Home labs can get expensive
Just experience ones
Nothing super crazy
I’ve got tons of old devices lying around I can take advantage of
Nice
I wanna do something like that
I found this sys admin course that does like a bunch of home lab tutorials
I used to buy a few 1U blades off Ebay for like dirt cheap
i subscribed to HTB academy Gold tonight. pretty stoked. studying the CPTS path.... also, casually ordered CCNA 200-301 books off amazon
Okay maybe Debian boots this time
Ohp I guess not
I’m stuck in a boot loader loop hmmm
thanks
yeah, that's what i'm thinking about doing
we'll see
yep, that's on the to-do list
Did you try updating your bios?
Fuck wtf
what's that other network sim tool. GNS3 i think is the name of it. pretty hefty. a buddy showed me it a while back
but i think it costs $
haha, nah i'm not ;D
It’s already using UEFI and I configured the drive with Rufus and confirmed that. I’m pretty sure I had a BIOS update not too long ago
Try using etcher for flashing USBs.
That’s what I was don’t before but it wasn’t as consistent for me as Rufus was
Okay I’m getting some kind of error but it’s going to fast for me to see
Hey guys are ctf actually accurate to simulate real world?
I dont feel like they are
No CTFs are generally not made to be real world like
Kinda
Real world attacks are much more simpler 90% of the time
Seems the error was cause I left secure boot on
I think of CTFs like the morning crossword
But much more fun
Yea they are like fun puzzles than actual hardcore hacking
yeah, i've heard the same thing. makes sense.
The main difference is you dont have the source code in real world
unless they don't lock down their repo, right? ha
I would assume real world ones would be a little harder
i mean why hasn’t someone hacked discord already
I would say 80% of real world hacks you see are from phising attempts or malware
yeah, pretty sure discord has been hacked multiple times, resulting in massive data breaches
Leaking personal information about people
ahem
Dude's clearly uninformed
someone got access to discord's zendesk
if you watched the ntts video, apparently he just manipulated zendesk employees to give him access to it
@worthy cargo hey
Hello
Yep that mostly probably how it was done
@worthy cargo I'm null check dms
yes
which makes it not really a hack
Hacking isnt cool no more tbh
Hmm
Why do you want to be my friend?
the 2000s was a much more fun to be a hcker
@worthy cargo nothing
I forgot
Well idk may the vibecoding boom may bring it back
AI has been excellent at coding for me.
Not the actual ones
its mostly just phising and malware now
actual real world hacks
yes but the its the easiest and fastest way
You can but not the high profile big ones
unless you have plenty of money and resources
well
the current problem with real world hacks is you have to do a lot more before that to avoid being arrested
I did not think I'd get cleaned out of candy ton but here we are
wdym
r u guy get ready for nnn?
the 2000s and the 90's are nostalgic, but do you mean because it required way less skill ? ;P
Why is Dell like this
I'm just teasing
I just want to use Debian
no but it requires wayyy more skill now
most of the its impossible even with all the skills
It actually doesn't
well yes but
there's another component to it
I am talking about the hacks tht actually more it to the news
most of the times its just phising hack
no it isn't
the class of hacks hasn't changed - at the time and during the 90's they were just as 'technical' in a sense because there was a lack of understanding of how various things worked
People put the leg work in to make it easier
through research and such
and thus the understanding improved
and at the same time advanced
it's a yin yang cycle and always kind of has been
and no it's not just phishing hacks
everything changes - it's harder to fix a car in some respects now compared to when they first came out. that doesn't mean people who enjoy cars stop becoming mechanics
kwim?
Okay I think I found something that might work now
I just wanna use Linux on this arm laptop
i wonder why the most prominent “real world hacking” right now is exploit developing
like
I guess it’s kinda the pinnacle of hacking
It’s both highly technically difficult to make and operationally difficult to implement
WHY THE FUC DOESNT THIS INSTSLL WORK
NOTHING MAKES SENSE
cuz it's arm lmao
Thanks bud
You could probably be able to install linux in a vm by using vmware fusion
this is such a weird term
That's as long as debian supports an arm image
are you on mac?
Uh oh don't tell me it's snapdragon
Yup
I’ve done so much research and they say they have images that are compatible now
I just get stuck in the fucking boot loader and if not that then I get an error related to secure boot. Which makes no sense since that’s disabled
Yep same problem
Running the expert install it’s showing that it has some problem with secure boot
Idt hacking as a skill was easier, but I think it was probably easier to stand out and get a job in CS if you were actually interested in the subject compared to today, where it's kinda blown up in popularity
I might sound dumb if i'm saying this, but is it because your computer is running on RAID instead of AHCI? @dusky jacinth
being proficient in cs right at the beginning / before the tech boom seems awesome
I'm not saying to change it right now, it's just a last resort
I have no clue honestly
did you already install Debian and it's just that you can't boot into it?
oh, gotcha. do you see the Debian entry in the boot menu?
I get to the grub boot install menu and if I go to my BIOS I can see my ISB
ok, so you actually get to the Debian boot menu? where it's like a blue-green background and says "Graphical Install" etc?
any staff around that handles bans? i have some questions about the process and what happens.
Yeah
I’ve run the install
Graphical and expert
Would you have any luck to instead using the live usb iso?
Just to get as much info as I can but the same error message keeps popping up and I looked it up and it says it’s something to do with the fact that secure boot wants it to be signed
I’m reading about a hybrid being more reliable
@dusky jacinth so did you complete the install or did it crash during the install?
It crashed
during the install? at what point? and do you have the exact error? can you take a picture of it?
I have the picture yeah
It happens pretty much immediately
The boot terminal shows up for a split second but hangs then crashes
I read it’s an error with the netinst.iso
hmm.... and this is during the install process? or after you've installed and try to boot into it?
During the instal
hmm
yeah, you can DM me

