question what better to go with THM OR HTB If you are still just beginning your journey in cybsec or just in general IT ? any recommendations would be appreciated
If you don't know what Linux is - THM.
If you're new to Infosec but know what a computer is - HTB.
Both have entry level and harder setups. THM has a lot of significantly easier content, whilst HTB is significantly more curated.
If you need your hand held go to THM
If you are able to work through difficult and abstract contexts whilst being patient and enjoy the thrill of learning and overcoming difficulty, HTB
i am somewhat familiar with linux wouldn't say i know in and out of it but i dabble in it
I cant say the community is any better here anymore as many of the THM people have escaped their sandbox
THM "Easy" is learning how to use the cat command.
Then thm would be a very good fit for you for now
without googling/gpt what does this command do:
ls; cat root.txt | grep HTB
grab HTB in root directory using cat by navigataing using ls command if i am not mistaking
id say go to THM
Almost, but not quite 🙂
Stick with THM for now.
Yep
i have/had the same questions
My advice stick to thm for some months, maybe 3-4 and when you feel confident enough come back
I've been in thm I did the same
i know linux and i have done like a few levels of bandit from overthewire and i tried thm but i didnt really like it cuz u had to pay for a lot of stuff and it kinda felt like they were talking to me like a little kid idk y 😭
THM has a ... LOT of free rooms
fck xD aighty then thx i appreciate that
thats the point, THM is a padded cell with free hugs
I've done around half a thousand free rooms on THM...
yeah but none of the GOOD ones are free
you're gonna have to change your bio dog
free just aint good enough for you huh?
i mean i wouldn't mind bashing my head trying to solve stuff in htb but yea fair if people recommend thm sure then i will listen to ya'll
damn thats wild
look if you have the capacity to bang your head, do HTB
challenge yourself.
You will have a harder time.. it's better to go light at the start in thm..
shitty joke
The start is always the best part
but i'll chalk it as you were an edgy teen
Where we are which is the middle part is the worst 💀
you will relearn your foundations for years, where you start doesnt matter as much, it just matters that you understand
don't call me sir
i said sir as in a term of respect

as in like a kind of niche english joke
im beginning to hate it here again
i'm aware, but i'm not a sir
why?
oh yeah but i didnt mean it about ur gender or nun'#
took longer than i thought
Why can't we all just be friends? 🥲
we have an interesting dichotemy right now, you came in here asking respectfully what to do, and the other guy is just digging a hole. I wish more people like you would pop up in here daily, but unfortunately its the latter.
Hey, my friend
The trick is minimising Discord and coming back in an hour when the current chaos has blown over :p
its getting hard to take anything seriously in cyber when I know these people are going to enshittify it
yea i can imagine that i will but sure aighty i will listen to more experienced people that say do thm for good half a year then go to htb
yeah that should be good
We had this convo in dms i think regarding AI pushing out the actual competent people and forcing a regression
Absolutely.
i mean i am always here just i don't really chat xD
preesh the change
Yeah I've been through the thm journey.. trust me if you start with htb you will get burnt out and will hate it afterwards.. imagine that happened to me during the thm phase
what?
Just do consistent pushes don't do marathons
thank you for having the confidence to ask your question the way you did
god i'm old
preesh → appreciate
ohh right
Idk keep using AI is a good thing, now I found I can only understand what AI said
never heard that
its like impossible to communicate with the people who roll in here too, they are caught up in their bastard ebonics speech where they can't properly communicate meaning
or its a language barrier ofc
I mean man as I said not everyone fits with everyone.. but what you're saying also happens everywhere unfortunately

