Introduction to the blog and fieldnotes
This week I’m finally starting my blog. For 3 months I could not think of a single thing to write about, everything seemed too trivial or boring, but people are publishing simple notes about what they read, studied, worked on. There are even just raw list of links to cool articles. Turns out curated content is a great idea, even if most of those articles I could have also seen on Hacker News.
I haven’t made any changes to the technical side. It’s just a static site, built with Hugo and Gokarna theme, that may be slowly modified. There’s no RSS support yet, that’s probably the first thing to do.
Malware Analysis, Assembly and C
I’m still preparing for my OSCP, and to not get burned out I browsed TryHackMe for a side quest, found modules about malware, the new and the old. I completed the old module, and it was really fun. Not too complicated, but interesting enough to make me want more, and so I ordered “Practical Malware Analysis” by Michael Sikorski and Andrew Honig, started reading “x64 Assembly Language Step-by-Step” by Jeff Duntemann as a preparation. I haven’t touched assembly or C since before my marriage, and so I need a little review. I also have “Effective C” by Robert C. Seacord and “The Elements of Computing Systems” by Noam Nisan and Shimon Schocken on my “to be read” list.

I will put here links to articles, videos, or other things I liked, and so:
