good video

[frail lake]

because 1) there was no chance i had the command wrong and 2) one time i didn't redact everything and got a warning from the mods.

[knotty osprey]

im not well versed with AD, if I was I would help

[scenic maple]

fr?

[frail lake]

thanks thats very kind

[knotty osprey]

can I know what the issue is if you could explain it simply

just ldap not auth?

[frail lake]

yeah essentially

[knotty osprey]

and you know the credentials are correct right?

[frail lake]

which i've had countless people help me and nobody has found a fix and i suspect that i'm slowly starting to annoy this chat which would be fair lmao

[frail lake]

yeah thats for sure. the command is right, config files are all set correctly, no variation of the command works, reinstalling updating and allat stuff doesn't fix the issue

yeah im just hypercooked

[knotty osprey]

have you tried on non HTB machines

[frail lake]

not really, one dude said it's probably the resolver which now that i think abt it it probably is

[knotty osprey]

I would try on a non HTB machine and see if it works

then that tells you alot

[frail lake]

will do at some point appreciate the suggestion

[knotty osprey]

yeah good chance its a DNS issue

I think you can try by connecting via IP rather than domain

No subway surfers on htb

[still vault]

Why are you bullying me for not having a PC…

I’m only trying to learn..

[cedar shell]

Theoretically, yes, you could connect to a VM via RDP with your iPad and then use HTB, or you could use PwnBox.

[lilac cipher]

The experience isn't worth it

[still vault]

I’m sorry but that wasn’t English to me 😔

[hoary nebula]

lil bro

are u 12

[lilac cipher]

Better start on academy then

[still vault]

Yes I’m trying to use academy.

It won’t let me type in the Parrot OS terminal.

So I can’t even do the introduction.

[hoary nebula]

do u even have a keyboard

[still vault]

I have a digital one not a physical one.

[green kite]

iPad + Magic Keyboard + rdp = perfect

[still vault]

Why can’t it just let me type with the digital keyboard on any mobile device..?

[green kite]

I don’t know

[still vault]

Okay well thanks for trying to help at least. That’s more than others have.

The virtual keyboard also takes up a lot of space

[still vault]

It’s an issue where it doesn’t open the digital keyboard. it’s obviously not been made to be compatible with mobile devices which is honestly quite a major flaw.

[past latch]

oh

I strongly recommend against doing it on mobile

[scenic maple]

i amma finish the mern stack thing then i will probs switch

[past latch]

It isn’t a flaw

[silver forge]

oh it's really hard to develop bugs with golang. it just doesn't want to do that.

[past latch]

it wasn’t made for it

[still vault]

It’s either on mobile or I can’t do it at all.

[past latch]

don’t you have access to a computer? Internet cafe?

I’ve never seen an internet cafe in my whole life.

There's 669 internet cafes in London alone 🙂

@scenic maple

[past latch]

Have you tried using HTB at all on the laptop

[green kite]

You could try pwnbox on it

Then it’s just in your browser

[still vault]

I can’t exactly skip class and go to my local ICT class to hijack their computers to do unrelated work on a random website.

[past latch]

oh you’re in secondary

[still vault]

I would probably just not bother doing it whatsoever than use the laptop I hate using it.

[still vault]

Yes.

[still vault]

Haven’t used my laptop for probably over a year or two.

[past latch]

ask your ICT teacher honestly

[green kite]

Pwnbox is easy on your browser. I use it from time to time

We’ve got computers in pretty much every library shouldn’t be an issue which

[molten bobcat]

Yeh, was just commenting on the ways someone could have public internet access 🙂

[green kite]

School is overrated

[still vault]

Oxford is my choice but whether or not it’s an improvement I couldn’t really say.

[still vault]

Education is invaluable.

[green kite]

Maybe

[past latch]

I’d recommend all uk school kids to consider an apprenticeship

If it’s cyber

[hoary nebula]

isnt MIT number one school

[still vault]

I plan on taking A-Levels then moving to a degree-level apprenticeship in a cyber security position at a prestigious company.

