[scenic maple]

edge?

[zealous charm]

No hacking today ig

[half lantern]

I just like to bring up my dude cuz its relevant to hacking (for me). I hack for him. If he didn't exist istg I'd have no purpose in life

[cloud osprey]

i did use edge for a long time, but moved off it for dev reasons

because using edge on a mac is funny

[scenic maple]

[half lantern]

I have a surface book so edge is helpful for website annotations when I was in uni

Discord bug reported

[proud moth]

FROSTO THE LEGEND

[exotic pendant]

[proud moth]

Imagine trying hacking but your competition is literally Frosto

[sturdy thistle]

[exotic pendant]

😄

[proud moth]

[exotic pendant]

The discord bug is also vm escape

[scenic maple]

fack

its rce

[exotic pendant]

so it hits your discord from vm

nah dos with POTENTIAL for RCE

I dont have the code and cant trace it back

[half lantern]

Why so many certs? Is your study motivation, cert? Cuz its mine too

[exotic pendant]

but VM -> host discord is good

[proud moth]

Frosto takes certs for fun

[exotic pendant]

i jsut do for fun

[proud moth]

he is on another planet

[half lantern]

So no study just book and do?

Chad

[proud moth]

no need for study when you have infinite IQ i guess

when i grow up i wanna be like frosto

[zealous charm]

Submitting to the discord BBP hopefully?

[exotic pendant]

[scenic maple]

hopefully you get the discord bug hunter badge

its very rare

[exotic pendant]

🙂

[buoyant wyvern]

[scenic maple]

😄

[zealous charm]

Plus a P1 payout would be a win

[exotic pendant]

I've made plenty off bug money

[supple plume]

Someday I'll be like frosto

[buoyant wyvern]

[proud moth]

[zealous charm]

Just looking at BC profile, 0pts

[buoyant wyvern]

i don't even understand how does he find bug everyday in big platforms

[exotic pendant]

i do free programs

on BC

[supple plume]

He looks at the software and writes a report

[proud moth]

i tried bug hunting and it's so hard you have to have an absolutely brutal knowledge base

i got two bugs in like 2 years

[proud moth]

but honestly didn't try a lot

[exotic pendant]

im in the top % for most severity

[buoyant wyvern]

i never tried that actually, but i want one day

[proud moth]

yeah see this is just what insanity looks like

[zealous charm]

[cloud osprey]

honestly i could get down to like 5'7 and still be half a foot taller than gf

[exotic pendant]

good thing about 5'7 is you're not considered short and you're also at the size to fit in everything

[sturdy thistle]

I think in freedom units I’m 5.87

[exotic pendant]

5'6 is when it becomes short

[meager kernel]

or maybe you have a CD of it

[buoyant wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/drake-laptop-drake-gif-21716481

is there any ctf challenges to do other than hackthebox

irl aura farming

[normal zephyr]

Got it. Thanks!

[lapis ingot]

hello everyone, I'm trying to spawn the machine for module 145, section 1307 (Identifying SSTI) and it loads infinitely

is it normal ?

[nimble tundra]

mine has a F35 key

https://tenor.com/view/f35vtol-f35-fighter-jet-f35jet-plane-vtol-gif-19378653

i wonder if my PC tuns into a F35 if i press it

[ivory osprey]

wtf is you tag bro

[nimble tundra]

mine ?

[ivory osprey]

yh

FBI

[buoyant wyvern]

did you read the message when you were entering academy

[ivory osprey]

its cool

[nimble tundra]

yeah i catch criminals

[ivory osprey]

nice

[normal zephyr]

🤣

[ivory osprey]

👍

[buoyant wyvern]

in minecraft*

[lapis ingot]

the only message I got was this one

[nimble tundra]

nah

[ivory osprey]

maybe?

[buoyant wyvern]

yes and did you comply with it

[lapis ingot]

but that only applies to the VPNs, not to the target machines, right ?

[nimble tundra]

i don't play minecraft nowadays

[ivory osprey]

fair enough

[buoyant wyvern]

read it again

[lapis ingot]

it just keeps loading, and it's the target machine, not the Pwnbox so I can't change the location

or does it spawn the target depending on the Pwnbox location ?