icl ts pmo st n ic h ts cb cfzng
well thanks again
yep, and im probably just going to bail and stick to my elitist communities, isnt that sad?
That's what makes us humans interesting
I will go check out thm
and will prob pop in once in a while to see what yall doing here
Great, good luck on your journey
thank you
see what i mean?
omg it almost enrages me
plenty of 3rd parties have documented the LABS api
but the API itself isn't documented officially by htb
Haha might me joining too? 😅
That’s why I think there should be a channel for us newbies to hang out
Matter of fact... A general question chat
but my documentation is purely from me pushing buttons and not using a tool to find it
That's a good idea
id have to sponsor you, and i really dont know you all too well at this time
could be interesting
[ctrl+shift+I] -> network tab
I mean it's alright I was just playing.. but yeah even here with a little patience we'll all manage
i just think you shouldnt be able to talk HERE unless you are red name or have a cert.
It's a "workplace" and we're all teammates afterall
Like me with my red name asking a question 😇
and my apologies if my question caused any chaos or disturbed in here or what i just didn't knew where else to ask
This is a bad anaology, I usually dislike my "team" at every place I ever worked because they were inept and made my job harder. Thats why i work for myself.
Yeah, and rightfully so you were delivered scrutiny. It doesnt mean you shouldnt be able to talk here.
Do you ever hire someone?
Yes, I have hired two people from this platform so far.
Even with that sometimes to keep a good vibe and make the most of it, we have to like or at least.. tolerate..
recon ng feels like nmap on steroids
And yeah come on man I started a week ago 🥲
Yeah Im too old to tolerate it, it kills my soul to work with people who just do it for the paycheck
and you would earn your way up to chat here. not having this solution drives people like me away, and in the moment you may celebrate that notion, but in the long run this entire discord becomes worse off
it already has.
Isn’t there be like channels for the hacker rank only?
yep
Think of it the other way around man.. you've been in mine and everyone else's shoes sometime
it's pretty barren tbh
No one was born a hacker.. we all started somewhere
I have. If you do it for the paycheck get the fuck out of cyber security
I have genes my dad has been coding for 35 years
i still cant code
had this convo with a client earlier about my approach to vetting clients
You would be contributing to a shittier world where there is no order
Yeah, there are easier jobs like web dev
I mean.. come on.. who doesn't do it for the paycheck?
Not ONLY for the paycheck, but there is a percentage of your motivation the paycheck
This kind of elitist mentality is toxic and you are literally trying to drive away new people that are just trying to learn. I can even begin to tell you how ironic your idea of how to run this chat is
I dont do it for the paycheck, i never have
many of us dont
I don't like to work with people who aren't willing to be curious, challenge me on my knowledge
Well I hope everyone is having a amazing day evening or afternoon i will dip take care
You're also not a moderator and do not work for HTB, so please spare the mini-modding
God, people like you - high time preference individuals have no idea the damage you do with your terrible takes
FOR REAL
Man
It's a job afterall... Even people like doctors and lawyers love their jobs but also love the heavy pockets they have out of their jobs
It's a win win
Its not a job, its defending
I’m thinking about one question, why do brath has to tolerate us instead of us tolerating brath?
"I want a chat for only the people I want to talk to"
Brother start your own server and leave
So are police officers, medics, firefighters..
Good idea
What if he is?
Yeah my point is that you might see it as THE passion.. but at the end of the day it's just a job
I said he is 😇
like of all the egoists i've seen in the server, brath kinda earned his elitism (even if i do or don't agree with it)
A job without passion drains you out pretty quickly
and brath isn't even an egoist
And that's why I'm here.. I loved the idea of hacking so much as a kid, and when I realised it's an actual ethical job I came to the server in a heartbeat
Even if I'm a software engineering student
I can make bread while doing what I love
you can probably google "HTB API" and figure it out from there
Honestly, every time I see neck beards like him throwing rocks at newbies, I just wonder how many people have given up and dropped the hobby/passion alltogether
btw were you dmd recently by a person asking them to "hack their tiktok back"
You know what guys... Everyone has different beliefs. We gotta respect everyone as they are (except if they disturb us personally in any way)
Brath doesn't "throw rocks" he slingshots them
Well, if they r really that easy to give up, they don’t deserve to be in here…
The dont "deserve" to be in here? lol, yikes
because, to a point, what he says is true: Don't ask others for help if you haven't even dug into the bare minimum
Maybe I used a wrong word, bad English
could agree to this
I mean come on.. for some people third party opinions dictate their motivation
for instance i'm slowly working on a tool for HTB academy, i did my due diligence to understanding the basics of what i needed so I can understand the type of question I needed.
Yeah, I agree with this
also its nice to have someone constantly disagreeing with you
the roadblock i hit: trying to send login info required a hidden captcha code. I searched into how to bypass it, instead i shifted to just launching a browser to log in and save the relevant cookies
It depends really.. I asked too the bare minimum but people like me prefer to ask it directly to the server first rather than a bot, because I have the ideology that if I ask here I would get a response by actually experienced hackers.. if you know what I'm saying
I kinda understand them
that's why i said to a point
The experienced hackers have all left.
Alright I didn't read that 🥲
Who knows? Don't underestimate anyone here..
Some people have secret talents
asking a question to build off a fundamental knowledge is different than asking how do you use curl
Life is unpredictable
And the majority of people are not even worth knowing in this life.
and brath is generally abrasive to questions that are swiftly googleable
Jeez..
I don’t trust the rank system here, maybe noobs are actually experienced, who knows
Yeah that's kinda my point.. and not even
for instance the person asking about the HTB API earlier... All you had to do was google "HTB API" and docs exist that other people compiled from what we know currently (and knowing it can change at a whim)
I have no obligation to give my respect to anybody, and they have none to give it to me. The difference is I don't pretend to be someone I am not
masscan
bash: masscan: command not found...
Install package 'masscan' to provide command 'masscan'? [N/y]
guys im not sure what to do here someone help me
But I think everyone deserves some basic respect…
i will ensure the destruction of your bloodline
They deserve decency, not respect
Amen
got me giggling
Statements like that make me wonder if you just don't understand the concept of respect, like truly get it
Listen man just like I said I like the way you think and you as a person but come on.. try being a little more empathetic..
what about moustache man?
My one and only experience here was after digging into why the EU Release Arean VPN was not connecting and allowing me to talk to the spun up box. I googled it, couldn't find a decent answer, figured a good place to ask would be the literal HtB group, got a reply from Brath stating some basic things, but it pointed out to me that my tun0 was incorrectly connected to the wrong subnet, so I thanked them after rebooting my machine which then allowed the correct connection. Then I got told to ask ChatGPT next time instead of waste peoples time (summarizing the convo, and yes, I was passive aggressive right back, no excuses for me ^_^). Kind of elitist answer so I replied, and here we are. You dont need to like everyone or respect them, but treating people nicely goes a long way. Anyway I'm out, no point in arguing with someone who thinks so highly of themselves and so little of others
sigh can we not
Not reading allat
Do you know what it feels like to be so empathetic that you understand the correct way to interact with somebody?
Do you know what it feels like to properly evaulate someone on a first impression, dig into them a bit, evaluate their character, and apply heuristics to the interaction?
okayyyyyyy but everyone is to broad!!!!!!!!!
I mean if i saw the dude during WW2 id kill him would you not
I know. And I get it. But I wanna be clear..
When I say be empathetic I don't mean babysitting, helping them 24/7.. I mean have yourself first, but help others at the same time... Not only it will bring only good for you mentally and to everyone's mental state and mood
It gives the place a good atmosphere
No one likes bad energy
Right?
Idk, I think they r also humans
wdym its a simple case of the greater good
Respect everyone unless they disturb your life personally.
People who get it can identify when other do too. It's unspoken.
If you are attenuated in such a way that you cannot discern your emotion from logical application of infrapersonal assessment, then you do not truly know what it means to be empathetic. And the issue more-so lies is how words have lost their meaning by being thrown around without true understanding.
That's my inner code
Yes but this is also assuming that the person asking a question didn't attempt to find an answer on their own or even knows what to search for. Knowing what questions to ask is a learned skill and not everyone has it. Being rude to someone because they asked a question that you think they should know how to answer is just toxic and it has plagued this community for decades
more often than not, basic ass questions can generally be assumed that no research was done
I really don't want to take sides because I like literally every single one of you 🥲
But pls guys... No more drama..
I don’t know anymore, maybe I look at things too simply…
I often give far more grace than I should in some cases, when half the time the answer is just "read"
People tend to be assholes, lets agree on that. and lets eat a cookie (not talking about a side, just general as humans)
COOKIES?!
WHERE
DISABLE THEM
I'm a cat from ¢(€=`°€✓ can I have a cookie too?
@obtuse fern when are we adding a dumb questions filter to @west lynx where if an AI model detects a message in chat to be a dumb question it deletes it and gives an answer in DMs ????
😭😭😭
Ohhh those cookies 💀
Brown butter chocolate chip cookies are the best chat

