brave has been working a lot on blocking leaking identifiable information, but the display size, and timezone are hard to avoid. I disabled winevide because it would leak always everything

[scenic maple]

wait so

if brave is actually that good

why dont people use it

[silver forge]

brave has been the top dog for the last ~3 years

[scenic maple]

like most privacy friendly people i see just use hardened firefox

[frail turtle]

I really want to say propaganda! but I can't.

[scenic maple]

maybe i should give it a try again

[silver forge]

Firefox was an option, but then the foundation blew all their money, and now most of their competent developers have quit

they really blew the money, you can google for funny stories

[lilac cipher]

Fuck all browsers curl is the real top dog

[frail turtle]

terminal browser

all the way

who needs images

[silver forge]

I use curl almost every day since it's the #1 interface for an OpenSearch/ElasticSearch admin

[scenic maple]

bro is the curler

[silver forge]

all you have to do is to write json in vscode, and copy & paste the commands ❤️

Oh browsers leak the cpu core amount too 🙁 One in x browsers have this value: 4318.14

I have 13 cores

quite uncommon, which sucks

[silver forge]

why would a ewb site ever need to know how many cores I have

[scenic maple]

to mine crypto ofcourse why else

or to load 3d animations

plz somebody nerf vader this mf knows the windows internals bettern than microsoft somebody stop vader plz

[silver forge]

it's telling that system internals wasn't microsoft.. it probably annoyed the heck out of them, and then they bought the company

[neon ridge]

hehe true XD

[proud moth]

i knew it wasn't microsoft the moment i saw how useful those tools were

microsoft doesn't do anything useful or comfortable or clever in anyway, it's very easy to spot non-microsoft things

[silver forge]

and TINY. so TINY for the feature amount

[neon ridge]

yes if it works how its supposed to they obv didnt make it

[silver forge]

"you need an actually good tool for spying what a process does, with an UI? here, sorry it's whopping couple hundred kilobytes"

[proud moth]

how to tell if a software is made by microsoft

1. it doesn't work
2. if it works, it's useless, or works in useless circumstances
3. it's bloated, big, sluggish, requires 30+ libraries, or requires some shitty fucking NET bullshit
4. Has a GUI, if it doesn't have a GUI, it's probably trash
5. every color is a slightly annoying shade of blue or green
6. if it works and is not useless, then it's a fucking pain to use

[hoary nebula]

winblows

[scenic maple]

but what about css

[neon ridge]

not to mention you will always need drivers other than the latest ones ahha

[silver forge]

hmm can it be disabled, it's also a mistake

[scenic maple]

you need js for that

[proud moth]

also every command on windows fucking look like an english essay for christ's sake who invented this SHIT every variable declaration on that clown OS looks like this

$MyVariable = System.Automation.PSUtils.SystemNetUtils.UserCredentials.InternalsUtils.Packages.NetDotPackages.Administration.Registry.CredentialPromptGUI.Access.Input()

that's not cyber security

not everything is cybersec man

just do security and be broke like me

what would you recommend?

[hoary nebula]

boot.dev

[scenic maple]

• i have work life balance
• i can sleep
• my work is 90% time not stressful
• it pays
• dont have to deal with corporate drama

[hoary nebula]

beat that

[deft bay]

I wish I could find a software/web dev job

[scenic maple]

they would rather hire from poor regions

you are expensive

cause of where you live

its a cold world we live in

[frail turtle]

I looked at odin project and boot.dev they lack some things I want to learn about

[scenic maple]

whats it missing

[deft bay]

thanks for making me cri golam

[frail turtle]

ie typescript is missing in odin project.

