ohh. lol.

now I get it

[sharp shuttle]

yeah, its really well written

but you dont understand at first

took me three watches

[muted olive]

yup. I've seen ones like this before where the central plot makes no sense and it finally makes sense at the end

or everything's a metaphor or something

[terse dirge]

[sharp shuttle]

i like movies like that, psychological thrillers

[muted olive]

have you seen the woman in the yard? @sharp shuttle

[sharp shuttle]

i didnt, if you recommend it i would

[muted olive]

its not conventional horror

more like psychological metaphors all along

There's a letsdefend path that I am interested in, but it's probably wiser for me to wait until they merge content with HTB no? Or is the "merge" not happening anytime soon

[sharp shuttle]

either way the content stays the same

letsdefend is more expensive, I don't want to pay and then the second day it's available under my HTB subscription

then i guess you are waiting, none of us know the answer

All these days when parents would show some random AI stuff, I'd be like ma/dad they are AI generated stuff

now this one got me

[sharp shuttle]

its cause you were hungry

[ornate ibex]

[sharp shuttle]

only two things can trick you, being high (lowering your iq) and being hungry

[rose hull]

Hey guys, quick question. Has HTB ever offered any Black Friday deals for their certs?

[cloud osprey]

open in edge

[supple plume]

Dayum

[muted olive]

I don't know how, or why, but doing this fixed the issue

chrome is ddosing me, confirmed

[supple plume]

What if insted of opening it with a browser you try with a pdf viewer

[sharp shuttle]

sre you trolling? if your shit is spinning up thats an infected pdf

[muted olive]

and get free trial popups every 5 mins? nty

[muted olive]

no, it really did happen lol

I couldn't find anything wrong with the pdf

its an exam paper

[supple plume]

If you use linux, there are free alternatives

Again advertising linux

[supple plume]

Vro has a shitty computer

Linux is good for that

I am trying to help him

[meager kernel]

I feel linux community in itself is a huge advertisement

In general, not this particular scenario

[supple plume]

Of what?

[meager kernel]

Of itself

[cloud osprey]

I just like edge because the search bar defaults to bing

[supple plume]

Vro everything is a mf advertisement of itself

Do you go to school as someone else than mf kratos?

No

Then stop advertising yourself

[rose hull]

He’s advertising for GoW

[cloud osprey]

imagine going to school

[meager kernel]

No but like the linux community just says "use linux use linux"

[supple plume]

[meager kernel]

I am

And I hate every second of it

[hoary nebula]

HIHIHIHIHI

[cloud osprey]

[raw stump]

Cool

[supple plume]

The problem is the bottom left, that logo makes it slow

[meager kernel]

[hoary nebula]

Chemistry

[muted olive]

yes, CPU is just reflecting internal turmoil

[meager kernel]

I have a data structures viva

[torn cedar]

[muted olive]

what is stack

[sharp shuttle]

chatgpt takes a sec

https://tenor.com/view/sweaty-sweat-heat-hot-wipe-sweat-gif-17716050

[meager kernel]

A LIFO data structure

Last in fast out

It's used in search engines

It's like stacking books on top of each other

[cloud osprey]

or you can call stacks bread

[meager kernel]

Wait it's FIFO?

Wait

[sharp shuttle]

im ganna stack pancakes and feed you son

[hoary nebula]

FIFO

[meager kernel]

[terse dirge]

hmmm, interesting it looks like I can't use message boxes when developing drivers.

[cloud osprey]

eat corn in between pancakes to see markers as they come out

[sharp shuttle]

shit

i rescind everything

i apologize sir, i am high

[meager kernel]

Np

Alright there are two types of data structures

Linear and non linear

Linear ones are sequential
One element comes after the other

Non linear ones are non sequential
Like tree and graph

[sharp shuttle]

array and linked list

[terse dirge]

looks like it's not possible due to communication nerd stuff. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9897693/how-to-display-a-pop-up-message-box-from-a-driver-kernel-mode

[meager kernel]

Static memory allocation in array
Dynamic in linked list

Array size is fixed
Not in linked list

[sharp shuttle]

linked list is just a block chain

[meager kernel]

Array static memory in compile time
Dynamic in run time

Linkedin is just dynamic

[sharp shuttle]

are you already doing Big O notation?