hell yehh
The conversation we have had here today has done catastrophic damage to my faith in this communities ability to uphold itself. I fear it is already overrun with naiveity. So much so that it is deemed fun and thrilling to drive away the proverbial elders of this place
It is not an issue of whether UNC is going to help you anymore, it brings into question the entire industry as a whole when I see such short-sighted opinions that discourage critique and perspective entirely for feelgood statements. This is not an industry for those types of people.
I will say it again. This industry is about the defense of the world as we know it. And if you cannot understand that, you are unreasonable and should seek a career elsewhere.
my dad used to look at myh cookies when i was a teenager and it was difficult to explain
i found your cookie TjJJZ01qSWdOVFVnTnpNZ05qVWdOeklnTm1VZ05qRWdObVFnTmpVZ00yRWdOaklnTm1ZZ05qSWdNaklnTW1NZ01qSWdOVEFnTmpFZ056TWdOek1nTnpjZ05tWWdOeklnTmpRZ00yRWdNekVnTXpJZ016TWdNaklnTjJRPQ== (64,64,16)
unc using the word unc 🔥
Bro got doxed 🥀
@lean perch that's piracy, and not allowed in the server
That is absolutely and utterly false. As someone who started in helpdesk and worked their way up to starting a vulnerability management program that covers almost 100 companies completely from scratch, I cannot disagree hard enough.
ah ok sorry
I also worked helldesk
@lean perch all your answers can be found at https://bigrat.monster
What do I need for image perms here?
I did research the whole time I was doing Odin Project and then someone said if I'm not asking questions I'm a liability
really ?
Oh shit my bad, I thought I was hacking boxes for fun and learning, I didnt know getting a reverse shell on an easy box was saving the world, damn, that is a lot more pressure
hacker rank
yep
I can agree with that...our job is to defend.
no, they're trolling
Oh, RIP. Started CAPE course today.
some people just need to be told they're being stupid
Enjoy your endless in-fighting, frustration, and undeserved malice towards one another. I am leaving the server for good. I appreciate many of you, and hope to see the few of you worth knowing in the future and working with you in good-faith. Good luck to you all
damn rip
the server makes me feel less lonely while I study alone in my room
🙁
keep politics out of here
i'll miss you unc 🥀 🎋
Come on bro 😭
Fair
Alright I'm going too..
Not from the server but.. yee
Have fun guys.. always happy, and good vibes forever 🙏🏻
Target(s) are spawning...
lowk thought there would be more commotion at brath leaving lol
ima go sleep gng
gn
yeah brath is not one to really bullshit on leaving
he's left previously and come back
because the server was full and couldn't eat anymore
o ok
how long do you think he's gone for?
though this is probs either longer or for good
He'll be back he loves this place way too much to leave me. 
sometimes he likes to ruin his braincells
actually going to sleep now goodnight guys
goodnight Pyramids
sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite
sweet dreams and all that jazz
fr I should go to sleep too
its 2am here

