i wonder if some guy named eugene came up with eugenics, or maybe it was somebody that really hated eugene

[glacial crane]

We kill and eat animals because we think they are less intelligent or what is the reason?

Eugenics is literally categorizing other humans as lesser due to arbitrary conditions and pushing for "genetic purges" due to those conditions

No. Everything eats something else. Even carnivorous plants exist.

[glacial crane]

goblin what is your favorite object-oriented language?

[worthy cargo]

You didn't ask me, but I like PHP 😄

You can choose oop or not.

Python as well.

but I'm not that great in python

[turbid goblet]

how do i open a terminal

[worthy cargo]

where? which distro or OS are you on?

[turbid goblet]

im trolling

[dusky jacinth]

Look at what you started

[glacial crane]

python is object oriented?

[worthy cargo]

it can be

[dusky jacinth]

Yes

[worthy cargo]

sure

[torn cedar]

OOP

[dusky jacinth]

Harvard has a free course on it

Take it

[worthy cargo]

Kali or Parrot ? In general pentesting use. What is your favorite?

[glacial crane]

kali

[worthy cargo]

Me too

I already got kali setup and customized in a VM

[glacial crane]

i used to use kali but after 2 years with fedora i customise it and i work from here

[worthy cargo]

Starting over with parrot is like time consuming. Though is a more stable distro

Word

[glacial crane]

but sometimes i use a vm with kali but is common it to broke

[worthy cargo]

Kali hasn't broken for me once yet

I even updated it after 6 months and went smoothly

[glacial crane]

what vm manager are you using?

[worthy cargo]

xfce or whatever it comes with

[glacial crane]

i mean virtualbox or what

[worthy cargo]

Yes

VBox

It's free, its' in the repos, so I just apt get install virtualbox and that's it.

[hollow sage]

Hi, I'm new here, and new to programming in general (not even in this major), and I hope this doesn't go against server rules: is there a way to open restricted files on moodle (that the owner of the course "hid" away from students). I tried using python and the beautifulsoup4 pim but it didn't extrapolate anything even though I tried multiple times

[worthy cargo]

I been distro hopping since 1997.

In 2000 someone gave me a copy of Debian

[glacial crane]

thats ilegal we dont do that stuff here

[worthy cargo]

in 2016 I switched to Ubuntu

so I been on Ubuntu for almost 10 years

Before that I was on debian, before caldera, redhat, suse, knoppix etc. etc.

Morhpix was my first linux install on HD

Morphix was a knoppix derivative

[glacial crane]

im married with fedora i tried ubuntu, debian and mint once but i just prefer fedora

[hollow sage]

Sorry then, I just wanted to see for myself, I guess

[worthy cargo]

nod

[hollow sage]

Thx anayways

[worthy cargo]

I think Linus also uses Fedora

[carmine pecan]

Married

[hollow sage]

And somebody else just told me it wasn't possible anyways

[carmine pecan]

there's always a way

if it's worth it though...

[glacial crane]

I would say that Moodle is even more used than Classroom. I don't think it's possible at this point.

[hollow sage]

I don't know, I think if I used my own info to log in and then access the files that I want, the course owner would be able to see in the access logs so I would be busted anyways

[glacial crane]

it sounds bad? im not native speaker

[worthy cargo]

That's okay

[carmine pecan]

It sounds ok

[hollow sage]

If I managed to get though the restriction, that is

[carmine pecan]

Hey

Good night

[glacial crane]

If you can hack Moodle, maybe you can also hack the Pentagon.

[hollow sage]

i'm a med student so that goes against the hippocratic oath, i think 😅

[carmine pecan]

Does it?

[hollow sage]

they're nowhere near the same

but, moodle is very well protected, i have to admit

i just though somebody here would know more about it

[carmine pecan]

oh I see

[...]

Into whatsoever houses I enter, I will enter to help the sick, and I will abstain from all intentional wrong-doing and harm, especially from abusing the bodies of man or woman, bond or free.

[...]

yeah... it breaks the hippocractic oath

[hollow sage]

...but, it doesn't say anything against abusing moodle 😅

[carmine pecan]

Oh we have a Formula 1 moment here

if it isn't explicitly prohibited then it's allowed

[eternal mango]

Sorry was on a call. Favourite object-oriented language, personally due to a very good experience in my previous role, I'd probably have to say nodejs. PHP is something I've worked with for decades, and is a perfectly good language, and one of my favourites for certain purposes, but I just found nodejs much easier to work with when I was in a full stack position; mixing frontend and backend. That being said.. understanding the intricacies of its runtime loop and those little hacks (that may well no longer be a thing, as this was like.. 7-8 years ago), along with at the time strange inter-process communication and control did make it a PAIN for some tasks

But... Java also, I have had a great time with due to its introspection / reflection qualities, as with Python too.

