    I have been asked to produce a clear, accurate map of a small K-12 school / church network before we move on to a later firewall project. The immediate objective is to discover every device on both subnets (/24 and /16), identify the HP switches, the Comcast-supplied modem, and the wireless access points, then show exactly what is plugged into every switch port. My plan is to run LDWin first; however, I am not very comfortable with Wireshark or alternative discovery utilities and would like step-by-step guidance on the best toolset and workflow so the process is repeatable for staff. No Cisco gear is in play, and the dead on-prem server will not be replaced, so there is no AD or local DNS to query. I need help from you: • How to get verified inventory of all switches, routers...

    I need to keep my “Dbx” browser-based account open on two separate Windows laptops at the same time. Right now the admin side forces a single-user restriction, so the second machine is kicked off as soon as the first one connects. My plan is to route both laptops through the same VPN exit point (I already have a specific VPN provider in mind and will share the credentials) so the service sees them as one device or at least allows parallel sessions without triggering the lockout. If you know a cleaner technique that still runs through my chosen VPN, I’m open to it, but the solution must respect the provider I’m already paying for. What I expect from you: • A tested configuration or script that lets both laptops stay logged in simultaneously. • Cle...

    I need hands-on help keeping my AWS estate running smoothly and fully automated. Day to day I work with EC2 for compute, S3 for object storage, and RDS for databases, all sitting on standard Linux distributions. Your role is to jump in alongside me during my working hours, answer questions, fix issues, and, when needed, take the keyboard over a screen-share to demonstrate the right way to do it. Automation is key. I already use Terraform to provision the cloud resources and I want every new change written as clean, reusable HCL. Configuration after the machines are up is handled through Ansible, so you must feel comfortable writing new playbooks and keeping the inventory tidy and scalable.

The immediate priority is true on-demand technical support: when an alert spikes, a policy breaks, or a new SaaS application appears, I want to know you can connect, troubleshoot, and restore full protection without delay. Most of the work centers on the Netskope CASB/SWG stack and perimeter firewalls running Gaia OS. You should be comfortable tracing traffic through both platforms, fine-tuning policies, fixing rule-base anomalies, and explaining the changes you make so my in-house team stays in the loop.

Here’s what I expect: • You review the current blank configuration, discuss my network layout, and translate that into interface zones, NAT (if required), and a concise set of access rules. • You advise on best-practice hardening for an EAGLE40—admin account lockdown, firmware verification, logging to our Syslog server, and fail-safe settings. • You loa...

    I run a PHP-based webhook on a Hostage VPS KVM8. During traffic spikes the endpoint suddenly answers with HTTP 429 instead of the expected 200, so the calling service retries and eventually fails. The code itself has no limiter, which makes me suspect a server-level restriction that I’m not yet aware of. Your task is to trace the component issuing the 429s and tune or disable the rule so the webhook survives peak loads. It could be an Nginx/Apache rate-limit, ModSecurity, fail2ban, iptables, or something similar—I’m open to whatever you find.
