How can I run ZSH on windows?
Vro
u can make a spanish song out of random words and it slaps
Bash is not for windows
quanta costa seniorita
Let me provide some italian banger
bash is for the misses if i can get her to hold still long enough

my 3 year old loves the racoon dancing to it
Idk if I missed the joke
we might be on the cutting edge of burp extension development right now, how does that make you feel? lol
doesnt matter lol
Chatgpt says you have dark humor and not idiomatic
Give me a song Im getting intoxicated with pedro.pedro
We are only limited by our imagination
Is like breathing a fart from a bag
GraphQL client next
GraphQL C2?
helm?? Like Helm with Kubernetes???
oh shit dawg
guys stop playing games
@zealous charm and I are on the cutting edge of tool dev rn
and all yall are falling behind
Nuclei but claude managed burp extension please
my lands, i am doing some calls now to draw the line with these people
he gonna know who am i

but I'm already employed
Draw it with chalk
this is a good idea, we launch nuclei from burp and have all vulns reported through Issues
So the enemy doesnt know
Funnily enough I already had claude using a burp extenion today via MCP
How is it?
it was okay, found 1 open redirect
I vibe turbo giga coded my way out of work today
Literally at my 2% capacity
While yapping at discord
Managed to have the job done
and a few phishing emails
Aha
which were some safe and some spam
SIR YES SIR
π₯ ...
Debian looks so oldish style
It is for older people
Well known cigar smokers white bearded people
I'm good with Windows I think
Vro
Switching to linux is such a hassle
Where is the problem
What is the problem
Idk I just don't have a reason to put myself through the inconvenience and switch
Is it bash? Is it managing linux?
If it works for you, it works for you
Windows hasn't been bad enough for me to switch
What don't you like
Windows has been my daily for a long time
No it's not that I don't like anything
I just don't have a reason to switch
Hmmm
I'm sorry to hear that
Yea same, been using it for like 15 years (I'm 19)

