general

[topaz glen]

We in general

Dm so I can send the ban

Or I'll just donit

Do it

[warped plank]

wdym you're banned? like on the platform?

[topaz glen]

Yea

I sent u the screen shot

[warped plank]

Fixxed the problem 😎

[cerulean bloom]

you banned him?

[open lotus]

does the student plan give cubes every month too??

[cerulean bloom]

nope

but you get cubes when you complete the modules

[open lotus]

and do I have to purchase the voucher seperately?

[open lotus]

that's nice

[cerulean bloom]

yup, you gotta do that too

[warped plank]

I mean if he's banned off the platform he has to be banned here too

[cerulean bloom]

yup, yup

[cerulean bloom]

you only get these:

[open lotus]

how much cubes, do I get from each lab tho

[cerulean bloom]

depends on the module

[open lotus]

any minimum amount?

[cerulean bloom]

Tier 0 and 1 give 10

Tier 2 gives 20

[warped plank]

btw academy modules are separate from labs, so please try to make the distinction as it can confuse people

[open lotus]

okk

[open lotus]

but that too has premium modules

[warped plank]

this stuff are the labs

[cerulean bloom]

not sure what you mean

[open lotus]

it requires cubes to access all the modules/labs

in the starting point

[cerulean bloom]

starting point? thats for labs

[cerulean bloom]

it requires cubes to access the modules

[warped plank]

tier 0 modules are free, they cost 10 cubes and they give you back 10 cubes

[cerulean bloom]

labs are completely different

[open lotus]

that is the tier 0,1 and 2 right?

[cerulean bloom]

you get those for free, no cubes required

if you get the student plan

[warped plank]

wait, are you talking about these?

[open lotus]

yes

[warped plank]

Ohhh

yeah those are labs, most of them are free there are only some that are VIP only

[cerulean bloom]

the "cubes" you are talking about only apply to academy, not labs

[open lotus]

any other way to get cubes, rather than buying??

[cerulean bloom]

you can get them through the seasons

[warped plank]

compete in seasons

[open lotus]

ohh nice

are they beginner friendly tho...

[cerulean bloom]

you gotta complete the machines in the season

[meager kernel]

Very.

[cerulean bloom]

not sure about that lol

[meager kernel]

The insane machines are the most beginner friendly

[cerulean bloom]

depends on what you mean by "beginner"

[cerulean bloom]

[open lotus]

i saw some brainfuck ratings, not sure if it was for the season or general

[cerulean bloom]

it was for one machine in the season

I believe there are 13 machines in each season or smth like that

[open lotus]

i got the basics, but not much after that, not in any particular domain

[cerulean bloom]

basics of? pentesting? red teaming? linux? networking?

[open lotus]

cybersec🥀

[cerulean bloom]

ah, then it might be harder for you

I'd recommend learning for now and trying out seasons in the future

[open lotus]

okk

[cerulean bloom]

try some easy active machines from time to time

[open lotus]

yep

[cerulean bloom]

if you can't solve them, its completely fine 🙂

[open lotus]

🥀

will try tho

[open lotus]

i have done these, atleast the free ones

[cerulean bloom]

hmm, then maybe you might be ready for easy machines

I'm not exactly sure, I'd recommend trying an active one

to see if you can pwn it or not

[open lotus]

alr, fs

thanks

[cerulean bloom]

no problemo 🙂

[open lotus]

2 georgias

i need some help

as to how to connect to the session machine through vpn

should i use tcp or udp

and after connecting the .ovpn file, how to proceed

[cerulean bloom]

udp

[cerulean bloom]

in your attacker machine, type:

sudo openvpn file.ovpn

[open lotus]

that is done

idk how to pass the credentials given

xfreerdp?

[quiet kiln]

HTB certs are finally getting the recognition from HRs 😀

[cerulean bloom]

@open lotus

[open lotus]

kk

[open lotus]

can u tell me for the one that is in the season 9?

"eighteen"

[cerulean bloom]

I don't think I can tell you as thats an active machine

you need to figure where it needs to be used

[open lotus]

oh ok

[robust token]

you shouldn't do active machines yet tho if you're a beginner

[cerulean bloom]

eighteen is rated easy, but I don't think its easy tbh

for hints on this machine, ask in #1439312859472330934

[open lotus]

just trying, had to take a break from learning, due to college

thanks

[obtuse fern]

active machines aren't open for public discussion, you can ask for nudges and help in #1439312859472330934 ; the 2 most recent boxes always have their own channels

[open lotus]

okk

[obtuse fern]

but don't spoil anything

like say you found that it's vulnerable to CVE-1999-1234, you can't say that. You CAN say "I think i found the relevant exploit for root/privilege escalation not sure how to use it"

[muted olive]

Interestingly enough that particular CVE is this

windows nt 4.0

https://tenor.com/view/growing-old-getting-old-grow-old-old-man-becoming-old-gif-17885988

[obtuse fern]

windows was using NT that early?