C# I enjoyed working with for some basic malware r&d over a decade ago, but nothing too serious. Was a very smooth development experience

(disclaimer, that was research just for fun and learning, never aimed to deploy or distribute.. the only person that was hurt from that r&d was myself when I mistakenly triggered it on my host, and found out months later why my PC was running so slowly.. it was sneaky, hid itself well.. and apparently generated many Pi coins.. in a wallet that I no longer have access to lol)

Maybe I should see if any of my old drives actually still work.. but I reckon that wallet is loooong lost

ehhhh

I wouldn't say garbage

It has its uses for sure

It's like when you mention PHP, most people go ewwwww

There are things I have done in Java that I would not have been as easily be able to do in other languages

[worthy cargo]

Java is verbose as fuckballs

[carmine pecan]

https://tenor.com/view/rastasm-smeddy-eddysm-smphp-phpsm-gif-882873307833359312

[glacial crane]

The more languages ​​I learn, the more tangled I get. I feel like it's pointless to learn one in a concentrated manner and then switch to another. I'll surely forget the one I stop using. I think that's the biggest advantage of Nodejs.

[eternal mango]

Learn patterns

[worthy cargo]

I never liked js

just never did. I know some coding in js. but not it's not mything

[eternal mango]

Once you have a solid ability to compartmentalise and follow general patterns, moving from one language to another is very easy

Unless it's Ruby on Rails

It can do one

[worthy cargo]

Read Patterns of Enterprise Architecture design

great book

he invented a lot of the ooop patterns too

[carmine pecan]

Why read when you can do this:

[eternal mango]

Kali is vetted better, i've been in networks where you can only use vetted tools

Oh I see

[hollow sage]

thanks for your help guys, i'll be taking my leave from the server now. good luck 👋

[blazing bloom]

Is this a common thing to join and leave?

[eternal mango]

What are your thoughts on their continued usage of bleeding edge repos, seeing the kerfuffle it caused a while ago with that backdoor in ssh through supply chain?

I personally am not sure why they still hit up bleeding edge after that.. but maybe there are other processes on their bleeding edge repos I do not know of after that incident

[frail turtle]

Oh my god the appeal to become a cop is going to take 6 Months holy

omg

[carmine pecan]

uh

[eternal mango]

Not shitting on Kali btw, it is a saerious quesiton I've had on my mind for a while

[carmine pecan]

Try cybersec

[blazing bloom]

It's nothing new, and they have their own repos, and can only do so much

[eternal mango]

Do you have a serious answer?

[blazing bloom]

Software BOM can help, but there is no magic bullet

[eternal mango]

My point is, it only happened because of bleeding edge, and they still continue to follow bleeding edge

[blazing bloom]

Yeah, it could happen in not bleeding edge

[eternal mango]

I just find it odd, and sure.. supply chain attacks will always be a thing

[blazing bloom]

I'm sure , sure it's happening elsewhere

Probably in Kali and Parrot and Ubunutu

[eternal mango]

Obviously it can

[blazing bloom]

So, what's the issue then

[eternal mango]

I was asking your opinion on it, there is no issue

[blazing bloom]

ah, in that case, i don't think it matters that much 😄

[eternal mango]

huh

Ok, nevermind then

Great chat

[blazing bloom]

I thought so.

[eternal mango]

I was hoping for a serious conversation on the subject.. my bad for bringing up a serious topic in general

[blazing bloom]

What part of my answer isn't serious enough for you?

Why are you reading into my words and tone, take it on the face.

I don't think bleeding repos vs stable matters that much

I think the risks are pretty much the same

[eternal mango]

Fair enough.. maybe I thought the subject was more interesting that it really is 😅

I'm not reading into your words, text chat is a limiting mf

All is good

[balmy basalt]

I can totally see limiting bleeding edge stuff. Actually software libraries probably scare me more at this particular moment though.

[eternal mango]

Not really about Kali, but more about the use of bleeding edge vs stable

[blissful parrot]

i like parrot.. but i like kali more

[eternal mango]

But Kali was the example

[blazing bloom]

I mean, we can dive into how useful source code review is.... (not very). Between the Underhanded C competition and sneaking in little bits of code here and there. It's a complete mess. One of my PhD students is doing source code review and backdoored code getting by reviewers. SHould be publishing within the next eyar

(https://www.underhanded-c.org/) I miss this 🙁

[eternal mango]

The whole ssh / xz thing was impressive tbh, such a long lead up, only to be caught at the finishing line completely by accident due to someone noticing a slight delay in authentication 😅

I suppose what kicked off the thought in my head was the idea of vetting, while following bleeding edge

[vivid flower]

We will only see more of that as time goes on

[eternal mango]

Yup

See all the very recent npm supply chain attacks

[vivid flower]

Especially with ai dependency hallucination

[blazing bloom]

SlopSquatting FTW!

