You should probably learn a programming language or 2 before even thinking about starting malware dev.
most of people i know was just doing random stuff until they some how knew how to hack then learned
not learned then found
ill try both
ill start learning and try to find
happy weekend:)
Man Giveback is making me sweat ๐ But I'm learning alot
hello
the weekends are good for thinking
and drinking
indeed
Great minds think alike

these two may also go hand-in-hand /s
Happy bday
Why
The audacity
Of what
Of you
For
Yea
what'd he say?

Maybe you cuddle with me 
Goodnight chat

But it just makes it worse
Vro is it ansiety or heart issue
If you die let me know
Not so soon
Ok let me know by Christmas
If I die early who will cause chaos 
Why you so intrested are you behind my pc
The fact that the first thing I see in this chat is this 
I'm somehow behind yes
Welcome
It's not even good
Is true
Hope you're well bro 
Im behind literally behind

I love how HTB's standard of Very Easy is notwithstanding very complex operations, even in Starting Point - this is exactly what we need. So tired of YouTube videos and other materials that all cater to everyone, so half the video is teaching you to suck eggs with "This is what HTTP stands for", "Websites consist of web pages", etc.
Is there anyone who completed BSCP Exam these days? I want to ask some questions
websites consist of trash 
Lol i still havent finished starting point bc there were a few machines i just noped out on
They're by no means quick, all Very Easy but takes a good like 10-20 hours to do them
I'm up to the VIP machines of Tier 1 (second one)
FUCK EVERYBODY
Damn dude it usually takes me like 2-3 hours to pop a box
Bad day sheldon?
yes brother
Tell me about it pookie im here for u
That sucks
I responded to his insult and he fired me
Things like that are why i work for myself
Boomers do not deserve respect its the truth
Its a fight
Just do projects with friends
im reading some books and doing the odin project
i found fun in this of programming
You dont have to be great at everything to help a team. Other people can do things you cant

this is 10x funnier with the Sheldon pfp
Why hack him when you can just wear a mask and physically rough him up in the garage after his shift ends
Physically inept
Could anyone give me a hint for getting root on the Hercules box?
Sorry, wrong channel!
You have to hack it.
Good hint?
hey guys, how are you?

Ordered food and never hit confirm when i was getting ready to go pick it up. This is devastating.
Starve.

I am a stellar chef tyvm
God forbid a man wants chinese takeout
Nah i only get real chinese takeout
Bro was born in Bejing. Heโs very nice.
Ooh yeah thatโs good stuff
this is what my uncle cooks if he wants an excuse to drink 
Vodka sauce is very good
๐ญ
there's some left over vodka, we can't let that go to waste
Or short rib lasagna
Or like a tilapia and bernaise
Making it by hand is a fun line Saturday activity
But yeah the store pasta is totally rad
Oh I have a rolling pin
Mexican food is by far my favorite
@hard harbor I wear airpods just to seem like im listening to music but i'm actually listening to 4 hours of trash compactor noises

