Are there any Distros besides Kali and Parrot geared towards cybersecurity or pen-testing? I only know of those two
lets see there is blackarch pentoo blackbox(almost dead if not fully)
samurai framework etc
:0 Thx
these 3 are stable ones atleast
many people use their fav normal distro and install the tools
Golam what distro do you use btw?
That was recommended to me, but I'm too lazy to do it😅
Yeaaaaah

Hey guys so I'm having this problem
Where in nim, nimcrypto doesn't have RSA functionality
Kogama
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.
maybe something like that?
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
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?
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Also, isn't Debians repo outdated compared to others to keep it stable?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
you can use sid
unstable version of debian
or ubuntu tbh
can i use my mail from school secundary for get a best price? im from argentina
univ?
no student discount for labs
And what is this discount they told me about that's $8?}
that's for academy
its for academy student sub
oh alr alr
Hello everyone
No, still the same problem
Is it just a debian repo issue
could be a broken install
Or does nimcrypto not have rsa
that's a question for google tbh
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
Debian moment 
De ian
Do a sudo apt full-upgrade -y
could be a faulty install of your whole OS
Guess what y'all!
sad that debra and ian are no longer together
If you've already done that then check your sources and change it to stable instead of bullseye
You get it?
I'm kidnapping @lime trout and there's nothing y'all can do about it!
I'm 1 block from her

but how far can you go
Debian kinda sucks ngl I hate their security model
and rolling release distros are a bit annoying to deal with when you want to upgrade packages
I can grab her and take her back to the states 
why would you force that torture on her?
hey I'm new here 
Hi new here
I did way worse.... I forced her to New Jersey and to her favorite airport, Newark.
Hi new here
If you know Emma, you know she hates Newark
Sir, i think everyone who has to fly through EWR hates EWR
esp rn

if your flight isnt delayed thats winning the lottery
i try to avoid EWR, JFK, LGA, IAD, DCA these days
just soo many delays
seems to be IAH having issues today though
with DFW, BOS, EWR, SEA projected to have issues later
Im too poor to afford a flight what do i do then
walk
ships are cheap
walking to greece rn from america brb
you cant walk on water
Swim
DFW? I can guess Boston, Seattle, i dont knoe IAD or DCA
IAD/DCA = Washington DC
DFW is dallas fortworth

Ah

i just googled kewl
make fun of him
lol, why gif went as link
bc we are noob
Isn’t Canada just an extension of nyc?
#jk
Been to the Niagara Falls, liked Canadian side more
bruh..
Canadian border force was like why the F are you with an Indian person with an American passport and 2 Belgians sitting in one car
really?
Yes
When we told her our story, she was like wow that’s cool 🤣
The guy and I met on Everest. The year before he visited Belgium, now he was showing us around
American border patrol be like <redacted due to this statement being political>
Yes. I had like 5kg of chocolate and coffee in my suitcase. Border force in NYC was like, Damn the receiver gonna be happy
Ain't that the city we drove through it and it was dead?
Border patrol
no?
toronto is 6h from here
ottawa is where we went
Ooooooooh
i live in oshawott canada

i really dont get that
Me either
just tell the truth and move on
I’ll usually make some joke where she turns even more red
Afterwards she’ll be so angry
Worth every penny
Can I have some of tht penny too
She’s extra nervous because she thinks her English sucks
Buying an icecream with tht wouldn't be a bad idea
Cream

