[meager kernel]

Alrighty

[supple plume]

Same to me the other way

[buoyant wyvern]

just wanted to tell how i felt

[rustic carbon]

yee I could tell its alright

But damn that feels good

Nvm

[worthy cargo]

https://termbin.com/miat is the full error message from pacman

[supple plume]

Just one more rank I think

[rustic carbon]

Point and laugh guys 💀

nah jk

I dont have too

[meager kernel]

One more machine

[worthy cargo]

Pacman won't overwrite files that LFS already has on the system.

I got pacman intalled and running, but it can't isntall any packages

[supple plume]

Whiterabbit is not as hard as it seems IMO

[crude lynx]

and then wait til you do an active box, you'll start to feel the struggle is real

[worthy cargo]

Any idea?

[scenic maple]

u can overwrite i think

but do u want that?

[worthy cargo]

I already tried overwrite "*"

that also fails

[rustic carbon]

How do I find open ports?

with what - on nmap?

[scenic maple]

next u can try rming the files

[meager kernel]

I have 2 more easy active machines left
Artificial and Editor

[crude lynx]

i like artificial

[supple plume]

I don't remember those

[rustic carbon]

[meager kernel]

Sudo nmap -sC -sV -vv -oA [machine name] [machine IP]

[meager kernel]

This is ippsec's command btw

[rustic carbon]

I thought I saw a car brand there

Wtf is all this..

[meager kernel]

The one which he uses

[rustic carbon]

😭

[supple plume]

To find ports just like that

[buoyant wyvern]

actually nmap <target_IP> is the most simpliest one

[obtuse fern]

Google is a useful tool

[supple plume]

You can just do nmap ip

[supple plume]

Exactly

[obtuse fern]

Read the manpages

man nmap in your terminal

[buoyant wyvern]

you don't have to worry about that

[rustic carbon]

I didnt find any openports there

[buoyant wyvern]

where

[crude lynx]

i think there's a module on nmap on htb?

[rustic carbon]

that works 💀

[supple plume]

RTFM

[buoyant wyvern]

local host?

[meager kernel]

Well today I'm gonna sleep early finally

[rustic carbon]

Ye but Im not there yet

HOLD UP LADIES ONE BY ONE I CANT REPLY TO EVERYONE

[buoyant wyvern]

there is actually

[crude lynx]

don't have to follow a specific order

[supple plume]

Everything boils down to RTFM

[meager kernel]

No ladies are gonna ping you

[buoyant wyvern]

?

[obtuse fern]

If youre working on an academy module: #modules is the best place to ask with the module and section youre working on

[meager kernel]

I'm jk

[buoyant wyvern]

@rustic carbon

[rustic carbon]

😭

[obtuse fern]

Its heavily recommended to follow the module order

[crude lynx]

yeah, people are gonna troll here

[rustic carbon]

-sN/sF/sX: TCP Null, FIN, and Xmas scans

I can hack christmas?

[buoyant wyvern]

what does SERIOUS RULE BREAK mean in your profile

[rustic carbon]

Am I gonna be the new gringe?

[meager kernel]

Yes

[buoyant wyvern]

only mainframe

[meager kernel]

You can hack christmas

[supple plume]

Means she is internet police

[rustic carbon]

HAHAHAHA

[obtuse fern]

It means that im part of an elite unit that thwacks down on people breaking rules

[buoyant wyvern]

so just reading old messages?

[obtuse fern]

You know what's a great thing that exists??? Google. :) nmap has a whole book online that puts stuff more in detail

[obtuse fern]

No

[buoyant wyvern]

then what

[obtuse fern]

Literally as shit happens

[rustic carbon]

What's with the passive aggression 🥲

[meager kernel]

Cause you're not taking the advice

And asking the same thing again and again

[rustic carbon]

I didnt ask the same thing again and again..

[obtuse fern]

If you ping the role, then any of the mods with that role show up and smite down whoever needs to be smited

[obtuse fern]

You really are though, youre just not realizing it

[rustic carbon]

when?