evening Emma, it's a gloomy weekend from the future here 
Clicked on it and got 2 ads, YouTube trying too hard
ono
saaaaaaaaame
i honestly mostly just use it for downloading + background play
really nice for flights
Good morning
NewPipe got that for free
Honestly YT premium's price is good, using adblockers and open source clients is more of an attempt to hurt/annoy google from my side than it is financially motivated
hi guys, I am delivering a talk on malware persistence and would like some code snippet screenshots of how persistence is enforced in different malware (the ways for eg schtasks)
kindly dm me the pics if yall have any
thanks again!!
if you want malware samples look on malware bazaar
bro...i know that๐ญ
i js want screenshots I cant be analyzing 100 samples just for 10 pics rn
so if anyone has done any analysis previously and if they have the pic they can send it is what i mean๐ญ
@obsidian birch
tough luck gamer, it's part of research
Good morning
i knew there was something strange outside my window...
I'm not a stalker ๐ญ
๐๐ @scenic maple help me
Wrong. I don't do that.
who doesn't sip tea?!
I don't drink tea, coffee..
thats funny, me neither, actually, i only drink chocolate milk and water 
Even milk i don't. Unless Mom is like drink it 
huh, what do you sip on during your study sessions? beer? 
no fun
Luke warm plain water
๐ค๐ค๐ค
You said water tho
applied to a soc job today chat let's hope for the best
Good luck
I strongly disagree
I just interviewed yesterday for a potential job. They may or may not invite me to do a future interview for the position. Itโs e-commerce but could lead into an IT job
etc
yo
u can use firefox browser on android and run it in background also, if u add adblock extension u can even get rid of the ads
Doesnโt fix downloading
And at the end of the day, itโs $10 or whatever I really donโt care
u dont like ytmp3 or ytmp4 downloads ?
i love breaking the rules and not paying if u have 2 pay for things
I mean ultimately itโs a time cost thing
$10/month sure whatever
When it comes to TV streaming though ffs
20 different services and every single one wanting like $15/month and only really having one good show
Thatโs not worth it
true
Bring back old Netflix days
One reasonable cost for everything on one platform
Itโs just cable 2 now
Letโs not
does htb and thm uses laravel or something as framework ? cuz they look both identical to laravel
or is it just cuz of tailwind css or bootstrap
WILL SMITH EAT SPAGHETTI?????
CRAZY!!!!!!!!
ahh the maniacs are gathered here, wonderful, im new in the jungle, hello
Pretty sure you can see using Wappalyzer on both websites
You do not have image perms
ah first challenge
i gotcha you
Would need Hacker Rank for image perms
how do i get hacker rank do i need to solve some machines or is it enough to throw around with cyber terms or do i have to prompt it right or something
exploit zero day
It's a level of completion on htb labs
Solve active machines specifically
I was crazy once
They locked me in a room

A rubber room with rats
And the rats made me crazy

It was nice
Everyone gone from that time tho

@devout sail is it possible that an openvpn file which was working on xfce would not work on kde?
i did
And thenissue is?
downloaded the vpn files again but it didnt work on KDE
i switched from XFCE to KDE
Is it saying, i won't work ๐
Hmm does it have -v flag
is it possibly an issue with HTB?
no i didnt use -v flag
i just wrote "sudo ovpn [my VPN file]"
People would have made a river here from crying, if that was that case
hmm fair point
how do i fix this issue
Yeah i mean, see if there's a verbose flag and see what exactly is the issue
iirc last time i had such issues was, when I was in office, and my office has random ahh blacklist
Yeah ig 
So it doesn't xD
๐งโโ๏ธ
Come there
there where

Good morning ๐
I'll print you a goth anime cat girl piece for you
Morning kids
doctor pepper got his medical license revoked for malpractice
Someone should fix that bot

Vertical or horizontal, or one horizontal and one vertical
buy one ultra-wide curved
cheaper, better ergonomics, and the same area on the display surface
English mi amigo
I already have like 600 dollar monitor so buying a new one
I like ultra wide
my point exactly.
Nonono
Why u awake