[scenic maple]

so php has elephent python has snakes and go has gophers
but javascript doesnt have anything

[past latch]

Perfect

[scenic maple]

but javascript is the most used programming language in the world

[past latch]

Doesn’t have to be prestigious though

Avoid insurance and finance companies is my advice

For mental health

though some have cool cyber teams

[still vault]

It isn’t exactly prestigious but it’s a high-paying extremely-sort-for company.

[past latch]

Id gladly take a small firm that did specialised cyber research over Google

But that’s me

[still vault]

For me I only care about money.

[green kite]

if you're in it for the money, search another job

[still vault]

Why lol? If you’re wanting a job for any other reason then finances you’re not thinking correctly.

[past latch]

Unless you care about the money on a job level rather than a career level

[hoary nebula]

IT is good money except it support haha

[solemn lichen]

lmao

thats not how it works

otherwise we would have no teachers

[past latch]

Wrong

[silver forge]

no it is not. javascript developers just spew the largest amount of nonsense re-inventing the same wheel again. it's not even near being the most used language by projects. C is still #1, and probably will be #1 even when we all have retired.

[still vault]

If I did not get paid for a job I would never work a day in my life lol. If you’re not looking for money why are you looking to work?

[past latch]

I thrive on JS hate

I live for it

[hoary nebula]

python for life

there are people who actually develop software as a profession

[past latch]

You will not enjoy a 9/5 in a job that you don’t like I can guarantee that

then again you haven’t worked one

You’ll know when you do

[silver forge]

let's test this. you gibe me a million, and I will tell you whether I enjoy my being

[past latch]

I agree and don’t see an issue with that. what you said sounded like you’d take any job if it paid more

Within reason

Nah you guys need to set your priorities straight this is not okay 😭

[past latch]

Ironically this wraps back to my point of money
There are some boring ass jobs in cyber I wouldn’t do for anything less than 2x of what I’m getting paid now (GRC) but thats personal, other people have their own tolerance thresholds

[silver forge]

All I work with are powerpoints

[still vault]

I mean I guess I’ll have to invest in a PC to be able to use HTB. I suppose it’s a good idea since I’ll need to be able to use things like Linux if I want to secure an apprenticeship.

[silver forge]

Today I figured out what's the initial investment for the AI capabilities for a Servicenow setup in on-premises. Apparently the answer is about 500k euros.

[still vault]

I was going to buy a PS5 but I suppose this is the better choice. :/

[royal ferry]

Hello everyone

Anyone knows if HTB are going to have a booth in Blackhat MEA ?

[still vault]

That sounds very boring…

[past latch]

You’re already ahead of me man I didn’t start taking cyber seriously until maybe 2nd year sixth form

[silver forge]

Sometimes I go wild and use the forbidden form (a triangle!)

[still vault]

I’ve wanted to do cyber security since Year 9. I got a grade 9 in computer science on my mock GCSE paper.

[past latch]

Sounds rough

[still vault]

I’ve got a mark off 100% lol.

[past latch]

Good job

[silver forge]

You know there are people who use rectangles in presentations. That's understandable. Then there are people who use circles. These people will never use the other form. And THEN. There are the triangle people. Fuck those.

[past latch]

I found it cool but wasn’t realistically gunning for it

[still vault]

Thanks. I find the knowledge just sticks but GCSE computer science is not going to make me a penetration tester by any means.

[past latch]

When the text is so close to the edges but you’ve gotta put a triangle in anyway

[silver forge]

What I'm practicing now is using arrows in my presentations. They are still kind of subtle to hint continuity in the plans.

[still vault]

Please do not tell me you find entertainment in people using different shapes on their PowerPoints..

[silver forge]

Bruh, fuck the people who use triangles

[hoary nebula]

lets normalize giving meetings in nvim

no ppt

[flint copper]

let's normalize making a meeting an email

[still vault]

Triangles are amazing. Especially right-angled triangles. I love triangles. They’re good for all sorts of maths!

[hoary nebula]

true

[flint copper]

and let's stop having meetings about our emails

[silver forge]

Today in a meeting I seconded a proposal to include an item in the agenda.

[still vault]

People have meetings about emails?! How boring is work life??

