[unreal shore]

it has control over rng

if a hacker knows this and a typical casino employee doesn tunderstand the mechanics behind rng, how would they even dete4ct rng?

then the cameraroom takes cares of it

but if cameraroom cant detect physical players then who else takes over?

how do i defend earth from the greys

they have interstellar malware

why are humans busy hacking each other when earth has greater threats to deal with

[sharp shuttle]

Imagine thinking aliens are not a human concept to justify brutality, religion, and secret societies

[unreal shore]

the greys are even more brutal than humans though

[subtle plover]

[sharp shuttle]

Elaborate? Aliens are "a hypothetical or fictional being from another world", the reality is none of these other places are inhabitable and humanity is stuck here on earth. A human concept. Planar/spiritual or otherwise dimensional entities are extremely likely to exist or have existed.

[carmine pecan]

Damn

Nice gif

[vivid flower]

Yeah but they dont exist only to justify those things

[carmine pecan]

I am an alien

[sharp shuttle]

I guess, Im just genralizing that this word "alien" is simply marketing of an idea

[carmine pecan]

alienado

[vivid flower]

After watching predator badlands in 3d i am rn torrenting every single alien and predator movie

[sharp shuttle]

They are great movies

[vivid flower]

It was so good

[unreal shore]

I havent watched predator badlands yet

[vivid flower]

Go see it it amazing

I dont say that often about new movies

[unreal shore]

Gotcha

[sharp shuttle]

I just dont think there is life out there, and humanity is so corrupted that we would use technology to destroy each other and claim it was "aliens"

[unreal shore]

humans are a developing lifeform

[sharp shuttle]

Lol the only evolution we have in our future is the ability to eat legos

[unreal shore]

Or build life

[sharp shuttle]

Not in our current globalism

[unreal shore]

plants still grow despite politics

[sharp shuttle]

And how many animals and interesting evolutions are erradicated now?

[unreal shore]

probably millions

[sharp shuttle]

At least

animals are more interesting than plants, its sad

[unreal shore]

all nature is interesting

[sharp shuttle]

Hey man, once a plant named zyra sprouts her beautiful human form from the earth i will like plants all the same

but until then

[unreal shore]

[sharp shuttle]

You like vegetables right?

[unreal shore]

I dont eat veggies

[vivid flower]

Mazone detected

[sharp shuttle]

Based, neither do I

Spinach is the only vegetable I eat

[unreal shore]

yeah spinicach i can tolerate

[vivid flower]

Spinach is good but can we agree broccoli is also good

[hard harbor]

Broccoli is goated

asparagus too

[vivid flower]

I wont try to sell you on anything else

[sharp shuttle]

From a flavor perspective, vegetables are great. From a nutrition perspective, they are ultimately useless

[unreal shore]

Yeah haha

[vivid flower]

They provide roughage for digestion

[hard harbor]

Im only eating for flavor baby

[vivid flower]

I know being a carnivore is based and steppe pilled but you still need fiber

[sharp shuttle]

Yeah I mean its an entire debate, just stating my opinion on the matter

[vivid flower]

And alkaline stuff in your diet helps to counteract how acidic carnivore diet is

[unreal shore]

vultures can consume bones becuz of their acidic stomach

crazy lifeforms

even tardigrades can survive the sun

or being in space without protection

[olive marten]

yess

[sharp shuttle]

Felines are basically evolutionary perfection

just need big brains

[unreal shore]

Hell yeah

They even infect their human host with a parasite that brainwashes them

It doesnt get crazier than that

[unreal shore]

invisible parisites crazy

i wouldnt wish that on my worst enemy

[unreal shore]

Yea

[sharp shuttle]

what does redis do. Like how does it help

[desert cargo]

Its a no sql db

Its fast and its useful if you want to access the same db from different hosts or programs

Its useful if you use clusters for example since you cant share memory between those

[vivid flower]

Its for doing analytics on huge data sets

Usually business data

[hard harbor]

I was able to add the team lead of a soc job i applied for today on linkedin, he fire reacted to my message and said he looks forward to checking out my application.

