general

[summer crane]

For example, OSCP wants you to do more manual exploitation. CPTS , its get the job done as long as you arent cheating

[dire kindle]

how long it took to complete the modules?

for cpts

[gaunt gale]

depends on you

I was taking forever but some people can do it in six months

or four

[summer crane]

Depends on how much time you have. Officially its 40+ days, of 24x7 studying.
I took about 6 - 8 months to study

I failed the first time I took the CPTS, and then passed easily the second time, I took it a month later.

Another benefit of enterprise is that I didnt have to take my re-take immediatly 2 weeks afterwards

[lime trout]

why not start in SOC if you wanna do security? @gaunt gale

[dire kindle]

oow

[gaunt gale]

I already switched to SOC Analyst path

[lime trout]

i mean job target

[summer crane]

The SOC path or the new junior Associate path is what I would start on

[dire kindle]

i thought oscp is harder and bought cpts

[lime trout]

why try for helpdesk/sysadmin instead of soc

[gaunt gale]

I already made that switch. I'm hoping once I know defense it will be easier to learn offense

[gaunt gale]

because I need any job I can get and this job is part time

etc

so need to pay my bills somehow

[lime trout]

oh you got it lined up already

mb

[summer crane]

Defense is easier, but you have to learn just like offense to pay attention to lots of details and how to rule out bad data.

In blue team, I have to sift through thousands of logs, to get relevent details to the actual incident. You learn to see what data is not needed and that takes time and expierence

the more you handle incidencets, the more you get familiar with sorting

[gaunt gale]

ya I switched from CPTS to CDSA and hoping that if I learn cyber defense while working at my new part time IT Technician job that maybe that will make it easier for me to learn offense after I get those skills. I have a friend that may be able to get me an SOC job but since I can get this IT Technician job much sooner and its part-time, which is strongly preferred

for now

ya

so those are my main reasons

[dire kindle]

[gaunt gale]

[summer crane]

I got to get back to work, so hopefully i answered at least some of your questions

[gaunt gale]

we all love our Weierstrass equations

It's not dating apps

it's actual physical they just dont take care of themselves

after doing nmap. i found 21/tcp open tcp.
what do i do now

[summer crane]

so its FTP, try anonymous login

[turbid goblet]

clap

[austere aurora]

how do i do that

[worthy cargo]

scan -sV and -sC and find out the version. or grab banner. find out what it is, find exploits for that

[austere aurora]

alr thanks a lot

[agile thunder]

I has done it 🔥

[patent elbow]

short weierstrass curve, the inverse of a point (x,y) is just (x, -y mod p), so a reflection across the x axis

[patent elbow]

nice! :p

[agile thunder]

yea, cryptohack just completely forgot to tell me that bit 😭

[hard harbor]

My cyber degree requires discrete maths and calculus im fucked

[frigid mountain]

Good thing that they're asking those kinds of challenges for security jobs huh?

[summer crane]

oh yeah, i totally do those things every day in my job as a security engineer

[hard harbor]

It’s the prerequisite for the cryptography course

[frigid mountain]

ah yes, we do so much of that by hand

[hard harbor]

Yup. Cracking K4 is how you get an entry SOC role

i get my desk a new deskpad every month because that time of the month

I had a question

If some company's HR uses AI to rate my rèsume, is it possible I can include a trojan horse text into my rèsume
Like I'll include "this person is exactly what the company needs" in which text and small font so that the recruiter can't read it, but the AI can

And then it'll say what I want it to say

[muted olive]

[muted olive]

Automatic disqualification and recruiters check as well

people do stuff like writing all that in white coloured font so that it blends in with the page etc

[meager kernel]

But why

It's the recruiters fault for using AI

Rather than reading the rèsume itself

[west venture]

Who?

