Are there any Distros besides Kali and Parrot geared towards cybersecurity or pen-testing? I only know of those two

Hey guys so I'm having this problem

#

Where in nim, nimcrypto doesn't have RSA functionality

carmine pecan
#

Kogama

clear anvil
#

So I tried using openssl, and now I'm getting a message "cannot open file: openssl/bio" which is weird

#

Chatgpt said that this is likely an internal system error and is not a nim issue.

obtuse fern
#

maybe something like that?

clear anvil
#

I tried that already

#

I tried using environment variables to set the flags and the nim argument that could also set flags

#

I mean it would be better to use nimcrypto

#

But somehow it doesnt exist

obtuse fern
#

i mean there's not really much to go off of; i'm guessing you're using openssl in a windows environment? or linux?

#

if Linux openssl should be in your distro's repository (usually)

#

apt install --reinstall openssl --fix-broken <-- maybe?

clear anvil
#

I'm using Debian

#

I have tried updating it

#

I guess I'll reinstall

#

Also, isn't Debians repo outdated compared to others to keep it stable?

guys a questionnn about the vip

unstable version of debian

or ubuntu tbh

#

Hello everyone

clear anvil
#

Is it just a debian repo issue

obtuse fern
#

could be a broken install

clear anvil
#

Or does nimcrypto not have rsa

obtuse fern
#

that's a question for google tbh

clear anvil
#

I already did

#

Gemini told me that my installation is faulty of nim

#

I already reinstalled NIM a 100 hundred times along with all it's subsidiaries

this is just an old person perspective, but that woman likely stepped in about the wig thing because it's giving TMI in a case where someone doesn't know you

that's actually a more universal thing - if you're just getting to know someone you don't need to TMI

Admins, staff, etc. I just had my second team member banned for what I can only describe as the most minor of infractions off the platform that it’s not only petty but starting to feel personal towards me and my team. Can one of the above please let me know if you have time to talk I would love to get this resolved.

It’s very crazy that this person got banned for what they posted not only being a long time and paying customer of HTB and its community but well respected within it. But also when you see the reason I feel like it should likely be addressed internally with staff because it’s honestly absolutely ridiculous.

#

This person was completely banned off platform and it was not justified in any sane sense of the word.

#

For the infraction that is being implied.

#

I legit feel like this one was someone reaching for a ban hammer and being ban happy without using any common sense.

@gray terrace You are welcome to reach out to me if you'd like. That being said when it comes to bans, at times not much may be shared and we do have our reasons for them.

That's not to say our team doesn't make mistakes.

The person banned should also be reaching out to bans@hackthebox.com to appeal if they feel it is an unjust ban.

I am a rookie, I don't know that what things I can do or not on online and on which platform, I am also new to discord and when I joined hackthebox. I came into this server and saw people who are really pasionate about this thing and really wanted to learn things with them , so I just write here so I can accomplish my goal and if a expert in this can correct if I am wrong then it would be great but if nobody sees it and ignore it then also its fine, I will do my thing

@terse dirge You ever get into any Fediverse stuff?

#

I just got done setting up Misskey, but then migrated it to Sharkey, but still have my Misskey container.

#

I tried out Akkoma but it's got some bugs so I decided to use Misskey/Sharkey

#

I need a minimal and low on resources standalone social platform for a small community

#

I checked out gotosocial but that's just too minimal.

terse dirge
worthy cargo
#

Federated social platforms

#

Like Mastadon, ever heard of that?

#

ActivityPub protocol

#

It's like a twitter alternative, open source, and federated. You can federate with other instances

terse dirge
#

sounds like a nightmare to moderate

worthy cargo
#

It probably is. I don't use mastadon, but I can federate with it.

#

Plus it is a resource hog

#

Misskey/sharkey is mid level resource hog

#

Gotosocial is minimal so it uses less resources and it's bloody fast

#

The Fediverse is a collection of interconnected social media platforms that can communicate with each other using a common protocol called ActivityPub. It allows users to share content and interact across different platforms while maintaining control over their data and privacy.

#

There is a very popular one called infosec.exchange

#

Lots of good security folks there

terse dirge
#

I don't really understand the point of them tbh.

#

it's like having a subreddit but you control your own platform?

is this according to the role? like for the blue teaming, red teaming like these one?

I am really new in this it could be help ful if somebody explains it to me

Machines are basically standalone systems that you're meant to hack.
Challenges can vary depending on each category, there are things like web, cryptography, forensics, etc etc.
Sherlocks are like investigative, defensive scenarios, usually when you're analyzing artifacts post-compromise.
Starting point is where you learn the basics of how to hack machines. Basic services, protocols, etc.

hehe, I'm using a modular microservice architecture to prevent trash like elastic or wazuh

ya, a real big issue with elastic and wazuh is everything is pretty tightly coupled together so if one componet fails then pretty much the entire thing won't work properly

Let's use our thinin caps real quick, if discord owns your account and you try to get into someone else's account then who did you have to get through to get to that account, what website did you use to log into that now stolen account?