I've been using Linux for 7 years now
Me too!!!
developing on windows is a different kinda hell
Yes
I'm not a developer so meh
Skill issue
They forced me to use windows from 2 months ago
I hate every second of my life while at work
Goblin hire me as a dev in htb 
Subs by BSS
Install gentoo
goblin doesnt hire
most likely because I'm more used to linux now with all things programming
How though?
Like can you give me detailed reasons
I'm not a developer, I barely write code at all and for cybersec I always use VM
How is development on windows so different than linux? Can't you just use an IDE like VS Codium on both
Goblin tell emma to hire me 
https://www.hackthebox.com/join-us, although it's probably not the best time, as it's budget time. Check back in the new year I guess
I'll apply on new year
oof budget time
There are a couple of Engineering roles though
I want to submit some boxes first
Why oof? Planning is now oof?
You know to maximize my chances
Budget time before xmas
ah
because doing things like settings paths isn't as straight forward as it is in linux, windows tries to be more "user friendly" by encouraging your to use a gui
so apply in 2027 @supple plume
Isn't using GUI meant for the convenience?
I'll apply when I think I have more chances
Id prefer CLI
it's not always the most efficient and uses system resources (typically lots of system resources) leading it to being slower than just doing everything in the terminal
faster
Maybe at the end of 2026
Or 10 months from now
Aprox
I see
Any other reasons you can point out?
I have a fast enough PC which can hire GUI applications too, so it's not much of an issue
Careful, they might say they use Arch
btw
Yea I'm kinda expecting that lmao
I do use arch.. btw
I use arch, neovim and split keyboard btw
Wait what's hard in that?
Just try that
xmonad on arch
Dude I use windows everyday
That's why I'm asking, what's hard in that
"Something is using that file"
lol what
So close that damn application bruh
File locking is not a Windows unique problem
Sometimes is not an application is a background process
You can't seriously think that
ya, windows's package manager kinda sucks too
Windows wont even tell you which one
Neither will Linux unless you look
Right click on the file
Press copy
Paste it in the directory where you want
I think we're being baited Kratos
Idk I never had that problem like that
That's literally how you move a file
I wish I was Scottish, would roleplaying as a dwarf more enjoyable
Vro
He hasn't touched windows for very long
I guess he's just having growing pains
Or whatever you call them
breaking your work laptop with pacman update builds character
Hahah
nn
windows to my knowledge doesn't have the developer ecosystem that linux has
nn
Lmao yea that I agree with
Windows has winget I think, kinda stupid
If I could install APT on it, I would
Developing in windows = waking up hangover in the middle of a football match
Whenever I have to write some code, I use VS codium
Write the code
Save it
And execute it whenever I have to
I still don't understand how you were stuck on moving the file
Just open file explorer
Right click
wait till you hear about developing FOR windows
Vro is not that easy
That is the problem
BRO
So you're just not used to it
It wont tell me what is locking the file
Even in the terminal it's easy
it's not efficient and fast. GUIs use too many resources
Ok man you dont think I can copy paste a file its ok
Just use the mv command
terminal is goated
Istg why do you guys obsess over minor resources so much
I'm pretty sure your PC is fast enough to run a file explorer
brah
File explorer uses like few MBs of ram
because it's not using an extra 2% of resources, it's more like an extra 20% of resources
I have a very good hardware computer for work, runs on windows and it goes considerably slower than my smaller computer running arch
Huhh???
How much ram do you have my guy?
32 GB
What programs are you even running? π
How is file explorer running slow on 32 GB? ππ
Holy baiting
Apache, mariadb, node and php processes
Browser
And other related things
ask MS
I've run 5 resource heavy games on my 32 GB ram and it still hasn't lagged for me π
Wtf is up with y'all PCs
no
its the fact that
for example
I want to make a file
thats like 2 sec in linux
Try it with Tarkov
what if you have to convert hundreds of gigs of bin images to chd and sort them alphabetically under a subfolder structure.. what then windows man
YEAH WHAT THEN WINDOWS MAN
chat gpt and powershell script
PowerShell
File explorer has a sorting button
A normal day at work
Like in the top
I start my computer , no now is time to update sorry about your meet
You can sort alphabetically or according to size or according to date of modification
Then I get to log in and something is not there, I get advertisements on my desktop
Istg people just sometimes overhate windows
I try to run something and it just doesnt work and there is no way to know why
Changes my keyboard layout everytime
does windows run ZFS, can you even write that many files on NTFS
the API docs also suck ass
I try to do anything and it just doesn't work....
skill issue
Can't comment much on that, haven't used it that deep
Makes me want to find bill gates and rm -rf
People say the same about linux too
I want to ask
in windows everything is an object
does easy Web boxes has Privilege escalation?
There another problem
Like I'm not saying linux is completely trash
It has its own uses
I use linux most of the day when doing pentesting
But as a daily driver, I still think windows is superior for gaming and normal day task
blocks of virtual memory are objects π
Hot off the press: people have opinions
Yea
Simplicity
That's everything I want
not fair..
I'm not against Linux, to be clear
Just highlighting why "everything is an object" is funny to be seen as a problem
I'm against windows because I'm forced to use it
i have been in exile for a week but amma back lmao
I'm against Mac, firstly because I was forced to use it, but secondly because I didn't like it
I could use mac
Nobody likes Mac
Not even Mac users like Mac
So could I
I never did
but it's not what I'm most efficient with
i use MAC
I mean I could give it a try
Wsp
craple is wonderful once you know how to unlish it's potential of course
Here π§ π«
You could all argue for days pro and against Linux, Windows, Potato or Tomato
There will never be agreement
Mac isn't hated enough
Netscape Navigator or bust morons
crapple is expansive tho
We like to discuss this kind of things I guess
crap and toss is good but their phones just a missery
Buy a dell optiplex and you'll buy mechanical engineering at its most fucking beige
why not just run powershell on linux
Huh, why was that message red?
Which one
It happens sometimes
Fair fair
installed kali on my one mac and other shin on the other mac yyum
tbh I use windows, mac and linux all.. for different purposes
It was an angrier message
if you wanna learn about kernel functions https://ntdoc.m417z.com MS doesn't document a lot of crap
NtDoc - The native NT API online documentation
Lt Kernel lmao
I wish we never left windows xp behind
lmao
I liked windows 10 but 11 is fine
I use void linux btw 
jesus XP was such a joy to be honest when it just came out
10's design was more pleasing
Maybe I try that this weekend
transition from millennium was huge
Aright
windows for gaming, macos for running linux vms and music production and linux for.. linux
Someone in HTB made an informational video, styled as XP with VHS grain for added "huhh" effect
Freakin epic
ascend to even more elitism @supple plume
I saw the video in Slack, the XP start bar and was about to lose my shit
If you have some good docs or links to share I would appreciate
To do some 
they still study XP in Cyber coz it is very good on basics of exploitation it is basicaly wide opened lmao
me needs to be send back in time with what i know now
Perfect, saving them on my discord server
I highly recommend going with a window manager instead of a desktop environment btw
nope gotta find it yourseld lmao
Plenty of legacy systems still out there
Ok
legacy IT systems are the real evil
scary and so so sweet and good
I use sway right now but i3 is another really good one
bspwm has too many moving parts
we made up online and he gave me his 8tr download
such a sweet man God Bless ppl like that
Aright time to read 
if you need inspiration https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/
I don't like to rice my system
i need some good ass themes for my new linux mac lmao
I like to have a black wallpaper with nothing but keybindings

