Full disclosure: This is my notes from watching Plantplants, a student mentor at OffSec, on a Twitch live stream. The video will be reposted to OffSec’s youtube soon. Setup After launching the targe machine on the OffSec portal, set a local zsh environment variable to the target IP export IP=10.0.0.2 The variable can then be used in future commands. Recon Plantplants mentioned he liked to do manual enumeration while the all port scan ran in the background.

This website started out as a college project in 2015 to learn about content creation, SEO, and websites. The domain has changed a few times and so has the layout, but the core purpose has always been the same. It is important to be able to articulate, summarize, and present while learning a new topic. Blogging has allowed me to share about my professional development and community involvement. As a decade approaches, my focus is shifting to include guest authors, cross posts, and more in order to bring in those with a similar passion.