Lets say youโve taken the plunge! Youโve heard all about omarchy, youโve seen the posts on social media. And you thought to yourself โGee I have some free time why donโt I learn hyprland and arch linux?โ. So you download an iso, flash a thumb drive and HERE YOU ARE W...
So back to it, horizontal or vertical
Reintall arch without extras shit
im actually playing arkham knight rn
how much desk space do you have
are you using the stock monitor stands
what options do you have for mounting and positioning them
how many monitors do you have
the real question is, did you use someone elses customisation
I don't use almost any customization
i am personally using someone elses customisation
because i just wanted something that worked, because it was my first
but the person had a really bad taste in fonts
Hyprland bad
why do you think that?
what were your experiences
also how do i get image perms lol
I installed some stupid stuff years ago, something like this
is it just completing rooms and stuff
Active machines
Unfortunately it doesn't
rip
Only active machines and active challenges
anyway red team skills is extremely relevant in blue team
i am just kinda busy rn due to last month of semester
Send pic of your OS
Pervert
don't worry my wall is bad as well lol
you could prob put one to the left
is the right monitor clipped onto the centre
@supple plume you wanted this right
Let me show u just a min
how many monitors do you have, or want to have
Gross
Why
It's useful
because 2 monitors is the best configuration
setups of over 3 monitors have questionable effectiveness for general use
i mean i am planning on getting a third monitor soonish
third*
nah, ultrawide the best 
my desk is vertically and horizontally limited so i have no clue how i will mount it
i can't afford an ultrawide
also hi donut
understandable
hi ๐
sign in into youtube
ultrawide is like two monitors but better
I feel like vertical screens only make sense if you want to read code
Nope
ill send a screenshot of how you should mount it
Very web page would look bad on vertical screens (not sure don't roast me)
Vertical screen doesnt make sense
vertical is only good for chats and work
i would get someone to send my setup rn but i need to clean my desk
ill show you guys my epic portalble setup
some panels have cells that look different to human eye when rotated 90 degrees. but it depends greatly on the type of the panel.
รpico
can someone send the image for me because i don't have perms
sometimes i need to watch video side by side thats the only issue here
That is one of the issues
mount it above or below your main monitor
I have 3 monitors
and just get a standard for the side monitor
How do you guys use those extra monitors ๐
Exactly
skill
i have a portable monitor but my gpu doesn't have a type c and i have no free hdmi slots and no display port adapters
Issue
lmao
i have a 2 laptop + one portable monitor (3 screens total) portable setup
I use iPad as a second screen while drawing and keep references on the main one mainly
I only work on company laptop
Agent mode in the background
L inc
thanks
Vro wtf
centre running win 11, right running arch
really good video you need to watch
2 laptops is diabolical
no extern keyboard
why do i need one
I have 2 laptops, 2 desktops, and Playstation 
The center laptop is a small one
no the right one is big
donut flexing his ultrawide again

No. I'm more of a Chad and use void Linux instead
anyone has any idea about yesterday's cube talk, i cant find it on spotify
embed fail
someone embed for me
thanks
Good luck
personally I am super happy with just one monitor; maybe 2;
I don't want to turn my head all the time; And with my current setup I don't see much - if any - gain from a gazillion monitors;
Hi
thats me btw 
can confirm
uhh which server do i connect to if im from india?
you dm @meager kernel
Skill issue
I just woke up from a nightmare where I was a murderer
Holy shit that was intense.
I don't like dreams.
academy only has US and EU servers, there's no other information about where the servers are (in terms of east/west EU); EU would be the closest so pick a vpn from there to download and use
Only slept two hours. How did I reach REM sleep in two hours only.
thanks
๐
I am a litle freaked out right now
teach me the skill blud
I had everybody looking for me and I was hiding and running
Denying what I did and thinking I'm going to prison for this
Man. WTF kind of dream was that

I'm moving data around on my system. I had 2TB ZFS /home which was 90% full.
I have a 1TB ZFS pool which has degraded, so I'm moving data off to a healthier disk
Also keeping a third copy on a ZFS mirror 2x2TB
98% full
holy i didn't scroll up so i didn't have the full context, i thought you were on the run for something
Sorry. Now I freed up almost 1TB
DAYM
ferg that dream woke up me after 2 hours man
holy mother of god
which isnt' a real thing
but still it freaks me out
the dream police are after you
im struggling to get my hands on an ultra 7 core laptop and brotha here jus freed 1TB of data
I had a 1TB SSD laying around, I put ext4 on it and moved my data
HOW?!
I now am thinking I should have done ZFS on it.
how does everyone have so much hardware ๐ญ

