Research & Projects

In this video, I will walk through how to create a virtual machine using Oracle Virtual Box. From there, I will walk through how to access an active directory and set up multiple users within a network. I will also demonstrate how different PCs on the same domain can communicate with each other via network pings.

Objectives

The objective of this lab was to use personal virtual machines to create and set up an internal network between virtual machines and the web, which included creating and setting up an active directory with over 1,000 users. We would then use our personal user accounts to initiate communication between the two virtual machines.

Results

The result of the home lab is that I could initiate the communication using both of my user accounts that I created as the sender and receiver of those IP requests. I also successfully created and updated my active directory with all 1,000 names.

This project is about setting up a VM using Microsoft Azure to monitor cyber-attacks mounted on my personal VM. I completed this project on my own in the comfort of my home, but what made me take on the home lab was the challenge of learning new methods to protect data while also getting a first-hand look at how cyber attacks are mounted.  

Objectives

The main objectives were to set up a VM accessible to outside entities other than myself. Once this was down, I went through the process of setting up intrusion monitors within Sentinel. Once done I went about setting up analytical monitors to see where those attacks were then mounted geographically.

Results

The results of the home lab showed that for this instance a majority of the attacks were launched from the Eurasia geographical region. I was able to see the latitude, longitude, and IP address of the launched attacks thanks to the analytical monitors that I had set up.

This project was a project I had to complete for a class in graduate school. The main objective of the project was to use the internet to download packets from certain URLs, from there, I used Wireshark to analyze the contents of those packets.

Objectives

The main objective of the project was to use the internet to download packets from certain URLs, from there, I used Wireshark to analyze the contents of those packets.

Results

My results were, I was able to download eash specific packet and analyze it's contents to find information about the sender of the IP requests such as (Version of HTTP that they're using, Language of the sender, the location, the time request was sent etc.)
