[rugged estuary]

thanks for the help

[bronze lion]

[austere sinew]

no one openly goes around advertising what they do if it's something important

[scenic maple]

many people who have jobs left the server too cause some noob was arguing with them about cyber sec

[scenic maple]

they use digital ocean

i am not sure about aws

[west venture]

[scenic maple]

but they do use digital ocean

and this is goblin

[bronze lion]

https://downdetector.com/status/digitalocean/

[inland lantern]

can we grade reviewers as well?

😉

[scenic maple]

[inland lantern]

cape-reviewers that is

[clear remnant]

just a question - were the internet issues aws only or www BGP? or to say it differently are the htb issues unrelated?

[naive hearth]

hi

[reef vortex]

Can't upload images if I'm not Nitro?

[scenic maple]

not that

you need hacker rank to upload images

atleast in #general

read pins on how to get embed

[bronze lion]

cant be sure as i dont know if aws is being used anywhere at all

but as golam said htb use digitalocean

[clear remnant]

yeah its kinda strange that it all happens so closely together

[scenic maple]

but we dont know whats the issue behind it

we can only speculate

[clear remnant]

correct

@quasi lodge

I like to ping zaps mostly because the name

[reef vortex]

When you say "get a machine" are you just completing a machine or are you referring to creating one?

[supple plume]

Creating one

[reef vortex]

Thank you

[supple plume]

Is harder than get hacker badge

[bronze lion]

it depends on the skills I would say

[supple plume]

Because you have to understand it well and be familiar with the retired ones

[scenic maple]

creating one

[supple plume]

Even if you're a developer

[scenic maple]

agree\

[reef vortex]

That's what I'm noticing, I'm going for my CPTS certification

[quasi lodge]

@quasi lodge

@quasi lodge

[bronze lion]

why?
u arent compelled to make a similiar box as the retired ones

[supple plume]

They want original boxes well designed and with lore

[quasi lodge]

@quasi lodge

[supple plume]

Can't be repeating the same ol xss ways

[supple plume]

@quasi lodge

[bronze lion]

so the solution to tht is doign every retired box in htb

doesnt sound very logical

[supple plume]

Not necessarily

You need to be familiar whit what's already on the platform

Is not as easy as it looks like

I'm a developer I am making a box

And still got pro hacker before the box

[scenic maple]

php?

[supple plume]

NDA bitch

[reef vortex]

I think it is not easy to create a VM, you can know the concepts but you also need to handle a kind of reverse engineering

[bronze lion]

well as u said earlier not evey box follows a same pattern so 'familiar with whts in the platform already' is the same think as trying out all the boxes

[bronze lion]

good

[bronze lion]

ok 😶

[supple plume]

Trying all the boxes can help

[supple plume]

There is also the ippsec.rocks

do you often find UAF while fuzzing?

Yes to put it in the console

It’s more common than other bugs because it’s hard to keep track of frees

30 total days is also crazy, if I failed my report then having to submit it again and wait 30 days again is crazy. I know the last batch of CAPE also took 30 days.

hey guys, the thing is, i am organizing a CTF in my college and i just completed creating the 3 levels with increasing difficulty for it, what i am confused about is THE PRIZE to keep for the final winner
As of now, it is set to be a 6 month XBOX game pass membership, anyone got better ideas
any kind of suggestion is welcome

[rustic carbon]

Now I can sleep peacefully

lmfao

Finally cube talks man 😭

[mint raptor]

Ooo oo

[mint raptor]

Man lucky i wanted to join but I was sleeping

[mint raptor]

Some certification voucher?

[rustic carbon]

You could've been on stage man 🥲 '

[brittle smelt]

if it's hacking certifications we are talking (man that'd blow my budget out of the roof)

[mint raptor]

Or maybe some 1-2 month vouchers for labs? Rather than xbox

[rustic carbon]

Is that an old photo of yours?

You look like my age 💀

[mint raptor]

thats me on 15th oct

[brittle smelt]

well the thing is, people here don't know literally anything about what a CTF is, even the professors, i had to explain it to them, so basically i would be conducting a workshop on encryption, encoding, and hashing and then throwing the CTF

[rustic carbon]

Damn fr?