one thing that has helped me was realizing that often times simply typing out my question in detail with what ive done brings to light more things i can try. so, typically before i ask for help in a chat I'll do that in private first to see what else comes up, if nothing does then I'll seek help
i'm always in bed about 8pm
don't know wohat i'm going to do when daylight savings hits and it's still daylight
yeah asking a question often brings solutions to mind
so many times ive typed a question out to a help chat then immediately realized my answer lol
rubber ducky troubleshooting.
i've got a question: does anyone think it's worth doing a compsci degree if I'
I've got the time
is that a thing?
a duck comes when rubber ducky troubleshooting is mentioned, you must have sensed a disturbance in the force
yes
Rubber duck debugging (or rubberducking) is a debugging technique in software engineering. A programmer explains their code, step by step, in natural language - either aloud or in writing - to reveal mistakes and misunderstandings.
The name is a reference to a story in the book The Pragmatic Programmer. It tells a story of a developer who carrie...
oh wow haha
it's fairly common to see rubber ducks atop monitors and other various locations in areas with a lot of dev folks; of course the concept applies to all.
dang, now im actually proud of myself for unknowingly doing that, thats cool thats its an actual thing!
also helps avoid something like the xy problem https://xyproblem.info/
it's why I tend to ask what are you trying to do or why are you doing this method
oof, just started reading xy, and boy did i ever run into that problem a lot coding back in the day. id assume one solution and then waste so much time trying to force it to work before wondering why i think its the only way
i rubber duck by typing my rambling thoughts about the problem into a text editor. that usually works for me.
gives me starting points, clarity, etc.
Interesting
ive got a channel for it in my private discord
haha, nice
@obtuse fern i wonder if it would be beneficial to include a bit about doing the rubber duck technique with a link to information about it in a "read this and react to unlock channels" discord welcome message for here. this way before people start asking questions, theyve claimed to agree to do that first. might help cut down on "bad" questions that aggravate people
you assume people read in the first place
😉
most of the stuff is covered in pins/etc
which is why Brath earlier made the point to say "they don't belong here" (as in in this field)
this room is also under the "off topic" heading so maybe nobody should be asking about htb at all here
now that's just stupid
no singular topic means anything (that isn't against da rules)

