HELLO, I AM ALLWYN MASCARENHAS
Hello there,
I am a information security consultant in UAE.
I am originally from Mumbai, India.
Welcome to my site, I write about my work in infosec, create lab tutorials and well..etc.
I believe that if you are either feeling lost, a sense of meaningless in life or just not very excited, then weight lifting, reading and hardcore history are some strong anchors to rest your foundation on.

And I also upgraded the proxyasg BMC to the latest version 3.1.2.1 as well, following the steps here. So the BMC upgrade was done first and then the firmware. […]

Google forms would have worked for this use case as the only requirement is to capture […]
