general

[terse dirge]

The only good stuff with Java in my opinion is the ecosystem

[worthy cargo]

@terse dirge may I DM you about something about wazuh?

[eternal mango]

I've only ever messed with Java for small personal projects, Android and CLI, mostly around data processing and pentest tooling.. the jvm comment, do you feel the same about Python? Honestly curious

[thorny shuttle]

forbidden HTB wafers

[terse dirge]

Sure

[terse dirge]

Kinda, when working with a large project it can get annoying to have dependency problems/version conflicts

That's why I've been moving to go

[eternal mango]

That can happen with go too though surely?

[terse dirge]

I get better performance, better code structure, and it enforces good practices

[eternal mango]

I'm no Java Paladin

I just think most languages have their uses 😅 and everyone can have their opinion

I still get flashbacks of that Java applet loading activex plugin for IE mind

That will never leave me

There are things I've done in Java I couldn't have done otherwise due to language compatibility or lack of knowledge, and when that happened I made it work and enjoyed it once I could

But I suppose you could call that a skill issue too 🤣

[terse dirge]

Probably but when you use go it won't take as long to see that conflicting package

[thorny shuttle]

How do you make the sides of the cube not fall out? they dont seem to be connected to the rim?

[eternal mango]

They are the bottom of the coin

[thorny shuttle]

ah got it

[eternal mango]

Made a tool to turn two flat images in to a coin (front/back) with hopes of getting them CNC cut for a thing

[terse dirge]

I think really any language can run you into dependency hell but with go I think it'd be much much faster to find or fix it than in python

[eternal mango]

..but the price was like 90 EUR per cut

Still a good learning experience, but gave up and decided to go with 3D printing and (hopefully) electroplating

[thorny shuttle]

you could buy a semi decent milling machine for that 😄

[eternal mango]

Otherwise I'll just knock down the relief depth and use a laser engraver

Yeah.. could.. and I COULD use it properly.. but would likely just drive the bit in to the base on my first try and waste thousands

[terse dirge]

I really haven't had any good experiences working with anything that's built in Java lol.

Elastic security is slow and performs kinda poorly in containers

Wazuh's performance in containers is even worse

Compile times take forever

[eternal mango]

Elastic's agents are all (or are all moving towards) golang now I believe?

But the core is still Java

(IIRC)

[glacial crane]

different porpuses

[eternal mango]

That is one thing I really don't like about Elastic, balancing resources and config, having to revisit often if your workload is changing a lot

[terse dirge]

Ya, I'm talking about elasticsearch, logstash, and filebeat.

[eternal mango]

logstash..

filebeat..

Old school

Use fleet 😄

[terse dirge]

I'm not sure if kibana is in Java

[eternal mango]

But yeah I know what you're saying

[thorny shuttle]

🫎

[eternal mango]

Nah Kibana is frontend purely

[terse dirge]

Yes, one is for instant legacy code and janky mobile apps while the other is for microservices and stuff that's reliable

[eternal mango]

NFI if a specific framework or what

[terse dirge]

Ya, I'd imagine that kibana is in JS or something

It is in nodejs

Don't get me started on nodejs

[eternal mango]

I won't

because I love node, and you can't change my mind

[terse dirge]

It's almost as bad as Java with reliability

[eternal mango]

...but everything has its place, and everyone can have an opinion

[glacial crane]

you like chess?

[terse dirge]

We use arkime and arkime's API is in nodejs and it's insanely unreliable

[eternal mango]

Previous company I worked with had 95% of their stack in node for one of the largest companies in its sector in the UK

No issues unless we deployed on Friday at 4PM

[terse dirge]

We use arkime for full packet capture and forensics and exporting pcaps in our workflow

[eternal mango]

If arkime's API is unreliable then that's their issue

[maiden anvil]

yes

and I am also trying to get into photolithography

[eternal mango]

Last thing I used Java for was a Baldurs Gate savegame editor on Android for shits and giggles.. and the annotation and introspection features in Java made that a HELL of a lot easier to achieve

[maiden anvil]

but building such a machine is too tough for me

[eternal mango]

and that project was great fun

[terse dirge]

Idk about that, it seems like it's supposed to be reliable because you're doing network forensics while handling a lot of data at the same time.

[glacial crane]

whats you elo

i like chess but im bad in it

[terse dirge]

Suricata is fire tho, I'll have to find a frontend for it so I can do stuff with pcaps instead of dealing with arkime's API

[eternal mango]

I used to work on DPI on HTB data (nothing stored, purely for metadata collection) years ago, like back in 2017-2018 using Python and libpcap

The packetbeat agent from Elastic works so freakin well these days

...but we haven't done any DPI stuff for a very long time at HTB

Firstly I think it's pretty intrusive for our users, and secondly the storage requirements even for a day of data is insane.. even back in 2018 when I last messed with DPI

Even just the barest metadata rolled up in to segments is a shit tonne of data

[terse dirge]

We too broke for elasticshit at work and it's not FOSS so it's not based

[maiden anvil]

currently 1024 rapid

[rustic carbon]

Humble bundle currently have a cyber bundle and it looks pretty good

[eternal mango]

You checked Sumologic?

