Deploying a Honeypot onto AWS

Recently I came across T-Pot, an "all in one honeypot platform" published on Github by T-Mobile's security division. I've played around with honeypots before but they were often tricky to set up and extract meaningful data from - so the prospect of a straightforward way to gather a lot of data was interesting.

Using YubiKeys for TOTP 2FA

I'm a big advocate for YubiKeys - I think they're fantastic bits of hardware, but they're also quite poorly understood and even people who do use them often don't use the full set of features that these keys are capable of. I'm hoping to write a few posts about things you can do with YubiKeys, … Continue reading Using YubiKeys for TOTP 2FA

Understanding AWS S3 Encryption

Whilst working with Amazon's object storage S3 service recently, it occurred to me that there were a lot of different options for encrypting objects in your buckets, and that people new to the service or AWS might find it difficult to understand the differences between them or know which one to use. There are two … Continue reading Understanding AWS S3 Encryption

A Beginner’s Guide To Virtualisation

I've spoken to a few people working in tech recently who aren't entirely sure how this whole "virtualisation" thing works and don't know that much about it, so I've decided to write an introduction to it that hopefully contains enough info to give someone new to the field a good grounding in the basics. What … Continue reading A Beginner’s Guide To Virtualisation

Last week, I headed down to London for the 2018 AWS Summit. AWS Summits are free events that Amazon run to try and educate people about their cloud, and the benefits of running your workloads on it. Hosted at the ExCeL in the Docklands, I believe the London summit is the largest in the EU … Continue reading AWS Summit London 2018

Lots of people don't seem to fully understand Object Oriented programming, so I decided to write this series where I would do my best to explain it in a simple fashion that's suitable for both programming beginners and people who are just getting started with Object Oriented (OO) programming.