[ivory osprey]

i never knew the Federal Bureau of Investigation plays counter strike 2

[lapis ingot]

they do so they can train

[ivory osprey]

fair enough

🙏

[buoyant wyvern]

so let's say you connected to the EU VPN 1 and you spawned machine in US 6, can you reach the machine?

[zealous charm]

wait until you ping fbi.com and realize it's coming from inside the house...

[buoyant wyvern]

you can change the VPN option above that

[muted olive]

64 bytes from 10.0.0.1

[lapis ingot]

ok so it depends on the location of the pwnbox, but the location is UK

but fine, now that I understand that it depends in the Pwnbox location I should be able to fix it by just changing its location

[buoyant wyvern]

it is not pwnbox, just say VPN server

[buoyant wyvern]

yes you are right, thank you for understanding

[lapis ingot]

well, it's Pwnbox, right ?

[buoyant wyvern]

are you using pwnbox or your own local machine for solving this modules

[lapis ingot]

Pwnbox

[obtuse fern]

pwnbox server isn't related to the server region

[lapis ingot]

so what I said here

[buoyant wyvern]

yeah then you should change this i guess

[lapis ingot]

🤣

[obtuse fern]

server region -> US 1-5; EU 1-5
Pwnbox region -> US East. US West, ...

Server region dictates the lab spawn, pwnbox region dictates the pwnbox spawn server

[lapis ingot]

the server region can be changed in my user settings or where ?

[serene wasp]

Hi people

Any tips for hack the box?

[west lynx]

Get Started with the HTB Beginners Bible: https://www.hackthebox.com/blog/learn-to-hack-beginners-bible

[obtuse fern]

usually it's just above where the pwnbox region is (in academy) but you can change it in the settings (it won't be on account settings)

[raven rain]

ask questions

[eternal mango]

https://academy.hackthebox.com/vpn

[lapis ingot]

fine, I'll check that later cuz now the target machine loaded successfully, thanks for your help 👍

[serene wasp]

Is it worth installing the htb version of parrot os to a machine? I have a coworker who might be donate a pc to me

I have windows on my laptop so I was thinking if he gives it to me installing Linux

[scenic maple]

its worth having access to linux in whatever method you choose be that vm or bare metal doesnt matter

[buoyant wyvern]

i don't think there is htb version of parrot os, there is just parrot os

[buoyant wyvern]

am i right golam

[eternal mango]

There is a HTB Edition

[raven rain]

it's generally preferred to use a VM for pentesting distros

[buoyant wyvern]

i didn't know about that, my bad

[eternal mango]

All good

[raven rain]

if ya can't then bare metal it is

[scenic maple]

htb version of parrot os in simple terms is parrot os that looks like htb version of parrot os
there isnt a a 1 to 1 copy but you can get the stuff from pwnbox to ur pc

[eternal mango]

It's mostly styling, some tools I think

[scenic maple]

and it will be almost 1 to 1

[serene wasp]

What should I use to manage a VM if I wanted to make a parrot os vm?

[raven rain]

what i would like is a VM download of the pwnbox

would be really nice

[lilac cipher]

😮

[raven rain]

VirtualBox or VMware Workstation Pro

[lilac cipher]

I saw that gob

[buoyant wyvern]

is parrot os better than kali linux, what do you guys think

[eternal mango]

https://parrotsec.org/docs/virtualization/install-parrot-on-virtualbox

Yes you did

[serene wasp]

Where did that link go?

[lilac cipher]

Did you just paste the same again

[scenic maple]

always nerfed by firefox

[eternal mango]

I thought I derped and posted a link about VirtualBox on Parrot

Not the installation doc

but it WAS the installation doc for Parrot on VirtualBox

So it's fine.... panic over.

[serene wasp]

Oh ok

Is it better to use virtual box or vm ware?

[eternal mango]

You will notice little difference

[muted olive]

Is there anyone here who's free? Anyone who owns a GPU? ( 🥺 )

[raven rain]

whichever you prefer. vmware is a lot harder to get your hands on though

[lilac cipher]

I will crack ur hash for €5

[raven rain]

both are free

[muted olive]

I'll give you a kiss instead 💋

crack plz

[scenic maple]

.

