(DIR) <- Back # Happy new year! Last modification on 2024-01-03 Wish you all a happy new year 2024! 🎉 As you may have noticed, last year ended with fewer blog posts. Not only work kept me really busy, but I also used the time to work on a few personal projects intensively and learn a lot of new skillz. Including but not limited to: - a fully fledged homelab rack for compute, storage & network - a complete netflow/IDS "SIEM" solution for home network security - hypervisor setup for testing exploitation techniques and malware analysis - endless IoT & home automation tinkering in my new flat - all the sensors & dashboards you can imagine - reverse engineering, e.g. for controlling my window blinds - addressable (sound-reactive) LED installations (also in our local hackerspace) - hacking around in 9front (HTM) And finally, I also visited the »37c3« "chaos communication congress" at the end of the year, followed by a nice new year's party in Hamburg. Expect writeups on many of the topics above soon-ish. .