I mean, solar winds wasn't enough to wake people up

We are sleepwalking into full on stupidity

[balmy basalt]

Huh. Didn't know about that one. Could be interesting to reboot at some point.

[eternal mango]

A constant alarm clock is required.. or maybe two, or three

[vivid flower]

Its not like many people really have that much understanding of things like that

[blazing bloom]

Please please please

[eternal mango]

..and even then, a good hard slap may need to be added on top

[vivid flower]

Or control over what happens

[blazing bloom]

Yeah, gotta smash the wallet a few more times

[frail turtle]

I dont have a choice I always get picked for bleeding edge

[carmine pecan]

Is bleedging edge a euphemism for menstruation and it's role in renewal of the uterus linings?

?

It may be

[frail turtle]

but in production stable vs bleeding edge, I'd pick stable for applications involving art, and bleeding edge for network connected apps

[eternal mango]

Anyway, sorry if I came across confrontational, I think as I said I thought it was a more interesting topic than it really was.. but look at us

Serious conversation in general

[blazing bloom]

I'm new here ~ish 😄

I used to be a mod like 16 years ago here

for not that long lol

[eternal mango]

Here?

[carmine pecan]

16 years ago?

wtf

But HTB is from 2016~2017

[frail turtle]

I always thought it meant like a killing motion... idk i think about a sword with blood on it

[blazing bloom]

yeah, like 2012~ my math might be off

[eternal mango]

We were founded in 2017

[blazing bloom]

[blazing bloom]

let me see something

[eternal mango]

It was a serious question, not sure when Hack In The Box conference was founded

Back in 2012 in Malaysia Hack In The Box was founded apparently

We have been mistaken for them previously, by name

Hack The Box is not Hack In The Box though 😄

[blazing bloom]

hahah yeah, I never did that much back then 😄

[eternal mango]

But yeah, HTB was founded in 2017

[carmine pecan]

The context and meaning of "bleeding edge" are firmly rooted in the realm of technology and innovation, signifying a high-risk, high-reward frontier.[1][9] There is no evidence to suggest it is used as a euphemism for menstruation.

[blazing bloom]

I joined HTB here, in 2019, so I was alittle late to the game

2019 things were still picking up steam

I know because that's when I took a hiatus

[eternal mango]

Welcome back 🙂

I'm giving HTB a shot to take notes to report back to work to see if we want to use it for a training pipeline, so far, so good.

[glad mauve]

which is the correct channel to ask about the different tiers and pricing?

[maiden anvil]

it's impossible they could have built the pyramids by rolling a bunch of stones over a bunch of sticks

and there is no explanation

for why

each of the pyramids is perfectly aligned with true north

and very accurately represent orion's belt

but nothing to see here

it was just a bunch of cavemen with sticks

[eternal mango]

Pricing information is available on the relevant platform, or in articles on https://help.hackthebox.com - is there something that is not covered there you have a question about?

Academy: https://help.hackthebox.com/en/articles/5720974-academy-subscriptions

Labs: https://help.hackthebox.com/en/articles/7257535-htb-labs-subscriptions

[glad mauve]

that last one covers it. Just trying to figure out the differenence between VIP and VIP+ if I don't care about pwnbox.

[eternal mango]

The major difference is dedicated instances of machines, for all machines.. active or retired

[glad mauve]

if I cancel my current annual VIP plan, can I immediate re-sign up for it?

[eternal mango]

https://www.hackthebox.com/blog/htb-labs-pricing-update-2025

From Oct 1st, you will not be able to sign up for VIP

It is being sunsetted

[glad mauve]

ya, but i mean if I cancel now

and immediate sign back up

[ornate ibex]

@gentle tulip , is this your alt account?

[eternal mango]

If you cancel now, your subscription will remain until the end of the current term

[glad mauve]

(otherwise i renew in December)

[eternal mango]

After that, you can then renew

But if your term does not terminate until December, and if you cancel now, you will not be able to resubscribe to VIP in December.

https://www.hackthebox.com/blog/htb-labs-pricing-update-2025#mcetoc_1j3rcsdtd15

If you do not cancel, that portion of the article covers it

[glad mauve]

ya, the web pages are unclear on that point.

i just want to renew at current prices for the next year

with vip; vip+ gets me nothing I really care about

[eternal mango]

If you’re on a VIP monthly or annual plan, your price stays the same, for now. Any future changes will be clearly communicated ahead of time.

It's all there on the article

[glad mauve]

ah i missed that sentence

[gentle tulip]

huh?

[eternal mango]

If you cancel now however, I can't guarantee you'll be able to resume your VIP after Oct 1st, as the VIP offering is being removed at that date.

[ornate ibex]

talkin abt pyramids, it looked as if like conversation continued from previous days discussion in #lounge-staff

[gentle tulip]

oh. haha na, i dont have an alt

[ornate ibex]

@maiden anvil did u hack discord? how did u read #lounge-staff

[maiden anvil]

listen

[glad mauve]

ah ok now i understand what you're saying.

