0xfeedface Tech musings and rants

My dream job would be to be a security analyst. I love finding and exploiting vulnerabilities. I naturally think more like an attacker than a developer. Today, my employer fully switched me from software engineering (web development) to security analysis. As of today, I'm officially in charge of developing 0days, reporting vulnerabilities to the development team, managing risks, and security-related trainig . I'm no longer a software engineer.

Now all that's left is to get my dream pay. That'll come with time, education, and experience.

I've been using VirtualBox on my NAS for a while now. The problem is that it's hard to administer on a headless server. There's so many commands you have to do in a specific order to just create a new VM. I'm going to be installing xVM on my NAS. I'm going to see how xVM runs compared to VirtualBox and how easy it is to administer on a headless server. I can hopefully get it done this weekend. I'll give a report when I've made the switch.
