Hey, team! Unfortunately, it’s been some time since I’ve been able to post something but recently, I ran into an issue with a customer’s VMware VCF 5.1.0.0 environment.

Team: Earlier today, VMware released an advisory for their Carbon Black product. It hits hard at a grueling 9.1 rating on CSSv3. It’s a remote code execution vulnerability, which is why it has been rated so high. If you’re making use of App Control versions 8.5.x to 8.8.x, you’re affected. The good news is that …
Team! Happy belated Thanksgiving to all of you! We’re officially one day post-Turkey Day. I hope the day, food, and time with the family was as great for you as it was for me. We have a tradition of going to this state park that is about a 30-minute drive from the house after dinner …

Team! It feels good to be able to type up a post! It’s been a bit and most of my free time has been allocated to the VCDX process. Shout out to my study group friends Jesper, Kyle, and Gio! Soon, I’ll start writing up the experiences that we have all encountered so that I …