[eternal mango]

lol

[lilac cipher]

Saw that golam

[muted olive]

saw that

if you're insane you can use KVM

[scenic maple]

[muted olive]

@lilac cipher can you crack muh hash 👉 👈

[serene wasp]

I used kvm before on Ubuntu

[lilac cipher]

What type

Also

Crackstation

[eternal mango]

Use whatever works for you really

[lilac cipher]

[muted olive]

ssh2john

[lilac cipher]

[muted olive]

I ran it for 20 mins straight and it just crashed my vm

im using 8 gb potato

[eternal mango]

What key size?

Like... is it actually crackable

lol

[raven rain]

rockyou2027 just dropped

[muted olive]

256 bit

[obtuse fern]

looks inside
it's all slurs

[raven rain]

[muted olive]

Well its part of a pro lab... so yes

[eternal mango]

Well uh

[muted olive]

I'm just not able to crack it because of hardware limitations

[lilac cipher]

Well

[eternal mango]

Oh I give up

[lilac cipher]

Well

[scenic maple]

probably pissed after 5 tries of password way too insecure

[eternal mango]

If you are blocked by hardware

Likely you don't need to do that thing

[scenic maple]

do web

you can do that with curl

[naive hearth]

hy

[muted olive]

I'm sure its the right thing in this case 😢

[eternal mango]

How?

Anyway, paid product

[muted olive]

Because I've never been able to crack a hash 🤣

[eternal mango]

Take it to DMs

[muted olive]

even on boxes

[raven rain]

i will use this entire GPU server to crack this hash

[eternal mango]

I don't think we have ever had something that requires stupid spaceship hardware to crack for a lab

pro, academy, endgame, whatever

It's just no fun, and gatekeeping

[scenic maple]

last one to get the hash in the team has to crack all hashes during seasonal box

[raven rain]

eight RTX 5090 Ti

[ivory osprey]

do you guys know what to learn first if you want to be a pentester

[eternal mango]

I'm fairly sure if you are running up against a hardware limitation, you are on the wrong path

[west lynx]

Get Started with the HTB Beginners Bible: https://www.hackthebox.com/blog/learn-to-hack-beginners-bible

[eternal mango]

Unless your hardware limitation is that your computer is a spoon

[raven rain]

basic IT

[scenic maple]

duo core 💪

[eternal mango]

My spoon is over-forked

Spork-core

[keen knoll]

sounds fun to me 🙂

[raven rain]

i've got a 3090

i can crack those hashes

[eternal mango]

But

missing

point

[scenic maple]

its the hashes we cracked along the way

[eternal mango]

Go cook

[raven rain]

i have a quantum computer

i can crack those hashes

[muted olive]

This. 100% this.

[scenic maple]

whats a quantum computer

[eternal mango]

I have frozen hash browns

I can crack those computers

[muted olive]

Because the path itself seems clear

Just that my computer is 100% a spoon

[raven rain]

i have to wear a special suit and go inside a special room to use it

[eternal mango]

Well if I'm wrong and that's the path

Please let me know in DMs 🤣

[keen knoll]

even with a spoon-puter, can't imagine there's a box/ctf hash that takes very long

I rarely see any

[eternal mango]

But that kinda intensity of cracking in labs or whatever, it's not something we'd accept

I feel like I'm being trolled

[keen knoll]

I think it wouldn't be horrible to see something that's not in rockyou every now and then, but I'm perhaps biased in that regard

[scenic maple]

why cant we have a list of all possible hashes for rockyou 😩

[raven rain]

this is not a troll. i most definitely have a quantum computer

[eternal mango]

https://tenor.com/view/jagan-hiei-third-eye-ghost-fighter-vincent-gif-17925327

[scenic maple]

but what does it do

[muted olive]

Really. Look, my VM crashes within 3 seconds of starting john. The CPU usage spikes and everything freezes. 🤣

[eternal mango]