Then after the icecream she was like, more pizza please

I don't get ragebaited anymore
Vanillen Icecremem!
I have transcendent
damn I was just looking for boba places lol
guys think carefully before making an offsec learning account, because there's no option for deleting your account once it's created , the only way is to email them with every personal info of yours 🤡
fair i mean
the only border thats ever given me issues is the UK
but for an understandable issue im honestly just surprised on other border cared about
Ahhh
hi hi what are you guys all talking about ?
We get a funny eye when we just travel for the day to the UK
(they where slightly sketched out at a 16 y/o travelling alone to just stay/hangout with friends)
but no other border cared 🤷
Ice cream obv
if it's ice cream maybe like a self-serve frogurt place?
Sounds yum too
Froyo
yea, and you don't really have to talk or interact much aside from paying
Can u buy me one?
Pls
Come over. I’ll buy you 10 scoops
if you lived nearby lmao
Goat milk ice cream though
On my way
i mean the personal info part makes sense - you dont want someone else deleteing your account
I live in the middle of nowhere though haha
I Haven't ever drank goat milk 💀
Ok
It’s 54 days to Christmas
I usually just get ice cream from the supermarket unless it's a shake
Ok
oof don't remind me
I'm soo excited for cactuscon in February chat
Why’s that? You speaking?
cactuscon
I eat it everyday
Me either. But the ice cream is 🔥
no
then why is there a need for password based logging in , it should be only (show your id and get in) based
I buy it fresh from one of my dad's friend
there are usually ordinances for whether you can have chickens
True

We have temporarily stocked our chickens with my parent in laws

I never said anything about who flirts with/annoys
@supple plume i announce a full fledged war against u now
I just assumed it to be 😅
I’m choosing your side
I just annoy I don't flirt
Because we share love for ice cream
I share love of Cheese.
yea like I forget the stat but like everyone has someone in their circle of friends who has committed murder or some crap
I run CheeseCon every year at DEFCON. We just had CheeseCon 3 at DEFCON 33 this year.
I don’t do blue cheese, but I do love other cheeses too

🔥
vro I just googled chinese cheese
Lol
Oh you got yo try Stilton. It's a blue cheese, but everyone who said they hate blue cheese tried it and ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT
no
I’ll have a look into it 😄
blue stands for rotten bread crumbs
It doesn't look tasty
wow
you never had blue cheese?
No, infact it's my first time seeing a pic of one
blue cheese > ranch
It's not a common thing here I suppose
it's more like controlled fermentation of specific bacteria
which one is the tastiest ?
Garlic lol
I also 3d printed those CheeseCon 3 badge.
https://youtu.be/Dhqh3WF6ttI 4:15 he talked about us at 32
Then he had my personalized CheeseCon 3 badge I personally gave him with his name on it, he has that in his thumbnail.