Maybe burp
I mean, you can use your terminal as a browser 
try it, it's worth learning linux ricing because you'll get better at using linux
i must do that
Ok
Maybe I try it
If I do I'll flex some pictures here
but 9me0w is fumbling with other settings on this mac and toss
The only thing I ever customized is my bash prompt
right now i have basic lolipop shit they game me
need to set up alot of stuff before fresh back up
you kidding?
someone aggroed me
Now customize your multiplexer, taskbar, wallpaper, gtk theme, greeter, keybinds, spotify.
haven't we all kept track of our golf scores on microsoft excel
nuh uh
i am cray cray about bash set up there are so many options i always make it in deep purple scean coz it is my fav color
I mean I wouldn't go as far as the greeter if you're using a window manager
yis must have spoty that shit is so good for cincentration
Huh? I use sway and my greeter is the most customized part of my setup 
You literally spend 1 second on the greeter
Sway was just: configure monitors and wallpaper. Done
Greeter was: change colors, icons, wallpaper, font, greeter size, default session.
I should try niri https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri
Do you recommend wayland?
don't tell him
How would you even use the scrolling function?
just slide
I feel like I like how my windows auto-tile, does the scrolling change that?
it's nice but a bunch of stuff doesn't like it
tilts everything
*ehem* nvidia
I had many problems with it once
When I tried
infinite scrolling tiles.. that seems interesting
After configuring everything I updated wayland and then all the config was meant to be done differently
I hated that
Wayland goofy but modern so we like.
GL spending 67 million hours in ricing then crashing ur OS

