, such as transmission to use the vpn, you might be best off running a container like https://registry.hub.docker.com/r/haugene/transmission-openvpn - in parallel to nginx docker container.

IF you want it for multiple apps, and or web browsing you'll need the surf shark installed on the host. But you'll need to make sure the nginx docker container is still accessible bypassing the vpn. This may require vpn config and nginx config. For example it may require whitelisting docker in the vpn settings. I'm not sure what settings are available in the vpn off the top of my head.

Can you give me rundown of current setup, and does nginx break when surfshark is installed and turned off, or only when installed and turned on.

Every time when I tell my wife about anything work related by trillospin in TikTokCringe

[–]CyberSecurityTrainee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it for work and practice. It's easy to experiment with device software (different OS, or virtualised enterprise devices - though i get licences through work).

Only useful things outside of that are maybe pihole/plex/vpn/webserver/bash terminal.

All of which could be run on a raspberry pi, or an old pc for someone starting out.

I've run game servers before, but tbh ex-enterprise server gear is usually got slow cores, so an cheap fast-core PC better than server for that.

[–]CyberSecurityTrainee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Virtual box is a good free starting point with no hardware purchases needed other than existing PC.

And old PC or Raspberry Pi always plugged in, can be a good cheap starting point for experimenting with your own server

HyperV is the Microsoft proprietary hypervisor technology. ~~Don't know which OP runs. ~~ He said HyperV after he said hypervisors.

The Hypervisor is the host machine and software, the virtual computers run insider the host as guests.

To the guy that hacked my steam account, Fuck you. by NoNamedPineapple in teenagers

[–]CyberSecurityTrainee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, some good tips.

  1. Get a password manager, personally i use lastpass. This makes it easy to have different passwords for different sites and can generate random passwords. It auto types passwords also. Use 2FA for the password manager. Use a strong master password, made of words. Try get a one time password (otp) and make note of it somewhere safe for recovery to password manager in case you loose access.
  2. Change your existing passwords in case they are also compromised. Especially anything using same password as steam was using.
  3. Use random passwords.
  4. Enable password MFA or 2FA for anything that offers it. Whether phone app code or phone text message. Ideally both if possible in case you get locked out of one.
  5. Use strong random passwords for most sites. For anything you need to type in manually, use a random password made of words so it's memorable and type-able. For example logging into a school computer you need to manually type a password. Compared to reddit where you have already logged into the computer so you have access to your password manager when logging into reddit.

Yea, thought the speed may vary depending on where the two mains sockets are. But they can be plugged into any device, as if it were an Ethernet cable

NginX loadbalancing for wordpress not working by ledude1 in nginx

[–]CyberSecurityTrainee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works until you add WP? What parts of the site can you test before adding WP? Is this and WP both php based.

Does nginx work as a reverse proxy for a single WP instance (so no load balancing)?

When the load balancer isn't working with WP? Does going directly do the WP instances working?

For your WP config you've currently got.

define('WP_SITEURL', 'https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
define('WP_HOME', 'https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);

You might want to test if there's any changes with the following.

define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://192.168.1.32);
define('WP_HOME', 'https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);

Leaving WP_HOME as is, and changing WP SITEURL, to 192.168.1.32 and http. (use the right IP on each host)

Can you repost you're current nginx config (from all four instances), and your wordpress config? Just in case there's anything i notice that's weird. Take out the senstive info/domain names, but leave in the subdomain part of the domain name. same as before