If I cancel now, my subscription won't end until December, so a re-up now won't do anything, except possibly un-grandfather me.

If I sit steady, I chances are greater that I might be grandfathered through at least one more cycle (or whatever the plan is).

is that more or less accurate?

[maiden anvil]

whatever u guys are talking about in there

if i talked about it out here

it's pure coincidence

and i am not Khaotic

[ornate ibex]

but that bought chills

out of nowhere you replied about pyramids specifically to me

[maiden anvil]

here is proof

of me and Khaotic talking about something random

[eternal mango]

You can't subscribe a second time to an already active plan, even if it is in the pending termination / cancelled state

[maiden anvil]

over 3 years ago

therefor it's impossible that I could be a Khaotic alt rn

[glad mauve]

ok. so sit steady for best chances

[gentle tulip]

:surprise_pikachu_face:

[glad mauve]

(pending future update comms, per the web page)

[eternal mango]

Indeed.. it's all there

If you cancel, there is no guarantee that after Oct 1st you will be able to resume again, for VIP

You can cancel any time up until before your renewal

[ornate ibex]

Then it must be mto

Y'all use alarms?

In the 21st century?

[glad mauve]

@eternal mango it was this line that got me a little confused: "You can still purchase or renew VIP and VIP+ plans at the current price until October 1. These will be honored for the full duration of the subscription cycle and give you the opportunity to lock in savings for up to 12 months (if you choose the annual plan) before the price change hits."

i thought that meant I could cancel and re-up before 1 october, and get a full 12 months; the phrasing just made everything else less clear.

[ornate ibex]

how to get windows back 😭

[ornate ibex]

lense exist

I’ll hop on laptop afterwards and hit them up cause don’t think can access chat off phone atm

[ornate ibex]

You could, but do it later when you get time.

But I did laser surgury bro

[limber arch]

Mann I am getting annoyed with my current employment lol

[compact wave]

guess what

im with my camera

[ornate ibex]

not ur damn lense, I meant the camera

[ornate inlet]

I erased windows while installing ubuntu and now am fkd up

[worthy cargo]

Good job.

No need for windows

Run linux host, run a windows vm

No need to game, learn to hack

[ornate inlet]

how?

[worthy cargo]

dun dun dun !

If you nuked the partition, it's gonna be hell to get it back. But if you overwrote something, you're gone.

[ornate inlet]

;[ but some basic features that I need wont work ;[
(too dumb with tech for hackking btw_

[carmine pecan]

[ornate inlet]

can I make a bootable windows usb with the help ofa laptop and then try to istall it?

[ornate inlet]

wht to do if I get errors? (I am getting one with ventoys but cant share media here for sme rsn)

[winter tendon]

anyone that has good resources on getting my feet wet in low level stuff? preferably freshing up my memory in OS fundamentals and then building my way up

[dusky jacinth]

Brother can I be honest with you for a second? Why did you install a Linux distro if you were completely unprepared for that task. Ubuntu is a EXTEMELY simple distro and is incredibly simple to use. You don’t have to use the terminal if you really don’t want to. And why would you not have created a back up Windows image if you didn’t know what you were doing? I think you need to open up YouTube and start watching some tutorials on how you should go through running Linux or some Linux tutorials

[dusky jacinth]

“Programming from the ground up”

Personally I’ve been going through that recently

[ornate inlet]

I just want windows back

[dusky jacinth]

Did you read what I sent bro?

[limber arch]

Just use Rufus to boot from via usb

its so easy

[winter tendon]

okay thank you. what are the topics covered?

[limber arch]

Theres countless articles on this process

[dusky jacinth]

x86

[ornate inlet]

kokay thanks, ima try rufus

[dusky jacinth]

Pretty much a low-level up book on programming

[winter tendon]

is this really suitable for someone who wants to freshen up memory on OS fundamentals tho?

[dusky jacinth]

Nope

You said low level stuff and I interpreted that as ASM

[winter tendon]

well ... thats what i asked xp

oh

[dusky jacinth]

Low level has two meanings

I interpreted it the other way

[carmine pecan]

https://www.bottomupcs.com/

[winter tendon]

this looks a lot better. hope its not too complicated and can work my way up with this

[sharp shuttle]

sup folks what are we arguing about today

[dusky jacinth]

Oh you know

The usual

[winter tendon]

hey by the way, if anyone knows, which job opportunities involve knowing low level

[compact wave]

supppp

[winter tendon]

kernel dev, OS internals etc

[compact wave]

just on VC

chillingggg

[winter tendon]

tied to cybersec

[sharp shuttle]

all of them

you cant avoid it

[winter tendon]

no sorry i meant like which jobs can i do with it

[sharp shuttle]

well.. all of them? but if you mean specificly, hardware hacking.

maldev

threat hunting

[winter tendon]

okay interesting

thank you

[sharp shuttle]

anything that requires reverse engineering

[carmine pecan]

HackTheGlobe

[winter tendon]

im scrolling through this book "computer science from the bottom up" and im seeing stuff like this

oh cant paste screenshots in here damn

well just pictures of C code

am i supposed to know C before reading this? or is it explained on the go

[carmine pecan]

it's explained on the go

[winter tendon]

thank u so much

[ornate inlet]

ima stick with ubuntu for a few days ig!

