Empire VS coolify

IAB stands for Initial Access Broker. these are hackers who gain initial access, mainly to companies and sell that access to third party groups such as ransomware groups. Powershell Empire is an open source post exploitation tool for windows and u can find it on github: https://github.com/EmpireProject/Empire.git

I evaluated this a while back. Cool idea but limited application in a corporate environment. But for personal use, why not?

Someone needs to open a document for the canary token to trigger. Even the smallest company with M365 gets MSIP (formerly Azure Information Protection), if you classify your docs right, only people who own or have been shared the document can decrypt it and even without a good classification, you get logs of any M365 document being opened, so why can't I just have a regular but public doc everywhere and monitor when it gets opened from external IPs, user agents,etc....

I struggled to show value for this. Honehashes are more interesting for me: https://github.com/EmpireProject/Empire/blob/master/data/mod...

I've installed Empire C2 on an Arch VM. I've installed it from the github https://github.com/EmpireProject/Empire but the API is not working as expected.

Is the new version. The original Empire one was discontinued Old: https://github.com/EmpireProject/Empire New: https://github.com/BC-SECURITY/Empire

PowerShell Empire is a post-exploitation framework written primarily in PowerShell. It is something to consider from a security perspective if remote PowerShell commands are enabled in the environment.

Been using coolify to host my blog + analytics + a couple personal projects for around 6 months.

Good for 1-click installs that “don’t need” a lot of maintenance, like Ghost, Plausible, etc.

Had some issues with spikes in CPU usage (similar case: https://github.com/coollabsio/coolify/issues/3226)

Does anyone have any experience with coolify? https://coolify.io/ I am considering switching the hosting of my online games to it.

Coolify is open-source, self-hosted, free barring server costs, or $10/month for their managed Cloud option. Works with tons of languages, Git (GitHub, GitLab, etc.), and auto-SSL. Deploy on VPS, Raspberry Pi, whatever—supports Docker Swarm, Kubernetes coming. 123,000+ instances, 12,000+ Discord users.

Didn't see Coolify [0] combined with Hetzner mentioned in the article!

Sometimes I ran into "502 Bad Gateway" and 200% CPU load after hitting "Deploy" - while I had other (PHP + MySQL) resources running on my Coolify instance. I asked the Coolify Developer on GitHub and he gave me multiple suggestions.

I have been running Django sites in production under heavy load for over 10 years at my day job. We started with a MySQL database backend but, after running into a few issues, switched to PostgreSQL which has been rock-solid. I tend to use the same stack for side projects. Especially because, initially, most of my projects were hosted on Heroku and they had stellar support for PostgreSQL. Now, having bounced from Heroku to Render to Fly.io to Digital Ocean (with CapRover) to Hetzner (with Coolify), I am re-evaluating my default choice of database.

With the advent of people moving away from serverless and pushing more towards self-hosted solutions around VPS from provided like Hetzner and using deployment tools like Coolify , I’ve been wanting to have a cool monitoring app which not only monitor uptime but also disk space, CPU pressure, memory pressure, networking and more and throw alerts when something looks outside of the allowable thresholds.

Getting started with Coolify is remarkably simple. The self-hosted version is ready on your server in under a minute and is always free with all functionalities included. Here's how to get started (always check coolify.io for the latest installation command):

However, it's worth noting that modern tooling has made most of these challenges quite manageable. For NextJS specifically, projects like OpenNext are trying to de-couple the tight integration of NextJS and Vercel and making true NextJS self-hosting possible on platforms like Cloudflare and Netlify. If you don't mind losing some NextJS features by running it as a standard Node.js app, you can leverage tools like Docker and open-source PaaS alternatives like Coolify and Dokploy to make the experience of setting up a production-grade VPS much easier than doing things yourself.

Today, let's talk about Coolify, a tool also available in the cloud but of which I want to introduce the self-hosted version: with a simple command, you can install it on your server and start leveraging its potential.