thanks
it depends on if they're on acad or labs
I was talking about labs
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
if i was just starting out with cybersecurity, which modules should i go with in the academy?
Get Started with the HTB Beginners Bible: https://www.hackthebox.com/blog/learn-to-hack-beginners-bible
Start here I guess
yea im done with that
im fairly familiar with networking as well
Pwnbox broken for anyone else?
i had to use a vpn for pwnbox to turn on
Oh mine's just turned on now, reverse jinxed it. Was getting HTB front-end errors, Invalid server!
Quick, without using a calculator, you have 192.168.0.0/21. What's the boradcast address, netmask, total usable ips, first usable ip and last usable ip?
Let's see your networking skills. ๐
vpn service is down?
best way to get cubes is through seasonal competition
total usable ips would be 255*21, first usable 192.168.1.1 and last is 192.168.255.21
Incorrect sungod
well, then that sucks you can get student subscription if you are student and it is pretty cheap
oh yuh ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
total ips are 2048, usable 2046
ahh
how so?
netmask is 255.255.248.0
look at the number of host vs network bits
I gave you a /21
hm
you know /24 is 256, so 254 usable ips
hm
time to revisit intro to networking ig then
i just have no clue in what order i learn the modules to gain a good grasp of the fundamentals
hmm, i don't know about if they give student subscription for someone in school, also you can get student subscription by document also other than email, maybe they will accept it, get document from school that you are studying here, and try it on academy
Step by step guide on how to access the Student Plan.
Please note, the Student Subscription is only available on HTB Academy.
@worthy cargo would it be good if i did the information security foundations skill path?
If you are a student, but your institution does not provide you with an academic email address, your eligibility will need to be manually confirmed by our support team.
@turbid bloom I haven't done it so I can't say. I was already familiar with things when I joined htb
ah
this is the skill path
https://academy.hackthebox.com/beta/paths/120/path-progress
@worthy cargo mentioned the article, you can read more about it
look at the page I just linked you
Proof of Enrollment
Could be gotten easily from your university
Current student transcript might also suffice, I'm not sure
support will decide that, but ask your school's registrar's office for proof of enrollment
information security foundations
that was the one i was about to start. thanks for suggesting
not how that works; pwnbox automatically connects to the vpn, and using the vpn on your own machine actually messes with networking and will cause issues
How did it go?
Got it
Congrats
No
you can use kali
i use kali linux and i can not install mango 8.0 and i needed i have oll kind of
erorrs
well the opposite happened to me
mango 8.0? what for?

so MONGO 8.0; not mango
๐ฅญ
man, go
Sup guys
Those are great
You wake up noticing you're alive and grateful you were just dreaming
Was that the nightmare or it is whats going on now
I somehow murdered someone, indirectly or something, and while everyone was blaming me and trying to look for proof, I was trying to hide and evade and tell people no I didn't kill anyone.
It was the weirdest dream
Ah I had those
Chat, public threat Intel feeds kinda suck ass
That kind of dreams are good to point what your fears are
Good for thinking
guys, are people oversensitive these days?
Why does that matter?
it feels almost impossible to talk to someone without them getting offended
Yo talk with me
or getting insecure
You get offended
literally in anything
It's extremely difficult that you'll make me upset
I can pretend I am but I don't get upset
Let me try
Sure
I don't have anything specific in mind, but it is just that as I work some tech support from time to time, it feels like walking a mine trap when talking to them
A kid did that to me and I was going crazy
I see
Youre tech support?
not my main job but yeah I do tech support occasionally
The people that call tech support are the stupidest people on the planet
That's why if you talk with them often you think people are fucked up
I mean I wish
but I have seen things
I call tech support with AI first, then google, then IRC/discord/Matrix
I mean like I don't mind helping karen in HR setting up her printer
what I do mind is the attitude that karen have when I say anything that might remotely be considered direct
hello someone can reply
hello
can anyone help me i want to do something on hacking
here we go again
People is why I like computers
guyys is it possible to gain control of a android through link
Spit your concerns here 
@supple plumethanks buddy
Why do you need this info
google will pay u if u can do that
just for checking a criminals activity
and I am not talking about political topics or controversial things
sometimes u just get asked to handout the admin password for them so that they can set up their accounts. and instead of me saying to them that is the stupidest shit i ever heard cuz i obv don't get fired, i tell them that "obviously" they can't have the password , and I get questioned by HR cause i was offensive
thnx for the info
couldn't agree more
Lol I had a similar dream last night. Shot someone in both legs and it was yuck
Dang
if i am stupid, code tells me I am stupid
if code is stupid, I call it stupid
Vro why you shot me in the legs
me2 recovering
don't need to jiggle 4 dict books to tell someone to behave
guys if you know how to do it can someone tell me ha
I know
can you tell
But you never answered my question
answered
So you want me to tell you something so you can get paid by google?
You think I'm that stupid?

