Starting off with a mini win lol 🥲 Setting up a virtual lab to follow a book I got on networking & security. I was able to successfully set up pfSense & Metasploit so I can attack her 🥰.
Always frustrating yet rewarding when you have to Google & experiment your way to solutions lol errors happen all the time & you have to really be persistent and not accept defeat. I always end up learning more from having to overcome obstacles when I learn new things in tech
So far:
- I set up pfSense VM & enabled a bridged adapter to create a connection between the VM & internet
- Enabled network adapter to an internal network so it can connect to other VMs
- Set up Metasploitable VM & connect to my internal network
Now I’m installing Kali Linux
280 characters is not enough to explain everything I’ve learned from trial and error this morning lol this is where I need to actually write a blog post.

#TIL about OSINT (open source intelligence, the process of gathering information utilizing public resources) & I’m like wait a min, I’ve been doing this for FUN since I was a kid and there’s whole methodologies and techniques? It’s never too late to learn and expand your skillset
I always thought I was weird bc I’ll just randomly go on deep dives and find more information about a person or case. I’ll have barely one or 2 clues or pieces of information about something & investigate. That’s what I did for a lot of missing person cases for instance.