This message made MrPetals be banned
Thank you for the mods who were not reckless and impulsive at all
"spoilers" they say...
As a man of Wisconsin this makes me happy
Are you guys high?
btw i use arch
how was hacktheboo this year?
im gonna do the challenges tomorrow
are they online?
Sup guys what's going on
if you were banned you wouldn't still be here
Well I am banned in the platform for 'Spoilers'
But no one I know accept that the message I sent is spoiler
there should have been an email to reach out to to appeal
if it's a platform ban, then it was staff not mod
I don't have the details on that; there should be an email on the ban message
bans@hackthebox.com you might also be able to reach out to customerops@hackthebox.com
too long
with great power comes a lot of sex
hey
😉
approching girls in person felt SO much better holy shit
no luck today but i'll keep trying ;3
i feel bad for guys who only online
were getting a dating channel?
Hallicon has decided General is that place
bro just discovered human interactions
I dont know i did something
well yea
to fix my neurons and now im more social
interacting with your peers in person is also good for your health once in a while
no drugs
I'm extremely introverted and still force myself once in a while to do things
no in-person
nah too much work
I get that, but even like striking up small talk with ppl if you're at a store
it's good for ya mentally
nah see okay let me explain
when I talk to someone
it's because I want something from them
why?
I don't know 
do the opposite somewhere
I listen a LOT more than I talk
in person
occasionally people will give me knowledge or information i want etc i get it out of them lol
like for example my coworker told me about how he wears a wig
after i asked him how he polishes his boots
one of the girls i approached today was like "oh you shouldn't tell them xyz because you're gonna scare the girls away" I thought about it for a while how to respond to that and it was too late but "I wanted to reply with if a girl doesn't like honesty, maybe it's because she's not honest"
my last girlfriend was honest as hell it's a shame that she had 4 kids and I didn't want to be a surrogate dad.
how does this equate
I'm not following your logic here
wtf has this chat become
^
it's simple, if you like honesty right
then you're just gonna have honest people around you
honesty is a lie.
nah
yea - there's not 1 person in the world that's 100% honest lol
https://youtu.be/5VlhsT5Kbsk?si=UoDvPodafHTrQfeh a must watch
In March, former national security advisor Mike Waltz accidentally invited a journalist into his war crimes Signal group with other senior Trump officials. “We are currently clean on OPSEC,” secretary of defense Pete Hegseth posted to the group. In May, Waltz was photographed clandestinely checking his Signal messages under the table during ...
@minor heart have I lied to you?
it's not whether you have/haven't - the idea that ppl are 100% honest is in itself a lie
I'm 100% honest
but my gist is you only attract what you are, so in principle you know....
xyz
this isn't a solid truth
you can attract ppl with bad intentions for sure and it has absolutely nothing to do with you
by that logic if a woman attracts a serial killer's attention she's a serial killer? na
yay due to severe abuse from staff I am sueing HTB
lol
that's a good argument
i smell lying happening here
Hi guys, I need a help 👋
I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but it's ok, I'll try...
Until today I had a VIP subscription, and I truly appreciate it...! Unfortunately last month I unsubscribed for some reasons, but now I totally regret it! I would like to upgrade my plan again but... I can't find the VIP subscription anymore! Only VIP+, which is more expensive... What can I do?
Thank you!
I'm thinking
wait until you get more money?
@frail turtle did u click 'im under 18' on adult websites when u were younger
no
damn he may be 100honest
....not trying to argue, but at the time i didn't have to either
contact support
Need to speak to a person? Learn how to reach our support via HTB Labs.
Thanks
I mean I try to be as much as possible
didnt they gwt rid of the VIP plan?
I don't like playing games with people, you know treat people how you want to be treated
yes
I can truly say this statement 👈 is a lie
thought so
but if you think this statement is a lie then is not
they said it's because of growing infrastructure they had to increase the price
well I just dont want people you know to play games with me irl
anyone play runescape?
if you're kind to someone, maybe they'll be kind back who knows
They dropped vip altogether#📣-announcements message
depends on the definition of a lie
this statement is a lie 👈
the cake is a lie!
this isn't a guarantee, but being kind to people because you're kind is always a better bet
just my personal opinion though
that's true
but at least you wont attract them if they're bad
they'll stay away from you
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
what woman
in your story above
my coworker who has a wig is a guy
one of the girls i approached today was like "oh you shouldn't tell them xyz because you're gonna scare the girls away"
that's actually a more universal thing - if you're just getting to know someone you don't need to TMI
a lot of ppl see that as a red flag
I haven't had any negative interactions though
in fact got praised for being honest
it's not something any person would really look down on
well decent person
but you don't want to be like Hi - here's my entire life story + medical history + very personal details of my life
this girl you just brought back up was an 18 year old, and she hasn't really experienced life yet. didn't really know what she was talking about.
but im not like that lol i didn't even say what xyz was
aye kk
xyz if you wanted to know was that I was looking for this girl she was talking to, because I wanted to connect intimately with her.
this is such a weird convo for htb ;-;
and for some reason she said not to say that idk, but she's young, not much experience with guys, has a boyfriend too we connected well but i didn't want anything with her.
Hey you the one who opened pandora's box I just showed the box
Brother desperately wants to once again not know the contents of schroedingers box
But it’s too late friend
Now you know
I'm still trying to think about
if you attract a serial killer
then are you a serial killer
it begs the question...what kind of person actually falls under a serial killer's charm
Does anyone have a hint for Conversor Foothold? Im stuck for 4 hours on a rabbithole

Just seen a linkedin post about how celebrating a new cert isn’t cyber aware and could lead to impersonation and access lol
you need to wait 24 hours because the box is new
it needs to be atleast a day old before getting hints
It is Old tho
People Wrote in that Channel more than 3 Days ago
so is actually being on linkedin lol.
my bad then, I forgot about the new #1434235319502377251
normally seasonal boxes have their own channels I guess not anymore
See #📣-announcements
Current plan is to lock/close the forums as boxes retire to prevent necro threads
wher is the new box channel
hey
Its in #1434235319502377251
yeah I already got told not to ask for nudges ther xd
24 hour rule, yeah

