Some notes about how to write a Frida script with the (somewhat classic) example of disabling certificate verification for TLS communications on Android applications.
This post describes different software components involved in host name resolutions and DNS configuration on GNU/Linux systems. It consists of a diagram and some accompanying explanations. The goal is to give some pointers and references to understand how to troubleshoot host name/DNS resolution problems and configuration problems on GNU/Linux systems.
Some guidance about configuring/fixing domain name resolution with a corporate Virtual Private Network (VPN), especially OpenVPN and with systemd-based Linux systems. This configuration uses the internal/private corporate resolvers for resolving internal/private domain names while using the ISP resolver for general domain names. This might help if your VPN is struggling these days because of the COVID-19 threat 😷.
