Weird
wait a bit when the bot is backup it will do that
Coincidence
bot isnt working rn
what u mean "Weird" that makes zero sense
no you will have it back ngl when bot is back up
hackmybox
Also, Leslie fits you better
jfc just watching fpv drone footage is making me feel the motion sickness
but I WANT to experience it
but you cant fly yet
Maybe i have to many mental disorders 😔✋🏻
only once tho
i saw much videos about it and its insane
makes sense 💀
It looks fun
water jet ski is an option
We thought they had jet skis at the meetup
but it was off season 🙁
so no jet skis
It got patched
very much sadge
Can hire them down in Folkestone though I think
so will go give it a go there
U want a drone?
Ah, i c
Boys and toys 🤣
Y not build it urself
Because while it's something I've messed with before, my time is needed elsewhere
🧐 hmm intresting
yeah like changing usernames 💀
I'm not a mod, jackass
yeah thank god lmao
Wat does a staff do
You should really find a better use of your time.. I'm gonna spend two seconds of mine blocking you again I think
thats too much time for you to take no?
Let’s not be dicks guys come on
Okiedokie, sorry
Thnx 😊
obvious isn't it?
wait wait
yea he's not breaking rules
If you have an issue shoot us a dm
No need to keep dragging it out
Hackster says otherwise
oh the bot
You literally were named HackThebox
yea its not very intelligent
supporting the community, good man @high oxide 💪
good to see it
fr
Perhaps they should change it to 67 🤔
this is the dumbest thing i've ever seen a mod do probably
I was 90% from pro-hacker, I check back an hour later and it drops to 87% as I was about to finish a box 
Damn
I just now joined
And made ops

lmao
When boxes retire, their points do not count towards completion percentage
So close 🙁
yeah they are just braindead sometimes i dunno
Get auto modded 
free @proud shore
Everyone has their moments
It’s part of being human
honestly strange to see on hack the box
the thing is my points dropped for no reason? I was 87% yesterday too, the box I did gave points though.
New box just came out recently
As in a few hours ago
Ohh, I see, thanks for that, didn't realise thats how it worked ^^
I haven't been doing much HTB tbh
same
Yeah, every Saturday a new box is released and one retires
So if you had done the retired one it’d drop
i had to stop HTB otherwise i was risking mental hospitalization
I did Linux from scratch this week and now I'm chillin
will resume next month
gotcha, cheers for that ^^
What's linux
How was it
Hell
the opposite of windows
Understandable
I had to recompile my kernel like 3 times and I had to redo the entire thing once because my chroot crashed while I was stripping binaries and libraries
Lunix is a virus made by linus torvaldsikov
what they don't want you to know
I installed pacman on it tho and it kinda works
Learn something atleast?
Now try templeos
Ah i c
bro is cooked
Yes, that Linux from scratch sucks and to not install a package manager on it.
Skill issue
I also messed up my host's grub because I was configuring the lfs grub outside of a VM environment
Very much is
I dont know much about LFS what did you have to do?
So that was fun to fix at 2am, thankfully void has an xbps command for fixing everything on your system
Does it run on hope n prayers 
Like how much more compared to arch
With arch, you're installing it. With Linux from scratch you're building and installing
That means researching patches that are out of date, setting proper options for your kernel configuration, compiling everything.
hi
You were the last person to think that would say something like that 💀
Well damn
But theres some kind of pre install environment where you do this?
I too am hip with the kids
I can rizz the skibidi
Ok boomer
tf?
Yes, you have a VM that has the proper requirements to start
@proud shore dm'd you if u can look at that
he's timed out
I had you as that blunt staff/mod and now you completely changed my prespective 
Thats a compliment btw
I used an Ubuntu VM with a more updated version of a package
It was I think bin utils or something
Mimicking gen alpha is cheugy af
is HTB good for pen testing to like learn the fundementals and then after also learn till ur intermediet and then js learn on ur own?
Depends on the mood / how people are behaving that day ngl 😂
yeah forgot i can't drop the R word here, mb
I had to build them from source because trashbuntu doesn't like you changing essential packages
Yeah real
Raytracing
Personally i never change how i talk to people based off my mood
I could have the worst day and speak like i do now
Fair
your mistaking emma for another staff member
RIP MTV
Because at thr end of the day no one deserves to be treated bad because of your bad day.. thats my mentality
Who?
Except cyclists
I mean there’s a difference between treating someone bad and just being more blunt
Yeah true
the sideeye emoji is blocked?...
Some people misunderstand them
Shouldn’t be
sideeye
@proud shore stop modding kid
Masked links are blocked
Since they’re mostly™ used by scammers etc
It just cuts out alot of crap blocking them
Some people eat toast with the butter side facing down
oh also this is not blocked anymore
Emma are you planning to add virus analysts in htb job roles??
No idea
@distant wolf™ can™ you™ get™ in™ vc™ for™ the™ new™ box™?™
Idc about the embed fail thats me 💀
this makes me sad
Did you see my message about that game Ceald? Up your street at all?
Got two invites left, but not many of the people I have on Steam are active any more lol
someone knows how to bruteforce a known user in wordpress using xmlrpc.php? is for the fortress that has wordpress
I haven't checked steam yet, thanks for letting me know
Ah I just mentioned here on Discord
/google wpscan
so how do i hack the world
oh
I know wpscan but I don't know how to bruteforce properly, I don't want to go 1 by 1
That's kinda how you bruteforce
so pinging a ip is like a ddos right??
you have to say a lot of "please" and "thank you"
use wpscan and choose the xmlrpc method if the POST request to /xmlrpc.php was 200, then use -U nad -P flags to pass the user and pass wordlists
Trying passwords and usernames one by one from wordlists or discovered usernames
wpscan, hydra, ffuf etc
They just help automate it
I don't think I have seen your messages about it
I'll try that
You're welcome
wpscan will also try to enumerate other things which potentially you don't want when you bruteforce, but for that just restrict the enumerate flags and choose only u
Hmm.. could've sworn I messaged here Ceald 😅 Can't find it either, one sec