Hello all,
So, I just joined this channel and had a walk through HTB. I'm excited to learn with you all. Greetings everyone!!
Good night
Hi, American here, but dont watch college football
I like extreme sports
greetings, im doing a research project on the mentality needed to dive into cyber security for my neurology class and I'd like to interview some people from here
dm me if youre interested and wanna talk about your cybersec career and yourself
for legal purposes I am obliged to tell you that results may be posted and you consent to that by participating but you can be anonymous if you wish to
Ill dm you

holy shit
working at autozone without much rest was eating me alive i mean i get paid for a good number of days but man it's nice to have a 3 day break on the weekends
god bless my boss
i dont believe in god
u have cpts and ur working at autozone?
as cybersec?
What you think employers care about your skills? Your credentials?
Dude I'm a store worker
o
you could be the best of the best it's very hard to get into cyber
because Americans are highly egotistical arrogant people in the tech space.
or well, it depends on many factors of course
you could be absolute shit too.
like there's a lot of C++ devs that are not cracked for example
and look for jobs in fintech
where it's pretty much required to be cracked
and becoming cracked at C++ will leave you looking like coding jesus so it's a double edged sword 
that guy looks like he never sleeps it's sad
🤷♂️ i was helpdesk for 2 years, sysadmin for 2 and now cyber
i feel like that slow
I would go crazy spending that much time in computers
exactly, i went to college for philosophu lol
not crazy enough
ok good that's good 
heelllo
I’m 4 years in too. 1 1/2 of support and 2 1/2 network & security operations.
Next is getting into a soc role ideally.

Thats awesome
I'm chilling big at the Halloween party
I read a lot of philosophy and esoteric stuff and i always like talking about it to anyone that has an interest
yoo someone can help me with a lab? retired, named Cap, is easy but i dont understand
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.
Does anyone else struggle with reading I have the shortest attention span ever and I suck at reading like I forget everything after 5 seconds and rn I’m currently learning metasploit and I can’t remember anything
Yes
Do you have a solution or something
Take notes. Ur notes are ur second brain. Just understand what metasploit does and after that write ur notes.
- if u're someone who scrolls a lot, reduce the screen time bcs too much scrolling fks the attention span
Ok thanks
hello guys
is anyone here familiar with dotfiles ?
im assuming this is primarily a linux based community so i wanted to start here an maybe asl questions
dotfiles are quite literally just hidden files, such as .config. You can go onto r/unixporn on reddit to find a lot of different dotfiles to choose from, fork and modify however you want it
as buffoonery said, dotfiles are just hidden files - the name comes from the fact they have a dot (.) prefix
Yesterday Accomplished goal

?

? what happened
what is bro yapping about??
same ques
I just write here my goals in public so that I can accomplish otherwise I just write and never look back into it
I procrastinate a lot to study for cybersecurity that's why
why not post it on linkedin instead of on discord?
I have an account there and I post the things I did like in the form of short post , but this is also a good idea to write it there also thanks
ho
community here is very awesome I know that there are like minded people here and I always wanted to connect to like minded people who talk about cybersecurity and also learn from them
but you can just talkin to about it in general chat, don't send message like this. Too cringe tbh
Never tell people what you plan to do. Just do it and tell them after it's done

Or better yet, keep a to do list in a todo app
HTB Motto - Don't be a troll
Hello
i think he was got a first time to use Discord at the moment i guess
I wanted to talk but I don't know where to start off or people just don't listen to beginners like the topics I see here in the general chat I have never listened them about so its like "why would they talk to me I don't know much about cybersecurity" and who cares it is cringe or not there are thousand of people in server and only a few notices and react to them so it is not cringe