You do what you always do
try to take over the world?
beep boop
boop beep beep boop
yeah targets dyslexic folks. Well... that and people who just don't pay attention
Alright guys time to drive back home and keep doing the starting point

The "o" is actually "ο"
the first one is the real letter, the second one is the greek lowercase omicron
micrοsοft
see? omicron ^^
ive decided to stop resisting for now; and stick with the fucking rainbow light show I cursed myself with many years ago that is now embedded into my pc
resistance is futile
This episode is still my favourite in the entire series
Both the greek letter omicron and the English alphabet o is counted as the same thing by the keyboard
It won't make a difference cause you're still typing o
It's not the same thing
try visiting micrοsοft.com
copy paste that exactly
np its really tricky to see
there's actually almost no difference between the two
except a very very slight tilt that you may see if you look really hard
real letter: o
greek letter: ο

Guys, I have a question does CPTS certificate stay valid lifetime?
nothing more gross than boomers fucking
yes
unless htb decides to change it ofc
I thought it was only for 1 year
i can't fail to notice i still have my cpts and it's been more than a year
If you choose between CPTS and OSCP which one you will go with
Yea they only give 1 try?
🥲👌🏻
depends. if u get learn one u get 2 chances. if u get 3 months get 1.
either way a retake after.... is only 249 https://help.offsec.com/hc/en-us/articles/29840452210580-Changes-to-the-OSCP#h_01J6SF2WV231AEQFYTYFC8A9SB

i just used udpx
I try when hard then
doesn't really need to try hard or anything it's just a UDP port lmao
How did y'all get the UDP scan finished soo quickly
UDP issue
Check ippsec message in #1419019213179326626
He gave hint last night
Is there a logic conclusion on why udp is used?
so it seems
what hint it's just a udp port you need to find it takes like 1 second
Or is it one of those boxes that "something just js"
it's just that the machine is garbage and poorly responds to packet
also guys please remember box is still active
Well you don't need to scan at all with that hint
Mhm that's why I have random screenshot
And saying random shit
Maybe not.
It just is funny when i realised what they were talking about
no i am not saying you cant talk about it
root is soo easy, just gotta cat /root/root.txt 💀