[flint copper]

this is why our pay is crap

[past latch]

Yeah you’re right and it doesn’t get better at a level either
The most they taught in the domain was the TCP/IP model when I was doing it

[flint copper]

we pay people who do absolutely nothing

and budgets get stretched thin

[past latch]

HOWEVER

[molten bobcat]

I used to have a job like that

Now I'm an engineer and don't do anything but work

[still vault]

I guess I’m just going to be learning from scratch when I do the degree apprenticeship..

[past latch]

some theory stuff sticks and I use it at work or for development

[silver forge]

You're way more likely to exchange emails about a meeting than vice versa. HOWEVER the most moronic emails, the epic ones, sometimes get a meeting.

[molten bobcat]

Fundamentals are absolutely critical

[still vault]

Working sounds really sad.

[flint copper]

this is usually the case

[still vault]

I already had a mid life crisis as a teenager because I realised I have to work for the next 45 years.

[flint copper]

"erm new policy cybersecurity is rolling out" "meeting on this date at this time"

[silver forge]

My favorite email from the last week is "we installed a licensed software, now the vendor wants money for it". That one has got so far 3 meetings.

[flint copper]

45 minute meeting to discuss a less than 10 page document

[still vault]

Do the majority of people here work in IT-related fields?

[molten bobcat]

That's wonderful

[molten bobcat]

I wish I could get a job like that too

[still vault]

Have you ever had a major security breach?

[molten bobcat]

I like my job a lot because most problems can be solved with a strong sense of fundamentals and the ability to critically think

[molten bobcat]

Every other day yeah

My customers are global

[still vault]

Oh 😭

[silver forge]

The chances are high as long as you don't use triangles in your presentations.

[hoary nebula]

same

[still vault]

I’m going to make sure I add triangles in every presentation I make from now on.

Even if it’s just one coloured to the background in a corner.

It’ll be there.

[silver forge]

Yes but everyone will think you are a moron

[still vault]

I’ll hide them on every slide 👀

[past latch]

Do you do IR too

[silver forge]

But that Servicenow presentation, seriously. Just stating "500k euros" means I just now have justification to shut down on-premises operation. That's not bad, and definitely exciting.

[molten bobcat]

Yes

[past latch]

Rough

[molten bobcat]

Eh

[still vault]

Okay, I am going to go. Thanks for all the assistance, HTB community members and staff. I will take on board the advice in which has been shared with me today and use it to further my future progression to increase my chances of success in an ever-evolving cyber-globe. Have a good evening, everyone.

[molten bobcat]

I prefer on prem everything

i can't begin to tell you how bad these vendors are at handling cloud based shit

it's awful

[past latch]

Some of my work involves IR but not very frequently

[raven rain]

openshift

[flint copper]

maybe your case isn't the same, but our vendors suck

[past latch]

lengthy processes sometimes work in your favour

[silver forge]

Let's just say Servicenow has probably 0 competent software engineers globally in their whole organization, and I'm probably correct on that. Their setup will suck everywhere - on-premises or cloud. But, if it sucks and costs a fraction somewhere, ...

[past latch]

Pay me a million and I’m rewriting servicenow in Go

i'm glad we don't use that

[past latch]

The whole thing

the whole company

[flint copper]

and honestly i'm not too familiar with it, i've seen the ticketing system portion of it

😩

just because a job exists called "service now trainer"

if a ticketing system requires someone to provide specialized training, please don't bring it into my environment

though i know it does more than just that

[past latch]

Hopefully clankers can do the menial stuff for us

[flint copper]

we're rolling out AI features in our EHR systems now

[past latch]

[flint copper]

idk i'm not apart of the integration, i guess we'll hear the doctors opinions on it

[silver forge]

I'm glad within the EU most HR processes are legally classified as high risk use case and we will never be using AI for that stuff

[past latch]

It’ll be fine just feed the GPTs your life’s work

and everything about you

[worthy cargo]

ChatGapetto

[flint copper]

we have a lot of people asking to unblock chatgpt

there's supposed to be a meeting about it

[silver forge]

We discussed today buying chatgpt subscriptions to certain groups of people

[vivid flower]

@grok is this true?

[silver forge]

Mostly for the deep research feature

When you have that it's pointless to have for example Gartner subscription

[vivid flower]

Ai is coming for all of us...