[brittle smelt]

and the game pass was to get more pariticipants to come so that i can tell them about things and try to educate

the certification, i'm not sure if it will attract college students that much

[subtle plover]

Gm

[mint raptor]

thats true but yeah if people are there only for game pass idk if it will actually benefit anyone, there must be at least few students who wanna learn but don't know where to start ig?

[mint raptor]

yes my lord

[rustic carbon]

Ah 21

[mint raptor]

i mean sure

[rustic carbon]

I actually liked this cube talks

we might have after party event (WE MIGHT) usually we do

[elfin arch]

oh damn

[mint raptor]

no no lemme text u

[brittle smelt]

okk

[rustic carbon]

What is hacktheboo?

First year participating

[supple plume]

I think is a ctf

[mint raptor]

the question is not what, the question is WHY

[supple plume]

Name is a bit weak IMO

[mint raptor]

its a halloween themed ctf every year for beginners

[elfin arch]

just another ctf for people who missed it?

[mint raptor]

wdym missed it?

[rustic carbon]

well... what and why lmao

But 21 and a staff? What role are you if you dont mind me asking?

I might apply in a year or two too after I get CJCA and CPTS and finish "college" lol

[elfin arch]

i've no idea how online ones work do you guys put out the challenges after the 27th?

[mint raptor]

https://ctf.hackthebox.com/event/details/hack-the-boo-2025-practice-2841
https://ctf.hackthebox.com/event/details/hack-the-boo-2025-competition-2842

so basically there are 2 events rn one is practice where we give writeups too so people can warm up and then the actual competition, you go there spawn a challenge and you will get IP/PORT

[mint raptor]

i make ctf challenges and machines sometimes

[rustic carbon]

Dopee

[sturdy thistle]

hello gamers

[rustic carbon]

Ohh the one and only

How are you man?

[elfin arch]

ah cool was asking since i wont make it this time but i'm guessing somone will make a writeup after on github or something

[sturdy thistle]

do we know us? xD

i'm fine thanks for askin

hbu

[rustic carbon]

found one crazy ass woman in the bus having a tantrum but overall good thank you

[mint raptor]

ah alright but please make sure to check #1430546775835672587 when event is over, we will have after party event i think so

[rustic carbon]

not as much but there is always a start no?

[elfin arch]

i still dont know what you mean by party this aint defcon

[gaunt gale]

hi do pro labs utilize everything learned in CPTS, CAPE, CWES, and CWEE?

I'm just curious

[mint raptor]

After each CTF event, we host a follow-up event called After Party. It’s not a competition instead, it’s a relaxed environment where participants can revisit and solve challenges from the main event. This gives people who missed the event or couldn’t complete the challenges another chance to play, access writeups, and learn at their own pace.

[gaunt gale]

like if you get CWEE then start pro labbing, will you forget most of CWEE?

by the way I have been doing CDSA to get a foundation in defense before trying offense again and I haven't found I need help on most of the modules in the past two weeks or week and a half I've gotten through like maybe 10% of the CDSA course

[sturdy thistle]

ofc

[mint raptor]

hacker rizz or wot?

[rustic carbon]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

BRO WHAT

[lofty warren]

I was pwned all web & pwn, crypto already. That's all I can did it, g9 everyone

[agile thunder]

fsck -fy saves the day

[mint raptor]

i dont think u just forget stuff, personally i dont take notes or anything i just need a trigger to recollect information or re-read things again when i see a similar thing

and yes CWEE teaches you vulnerability at core right, you can see similar bugs in prolab too, so just take notes?

[rustic carbon]

Now that you said it I realised I have more rizz with the bros rather than the... women

[mint raptor]

i would love to see the response

[gaunt gale]

but how much of CWEE skills are required or useful in order to do tons of pro labs? I know CPTS and CAPE is useful for it

[mystic harbor]

I have no rizz it's over for me with gpt

[rustic carbon]

• "Yo chatgpt how do I pull the huzz?"
• Error 503

[scenic maple]

.

[mystic harbor]

False it will be

[night fox]

Guys who completed Cap machine who can help dm

[cloud osprey]

my dad does the cpap machine every night

[rustic carbon]

Can your dad help me too?

I dont know shit 💀

[mint raptor]

Each Pro Lab focuses on different stuff. For example, Alchemy is mainly about ICS/IOT, so there’s less web content (but still a bit in there). CWEE, on the other hand, is all about web security. So yeah, having the CWEE cert definitely helps when tackling other labs that include web challenges

[scenic maple]

i dont speak for mods

[mystic harbor]

I mean you

[cloud osprey]

i wouldnt even flirt on discord

[rustic carbon]

who does?