They drastically changed their pricing models a while ago

No more ingest / storage, only query fees

[rustic carbon]

Should I get it

[terse dirge]

If it's cloud then can't do it. Everything needs to be self hosted

[eternal mango]

We used it at my last position, the query language they had was awesome, but that was like 8 years ago

Fair enough

NFI if they offer self hosted, they were / are primarily service provider.. so I reckon if they did offer self hosted you'll need to start collecting kidneys to pay for it

I remember some static analysis tool we were looking to license self hosted years ago (not with HTB).. when they finally actually gave us a quote, it was six figures... per year..

That partnership died pretty quick after we got the quote 🤣

[warped plank]

Damn, meanwhile we out here struggling to pay for OSCP

[rustic carbon]

I was just looking into some tools that cost too much for me

I asked ChatGPT for books instead lol do it myself

Everything costs so much

[mystic abyss]

Ppl with vip/+

do the challenges have writeups as well?

retired ones

[rose onyx]

Yes

[mystic abyss]

thanks ily ❤️

[quick minnow]

Guys last day for sub, VIP or VIP+ which should i go for ? I dont use pwn box but considering others perks it seems tempting..

[warped plank]

If you can afford it VIP+, otherwise VIP.

Then again they will refund your VIP if you get it now

[quick minnow]

Only one doubt I have, new stuff that will be coming ahead, will it be available in VIP or just VIP+... considering there will only be VIP+ play from tomorrow

[warped plank]

Only VIP+

As I said if you do getVIP they'll just cancel it and refund you

[quick minnow]

getting the VIP+. Thanks @warped plank

[muted olive]

Flashback to one year ago

[meager kernel]

Ewwie

[warm dome]

so is vip annual still purchasable now? or will vip+ only stay for annual purchase whats the situation on that if vip being removed

[warped plank]

Eww

[warm dome]

or will vip be maintained for those who buy annual sub

untill end of annual

[warped plank]

If you buy VIP now they'll likely refund you

[warm dome]

ah so only vip+ would be worth buying for annual then

[warm dome]

also oh shit your aus?

today I learned that major cloud companies like oracle, google, microsoft, and AWS have their own distributions of kubernetes

[green kite]

true story that

[dusky jacinth]

Heheh

[warped plank]

I mean I use it but I still hate it

[dusky jacinth]

I don’t do any serious programming or work that would require me to care about the bloat that much so I really don’t mind

Linux is definitely more fun to use though

[tiny canyon]

i use game trainers because i'm trying to train to get better

[terse dirge]

working on linux is better than windows tbh. Maybe it's because I've been using linux a little longer than I've been using windows daily tho

[warped plank]

The 1 reason I haven't completely just scrapped my windows installation for a NixOS installation is because I play games that hate Linux, *ehem* Riot Games

[dusky jacinth]

I use windows daily for work and my gaming machine is Windows and I use WSL for most personal work, so it’s kinda like km using Linux but 🤷‍♂️

[dusky jacinth]

I feel grateful but overwhelmed

There is so many modules and courses that I need to complete

[supple plume]

yeah htb is amazing

[hardy frigate]

I thought I will be at MalDev Academy by the end of this year but now thats pushed back

Because there is still a lot of cloud for me to master ...

Anyone in the same boat

[supple plume]

I am focusing on web so someday I can be bbh

[hardy frigate]

CBBH is more foundational than CPTS tbh

Because the thing is if you dont understand how web works then u practically dont know how any tools work

Because most tools are working through API calls

And then when u get into red teaming u also need web to understand how to conceal traffic, how to create and manage beacons, how to produce payloads correctly

[supple plume]

yeah

[hardy frigate]

Thats why I started with CBBH and even until now did not complete CPTS

[supple plume]

I think that's a good choice

[hardy frigate]

I went straight to CAPE

Because I'm an infrastructure guy

Bug bounty is not as exciting as red teaming

I'm super excited for the RTO2 which will be getting revamped soon

Then u practically have a neat organized playbook for evading using C2

[heady sage]

Masoud, that BOF I was talking about is done

You can find it on my GitHub

Should plug right into cobalt

[supple plume]

what's your gh

[hardy frigate]

For real thats incredible

Can u send it

[heady sage]

Of course

[hardy frigate]

Btw there is a huge shortage of cloud BOFs

[supple plume]

xd

[heady sage]

I’ll work on some today

[supple plume]

my ass thought bof was buffer overflow

[heady sage]

Additionally you can find some stuff I ported over to havoc on my GitHub as well

[hardy frigate]

Like scanning to see if any cloud credentials are available, any cloud signed in, Teams chats, checkign browser creds for cloud creds, etc.

