Dont tell her you made a valentines day post about her, let her find it later.  As funny as this might be, just love. That's all that matters, it's all we need.

I hope this helps someone but to setup a network printer on Windows 10, it's usually pretty straight forward.  Well, you're gonna need your computer and your printer on the same network. Most printers come with quick start setup for doing this part, they may even suggest their apps or something to do so. But most of the time it's settings -> network -> wifi and setup the wifi connection from there, or settings -> network -> status/ethernet if you're using wired connections. Get to "Printers & Scanners" under the devices section of settings. I usually just press windows key to pull open the start menu, then type in printers to get here. To make this easy, we just push that + button next to add printer or scanner. This should search the network for your printer. (There is several protocols for this, and you can find technical details on some stuff like this stack overflow link   Click on your printer, if it is found correctly, and it should autom...

Dusting, and other things you haven't been doing. Just some quick little dos and don't for dusting a computer, from my experience. Dos Set aside time to clear out your computer of dust, bugs, and other things regularly. In a normal home or small business, this may be once a month or every other month and that's okay. For high dust environments, clean it more often. Be cautious of spinning fans. Even with a little spray keyboard duster, if you let it spin your fans, it may be strong enough to bend the blades or otherwise put additional wear on the fan physically. If you let it free spin, on occasion you may damage the bearings or the plastic connections to the motors and the fan won't connect properly. This causes the fan to be unusable and usually becomes a matter of replacing the fan. This includes processor fans, case fans, powers supply fans, etc... DO NOT SPIN THEM BECAUSE ITS FUN. I know it is, but refrain. Use between 40-50 psi from air compressors. Most controlle...

 CozyHosting Intro: I went to start another HTB system and figured this would be a good one to write up. I know there are other writeups on this, and from what I've seen, I think I can put together something better to follow. So, lets dig in. Recon: I started with nmap, I have nmap aliased which is basically setting mynmap to "nmap -sS -sV -Pn -p1- --open -sC -oN nmap" which I have setup this way so I can create a folder for the htb challenge, enter the folder, and then nmap from there. saving my file for reference later. This does miss some udp stuff and things like that, so it's not the best scanning, but it's sufficient in most cases to give me an advantage A few other starter things I like to do is start dirb and eyewitness to go grab a picture of the site. Lets not forget to go ahead and get some whatweb detection goodness. So far we've only found login and admin pages, think I'm gonna try to run FFUF to see what else we can find while we investigate ...