I know 
Do it on nixos, ez rollbacks but ngl a bit of a pain to rice properly
But it looks nice
Maybe get a mentor like @scenic maple
6/7 bait
I should make it look like windows xp
@terse dirge show your setup π
Private bounty excludes issues from scope... well that's a get out of jail free card I guess
WAF by pass, counts as an issue I suppose
Who reviews these scope documents
It's a way to reduce the workload
aye
Doing the wifi path rn
Will report anyway, it's a weird one
must go play games
Basically:
Thanks for letting us know, but uhh this is outta scope, we defo gonna fix though.
Nice π I meant Web Application Firewall though
Yeah, I had that enough times π€£
Pineapples are fun
I wanna buy a pineapple pager but don't wanna piss off the people in my network 
Because that has everything
At least you can buy the AC wifi dongl... oh out of stock
Shame they didn't build 5ghz into it tbh
When is it not fucking out of stock?
I got one somewhere, with that sweet transparent case
I really am kicking myself. I didnβt get the pager.
:dusts off hack rf one:
π
yarp
bro got the same product just different forms
So am I missing out a ton not having the pager vs the mark 7
Amazing the difference between HackRF One and other well pushed adapters
It's like night and day the quality
You seen these things? Not truly an SDR, but funny to carry about
Ayyye got one of those downstairs too, but I think it was a knockoff
so bought one straight from greatscott
hello
Well, I mean from their resellers, instead of a random Amazon listing like my first one
most fun I had with radio stuff was building VLF radios and tune into submarine transmissions and natural spherics from the atmosphere
I wish I could get the gabecube if only to fuck with it
what is the best module in academy for learning website vulnerabilities?
Cbbh
Hm, keep thinking the daughter is coming down the stairs, but I think it's just the house being blown apart by the wind..
Cwes* and thats a path, not a module
stay safe
I know I was being facetious
wind strong enough to make it sound like a person is crazzy
Theres no one best module, as theres a few modules that cover various web vulns from LFI to RCE
subway engines also emit really interesting sounding low frequency EM radiation
Best way to be a hacker is to develop schizophrenia where you envision your father talking to you on the daily
like a subway train? how'd you even get close enough to the engine? 
As pen noted, theres the cwes path on academy which covers a fair bit of the common ones. Cwee takes it a step further
You know I really like coming to your cafe
I noticed your internet speed was too fast, too fast actually and it got me suspicious
So I started hacking you
Cheers, 40-50mph, not as bad as the other week, had worse up here lol
yes those VLF radios are extremely sensitive
you can't even use them indoors because the power network hum totally saturates them
is the Web Penetration Tester good for beginner?
Depends how fast you pick things up, I'd start with CJCA
(Junior cybersecurity analyst path)
I tried to use an upconverter with hackrf but the VLF range wasn't really usable on that setup
EJPT is a really good one to start with
isnt that the exam
You canβt take any of the hack the box exams, unless you finish every single morsel of the module questions
https://academy.hackthebox.com/preview/certifications/htb-certified-junior-cybersecurity-associate, check the Related Job-Role-Path tab for what is covered prior to the exam
Definitely a good starting point
Or you know donβt and be a cool guy who donβt need no certs
Or that, each to their own
I really should continue that cert 
my only focus right now is learning new techniques and how they work so i can get started on the labs.
You could hit up Starting Point too
You can do that on the labs
It's what I do 
If you want ultimate hand holding do the try hack me paths
Most important choice to make is to get started
Whatever comes after, if it helps, it helps
I thought you had to learn in academy and then go to labs
Ngl I learned a lot more on labs than I did on academy
You can pay for academy, the labs, then pro labs
Like yesterday I learned on a lab that ADCS has deny ACEs not just role based permissions
I tried learning from the walkthrough pdf on labs and i learned Nmap and how to start a openvpn, but not all of them have walkthrough so i assumed you had to learn from academy
All the retired ones have writeups and some of them are free to play
You can learn however best works for you, be that more guided through Academy, or working blind and researching / learning under your own steam on Labs
You dont have to learn by academy you can just learn by trial and error and googling
Portswigger has a lot of it
That being said: go grind academy for at least the basics. "Information Security Foundations" path has all the fundamentals you need. After that you choose where you wanna go.

Active machines shouldnt have walkthroughs, this is where they differ from other platforms. Until a box retires, everyone is theoretically on the same playing field when starting it
thanks!
"Theoretically"
*ehem* top 10 with custom tooling and automations blooding in 3 mins while the box still spawning for most people 
you guys are super helpful
Hack the box is such a blessing because back in the day this didnβt exist and people were getting into trouble
People who wanted to learn about security would be fucking around on their schools network
In theory, not in practice. Some people blink and do esc-7
Hack the box saved, at least several hundred people from getting felony charges in their country
i mean... it aint that hard... unless it's hardened against the usual method
- give self officer/manager
- enable SubCA
- req cert, save id
- issue id
- req cert with id
- PTC

I won Level Effect training for SOC 3
the whole course, 7 exam certs, SOC 100-1 to SOC 100-5, DE&TH, and the cyber defense analyst course too π i woke up in disbelief
Noice, bro boutta hit the grind
canβt tell if itβs 14 weeks or 47 weeks but itβs immense, lowkey afraid
Yeah, i just moved some funds around, gonna move in full time with gf, and get this shit DONE
Get a CDA cert π«‘