[thin peak]

yes sir

@dusky jacinth lockheed has the ufos

raytheon has the UFO's, lockheed just makes the propulsion systems

yall forget about skunkworks?

[fossil flax]

Other than vpn’s and proxy chains, what’s another way to help with privacy?

[tulip moat]

browser tracking / fingerprinting is a big one, good to spoof / try to circumvent these measures but of course depends how far you'd wanna go

[fossil flax]

And how would you know if someone broke into your machine?

[sharp shuttle]

hack someone else and pivot through them.

thats all you can do my friend

[sharp shuttle]

its pretty obvious if you have any sort of logs

the simple thing i do is alias common recon commands. whoami prints to a log only sudo can edit, then disconnects them, locks down my machine.

[silver forge]

joke's on you, I use id

[sharp shuttle]

well i do it to all the commands

there is no reason i would ever run who, whoami, id, or anything else normally

[fossil flax]

Bet

[sharp shuttle]

saying bet to me does not instill confidence that you understand

[devout sail]

[fossil flax]

I don’t lol I’m just going to try and figure it out when i get home

[devout sail]

I slept more than 24h and idk of its my body lmao, feel soo good
No random pain and clear mind

[sharp shuttle]

i literally gave you the answer

[devout sail]

How do u lock down?

[sharp shuttle]

im on mac so its easier than on windows and debian-based. Mac has a protocol you can enable via alias

because apple cares ❤️

[fossil flax]

All you said was use whoami

[devout sail]

Oh fair enough

[sharp shuttle]

i didnt..

i said use alias

you can apply alias to whatever.

whoami is an example

in the case of linux, you have to write your own script. just have alias execute a script with sudo that does all the lockdown

[wary pumice]

Did someone say LOCKHEED

https://tenor.com/view/trump-freedom-intensifies-fighter-plane-gif-14570676

Is anyone having issues connecting to HTB Academy VPN?

[sharp shuttle]

yeah

[carmine cedar]

I can't connect to any of their VPN at all

[sharp shuttle]

did you try restarting your pc?

[carmine cedar]

yes

pwnbox work fine but not VPN

I followed all the guides already but still couldnt connect to it

[dusky jacinth]

What did you do to connect to it

Are you running a VM or bare metal?

[carmine cedar]

VM

[dusky jacinth]

What VM?

[carmine cedar]

Parrot OS

[dusky jacinth]

Okay

[eternal mango]

What output do you get from the openvpn client?

[dusky jacinth]

What did you do to connect to the VPN?

[carmine cedar]

I download the UDP VPN file then openvpn on terminal

but it failed the handshake

[dusky jacinth]

How so

[eternal mango]

If you have since connected via Pwnbox, you may need to download it again

[dusky jacinth]

What did the communication from the connection look like?

[carmine cedar]

It's not connected to pwnbox now and I tried it a couple of times

[scenic maple]

sudo killall openvpn
and then try again

[idle stream]

uhhh i have a question
does the bscp exam include every topics in the labs or only the ones listed in the "prepare for exam" link

[eternal mango]

That may be an old ovpn file

At least, that IP does not match your currently assigned VPN server on Academy

[dusky jacinth]

Oscp?

[eternal mango]

Please try re-downloading your VPN file, and giving it another go

[idle stream]

Nah, BSCP, the certification of Burp Suite

[scenic maple]

https://portswigger.net/web-security/certification/how-to-prepare

[terse dirge]

You should probably ask in #careers-and-certs or in portswigger's discord

[sharp shuttle]

if you follow the guidelines for BSCP, you will pass

i suggest completing literally everything

its not a trivial exam

[dusky jacinth]

Wait are people out here only learning exactly what they need to to get certificates?

Jkjk

I know the answer is yes

[eternal mango]

NVM no, that IP matches. I'd still recommend redownloading your ovpn file @carmine cedar, or switching VPN servers then redownloading

..or switching from UDP to TCP in the download screen

[idle stream]

oh, thanks, i didnt see the thread before haha mb

[eternal mango]

Any joy @carmine cedar ?

[carmine cedar]

nope

I tried it on different servers. still the same error

[muted olive]

TCP didn't work?

[eternal mango]

I'm not seeing any VPN log entries, anywhere.. which server did you switch to?

IF you open your most recently downloaded ovpn file, and find the hostname, do you get a ping response from it?