Only for the nmap scan and that was it

[obtuse fern]

By repeatedly asking "what is x" even if those 'x' are different, they are relating to the same tool

[rustic carbon]

Where did I say what is x..

[buoyant wyvern]

hmm so if i see someone breaking rules, i call you

[obtuse fern]

https://nmap.org/book/scan-methods-null-fin-xmas-scan.html

[rustic carbon]

I only made a christmas joke 💀

[rustic carbon]

I'll look it up

[crude lynx]

honestly i already forgot what a xmas scan is

[obtuse fern]

If youre curious about an option in nmap, you can usually Google "[optionname] nmap" and it'll pop right up

[thin night]

What a cute fella

So distinguished

[rustic carbon]

Alright you couldve said it a little better before

But thanks

[scenic maple]

bop

[rustic carbon]

appreciate the help

[obtuse fern]

Didn't think id need to clarify how to use google

[thin night]

That's the best use of general channel so far

[crude lynx]

i guess in order to understand different types of scan in nmap, you need to have some understanding on tcp

[rustic carbon]

I mean tone matters..

I didnt talk to you badly

but yeah anyway I'll continue with nmap

[rustic carbon]

Yee that's where I was before

with networking

Silly me

lmao

[obtuse fern]

You really dont need to know too in-depth of how tcp packets work to really understand nmap

And tbh some of the options in nmap are rarely (if ever) used

[supple plume]

Such a good looking car 😩

[rustic carbon]

royalty car

Im lacking again

Imma continue

[scenic maple]

he sees you

[obtuse fern]

The online nmap documentation really puts it together, manpages more or less give you a brief description of the options

[crude lynx]

sometimes it's less about asking for help, it's more about venting how they don't understand the thing

[thin night]

So cute 😢

[obtuse fern]

even on the surface, if you read the docs and still dont understand then you can ask more pointed questions ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Its all about trying to understand the problem you have

"Im getting errors" vs "the error says xyz and I cant find anything about that"

[rustic carbon]

Why are you escelating it?

I said Im done and youre continuing

[obtuse fern]

Im speaking more broadly, not just about you

[rustic carbon]

yeah ok

[obtuse fern]

You're not the only person that's fresh off the boat

[crude lynx]

guys calm down

can't believe i'm modding here

[rustic carbon]

I'm calm it's just that I didnt know asking was such a big deal..

[obtuse fern]

When I first started I barely knew what nmap or apt does, its natural to not know things and ask questions

Its the effort you put in to questions that will determine the effort others spend answering

[thin night]

I think you can see this as a spark of debate instead of someone accusing you, that's how I am seeing it

And I'm sure you will remember nmap xmas perfectly after today xd

[rustic carbon]

HAHAHA

[obtuse fern]

Ids goes brrr

[rustic carbon]

Yee but the thing is that I only asked how to scan open ports and yall were spamming me and I think you misunderstood me saying one by one like I said "Yee tell me more"

[rustic carbon]

Im not complaining its that I think you misunderstood me

[hoary nebula]

https://tenor.com/view/hanavocado-hana-twitch-goth-goth-girl-gif-13213298413092180993

[thin night]

I mean, I have read the whole nmap documentation and explanation from the nmap author on why it "unethical" to use it, lucky me I did it before nmapping someone just for the sake of it

[rustic carbon]

No hard feelings

[obtuse fern]

Sorry for being so rough on you, just a bit jaded from plenty of people that refuse to even look at documentation

[rustic carbon]

It's alright no hard feelings

[thin night]

Sometime looking for something is actually life-saving xd

[half lantern]

why he make it then

[zenith swan]

it's a tool?

