Home Built Cybersecurity Lab - A Journey

8/8/2022 Day Two


Today I’m going to set up a WordPress site and give myself a little more freedom with formatting for my blog. I’m happy with the initial reach on LinkedIn but I’m not crazy about the style restraints.

I found a recommendation from a YouTuber I follow, NetworkChuck, and decided to keep with the shoestring budget theme going and use the free version of 000webhost.com?

Uh, what?

As you can see it's going great.

After a little digging and a few updates on the back end of my website and the WordPress dashboard I think I might have the problem solved. Last thing to try is a manual PHP (hypertext preprocessor) update in there also.

Hmmm… Still comes up as a dangerous site in Chrome. I might need to clear my cache.

Well, for now I’ll move on to setting up 2FA (2 factor authentication) at my login to prevent some script-kiddie from playing with my new site.

And that seems to be a problem also. I’m going to clear my cache and cookies to see if it makes a difference with the red window of doom and my inability to install a 2FA plugin.

Oh, what have I done…

Oh, please no...

Trying to get back to the WordPress dashboard now prompts me to INSTALL WORDPRESS!?

Time to get up, get a glass of water, and consult with my in-house WordPress expert, my Wife.

Don't give up!

OK, I’m all lined out with a plan of action to get a free Cloudflair account setup to get my SSL certificate and add the .htaccess file in my websites directory.?

I’ll have to check with Support and see if they can point me in the right direction. But first I’ll spend a few more minutes Googling it…

Well, there’s no support for the free account so I’m digging through the Community Support pages and trying to piece it together. Somehow I don’t think I’ll get this resolved today.

Who doesn't feel just a little bit better when new hardware gets delivered :)

But at least my components arrived! Not much accomplished but it’s still forward progress :)