No I'm not doubting that

I doubting that you need to crack something that intensive for it

[scenic maple]

his pc is just potato

[keen knoll]

I wouldn't suggest running john in a VM in the first place tbh

[eternal mango]

ehhh it's fine

[keen knoll]

just going to eat what limited CPU you've given it

[eternal mango]

😄

Well aye

Anyway

Let me know when you get it @muted olive, honestly curious

[muted olive]

Will do

[naive hearth]

i don't have verified role can u help me. i already connected htb id

[muted olive]

lol, before/after

[austere sigil]

hashcat in vm? sure, but only with gpu passthrough

[keen knoll]

god GPU passthrough is such a pain

[naive hearth]

[keen knoll]

when it works, it's cool

but when it doesn't it's a world a pain

[scenic maple]

chikenman whats your thoughts on webgpu

[austere sigil]

pain is the most metal thing you can do 🤣

[keen knoll]

it's neat, but I don't really see a ton of use cases for it

webgpu still seems to lack a lot of the compute oriented APIs and functionality needed for GPGPU use cases

it's getting there, but there's a lot missing still

at least last I looked into it, which was maybe 8 months ago or so

[scenic maple]

so in 5-10 years?

[austere sigil]

I mean, proxmox works

[keen knoll]

I don't know that I'd call the hosts running under proxmox "VM"s to be fair, since it's a more proper hypervisor

[austere sigil]

works? works and that's good

but hey its scary how fast it is really

[keen knoll]

i just usually run everything baremetal

[austere sigil]

only

I have plenty of hardware to test things out

how much would that be?

[keen knoll]

too much lol

[austere sigil]

well ok

[frigid mountain]

https://edm.com/gear-tech/deadmau5-45drives-custom-built-server/

I want one of these

[austere sigil]

ai

I'm on m1 macbook 🤣

[keen knoll]

to be fair, for 8k, you can build a rig that does that without issue

and likely destroys it in benchmarks

[lilac cipher]

at least then people will learn the syntax to generate wordlists with hashcat's rule syntax 😛

[keen knoll]

haha, if only

[scenic maple]

i should make a web gui for it

[lilac cipher]

for hashcat?!

[keen knoll]

lol

[austere sigil]

so chickenman is the ceo of password testing business

how shocking

[scenic maple]

for the pass generation with hashcats rules

[keen knoll]

to be fair, not my company, they brought me on already established haha

[austere sigil]

ooooh

[keen knoll]

this is going to be... messy

rules are not really that complicated, but using them effectively and efficiently gets pretty complex pretty quickly

[austere sigil]

you told me once that's not how fast your card is

[keen knoll]

yeah I still stand by that, more hardware != more better

[lilac cipher]

Feels like 50% is having a decent base list and 50% is the ruleset

[keen knoll]

actually, I personally see it as a bit of a misconception to think of them as disconnected

rules and wordlists should be considered together if you want to actually optimize them

having a decent wordlist and having a decent set of rules can definitely be a thing, separately

but optimizing either one from there requires you to optimize both for working with eachother

[lilac cipher]

Yeah makes sense

You try to cater one to another

[keen knoll]

right

[exotic pendant]

😄

[scenic maple]

i mainly write javascript
i have done worse war crimes

[keen knoll]

the problem is not so much the implementation of the syntax

but how the rules Actually behave being quite a bit more complicated than their syntax would lead you to believe

[exotic pendant]

Made some protein cheesecake

[scenic maple]

i see

[keen knoll]

GPUs come with some not so obvious caveats, and as such, so does hashcat's rule engine

[austere sigil]

where does the name came from?

[keen knoll]

hashcat?

[austere sigil]

ye

[keen knoll]

honestly, no idea

predates my involvement with the team

I only officially became a part of Team Hashcat in 2017

but the tool, in various forms, had existed since at least 2011 at that point

and was open source since 2015

[lilac cipher]

Im claiming the name

And it will act like monkey 🐒

[sturdy steppe]

what's up guys, Finally got unbanned from HTB, feeling good

[lilac cipher]

[rose onyx]

[lilac cipher]

Even moreso how did you get unbanned

[scenic maple]

a hash cracking tool written in javascript?