[scenic maple]

boot.dev is backend focusing

[silver forge]

yes but you have to touch javascript

[hoary nebula]

https://tenor.com/view/good-morning-gif-10649325963438688745

[scenic maple]

its the cold world brother 🫂

[scenic maple]

its worth it

[deft bay]

javascript > python

[hoary nebula]

NOOOOOOOO

[deft bay]

in terms of efficiency

[silver forge]

no, the KPI is brainrot

[scenic maple]

i amma be really honest with you typescript is just vscode extensions imo
cause you can always use 'any'

and in a few years we will have types in js

its in proposals

[proud moth]

but you already get all of this in europe for free

[hoary nebula]

W EU

[stone edge]

it was level 1 xD

[scenic maple]

i live in a broke ass third world country

[hoary nebula]

How is Python the least efficient

[scenic maple]

no js is slower than python and ruby and php

ok maybe not php

but other 2 sure

[frail turtle]

@scenic maple dont worry golam I'm geeping my promise, oh and I'm gonna go through full stack open as well; you need to know JS,HTML, and CSS already though before starting it.

[deft bay]

slower != less energy efficient

[hoary nebula]

I will only use Python and Rust for the rest of my life

[scenic maple]

pick one thing and stick to it

one day you will be good so ai wont be able to replace you

then you make money

i mean you already do tho

[deft bay]

It'll replace a lot of jobs but most jobs will just heavily use AI

[frail turtle]

I wanna eventually build up to using Laravel...I think. but not sure yet. Not for me though, but for a job. For me I'm gonna replace python/go backends with nim

[scenic maple]

ai bubble gonna burst real soon

[deft bay]

how come

[scenic maple]

i bet before 2030

its just not as good as you think you see

[deft bay]

only argument I know is the training data

[scenic maple]

its cheaper to hire a indian developer then run an ai loose on a project

[deft bay]

which they're already trying to solve

[hoary nebula]

anyone else learning Rust?

[scenic maple]

and it cant do things in specific languages/tech like you cant use ai if you are using qwik or angular (js frameworks)

it will hand you a react component

take it or leave it

[deft bay]

I think like I said, it will fully replace some, but in most cases the developers will just AI as a tool

like Copilot on steroids

[scenic maple]

maybe if it actually becomes that good

from what i saw dont think so

[deft bay]

I'm also really concerned about UX/UI designers

and graphic designers in general

as my gf wants to be a UX designer

[scenic maple]

same thing happened with wordpress and static site generators and then templates

[hoary nebula]

Starlink

[devout sail]

Hmm starlink or some bs

[deft bay]

that means their product is 4 times more expensive than normal

[hoary nebula]

I love Albert Heijn

[scenic maple]

you know we all so funny but none of can afford houses by 35

[devout sail]

Let's go to China otherwise
I heard they got a lot of building empty

[green kite]

@subtle plover come live in my town like half of you guys who work in this area do

It’s across the border but a lot cheaper than nl

[scenic maple]

• you get to meet sparkling

and his dogs

[green kite]

Sure lol

I got a great coffee maker too

It can make you any drink you like

[hoary nebula]

noted

[scenic maple]

the dutch became real quite after i posted average nl house price

[green kite]

House prices here are still legit

[scenic maple]

when did you buy your house

[green kite]

2019

[scenic maple]

were u like 30 ish at that time

[green kite]

29

[scenic maple]

dang man insane stats

[green kite]

My wife was 25

[scenic maple]

yeah but she doesnt deal with php 😩

[green kite]

She’s a ICU nurse

Or she was at that time

[scenic maple]

thats arguably worse

[green kite]

She moved to an office hours department

[scenic maple]

[silver forge]

I'm gonna be straight with you... Your wife is made of stronger stuff than me. I would melt in ICU, unable to return to work after the first day.

[green kite]

How so?

[silver forge]

I can't watch people hurting

[scenic maple]

its a cold place

[green kite]

Ahhh I see

I used to work on an ambulance here

When I got bored of IT

[scenic maple]

was it better than IT

[green kite]

But I had to quit

[lilac cipher]

Stuivenberg does that to you

[scenic maple]

https://tenor.com/view/book-cat-lore-cat-reading-reading-gif-8424606799553805726

[green kite]

Yes, I couldn’t be kind to people anymore

[silver forge]

Ambulance is something I could never ever do either. I mean if no-one else will then I will do it. But as long as I don't have to, no way. It would break me mentally.