he will get offended

Kent Thompson helped with its creation btw (he made the B and C languages)
Bye
There's a language called B?
B is a programming language developed at Bell Labs circa 1969 by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie.
B was derived from BCPL, and its name may possibly be a contraction of BCPL. Thompson's coworker Dennis Ritchie speculated that the name might be based on Bon, an earlier, but unrelated, programming language that Thompson designed for use on Multic...
eww no

is John Hammond the best malware analyst
for me he's up there, the way he explain stuff is very nice
I like his videos
haven't watched any of his videos for a long time
but i loved when he did machines
Weekend โบ๏ธ time for some upskilling / hacking
Wow this is so cool
What's people's opinions on the best setup for getting into hacking? I'm VERY mobile, not at home too often.
- Raspberry Pi home server (SSH+VNC)
- Lenovo laptop
- Pwnbox
- Raspberry Pi 400 (Pi inside a keyboard)
Problem is, I already carry a MacBook Pro everywhere for work so the weight of a Lenovo laptop is ๐ but then the home server would remove the ability to do any physical perimeter hacking (Wifi, Bluetooth, etc.), and a Pi 400 would require a screen everywhere which is't practical.
essay
Laptop
raspberry pi is a option could do a tiny screen and just run every command through a terminal
Is not that fancy but laptop just works
Raspberry is slow vnc will make it slower you will suffer
Yeah laptop is the preferred one, I already own the laptop as well, but this work MacBook Pro weighs a damn ton. But it has really really good audio quality so my girlfriend loves it for movies ๐
Pwnbox could be a good option too
Carrying two laptops, I'll end up like Hercules....hmm maybe it's a feature not a bug
But I don't like not to have my own machine physically
Idk pwnbox could work but it's also a bit slow
Some users complain about it
cant you just double boot or have a portable hard drive to plug in the macbook?
Also it spins down so can't really customise it or have personal stuff on there
Well if you have some premium paying subscription you can have persistence
The two laptops together would be 3.68kg to carry around
Is that a lot? Doesn't sound it
That depends on you and how much you walk with these laptops
Literally everywhere, I public commute between mine, girlfriend's, mum's, work, socials, ...
Never stop moving
I would try to be sure if the the pwnbox is a good option before deciding
Guess I'll just toughen up and carry both laptops ๐ช๐ป
It's currently flashed with Kali Linux but honestly I'm impressed by Parrot OS
yall think this is a good roadmap? :
1 - learn linux basics (done)
2 - learn web through portswigger (currently doing it)
3 - learn windows
4 - learn AD
What's your end goal?
It's a ThinkPad T480, bought it for ยฃ200 because it's a "solid engineering" laptop
yeah but ur doing web but web and then goto AD
where is networking
huh?
do i need that
Yes
do i do networking after web or before?
Networking is fundamental
i just started with web since its pretty easy to get into since portswigger course is free
cant really find a free networking course
I wonder what the % proportion of income is in offensive security between arranged penetration testing and solo bug bountying over the internet?
why is that
To get into as a beginner
That depends a lot on the bug bounter
blackhats are making the most unfortunately
I can give you my recomendation to chose a path
I mean, say you're getting into offsec, are you more likely to earn a living by sitting testing HTTP endpoints on HackerOne adverts, or going to local companies and offering to test their LAN / AD / etc.?
well sure
going to local companies for sure!
But that would be just my way to see things, others have different opinions and are also valid
yeah its good to see other people opinions too
Ypu have cube talks on Spotify, your question is being asked every single time
Come to think of it, it's an appealing advert. You could even say you only want paying if you can find a vulnerability, etc.
and then just phish every employee
Find the embarassing Christmas party photo
is that like a podcast?
So if I would have start learning from the beginning today:
Linux fundamentals
Networking
Coding (being able to read scripts and write basic stuff) with python maybe
Databases (sql)
Web security (for a long time)
After years then AD
idk i listen to Darknet podcast for motivation while to machines
I'm probably missing some basic stuff but
I would try to follow some htb academy path where everything is well structured and at the same time get experience hands on in htb labs and portswigger
how would one take a assessment on themselves for Web Security?
Yes htb weekly podcasts
Is AD still a major threat vector? I used to manage AD years ago, but aren't the mainstream users (schools, local government, businesses, ...) all moving to cloud-managed stuff like Azure / Office 365?
hmm okay so i think im done with both coding and linux fundamentals (i have pleny knowledge in python , lua , gdscript , c#)
im trying to get into networking but i just cant find the right course for some reasons
and also isnt databases and web security in the same category?
Yes
Cisco CCNA
htb paths are crazy expensive so im trying to stay away from them
Honestly idk
They're worth it
I mentioned the CWEE to my workplace this week and they said they'd pay for it
I just need to make a business case saying it's to apply security to my in-house operations platform I developed
They're expensive, specially if you live in a country with lower wages. But academy is very good
echoes did you come up from committing to HTB?
I kinda wanna get CCIE and be a networking god
is that a networking course?
highest cisco cert
No
Gold annual soon?
I was a web developer for 5-6 years
ah so its not a networking course?
why did you switch?
The latter
Unfortunately I don't think they'd do a subscription, no matter the cost, I think they'd just pay outright to sit an exam
It's corporate, so lots of red tape and policy
I'm still transitioning, web development is getting very frustrating with all the AI
Clients think its easy, coworkers use the brain less often and with a senior role when things go wrong you're the one that has to fix it
Yeah, I'd assume cyber-security is gonna be the same soon enough right? With AI and all that
i asked about ccna
Also many more bugs are shipping to prod with vibe coding
Lol AI may be (barely) competent at frontend... try asking it to code backend components 
ccna is goated for beginners
Good timing to become a hacker
I think AI may actually be increasing demand for competent developers
I see that done in backends with 300,000+ lines of code
That is true like the "AWS outage"
Imagine that
This is what we want to hear 
in very small busniesses maybe
inb4 database is deleted one day by your AI assistant
I worked as a freelancer in different kinds of businesses
AI's stupidity is giving us job opportunities 
Though is it not almost a double edged sword? AI is probably stopping a load of trivial bugs e.g. lack of input validation. But then introducing more complex ones
is it free
no
no, but google is
no big business is hiring a vibe coder
its not even free anyway
At work (British major corp) we're just looking to outsource everything to American companies like AWS and PagerDuty ๐ and then, of course, lay off all the local systems and software specialists
maybe the first 1-2 topics in networking
AI can help myself write code faster but it still requires a deep understanding, if a junior dev copy pastes code and pushes to prod just because it works they are creating technical debt, a time bomb
ah
Outsourcing to America? Quite a reverse uno ๐คฃ
It's an absolutely crazy strategy, because next year AWS could push up prices and we're just fucked
We already spend $10 million a month in AWS ๐
It's also ironic how European banks went down when AWS went out because they were on US East 1
What's EU-West-1 for? 
EU West is better
How many times do you lose $50,000 every morning because you forgot to shut the damn EC2 instance off?
its because its Virginia the home of the secrets
Which brings us to my favourite AWS meme
One of the downsides of cloud, there's no incentive for dev teams to care so much about costings, because it's a drop in the ocean. All together, it culminates in huge waste.
Imagine being a cloud network architect
The amount of infrastructure we have spun up is insane, we used to be AWS' #3 global customer or something
You guys should play HORSE, but one attains a letter by forgetting to shut something down