A LOT
just wishlisted
nice
yes please
Invite sent 🙂
It's so clean, can't believe it's just in play test phase for how nice it plays
thanks
it looks really cool
what in the hell happened lmao
sorry to ask again but how do I choose the xmlrpc method? the site has xmlrpc enabled
I can't find it in the docs of wpscan and I tried googling
wpscan --url https://[TARGET_WEBSITE]/ -U '[EXPOSED_USERNAME]' -P 'rockyou.txt' --password-attack xmlrpc --random-user-agent something like this
yeah no prob
Hey @eternal mango im working with my university's cybersecurity department to potentially do a big group buy of htb vip+ subs for students is there a way we can manage this without trusting individual students with payment information?
if wpscan launches some unwanted enumeration you can try restricting them if only bruteforce interests you:
wpscan --url [URL] -U [users.txt] -P [pass.txt] --enumerate dbe --detection-mode aggressive --password-attack xmlrpc
Uhhh, best bet would probably be to reach out to our sales team tbh
Okay
While you're not looking for Enterprise it sounds like, they may be able to advise and help all the same
Arrangements can be made, but don't quote me on that
That'd be for sales to say for sure 😅
yeah sales is better for this
Okay ill look into that
Where is the hercules channel?
Anyone here know about networking?
what do u wanna know?
Everything
damn, better buckel up then
ChatGPT explains every single networking topic, but be concise, use no more than 3 paragraphs
Hey guys, what is the best tool to find subdomains ?
Manual
subfinder with -all flag and all API keys set
Ffuf or gobuster + seclists?
HSRP. I have two routers and both are connected to their own switch. For some reason they are not seeing their own hello messages. Having two switches shouldn’t matter right? If I have Etherchannels trunking
So two switches, two routers
Config seems fine
u using cisco?
Yeah, doing packet tracer
No, I looked at the trunking summary it seemed fine
I don’t know, I’m suspecting it might be a trunking issues also, just weird
what does show vlan [ID] on both switches show?
+9
I have my PC off. I gave up
aight ahahah
Thanks anyway
hahah nmap with --script=vuln automatically finds users from a wordpress
yikess, that flags looks good on paper but i would avoid it if possible
trunk deez
The master
I’ll trunk you
give me admin hash for hercules thx
"Maybe i will get a job in cyber!!"
The competition: ZQA
i am no competition
ZQA is one of the smartest person i ever know
he is just OP
op at being dumb
why don't i have user then on hercules 🤡
hunter2
thx im in
falcon had insider knowledge
in greece he peaked at the content engineer releasing hercules and saw him typing in hunter2
Hello 🤗
Can confirm I was near the engineers
Office is pretty swank
yo btw i am hearing strange noises from my living room, is that you?
Can I learn cybersecurity in platform?
If a dragon is an earth dragon is it brown or green. Me and my kid are debating over this dragon I’m using for a game.
i enjoy lando norris crashing into a wall
Green
Yeah that's the whole point of htb
Oh earth, brown
Nice
Hi 👋
Or just make your kid happy and go with the color they state
aah yes, truly a sports moment
hol up u into F1??
i need max to win wdc
damn crazy call
insane
Wats that?
elite for a reason
Which is better, i found one website called tryhackme, and one hackthebox
well
in htb people are gonna say portswigger