[rustic carbon]

Just... dont be too rough next time pls 🥲

Im trynna learn that's it lol

[obtuse fern]

No promises

[thin night]

For sure not to nmap my university or my neighbours

[rustic carbon]

Aight 💀🥀

[obtuse fern]

Ill hurl the big book of windows internals at you next time

[half lantern]

i wouldnt make something that is unethical, and then release it to the general public

[rustic carbon]

btw windows 10 died

[zenith swan]

the tool is not unethical

[rustic carbon]

Well thats sad

[half lantern]

my uni is so insecure, i could change the grades if i wanted to

[obtuse fern]

A tool isnt unethical, its how you use it

[zenith swan]

it's like saying a brick is unethical, because you can use it to smash the window to a store

[glacial crane]

WINDOWS IS PERFECT BECAUSE C# IS

[rustic carbon]

I can’t catch up reading the chat

[half lantern]

im just saying thats what the author said

[rustic carbon]

You lot are typing too fast

[obtuse fern]

I wish we can go back to the windows 7 days

[rustic carbon]

[rustic carbon]

It's kinda like a gun

[obtuse fern]

Simpler and better times

[thin night]

I had Windows 99, that felt so great

[crude lynx]

not windows ltsc

[zenith swan]

no?

[supple plume]

@scenic maple

[lilac cipher]

Windows aero was the best ui design

[rustic carbon]

The support

[thin night]

Love the cat spamming

[rustic carbon]

yee

[obtuse fern]

Windows 3.1

[thin night]

Yeah I'm not that vintage

Would love to see that tho

[half lantern]

almost contemplated it after exams, but i didn't want to start my career as a criminal

[obtuse fern]

I think everyone agrees that Windows ME was hot garbage

[scenic maple]

❤️

[rustic carbon]

Oh that wasnt going for this haha

I meant it for the windows 10

[rustic carbon]

Damn different decisions this year and that coulda been me.

[half lantern]

oops my bad

[rustic carbon]

Fml

[crude lynx]

i like your old pfp more

[rustic carbon]

Btw one last thing before I hop in the box

[rustic carbon]

You wanna fight yeah

[crude lynx]

i almost spelled php lol

[thin night]

Ew

[rustic carbon]

I did java in college it was easier than I thought I think you guys overdramatized it 💀

[rustic carbon]

Stunning

One day I’ll show you my cat

[thin night]

Yeah, Java in college is basically learning how to code and not learning java so not much

[rustic carbon]

good point

Because they say c++ is hard and it was a piece of cake for me

[obtuse fern]

https://tenor.com/view/java-cargo-culting-programmers-are-also-human-bigdecimal-gif-25270283

[thin night]

I studied C, C# and Web development over three years. It was re-learning the same things but for different langues over and over

[rustic carbon]

but when I see live code on the internet I feel my eyes bleeding 💀

[thin night]

Waste of time

[rustic carbon]

So bored I’m watching game development and I swear this guy sounds exactly like FITZ

[obtuse fern]

Languages are only as hard as your unwillingness to learn

[scenic maple]

thats because you didnt use it for anything useful

try using it in prod

[obtuse fern]

Also once you learn one coding language, you can transfer concepts easier

[rustic carbon]

We did the introduction with System.out and the starting things

[thin night]

Now, if you were to learn Rust in college, at least that's something hard to learn, even for the basics

Hate that my uni didn't teach that

[rustic carbon]

Well so far it looks easy

[rustic carbon]

I just wanted to change it. It’s been so long. I felt like it needed an upgrade

lets see how long its gonna take before I need help 💀

[obtuse fern]

Thats the one that uses 'crates' yeah?

[rustic carbon]

Yee enough of my vending shit Im going back to the box

🔥

[rustic carbon]

I wish I could code. I would make so much stuff but I suck

[scenic maple]

dont pick js you will have to learn it every week cause everything just becomes obsolete by the newset js framework

[thin night]

So basically nothing xd, good luck with learning tho, it's fun to learn

[thin night]

Me for fucking real everyday at my job

[rustic carbon]

I need to take note of this.

