maybe depends on how urgent you are to need a job. if you can wait, do ctf stuff on the site to keep your skills sharp while you keep looking. if you need to take any job because money's tight, do that, and still focus on your skills while you can and keep looking for that dream job.

that sounds painful 😭

#

yall go to the gym?

opal smelt
#

xrays of my feet show that theyre in a zig zag shape. toes point one direction, middle of foot goes another direction, heel goes back in the direction of the toes

#

ive been on n off in the gym for just over 4 years, been doing martial arts for just over 4 years too

agile thunder
#

cool

#

which martial art do you do?

opal smelt
#

kenpo karate. i had started trying out judo recently but my sciatica only let me get thrown around for one week before flaring up

agile thunder
#

oof

#

never heard of sciatica before but google is telling me that it looks painful

opal smelt
#

the worst flare up i have had started as a pinpoint of pain on my spine, just the tiniest little dot of pain that i couldnt get to go away, and it ended up with me being crippled for 3 days on the floor, and that first night and a half i had this sensation of something squeezing my spine for a few seconds putting me into intense paralyzing agony, then it'd slowly relax and i could move a few feet, then it'd squeeze again

hoary nebula

he is 337 years old

opal smelt
#

lol

#

im in my 40s

#

i remember thinking lying on my bed might help relax it, but it didnt work, so i went to get out of bed, but i couldn't do that either, it took me like 25 minutes to get off my bed

#

one xray showed a partially degenerated disc

#

its gotten a lot better over the years as ive been working out tho, which is nice

#

but it still gets tight and painful, and sometimes i need a day off work

#

but i havent been cripped by it in a couple years, the time between crippling episodes gets longer and longer

#

yeah. an old boss of mine once called me an enigma, that might still be fitting lol

so someone (or people) boosted the server to reach that minimum

ah

they also had the server tag set up, but lost it, apparently server boosts disappear? that's madness

obtuse fern
#

yes

but i guess it's basically a monthly subscription model

You should write a book about that

I'll do one better and make a blog post about it kek

#

books are good. many of them, especially programming books, contain exercises and challenges for practice.

#

reading over some dull technical manual that doesn't explain things doesn't help a lot of people

#

especially if you're brand new to programming or something, telling someone int is a data type doesn't really help them if they don't know what a data type is

Hi

meager sage
#

hey @everyone, i've been a lurker for a few months now and apologise that this is my first real message to you all. much as i'd like to, i won't make this message long, it's not up to any of you to help me with what i'm currently going through - so i'll keep it short. i'm a severely depressed, unemployed, cybersecurity student, with a baby due in March. i see no place for me in this world, but i try everyday, for the sake of my loved ones, but mostly because i'm too weak to do "anything" about it. i am in my second to last semester, but am needing to look for a job during Christmas break to be able to support my soon-to-be child. I don't know what to do or where to begin and am hoping you guys had some pointers on how I can make myself competitive in a short amount of time. Thanks, and sorry again.

hi, can anyone tell me which module would cover 2 step / page login for a website account as its the main area within web pentesting that i haven’t really cover / learnt? and any other resources or videos that could help (i use hydra but open to using other tools if thats what is used through HTB etc)

inner vine
#

Hi everyone! Can someone help me please 🥹 🥲
I’m doing an internal pentest. I have a domain account and a dedicated domain-joined workstation. All physical ports and network ports on that workstation are locked; internet access from the workstation goes only through a corporate proxy. AV/EDR blocks any dropped files immediately; WinRM is not accessible remotely (only local execution works). I once used a locally-hosted server exposed via localtunnel to download WinPEAS, but it yielded nothing useful and the IP was quickly blacklisted. I collected ACLs with RustHound but I’m stuck and can’t build an attack path in BloodHound. Based on this, what practical techniques or data sources should I try next to escalate from this account/host in a tightly locked domain?