Hey guys

Hello
do u know anything about neurogrid ctf ?
any mods online?
I sent 1300 emails. Only half of them opened it and only 31 clicked the link inside. I need to figure out how to market better.
It was a email about a new article on my blog. People who signed up, I sent them an email about it. I need to make better titles and emails. To get more engagement.

This is the first real machine I've tried, and it's supposed to be easy, but I don't understand anything.
No NAT November.
Can you go the complete month without using NAT (Network Address Translation)?
IPv6 is the future!
Or the present
Go away 😭
Why?
Nobody want your ipv6 butt
But it's no NAT November
NO NAT NOVE
We'll have Dyson spheres before ipv6 is normalized 
"but companies are adopting it" who? Dunder Mifflin?
Hellooo

@scenic maple I bought a new monitor off of amazon 2 days ago and it came today broken
woe
that doesnt sound good
so I went to bestbuy and bought a new one instead
I'm still gonna return the monitor to amazon tho
It's Bezos fault
rip
Art
I was pretty pissed lmao
You should've took a better picture, cropped it
then sell it
Name it something artistic
Like: 'Bezos Is Gay'
gosh that is wrecked

Hey MrDonut
yessir
I.... do not know what that means
-# I'm only 14 🤣
shm shm
-# and before you ask, yes, my parents completed hte parental consent form, just waiting for HTB to respond to my email (and ticket which I have been waiting for 10+ hours)
I won't ask that
the parental consent thing is ridiculous
Back when 2018 no one cared if I was 14 to hax
Hax was free for all
Hax was freedom
I blame impetor




Shalom friends, Shalom
But Mr Donut you don't know basic Topology then?
You got to know what Donuts implies bro
I guess
🍩
Homeomorphic to it yes
Bestbuy is ass lol
They insult you sometimes
I bought a horse there once
unfortunately there's no microcenters in arizona
not yet
rnicrocenters
there's going to be one in phoenix but I don't wanna drive up to phoenix
100+ mile drive that I don't wanna do
Isn't California like literally nextdoor
is 6+ hours of a drive next door?
Wait isn't it close to Arizona maybe my map memory is wrong
new mexico is probably the closest state for me
Nothing is close to Cali
yes
arizona also borders nevada
Nevada means Icestorm
🎃
The.most I like about Arizona is asu
Arizona state university

