Only 4 Days left!
It is 12/20/22 and there is only 4 days of Advent of Cyber 2022 left. I have enjoyed the time I have spent so far with the challenges. The challenges have gotten harder over the month, and I have learned so much. Since the last update I posted there has been 10 more challenges, including exploiting web applications, memory forensics, packet analysis and even a little bit of hardware hacking using Saleae. My favorite challenge day so far was 13. On day 13 the challenge was to use Wireshark to look through a packet capture and use filters to find specific network events. It is always interesting to see what is happening behind the scenes on the networks we use everyday. Looking at the live feed of network events can be pretty overwhelming at first, but spending a little more time with the tool and learning how the different filters work helped a lot. I am excited to see what the rest of this years challenges will bring!