[gaunt gale]

ok but I guess what I'm asking about is would someone who does tons of pro labs forget their CWEE skills?

[cloud osprey]

hush little kitten

[mystic harbor]

Mehh

[gaunt gale]

also guys I completed 10% of CDSA in two weeks so I think learning defense is so far much easier than offense and I'm psyched that I found a good starting point that so far is working

[night fox]

Who completed Cap machine in htb dm pls i need help i cant open website 10.10.10.245

[gaunt gale]

I think once I am good enough at defense to get a job I can try learning offense again

I'm psyched

[mint raptor]

i dont get it how will u forget ur CWEE skills

[gaunt gale]

if some of them weren't used in pro labs

[cloud osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/bonk-gif-19410756

[gaunt gale]

so not using skills I'm assuming would lead to forgetting

unless you work with it

[rustic carbon]

Well at the same time you didnt learn it good enough to make it third nature

so yee..

[mystic harbor]

I don't think so, If you come back at it , Everything will refresh soon enough

[rustic carbon]

yee its kinda like driving

you dont forget how to drive

Aight anyway enough talking today Imma peace out

Cya dudes

[gaunt gale]

right but is there anything taught in CWEE that doing tons of pro labs doesn't cover is what I'm really asking

[raven rain]

whitebox testing

[gaunt gale]

ok but other than that like in terms of web exploitation techniques (NoSQLi, XSRF, etc.)

[raven rain]

there are specific web exploitation techniques exclusive to whitebox testing

but idk

i haven't done most of the pro labs

[gaunt gale]

ok then who can I ask about pro labs specifically?

[mystic harbor]

What about prolabs

[gaunt gale]

specifically what from CWEE is and is not built upon in them?

[raven rain]

my man

pro labs are multi machine networks

cwee is web app testing

[gaunt gale]

ya but the multi machine networks have a web app pentesting component

[raven rain]

you won't find much web app testing.. check the pro labs descriptions

[gaunt gale]

ok ya got it

[mystic harbor]

Like prolabs get you in red teaming and active directory i believe the ones that i did

[gaunt gale]

ok so would it be better to do pentesterlab to build upon CWEE or do real-world bug bounties and do pro labs to build upon CPTS and CAPE?

like is that a better way to look at it?

[mystic harbor]

CTPS would get you started with prolabs

[gaunt gale]

ok

thanks

is pentesterlab the only web app training on the Internet that's more advanced then CWEE if we're talking about max skill?

[raven rain]

max skill?

[sturdy thistle]

you stop learning at some point 😄

[gaunt gale]

in terms of which online learning platform teaches the most advanced web app pentesting skills

[gaunt gale]

how so?

aren't we all always learning?

[sturdy thistle]

its a joke

but there is no max skill

[idle rivet]

They’re endlessly evolving techniques and skills

[gaunt gale]

ok but I'm assuming that to get skills better than CWEE combined with pentesterlab at web would require real world experience since at that point there wouldn't be training that is more advanced that you could get right? so I guess what I'm asking is, which is more advanced, the hardest challenges on PTL or CWEE?

I'm assuming to get more advanced skills than that requires hacking real world websites or more programming knowledge

[raven rain]

idk, does it really matter

[supple plume]

My goal is to become goat with 0 certs 💪 🔥 💯

[mint raptor]

my man

[gaunt gale]

it does if you want to get really good at web does it not?

[mystic harbor]

🤝 we

[mint raptor]

ngl u dont become good just by certs / labs

[sturdy thistle]

^

[cloud osprey]

you become good by DMing mods

[sturdy thistle]

and staff

[gaunt gale]

ok so would it make more sense to do CWEE then just start bug hunting and not worry about PTL?

[mint raptor]

or posting NSFW content in PG13 server

[scenic maple]

can confirm paint dmed me once

[mystic harbor]

Can I

[gaunt gale]

like is there an optimal point to start hacking IRL?