That’s gotta be worth something

[desert cargo]

Is it?

[vivid flower]

Yeah

Its designed for high volume throughput

If your business performs a huge amount of transactions then latency becomes a problem and you would consider using redis

[desert cargo]

Isnt redis just the db or msg broker ?

[vivid flower]

And as a bonus it supports a lot of analytics for figuring out trends

Redis is the db

[nova juniper]

[vivid flower]

Hey are SANS certs worth doing?

[meager kernel]

From what ik, yes

They're seen as the most recognised certs

But they're also crazy fucking expensive, like 7000-8000 USD

[vivid flower]

Thats bonkers

[muted olive]

Worth doing if employer sponsors it

[meager kernel]

Most of the times, the company you're working for pays for them

[meager kernel]

Yea

It's like an entire college degree worth of money

[molten bobcat]

Raindrops keep falling on my head

[vivid flower]

Why is there so much obscenely priced enterprise software

[molten bobcat]

[meager kernel]

@muted olive my father was saying that he'll buy the SANS cert course for me if I clear OSCP first 😭😭

[vivid flower]

I was talking to a bloodhound enterprise rep and when he told me how much the lisence cost it was like 50k a year

[meager kernel]

I asked him if he's willing to spend the fees of my college degree just for this cert

He was willing

[muted olive]

bro you could buy a car with that money in US

the SANS one I mean

but if he does it, it will be really good

go for it

[vivid flower]

At the highest level its like all these businesses scamming each other with absurd lisence fees as a model

[meager kernel]

In my 4th year, not rn

[sharp shuttle]

for a company pulling in 60 million a year thats nothing

[meager kernel]

I'm pretty sure it would take me alot of efforts to clear that cert

[sharp shuttle]

50m is "enterprise"

[meager kernel]

Cause they're insanely hard

[vivid flower]

Yeah i know its just silly to me

[muted olive]

still good

[meager kernel]

By God's grace, I have enough money to afford really good education 🙏

[muted olive]

one of my family members said they'll sponsor me for OSCP next year if I score well in JEE lol

[meager kernel]

I'm pretty damn grateful to my dad
Without his support, won't be here at all

[meager kernel]

That's great damn

[muted olive]

if I do get it, I'll still grind for it because I wouldn't want to waste nearly $1800

[meager kernel]

Well yea

OSCP isn't hard if you study most of HTB material deeply

And solve many machines

My employer recommends me to get CompTIA sec+ so I wanna study for that too

[muted olive]

Yeah. But still... the potential of failing and wasting money

[meager kernel]

1800$ gets you 2 trials I think

True

Oh damn

What's the material in CompTIA sec+?

[muted olive]

Its very easy

[meager kernel]

Both defensive and offensive?

[meager kernel]

It is?

It'll help me in my internship

[muted olive]

yeah

[meager kernel]

How much time would I need to study for it?

Like how many weeks/months?

What material should I study for it

[muted olive]

search for practice tests online

[torn cedar]

Messer is the way

[sharp shuttle]

oscp up to 2k now? lmfao just pay f or 200 dollar chatgpt pro, what a scam

[muted olive]

nah, 1700 for the training + one attempt

[sharp shuttle]

I wish I could take it without completing the path, but I might speedrun it

[sharp shuttle]

9/10 times just lying that you have OSCP on the resume is probably going to get you a job, we call this risk assessment professionally

same with degree

[muted olive]

don't they check or ask for credential links?

[sharp shuttle]

i have never in my entire life had anybody check either

[alpine pumice]

i've never once had a job actually check anything

[carmine pecan]

Me neither

[alpine pumice]

they don't even call references

[sharp shuttle]

nope, not even once

ive probably done over 80 contracts

[muted olive]

oh then hi. I'm OSCE3, GIAC, CISSP, GCFA, GCIH, GNFA, GREM, CPTS, CWES, CWEE, CDSA and CAPE

[carmine pecan]

don't lie about CAPE

What nobody wants ceh now?

