Getting a local-only RTSP feed with Wyze Cam V2 and IPTables
I finally got RTSP running on a Wyze Cam V2, and then whipped up some IPTables rules in my router to keep the video streams in the local network.

What's the German word for when you build a new thing without realizing that it's already a solved problem and you're just reinventing the wheel? Because I just discovered that I've been (ab)using Dropbox to implement DDNS, which is already a solved problem.
This week I got to experiment with setting up a reverse proxy on EC2 using NGINX, and it was a ton of fun. I'm so used to tools that suffer from scope creep and are a pain in the ass to set up and configure properly, and I fully expected this to be an exercise is insanity. But no! It was awesome, and I write about it.
A few weeks ago, I wrote about using a dictionary attack to crack a virtual Linux box. In that post, I mentioned using pam_cracklib.so to harden your system against this type of attack. In this post, I'm going to elaborate on that a bit by showing how to do this, and talk about why a sysadmin would want to do so.
I've spent the last few weeks participating in the SecureSet War Games Denver, and it's been a lot of fun. The sessions are a mix of security lectures and hands on activities, with a few CTF type events thrown in there. We recently did a CTF game for gaining root access on a remote Linux VM, where we would need to identify and exploit weaknesses in the system as fast as possible. The winner would get a Sphero Ollie.
After spending some time slogging through journald logs, I cursed the gods of syslogs and said "There's GOT to be a better way!" In this post, I explore using a local ELK stack to parse, store and analyze my system event logs.
In this post, I'll talk about some ways to ensure your SSH sessions stay private.
Concluding this set of posts on PGP, I'm going to talk about some safe ways to share a PGP identity between a desktop and a laptop.
In keeping with the theme of the past few weeks, I'm going to cover some questions you should ask yourself before creating a PGP identity
The OpenPGP standard allows people to sign, encrypt and decrypt files, directories, messages, etc. In this post, we'll look at what PGP is, how it's used, and some guidelines for setting it up securely.
It’s a new year, and I think it’s time for a new OS. Ubuntu has been great for the past few years, and it really ease...