[scenic maple]

sure

[supple plume]

Yes is called lock the fuck in right now

[mint raptor]

yes whatever u wanna be, u just have to keep learning new things from blogs / trying to start hacking even if u keep failing

[gaunt gale]

ok

[mint raptor]

i dont think there is optimal point i started with defacing web pages lul (not encouraging anything bad, i was dumb and still im)

[gaunt gale]

ok well also

[idle rivet]

IMO that’s the beauty of the HTB community. Take the boxes for a test drive. Seat time and practice is everything

[raven rain]

i think you need to stop worrying about getting "max skill" because that's not within your grasp at this point in time

[idle rivet]

100% a perishable skill

[raven rain]

just start learning

[sturdy thistle]

i found bugs without certs

[raven rain]

keep learning

[sturdy thistle]

on API etc

[mint raptor]

the only skill u need is keep learning / curiosity no one knows 100%

[compact wave]

@sturdy thistle when hack the love done?

[gaunt gale]

if I feel like I spent too long working through CPTS that maybe I thought I would be better off learning defense first and went back and did CDSA because maybe defense is easier and provides a foundation to learn offense is that a bad way of thinking?

[sturdy thistle]

might need some rework

[raven rain]

stop racing against yourself and enjoy the walk

[compact wave]

need MVP soon

imm 27

im getting old

[gaunt gale]

I have gotten through 9-10% of CDSA so far and its been two weeks but I'm just wondering if going back and doing that and getting a defense first is a bad strategy

[raven rain]

just learn what you want to learn

[mint raptor]

uhmm old papi

[raven rain]

enjoy the process

not the end result

[compact wave]

old papi muy old papi

[sturdy thistle]

need a discord mommy

[mint raptor]

you dont have to be like I WILL DO EVERYTHING AT ONCE

[idle rivet]

@gaunt gale focus on the fundamental training and then anything that stimulates your mind

[mint raptor]

thats how i end up in NSFW websites

[compact wave]

I need a forever mami

[idle rivet]

😂😂😂

[gaunt gale]

I know but I want to learn offense but I was making such slow progress that I didn't think I would be able to get through an offensive cert quickly enough and I'm wondering if since defense is supposed to be easier if me doing that first is a better place to start before trying to get into offense.

see what I mean?

[raven rain]

just learn what you want to learn

[obtuse fern]

@gaunt gale cart and horse

[compact wave]

oH NOOOOOOO LOOOK...JUST 127 AND 148 solves for osint

dont go to ctf

[sturdy thistle]

i don't think there is something "easier"

[compact wave]

dont play my challenges

[mint raptor]

rn u feel like defense is easy but whatever you do after learning for a while everything will get hard

[compact wave]

yes papi hard

[mint raptor]

uhmm uhmm PG-13 remember

[gaunt gale]

ok but a lot of security experts tell me defense is easier and knowing defense first will make you better at offense

how are they wrong?

[compact wave]

[raven rain]

and knowing offense will make you better at defense

they're two sides of the same coin

[sturdy thistle]

and also no right start

do whatever you wanna learn

[mossy garden]

Security is a game of mistakes, where whoever makes the most mistakes loses.

[sturdy thistle]

as sugessted

[idle rivet]

Be mindful that these certifications require years of expertise and knowledge condensed into a module; you won't learn it in the several sections it offers. Learn a new tool and use a pwnbox to mess around with it.

[mint raptor]

u are not them, i find defense boring, just do whatever feels right to you, we all have different backgrounds and way of thinking, just find your own way whatever works for you will not work for others

[gaunt gale]

I mean is it bad to start with defense with the goal of being able to learn offense more easily later? like what I'm saying is whether or not that's a bad strategy or does not make any sense?

[mossy garden]

It can help give you good insight into infra and software architecture

[gaunt gale]

I mean I wanted to learn offense but its extremely difficult

[mossy garden]

you can kinda switch back and forth, you don't have to go from one to the other and stay there forever

[gaunt gale]

ok thanks

fine

[mossy garden]

But I will say that seeing things from the defensive side can help you understand exactly what you're attacking

[agile thunder]

Where the fuck is my driver 🥀

[mint raptor]

this is the first time a lot of people are responding to help someone other times it just people trolling

[mossy garden]

https://tenor.com/view/car-space-back-to-the-future-time-travel-delorean-gif-11228974

[sturdy thistle]

don't remind them to troll

[gaunt gale]

Ok, that makes sense and then also for a defensive security job, I figured CDSA and CCD are the right two certs for hands on skill in defense combined with the HR filters such as net+ or sec+