Mhm port 455 for u
sir what is a port
Does it come with sauce
no
Thats a bit dry
Guys anyone played the Season 9 machine expressway
But well take what we can get
the only open port is SSH 22 ?
Yeppp
yes let our silky smooth brains marinade
Do not tell anyone that i gave you the solution
||
ssh '<?php system($_GET["cmd"]);?>'@10.10.x.x||
Ree
scan every port
Bro lost embed perms
I think i have problem it only show SSH i scanned all the port all of them closed
done
scan every port
also look at the box this author has made in the past
Sounds like someone needs to do more enum
you forgot half the ports
No. I trust him when he said they scanned all. A door can open in two directions.
No spoilers 🙂

Guys Another quick Question Is it worth Replacing windows with Linux?
And i hope this is correct channel to ask for that?
Yes, it's worth it. Use Ubuntu if you are a beginner
#1419019213179326626 but no hints allowed for first 24 hours of box
Why people usually say Use Arch Linux or like that's the best one to use Maybe can somebody explain it to me
Coz it's cool
Because I see it beings said in a lot of places and I have no clue why since I don't really use Linux but planning on switching
Because it actually forces you to learn the OS rather than just providing another OS similar to windows
Could Anyone download it and Use even if u have very little experience?
There's literally no politics at all with arch linux, people just use it as a technology and thats it.
Yeah but you're gonna have to learn as you go
To be Frank, "I use arch btw" is like saying "I am linux pro and have entire control over my pc"
Nah fam, people flex about it
Thats not really political though.
That's not what he meant
Youll never hear any controversial news about arch unless its about cybersecurity.
Arch linux is one of the easier linux distros to build from the ground up, which is why most people recommend it, other distros either require no configuration at all or are compile everything yourself
Oh alright thank ya appreciate that
Arch Linux isn't safe tho
hes saying arch is for skids @scenic maple
So does it work Well With Games and what not and Can you have 2 Linux Running at the same time?
Like let say kali and Arch
A lot of games but not all games, and yes you can dual boot or run Kali in a VM (more recommended)
Heard of black Arch?

Arch will work well for games but you have to understand how the mesa libraries work first.
And pick the right ones.
No what that?
Arch Linux, but for hackers. That's what I've heard.
black arch is the ultimate skid OS
How bout games with kernel anti-cheats? 
Ayyoo, why?
just hack from powershell
The companies who own them wont let you play on arch 
Some people have done it, something about windows vm and river passthrough idk
Aighty so let get this straight You can use Dual boot Linux But How and where does one even Get arch Linux or any like distro For A person who is very new to Linux But Still somewhat intrigued by it
You follow the instructions on the aebsite carefully and install it.
There are yt tutorials about it, helped me install arch
Look up the arch wiki
Nah, some random indian dude is always onspot
Based tutorials, with T accent
until they tell you to install i3 as your wm 
sway superiority
Alright thank ya much appreciated that
I will go take a look at it
Rip
?
You'll see
Nahh, let them learn mate, you don't learn until you brick your pc for weeks at a time like I did

What if he rage quits? 😭
Well if that the case then I won't touch it Because I have Project to do for my school 
Well you should install it from the instructions alone to get used to reading documentation.
Do it on a VM
You can for example learn how to encrypt your hard drive with LUKS(while installing arch)
also look it up
Then he rage quits, mindset is the biggest thing in this industry, if you quit it's not for you
Hmm
At least there's a walkthrough on how to do it, irl ain't noone gonna walk you through pwning their infra
Id recommend this as well
So do it on VM not on your actual machine gotcha
Yeah, realized I didn't make that clear DON'T start how I did and install it on bare metal DO install it on a VM several times before daily driving it
The logo for c is just the letter C in helvetica
I remember in college i used to think both languages were the same.
Yea alright thank ya I will go take a look at it then At arch wiki to See how to do it and will use it on vm and suggested because I don't want to brick up my pc and lose all the files or projects or what not
C/c++ so i would use libraries from both in the same program.
And the worst part is none of my colleagues ever warned me about it.
bro confused me for a whole minute there
I was like: there's another language called c?
Well thanks again everyone much appreciated

