About me

 

 Hi, 

I am a network and security engineer, I am 31 years old and I work in Paris France.


It's been 8 years since I've started working in the field of networks and security engineering also I have been learning everything that is related to Information Technology since 2011.


This field is all that have done for the last 12 Years and I am still learning, discovering and loving it untill today.


Since I work alot on networking and security I have a good background in this field but I also searched and learned lots of other skills in all IT technologies like System engineering, Devops, some programming with PHP, HTML,CSS3, Python, C Sharp, YAML, JavaScript, Java,  and automation and I am still learning lots of amazing stuff.


I started as a network level 1 technician, I have done lots of support for users, than level 2 support and today I am a level 3 network and security engineer

Also I worked on two amazing missions in 2021 and 2022, as a Security Operating Center Analyst and a Firewall Auditor using Tufin Secure Track.


Technologies are amazing because with each day you learn a new technical skill.

If you are working in this field than you are lucky.


Recently I started to blog a little bit about cybersecurity because I love technologie talks and discussions. In my blog I am going to talk in both general and  in depth topics.

In depth topics will probably include sharing all the knowledge that I know in switchning, routing, firewall configurations, and lots of other cool stuff.


Also I will talk about general topics like in programming and developing applications because I appreciate these topics alot.


Most of my topics will be about essentially Cisco products and issues that I have faced in the past, configurations that we can do on a fortigate firewall or a palo alto firewall and that could help you in resolving lots of issues FAST!


Also I will write motivation articles and How to start learning for free articles because I believe that we can learn anything for free using the ressources that already exist on the internet and that we could find them absolutely for free lik youtube, google, the websites of firewalls like Palo Alto and Fortigate.


Lots of ressources out there.

These ressources I have discovered them over time because I am always searching for new methods to learn for free and to resolve complex technical problems.

I hope that this will be helpful


In networking I worked and still working on multiple vendor products like in switches for exemple I know Cisco, Hewlett Packard, Aruba, Huawei, Extreme networks, and Enterasys switches.

I also configured routers on Cisco and Huawei routers and layer 3 switches, I configured routing on Palo Alto, Checkpoint and Fortigate firewalls too.


In my current job I am working on an amazing mission that gave me the opportunity to work on SD WAN technology with Fortinet systems. I manage over 400 Fortigate through FortiManager and I analyse their logs using FortiAnalyser. 

Last year I worked a lot on Palo Alto Firewalls the thing that made me obsessed with that product and until today It's still the best firewall I have ever seen till now and I don't think that other products will become better than Palo Alto network firewalls and technologies.


I will talk about Palo Alto firewalls in my future blog articles because I love this firewall in particular compared with others.

I hope you enjoy the topics that I am sharing with you and if you find my blog interesting leave a comment and you can also subscribe in our newsletter in order to support me.

Thanks and see you soon

Network Access Control NAC | IT NETWORKS

Image
Network Access Control NAC It's something that controls access to the network. And at its simplest level, this is what NAC does.  But if that's all that it was, then it wouldn't be fundamentally different from a network authentication and authorization server. Traditional authentication to the network follows the IEEE 802.1X standard that provided an authentication method to devices wishing to join a Local Area Network (LAN) or wireless LAN. 802.1X Wireless/Wired Authentication The mechanism was a port-based network access control which used agents, the software running on client devices that provide credentials to the authenticator to control access to the network. Another means to control access to a public network such as one serving a coffee shop or in a hotel, is a captive portal. If you've ever connected to a network in an airport, hotel, or coffee shop, you might recall interacting with a web page, sometimes agreeing t

CISCO : Dynamic Multipoint Virtual Private Network (DMVPN) | ITNETWORKS

Image
1- Definition   DMVPN is a technology that's used in secure networks exchanging data between them without needing to redirect traffic through a  headquarter  server  or router . Dynamic Multipoint VPN ( DMVPN ) is a Cisco IOS Software solution for building reliable IPsec Virtual Private Networks (VPN). DMVPN basically is a centralized architecture that provides easier management and implementation for deployments that need very specific access controls, authorizations and restrictions for diverse branches, users, applications and partners. DMVPN + IPSEC 2- Benefits DMVPN provides the ability to create dynamic VPNs without configuring static tunnels between remote peers, including Internet Protocol (IP), IPSEC and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP peers).   DMVPN is designed  to make HUB-AND-SPOKE   topology  by statically configuring the hub IP address on the spokes, no other changes are needed  in the configuration ns of the hub to accept ne

Issues with CISCO WIRELESS Controller (And resolution) | IT NETWORKS

Image
On Cisco Wireless controller 5520, The Access POINTS try to join the Controller by bringing up a connection through the CAPWAP Tunnel, you can see these attempts through the AP log itself. The problem is that the DHCP server when trying to serve IP Addresses it shows the error BAD_ADDRESS in front of each IP assigned. So I Took a single access point, started debugging it, after that, I noticed that the CAPWAP connection was empty of errors BUT!! it was trying to resolve this name  CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER This resolution is made with DNS protocol, of course, I honestly wasn't so sure of what I was doing, so I added a new entry in my DNS server and it's corresponding IP was the Controller's after that magically all the Access Points where UP and showed UP on my controller. The controller I'm working with is the CISCO WIRELESS CONTROLLER 5520 Model:  AIR-CT5520-K9 Software Version:  8.3.150.0 Image of the controller Learn
