I spent the first quarter of 2020 preparing for the OSCP exam. Searching for information on Google and numerous "blind" attempts took up all my free time. It turned out to be especially challenging to understand privilege escalation mechanisms. The PWK course pays great attention to this topic, but there are always not enough methodological materials. There are plenty of manuals online with useful commands, but I […]
In this article, I will share my experience setting up CI/CD using the Plesk control panel and GitHub Actions. Today we will learn how to deploy a simple project called "Helloworld."

In the first part of the article, we will look at our project […]
Hello, Habr. I continue the series of articles on VxLAN EVPN technology, which were written specifically for the launch of the "Network Engineer" course from OTUS. Today, we will consider an interesting part of the tasks — routing. Although it may sound trivial, within the framework of a network fabric, things can be more complicated. Part 1 of the series — L2 connectivity between servers in […]