such as mobile hotspot

What's this
a box

Helloo
i just buyed hackthebox vip subscription but don't know which machines should i start and how can i approch ? I want to learn as much as fast , effective in one month only .
Want to learn quickly and effectively? Then the Academy might be more suitable. It shows you everything you need to know. Boxes are designed so that you already have a lot of knowledge and then learn specific things.
Yes, i just have 30 days and i need the list boxes that i can solve in thirty days and also there is no filter for vip only machines ,
if you could help me with just how can i prepare my 30 days effectively with best machines
if i were you i would watch ippsec and do it along
That depends on what you already know and what you want to learn. If you don't have much experience yet, take a look at the Starting Point.
i am script kiddie on htb

Planning on being homeless soon? If you're looking to learn about that kind of stuff joey the gypsy has some pretty insightful stuff on youtube
M4eyes user
its the small things in life
Im so cheap that even if i had a quarter million dollars id still only use like 10% of that to get by
Id buy and drive a honda civic from 2000
And maybe put a v8 on it for no reason
Car payments suck. I regret it often.. and now used cars are also expensive
Insert open source car meme
You can get a used camry or corolla for less than 3k
Skill issue
I only spent 2.8k on my prius
I need a car so i can have a headache at autozone
I have one used car with no car payment and one new car with car payment.
Actually i dont need a car i just use my parents
It’s only like 400 a month which isn’t bad tbh
Master strat
I bet you pay rent too
Imagine that!
You can rent a car on uber for a day for 40 dollars
I pay neither 💅
Not even 40 maybe 25 sometimes
I support a full family on a single income im happy but im broke
Clothes? Im so cheap i only buy clothes from burlington
If you have a family then okay makes sense
Honestly the clothes from burlington are 10 times better than most of the things i got on stores at the mall
TJ Maxx is also clutch
Yooooo thats what im talking about
There is some homeless guy getting arrested in front of my gym rn
Idk there are cops everywhere. I just showed up for my shilleagh class and some guy is chimping out
Im just staying in my car til its over
Murica
Whats shilleagh
chimpouts can escalate into dangerous situations 
Check out joey the gypsy hes so insightful. Ive seen a lot of his stuff
He talks about different strategies people have and how some people become so comfortable with it they just acclimate it
I’m trying to pwn expressway, so far I only got the user
Some guys can make 200 dollars a day grandstanding and they have objectively kickass lives
He's a gypsy he can be what he wants
Doing what
For having a succulent chinese meal
Well the baseline is selling water on a hot day but the guy in particular he was talking about was good at drawing caricature portraits
Interesting i didnt think they would have that many clients
Ahhhh
You ever been to new york? There are lots of people who do that
I am still in Linux fundamentals

But its not profitable its just something i do for fun
Who needs the passenger side
I think I need to go through Linux Fundamentals too… I definitely need to go through Windows Fundamentals as well
No need to compromise with music
I find myself going back through both over and over again
I have some pics of my works on an old hdd somewhere if youd like to see them
This morning my pops told me i should become a court officer anyone knows what the hell thats about?

I just bought vip, can anyone recommend a good instructional retired box ? (ping me if you answer)
i have already tried that lol
didnt find anything xd
hey
What are you looking to do?
going good hbu
sundays are for hacking
You want Windows or Linux?
anything as a refresher
@late heron
linux
Hi all, does reaching Hacker rank mean you get access to the free pro labs ? I've done Fullhouse when I paid for access but curious about Solar
i dont think so
you get gif perms
thats all i think
wait does vip not give access to retired machines
I'm trying to do some machines and it tells me to upgrade to vip+
Whatever attack interest you, goto https://ippsec.rocks and search there it will show you those machines
Search utility for IppSec's YouTube videos
thanks
Those are VulnLab machines
how can I sort them
Goto machine tabs and whatever you see will be mostly free (active ones)
I heard guru used to have some platform benefits
Anyone experienced down to do a special CTF with me?
Footage of @lilac cipher
i would use a hammer tbh
Looking good ZQA