[obtuse fern]

I started off with an idea, researched it, and made a functional code. I need to update some stuff

[thin night]

Yup

[scenic maple]

🫂

[obtuse fern]

But I eventually learned how to spin up a browser to log in and then save cookies for academy

[rustic carbon]

I wanted to create something a long time ago but I never did it because cli is overwhelming

[half lantern]

Marcie Lee reminds me of adventure time

Marceline OMG

thats the name

[obtuse fern]

So that you can change your vpn location and download your student transcript

[thin night]

At least at the moment I just neet to work with react + electron (worst combination ever)

[obtuse fern]

You cracked half the code

[thin night]

For an application used mainly by not even 10 people in the whole world I believe

Weird stuff, researchers

[half lantern]

what's the other half hahaha

[scenic maple]

wow this man is slowed 10x by just the startup time alone

[obtuse fern]

Same show

[thin night]

I know.

[scenic maple]

imagine waiting 1 minute to see changes

good to be not you

[thin night]

It's even a standalone application, not a web app

[prime heron]

just flaming him

[thin night]

Fr

[half lantern]

OMG Marshall Lee is the male version OMG

[scenic maple]

everything is a web app if you look closely

[half lantern]

that is so smart

[thin night]

Hate coding at this point

[rustic carbon]

@crude lynx sry for the ping but did you get your role by doing retired matchines?

[obtuse fern]

https://tenor.com/view/jake-adventure-time-sucking-sort-of-good-gif-22475109

[muted olive]

you learnt public static void main(){} and System.out.println(), now try learning applets and EJB

[crude lynx]

active ones

[scenic maple]

mark my words in the future you will play games in your browser there wont be any owning games

[rustic carbon]

ah ok got it ty

And I'm not even outside university, 2+ years of experience and still considered a Junior since I'm still studying

[muted olive]

[prime heron]

ok bet

i doubt it

[obtuse fern]

You dont gain points/rank off retired machines

[crude lynx]

i did 2 medium and 3 easy ones

[thin night]

Well we already do not own anything since we don't buy discs anymore

[rustic carbon]

We'll see 💀

[scenic maple]

webGpu api is already there it gives browser direct access to gpu

[prime heron]

people with consoles might

[scenic maple]

only issue is storage

browsers have hard storage caps

[hoary nebula]

https://tenor.com/view/bruce-almighty-jim-carrey-group-text-when-you-havent-checked-long-gif-15696357

[prime heron]

yea but the thing is there is so much support to have games as running processes, why would browser games become so mainstream

[thin night]

Yeah but most people prefer nowadays to buy digital versions because games are cheaper

At this point I'm gonna build multiple Nas's

Damn how do you pronounce the plural of NAS

[scenic maple]

cause browsers are cross platform

and its already installed

everything is closed source and on the server anyway

so makes sense to take the whole thing in browser

[prime heron]

this is the only game ik on browser

that isnt coolmath

[obtuse fern]

Oh boy let me play this disc I just bought 80 GB update on 100Mbps download speed

[thin night]

Man you missed a lot in the last 5 years

[prime heron]

seems reasonable

[obtuse fern]

Very much so

Or you buy the case and its just a digital download key and no disc

[rustic carbon]

So as nmap is scanning how are your guy's day today?

lol

[muted olive]

tfw Runner.prototype.gameOver=function(){};

[muted olive]

It took me 25 mins to download 25 mb

Hi guys how are you?
Sorry guys, did someone finish the lab of Linux Information Gathering? Because I'm having some problems for completing it...

[muted olive]

vacation?

[supple plume]

Doctor appointment xd

[unreal phoenix]

I'm at the point where you have to use wpscan, but everytime I launch it, it never scan and says aborted out of time...

[supple plume]

Do you launch it through your machine with vpn or inside yhe pwnbox

[muted olive]

for that, just C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\csc.exe -target:exe -optimize -out:RunasCs.exe RunasCs.cs

[unreal phoenix]

I tried yet both

[muted olive]

For your next vacation, I recommend UAE

best vacation spot on earth

[supple plume]

What is UAE

[muted olive]

united arab emirates

[nimble tundra]

FIREBALL !!!!