bro...sound like google translate language
...
just
yeah but what if I just don't accomplish those things which I say to myself , I have a bad habit of procrastination and perfectionism that's why I just wrote here I also write those thing in my physical notebook where I also tick those things off but doing this thing here make me accountable
have a normal talking
Fix your bad habits
ig, everyone notices but doesn't react, this is the biggest reaction ur getting
god sake
Bad habits are a result of choices you make everyday for a long period of time. Bad habits don't just develop like that spontaneously.
yah that's fine also if nobody reacts to it like what will happen if somebody reacts to it nothing
This doesn't make you accountable. This gives you dopamine from attention.
You're a dopamine junkie
I know that and fixing also works in the same its the choices you choose opposite everyday that you always chose
First, try more punctuation.
Reading your texts are very difficult without punctuation. It's like I'm you're talking without taking a breath
Just getting crap out
maybe you can start for asking, this is general chat dude. Not Linkedin or any noteapp relevant dude
I don't get attention from this If nobody reacts to it I don't care and if somebody does I also don't care
I never wrote online that is why, I don't know about punctuation much enough
The only result you'll gain from this is people won't want to talk to you and ignore you and chalk you up as some annoying prick. You're not doing yourself any favors
hh looks like I should stop doing that
why are we crashing out over someone posting their goals in chat
trust me it is not that deep
just smile and wave boys
I am not doing this for anybody , I am doing this for myself.
yoo
nah, u can keep talkin. Cuz i just want you know how to using Discord btw
keep chatting bruh
It's like getting a tattoo on your face, and then saying you did that for yourself. No you did that for the world to see.
dear lord
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
i don't have any issue with what you did. you did nothing wrong
Yeah I think I should learn this thing I am really bad in this thing
don't matter w that
keep smiling bruh
Hey, I can't just here explain anything to anybody nobody cares so if you don't like me writing my goals here why can't you just ignore me like everybody else
😄
It's not about me liking or disliking something. At all.
yeah its about me stopping those things to do in this server or chat, right?
hey guys
Professional stranger here, let's drop it and move on. Who cares if someone posts their goals or not. It's not like the world is gonna explode or something
It's an old adage that goes, those who tell the world their plans never actually see them to fruition.
Hey hey 👋
You can chat here about whatever, so long as you don't break the rules. However, telling people your goals is one thing, but using chat as a to do app is another thing.
what are you talking about?
yeah I know that, it can also be possible I will stop doing it in the future once I learn those basic things and start learning cybersecurity consistently, Its been only two days I have started writing my goals and 2 week learning cybersecurity
I'm not really talking about anything in particular other than these two talking about posting goals and such.
Yeah that's right using chat as to-do app is another thing but why can't you just ignore it like you ignore anybody else chat. I just write 4-5 things in my whole day in one chat and nothing, so I don't think anybody should be troubled by this
that's why i luv Discord
Discord looking a bit Kawaii~
Bro is super argumentative.
uh, then I'll follow their speeches
Yeah, you'll get better context if you just back track through their previous messages.
it can be same to you, because you could have just ignore it in the starting but NO you are like " I want to stop this guy posting his goals to this chat because it doesn't looks right"
click my profile, i was changed a theme
chill man
I was actually going back to the top
let's him cook himself
If I wasn't on mobile rn, my eyes wouldn't be hurting. But it's a nice theme.
time to do seasonal machine
buddy then what are you just telling me to do that? it really seems what you are explaining to me by seeing older messages
No bro said that I want to stop him from talking. I literally just told him, chat about whatever so long as you don't break the rules. I can't do anything about his sub-par reading/comprehension skills.
i pwned it
but I didn't break any rules is there any rules writing goal or personal thing in the General chat is discarding the rules?
Holy shit with this guy.
Im scared that I dont know how to solve it
👍
i'm workin w AWS & K8S everyday tbh
that's too easy w me
:)))
Going back to school to learn how to read and comprehend what you read would help you tremendously.
😭
guess im gonna stuck on this machine for a long while
Thanks will look into it👍
but i confirmed the new machine got more diffirent than ex-machine
+1 respect to box creator
base64 passwords can go to hell
@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.
I've never heard of that before
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
ik mastadon but I never knew that it was a decentralized social networking platform
sounds like a nightmare to moderate
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
I don't really understand the point of them tbh.
it's like having a subreddit but you control your own platform?
The point is to be social online yet maintain control over your own data
that's what I'm understanding
Plus it's fun
Have you heard of Matrix.org?
The matrix platform, accessible via element.io?
Peertube - Javascript based youtube clone. A decentralized video hosting network, based on free/libre software.
I'm going to set that up next
I think
charged for battery? yea that's usually how those work