So this Named Pipe Scanner can confirm for vulnerabilities like print nightmare or something ?

[heady sage]

You can scan pipes and check them manually for vulnerabilities

I’ll see what I can do as far as extending it.

[hardy frigate]

What do I need

To be able to create BOFs effecitively

[heady sage]

You’ll need a COFF loader and a windows C compiler

Oh and a windows VM to test it on

[hardy frigate]

But im not profficient at C

Can I vibe code it

[heady sage]

I’d recomend not to

Learn C my friend

[supple plume]

yeah C is not vibe code material

[heady sage]

Also I did a small class in Typescript the other day

[supple plume]

btw where is that repo

[heady sage]

It’s incredible how efficient it is at quickly creating stuff

[supple plume]

I would like to see how is it going

[supple plume]

oh ok

So it’s taking a small backseat

Nice for you to drop by Aussie @warped plank

[supple plume]

I can give you a small tip

[heady sage]

Oh?

[supple plume]

yeah it may change your entire ass experience coding

[heady sage]

I’m listening

[supple plume]

there are 3 things that allows me to do anything with typescript blazing fast

      '@stylistic/space-infix-ops': 'error',
    },

[river bay]

hi

[supple plume]

setting this I can have the code follow a specific format and let me know of any error the way I want at development stage

on save it formats the code

2. supermaven

a little plugin for vscode that allows me to autocomplete small stuff inline

most of the times is what I wanted to type

3. TDD test driven development

write what you expect your functions to do once, then write the code

if you break something it will let you know that specific edge case you considered moths ago is still working the way you wanted

[heady sage]

Can you send this to me in DMs so I can come back to it later?

Honest question guys

For those who have jobs as red teamers and pentesters

How prepared did you feel walking into your first pen-testing/red team job?

[carmine pecan]

Didn't feel prepared at all but it didn't matter because I knew no one does

Also I had LLMs and Gingseng tea by my side

[dusky jacinth]

I’ve just been having a lot of doubts and need some realistic expectations

[carmine pecan]

Also the CTO is a childhood friend

[dusky jacinth]

Like jr. pentester, what kinda capabilities are we looking at

[dusky jacinth]

The place I’ll be applying to the CEO was the wife of the CEO of the company my dad helped build

[carmine pecan]

Depends on the job, but a Jr Pentester is expected to be able to:

• Write reports on his own
• Conduct a whole (small, not a big network) pentest independetly
• Be able to explain vulns and tools when/if needed

[dusky jacinth]

Gotcha, okay ig that makes me feel better

They won't remove content like that i assume

Htb is one of the least evil corpo I've ever seen

[stone marsh]

I'd assume, they would make it obvious if certain machines will only be available for vip+, like vulnlab stuff. But it would get confusing later down the line

[dusky jacinth]

I see what you did there

I didn’t like it

[ornate ibex]

"least"? so u mean we are evil?

😢

[devout sail]

Corpos by default is

Just like all humans are to other kind
All corpos are to any common man

[devout sail]

I realised after you said it 💀
I don't like you pissboy

[dusky jacinth]

That’s okay

I don’t like me either

I like my puter and that’s it

[devout sail]

Wait that will create paradox

[dusky jacinth]

And women

[devout sail]

Enemy of enemy friend paradox

[scenic maple]

imo htb is one of the kindest corp to its users

[devout sail]

That's what I said 😢

If u flip the kindness leaderboard it's an evil leaderboard
So being 1st in kind or last in evil is the same

[devout sail]

You forgot to add "my" puter and "my" women

[scenic maple]

what if its not his

[devout sail]

[dusky jacinth]

I have no women

I have many puters

thats another league lol

I just cat and copy

[devout sail]

[scenic maple]

keybindings are all fun and games until you get dropped of a vps or ssh where u cant config the machine

thats why sysadmins use default

[ornate ibex]

looks like someone got borked

[devout sail]

Ask your question instead of saying that

[prisma widget]

I have an address that I am testing and I found that the server does not filter the results from the - and _ signs, so I played with it a little and it was like: https://example.com_.ataker.com and the response was 200 and a page about one of the apach servers appeared to me. When I reported it, it was rated p5. Is there a way to raise its rating?

[prisma widget]

ok , i'm new here thank man

[supple plume]

maybe if you can prove some impact

try finding a possible file served that beggins with .

.git

.env

unlikely but if you find it...

[prisma widget]

Can you explain more? I don't understand completely.

[terse dirge]

Check if there're any environment variable files or git repositories in the website

[supple plume]

find something of value that can be useful for further damage

they don't care much about p5

I went full rambo with double SSRF + DNS rebinding once being able to ennumerate the inner network

they told me if I can't prove impact it could be flagged as noisy

advice:

don't report this kind of stuff until you find a solid attack chain that can prove impact

they could fix it before you find something useful and you lose your oportunity to chain that

[prisma widget]

okey i think abot that more thank any more advice
