New Domain Name Is Live

Earlier, I was using the default Blogspot subdomain for my blog.
Recently, I came to know that the GitHub Student Developer Pack offers free domain names to students for a limited period through its partners.

So I decided to take advantage of it.

I applied for the GitHub Student Developer Pack using my university ID, and within about 72 hours my application was approved. After that, I explored the available domain providers and chose Name.com.

I searched for the domain:

cyberwithpriyanshu.live

and successfully claimed it for free.

This was not my first choice — I originally wanted a .tech domain — but for now, this works perfectly and gives my blog a more professional identity than the default Blogspot URL.

Now my blog is accessible through a custom domain, which is a big step forward for branding and long-term growth.

Why This Matters

  • A custom domain looks more professional

  • It is easier to share and remember

  • It helps in building a consistent personal brand

  • It can be used later for a portfolio, research, and workshops

For Students

If you’re a student, you can also apply for the GitHub Student Developer Pack and get similar benefits, including a free domain (for a limited time).

It’s definitely worth checking out.

More technical content coming soon. 🔐

Obfuscation and Deobfuscation

I was on Hack The Box Academy, happily reading along when the first word of the module popped up: understanding . Good. Next word: code . Still good. Then the third word appeared: deobfuscation . And I just stared at it like, “How many alphabets did they use to make this word?” I tried pronouncing it five or six times. For a moment, I genuinely believed Shashi Tharoor writes simpler words 😂. Eventually, yes, I managed to say it without hurting my tongue. Anyway, let’s move to the topic. Obfuscation  As the name suggest , it is process of converting simple things ( notes , words , sentences ) into complex form 😂.  More precisely , it is the process of taking a simple , clear sentence and writing it in a complex cipher, using synonyms from a dead language, and adding alot of irrelevant words. The meaning remains preserved, but it is extremely hard to understand ( same as the name of topic obfuscation) .  Defuscation It is simply opposite of obfuscation. It is the proc...

Even though we all know that theoretical knowledge alone is not enough, most of my learning so far has been on the theory side. From now on, I’ll try to balance both theory and practical understanding — slowly and responsibly. That brings us to today’s topic: OSINT . What is OSINT? OSINT stands for Open Source Intelligence . As the name suggests, it is about gathering information from publicly available sources such as: the internet social media news articles public records OSINT has nothing to do with hacking . It focuses on collecting and analyzing information that is already exposed — often unintentionally. Why OSINT matters in cybersecurity OSINT helps us understand the human attack surface , which is often the weakest link in sec...

Cybersecurity Devices and Technologies Part 1

There is no single device or technology that can solve all the security needs of an organization on its own. A secure network is built by choosing the right tools for the right purpose. This blog covers some of the basic devices and technologies used in the field of network security. Security Appliances Security appliances can be physical devices like routers, or software tools running on those devices. They generally fall into six categories: Routers : Routers primarily connect different network segments, but they also offer basic traffic-filtering features. This helps decide which devices can connect and which networks they’re allowed to communicate with. Firewalls : Firewalls are the guardians of a network. They inspect traffic more deeply and can detect suspicious or harmful behaviour. Firewalls enforce security policies on every packet that passes through them. Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) : An IPS uses traffic signatures to detect and block malicious activities i...
