🛠️ Why I Hacked GoPro Plus Cloud? If you’re a GoPro Plus user, you’ve probably felt the frustration of trying to download your media in bulk, only to be stopped by the 25-file limit. This arbitrary restriction makes it tedious 😤😡 to migrate your content to other platforms like Google Drive, Dropbox, or your self-hosted NAS (e.g. Synology).

Today, I’ll walk you through what the tool does, how you can use it, and why this matters for anyone looking to break free ⛓️‍💥 from proprietary cloud ecosystems. ...

✨ Introduction Welcome to Part 2 of the OpenVPN server series! 🎉 If you’ve gone through the manual setup guide, you know that setting up an OpenVPN server manually can be a bit tedious. 🤔 But what if you could automate the entire process? 💡 This guide introduces an Ansible playbook that takes care of everything—from installing dependencies to configuring the OpenVPN server and generating client certificates. 🛠 Prerequisites Before diving in, ensure you have the following ready: ...

In this post, we will walk through the steps of setting up an OpenVPN server on an Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04 or 24.04 machine (it should work for older versions as well 🤞).

OpenVPN is an open-source VPN protocol that is widely used for creating VPN servers and clients. ...

Apart from being the cutest animal in the world 😍, Slowloris is also a low-bandwidth Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack running on Application layer of the OSI model (OSI Layer 7). The attack allows the attacker to overwhelm a target HTTP server by exploiting the internals of the HTTP protocol. How does a normal HTTP request-response work? In a normal scenario the client opens a TCP connection after which it sends the text information for the request. Each of the request’s lines are terminated by \r\n (so-called CRLF - carriage return line feed ⌨️) sequence. The end of the request is signaled by \r\n\r\n. ...

If you are landing on this page you probably already know what SSH is and how to use it through CLI. If not, take a quick look here.