[flint copper]

i'm gonna suggest we deploy on prem AI servers

(literally just so i can be the one to mess with them)

[silver forge]

We just green-lit the use of certain Azure AI services today

[lilac cipher]

@woeful cosmos

[flint copper]

we're supposed to be enabling copilot features in the next few months

i'm not sure what security team is doing, i think they're stalling it

[silver forge]

If they are competent they are discussing about the use of security labels.

[flint copper]

they rolled those out a few months ago

[silver forge]

Oh they are at least semi-competent

In that case they are finalizing the usage policy settings.

[flint copper]

competent? yeah man that's debatable

[silver forge]

Well, as in "at least reads the Microsoft's recommendations and tries to follow them"

[flint copper]

i feel like i'm talking to GRC people

[silver forge]

We made a Powerpoint about this

Mostly it has rectangles.

Soothing shades of blue

[flint copper]

these are engineers

and they act like they don't know what i'm talking about

[pure terrace]

hi, i have a quick question about reverse shells

[silver forge]

They do, theyare just messing with you

[pure terrace]

how do you guys do to get reverse shells? Do you all have a c2 server?

[solemn lichen]

c2 is one way, but there are more primitive ways like netcat. its quite an expansive area, i suggest you do some googling and come back with detailed questions :)

[pure terrace]

ok sure i'll come back

[limber arch]

For HTB I don’t use a c2

[pure terrace]

for HTB i use nc with the vpn it's fine

[limber arch]

In a real world environment or where evasion is needed than sure I would use a c2

Otherwise just nc

[pure terrace]

what i was asking is, if it's outside your network, then how can you reach the attacking machine from the target to send the reverse shell?

also thx for the answer

[inland basalt]

Do you know why I am not able to post on prolabs offshore?

[solemn lichen]

if the target is outside of your network?

[silver forge]

pivoting + tunneling

[pure terrace]

thx. I'm gonna do some research, i don't understand everything here

[hoary nebula]

anything?

[frail turtle]

Alright I just finished emailing the entire Candidate assessment center for the NYPD telling them why I am not crazy and that I can prove it. crossing my fingers that they reply back.

[pure terrace]

lmao wtf

[frail turtle]

It's apparently been noted on Reddit that the whole process is full of corruption.

[pure terrace]

that backstory has to be so good

[silver forge]

we need to document this in like those reality tv clips where people give their backdrop and then it cuts into others shit talking you

[frail turtle]

well it's not that good, i just failed my psych because a hateful shrink lady wanted to fail me over something I did 4 years ago.

[pure terrace]

did you already know the shrink?

[pure terrace]

definitely

make it a show

[frail turtle]

No, It really wasn't that big, I asked this woman at work for a hookup then got fired for it, and now I'm a villain.

But I'm not crazy for her to fail me, and that happened like 4 years ago in 2021

[pure terrace]

sorry i'm not english, by "a hookup" you mean going out with her?

[frail turtle]

no it means sleeping with her

[pure terrace]

oh okkk

why would she even get mad for this?

[frail turtle]

I even have a girlfriend, but I dont want the NYPD to know that

[pure terrace]

lmao that would be worse, you would have to face hell

[frail turtle]

She looked and sounded exactly like a feminist

[pure terrace]

crazy man

this type of "feminist" only appeared in my country a few months/a year back

this is madness

[frail turtle]

They sent me an email a week after I took the test but I didn't see it until months later that I failed the eval lol

[pure terrace]

this is insane that just for a hookup a woman can fail you on psych eval

i mean this could be way worse than you not getting the job

but still

[frail turtle]

and in it they said I had to go see a licensed shrink and write a statement to convince them I'm not crazy

[silver forge]

I'm glad I have all moomins in the valley

[frail turtle]

Many people have failed this "psych" test and appealed then passed

[pure terrace]

wow, so you mean to say that most people are crazy?

it's good to not feel so alone anymore

[frail turtle]

But it's okay if they dont give me another shot then I'll just go back to hacking.

Well you know a lot of police officers tend to be abusive

[pure terrace]

what were you doing this for?

[hoary nebula]

hallicon are yhou american

[frail turtle]

[pure terrace]

they don't have NYPD in ireland i think

How tf does APPEALING a psych test change the result

[hoary nebula]

[frail turtle]

Idk

[frail turtle]

new york

[silver forge]

What kind of Mickey Mouse test is that

[pure terrace]

that's cool

how old are you?