[lilac cipher]

Monkeyscript

[scenic maple]

that would be my worst war crime yet

[sturdy steppe]

ah nothing much just a guideline breach, later got resolved with htb support

[keen knoll]

oh it exists lol

[scenic maple]

well i am gonna run it in users browser

client side

[keen knoll]

yeah, I believe there was a website for a while that was basically this

[scenic maple]

thats because you dont write js/java

[keen knoll]

but it's probably long since defunct now

[rose onyx]

Live long enough to see yourself become the villain

[austere sigil]

I did. Stage 1 install of Gentoo linux on P4 cpu 🤣

[scenic maple]

so there are worse war criminals than me

[keen knoll]

hahaha

[rose onyx]

If installing Gentoo makes me a war criminal, sign me up

[austere sigil]

on old cpu

[scenic maple]

0 bugs ever

in prod even

[rose onyx]

P4 isn't that ol-

[lilac cipher]

P4 is low severity

[austere sigil]

Its what I had sir

[scenic maple]

you either are a 10x engineer or you write lot less code

i honestly have to learn java for college i think i am actually gonna learn it well

[sturdy steppe]

guys on HTB can you suggest me modules i can do in order to me more effiencient in solving medium boxes on HTB Labs

[scenic maple]

cause lets be honest every enterprise uses it

even htb

[austere sigil]

g0blin is typing

[eternal mango]

Yeah, you got me thinking

[scenic maple]

infosec foundations
basic toolset
cpts path

i have seen it in job postings

[eternal mango]

Loads of Elastic stack was redone in Go, but a good chunk still is Java

[scenic maple]

i am pretty sure yall do

[eternal mango]

Apart from that

I don't think we do really use it anywhere else.. maybe some test cases?

[scenic maple]

test cases needed selenium and java was a requirement

[eternal mango]

But I think we switched away from that

They did

But that was a while ago

Things change

[scenic maple]

so what do yall use now for test cases

[lilac cipher]

No golam you aint getting operational data out of goblin

[scenic maple]

i really hated working with selenium it wasnt async

[eternal mango]

Playwright I think?

[austere sigil]

too late 🤣

[lilac cipher]

Damn

[scenic maple]

its gonna be public anyway on any new job posting

[eternal mango]

Oh sorry, you asked for the private key to the super duper secret treasure trove of data

That's easy, it's 42

Triple base64 encoded for safety

[scenic maple]

[rose onyx]

[eternal mango]

Personally I enjoy working with Java when I have the need

[scenic maple]

when do you have the need

[eternal mango]

Android

[scenic maple]

understandable

[eternal mango]

But that was ages ago

[scenic maple]

we do flutter nowadays

[devout sail]

Good day people

And @lilac cipher

But still, even some odd little side projects on Android with Java were enjoyable due to introspection / reflection

[devout sail]

@rose onyx

[scenic maple]

well the guys i know do

[eternal mango]

But that was edge case

but it worked DAMN well

[rose onyx]

@devout sail

[devout sail]

Do u finish your side projects or leave them at 80% too

[eternal mango]

I've not played with flutter yet tbh

[devout sail]

😼

[scenic maple]

its cool cause u have both android and ios

[eternal mango]

HAH YES

It's that little bit of secret sauce you brew up at 4am

As needs must

[devout sail]

[austere sigil]

that's peak software engineering then

[devout sail]

Maybe try touching few lines

[sturdy thistle]

Few lines

[eternal mango]

Like memorising how to make your IO card swap between "ok yeah, have amouse but no modem" to "ok yeah, have a modem but no mouse"

[sturdy thistle]

Like thin line?

[eternal mango]

BUT NEVER THE TWAIN SHALL MEET

I'm sure the solution would have been simple

but I got damned good at using the numpad for browsing and games

[scenic maple]

most software engineers dont like to write code
they like money
writing code is just ta side effect

[eternal mango]

ehhhh

[worthy narwhal]

anyone want my 2 week free nitro trials? i have 3, but i have no frens

[eternal mango]

disagree

[devout sail]

Who doesn't like money

[scenic maple]

in fact they like to reduce code

[eternal mango]

I like writing code

Sometimes I like it... until I look backwards

[rose onyx]

The whole codebase was bad so I deleted it.

