I install Vaultwarden (Bitwarden) on my Synology NAS

My goal

I have been using KeepassXC for months, it works perfectly, I had done a Retex on it. I set up my password manager on all my computers and smartphone

I have a problem with Keepass, which is sharing passwords. Some passwords are to be shared between me and my wife, this is not possible with Keepass. We use one database each because we have two authentication modes to open the database.

So I'm looking for a solution and Bitwarden offers it, we can create an "organization" that corresponds to the family and we can have passwords specific to each or shared passwords. Perfect, that’s what I’m looking for.

So I'm going to install Vaultwarden on my Synology NAS in a Container Manager docker. Configure a domain name for this, give it a certificate to exploit the https, choose a port other than 443 to secure a little more. Configure my router with port redirects and then configure Vaultwarden, allow it to send emails and secure use with Yubikey and Microsoft Athentificator (TOTP) … authentication. Read More

I want to raise awareness about the danger of unknown USB flash drives

My goal

In the context of training for IT users, it is crucial to raise their awareness of the risks associated with the use of unknown USB sticks.

Rubber Duckys are USB sticks used by hackers, but their cost is often prohibitive. I am therefore looking for a more economical solution to create this awareness tool.

In short, I want to find an affordable alternative to Rubber Ducky to make users aware of the risks associated with the use of unknown USB sticks, using a USB stick capable of simulating damage to a computer. Read More
