by ogmini

Another month and I’ve been at the Zeltser Challenge for five months so far and still have not missed a post.

  • Multiple PRs to Kapefiles
    • Module for Windows Notepad
    • Targets for RDCMan, ChatGPT Desktop, Remote Desktop Manager

  • Completed WinFE training from Brett Shavers
  • Attended the online SANS Ransomware Summit 2025
