  • T-POT – All In One Multi Honeypot Platform

Utilizing Docker for containerization, T-Pot runs the following honeypots simultaneously on a single host. To make it easy…

  • Enabling IPv6 on OpenLiteSpeed

    With the re-relaunch of this personal website, I thought I would try something different and use the OpenLiteSpeed web server instead of NGINX or Apache. Getting started was easy as my host, DigitalOcean already had a WordPress golden image, that is based on Ubuntu 22.04, available with it. However, IPv6 was enabled by default on…

  • Intro To Golang Presentation

    On September, 17, 2019, I gave a very brief presentation during a tech meetup at Geekdom in San Antonio, TX, titled “A Very Brief Intro to Golang”.

  • Software Usability Abstract

    There are a few useful notes on software usability / Human Computer Interaction (HCI), written on hallway the whiteboards in the Century Link St. Louis office that I feel provide a good summary of the topic.

  • Fatpipe.org IP Packet Header Drawings

I was able to recover these copies of the original PDF files up using the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine I uploaded the PDF versions of the drawings here…

  • Integration Testing Ansible Playbooks with Travis CI and Docker

    The process behind performing integration tests on Ansible playbooks is almost exactly the same as the one used to test individual roles. In fact, this tutorial is based on a modified version of Continuous Testing of Ansible Roles with Docker and Travis CI by Ignacio Sánchez Ginés. This tutorial is a demonstration of how I…

  • Regular Expressions and In-Place Slice Manipulation in Go

    Regular expressions are very useful for parsing strings. If you need to replace a substring or split up an array, you should consider using regular expressions. I will admit that I am not an expert in regards to using them, however, I will not dismiss their usefulness. You may find the RexEgg.com Regex Cheat Sheet…

  • Traversing Directories Recursively and Sorting Objects by Attribute Value in Go

    Lets say you would like to sort all the files in a directory, as well as its sub directories by an attribute like file size. Approach: First, you need to recursively traverse or walk the specified directory, which is easy in Golang with the filepath.Walk() function from the path/filepath package. In order to use filepath.Walk()…
