Today I will show you how to install OpenVPN server on the latest version of Ubuntu Linux (26.04 as of writing) in a matter of a few minutes. 🙂
I have been working on a series of small projects to run on my virtual private server and, of course, this has me spinning up VPN’s quite often so I figured I would make a quick video on how to do it.
In this video we will use AI to code a Python script that can help you in recovering your lost bitcoin wallet.
More precisely we will be using Google’s AI Studio to work out a little tool capable of assisting in bitcoin wallet recovery with the use of brute-forcing the original words that form your seed phrase.
The purpose for this article is to guide you on the use of this tool but also to show you how to approach using AI for creating simple tools to help you in your repetitive daily tasks. With AI being so widespread and easy to use right now it is a good idea to think of what tools you can create to automate certain tasks and save your precious time. But before we begin…
In this episode we’ll take a look at brute-forcing a VeraCrypt container using Hashcat.
For starters I want to say that I’m a huge VeraCrypt fan and use it all the time, for a long time. Long enough to remember when it was, originally, called TrueCrypt before the project was abandoned.
I caught myself thinking: how long would it actually take to brute-force specific password masks? That’s when I decided to put it to the test using Hashcat and an operating system equipped with a graphics card.
Hope y’all been alright lately. I’ve been studying a bunch as part of a certification package I was awarded – focused on network security. While I’m excited to do it and learn a lot of cool stuff, it’s also draining pretty much all my free time.
While I’ve been doing this certification I’ve had to dive deep into a lot of theory-oriented network stuff like frames, packets and all those meaningless terminologies. It’s so much theory that I had to install Scapy just to see some of these packets in action and get hands-on with the damn thing – I mean seriously if you’ve taken some of these certs you’re probably used to how dry and boring it gets just reading about protocols and not actually doing anything.
Anyway we are here to talk about Scapy today and not my boring life 🙂
What is Scapy?
To put it simply, its a packet sniffing and crafting program. There is a lot more you can do with it like decoding certain protocols and interacting with Wireshark captures among other cool things (see the documentation page).