Hey bro actually if ur in free tier u cant pay money unless you activate billing
๐ค Trust me bro Im a cloud pentester
Hey guys!! I'm new to hacking and pentesting and have never done hackthebox before, but I need to hack 3 machines that have been released within the past 3 months. I've checked most platforms like tryhackme and even offsec but couldn't find any machines that are new and available for free. On hackthebox the newer retired machines don't have walkthroughs so I haven't been able to figure out how to hack them. So as a last resort I've come here if I could get any help with hacking three machines from either the active section or retired section that fit the 3 month criteria, that would be very much appreciated!! Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read through and respond!
Huh, didn't realise in America it's called the Sorcerer's Stone, it's originally Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
But does the movie footage adapt to say Sorcerer instead?
Why specifically do you need to hack three boxes from the last three months? Is this for a job application or something?
๐ golam is cooking
if you are new you should be doing academy
- basic toolset path https://academy.hackthebox.com/paths
- infosec foundations path (same ink as above)
- cpts path (if you are willing) https://academy.hackthebox.com/paths/jobrole
when all these done then you do the starting point labs all of them are retired
once all of those are done then you go to retired machines tab and start doing machines blindly if you get stuck you read writeup keep doing it
in the meantime attempt the actual seasonal active boxes
while you do so you should also subscribe to https://ippsec.rocks he releases htb box walkthroughs when they get retired and you should do the boxes with him


i saw u too