There are cybersecurity professionals teaching and running pwn college

cactuscon is one of my favorite things in Arizona
I've never been to ASU
well you should visit once
where's country bro? that's arizona?
yes, I'm saying I've never been to the campus or taken classes there 
Untied Kingdom
but do you want to go there?
No US lmao
because I haven't gone to college yet
srry man 😅
the college I go to has a pretty neat cyber program
Pulled over by Arizona State troopers
what does it do
it cybers bro

Literally the same thing
why would c++ devs be pissed with rust compiler 
Because compiling programs are so 2024
because purple and aliens sometimes wear hats

@terse dirge why don't you have a pilots license?
thats a big donut
Cybersecurity Goal or Today ( 01-11-25 )
1.Complete the Ports and Protocols module in from the Network+ course
2.Practice Linux commands which I learned earlier and continue the lecture where I left off
3.Complete 3 rooms today from the THM pre-sercurity path
4.Complete 10+ sections from the information security Module on HTB
5.Do the Day-1 challenge of Linux upskill challenge
Tell me what OSPFv2 does in networks
I didn't reached to the topic of routing protocol yet Although I know only little bit about it because I studied this thing in my semester subject
does anybody here speak english? i need help figuring out what this guy is saying but i don't speak it...
None of us speaks English unfortunately
anyone here is good with virtualbox?
That's too hard to do

Yo did a htb staff manually reset my instance or something?
bro 😭
Good luck 🔥 
I just got a random hit on my webhook from this ip 146.70.246.118
thats a vpn in germany
I dont have any vpn on
Maybe som webcrawler or smt
som?
Some
why is it behind a vpn tho
And my instance got restarted on the same port like 2 min after that
its prob a htb staff
Use docker
Ah gl then
Dock her
Dock her
can i do the js obfuscation module if i dont know js?
Idk but why not learning some js before?
It's always good to know the basics
Also do you know any programming language?
can i do so without learning html css (i know really basic html, and 0 css)?
basic c++ only
Css is not really relevant for cyber
Knowing cpp is great but I would also recommend you to learn at least one interpreted language
They are very similar
am planning to learn python but after i finish CWES maybe
how deep should i go learning js (for CWES) i dont wanna waste any time
I would say clientside js is not very important
You can find some info digging in the front-end's source code
But usually small game IMO
may i dm you?
Sure

Congrats on Hacker rank man
Happy cybersecurity awareness month 🥳🥳
Indeed

She quit?
Just for more clarity
I have a question: why did my cubes only increase from 491 to 817 after I switched from the Student plan to the Platinum plan? I thought I would get 1000 cubes
I can't understand:((
I agree pour one out for the SOC
mean while the pentest team
pwning your AD with netexec because your fancy EDR noticed the samdump but didnt care enough to actually stop it
I can’t wait to be a soc analyst
new seasonal machine today 🔥 🔥
Wait i looked it up it was October 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Cyber_Security_Awareness_Month
National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) is observed in October in the United States of America. Started by the National Cyber Security Division within the Department of Homeland Security and the nonprofit National Cyber Security Alliance, the month raises awareness about the importance of cybersecurity.
Cybersecurity Awareness Month is o...
Oh im dumb
did you complete it?
I saw john hammond post today
its not released yet 🧍♂️
Man its been a long morning 😭😭😭
oh 🤣