[supple plume]

Is the target ip the right one

[nimble tundra]

lol

[nimble tundra]

the country where dubai is located in

[supple plume]

Why do you like it?

[unreal phoenix]

Yes it is

[muted olive]

Dubai is awesome

[supple plume]

And the port?

[unreal phoenix]

Never been there, but everyone says it's awsome

[mystic harbor]

Fr

[muted olive]

Or as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words

I've been there twice, its amazing

[oblique breach]

Not what we are told in the nordics 😛

[supple plume]

You can share screenshot or smt so maybe we can help

[unreal phoenix]

I use this line: wpscan -e p --url https://(here the ip of the machine) --disable-tls-checks --no-banner --plugins-detection passive -t 100

[muted olive]

not good if you're working there LOL

but if you're vacationing, definitely go for it

[supple plume]

I see

Do you have the domain in /etc/hosts ?

And can you access with the browser without https?

[unreal phoenix]

What you mean? I don't think so, because I use it after connecting through FTP and getting the wordpress file

[unreal phoenix]

Yes

[supple plume]

Ok so maybe try adding the url without protocol to etc hosts and run it with --url http:// and remove the argument about tls

[unreal phoenix]

let me check

[mystic harbor]

@scenic maple

[scenic maple]

https://tenor.com/view/cats-gif-24765849

[supple plume]

Dont put the ip on --url http:// put the base url, in etc hosts put the ip a space and the base url

Before or after you see it working take a look on internet what is the etc hosts about

[unreal phoenix]

Ok

Thanks now I'll try

[supple plume]

Do a picture of a mean bald cyclops without T-shirt smoking a cigar sitting in a beach chair next to a horse playing saxophone and wearing a hat. They are sitting in a meteorite and behind them it should be the earth and the moon

Now we got something!

[restive umbra]

im in a complex situation where someone wants me to join their openvpn (which is connected to their home), they have created an open vpn profile for me and asked to join it when im logged to my home wifi. ofc im not going to do it, but how can i permanently delete the profile?

lmao what

dont join it

[supple plume]

Brrrrrrrrrr wth

[restive umbra]

of course but how do i delete the account?

delete the file?

[restive umbra]

where do i find it? im on windows?

[supple plume]

A guy in a tuxedo riding a unicorn through a rainbow tornado while proposing to his partner who’s standing on top of a giant pizza — confetti cannons, flying cats with laser eyes, and the words “WILL YOU MARRY ME???” made of clouds. Insanely colorful and over-the-top.

[oblique breach]

Did you download the config from academy? and got it saved?

[oblique breach]

Not as funky as hoped

[restive umbra]

he didnt download anything

he just logged a profile he created

[hoary nebula]

can you be like specific?

wdym logging in

[supple plume]

This is confusing

[hoary nebula]

WHAT HAPENED

[graceful pendant]

The fuck is this story I’m
Reading with my eyes

[restive umbra]

he logged into an openvpn profile he specifically created for me

[oblique breach]

What about

Cow wearing sunglasses doing a kickflip over the moon, freeze-frame ‘EPIC WIN’ style.

[supple plume]

I'm reading with my ass

[oblique breach]

You guys read? 😮

nerds

[supple plume]

But from his machine or your machine

[restive umbra]

from MY machine

[supple plume]

He was ther physically or remotely

[oblique breach]

I'm still not sure what the problem with openvpn is? who is trying to wack who?

[hoary nebula]

wait so this guy vpn into you machine, did you give him your vpn?

[restive umbra]

no no

[oblique breach]

Just close the tunnel 😛

[restive umbra]

lemme explain again

[restive umbra]

physically

[hoary nebula]

where u from

[oblique breach]

New idea throw it out the window?

[restive umbra]

he has an openvpn at home okay?

he has a whole system at home

[supple plume]

Bro

You leaked your ip

What system

[restive umbra]

he, then, created an openvpn account for me that is connected to his openvpn

[thin night]

I think it would be better if you take a couple of minutes and explain all the story from the beginning, including the actors involved

[restive umbra]

ok it’s a professor and he did that at university

[hoary nebula]

@restive umbra how old are you bro

[oblique breach]

106 u?

