Getting my Website Started

I wanted to create a static website to showcase projects I’m working on. I found that a good, free choice is using Jekyll with Github Pages to make it easy to put something online quickly. It took some time to figure out everything, but here it is.

Github Pages

I started with Quickstart for Github Pages

I also wanted to set it up with Jekyll, so I followed along with Set up site with Jekyll

I finally wanted a custom domain, so I followed Configure a custom domain

Theme

I wanted to switch to a theme that wasn’t the default Minima, so I could at least pretend some uniqueness. I attempted changing the theme in the config file, but that broke the site. So I found a youtube video on how to build a Github Pages site using Jekyll, and Ahmed Tremo was using the theme I wanted to, so I followed along with his video.

Local Repository

Ahmed’s video showed how to clone locally, and how to push changes through Visual Studio, so that’s what I’m using to make posts and pushing. I did find Jekyll Compose to quickly make a new post that includes Front Matter.

The Future

My goal is to post on here my continuing journey of gaining more knowledge in Cybersecurity, specifically Threat Hunting. I’ve found some great resources.

I took the Threat Hunting Course offered through Active Countermeasures on February 23.

During this Threat Hunting Training, they mentioned going to ACM’s daily malware blog, downloading the PCAP and researching and attempting write-ups.

Faan Ross put out a great course: Threat Hunting for Beginners: hunting standard dll-injected c2 implants

I want to look into some MITRE ATT&CK training, atomic red team, and more.

I’m excited to learn and grow!