[muted olive]

Indian companies do 🤡

I'm not touching that cert with a ten foot pole

[mint raptor]

Indian corpo sucks change my mind

All they do is have politics and care about degrees

[muted olive]

this country isn't for IT/cyber

other stuff like management, design etc? sure

but yep

[mint raptor]

A handful of companies are changing this culture about degrees tho

[carmine pecan]

thon

[mint raptor]

But very few

[muted olive]

I mean I think the top Indian companies are good

[mint raptor]

Yeah mother I'm sorry

[muted olive]

TCS, wipro etc

[mint raptor]

No they are not

They are the worst

Only the startups are good

[muted olive]

why

[mint raptor]

The top companies have the most politics, and they do care about degree, even Deloitte based on what I heard from my friend

It's not the company

It's the staff

[muted olive]

if you're looking at companies which don't care about degree there are very few

[mint raptor]

Startup culture is good

[muted olive]

apart from startups

[muted olive]

HR are 🤡s anywhere

[mint raptor]

I mean even if the company is good will u be able to work there in a toxic environment?

[muted olive]

Depends

Wipro has really good opportunities

You may not have to work there

Like, they'd assign you to a project with a different company

You're just "from wipro" so to speak but you're working for someone else on a contracted project

that could be any company that they have links with

[mint raptor]

Wipro has mixed reviews based on location and role so it's more about luck there

If u get toxic people around u

[muted olive]

They usually transfer to companies which operate in US or Europe

[mint raptor]

That does depends on the role

[muted olive]

so you could get sponsored for a visa and go work at whichever company they stick you with a project for

[muted olive]

Yeah

[hard harbor]

I consider myself to be dumb and i managed to get a passing percentage on my practice exam with zero studying

Once I have the money to afford the cert I’ll probably go for it

[muted olive]

lol same with the practice tests

So someone on linked in reached out because I post about my email adventures, and said this:

I contacted you for an email Position and you scheduled a call with me! I would like to ask you if you can tell me what type of Email engineering experience do you have? Do you have Development Experience? Thanks!

This was my response:

Hi, Thanks for reaching out and I'm looking forward to our call.

I have been running and maintaining a full stack email infrastructure for dozens of domains and email accounts for over a decade. I'm very experienced with deliverability tuning: DNS controls like SPF, DKIM, DMARC, DNSBL, and reputation management.

Specifically, I deploy and maintain Exim4 as a production MTA on Linux systems in the backend, and Postfix (Proxmox Mail Gateway) in the front end, tuning routing, transports, routers, ACLs, and retry rules for precise mail flow control. I manage authenticated SMTP with strong TLS enforcement and ciphers, implement layered spam and abuse defenses including RBL checks, HELO validation, rate limiting, and DKIM signing. I’m skilled in diagnosing queue issues such as frozen messages, retry loops, and delivery delays, and integrating Exim4 with Dovecot and Proxmox Mail Gateway for security. I automate operational maintenance and constantly monitor logs to improve deliverability and detect anomalies, and handle blacklist remediation and reputation monitoring. I also secure the full email stack using firewalls, greylisting, spoof/relay protections, and fail2ban.

On the development side, I'm a full stack PHP developer, and automate operational tasks using bash and python. I also use Ansible to automate tasks. I'm also comfortable debugging email-related issues at the protocol level (SMTP, IMAP).

I'd be happy to go deeper into specific systems or projects during the call, just let me know what’s most important to your team.

Let's see what happens.