[carmine cedar]

EU Academy 1

[eternal mango]

Can you try again now while I'm watching logs please?

[scenic maple]

try a sudo killall first

then connect

[alpine pumice]

Be sure to terminate your pwnbox before connecting to the VPN. Also, you still never showed your openvpn command.

[scenic maple]

no man

[thin peak]

yup

[scenic maple]

getting stuck on a box is normal

[eternal mango]

@carmine cedar I'm going to forcibly regenerated your ovpn file. Please go to https://academy.hackthebox.com/vpn and click download again, and make sure you are using the new file.

[carmine cedar]

ok thanks

[muted olive]

Anger yes, but I wouldn't call it "homicidal revenge fantasies"

[eternal mango]

That's still failing it seems. Could you try the TCP option instead please @carmine cedar ?

[sharp shuttle]

Saying shit like that warrants people reporting you dude. I hope you are joking.

You came off as genuinely deranged.

[eternal mango]

That's still the UDP server, are you sure you are using the newly downloaded .ovpn file @carmine cedar ?

The old ones will be invalid.

..because I'm fairly sure you're not

[carmine cedar]

give a moment

[eternal mango]

Make sure you redownload it, selecting TCP on hte page I linked above, and reference the new file when running openvpn. If that doesn't work, then please reach out to support

[green kite]

cool @boreal pike

[sharp shuttle]

how do yall feel about memes in cyber security presentations?

i personally think they are drab and pedantic

[green kite]

lightens stuff up

but depends on the setting

if you have to present for management, dont do it

among peers, why not

[sharp shuttle]

i think if the meme is used to explain how something works or should be interpreted, its useful

im presenting at bsides in october

[green kite]

nice

[sharp shuttle]

working on my presentation right now

[green kite]

lol, yes, that can happen

[sharp shuttle]

penetration...

[green kite]

lol, yeah

[sharp shuttle]

good joke ^

[devout sail]

^ good laugh

[green kite]

^ no clue

[sharp shuttle]

poo poo

poop joke

[green kite]

you guys are drunk

go home

[sharp shuttle]

im thinking ill not use memes

[devout sail]

[sharp shuttle]

i really get annoyed by them, idk if im just being a bitch

[devout sail]

you are

[green kite]

its your presentation

[devout sail]

memes are good

[green kite]

you're the boss

[sharp shuttle]

the content of my talk is tonally towards seriousness

[devout sail]

[sharp shuttle]

and tbh if im presenting myself publically for the first time, id rather come off as rather intimidating

my talk is around drones

some people get really uncomfy around drone jokes

[hoary nebula]

https://tenor.com/view/tyler1-loltyler1-screaming-dead-wtf-gif-17500255

[boreal pike]

Thank you! ^^

[sharp shuttle]

out of curiosity why mention israelies?

ukraine/russia goring with drones is the sensitive topic

drones hardly affect israel, the iron dome failed on missile strikes.

My expertise is on drones, im just being pedantic because hezbollahs silly rotary plane drones are not the issue

sure that sounds more accurate

they are used as fodder

regardless, putting a meme in my drone presentation just feels bad

[green kite]

no meme it is

[sharp shuttle]

the people who will attend are interested in the rammifications

[ornate ibex]

why not

[sharp shuttle]

instead of saying im against it, i should have asked has anybody seen it successful and it has stuck with you to explain a topic

[boreal pike]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elqeifX-eQw&list=RDelqeifX-eQw&start_radio=1

Hop hop, spinnekop!

[sharp shuttle]

i just think the memes make the speaker look infantile

[ornate ibex]

light humor in a serious room is not good?

[sharp shuttle]

personally, id rather have the speaker have personality instead of the memes doing heavy lifting, which ive seen countless times

[ornate ibex]

It can help hook the audience

[sharp shuttle]

i use the CCCA hook format

in my opinion its superior

[devout sail]

can i watch this at work?
the name and thumbnail makes me feel like the nswer is no

i got memes brath

[boreal pike]

It's a song, I guess it's fine, nothing explicit but if you feel uncomfy, it might be best to ignore the video clip.

[sharp shuttle]

Curiosity (ask the central question)
Consequence (show the bad parts -> hook)
Credibility (whoami)
Agency (show the audience how they can prevent consequence)

[devout sail]

i dont feel uncomfy, but colleages do

[boreal pike]

[sharp shuttle]

did you see this in a presentation?

[boreal pike]

Yeah, then it might be best to just listen instead.

[devout sail]

another meme
i hope it mever becomes true lmao
-# i dont use adblock

[green kite]

@boreal pike what is this weirdly but hooking melody

[sharp shuttle]

again folks, please tell me when youve seen a meme in presentation and it was the best choice to explain a topic

[boreal pike]

[tulip forge]

hi, can anyone tell me how can i share my HTB profile link?