no
I'm vibe coding a matrix bot in python. Got 20+ plugins so far in the bot
Here is the plugin list so far
tf, apparently babymetal and resident evil are doing a collab
What's a fediverse?
what is this tag of HTB means?
with the name
I know its Hack the box but how does someone gets it?
just hack the box
HTB have these boxes for hacking the boxes
gotta verify in #bot-commands
for roles
No I asked what does it mean having roles?
like he was talk
Oh now I understand its like a tag which will appear in every server no matter what server I go in
Yes, that's right
Ok thanks
and What does roles mean in servers like I have seen many profiles have roles in it
Roles are generally stuff that allows users to distinguish who is a mod, who isnt, and with htb they reflect your rank on https://app.hackthebox.com
Sometimes fun vanity roles happen like for April fools
ok Understood
I am beginner in hack the box I learn from the modules they provide in the academy yesterday I explored HTB labs and finded out there are labs which we can practice by spawning it and doing the things in it
Yup
But I have some doubts there are different section in it, like I saw challenges, starting point and something sherlock what are those things
is this according to the role? like for the blue teaming, red teaming like these one?
and Machines also what is this?
I am really new in this it could be help ful if somebody explains it to me
HI everyone.. I am a complete beginner in cybersecurity.. can u guide me where to start
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.

@neon zealot thx..
Hi
gud afternoon dude
does anyone know why most of the LAN attacks (and most net exploits ive seen, at least for smb) are made in python?
because python has been around a while, and it's simple to write in without having to fully compile a program; write in C? gotta compile that, Rust... compile... Python? Just gotta have Python installed to invoke it. That and most LAN attacks/net exploits are being run from a Linux machine, MOST distributions carry Python by default
really?? I used to think it had some greater advantage in its library for handling these types of activities
i mean python is decent at it, but by a lot of measures it's a lot slower in most cases
WHO THE HELL IS BROCKO BAMA
also, libraries* not library
yeah
python has many libraries, when you use pip(x) install somenamehere; you're installing the library onto your system which may or may not be used by programs
import X
^ importing a library to do additional functions that may not be available in the base python coding
pretty much ALL libraries are required to have documentation
it depends; there's some networking stuff already available in the base built-in functions
sections with interactive targets count as 1; not sure how it counts AD/multi-machine labs/assessments
Thank you so much budy Now I understood the basic fundamentals of lab
Yeah, I think so, but anyway, I finally reached 1,000 targets 
Howdy chat
GG
@cerulean bloom you did seasonal?
chat went back in time
fr lol
what is this
2025-11-02 13:18:53 Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: bad packet ID (may be a replay): [ #12796 ] -- see the man page entry for --no-replay and --replay-window for more info or silence this warning with --mute-replay-warnings
on vpn
it's nothing, you can ignore
not yet, did you?
No, will do it tomorrow most probably
Got some work today
Yo the 20th of march do you know any binex machines?
i pushed him off the mountain
But seriously, where is he
Is he alright
not sure about machines, but there are definitely #challenges
I will be checking that out thankd
SIEM alert: "all your base are belong to us"
hehe, I'm using a modular microservice architecture to prevent trash like elastic or wazuh
and so people can make their own modules for things like enrichment, custom alerts, etc.
very smart
I still need to get more agent management features on the core api tho for things like configuration updates
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
my current docs aren't the greatest 😅
conductor tells orchestra where modules are for further enrichment, alerts, or processing
what api you using?
I'm using gin to make my own
obviously it'll be in go 
at that point just write the whole thing in go
why even use all these frameworks
I added some quality of life changes and error handling tonight
because they wrap other things and make my life a bit easier
so why write your own api?
because I need to make mine as minimal as possible while still having just enough features to be usable
I did use Claude's help to make a custom gin framework for modules (for accessibility reasons because not everyone knows how to use gin)
I'll make a few modules/integrations to get the ecosystem for this started once I get the core components done like the api, a basic agent, fool proof my alerts microservice, conductor, and orchestra
is claude better than gemini?
probably, idk
gemini is most lenient with shady shi~ claude is better at the computer shi~
no sweari~
I've been writing a decent amount of the code by hand but with some of the stuff I'm too lazy to do or don't know how to fix I'll just use AI
I would say grok is more lenient with that 😭
That ain't a rule mate, I should know, I'm a mod 
i know im making a reference to the shi~ stuff
Then why aren't you swearing
Because I gotta set a good example 
rock band? i didn't know that those could play instruments 😭
Swearing is only natural 🤷
aight, here we go again with unhinged omster... let's hear it
surprisingly rather tame today... 
Cod mobilea anticheats are being stubborn and annoying. I've been trying to do some static analysis on the game with Frida, but they don't let me hook in. Idk how to even stop it from blocking me.
It's almost like they have a dedicated security team or some shit
He also used to be a wholesome streamer
💀
What is blizzard?
Activision?
but did you know || he used to work for blizzard ||
Are they responsible for anticheats?

