UPDATE: Solution detailed at the bottom, currently Rights Management can only be enabled by PowerShell because – well – Microsoft. I’ve adapted a quote often used for REGEX to summarise the problems of setting up Microsoft Information Protection within Microsoft 365: “So you have a problem you c ...
Spoiler alert: the problem for me was a recent update from Microsoft: KB5011497 I recently had one of those days when reconfiguring a domain controller I’d been playing with to start using it properly but part of the process was a domain name changed and after doing that, I had all sort of weird behavior and fail ...
After a recent reinstall of Windows 10 on my laptop, I suddently discovered that Photoshop would no longer load – it crashed at the point of “initializing html surfaces”, presenting no error – just disappearing. Initially I assumed the problem was with Photoshop because I had updated to the late ...

I’ve returned to HTB recently after a lack of ethical hacking and decided to dip my toe in the water with their “Starting Point” series of challenges. I thought I’d do a write up of Oopsie to cement the knowledge in my head and to provide a really simply walkthrough for newbies (as even the PDF ...
I use Trust.Zone when I want to VPN in to various other countries and wanted to add this functionality to my Fire TV Stick so that when I’m travelling, I can take it with me and still watch UK TV.