[rustic carbon]

[ornate ibex]

It is only possible for the HTB labs atm,https://app.hackthebox.com/profile/settings > Profile settings > preferences

profile public link

[willow storm]

tejas hiii

[ornate ibex]

Hii

[sharp shuttle]

uhhhh you copy and paste it?

[ornate ibex]

No, it won't work unless they have the public profile link option enabled.

[sharp shuttle]

im confused.. I can just go look at your profile

is this a new thing?

[willow storm]

yes but all status would be 0

[sharp shuttle]

why would they do that

[willow storm]

unless u make it public

idk maybe some people dont like sharing progress

[sharp shuttle]

you just make it harder to catch cheaters no?

[willow storm]

thats a fair point tbh

anyone done XEN? i have a question, and dont tell me to post in #1263635449335910531 im too lazy lol

[sharp shuttle]

just go look up the guide

xen was a fortress or whatever

its highly public

[willow storm]

im facing like a connection issue

[sharp shuttle]

ah

[willow storm]

so like a guide would just give solution

[sharp shuttle]

yeah im aware

i figured you were asking for help

[signal mica]

Unmeasurable

[sharp shuttle]

my tool i wrote with goomba and josh was extremely accurate

[signal mica]

Unless htb goes down academic path and decides to have 1:1 talk after solving the box

[sharp shuttle]

HTB just doesnt want to deal with cheaters because they are good for business, and i cant fault them

[signal mica]

Judging by those names its either excellent or inane garbage

[sharp shuttle]

???

goomba is a genius and josh is one of the best web hackers in the UK

[signal mica]

So former

What were the metrics for detecione

[sharp shuttle]

right, i mean it was so accurate it was unreal. I also added osinting tools that check if the user is in discords with my sock puppets and scans their message history

if HTB wanted the cheaters dealt with this tool alongside their internal logs would probably be nearly perfect

[willow storm]

thats really interesting

[heady sage]

I ended up getting an A on my first data structures assignment!

[random pendant]

Guys. Why I don't have follow and respect button on htb? 🧐

[sharp shuttle]

yoooo im assuming it was unsigned integers and casting/polymorphism related?

[heady sage]

It was a runtime table meant to calculate the big o notation and runtime of algorithms

[signal mica]

He said data structs not oop

[sharp shuttle]

we all know O(n) is the only big O that's real

[heady sage]

I’m so happy!

[sharp shuttle]

data struct courses tend to teach OOP first

[signal mica]

No way

[sharp shuttle]

that was my experience, three times

[signal mica]

Thats a separate class or how do you call it

[heady sage]

Believe it or not, I thought I would struggle on data structures

[signal mica]

Vader u have separate lectures/class for that?

[heady sage]

Guess I was wrong

[sharp shuttle]

data structures is really really easy

[heady sage]

OOP paradigms was a separate class

[sharp shuttle]

idk why people call it a pruning course

you have to be mad dumb to fail it

[signal mica]

conceptually the structures can be hard to some people ig? Like understansing stack ...

[heady sage]

Believe it or not, there’s a lot of the data structures we use in the class that I recongnized like the stack and queue

[sharp shuttle]

again mad dumb, i dont want dumb people learning real Cs anyway, go be a javascript dev

[heady sage]

It’s very much easier if you know what you’re doing in terms of memory management

[sharp shuttle]

good explanation of data structures is just throwing you into the deep end and making you learn structs

[signal mica]

Isnt it like mandatory for all cs students to complete data structures and algos? In like first year of cs degree

[sharp shuttle]

yeah data structures is typically a pruning course

like Digital logic for EE

[heady sage]

So I’ll be fine then

[signal mica]

Oh you mean pruning as in getting people to drop

[sharp shuttle]

youll be fine if you already got an A

yep

[signal mica]

For my college that was math 1 lmao

[heady sage]

I literally have a 100 rn

[signal mica]

Analysis

Funcs, Limits, integrals, derivs, ...

First year first semester first lecture 7am math 1

Most clown way to start uni

[sharp shuttle]

calculus yeah

[sharp shuttle]

hardest class i took we differential equations

[signal mica]

I swapped that class for competitive programming

[heady sage]

I kind of want to do that. That sounds fun

[cloud osprey]

best thing you can do in school is drop out

[sharp shuttle]

interesting, my favorite class before i dropped out was Digital Signal Processing and Microcontrollers

i made a lil brown noise robot

[heady sage]

Can’t. Parrents want me to finish university at the very least

[cloud osprey]

have them pay for it then

[heady sage]

They are

[cloud osprey]

oh

well yolo

[signal mica]

Its fun until a chinese turbonerd absolutely consumes a max flow problem in matter of minutes while u are still trying to understand it

[sharp shuttle]

turbonerd kek

[signal mica]

No other description fits better

[heady sage]

If they fail they bring and I quote “Great shame to family”

[sharp shuttle]

they do though

i brought shame to mine when i dropped out

[cloud osprey]

ive never been more proud than when i decided school wasnt for me and to stop listening to all the boomer scum that kept telling me to go back

[sharp shuttle]

i feel that

man my ex-wifes parents WERE MAD

its amazing how spiteful boomer/gen-x is over college

alumni dick suckers

[cloud osprey]

nothing made me more mad than sitting in a class and realizing the teacher was only there because they couldnt get an actual job in that field

[signal mica]

Because they believe the only source of knowledge is from teacher to student

[sharp shuttle]

i manipulated those teachers, they were such pushovers

[heady sage]

My parents are GenX and they are mad if I even think about dropping out.