[green kite]

I told some people thy shouldn’t be fucking babies and walk to the ER

[scenic maple]

☠️

[green kite]

This was after the 3rd call in the middle of the night during a 24h shift for people who could see the ER from their window

For a fucking runny nose

“Couldn’t breathe”

[scenic maple]

valid crashout

[green kite]

Open your mouth

Solved

[scenic maple]

[green kite]

Decided to quit shortly after lol

[scenic maple]

i bet it worked well for you

now you can ignore the clients you dont like

[hoary nebula]

so you were like "I wanna do IT, but don't know what, maybe PHP?"

[green kite]

I quit php because I got bored and thought I wanted to help people

Then I went back to php. I also broke my wrist so I was forced to quit due to health

[scenic maple]

you can only help the people who help themselves

[green kite]

True

I also had some people call in the middle of the night due to them not wanting to waste their last 10 blood sugar level check strips

[scenic maple]

[green kite]

But I live in a small town now

Much better

[scenic maple]

peaceful life

[silver forge]

hmm. I have went to the ER for... not being able to breath due allergic reaction (the hospital was a blur, they moved me so fast for a while), losing balance (the whole world spinning) completely, and high fever that ordinary medicine didn't bring down. ok I'm still alive, but since I didn't know wtf is going on it was better to stay alive.

[alpine pumice]

Can't even get pavement for a driveway though

[deft bay]

I would love to buy a house in the mountains and just rock out making music all my life

[green kite]

My driveway is fine now

[scenic maple]

sometimes time is all it takes

[silver forge]

ever visit Saltzburg?

[deft bay]

nop

[silver forge]

it's just one of the prettiest places (mountains, castles and so on) in the whole world

shame the home prices START from 1 million euros

[deft bay]

I lived at Carcassonne for a while

almost a year

that was AMAZING

[silver forge]

when I see an ice peaked mountain, I just notice that I have been staring at it for 5 minutes drooling

people use the ski lifts in summer to get up with picnic stuff, eat food at the top, and then hike down in those insane views

and since the city is in valley, the mountains are in all directions

.... yea

[green kite]

Wow nice

This was our view earlier today

Not the right channel for this 🙂 maybe more for #red-team ?

[eager turret]

Guys any free PWN resources for a beginner .

Any recommendations?

[silver forge]

links are just printed on the PDF... if you want automatic, for example PDF can include javascript that gets run

[green kite]

For the pwn challenges?

[eager turret]

Both .
Tasks + learning

[thin peak]

[green kite]

Haven’t done any of them tbh

[maiden anvil]

I have too many cool ideas that I want to try

like an AI lab or a raspberry pi minicluster

but also have some hardware design ideas

like making a police scanner

but there's so many more 😭

[knotty jackal]

i have an opened ticket for student email validation since 17 weeks with no response, can anyone help me with that?

[green kite]

You can email support. There’s no official support here though

[e-mail]

[grizzled zephyr]

thanks

[errant flame]

I bought the vip+ why are the modules locked

[green kite]

VIP+ doesn’t include academy access

Different platforms/subscriptions

[errant flame]

I know I know but kinda expensive 2 subs or a sub and cubes

[frail turtle]

i keep falling asleep during my css course

[green kite]

Can’t help you there

[errant flame]

I guess if you work in the field its not

Do you get the cubes any other way

[green kite]

If you’re a student, there’s a student subscription

[errant flame]

I didnt buy any yet but i have some

[green kite]

Cubes can be earned via giveaways or via participation in the season on the labs platforms

When you start academy you get a small amount of cubes

Tier 0 modules will give you all spent cubes back

So they’re free basically

[errant flame]

Yeah I just completed a module and to continue the path i need 500 cubes so I'll have to figure that out somehow

[green kite]

Have a look. At the monthly subscriptions. Maybe one will cover most of it 🙂

Monthly gives you an amount of cubes that you can use

Modules bought with cubes are yours forever

[errant flame]

Will do that

Thanks

[green kite]

Which path are you persuing?

