I’m an IT Technician based in Milan, looking for a full-time role in systems or cybersecurity. My labs show the tools I use and how I approach an investigation.

Windows Security events, email headers and Postfix records, explored through the labs on this site.
Reports with the source evidence and a guide to repeat each lab.
Tools and topics I use in IT and in my personal labs.
I analysed an email impersonating Microsoft, checking its headers, reply address and links alongside domain reputation. I then ran a separate, harmless local simulation and used Postfix logs to confirm which of five test mailboxes received it.
I built a Windows lab in Hyper-V and compared successful logons with incorrect passwords and unknown users. Using Event Viewer, I examined events 4624 and 4625 and the status codes that explain each failure.
I configured an Ubuntu mail server for local delivery and sent a test email to five accounts. I followed its Message-ID through SMTP output, Postfix logs and Maildir copies to identify every recipient, including those missing from To and Cc.