[supple plume]

-3

[oblique breach]

Love the ADD vibe of this channel 😄

[restive umbra]

yannick, just help out 🙏🏼 i believe in that

[eternal mango]

I is fine

[oblique breach]

So now he explains?

fair @hoary nebula what does @restive umbra mean?

[restive umbra]

yes

[hoary nebula]

I have no idea

[oblique breach]

We believe in you

[hoary nebula]

just dont use the vpn account?:

[eternal mango]

Ok listen, if you uninstall openvpn you won't be connected to his vpn that's all, don't worry about profiles

[graceful pendant]

g0blin on his Indy game playtester arc

[hoary nebula]

Im having flashbacks when I was IT support and I had to troubleshoot will so less informationm

[supple plume]

Uninstall or disable

[restive umbra]

so my university professor wanted to see some network traffic or something. he basically took my computer and added an account on openvpn just for me. that vpn is hooked up to his vpn and his whole system at home.

[thin night]

But what if it is needed to study at the university

[thin night]

This is even weirder

[oblique breach]

Love those days!

"It won't work"

[supple plume]

Big time

[hoary nebula]

ah disable the vpn

down right

[restive umbra]

ok but why would he do that???

[eternal mango]

I think my playtime on other games in similar theme got me the seat in the playtest.. who said playing games didn't get you anything

[supple plume]

Ask him

[oblique breach]

MITM 😉

[restive umbra]

and how do i delete the profile he created?

[restive umbra]

he can do more than that…

[hoary nebula]

There is no profile

just disable

[restive umbra]

ok, i’m not familiar with openvpn

[oblique breach]

Just remove openvpn and you are fine 😉 Again you have to connect to it yourself

[thin night]

Was squeezing my brain so hard to understand what youngster term it could have been

[supple plume]

I hope you didn't enter your credentials anywhere while connected to the vpn

[restive umbra]

he didnt

[supple plume]

You

[oblique breach]

No you did 😉 Not him

He is watching everything

[hoary nebula]

disable it here

[thin night]

Bro is giving paranoia

[lilac cipher]

Jesus Christ

[restive umbra]

it’s all university data though???

[oblique breach]

We all see it or just me? 😛

[hoary nebula]

im not religious

[lilac cipher]

Why so many programs

[thin night]

He has a life?

[supple plume]

So if you're connected to a vpn everything you do on internet goes through the vpn

[thin night]

Let the man have 100 running programs 🙏

[oblique breach]

Wrong question, why windows?

[hoary nebula]

I mean haha its aight

[lilac cipher]

No i bully him

[restive umbra]

i didnt do anything while he connected the vpn

[lilac cipher]

CLOSE EM

[eternal mango]

Why not

[thin night]

Love it, please do it to me as well

[lilac cipher]

you don't need valorant's launcher open

[hoary nebula]

I dual booted into windows today

[supple plume]

While the machine is connected

[thin night]

Lol wrong message, it was this

[hoary nebula]

I dont have valorant

[oblique breach]

Defender is against everything I do 🙁

[eternal mango]

Hahah

Fair

[oblique breach]

Even deletes my notes...

So screw defender 😛

[thin night]

Way to go defender

[eternal mango]

Is the TLDR here, someone gave someone a VPN config file and they are concerned?

[thin night]

Yeah basically

[oblique breach]

yep

[hoary nebula]

professor installed a vpn on bro's computer

[oblique breach]

Someone wanna watch him 😛

[hoary nebula]

bro's freaking out

[eternal mango]

Then disconnected the VPN, delete the config and uninstall OpenVPN, simple as, as people have said

[thin night]

Professor is either kinky, dumb or a criminal

[eternal mango]

But.. a prof installing a VPN on your computer, sounds pretty uhh.. weird

[sturdy thistle]

Finally back in Germany

[eternal mango]

Why did he need to install a VPN

[supple plume]