[torn cedar]

Yeah not gonna lie my teacher for my associates put on udemy videos to teach us. I was fucking baffled

[sharp shuttle]

the sad part is your parents are delusional about the current and future job market

college is truly useless

[cloud osprey]

only exceptions are things like law and med

[signal mica]

Depends on college though

How could i possibly master chemistry if i dont have a homelab for $120k

(Comes with uni)

[sharp shuttle]

law is getting AI'd on a massive scale, probably the first to really go. they just got approvals for litigation and discovery with AI. medical is a scam, never be a nurse. only doctors win

[cloud osprey]

well being a nurse is for women that like to cheat

[signal mica]

But ai cant deliver just decisions

[sharp shuttle]

yet

I am confident everything is going to massively change

[cloud osprey]

earlier a certain somebody was arguing that a stenographer will never be replaced by transcription software

[signal mica]

Uhhh idk yk judges consult psychs and they analyze the subjects prior to ultimate rule, you think ai will be able to handle all of this

[sharp shuttle]

everyone in power is giving the world to openai

[sharp shuttle]

therapists are losing their jobs because people use chatgpt as a therapist

understand its just the infancy, i know its not widespread, but in 5 years its going to be a crushing realization

[cloud osprey]

SO many therapists are such trash

[sharp shuttle]

they are sociopaths

they want to mislead you

[signal mica]

So many

[sharp shuttle]

change my mind

[signal mica]

There is some dog cert going around my country

You can literally be a therapist

With 0

Idk if this is global

[sharp shuttle]

therapy is just exposure in the form of a percieved connection, if people are able to humanize a chatbot, its over

[torn cedar]

Dating AI gonna go to the moon

[sharp shuttle]

yeah i think thats going to be a huge industry

Anyone else missing respect and follow button on htb???????

[cloud osprey]

the problem with AI dating is I need somebody on my level, and it is literally in the name that AI has too much intelligence for me

[boreal pike]

This is what happens when I try pressing any button.

[sharp shuttle]

those are gone too?

[random pendant]

One of my friends got them but I don't. like wtf

[cloud osprey]

im saying that i have no intelligence, and my gf matches that, no point in introducing intelligence into the relationship now

[boreal pike]

Raise your hand if you have ever dated a fictional character through AI.

[random pendant]

That's not the case bro

[sharp shuttle]

i tried it out with my wife

was funny as hell

[signal mica]

I have 6 digital divorces

[cloud osprey]

not if there isnt any intelligence to replace

[boreal pike]

Lmao, trying that with your wife is wild on a whole other level.

[boreal pike]

OOF-

[cloud osprey]

ah, a discord kitten farmer, a man of culture i see

[sharp shuttle]

we dated hinata and i kept asking her to screen and diagnose my butt for cancer

with her eyes

[cloud osprey]

her eyes and your eye

[sharp shuttle]

these kids man, its so over

if i had this shit i woulda gone full degen

[cloud osprey]

so true, im so glad social media hadnt been invented until i was in like HS

[sharp shuttle]

i dont think you understand

well hang on

how old are you

[cloud osprey]

bruh

practically dead

[sharp shuttle]

yeah you didnt know what it was like for paint, and me - even though he had even less

its a different world

yes but it was censored.

[signal mica]

Feels like internet was not censored enough from its early stages to days date

The shit i was able to watch as a kid

[cloud osprey]

wait i have a clip saved for this

[sharp shuttle]

you think it was worse than what you can find now?

please

[signal mica]

No but its a snowball effect right

[sharp shuttle]

dawg the worst shit imaginable is on the clearweb now

i had to quit being a PI over it

[signal mica]

Yes because in early stages we drew no lines

[sharp shuttle]

you couldnt find that stuff before.

[signal mica]

Because it snowballed

And made us deranged

[sharp shuttle]

i see your point

[cloud osprey]

please hold still looking for the clip

[sharp shuttle]

telegram users should probably all be put on trial immediately to prove their innocence

[dusky jacinth]

I feel the same for WhatsApp but that might be controversial

[sharp shuttle]

telegram is a horrible horrible place

you can argue whatsapp and signal sure

but that one is different