[muted olive]

apparently, yes

they started from 1995

[cerulean bloom]

gosh, that was way before I was even born lol

[muted olive]

Yup. same lol

[tawdry sorrel]

that doesn't change the fact (Microsoft is dumb ) even if they exists from the stone age

[robust token]

when the "New Technology" is from 1995

[sharp shuttle]

we went to the moon on a computer weaker than a raspberry pi 1 and lost that technology too

[terse dirge]

Microsoft still hasn't made developing on windows any nicer than from windows 10

[sharp shuttle]

but dont worry ceald soon copilot will be on by default

[terse dirge]

It still fucking sucks. I shouldn't need all of this C++ gui bullshit to compile rust properly

[cerulean bloom]

really?!

makes sense tho

it was a long time ago

[terse dirge]

I could care less about copilot tbh. I use windows server for all things windows testing or development since it's minimalistic and not as resource heavy

[sharp shuttle]

yeah crazy how we lost the ability to put construction paper and aluminum foil on a funny looking pod with an entire foldable rover on the underside of the hull

[muted olive]

we went to the moon on...
did you though? /j

[terse dirge]

It'd be awesome sauce if windows made an SDK for developing drivers on zig

[sharp shuttle]

of course we did trust the science

[terse dirge]

Or if mingw had the proper headers for minimal driver development

Before anyone says "just use the ddk" it's missing headers that run functions for debugging

[muted olive]

what if windows was open source

[muted olive]

its a long boot

[tawdry sorrel]

it will still be dumb

[terse dirge]

That'd be very nice because then mingw can get the most of the headers and libraries for windows cross compilation

So I won't have to rely on external functions or loading DLLs

Chat, windows should become based by adding wdk support for mingw

[cloud osprey]

should make it dubai

its all the rage right now

went to costco last weekend and gf bought every dubai thing they had... ice cream, desserts, chocolates

[young glen]

Nice

[cloud osprey]

just pistachio everything

will take pictures, uno momento

[robust token]

pistachio rebranded as dubai was not in my 2025 bingo card

[terse dirge]

Big steppas

[muted olive]

yas

dubai is awesome

[muted olive]

lol nice

we have lots of bags of dates frm there

[sharp shuttle]

yummy

[muted olive]

arabian dates

[west venture]

Nights

[muted olive]

chocolates not so much

[cloud osprey]

the gelato cup things are the best

[muted olive]

there are some iranian stores in dubai selling chocolates though

they are peak

although intense as fuck

do not inhale that shit directly. fair warning.

[muted olive]

nah

you want the best gelato, go to italy

and the best pizzas

[cloud osprey]

i didnt say it was the best gelato, it is just the best of the dubai snacks we bought

[torn cedar]

What does any of this even taste like

[muted olive]

oh. lol, makes sense

[muted olive]

tastes like regular chocos, maybe with a more intense spice twist

[cloud osprey]

and italy is the most pretentious about food... not visiting

[torn cedar]

Noted, I'll give it a try if it ever shows up where I live.

[muted olive]

You can visit Dubai and get free samples in all the stores, and then buy whatever you want in bulk

thing is, its a lil too overpowering. its like walking into spice world lol

[sharp shuttle]

if i come to dubai can i dubuy some dubaussy while listening to debussy

[patent elbow]

no uni ctf 2025 😞

[sharp shuttle]

no college students left not just using ai to solve ctf's

htb literally made a human only ctf

well see how that works

[cloud osprey]

like not allowed to use AI?

how is that enforcable

[sharp shuttle]

lol sureeee

yeah i dont know

silly gimmick

[tawdry sorrel]

ai can only give tips no more

[sharp shuttle]

chatgpt pro and other models can straight up solve most challenges

[tawdry sorrel]

htb ones too?

[sharp shuttle]

easily...

[tawdry sorrel]

btw Ai is another tool goverments use to collect data about us as people note that every single company is merging ai in their systems like Microsoft.

[sharp shuttle]

yeah obviously

its a cyberweapon

[cerulean bloom]

which one?

[sharp shuttle]

current advertised one

[torn cedar]

Good question

[cerulean bloom]

neurogrid? wasn't it a CTF for AI kinda?

[tawdry sorrel]

people who navigate through hidden places in internet can obviously know mindblowing things (I am not encouraging )

[sharp shuttle]

ctf should ban ai

[tawdry sorrel]

ai is banning people from everything

[cerulean bloom]

[desert cargo]

Do i use tun0 or tun1 ip for rshell?

[exotic pendant]

Depends on which connection you're using to connect to HTB. 2 tuns mean you might have 2 openvpn started

[scenic maple]

tun0

[devout sail]

tun71 😎

[desert cargo]

Hmm weird

[desert cargo]

Always used that, but yesterday the host couldnt access it and only the tun1 ip worked

[exotic pendant]

because tun0 didnt close and you opened openvpn again, causing it to goto 1

[desert cargo]

I started a fully new academy pwnbox and used openvpn in there maybe its this?