What can you tell me about ip addresses
they're 32 bits divided in 4 octets
Cool
I read something about ban, that when a server bans you, its ip ban or something
Is it true?
On reddit
LOL
Yes or no?
IP bans is common
https://portswigger.net/bappstore/2eb2b1cb1cf34cc79cda36f0f9019874 do this to bypass IP bans
Bypass: IP spoofing OR VPN
Have anyone of you tried it before
thats unethical bro imma ban you for that
Spoofing lol, useless for most things if you're talking of at the packet level
I was just watching cloud village 33 a chinese guy was spoofing his IP through some weird relay sheme
Certainly no good for avoiding bans
He made his IP 1.1.1.1
Wow, really
Think about it
You send packets with the source IP modified
Where is the target going to respond to?
So if someone is ip banned then they can't come back to the server again?
I'm not talking about Discord bans or whatever
what does this have to do with hackthebox
I'm just talking about the topic of spoofing
Oh my bad
Spoofing IP addresses can be used for other purposes, especially amplification ddos methods
But in the majority of cases, spoofing the IP on your traffic by modifying the packet headers etc is useless
Happy to be corrected, but that's my understanding
How long have u been studying this
25+ years
Damn
almost as long as he's been growing his beard
Of course there are other topics like ARP poisoning relating to causing traffic to be directed to the attacker, instead of the actual desination
Yeah, well over 25 hah
but I'm no expert
Security is a hobby
..and the best thing is to learn you are wrong about something, and to be taught the truth
What about vpns
This is what I was referring to
R they secure?
define secure
Damn
Like my data is my data, type shit
No other company can see it
Interesting, I'll definitely need to go watch that to get full context
all that VPNs are is a 2nd ISP
I see
Hard to tell what that's about entirely from one slide
So many recordings from Defcon dropped recently
https://forum.hackthebox.com/ It's down?
One day, my feed was just Defcon lol
So what is the point of ip banns if people can use vpn and come back, I don't understand
Yes, the Forums are discontinued, and have been read only for quite some time
90% of websites on the internet use HTTPS which means that no one can see the data being sent to and from the website other than yourself and the website. People can still see what websites you're visiting tho like your ISP or VPN provider
Wasn't aware of them being taken completely offline like that
(I visited them earlier today, so could be a supplier issue)
Ohh
Error 1033 Ray ID: 990af1c4e498dd7a • 2025-10-18 20:56:48 UTC
Cloudflare Tunnel error
I wish I had time to watch all of the defcon releases
Yeah, visited forums around 1900 UTC today and they were working
So many videos
Any hacking today?
Yeah, I saw
hercules no ping very busy
there was an attack on the defcon meshtastic mesh during defcon
trying here
nodes were getting renamed and impersonated
being defeated by a stupid wordpress...
@terse dirge what about this, any reason or any view?
Anyway, I've mentioned forums to the team
I'm pretty sure a lot of games would just not let you play if you're using a VPN
Best effort
There's always ways to evade bans in most cases
You do the best you can with what you have
I was referring to discord
U did 
I didn't
damn bro evading bans
Im kidding
the ban can be done based on you ip and your persisted authentication data
means your user
so if you use vpn and create another user in any game you should be able to play
sometimes some apps block entire vpn ips tho
seeesh
I was joking
Maybe you should read the rules next time
Damn
is this fr?
lmaoooooooooo what in the HELL