[maiden anvil]

the path of emptiness - miyamoto musashi

[errant flame]

I was doing android app pentesting right now

[sharp obsidian]

you can help in a module?

oops

thats not fortnite

nvm im old

[slim saffron]

hi guys, can i private dm someone cause i have questions for experienced pentesters

[terse dirge]

Why can't you ask your question here?

[mystic harbor]

@lilac cipher

[lilac cipher]

Brutal

[slim saffron]

well i just need someone experienced in general yk

[terse dirge]

Why?

[slim saffron]

cause i feel like only an experienced pentester would undertsnad what im trying to say

i could just say it here anyway

obviously learning everyhting as a pentester is impossible, so when people talk about pentesting, they coudl also mean that they could be a person specialized in one certain area? like web apps, hosts, or anything?

cause for a pentseting job, they expect you to be specialized in a field at least no?

[hoary nebula]

pentseting

[slim saffron]

yes

[terse dirge]

@slim saffron you're better off asking your question in #careers-and-certs you'll probably get trolled a bunch in #general if you ask here

[slim saffron]

ah okokkkk

Web & AD usually are basic areas which can land your first job. Overall i can say that you need basic knowledge at most areas (web, ad, binary exploitation, etc…) with expert knowledge in 1 or sometimes 2 areas to become good pentester

[thin peak]

Just learn everything about everything

[agile thunder]

MSSQL bounce back is literally an insane exploit

what in the hell is even going on and why bouncing back from a linked instance to yourself gives you Admin??

omg it's crazy

[carmine pecan]

https://tenor.com/view/muerto-gif-16250174877271582365

MSSQL links are already insanity on their own

Bounce back is just an extra on top of that

Guess this is what happens when you hire 10k engineers to do a project that would take 10

[proud moth]

bounce back with admin backdoor is now my favourite exploit, EVER

EXEC('EXEC(''EXEC sp_addsrvrolemember ''''hacker'''', ''''sysadmin'''''') AT [[CURRENT_INSTANCE]]') AT [[LINKED_INSTANCE]]

[carmine pecan]

Yeah it's cool

but there's loads of cooler exploits out there

[raven rain]

you're lying

[carmine pecan]

https://tenor.com/view/yeti-cooler-gif-4090034298845717441

name one cooler exploit i'll wait

[carmine pecan]

The cooler in question

House of orange?

[proud moth]

and you cannot name cross session COM relay

ah shit bro is putting on the table the pwn dark arts

can't argue with that, you won

pwn exploits are just dark magic at this point

It's worse than heap

It exploits how Linux understands/sees files

[proud moth]

holy hell...

[carmine pecan]

[proud moth]

you go lower than that you gonna exploit what? transistors?

CVE-2025-57283 - A zero day was found in the laws of quantum mechanics allowing privilege escalation on Linux Debian 6.12.38+

Things like RowHammer attack are cooler than pwn

[frail turtle]

Im debating if i should marry a columbian woman because their meats are always unseasoned.

[carmine pecan]

That's a wild statement

[frail turtle]

Like how can you cook meat but not season it

Now i appreciate raw meat clean and cut but....like cooked meat in need seasoning.

[carmine pecan]

Wait

[frail turtle]

Now a jamaican woman will season it for sure put cajun and all and make hallicon a happy boyo

[carmine pecan]

Raw meat?

[frail turtle]

Yeah occasionally i like eating raw meat.

[carmine pecan]

https://tenor.com/view/raw-gif-798993911785685941

Not chicken though but mostly fish and red meats.

No i dont like sushi just raw fish and steak

[frail turtle]

man that is so cool

[terse dirge]

Do you freeze your fish and meat before eating it?

(freezing it for a certain amount of time makes it less dangerous to eat raw)

[frail turtle]

Yeah

Raw meat is only dangerous to poor gut health imo

I dont recommend it for people though my risk is calculated.

[carmine pecan]

Said the werewolf

[sharp obsidian]

with meterpreter why im not able to run shell cammand when i get the shell it says

Meterpreter 4)(unknown) > shell
[-] The "shell" command requires the "stdapi" extension to be loaded (run: `load stdapi`

[frail turtle]

Did you try doing what it says and load the stdapi

[sharp obsidian]

yes

[frail turtle]

It's an extension and kind of odd that its not loaded by default.