[frail turtle]

most of the cops they hire end up having a lot of anger issues and so on.

[hoary nebula]

335 years old

[frail turtle]

I'm 31

[hoary nebula]

dwarfs do live long

[pure terrace]

and you had a career before that?

[frail turtle]

I think the whole NYPD is just silly

career? I mean I wasn't working for like 4 years

[pure terrace]

oh

[frail turtle]

honestly the best years of me life

[pure terrace]

that's the hell of a long time

[frail turtle]

yeah I made a lot of money at my old job

[hoary nebula]

oh no

cop in ny?

gl to u

[frail turtle]

yeah yesterday there was a shooting pretty wild

[hoary nebula]

i would never work in that cement jungle

hehe

[frail turtle]

I actually want to make detective if I could

[scenic maple]

so i should learn c to make real software

[frail turtle]

it would be cool to be a hacker detective

[pure terrace]

did you already look at how long it will be and what it takes?

[hoary nebula]

learn c+++

[frail turtle]

nope

[pure terrace]

you mean they added a new one?

[frail turtle]

dude that sounds like a bigger headache

[pure terrace]

lmao that's my kind of anticipation

[scenic maple]

kinda want to do zig ngl

[hoary nebula]

no i ment c++

[frail turtle]

2 '+' s is a headache, but 3 '+'s that's a catastrophe

[hoary nebula]

typo

[frail turtle]

It's very hard to learn that language

[pure terrace]

no typo, full-on new language

[frail turtle]

especially with the lack of documentation

and constant changes

[scenic maple]

nope the docs are good

can vouch for that

[frail turtle]

i have no idea how the guy who made Ghostty made Ghostty

[scenic maple]

but agree on non mature language

maybe he is just a good programmer 😩

[hoary nebula]

ghostty is goated

[frail turtle]

Time to get ready for work

[hoary nebula]

yes american, time for work hehe

still learning how to type with a split keyboard

[pure terrace]

I was trying to read a bit of documentation about reverse shells but can't find some good/complete docs, where do you guys usually go for such docs?

[hoary nebula]

revshell

hold on

https://pentestmonkey.net/cheat-sheet/shells/reverse-shell-cheat-sheet

[pure terrace]

also i found some info, here was my question. Suppose i'm on a CTF and trying to get a reverse shell from a target machine but my machine is a on a different network, hidden behinf the NAT of my router. If i try to send the shell to my machine's IP, the router will be the one to get it, what can i do to send it to my machine directly?The options i saw are
-port forwarding (i dont have the hand on my router)
-using a VPS as a C2 server
-NAT traversal with ngrok/chisel (i will dig into this option as i don't exactly know how this would work
-use serveorev (definitely not a durable option but an option nonetheless).

Does my question make sense?

[pure terrace]

thank you, i was asking more about understanding how revshells work, not how to make one, but yeah this is a good one though

[loud crystal]

i dont understand the left exp bar, can someone explain me why its always at 0%?

[compact crypt]

guys, what to do if htb module doesn't want to eat my answer

[worthy cargo]

Ask in #modules

Specify the module and the question

[compact crypt]

thanks

[knotty osprey]

you have to complete active content

retired machines etc do not count towards rank progress

[loud crystal]

im doing for weeks only active machines 😄

did just a single retired

[knotty osprey]

hmm, the rank should go up in % if its active

[loud crystal]

yeah

here only active, might be a bug or smthing

[knotty osprey]

yeah that doesnt make any sense

idk how to help here sorry

[loud crystal]

np mate, just wanted to check if its normal 😄

[knotty osprey]

could be a new bug or because of the season switch

[loud crystal]

maybe a mod who knows read this

[visual meadow]

hi

guys

[loud crystal]

hey

[molten bobcat]

I can help with this

It won't progress progress towards pro hacker until you reach the hacker level of content solved

You're at 19% I think hacker rank is 20% or 25%

As machines retire, your total percentage will drop as those machines aren't worth points anymore

[loud crystal]

ohh okay, i was nearly a yr inactive

[molten bobcat]

That'll do it

[loud crystal]

so i may have completely reset

[molten bobcat]

Das prolly true

You won't lose your rank though 🙂

That's permanently the highest achieved

[loud crystal]

yeah, gonna work on my pro hacker rank 😄

[ornate wren]

do challenges also contribute to rank?