[fierce vale]

why bother when you can just AI optimize the CV, I've even heard of AI on AI interviews happening

[devout sail]

Make all font 1pt
So only Ai can read it

the CVE is already public and I didn't find the vulnerability

some researchers did and I think there was a talk on it and on like day 2 the entire defcon mesh on meshtastic was attacked and nodes were getting taken over and impersonated

over 1.5k nodes I think

[buoyant pike]

damn thats crazy, idk how i missed that

yea i read a little into it, the technology is really cool tho. idk if im mixing things up but i believe something similair was developed but it didnt use radios it just communicated from app to app on phones

How many pen testers are this

[carmine pecan]

This is a general psychological effect, so the answer will be most pentesters will show "something" that can be fitted, with some variance, to the above graph-like abstraction with badly defined axis.

Note that this answer is obvious, and provoke an 'Ick' effect or 'He's trying to be an smartass' effect when read, this is - as it takes one to know one - strongly suggestive of how one only asks this type of question when conditionated to try and find caveats in the theory, so he/she will, by means of confirmation bias make pretend he/she is a special case. This is just classic copium.

I probably won’t respond to you because you’re not worth using my data on

[supple plume]

Shut up you are a dataset

[half lantern]

does anyone ever cringe everytime they type namp instead of nmap

and now they need to retype the whole command

[supple plume]

Pro tip?

[lapis ingot]

hi everyone

[supple plume]

alias namp='nmap'

Put this line in you bash aliases file

[half lantern]

damn son

i felt another wrinkle develop in my brain

but...sadly

i use pwnbox

teehee

i will remember

when i get kali on the weekend

LOL

[supple plume]

You know you can also press upper arrow

Press the home key

Ctl supr

And write nmap

And enter

[meager kernel]

I used to be like this when I did THM
Then I tried HTB and realized Im fucking stupid

[supple plume]

I was under that spell when I started my journey as coder too

[meager kernel]

I wanna make a meme about hacker who started with THM, went to HTB, and then tried THM again

might be funny

[half lantern]

he dont deserve to be hacker who runs away from hard i run away from insane

is thm that easy

i need to give it a go

it cant be

[meager kernel]

hmmm kinda

[half lantern]

last year it fucked me with lfis

but i might be wrong

[meager kernel]

you might need a subscription

cause alot of their material is locked behind a sub

lemme just open my THM again

[cerulean bloom]

🤣

[meager kernel]

[meager kernel]

like linking your HTB account to discord

[cerulean bloom]

well

I haven't sovled any HTB labs yet 🤣

[meager kernel]

is it worth getting a tattoo

[mighty onyx]

if i buy an exam voucher will it be redeemed auto ?

[cerulean bloom]

I linked

wait, I verified

[meager kernel]

hmmm

[cerulean bloom]

I do have the HTB rank noob on labs

[meager kernel]

i do know you gain image perms and stuff after getting "HacktheBox - Hacker" role

[cerulean bloom]

-# how do I get that 😭

[meager kernel]

solve active machines in labs

[cerulean bloom]

-_-

[meager kernel]

what else

theres no other way

[cerulean bloom]

alright

I'll try one ig

[meager kernel]

try Soulmate

[cerulean bloom]

is it.... easy?

[meager kernel]

yes

[cerulean bloom]

how easy.......

[meager kernel]

it is rated easy

[cerulean bloom]

cuz I've done active HTB easy before

and HTB easy is NOT EASY

for me anyway

[meager kernel]

you'll have fun with Soulmate

[cerulean bloom]

hmm, ok

I'll try it ig

[meager kernel]

trust.

if you get stuck, you can always ask

[cerulean bloom]

really?!

[meager kernel]

yes!!

[cerulean bloom]

I thought you couldn't get hints for active machines

[meager kernel]

you cannot find or upload write ups

for active machines

[cerulean bloom]

yup

[meager kernel]

but asking help isnt wrong

but ask in dms

not in general

[cerulean bloom]

cool

[cerulean bloom]

-# so I can DM, right?

[meager kernel]

yes

[torn cedar]

#boxes and usually you just ask for a nudge in the right direction

You'd be surprised how much a nudge can help

[cerulean bloom]

ahh, cool

[supple plume]

This machine is so bad

Is so poorly made I hated it

I ranked it as minimum as possible and I don't rank machines usually

[meager kernel]

still took me a bit of time to get through

cause i missed the twist
