Happy Holiday Homelabs

The holidays are upon us, and thusly so is Cisco’s holiday shutdown.
During which, I am at home with some kids, my hobbies, and time.
I know that we will all be making minor changes to our homelabs during this shutdown, here are my current set of options:

• Recable Homelab Rack
• Try to cop more Tiny Lenovos on Ebay
• Create firewall rules to devestate my children
• Play with Packet Squirrel
• Install Hak5 C2 in my Droplet
• Play more Tryhackme, either Advent of Cyber or Jr Pentester Path

I have already discovered the lan IPs of my children and created a firewall rule in my T30 to shut down their internet between 11pm CST and 7am CST.
The steps to achieve this were as follows:

• Nmap scan my network with -O flag
• Paste list of possible Windows hosts into notepad
• Log into Unifi Controller, view Wifi Clients
• Cross reference the high Wifi data against the list of Windows hosts
• Take those two little buggers that are obviously the kids on youtube
• Log into Watchguard T30, create rule by custom schedule to block all traffic from ipv4{kidA,kidB} to any{external}
• Watchguard’s policy auto-order put this rule BELOW the http proxy allow rules. So I had to re-order it above the other http policies
• Confirm over an evening that the kids are complaining. Rule works.
  I kind of want to play with Watchguard’s Proxy Content Actions to see if I can block specific pages to annoy them, like highly targetted roblox and youtube pages. I could set those to schedules, too, and customize the proxy block page to something like “The FBI has detected that you have downloaded a virus” to see how they react.
  I have plenty of other holiday stuff to accomplish, and Cisco’s shutdown is only 2wks long, so we’ll see how far I get with this pet project.

Happy Holidays all, whether you identify as a holiday or not!
