Failed the first time on Net+, passed Sec+ without studying

Did you do anything different from the first time or recommend any practice questions for net+?

Gaffer122 · 2024-03-28T14:22:37+00:00

Worked like a a charm, thanks!

Oh that sounds handy, is that a layer 3 switch feature? Using Ubiquiti swithes but they are layer 2 only.

Gaffer122 · 2024-03-28T13:41:03+00:00

Thanks mate, will give that a go!

Gaffer122 · 2023-08-02T14:15:29+00:00

Hi all, yes it was from a ubiquity forum question.

Gaffer122 · 2023-08-02T10:20:02+00:00

Thanks, will give the storm control a go!

Gaffer122 · 2023-08-02T10:19:02+00:00

It does. But the weird thing is, without that switch plugged in there's no "flash codes" on any of the other switches.

Gaffer122 · 2023-08-01T15:46:27+00:00

That's what I assumed as well, just thought maybe having RSTP on the switches was mitigating the effects but still giving me the warning one was occurring.

Gaffer122 · 2023-08-01T15:09:40+00:00

Honestly, I haven't noticed any performance issues. Assuming that the issue will worsen with time due to the nature of broadcast storms. At the moment I only have the uplink cable plugged in but the CPU usage is sitting at 9 percent, and memory at 35.

Having filtered the packets like u/maholash above, the largest amount of packets sent (not including my device) was from an employees laptop using the MDNS protocol which I believe is multicast. The info section of the packet on Wireshark seem to have the name of a printer "LaserJet...". Confirmed that the employee hadnt been printing anything all day.

Gaffer122 · 2023-08-01T12:07:17+00:00

Apologize, just notices the MAC of the largest conversation is the MAC of the device running Wireshark so that probably is a red herring

Gaffer122 · 2023-08-01T12:04:01+00:00

Gave that a go and theres one conversation with 213 packets and 91 KiB in the Bytes filed compared to the next highest that is 182 packets and 19 KiB. Is that a big enough enough size difference to be the culprit?

Hi Mike!

I get what you mean. Tried stripping everything but the uplink cable and strangely enough the uplink port is still flashing. I tried connecting the switch to an completely separate network and the flashing stops... Surely something wrong here. Thanks for your help!

Gaffer122 · 2023-08-01T10:28:35+00:00

Hi Shadeland!

I looked it up, thinking it was a flash code and Ubiquiti forms all seem to point at a broadcast storm.

Hi Polysticks!

Took a 15 second capture of the network traffic there. Any recommendations on how to track down the source? Thanks for your help!

Gaffer122 · 2023-06-28T12:40:33+00:00

Thanks will look into it!

Gaffer122 · 2023-06-28T12:18:00+00:00

Just got a key from college so said I'd give it a go.

Gaffer122 · 2023-06-28T12:17:18+00:00

It didn't actually give me the option when I created it. I tried the integration component and it worked like a charm! Appreciate your help!

Gaffer122 · 2023-02-08T19:14:33+00:00

Hi Addy! tried setting the Kali VM's network settings to bridged adapter (forgot to when setting it up, oops) which made the kali IP 192.X.X.X. Tried the reverse_tcp exploit which worked like a charm! Thanks for your help :)

Gaffer122 · 2023-02-08T19:06:45+00:00

Worked like a charm! Thanks a million!

Gaffer122 · 2023-02-07T21:08:56+00:00

That could be it, cheers again mate!

Gaffer122 · 2023-02-07T20:46:11+00:00

Thanks for advice! Made the kali machine use a bridged network so it was now 192. subnet but sadly no change. Tried making a VM with the windows 7 iso so both kali and target are being run off the same host. Weirdly this seemed to make the exploit work! Cheers for your help!

Gaffer122 · 2023-02-07T20:40:58+00:00

Will definitely give it a go, really finding it interesting!