You should know bc you were on game of thrones
I've never seen game of thrones
all I've heard is it's walking and talking in the snow
Well usually they wouldnt want you to hack in their game
I think this benadryl is kicking in and finally clearing my nose
@warped plank you should help me build a super l33t cat themed UI for it 👀
Well usually I would
actual scene in maniac btw, it's peak
Is maniac based on medieval Europe?
no
there's a dnd themed episode tho or fantasy themed
Oh okay
it's kinda like mr robot but without the hacking
(I know it sounds insanely lame but it's actually really good)
IDK my design skills aren't what they used to be
Mr. Robot is just unnecessarily dramatizing trauma
Maniac is pretty much dramatizing trauma 
As long as the trauma is deserving of the drama it's okay lol
In Mr robot he just has these multiple personalities, lack of memory, delusions, all bc of a rough childhood lmao
the show stars Emma Stone, Jonah Hill, Sally Field
Not finding it funny but that's pretty much everyone's childhood in 3rd world countries, yet we don't have any of that
Oh cool
nth world country is outdated terminology
I say this everytime I see it 
that's not what this server is for
ironically, this is what I'm doing now:
fuckin use the seriousrulebreak ping you dorks
Lol I assumed you were going to look here... sooner or later
Lmao haha
thought no one saw him
Nah, that's only for special occasions
imagine gif failed and still got caught
Well hi haha, hoped no one saw yea hahah
what was it gng
@rustic carbon what you are asking for is illegal; bear in mind the #rules
what did he asked?
Ive gotta know what this guy posted
about hacking a discord account
Bruh
of his girl friend?
I deadass thought it was gonna be interesting
Why are you saying it's illegal like there's even a slight possibility of hacking into discord servers and gaining access to a specific account?
it is
yes, it is
No
It has happened a lot in the past actually
you don't own your account
what most people to do is fuzz with the token system
it's possible to hack accounts, via social engineering
namely otaxxing or whatever
Oh heah
like, you're completely discounting that fact
But that requires no cyber skill
but even then; the answer still remains
even if it were possible: it's still illegal to 'hack back' an account (if we believe the story in the first place
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?
Answer is discord!
wow it appears discord has had a bunch of RCE exploits
💀
Probably in the electron app for desktop
there is a way that people have gotten around that through token grabbing
Correct
I believe in modern ones it is something to do with repackaging a file
You guys talk about casually being able to hack discord like a discord 0day would cost millions
Which is why for ordinary people like us, it might as well be considered unhackable
It's not a discord 0 day, it's CVEs for electron 
that's a fallacy to think that
I think you are confusing us with hacking discord itself as in webservers and using exploits in discord
Unless you're a state sponsored hackers group
I think its clear you can hack discord accounts
a dude literally hacked discord by social engineering an outsourced support person
This was kinda funny cuz
How do you get that fat of a breach by just paying someone 500
Yeah maricie I get that social engineering is not a zero day
by paying someone substantially less than $500
The dude who accepted it didnt deserve a fire as a punishment
My dude deserved an execution
At the stake 😭
nah