[alpine pumice]

that probably took you like 10 mins

[terse dirge]

no

a few hours cause our network is slow and I decided to redo all of it because k3s kept crashing

I also had to fix the 2 new proxmox nodes that got added

the nfs shares weren't being mounted properly and it turns out its just a few specific IPs that can mount them

[alpine pumice]

my work has a ton of old nuc7's and i could probably get some and make a proxmox cluster. idk if i really want them though. what kinda cool shit could i do with a proxmox cluster at home? i already have a media pc that also runs some docker containers

[terse dirge]

you can make a kubernetes cluster with those proxmox nodes

[alpine pumice]

ya but then what lol

i don't really need to run much which is why i'm probably gonna say nah to it

[terse dirge]

move all your docker containers to it and setup rancher

or if you have extra money to spend you can use portainer and buy a license

so a WHOLE game is running on 1 ip???

well from what ik
the game itself doesnt have IP address
each lobby youre playing has a seperate IP

likle

[torn cedar]

It took you a week to notice

[warped plank]

no, there's different ip addresses for each server

[meager kernel]

if youre playing CS2

no, every server will most likely have multiple IP addresses to handle a magical thing called load balancing

[meager kernel]

@austere aurora you can inject code in the game servers, cause thats how spinbot cheats work

[warped plank]

games load balancing? that's unheard of

[meager kernel]

but the amount of things you can achieve are very limited

[torn cedar]

I thought he wanted to bypass Anti-Cheat. If that's the case iirc you need to do some RE and learn about kernel levels.

[warped plank]

depends on the type of game

[austere aurora]

damn

so either ways its not easy

[meager kernel]

alot of games with non-kernel AC too

CS2 is probably the easiest to cheat in

cause it doesnt have an AC

😂

[warped plank]

valve AC:

Am I a joke to you?

[meager kernel]

Yes.

[austere aurora]

what about a company. how would it be possible to bypass a company, there are many ip addresses in a company. cuz each computer would have information different than others

[terse dirge]

ikr

[meager kernel]

Active Directory

learn that

[west lynx]

Get Started with the HTB Beginners Bible: https://www.hackthebox.com/blog/learn-to-hack-beginners-bible

[austere aurora]

does that mean someone would have to hack each box

[warped plank]

yes and no...

[meager kernel]

nah you can pivot

[austere aurora]

ill start the academy next week

[meager kernel]

you gotta start active directory for that

[warped plank]

I mean even with pivoting you can't just hop across to another comuter

[meager kernel]

yea

ehhh it depends in each case

[terse dirge]

https://tenor.com/view/yap-yapper-yapping-what-huh-gif-17267607410251793922

[austere aurora]

trust me i dont know either. thats why im here

[austere aurora]

what are meant by keys when it comes to database redis

[meager kernel]

its alright

[torn cedar]

Just start going down the rabbit hole with Google searches and some videos.

[meager kernel]

it'll be faster to google it

[torn cedar]

[austere aurora]

yee i was but i didnt get anything

[warped plank]

They're used for database indexing and search optimization, not really any useful in hacking
nevermind I didn't know redis was a k:v database, moving on...

[terse dirge]

redis is a keystore database

[meager kernel]

man ive been meaning to learn how to develop video game cheats for fun

[terse dirge]

instead of tables it uses keys

[austere aurora]

i figured out that while im in the redis server

i can do "select 0"

and that would show me keys?

but it isnt

[torn cedar]

My buddy used to do it and it seems pretty fun, just very mentally taxing from what I've seen.

Well with RE

[warped plank]

It's RE of course it's mentally taxing

[meager kernel]

i see

i dont like the concept of buying or getting free cheats

if you develop cheats, thats more fun

[warped plank]

and it's even harder with kernel level but at that point just get DMA card

[meager kernel]

and then test them

[warped plank]

They're never free, there's always a catch

[meager kernel]

yea most free ones are malware

[warped plank]

all*

[austere aurora]

RE would be taking data to where it started?