[loud crystal]

yes

[molten bobcat]

Yes they do

[loud crystal]

but very small percentage

[molten bobcat]

It's cuz there's a lot

[tiny canyon]

@knotty osprey im chudding out

[loud crystal]

yeah

[loud crystal]

cutiepie

just looks like our cat that ran away a few months ago

[knotty osprey]

[knotty osprey]

this makes more sense

I was confused on how you were doing active machines without % going up

hi guys

I am doing well how are you guys?

I just got back from boxing

[marble hearth]

lmao so npm developer got spear phished: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/hackers-hijack-npm-packages-with-2-billion-weekly-downloads-in-supply-chain-attack/

[hoary nebula]

rekt

[gaunt gale]

I am going to the market soon but afterwards I will be doing a good amount of HTB

[marble hearth]

wtf is [e-mail]??

[gaunt gale]

if I can get it, will a job as a junior network admin help me with hack the box if they train me in networking, linux, security, windows, other tools, etc?

and if so how much?

I know the answer is of course and someone at 2600 said network admins and sysadmins are generally hackers

but ya

which kind of makes sense to me

what do you guys think?

[hoary nebula]

network admins are not hackers

[gaunt gale]

not 100% of the time but a lot of the time

a large percentage of the time

[lilac cipher]

no ping very busy

[gaunt gale]

more often they are than in other non-cybersec professions according to the guy I talked to, or sysadmins generally are

the guy I talked to had years of experience at data center

I just want a second opinion on this

[zealous charm]

ok

[lilac cipher]

@zealous charm

[gaunt gale]

I'm asking because I may have a part time network admin job with on-the-job paid training involved

at a university near me

[lilac cipher]

@ 🇱 🇴 🇸 🇪 🇷

[molten bobcat]

Update 2fa credentials?

[gaunt gale]

not my university (I already graduated) a different one

[molten bobcat]

2FA is never a set of credentials wtf

That's the first factor!

[hoary nebula]

easy to fool an end user

[fierce vale]

hacking wasn't always a profession and the term originates from MIT model railway club

[hoary nebula]

hacking also means tinkering

[cloud osprey]

actually it originates from the noise my dog used to make in the middle of the night

[molten bobcat]

True

[lilac cipher]

Ill hack you into pieces

[hoary nebula]

HEY NOW

[molten bobcat]

All of them

Hello?

[hoary nebula]

anti cupido

[molten bobcat]

That doesn't matter.

Official or not, software can be vulnerable.

[fierce vale]

you're probably not going to learn "hacking" as it is applied in the infosec industry there but you can gain basic computing skills which can lay down the foundations for such things

[gaunt gale]

ya don't have job yet but I'm trying to get it

[cloud osprey]

i like to think im vulnerable, specially when the gf has had a few drinks

[molten bobcat]

But we have no clue how this would have occured on your host. The question you're asking is literally the purpose of my entire career.

There's a thousand ways to do this

[gaunt gale]

but if I can get that job, will I learn a lot of active directory, linux, windows, etc, enough to have a foundation to do hack the box academy more easily?

[molten bobcat]

Use Google

[hoary nebula]

bro keeps asking questions haha

[fierce vale]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-stare-catstare-cat-stare-sus-catglare-cat-glare-gif-14942558849944709546

[visual hollow]

Let me try command injections on you

[gaunt gale]

how much will the underlying foundational skills help me with hack the box academy if I am working with AD, windows, linux, networking, security, etc?