No, today is one of the other 11 months when we all click phishing links and dont pay attention. Blackhats gotta eat
Muhehehe 😈
👀
in THM discord
what might it be if their name is swastick?
I made a tweet today in the same vein. Nov 1st is here, click those links from hr@thisisreal.com
The blackhats have KPIs to meet
he is missing parental consent
he is missing parents
Womp womp
Send the Batman gif again
Okay now my USB won’t even show up in my boot loader
What the fuck Dell
Wha the fuck Qualcomm
Maybe it's a rubber ducky
Womp womp fr
I guess I legit just don’t get to not use windows
I’ve had fun but Microsoft and Dell had decided that I don’t get to use anything but Windows from here on out
Like wtf
How does this even happen
Buy linux laptop
Maybe that crypto link finally worked 
Trying to install Debian 13 on my Snapdragon (which supposedly works), but either secure boot throws and error and then the boot crashes after getting to the grub loader to do the actual iso install, or rn where my USB isn’t showing up in my boot loader when accessing my BIOS
i lost the war against dollar general
why not disable secure boot
Where’d you get this from?
I am also reading though that changing from RAID to AHCI had been a nightmare
Idk I don’t really care
I can fix it if it breaks I’ve done so this far every time I bsod
Well it hasn’t really bsod’d on me but I’ve had to do a couple full recovery’s which were annoying
It just seriously hates the fact that I don’t wanna boot to windows anymore
Like it’s been insanely difficult for no reason
Never have I ever had this much trouble on any laptop I have ever owned ever
This is some absolute dog shit
Never buy a Dell Inspiron 14 5441, because it fucking hates you
luckily my parents completed mine

How do underaged people find the drive to dive in cybersecurity
Im genuinely impressed lol
my dad (who doesn't work in cysec) recommended me to start it this year
gotta earn that bread somehow

Bad news; it will only be gray hair
neurodivergence
That's the side effect
atleast not bald
entry level asks for 20+ years of experience so u might as well start cyber in the womb
Yeah neurodivergence helps
in english please 💀
at first
The bald part is for devs
This is the only correct answer
My autism and ADHD love bof
autism
honestly people should enjoy their teens instead working corporate
Like pure masochism at a young age
shrugh
Same
Well if cybersecurity fails we all know plan b 💀
"16500 Jira tickets to go"
army it is lmao
and making millions
c suite people get paid heavily
yup
NSA
My dad is a C suite
He is absolutely not napping
He has no time to do anything
My plan B is to be an animator
Plan C is farmer
What's for plan D if all failed
are you rich
I barely see him and I live in his house
Not all of them 
My plan B is also to be an animator
Plan C is a monk though
Special forces in the army is brutal lmao
Yes
then you are not the corporate grade c suite the evil one
spy for who
uh oh
Spy for the AI
aka instagram stalker 
Whoever pays me
I will remember this mr spy
tyler1 is playing minecraft time to skip studying
I have a job for ya

This dude was so last year 
?
He’s right
Nah if all else fails I’ll live in a basement and paint warhammer figurines till I crumble from starvation
Hi guys
Dully noted that he only said hi to the guys
you girls can go sit alone in the corner
:-:
ok so I am doing the Gandalf adventures (blocking prompt injection) and I am very new. How do you write a system prompt?
Bruh moment haha
Nice challenges
System Prompt is just a fancy word you see?
Prompt for what you want the system to more or less behave
^
has some good tips on AI hacking
In fact they are good enough to pwn the entirety of the Gandalf challenges
this is from the site itself and I quote: I'm Reverse Gandalf! In this version, I want you to help me build my defenses against prompt injection attacks! Hackers will try to get me to say "I have been PWNED"!
Give me instructions (a system prompt) on how not to get tricked. But be careful, you must not be too strict. I still need to be usable when harmless prompts are given. Not everything is a Prompt Injection!
I already did all 8 levels... this is defense
why?:(
the 8th level almost drove me nuts
Check learnprompting anyway
White gandalf eh? yup
I was one of the first to pwn it because I am friends with the co creator
i just started this thing like a week ago
where dis from
golam knows everything about it
Its a secret
boosting energy, improving immune function, and supporting heart and brain health
Um, could someone help me? I lost access to my HTB account linked to my Discord because I don't have access to 2FA.
What can I do?
contact support
Need to speak to a person? Learn how to reach our support via HTB Labs.
I tried, but the ticket stayed there; it was last weekend
give it some time
Fine, Thx
Haha no Thx, I already experience receiving ticket spam at my job, I don't want to do that

👼
yo guys
everyday is leg day
me at my work:3
Guys (and girls, if there are any ._.), what OS do you recommend? I used Kali for a while and then switched to Parrot HTB, and I was thinking of trying another one, but I don't know which one
Whatever works best for you tbh
average distro hopper question
is that bad?
no but its very common
ooooh, fine
for i used most distros and found out the right one