[meager kernel]

download them, and youre giving a free shell

[warped plank]

RE is Reverse Engineering, it's not about the data it's about the processes

[meager kernel]

why is this the first thing i see when i search DMA cards

[warped plank]

I couldn't care less about what data a game stores until I figure out how it stores it

[austere aurora]

i see

you do that to be able to make cheats within the games boundaries

[warped plank]

though most valuable variables are stored server side so you gotta hack the server and use RE to get basic cheats like infinite health/ammo

[warped plank]

ngl though the only data that is feasibly readable straight from memory is enemy position data within a certain range, this is due to how maps work

[meager kernel]

the closest ive come to cheating is downloading pirated software like spotify patched

[terse dirge]

https://tenor.com/view/fbi-gif-2734175389934997010

[warped plank]

I've used the occasional macro on some of em grindy games

*ehem* warframe *ehem*

[meager kernel]

tbh ive pirated alot of things

my windows license is from massgrave scripts

[warped plank]

my windows license comes from lenovo

I use linux btw

[alpine pumice]

i bet you pirated it

[warped plank]

but I will forever hold the license hostage on my EFI

[warped plank]

https://tenor.com/view/jack-sparrow-gif-9601172

[meager kernel]

wait @warped plank would i get banned if i say ive pirated video games, youtube premium and movies?

[warped plank]

yes, yes you would, cos technically illegal and we do not condone illegal here

[meager kernel]

😭

well im not saying ive done any of that

[warped plank]

Yeah it's all hypothetical 😉

[meager kernel]

but i would say that the only service i pay for is HTB

[obtuse fern]

banned

[meager kernel]

nooooooooo

buying shit in a third world country is a pain

sailing the seven seas is far more convienent

[ornate wren]

What if it's not illegal in your country

Which jurisdiction is dominant here

[warped plank]

Europe

[meager kernel]

well IIRC, many countries dont have anti-piracy laws

[warped plank]

HTB is a European company

[meager kernel]

country

[warped plank]

Nope, only 2

[meager kernel]

oh, which ones are those

[terse dirge]

@meager kernel are you from north korea?

[meager kernel]

no

[obtuse fern]

jurisdiction applies to the country hosting the service (if they care)

[warped plank]

https://tenor.com/view/marx-marxism-communism-intesifies-funny-gif-16697750

take a guess

[meager kernel]

aight

yea i got the names

[obtuse fern]

fun fact: you can go to jail in SK for hacking in a video game

[warped plank]

fun fact: you won't go to jail in Russia if you hacked anyone outside of Russia

[meager kernel]

my country has very relaxed laws regarding piracy
no one enforces them at all, using torrent never flags you

[obtuse fern]

Russia exists?

[ornate wren]

I wonder if the North Korean apt guys play ctfs

Any of you could be one of them

[meager kernel]

in US, using torrent makes your ISP flag you

[ornate wren]

We'd never know

[warped plank]

I mean, noone really enforces anti-piracy until a company complains

[carmine pecan]

They do

[alpine pumice]

in US, you're flagged no matter what you're using

[meager kernel]

most companies usually dont complain, unless theyre a bitch

[ornate wren]

ISPs don't care unless they get a complaint from copyright holder

And even then it's like here's strike 1 of 10

[warped plank]

Easy way to tell:
whoever leaves after me saying:
Kim Jong Un is fat

[meager kernel]

lmao

see who left

please

[warped plank]

noone after me saying that, so no apts... for now

hoddup there a knock on my door

[meager kernel]

why do you guys have different colors on the same role?

OHH WAIT

HTB staff

[warped plank]

They're staff, they not the same role

[ornate wren]

Or their software just censored it. They saw "long live glorious dprk"

[meager kernel]

ah didnt see that

[terse dirge]

https://tenor.com/view/leader-kim-jong-un-north-korea-gif-8893271

[meager kernel]

i have a coding exam on monday

i dislike writing code

[warped plank]

not at all far from the realm of possibility

[meager kernel]

lets hack NK 😈

(jk)

[terse dirge]

I would not even joke about that tbh

[meager kernel]

ehh they cant do anything

[ornate wren]

Some guy at defcon I think gave a talk about hacking a nk apt

Dumped all their info and tools

[soft fern]

Rip, Sony.

[ornate wren]

Was interesting, they just work stealing money as a 9-5 job.