[exotic pendant]

you dont need to start openvpn on pwnbox

it's already started

[desert cargo]

I use academy pwnbox for labs

[devout sail]

what

[desert cargo]

Mainly cause i dont want to use a VM on pc cause port forwarding

[devout sail]

what

[exotic pendant]

Yeah but pwnbox auto starts openvpn when you boot it

you dont need to run openvpn

reboot the pwnbox and run ip a and you can see tun0 is already started

[desert cargo]

Ah alr, thought academy and labs are different networks

[devout sail]

top 5 yappers of this server

[exotic pendant]

I was number 2 behind emma for like 3 years

[desert cargo]

I stopped it, only tun0 shew up but now i cant access the ip with ping anymore

[exotic pendant]

yes reboot

you alreayd ran the 2nd, making it use tun1

you can restart it if you want and just use tun1

but just saying it starts auto, you dont need to run it after booting

[desert cargo]

Alright Thx

Out of curiosity, as a national hacker and devop, what are the most prefered skills ?

why not the floor?

the best skill you can have is learning how to google the questions you have before asking everybody

thats part of learning how to google, learning how to tell good answers from bad ones

[next thicket]

Paradox: how can you tell good answers or bad when you dont have experience ?

[cloud osprey]

learning how to google is an honest answer to your question, didnt mean for it to sound like i was getting on to you for asking here

the first thing I do when somebody comes up to me if i go into the office is google the question they ask right in front of them

[carmine pecan]

Desert vs Dessert

[cloud osprey]

then i only get angry if the answer they are looking for is on the first page of google

[scenic maple]

mostly cause of captcha

[cloud osprey]

i remember the difference because you always want more dessert, so it has more letters

[scenic maple]

and find no answers in the first 5 pages of google

[cloud osprey]

that just means you need to google better

[carmine pecan]

cap who?

[next thicket]

I see

[carmine pecan]

why people complain about captcha

[mint raptor]

cause its hard?

[carmine pecan]

I always pass those first try

uh oh

but what if you find a closed forum post saying my bad

I see

[scenic maple]

but you only get 2 chatgpt images for free per one day i think

thats whye everyone should use bing

no one pays bing for rank 1 results

[cloud osprey]

or meta

[scenic maple]

so it only has authentic answers

meta has a search engine?

what are you drawing

[scenic maple]

reading the first C book in history

[tame gust]

pro tip; keep giving your computer shit it should not proccess, and boom you hack

works for me

[tame gust]

the C bible ?

i got a physical copy of it

[scenic maple]

yes

[tame gust]

still on my to read list

[scenic maple]

there is nothing better

trust

[tame gust]

but its focuses more on algos right ? rather than actuall functionality of C

like pointers, buffers ... etc

[scenic maple]

idk havent gotten into that deep yet

but so far enjoying yet

but it does have stuff like linkedlists and hashmaps

[tame gust]

thats why i liked the aart of exploitation book better, it talks indepth of the assembly and C, like actually understand shit

not algos

but you understand buffers, stack frames, how they setup, how its restaured, how to find the stack points and return address ... etc

[scenic maple]

i mean tbh algost existed for a reason

[hoary dawn]

The exploit relies on WhatsApp’s built-in mechanism for finding contacts, which reveals whether a user is on the service and public details like profile pictures and status texts when a phone number is entered.

Security researchers from the University of Vienna demonstrated the flaw by systematically querying billions of potential numbers, confirming active accounts at a rate of over 100 million per hour without any restrictions from WhatsApp.

[hoary dawn]

They didn’t even hack it they just generated the database from their own end that’s crazy 😭😭

[devout sail]

That's not a bug

[hoary dawn]

Billions and billions of requests until they got confirmation on numbers that were active

Pretty cool

[devout sail]

I can probably save as many numbers as i can
Then sync it and get valid numbers

You can
But imagine talking with someone and poking them every time you say something

[obtuse fern]

Ok?

[obtuse fern]

Not sure what you mean, this is normal

[torpid talon]

so its recommended to do it once and then use reply for exmaple

There is white arrow

[muted olive]

switched off the other themes and plugins too

change to dark theme

nope. dark mode didn't show it either

something to do with that?

[obtuse fern]

perhaps

[muted olive]

I didn't really understand what that option meant

[lyric abyss]

definitely when u take ss your cursor gets hidden tho

[devout sail]

Yeah how would obsidian know they are related

[torpid talon]

but we can add tho' right?

[obtuse fern]

Orphan means "this page has 0 links or correlation to another"

where is neurogrid MCP CTF's chat ???

[obtuse fern]

you can either do masked links or the wikilinks format

[lyric abyss]

is it a note app?

[muted olive]

okay, this might be why

yes

i use notion btw

[obtuse fern]

[[]] or (Square brackets)(Round brackets) (mods aren't immune to the masked link rule

[olive violet]

on arch?

[devout sail]

[[]]

[lyric abyss]

just type :
[[Physics]]

obsidian also links notes if they're in the same folder in the vault

on mac