God damn how long is that race going on for
oh no sprint race is a smaller race, now is qualifying for the grand prix
Gotcha gotcha 🙂
zqa in grand prix when?
you have 1 year
eh, not bad
true
and then my battery blows up
and i have 50% less power
just better to get into formula e at that point
ZQA drives electric?
sometimes i wonder how old is ZQA, has to be between 17 and 52 somewhere
not a great guess
i say 19
ill tell you for 24$
😄
i was so happy when both papayas went out in sprint
ayo
unfortunately they fixed the cars 
nice
I have a funny story. I got a new watch yesterday and tried it on to see how it fit. It's comfy so I keep it on when I go to bed. I wake up a couple of times during the night and check the time. I'm noticing that it's getting pretty late but it's my day off and I don't mind sleeping in. Finally it's like 5pm and I feel like a lazy POS. I crawl out of bed and then I realize what has happened. I never set the watch so it is like 4 hours ahead of actual time 
try sudo rdate -n [WATCH]
You mean I can’t just responder/certipy/kerberoast my way to DA in every environment???
hardened environment meaning like win server 2025 stuff
Maybe every $trainingPlatform, but we all know academia lags behind real life
where impacket stops working? i've had to customize impacket to use it in some assessments but only twice or some shi
real life AD is some next level shi
i got so much to learn damn it
yeah it's cool
real-life web is not so different from ctf compared to AD
I once watched a consultant use impacket, which spawned a child process of svchost or something. In response crowdstrike killed all svchost child processes, including real services. It shut down the network for a few mins until the system was restarted lol
Try ProLabs
bro? lmao
holy hell what the...
crowdstrike needs to chill a bit??
killing svchost lmao half of windows processes use that shi as child you gonna kill the whole OS 💀
Or let’s not forget about people ctrl+c-ing impacket sessions without knowing that leaves orphaned services running on the target which have to be manually cleaned up 😆
Neither did I
who cares just leave it there

lmaooo 🤣
psexec DoS
i want moneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey

Yes
Where is it then
Wherever they want it to be if they believe in it
Us Gingers apparently have to earn our souls over our lifetime through deeds, instead of waking up with it from the start
Your souls are joined for eternity, and you will be together forever
Bloody silver spoon souls from the start lucky sods
? what
?
?
That's a common saying right
that Gingers don't have souls
So I just twist it to say we earn ours through action, instead of just being granted it
😅
Maybe a few centuries ago lol
Well, it's still common here
hmm cool
spooooon
What's up next @hardy frigate
It seems like something that would exist in Tolkien's world
What, Gingers?
We are VERY real
the lore about gingers
its fake
I have a very dangerous photo
g0blin must be an AI
of two Gingers in one place
impossible
i also saw 2 gingers in greece recently lol
its g0blin
I know of one other actually in HTB
ask with here ping
I doubt she's on Discord tbh 😅
Sooooooooooooo 98% of the total number of gingers in the world are here
IMPORTANT QUESTION
There are more of us than you think... we move in the shadows, you will only notice when it's too late. The world will be ours
g0blin... I actually...
I'm...
Mick went to ask a question and disappeared like magic
Right
Mick you need help?
it is the ginger question g0b needs to ask on slack 😛
Oh one sec

i'm curious too @eternal mango
About zee Gingers?
An orange hedge is approaching.
its only midnight
yeee
Straight injections of caffeine
Mickhat always drinks coffee
...until the bar staff cut him off
I mean think of all the benefits 😄 you get to eat a lot for free, and survive the cold weather, and be immersed in nature
when did i turn into mickhat
first it was me being bald
your name sounds like an orc name from warhammer 40k
now im mickhat 
You didn't
I was just referencing Mickhat coffee travesty
oh gotcha
ill drink mine for you
then i had to switch to beer
I'm Mickcap
so i drank beer from sunday to thursday on
man, thats crazy
I mean... how does your body handle it? lol
this guy forklifts
beer tastes bad i dont know how people drink it like crazy
it's in my DNA
ah you must be irish