The vpn goes through professor's home server

[sturdy thistle]

Well the real question is

[oblique breach]

Not the sharpest tool in the shead, could be easier with a reverse shell 😛

[hoary nebula]

its idd weird

[sturdy thistle]

Meetup when

[eternal mango]

Yeaaaah... that sounds sketchy as fuck

[hoary nebula]

@restive umbra

[restive umbra]

he bought a whole setup at uni and everyone is connected to it while pen testing

[sturdy thistle]

I would also uninstall it

[eternal mango]

Just remove it and move on @restive umbra, but discuss with them and if needs be other faculty / student support

[sturdy thistle]

Maybe the prof logs stuff

[eternal mango]

That is definitely not usual behaviour

Unless it's to target their lab or something I guess?

But even so.. weeeird way of doing it

Did they explain why the VPN? Surely they did?

[thin night]

I mean why should he flex this lol, if not needed during classes he would have used a VM on your PC's

[eternal mango]

Sure.. but not every student may have a laptop / pc that can run a large testing lab

So it may well be legitimate part of the course

[thin night]

Could be

[hoary nebula]

or ask the proffessor instead a discord channel

why the vpn

[eternal mango]

Yeah

[restive umbra]

he has a whole server running at uni lol

[thin night]

I think that he should ask for more information, it's weird to basically have such thing in a student pc

[eternal mango]

That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it @restive umbra

[rustic carbon]

I just dropped a charger on my toe

[oblique breach]

Where u from? 😛

[eternal mango]

Like we said, is it to access a testing lab or something?

[hoary nebula]

wait a minute you are a genshin impact player EWWWW

[oblique breach]

What is that? 😮

[restive umbra]

🙏🏼🙏🏼 i’m sorry, what do you like?

[eternal mango]

Surely you know why they want you on the VPN? What routing table records does it add?

[oblique breach]

Like Pokemon?

[eternal mango]

Likely it's just for a private subnet for a lab to be used as part of the course

But it's good to be curious

[oblique breach]

And we are telling him to nuke it 😛 Will be a fun monday

[eternal mango]

I mean.. context is king

and we don't have that context

[sturdy thistle]

Maybe figure out before suggesting to uninstall random stuff

[oblique breach]

I would ask the professor before nuking 😛

If he's shady nuke it

So many green cubes, plane landed? 😄

[eternal mango]

Asking once more.. did the professor say what the VPN was for @restive umbra ?

[sturdy thistle]

Yeah

[hoary nebula]

I bet he didnt even asked

[oblique breach]

Welcome to the ground!

[eternal mango]

Because honestly, it sounds like access to a lab of machines pertaining to the course

[restive umbra]

ok

[sturdy thistle]

Let’s stay on the topic now before we’re chatting

[restive umbra]

network traffic

[eternal mango]

What?

[supple plume]

That is like saying: internet

[sturdy thistle]

Did he told any more detail?

[wind knot]

just go play fortnite wth

[hoary nebula]

OMG BRO can u speak like with more words

[oblique breach]

You should have been here earlier, daiting advices and DIscord to IP all over the place

[eternal mango]

That doesn't explain anything, "install this because of network traffic".. what did the prof actually say?

CRAP pizza still in oven

[hoary nebula]

burned pizza

[eternal mango]

Hope it's not burnt

[hoary nebula]

[sturdy thistle]

Yeah

The bearded one right

[hoary nebula]

why am I co-host

[eternal mango]

yeah

[supple plume]

The dating stuff is so boring

[oblique breach]

The fight took looooong

[sturdy thistle]

But I think she was also there last time

[oblique breach]

Did they stop or got kicked? 😛

[eternal mango]

Maybe? I can't remember

[sturdy thistle]

I think she was

[supple plume]

I would be fine if they can move all that bs to another server

[sturdy thistle]

Got robbed with dessert

[eternal mango]

Nuts

[sturdy thistle]

Cause I wasn’t able to hear her

[eternal mango]

Or lack of nuts for you
