Hey everyone — 404 Yeti here, back from the frozen tundra with a fresh digital forensics challenge! Today, we’re going to learn how to safely capture a forensic image of a compromised virtual machine. This process is one of the most important steps in any incident response or digital investigation
Hey everyone — 404 Yeti here, wrapping up the fourth Trace Labs OSINT Challenge! ❄ This one takes us high above the snow clouds into one of the most recognizable skylines in the world — but getting there required some sharp observation. Let’s break it down, step by step. The Mission Task:
Hey everyone — 404 Yeti here, back again with another frosty challenge! Today we’re diving into the Dark Web, but don’t worry — this isn’t about anything shady. This is about learning safely, understanding how Tor works, and building your own .onion website for educational and research purposes. So
Hey everyone — 404 Yeti here, brushing off some cherry blossom snow and stepping into the world of Japanese OSINT! Japan has one of the most beautiful, private, and fascinating digital ecosystems in the world — filled with mystery, creativity, and cultural depth. This guide is written with respect and curiosity — not
Hey everyone — 404 Yeti here, back to conquer another avalanche of a challenge from Trace Labs! ❄️ This time we’re heading into one of the busiest intersections in the world, deep in the heart of Tokyo. Let’s dive in, investigator style. Tools used: * Google Reverse Image Search * Google Earth

Hey everyone — 404Yeti here. Today we’re going on a little IoT archaeology trip: enumerating a TP-Link router, sniffing boot signals, and peeking into its firmware to understand what secrets live inside. This is an educational exercise in firmware analysis and defensive research — don’t poke devices you don’t

Hey everyone — Yeti here, back with another bright (and blinking) adventure from the snowy streets of IoT security. ❄️ Today, we’re building and hacking a traffic light simulation using an Arduino board. Why? Because traffic control systems — both virtual and physical — are a critical part of our smart city infrastructure,