I dont drink alcohol but i'll gladly try it one day i heard its sweet
or some non-alcoholic version for celebration
it's fucking bad fr
i brew my own but normally it's spiced or mixed with berries
I'm from East Sussex, my body will wither and fail without alcohol.
We were born from pirates and scallywags
just water and tea
Each to their own
british people generally drink light but all the time from my experience
Not from my experience
But maybe you met different British people
😄
(this is not a source of pride)
in my view anything below 40% is light
so it's a bit skewed
verstappen back on pole 🙂

have you guys seen this black guy on youtube that mixes these crazy insane cocktails but he puts in like 30 jolly ranchers each time 
That's... a lot of sugar lol
#tipsybartender #cocktail #shorts #delicious #drink #bartender #fun #vodka #junglejuice #fruits #liquor #wine
No way he's drinking or using all of that
What a waste
(apart from Vodka, that can do one, don't care)
just casually pours bottles and bottles of liquor and sugar
I ping @scenic maple
There are kids in the world who could be getting drunk from the alcohol he's wasting
(JOKING)
Don't drink or do anything young
Be sensible
i think he has parties where he shares all that but it is a lot
Yeah.. like.. A LOT
back when I drank alcohol it used to make me sad
except for when i went to concerts
I would smash like 3 large cans of it while singing along with the band
i remember the last concert i went to i ended up with someone else's blood on my arms
not a lot tho just some
We're creatures of habit, and easily led.. what's best is not always what's right, and what's right certainly isn't always good 😅

Hallo
Cold world
Riddle me this... How to hatch the chicken without the egg.... Kali Linux doesn't have or allow Nvidia drivers to be installed during installation. Only post installation. My CPU doesn't support integrated graphics. I can't boot into the GUI of Kali... How are Nvidia drivers to be installed?
Monster
back to athens then?
(I've already solved this, but thought it be a nice riddle)
I mean.. can you see the installer at least?
If so, config the network and switch TTY, and install yourself
he good?
Yes I can see the installation gui. But at no point does it allow for Nvidia to be installed

Then yeah, switch TTY to terminal and install from there before booting out of the installer
2 degree here
2?!
celsius
bro is in a black hole
@eternal mango yea pretty much what I'm doing now post installation
Good
I'm updating the system now
Even without drivers you should still see something with a dedicated GPU surely? Or no?
Been a long time since I had a mb without integrated
That's all you need then 😄
The irony is during the install the installation gui looked spot on
hm, weird
This update is taking forever. Which is weird considering they just released 25.10 like a few weeks ago?
Bleeding edge 🤷♂️
Suppose so
I guess that'd be why anyway
Damn it, got distracted and forgot what I was in the middle of
Lol, you're welcome
Oh right! Finding the machine with the longest root blood
Root blood?
You totally lost me
My machine, named Holiday - it used to hold the record for the longest time for a Root blood at just over 3 days
I'm sure there's another machine that took longer for a root blood to land
...but it seems the data I have access to is a bit.. funky
Oh ok, yeah it was APT at over 7 days
Nothing wrong with that
Neither the bleached hair or lgbt
Screw them, it's your body, and your hair 🤣
😂
What the hell is a "root blood"?
croco vibes

Once, and it was not on purpose
That hurt for weeks
I twisted my ankle while my hands were in my pockets, with a heavy backpack on
Fell like a freakin tree being cut
Three cracked ribs, and lucky to not have a concussion as my head bounced off of the floor lol
I ordered a hoodie because I don’t have one anymore and my delivery is taking ages
jesus that must have been horrible man
htb hoodie i assume
Maybe sometime I will get some things froM HTB
I wanted the Lego thing
MANDATORY 😛
🙃
My combat squad has been primed
Jesus you did all that from tripping ?
I’ve been concussed many times
By myself
I never broke anything from falling over YET
👀touch wood.
I'm 6ft 4, and at the time was a bit heavier than I should be
PLUS a massive backpack on
Literal ankle failure and fell flat horizontal from standing on to concrete
I always say the bigger you are the harder you fall. I’m only 5ft 3 so I’m closer to the floor 🤣
i'm 6'9'
Yeah I was like Aaahhhh.1 2 3
Let the bodies hit the FLOOOORRRRRRR
and break bones
