Just another network and security blog
This is an old post that I wrote back in 2021 when I first signed up with them. Time flies, but I’m still very happily using them for all email related to the firewallninja.info domain. If you dont need the bells and whistles of the more enterprise focused offerings from the likes of Microsoft or […]
And by favorite, of course I mean least favorite ever. This one has been a thorn in my side for a while now. In the User Password Policy (Administration > Identity Management > Settings > User Password Policy), under Password Lifetime, there’s a setting called “Disable user account after ____ days if password not changed.” […]
Here’s another classic from the vault that’s coming forward pretty much as-is after a new first paragraph providing context. Here we have a paper on the relationship between TEMPEST and SIGINT that I wrote for a class. Based on the topic and therefore my best guess as to what class this might have been for, […]
This is definitely one of those 100% for me posts, I dont know who else is going to get value from it. The topology was derived from old CCNP Security courseware, which is dated 2014. But I definitely remember the SENSS exam, which is where these books start. Remember these? LOL So here’s your basic […]
Anyone running Kaseya still? More specifically, Kaseya on-prem. I dont know if that’s even a thing anymore, they were sure trying to kill it even that long ago.

The following is is the final paper written for my Internet Law class back in 2010. This was an undergrad class that was scoped for the Information Assurance program and taught by an real life practicing lawyer. Where do we stand on it’s relevance today in 2026? Same problems as always? Have we fixed this […]
This is a post from the old blog, and I expect an older post like this here and there will get cleaned up and reposted because it’s information that I want to keep track of for future use. I’m documenting my efforts in the lab afterall. One would think that getting RSA Netwitness working with […]
So now that I’ve figured out where I’m going from here, the next question becomes were to begin? Do I skip the easy stuff and just get right back to the meat of it? Or do I begin within my comfort zone and knock out an easy win like the CCNA? I’m leaning towards that, […]
Going back to the days not too long after first earning this certification myself, I started moderating the largest CCNA related group on Facebook. I still take as much pride in keeping this group free of advertising, cheating, and every other spam post that someone wants to post prominently on the groups page. WIth that […]