I'm working on a new one with niri
just need to think of a theme
Guess who just told the police about a gambling operation near me at a gas station that gave me expired fun dip
can anyone help me to find origin ip address behind a cloud fare, done plenty of DNS lookups cant find anywhere
Over expired fun dip? Damn thats cold
If they have it set up a certain way you're not gonna be able to get the origin ip

hi guys , ubuntu or Pop os or parrot os ??
Note: I have an NVIDIA graphics card
points for u guys i m not that good in english so u think ama a indian scammer xD
start with ubuntu and move on if you don't like it I guess
ubuntu has nvidia drivers available on the package manager
Thank you, my brother, but I searched and found that Pop!_OS is more stable with Nvidia. Is that true?
never tried pop os
I use both and never had trouble,
install windows, NVIDIA is shit on linux
truue
i remember being recommended pop os on the owlsec server before they banned me for talking about the discord lawsuit π
you can just ask ai to install nvidia drivers on windows
that defeats the entire purpose of using linux
just like in star trek
I tried it for like 30 minutes and hated it because I couldn't do shit on it
it's something you can give your grandma
now what i should to do (windows or ubntu or pop π)
I am already a Windows user
??
i read one reddit page about pop os just now and people seem to be pretty happy with how "casual friendly" pop os is
although i plan to run it on a vm before i decide to replace my current windows lol
Me when I take my meds and my Vulcan gf disappears.
Windows + WSL + VMs + Docker = Completion

It was overpriced also they pissed me off so I tell on their gambling operation
You don't know who torvalds is?

see, effective rage bait actually requires us to not think you're that clueless
No reason for that

hello everyone im alexx im interesting in starting a cybersecurity career, mainly pentesting as a 17 year old fresh out of highschool, i was curios on what to look out and how to take notes and all those, i have a decent knowlegde on linux commands,networks,nmap, and some basic exploits i was wondering if u guys have any recommendations or any advice?
Imagine failing to rage bait
nahh you wont
thank youuu
hey who is online
starting point is specifically for the starting point boxes; not for noobs starting out. Will poke and see if we can get it changed to 'starting-point-labs' or something like that to make it less ambiguous
asked him to do the starting point boxes there
if you get too close remember the consequences :)
good idea, it is kinda ambiguous

gambling addicts (those whom this app is targeted at) don't make logical decisions
I don't think anyone is going to disagree
never said it was
It preys on gambling addicts and the financially illiterate and desperate
any app that targets individuals with addictive tendencies is going to be unethical and predatory
So true
it's why Gacha games are known as Dark Horses; they add a layer of abstraction to the gambling, but it's still gambling and is why in many countries games that contain them are banned or the games that do contain those aspects strip them out in those countries
i believe the EU has some pretty strict laws re: gambling in video games
i thought the r word was prohibited?

I didn't mind. I know there are people from different countries here. π
eh it wasn't necessarily offensive. But if you want a real trip look into the people that Hellen Keller surrounded herself with. Besides, Hellen Keller was the one who was mute
Yoo Helen Keller seem like she was a good person. I don't know what you mean. She was sorroundes by regular people who was helping her. I am super confused now.
She held views on Eugenics early in life. She did later change those views. But yeah. Also I didnt necessarily mean it in an overtly negative way.
I stalk conspiracy theorists and had displeasure of arguing with a bunch in a server I am in. I wrote the bio to annoy them.
W bio, keep up the good work soldier
Yeah just keeping look out for any terroristic intents or whatever.
Aye aye ma'am. π«‘
@west basalt is your bio about the book written by napolean Hill titled "outwitting the devil"?
OK ask her if her bio is from that book. I have a feeling it might be?

I spoke to a flat earther. He was fucking nuts and crazy

Imagine being this much of a globehead
Why are pro labs shared? It takes the fun out when you see other playerβs tools already transferred on the box so itβs easy to deduce by that whatβs the next plan. Only plus side is I save the 5 secs of not having to transfer the tools myself. π
prolabs are expensive, they're multi machine. It'd cost even more to have them if they weren't shared
Makes sense but it also sort of breaks the illusion of the realism. I try to imagine that since it's they're vulnerable machines, other hackers have found their way in as well..