[warped plank]

Don't answer that knock on your door 💀

[meager kernel]

💀

[warped plank]

NK is legit scary as fudge, they tricked 2 women into killing Kim Jong Un's half-brother

[terse dirge]

maybe, they're definitely a scary apt tho

[meager kernel]

yea AS A PRANK

[terse dirge]

one of their C&C servers for a botnet was discovered and like a day later it went berserk and the DNS records went years back and the IP had no history of being malicious

[meager kernel]

im pretty sure some NK spy might be on this server

[terse dirge]

by years I mean it had records going back as far as 2016

[ornate wren]

What's their favorite box though

[meager kernel]

@warped plank do mods generally have an idea if HTB gets involved in some country's investigation due to their user

[warped plank]

they'd probably like APTlabs

[meager kernel]

like some user did something illegal

[ornate wren]

For $50/m? NK doesn't have that kind of money

[meager kernel]

and he/she was active here

[warped plank]

https://tenor.com/view/maam-this-is-a-wendys-gif-22294839

[meager kernel]

is it possible that HTB would also be involved in the investigation

[warped plank]

what makes you think they'd have to pay for it?

[devout sail]

usually just wearing a random ID card and nerdy glasses and being handsome works
walk into any office anf start fixing stuff and take their pass

[warped plank]

if HTB were involved us mods wouldn't know, or at least me, some mods do know stuff 👀

[terse dirge]

if HTB's servers were used to carry out a cyber attack or illegal activity then ya

[warped plank]

I chose not to opt in to knowing stuff

[devout sail]

ignorance is bliss

[meager kernel]

a friend of mine who is also in this server was involved in some investigation, his another friend was doing some illegal activity

[warped plank]

The less I know the better cos my tounge will definitely slip

[meager kernel]

he told me that HTB was also present when the investigation took place

[ornate wren]

I mean htb is i presume a real legitimate company that responds to legal law enforcement requests so

[devout sail]

hehe fair enough, i dont wanna be in such situation too

[ornate wren]

At least I hope so!

how'd you get so many credits?

🤷

[devout sail]

any mods can give u

[cerulean bloom]

giftcards and rewards ib

[cerulean bloom]

wha

mods give you credits?

[devout sail]

i mean

staff

its confusing

[cerulean bloom]

I see

[meager kernel]

alright quick coding question

how do i read elements of an array like continously

[devout sail]

range?

[cerulean bloom]

which language

[meager kernel]

like if i have to read 4 3 2 1 in one line

without enter

[meager kernel]

cpp

c++

[cerulean bloom]

use a for loop

[devout sail]

meh idk cpp

[meager kernel]

yea but then?

[cerulean bloom]

for(int i = 0; i < arr.size(); i++) {
    cout << arr[i] << " ";
}

[devout sail]

i know

{{$slice = cslice 1 2 3 4 5}}
{{range $slice}}
  {{.}} the dot is the current element
{{end}}

[cerulean bloom]

for each element in the array, print out that element

[meager kernel]

suppose i created an array of integer size n
i took n as input from the user

and now i want the user to input n values inside the array

but without him pressing enter

[cerulean bloom]

you want to get input?

[meager kernel]

1 2 3 4 5 6 ....... n

[cerulean bloom]

thats easy

[meager kernel]

yes

[cerulean bloom]

for(int i = 0; i < arr.size(); i++) {
    cin >> arr[i];
}

[devout sail]

ask him to type like this?
5 1 2 3 4 5
first is the length N
then the array of len N

[cerulean bloom]

so like:
5
2 1 3 4 5

that would be the input?

[meager kernel]

yes

like this

how do i code that the second line of the input is 2 1 3 4 5

and the user doesnt have to press enter

[cerulean bloom]

you can use the code I sent above

[cerulean bloom]

this one

this won't matter if you press enter or not

[meager kernel]

hmm

lemme try

[cerulean bloom]

it will get in the different inputs if the values are separated by a space or enter

[torn cedar]

how do you guys learn coding

and logic building

this seems so freaking hard to me istg

[sharp shuttle]

just do it

[hoary dawn]

Who codes any more just ask AI to make it then fix the errors #ez

Or write it yourself then ask ai to fix the errors!