[hoary nebula]

pikachu

[gaunt gale]

like on a scale of 1-10

[hoary nebula]

11

[molten bobcat]

You should understand how files and devices work

[visual hollow]

https://tenor.com/view/pikachu-pika-gif-13469074065570030793

[gaunt gale]

I have CCNA and A+ and I did infosec foundations and I do understand that stuff but I think this job will help me understand it far better

[molten bobcat]

I unfortunately don't have the time to explain the mechanics of the NTFS file system and SSDs

[hoary nebula]

learning on the job is always better

[gaunt gale]

ok

[fierce vale]

most of those academy paths start with that, introduction to linux and python programming etc

[hoary nebula]

hell yeah python

i love coding

[lilac cipher]

No

[hoary nebula]

melon i will squeeze your melons @lilac cipher

[gaunt gale]

I know I completed infosec foundations, CCNA, and A+ but I think this job will get me a lot more experience with actually doing networking, windows, linux, etc.

so I'm thinking it might be a better fit

since I learn better hands on

[lilac cipher]

It do be like that

[gaunt gale]

so I'm wondering if the extra hands on training will help me with hack the box a lot

[lilac cipher]

Nobody gonna hold your hand

[hoary nebula]

yeah

just do ut

[molten bobcat]

It's a specialized field, understanding fundamentals is crucial

[hoary nebula]

it

[lilac cipher]

Also, any credentials stored on the host or used in web browser are likely compromised.

You need to reset all of them.

[vast mango]

Whats Rust

[eternal mango]

Iron that has oxidised

(a programming language)

Comparable to C/C++.. if they could fit in to their suits for the party

(Rust is also a low level language, like C/C++)

[queen dagger]

is that business with htb changing their subscription model still a thing?

[eternal mango]

Yes

Well, no, not our model per say to such an extent

But removing VIP, and prices being increased in line with inflation and cost increases

You can find all the information about it here https://www.hackthebox.com/blog/htb-labs-pricing-update-2025

those compromised npm packages were revoked pretty quickly

hasnt kept me from joking tho

[eternal mango]

wtf

All roles vanished for a bit

I couldn't post in here temporarily, it just kept sending me to modules

Same happened in other servers, all roles vanished temporarily

Web client is working again now

Oh, nope that's broken again

Loads of 404 errors on API routes

[rose onyx]

I just got a bunch of messages like my desktop went offline

[obsidian grove]

Discord is aware of the issue and apparently the situation worsened.

[eternal mango]

Indeedily doodily

House alarm is going off for now reason

Skynet has launched I guess, RIP

[obsidian grove]

here's a question, what attack would be able to take down a service like discord?

[lilac cipher]

npm i

[eternal mango]

👆

Best guess yeah.. there was a recent large supply chain attack targetting popular modules

Most likely Discord employed some mitigations / safeguards which broke shit

[obsidian grove]

wouldn't be surprised

[lilac cipher]

John wammy already with the vid out

[molten bobcat]

It's fine, you become proficient enough to put down the sword and gain a desire to own a farm and grow vegetables

It's not possible for someone to have remote access to a host with no internet

So rest assured a human isn't doing it

But this isn't what malware does either.

Why would it use the mouse?

And you have the network adapters disabled?

Is this a laptop

Or a desktop

Do you have an external mouse or just the track pad

Turn off the track pad and unplug/turn off any mouse

This is to troubleshoot whether or not you have a wonky mouse

If it stops moving around and doing stuff, turn them on one at a time and watch them

Not really

Just means we have to look elsewhere

Sounds good

[gaunt gale]

Is the AI red teamer path going to take until the end of the year to complete?

[alpine pumice]

I don't think they will tell you. If they put a date out there and something happens and they miss it people would get mad.

I'm not even sure if they're announcing new modules for it.

[gaunt gale]

Ya but its clearly not already complete or there’d be certification announced for it

Right?

Also will doing AI red teamer path teach how to program AI?

I know it will help python

[alpine pumice]

Not necessarily, there are paths that don't have certs already.

[gaunt gale]

Job role paths tho?

[alpine pumice]

I don't recall it saying anything about programming but you can see the overview of each module.

[gaunt gale]

Python skills are required for AI path

[rose onyx]

Even when a job role path has been made complete, they still take a while to announce a cert. That gives them time to clean up the path if need be.

[gaunt gale]

Its in requirements

[gaunt gale]

Ah I see

[alpine pumice]

Just like all the other path/cert questions you asked, the answer is the same. No one knows, if they did know they couldn't say, you'll just have to wait and see.