[sharp obsidian]

i tried and wasted 2 hours and then i just copy pasted the flag from internet now it stuck there again

[frail turtle]

If i wasted more than 2 hours i would just re download the virtual machine or reinstall the iso

[sharp obsidian]

its 8 gb of file i dont wanna download it again

[thick forge]

[sharp obsidian]

any idea whats the problem?

[sharp obsidian]

@frail turtle

[frail turtle]

Nope.

[sharp obsidian]

okay

[next pumice]

help me guy

what am i supposed to do after verification iwith that bot

and how to use this discord

[agile thunder]

your using it right now :D

[next pumice]

i used that identify

how to send a photo here

[agile thunder]

get Hacker rank or pay money(this server identifies as pay to win)

[sharp obsidian]

fixed it i uninstalled the metasploit and instlled again and it worked

[sharp obsidian]

how to make it a good shell after running shell cammand

[agile thunder]

python -c 'import pty; pty.spawn("/bin/bash")'

[next pumice]

i still do not get it, like do i have to pay to use discord here

[agile thunder]

or you can use a listener like penelope which'll upgrade the shell for you

[agile thunder]

no you dont

your talking on it right now

lol

[dire anvil]

New users hehe

[agile thunder]

@next pumice if you want to send images/gif get hacker rank by hacking boxes on htb

[agile thunder]

fr xd

oo he's typing an essay

[next pumice]

oh i get it i have to rank up on HTB to rank hacker . I am new on HTB. and the interface is kinda tricky for me

[agile thunder]

ok

thats cool

[next pumice]

can any of you help me, like how to learn and use it

what to do

[agile thunder]

Ok so

do you know how to connect to the vpn?

[next pumice]

yes i do

[agile thunder]

ok so as a begginer

i would reccomend you go to the machines section

choose a machine that has the work insane under it, its short for insanely easy

press on it

then press start machine

and you'll get an ip address

from that point your free to hack :D

[next pumice]

they all show easy tho

[worldly moss]

easy's the one you want as a beginner

steady as she goes

[agile thunder]

stop foiling my plans :<

[next pumice]

dude you are about to make me work on very hard machine

[next pumice]

thanks

[agile thunder]

gotta throw yourself into the deep end fr

[worldly moss]

i just lurk here while I'm going through academy

[next pumice]

it shows 6 machines in active machine

[worldly moss]

and google all answers

[agile thunder]

obviously the most elite way to study

[worldly moss]

i figure if I make a career out of this, google is my friend

google and chatgpt

i'll just use chatgpt for instructions on hacking

[agile thunder]

they upgraded the hacking defenses on chatgpt

saying "Yes i have permission" dont work anymore :<

[worldly moss]

oh that's sadface

what am I gonna do now, my plans for world domination are ruined

[agile thunder]

fr

[next pumice]

i am going to do codeparttwo easy active machine now. but why arent there any guides

[worldly moss]

if you do retired boxes you can find walkthroughs on the internet

some of them are quite good for learning from

[agile thunder]

because you dont get guides when hacking actual infrastructure, you can start on starting point if you want ones with guides

[next pumice]

whats the best way of learning

[worldly moss]

lots of energy drinks, and stuff I can't mention here

[next pumice]

ohk should i go to staring point ?

[agile thunder]

mix of academy + labs + other stuff + ADHD

[worldly moss]

becuase it's PG13

[next pumice]

my goal is to learn

[agile thunder]

yeah if you havent done it yet you should start at starting point 😭

i feel like thats common sense

[next pumice]

i have basic knowleadge of all the tools and services and ports

[agile thunder]

still do starting point

[worldly moss]

that's better than where I started, I did a dumb multichoice comptia cert

[next pumice]

got it sir, i'll text back once i am done or if i am stuck somewhere

[worldly moss]

lots of knowledge, no skill

[frail turtle]

No you do the insane rated machines first

Those are the easiest.

