Learning Progress Pt.59

Daily learning part fifty-nine.

Today was another productive day. I wrote about 130-140 lines of code. I added a subdomain enumeration function, a common port scanner, server fingerprint, and added everything into the interactive CLI. I think I should end this series because my goal now is productivity, coding, and testing my skills. All that's left for learning is to train a little bit more for the Security+ certificate.

Daily learning part fifty-eight.

Today was a focused day. I started a new project with Python. I decided to make a new tool, a web vulnerability scanner. I can't tell you exactly what the final tool will include yet, but I have a plan for a few tools I want to add, and I could add more later. Today I added a security header check, a directory enumerator, basic error handling for requests, an interactive CLI with a banner and a menu, and clean separation of functions. I am done for today. I wrote around 140 lines of Python.

Daily learning part fifty-seven.

Today I finished the C2 (Command & Control) project. Firstly, I implemented TLS encryption in the C2 server by generating a self signed certificate and configuring flask to serve HTTPS instead of HTTP. Then I added XOR encryption with base64 encoding to both task commands and result outputs. I added threading to the agent file so it allows the agent to execute long running commands in the background while still checking for new tasks. I uploaded the project to GitHub.

Daily learning part fifty-six.

Today I spent about 3-5 hours coding. I wrote about 110-150 lines of code. I deleted the argparse file and decided to go with a more interesting idea. I decided to go with an interactive operator CLI. I added a bunch of commands, help, task, results, list etc. I added persistence to both the server and agent side. I also added a kill switch to delete everything, it can delete the data of a connection with a user or the whole server data. Tomorrow I am planning on finishing the project.

Daily learning part fifty-five.

I am back. After almost a month of no sessions, I am finally back. It was a series of events that led to my break. I was traveling, visiting family and cousins, and my home wasn't accessible for almost 20 days. During that time, I read books and reviewed lessons so when I came back I would be able to continue learning. I started my sessions three days ago but I didn't blog them because I spent most of the time reviewing lessons. Today I wrote 220 lines of code in Python. I am building a C2 (Client & Command) server. For now the server works and I can get the agents to execute commands, but over the next few days I will try to perfect it. I am getting better at Python and I have almost reached the level of skill I wanted to have for Python. After 2-3 weeks I am going to move on to JS, HTML & CSS. This break slowed me down a lot and I hate that. That's why I am going to not take breaks longer than a week Inshallah.

I spent about 4-5 hours today only on Python. The plans for Sec+ have changed. I am planning to study for it in September or October and take the test a month later.

Daily learning part fifty-four.

I started today's session at 17:00. I worked on some private projects and reviewed some math lessons. After that I started the security+ learning session. I am planning about taking the test in about 2 months from now. After finishing the session I spent time doing some research, debugging some code and finally finished the session at 21:30.

Daily learning part fifty-three.

I am posting a day late again. I'm sorry about that.

I started the session at 16:00. I spent some time doing research, working on some projects which I have decided not to make public. Right now I'm preparing to get the Security+ certification. I am following the Professor Messer training course on YouTube. And by the end of the session I just spent some time reading.

I finished the session at 22:15.

Daily learning part fifty-two.

Today I started a new journey to train for the CompTIA Security+. I am going to dedicate the next few months to that and some other ideas I have laid out. I did pretty much that all day, planning and doing some research. I am also working on some projects at the moment. I also spent some hours reading a book. I'm not going to mention every day that I read a book, but it will be a part of my daily routine.

Daily learning part fifty-one.

I've been missing days because of work trips. Anyway, yesterday I started the session at 17:00. I finally finished the Cybersecurity101 path on TryHackMe. I've also started reading books, and I'm going to focus more on that. The brightest minds on earth put their whole experience into a single book. Books change the way you think. So from now on, books are going to be part of my learning journey.

I finished the session at 22:00.

Daily learning part fifty.

I started today's session at 14:30. I spent my day doing rooms on TryHackMe. I don't know exactly how many rooms I did, but I answered 269 questions. I reached #27 in Kosovo. I finished the session at 20:30.

Daily learning part forty-nine.

Today I spent the whole day completing TryHackMe rooms. I completed 17 rooms within 5 hours. I also completed a HackTheBox room. I feel like dedicating a day to one field can get more things accomplished.

Daily learning part forty-eight.

Today I started the session at 17:00. Basically all I did for 5 hours was debug the code and finally publish it to GitHub. I also started the Security+ course from Professor Messer. I finished the session at 22:30.