[gaunt gale]

Ok

[alpine pumice]

If i had to guess, I would guess a higher level blue cert is coming at some point, pure speculation on my part based on this image. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1232354387288920064/1405607923245383900/htb_paths.jpg?ex=68c06763&is=68bf15e3&hm=76d9208871ad8dc6a9939452d64c45afbe7d887de61e214b31b583089884fa6f&

No, associates

I've made a soc setup and now I'm trying to figure out how arkime stores packet capture data at work because its JavaScript API sucks

[violet dew]

I see. I wanna study bachelor of CS in Belgium next year.

[rose onyx]

oapi-codegen has some new changes that I want to see if it'll help me get more done. So expect more soon. I'm working on 2 other projects as well that I need to get done before I can go back to api stuffs.

[terse dirge]

Good luck

[violet dew]

Tho, I think I want aerospace engineering

Cuz cs is self learning

[terse dirge]

Nice

I've been writing the API in go cause it's fast

I already have my stack planned and everything already

Redis, Gin, and elasticsearch

[rose onyx]

Nice

[terse dirge]

Redis is just for caching and elasticsearch is the DB for arkime

[rose onyx]

I've been playing with the bloodhound api :3

[terse dirge]

Nice, you should write your own script that graphs active directory👀

What happened to the ceald that touched grass

[rose onyx]

I might, lots of things bh doesn't do, but it's a sane base for now

[terse dirge]

I haven't had the time or energy

[meager kernel]

Touching grass is overrated

[hasty breach]

What is grass

[rose onyx]

If you have to ask you can't afford it.

GubarzHound? 👀

[dusky jacinth]

That’s definitely outta left field

[stark knot]

Hey anyone knownanything about the sonatyp nexus repository manager having problems stopping a task?

Guys is it okay if I'm only interested in cybersec field and not in web dev and AI ML?
People in my college always gravitate towards those fields but idk much of web dev or AI (only what I've learned from HTB and THM)

[gaunt gale]

Can pro labs and academy get you good enough to do fortresses or endgames?

Like if you combine the two?

Is Synactiv the main fortress for web exploitation and how much will CWEE help with being able to do it?

Or CWEE + prolabs?

[dusky jacinth]

You can be into whatever you want. You’ll dip your toes into all sorts of tech knowledge, but you’ll find a niche within cyber sec since it’s so vast

Learning about things like AI/ML and web dev is important though since those are absolutely massive fields that you will definitely cross paths with in your career

Doesn’t mean you have to be an expert in it by any means. My personal recommendation is find what interests you and pursue that for the time being and gather knowledge as you go

[gaunt gale]

Is there enough material between pro labs and academy to be able to start doing different endgames and fortresses?

And what material needs to be filled in separately?

I know endgames and fortresses are the hardest material on htb

Can pro labs alone get you hacker rank?

And are the hardest pro labs anywhere near as hard as endgames or fortresses?

I am wondering if its possible to get from CWEE to synactive somehow

[dusky jacinth]

Whoa brother

Slow down

[alpine pumice]

There's a #careers-and-certs channel

[gaunt gale]

Ok I’ll ask there

[alpine pumice]

maybe search stuff too, someone may have asked before

[terse dirge]

Prolabs don't count towards rank

Neither do fortresses and endgames don't exist anymore

[gaunt gale]

Ok

[dusky jacinth]

What were endgames?

Just like harder prolabs?

[gaunt gale]

Why do fortresses and endgames no longer exist?

Was no one doing them?

Well ok

[green kite]

endgames became mini prolabs IIRC

[ornate ibex]

endgames are now mini-prolabs

and fortress exist

[gaunt gale]

Ok got it

[green kite]

fortresses need a minimum rank

[gaunt gale]

Isn’t synactive a fortress?

Ok

[green kite]

or am I mistaken 🤔

[ornate ibex]

need rank iirc

hacker

[vast mango]

What time is it right now at you

[green kite]

As you level up, you gain certain perks and features. For example, Fortresses unlock at Hacker.

Gotcha

[terse dirge]

Almost 11pm

[green kite]

sup ceald

[gaunt gale]

What about to do solar pro lab?

[terse dirge]

Cheeto jumped on my bed

[gaunt gale]

That’s just web exploitation right?

[terse dirge]

Not much, how about you?

[gaunt gale]

Does CWEE prepare you for solar?

[green kite]

Idk bro

I havent done it

[gaunt gale]

Ok

But you have done CWEE