[meager kernel]

*linked list

[meager kernel]

For time complexity, yes

[sharp shuttle]

nice

thats probably the only hard part about data structs

then you get into proof territory

[meager kernel]

Agreed

[muted olive]

I haven't ever taken the time to understand linked lists or time complexity

[sharp shuttle]

you should

[meager kernel]

In tree, there is DFS and BFS

[sharp shuttle]

esp time complexity, though i argue it hardly matters with modern computers

[meager kernel]

BFS is breadth first traversal
Nodes of one level are traversed before moving onto next

[sharp shuttle]

breadth vs. depth right

now we are doing algorithms

[muted olive]

I've consistently seen from college-goers I know that data structs like linked lists and paths by djikistra daddy are taught in the first-second year

[meager kernel]

DFS is depth first
It can be preorder (node, left subtree, right subtree)
In order (left, root, right)
Post order (left, right, root)

[sharp shuttle]

22kratos, i know im high but the single most important data structure is a tree

[meager kernel]

Hmm

[sharp shuttle]

make sure you understand them

[muted olive]

dijkstra daddy 😩

[meager kernel]

I will read tree again

[sharp shuttle]

tree is the foundational structure for compression

and thats really what matters

encoding is everything

you will understand cryptography much better

[signal mica]

No way they have lz77 and huffman here

Gl kratos

[sharp shuttle]

hamilton encoding for rfid

im really only keen on the radio / electromagnetic stuff

[meager kernel]

Ty

[meager kernel]

I'll spout this in front of the teacher

[sharp shuttle]

yummy

[muted olive]

GM corn 🌽

[green kite]

whats up popcorn

[terse dirge]

I have been messing around with it tho so I can understand it better

it was a pain to get working and idk if it actually works

it's not erroring out or crashing when tracing with logman

[muted olive]

driver development is a form of witchcraft unknown to mankind

its the work of the devil

PrintNightmare is basically adding a vulnerable driver right? Like creating one from scratch, or pulling an existing one or something.

[terse dirge]

probably

but I'm having to build a header file I can use to cross compile from linux TO windows and I can't use wdk because wdk is windows only

I refuse to develop on windows because of how unenjoyable it is

also I can't download old versions of visual studio community editions

https://tenor.com/view/1984-skander-big-brother-gif-21303304

also zig is new which means my wootkits are harder to reverse engineer and standout more

[hardy frigate]

Hey guys

Is responder capable of working through a proxy ?

[pure sandal]

yeah it should work through proxychains

[hardy frigate]

Do I have to specify that Im forwarding 445 or something ?

[pure sandal]

if you are using ligolo or chisel you don't need to specify

[hardy frigate]

Okay dude if you say so. Then I will test this right now

Because last time I tried to use responder through ligolo and it didn't work

I'm wondering maybe the problem is you have to use port bender and then forward 4445 for example in case 445 is in use

Maybe this is the problem?

[pure sandal]

If the target box can ping you directly than it should work

[hardy frigate]

What does that have anything to do with it

Cause like the protocol for ping could be blocked in the network

[pure sandal]

i meant reach

[hardy frigate]

Apparently only 445 is found to be allowed through firewalls

[pure sandal]

not ping specifically

[hardy frigate]

Bro I am conflicted

I am just learning based off other pentesters and modules

But I don't have real-time up to date experience

What are companies doing RIGHT NOW with their networks

I dont know

I just rely on John saying "too many networks allow 445 outbound!"

[terse dirge]

You need to forward the port on your host to the machine you're proxied on

So like this kali -> machine connected ligolo

It's how the routing is set up with the prolabs

[hardy frigate]

So the port bender --> forward the bended port

This is necessary ?

[terse dirge]

.

You can set it to a port that doesn't need sudo to open btw or should be able to

[hardy frigate]

I know that I have to have a proxy to finish the NTLM relay process

I'm talking about receiving the traffic

[terse dirge]

. This is all you need if I remember correctly

Ligolo relays the info back already

[hardy frigate]

Okay will test this

Like I said last time I tested it didnt work

But maybe I missed something

[terse dirge]

You need to point it to the host that is connected with ligolo btw

[muted olive]

computer science

[terse dirge]

So it'd look like this target -> ligolo connected host -> kali

Target doesn't know that Kali exists on the network.

[muted olive]

chisel better than ligolo chat, change my mind

[hardy frigate]

@worthy narwhal next time you didn't study please dont take the whole internet down

[worthy narwhal]

a hackers gotta do what a hackers gotta do

[green kite]

HAHA

[worthy narwhal]

but actually tho I did study, I just really needed to review the plans and the OSI model and get those few pesky questions re-read a couple times

been spending a month on this studying

[dusky jacinth]

I like the chutzpah

[green kite]

layer 8 issue

[dusky jacinth]

Is this the skill layer?

[soft fern]

How am I supposed to get a job if CloudFlare is having issues

[worthy narwhal]

it’s the snow day layer, where you blame everything on the snow in the clouds

[hard harbor]

Okay i thought my phone was broked

[worthy narwhal]

okay now I can go back to studying and using alternative methods for information

fuck I have to dredge out the physical books

😭😭😭

[normal dove]

cloudflare is down ?

NOOOO

[hoary nebula]

OSI model is easy

[rustic carbon]

have you heard of OBI

Open a book intelligence

OBI WAN KENOBI

[worthy narwhal]

[meager kernel]

cloudfare is down?

@worthy narwhaldid you crash cloudfare?