[scenic maple]

do you write java 7

[devout sail]

I like to code tbh
I don't know many languages, but I do do some scripting ones
And help people out

[eternal mango]

Sometimes I do a good job and like it, or do a good job and hate it

[scenic maple]

only reasonable thing to do

[austere sigil]

bad code is a thing

[eternal mango]

💯

[devout sail]

Let me show u cursed scripting language

[eternal mango]

Number one rule.. leave it better than you found it

[austere sigil]

literally people trying their best to write bad code that does the job

its hilarious

[eternal mango]

unless you're the only dev

then curse yourself

[austere sigil]

I don't understand the code I wrote

I was different kind of crazy back then so

[eternal mango]

relate

[devout sail]

The only language I can code with 0 help from docs or AI 💀

[eternal mango]

Really?

[devout sail]

All it does it generates calendar on discord, like when u want to know the date or something

[eternal mango]

If you can code that without docs or anything

Don't undersellf yourself

[austere sigil]

what in the name of all that is holy is that?

[eternal mango]

All languages are the same

Just different bits

[scenic maple]

i dont like writing code cause i am the only guy doing frontend and few weeks in i regret my approach
wish that i had taken a diff path but in the past i didnt know the future probelms

[eternal mango]

(apart from Ruby on Rails, but we covered that)

[devout sail]

Yep logic do help, but need docs for syntaxes or keywords

[eternal mango]

Well ok sure

But you needed docs at some point for that too

[heady sage]

lol

[eternal mango]

You didn't just pop out and go WAH WAH CODE

[austere sigil]

frontend is there to hide the ugly and impress stakeholders with great UI

[frigid mountain]

I cant wait to get some of that sweet parking lot food before the show tonight

[devout sail]

Yeah this AI ruined my habit
Used to spend hours on docs
Now if i can't find it, I ask ai in 5m

[frigid mountain]

I hope there's cheesesteaks

[crisp lynx]

What is this blasphemous language

[scenic maple]

true it looks beautiful on screen but its horse shit js code inside

[eternal mango]

Hahahah

[devout sail]

But it generates coool shit

[marble hearth]

i replaced my google search with chatgpt

[eternal mango]

One of the biggest jobs a few positions ago was building and maintaining an easy to use visual CMS

[austere sigil]

no problem; it jsut has to look nice

[crisp lynx]

[eternal mango]

Think. WYSIWYG from the late 90s / early 00s

but with OPTIONS

[austere sigil]

oh god

[eternal mango]

7595 was the job number

[austere sigil]

with tons and tons of javascript?

[eternal mango]

It was during the framework wars between jQuery and Mootools

I stuck with Mootools, because of the name, but just that

[scenic maple]

few hundred megabytes easily

[eternal mango]

All the supporting code was done by me

[devout sail]

Hmm it is nice but kinda makes us lazy

Recently I've decided to not use AI to script my nushell , took me a week but worth it

[austere sigil]

moodle

[eternal mango]

Not just slapping libs together, just Mootools and loads of UI (YES I DID UI) logic and backend skullduggery

[worthy narwhal]

the worst is when you deploy a full app and then all the effort you put into minimizing scope creep haunts you and you regret not putting in the max effort the first time because now you have to rebuild everything all over again

[devout sail]

I might have accidentally learned a lil bit of rust i think

[austere sigil]

oh no

[eternal mango]

Slippery slope Shadow

[devout sail]

I've decided to do AoC IN RUST now

...3 months later.... WHAT HAVE I DONE

[worthy narwhal]

[scenic maple]

btw have you guys tried writing or implementng existing libs in the language u usually use?
if so how did it go

[eternal mango]

I find those stuff interesting, when code ia barely hanging and somehow handling edge cases yet might break

[devout sail]

is it trolly idea

[eternal mango]

I really don't

Just a silly "domain was siezed" overlay for a domain when you hit like nsa.report/site.com

I can check now

Yup, 5

Three stupid ones, and two for my site