I love latex and hate it at the same time
Love it because it looks clean, hate it because of the syntax
might even make a wrapper where you type something like "I subscript o plus summation from t=1 to n : F sbuscript t divided by 1 + k whole to the power of t" and it converts that to latex
the wallpaper is also not cropped right 
It sometimes zooms in
i hate my life slightly more now knowing this information :)
well π©

tada
english to latex
Enter English: t plus 1 whole squared divided by n minus 1
$\frac{(t + 1)^2}{n - 1}$
looks better now
'whole squared' feels weird tbh
@scenic maple
its looks real nice
its how I usually say it
can add other variations to go along with it
it doesn't sound natural
how would you usually say it?
idk i feel like 'the square of t plus one divided by n minus one' (or the difference of n and 1) idk natural language interpretation grabbing parenthetical statements gets awkward
and sum of for t plus one
Hello chat π.
Has anyone ever tried the GreyHack game
i.e. 'the square of the sum of t and one divided by the difference of n and 1' leaves less ambiguity
idk i've done a lot of word problems
like if you were to describe that particular expression in english words only, how would you say it?
ah but here there might be a confusion whether its just t squared plus 1 or t+1 squared
the square of t plus one divided by the difference between n and 1
like t^2 + 1 or (t+1)^2 might be an issue
again though it's really the word whole that drives the weirdness
the square of the sum of is what leaves the least ambiguity
as you're saying take the square of the next expression

in words how would you differentiate between these two?
that can be used to remove the "whole" thing
Has my phone dropped resolution or yall pfps become squared
probably the former
or its because the decoration renders weirdly
ghostty terminal with niri and fuzzel
Since the time they removed the oem unlock option
i was about to say use ghotty to match the terminal
if i wanted to say ((t+1)/(n-1))^2 it'd probably look more like "the square of the quotient of the sum of t and 1 and the difference of n and 1"; and that gets more into general words where each and represents the end of the previous operator
I TRIED TO SEND A MESSAGE
AND
IT SAID I EXCEEDED THE PING LIMIT
so all imma say is
skill issue
lmao what
IM BACK IN THE LAND OF THE TEA
nice, how was the moving experience?
fun?
the neat thing about ghostty is you can use opengl with it π
I went to a&e
maybe if I remove the english option and make it regular brackets + operators to latex instead to make it less ambiguous
that's how I got the LCD look
π¬π§
is UK fun?
fancy a cuppa now guv'nor?
bo'lle of wa'er
not quite
Emergency because my hr shot up to 170.. twice
laughs in heavy british accent
bro cheated on kitty
oh damn take care
take rest
Honestly ya I missed it
Tyty
known health issue or one time occurrence?
yes. I used alacritty in my last one π
Hello everyone.
And who knows where the "Machine_Info_Card" went?
Known, got a tumour that acts up
oh
Ong a skill issue
Machine really comes on Monday

something that can be fixed by undergoing surgery?
-# I'm medically illiterate
the square of the sum of t and 1; using commas to list expressions that would get long i.e. "the quotient of the sum or difference of negative b and the square root of the difference between the square of b and the product of 4, a, and c and the product of 2 and a" <-- the verbose version of the quadratic formula
Im gonna visit new doctors and see what they say because I realised my old ones were shit when they said LET IT GROW THEN WE WILL REMOVE IT
like nah. Not happening.
okay, that feels less ambiguous now. I would crash out if I was the interpreter though LMAO
do benign tumors also grow?
not really, every 'and' relates to the nearest operator/closing out the operation
i see
Whaaat
So it wont kill me itβs just an inconvenience
the quadratic one is kind of ambiguous though
Iβm sorry
especially the "sum or difference" part
Tumor is more than a skill issue
best to remove it
Mehhh itβs tolerable itβs just an inconvenience atp
well the quad formula is (-b Β± sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a
does it hurt at the point of growth?
I would probably say something like ""minus b (plus or minus) square root of (square of b minus product of 4, a and c)" divided by 2a"
Ya exactly so Iβm gonna direct this new doctor around
It doesnβt surprisingly
But here comes your kind ping @austere sinew
Just feel the side effects
ah
yeah but the plus or minus part can be interpreted in three different ways
I came back to at least 10 pings
And I was laughing my ass off
hopefully it gets removed soon
Ya fr this is annoying
do tumors also require chemo?

Not all
Not necessarily
yeah those kinds of doctors end up killing you lmao
def a good idea to go to another
There are several ways for them to deal with them
well you can pass it off to the interpeter twice, once for addition, once for subtraction
would your case require chemo
Nah
not sure the 3rd way it's interpreted though
Hi youβre paint
or predefine quadratic formula, then provide values of a, b, c although that feels like a lot lol
esp for a latex wrapper
Why the heck Iβm awake itβs 7:44
this is also possible