[worthy narwhal]

[devout sail]

It's just resting

Come back next week

[rustic carbon]

computers need sleep too

💤

[rustic carbon]

he crashed it cause he didn't want to do his exam

[sly grotto]

Is HTB also impacted because of CF downtime?

[rustic carbon]

I believe so I might be wrong

[sly grotto]

Chatgpt is blocked too

[worthy narwhal]

Someone else was saying they couldn’t access the box

[sly grotto]

this dns service is creating the problem challenges.cloudflare.com

it's a global outage

[patent elbow]

😔

[worthy narwhal]

rip, im just gonna go to bed

[hard harbor]

I guess this goes to show we need a down detector for down detector

[hardy frigate]

Hmm okay thanks

[patent elbow]

give me back league of legends

[worthy narwhal]

that’s down too

[split patio]

what is being discussed?

Wait that’s already a thing?? Lol

[patent elbow]

univ-lille1.fr hmhmhm

what is this

[hard harbor]

I heard you liked down detectors so we me made a down detector for your downdetector down detector.

[green kite]

@split patio I dont think this is meant for this channel

[soft fern]

Then we need a down detector for downdetector that's FOR downdetector then.

[patent elbow]

i will make a downdetector for the downdetector of the downdetector

[muted olive]

And this, children, is what happens when Cloudflare takes an L.

[patent elbow]

in case it's down

but i will use cloudflare to secure my website

[green kite]

Cloudflare has a burnout

[austere sinew]

Cloud stocks after this ⬇️

[muted olive]

No more ChatGPT! So many brains lost!

[austere sinew]

Better use aws to host it and cloudflare to secure it

[hard harbor]

The real money maker is to be a master DNS expert for cloud providers

[soft fern]

Well, at least this issue is not as bad as Not as bad as July 19, 2024

[sly grotto]

it will become landflare or waterflare

is there a free way to vibe code?

[raven rain]

train your own ai

[supple plume]

actually

[tepid zenith]

GitHub Student Pack

[tepid zenith]

create your own data center

[molten bobcat]

Learn to code yourself

[supple plume]

I know it's very unlikely but does someone know if it's possible to run an AI model with swap memory?

[molten bobcat]

..swap?

[tepid zenith]

wdym swap memory

[supple plume]

I've been coding for 6 years

[molten bobcat]

Like to overcome a lack of installed memory?

[molten bobcat]

Swap memory usually refers to the paging file

[worthy cargo]

Yes that's what swap is

Windows calls it a paging file

[supple plume]

to run a model locally

[molten bobcat]

On windows at least

[molten bobcat]

Not my question

[supple plume]

you are the only one around here that probably knows if what I ask is possible

[tepid zenith]

Isn't there a ton of tutorials on how to run a model locally using ollama or other stuff

[molten bobcat]

Why do you need swap?

[tepid zenith]

Ohh i didnt see this

[supple plume]

to run a half decent AI model usually requires a lot of ram memory

[molten bobcat]

Yeah but it lives in memory

You cant load half a model here and offload the rest into disk storage

[supple plume]

yeah it should all run in disk

[molten bobcat]

That's not the case at all

?

You're asking me how to run a program without ram

[tepid zenith]

not possible

[molten bobcat]

You have to give it memory

[supple plume]

forget it

right

[molten bobcat]

Unfortunately what you're asking is not possible

If we found a way to do so without ram we would have done so already

There's.. a lot of ram and water and cooling and energy required by the major LLMs

[worthy cargo]

https://ryanagibson.com/posts/run-llms-larger-than-ram/

https://madhankarthik30.medium.com/run-mistral-and-other-llms-on-just-8gb-ram-how-swap-memory-saved-my-dev-setup-6746af824e49

Looks like bro didn't even google.

[molten bobcat]

Warning: This is honestly an abuse of swap and should not be regularly relied upon unless you are willing to drastically shorten your disk’s lifespan.

No shit!

[supple plume]

I googled I even installed an ollama and ran a small model I just asked if someone had experience with this shit using swap

I know that it is technically possible I wanted to know if it's worth it

[molten bobcat]

Seems by the warnings like it's not

[supple plume]

thanks for the links anyway

nvm the links are trash

[molten bobcat]

I dunno what you expected from people swapping ram for disk IO on an LLM

[supple plume]

idk what I expected asking here

[molten bobcat]

Alrighty buddy

[zealous charm]

I think gemini-cli has a free tier, it can run straight from your terminal and write some code

It's not as good as claude code though

[supple plume]

thanks I'll take a look

[tepid zenith]

What do you need the models for anyways

because if u want to use them for vibe coding

[supple plume]

I want to see what it is capable of. thats all

[tepid zenith]

you can sign up for Github student pack with a university ID (if you're a student at some uni) and they'll offer you github copilot for unlimited use and multiple models to choose from

[molten bobcat]

I have an insulting meme locked and loaded