Then you move down to easy

[granite vault]

how do i become pro hacker

[worldly moss]

talk to a recruiter and they'll tell you that CEH is the "golden ticket"

[granite vault]

nah Security+ is the way

[worldly moss]

just get A+ and you'll download the knowledge in your sleep

[granite vault]

oh ok

how do i learn osint?

[worldly moss]

oh man, google is your friend

[granite vault]

google?

[worldly moss]

if it's not on google, it doesn't exist

[granite vault]

oh ok

I tried searching 8913hhf81agdaujafauiwqakasfhfuqi18311.onion on google and it doesn't go to the website

[lavish hull]

By doing crypto

[granite vault]

I bought eth

I hope it's safe from north koreans

[worldly moss]

oh you're trying to go to the dark corners of the internet

i hear it's not safe there

and that the NSA will do a mean as penetration test on your computer

[granite vault]

penetration test? damm my computer can't handle that

[worldly moss]

yeah they use the techniques on the R18 websites

[lavish hull]

Are you using the latest red star OS update to be secured?

[granite vault]

yep I am using red star kim suki edition

it has latest GUI update

[lavish hull]

Just got an idea for a new distro

[granite vault]

they added new XZ utils thanks to Jia Tan!

[granite vault]

R18 websites?

[lavish hull]

uwuKim OS. With the great leader photoshopped into a cat girl and various icons.

[granite vault]

We need Hannah Kim Linux

[granite vault]

i heard they sell very shady stuffs like backdoors and 0days

so i wanted to buy using paypal

[lavish hull]

Naah. A mix of nyarch and great leader is better tbh

Way more cursed

they sell all sorts of things that aren't good for humanity, i would stay away

it changed my server nickname to my gov name

[stone edge]

probabbly what you had it as on htb idk

[turbid goblet]

yeah but thats pretty silly

[stone edge]

i remember growing up learning never put real name out on internet

[turbid goblet]

[stone edge]

sup

[turbid goblet]

well i want the certs to be under my real name when i get em

[terse dirge]

French bread

[stone edge]

that is a true thought, would they ask for our real names for that?

[stone edge]

u ever try sourdough? i never used french bread

[carmine pecan]

Relax

When you get a cert

[muted olive]

You can do that

[carmine pecan]

you can put your real name there

You don't need to change it in your HTB profile

[terse dirge]

Your server name is the same username on HTB

[turbid goblet]

word

[carmine pecan]

You can write your name in the MOMENT of cert completion

time to get my hands dirty here since i did thm for a year

how rough will it be for me

[stone edge]

you doing a path or boxes?

[turbid goblet]

prolly both

[stone edge]

right on

idk tbh but im learning a lot on the course side

[turbid goblet]

ill prolly just skim through it as thm likely taught me most of that

assuming its basic

[stone edge]

depends

did you choose a path?

or doing individual modules

[turbid goblet]

penetration testing something

[stone edge]

cool

cpts

[turbid goblet]

actually idek its confusing theres like 3 portals i gotta get used to that lmao

[stone edge]

anyone think working as tech support at a college is good job? or strenuous

[stone edge]

wdym 3 portals

[turbid goblet]

academy, labs and ctfs

it makes sense i clicked around enough

[carmine pecan]

I mean...

In order of usefulness, and how time

you will spend more time in Academy, then Labs, then CTFs respectively

atleast as a beginner

[turbid goblet]

yeah makes sense

[carmine pecan]

As you get better you may shift to spend all the time in Labs only

So no need to worry about the extra tabs too much

[turbid goblet]

im gonna be used to thm hand holding

[carmine pecan]

yeah lol

THM did us dirty

[turbid goblet]

thm def doesnt seem to be competitve at all

and its learning kinda feel babying

i mean i needed that babying for my first year of studying pentesting but i think i grown enough for the adult stuff 🙂

Wdym

[stone edge]

they require a bachelors degree

so im fucked there

[turbid goblet]

from context sounds like their are in a hiring surge