[meager kernel]

i knew there'll be some guy who will come here and say that

[green kite]

lol, I haven't had the best results with AI coding

had to re-do a lot of shit

[hoary dawn]

I give Claude code full perms

I don’t even review anything

Bro just works

🤣🤣

[meager kernel]

i hope that is sarcasm

[green kite]

Yeah, I tried it with Magento. Any LLM I tried gives shit results

[hoary dawn]

Why is it sarcasm

I mean like

A computer is going to be good at doing computer things

🤣🤣

[meager kernel]

youre missing the fact that AI does make mistakes in code

[sharp shuttle]

the future is bleak if you guys have jobs

shit

[meager kernel]

and AI made code isnt secure most of the times

[meager kernel]

ikr

[hoary dawn]

Hey man I just said u can either ask AI to write it and fix the errors yourself or vice versa 🤣🤣

[meager kernel]

these AI coders are the reasons why CS industry is going to shit

[hoary dawn]

Bro didn’t you just come in here asking how to code

Wtf do you know about the CS industry

[meager kernel]

yea im actually making the effort on learning how to do it myself

[hoary dawn]

So then don’t ask boy go do it yourself

[meager kernel]

i didnt just ask any LLM for an easy way out

[devout sail]

his middle name is hypocrite

[hoary dawn]

Asking ain’t doin it yourself

[devout sail]

you are wasting your time then

[meager kernel]

meh

[devout sail]

you should ask AI if u cant understand shit

[sharp shuttle]

what do you know?

[devout sail]

just add ELI5

what if you're blind

[terse dirge]

C is for boomers vro

[meager kernel]

how would you use a PC if youre blind

[scenic maple]

then you use the braille version ofc

[hoary dawn]

I ain’t gonna sit here and argue with someone who is just against AI just to be against AI. Just sounding like every other ignorant braindead schmuck on the internet. If everyone with the half a brain they claim to have would just come to such a simple understanding that AI does better work then they could’ve possibly ever fathomed since growing up in this world instead of just being butthurt that it’s more talented than you, I refuse to believe you’re anywhere near reasonable

altho technical interview is not needed i prefer nepotism

[raven rain]

you still need technical interview

[sharp shuttle]

most cyber interviews have vulnerable code review, logic/bitwise, and fixing an exploit

[obtuse jay]

let me try

[austere aurora]

like my question is when can i tell that smb isnt the way into the box

[obtuse jay]

when somethiing else is

there's barely 2-3 serviices open

[austere aurora]

is it wrong to open cheat sheets?

[sturdy thistle]

not at all

[rose onyx]

bruh

[quaint hinge]

no, some people have a literal hive of obsidian notes open at all times

[obtuse jay]

yes

its very wrong

[obtuse jay]

ii thiinik he means writeups

stop deletiinig messages

[quaint hinge]

depends on if you're doing something that is active or retired. If the former, then you are cheating

[obtuse jay]

love upto your words

[obtuse jay]

even iiin retiired iii dont use that till iii am stuck for like 10 miiins or more

[quaint hinge]

thatttssss goooddd

[obtuse jay]

are u mockiing me twin

[austere aurora]

i have obsidian notes tho..

i write new stuff i learn

[obtuse jay]

my ii key is broken

[quaint hinge]

notes are fine, but if you're reading a writeup to solve an active encounter that is cheating

a filthy heinous thing to do

[austere aurora]

makes sense

[obtuse jay]

iiif u have obsiidiian notes i have cobblestone notes 😂

gg wp my wiifi is dow

down

fml

[austere aurora]

by a cheat sheet i js meant.
i found out that i can run smb
so i go to google and write smb cheat sheet, i get a bunch of commands i dont know and try them out until something works

i dont use official writeups

[quaint hinge]

official writeups are good, after the encounter is inactive. super helpful to get a retrospective look at what you did previously

What are you trying to do ?