[compact wave]

im at 17 min. using another account

sowwy mine is banned

[agile thunder]

fr bru

[compact wave]

I dont have drivers licnse but

it will be a free drive

[sturdy thistle]

car drives without licsene

[agile thunder]

xD

[gaunt gale]

for those of you that don't know CCD is certified cyber defender and its a 48 hour hands on defense exam kind of like CDSA but covering different tools

[gaunt gale]

so I'm thinking for entry level defense, getting CDSA, CCD, net+, sec+, and linux essentials could help right?

as far as the combination between certs and hands on

[sturdy thistle]

BTL1 is also blue team

with different tools

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[gaunt gale]

well, what about doing all three: CDSA, BTL1, and CCD? the reason I am asking is I want to be familiar with all the tools so I can adjust my resume to include all of that for an entry level job

[mint raptor]

bro you are overcomplicating things

[sturdy thistle]

ye

start with 1 and finish it

[gaunt gale]

ok thanks

[sturdy thistle]

then check what you wanan do next and do it

[gaunt gale]

ok thanks

[compact wave]

https://tenor.com/view/formula1-f1-daniel-ricciardo-cute-gif-15019700

[sturdy thistle]

you CAN't master all tools at once as entry level

[mint raptor]

yes dont live your life like u wanna control it all, just pick one and stick with it until u are finished or feel like u already know it

[mossy garden]

my advice for getting a tattoo you won't regret: just pick something you think is fun, not serious

[devout sail]

Embed fail?

In this economy?

[rustic carbon]

But yeah my indicisiveness is the reason I dont get tattoos

[mossy garden]

what's serious to you might change based on tons of factors. Things you think are fun are less likely you'll ever hate.

[devout sail]

My discord crashed from that gif 💀

And messages disappeared

[supple plume]

My advice is don't put ink inside your body works better in pens

[rustic carbon]

Yeah true but the thing with silly tattoos is that they have more drawbacks than goods

[supple plume]

El gif de la muerte

[mint raptor]

it actually depends on the mood and ur emotional condition

thats why get tattoo from memories u are fond of

[sturdy thistle]

@dire kindle does it work now as expected?

[rustic carbon]

Like with serious tattoos there is a story, significance etc, but with silly ones people might not get your sense of humor..

[mint raptor]

get married find a wife get tattoos together based on your story / something u can remember fondly?

[supple plume]

Sometimes I wish I could delete my brains memory and be born again

[rustic carbon]

Worst decision ever

[mint raptor]

why wdym

[devout sail]

[rustic carbon]

Never ever do matching tattoos with a girl.. no matter how attached you are to her

[mint raptor]

ok yeah im single too tina we are in the same boat

[rustic carbon]

Almost everyone regrets it

[sturdy thistle]

@mint raptor until next meetup

[mint raptor]

depends i might do it if im sure abt that girl

[mint raptor]

im single until next meetup? dang it

[supple plume]

Once a guy showed me his back no tattos and very small in the middle it had a tattoo that said: why not?

[sturdy thistle]

yes then we can be together for 1 week

[rustic carbon]

I asked why and he pointed at it

[rustic carbon]

yo-

💀

[mint raptor]

i mean just let things be? why try to control everything?

[mossy garden]

I mean all my tats are somewhat "serious" ones NGL lmao. But they're extremely deeply ingrained, I'm not gonna regret them unless I have a complete and total worldview shift.

[mint raptor]

ouu can u show?

[sturdy thistle]

i have my wifes name as a tattoo

[mint raptor]

i love tattoos

[rustic carbon]

I mean not everything.. being too controlling is bad but being reckless is also bad.. middle ground is the sweet spot

[rustic carbon]

You know you'll show it to the tattoo artist and then he'll then change your whole mind 💀

Classic tattoo artist move

Literally you'll think of a tattoo for months and end up changing your mind immediately

[mossy garden]

The snake didnt come out as good but I still like it. Would like some clean up on it eventually, it's not amazing. Still cute though, I like snakes

[mint raptor]

i will go to one soon for consultation

lets see how it goes

[mint raptor]

what does that text mean?

[devout sail]

I once met a mutual friend who had a tattoo on his arm, it looked like HORNY to me
So i said that and he couldn't unsee it 💀

[rustic carbon]

I'll prolly get a tech related one too when I finish college like it's a graduate badge
