I was doing the C# module
why do games feel so boring nowadays
im completely bored of even story based games
this is how life works
unfortunately
Play for the graphics
I can't play videogames anymore either
I just don't find enjoyment
like when I was a kid
Sometimes I play assassins creed but usually I just run my VMs
cause youre a linux user
you find joy in suffering
I don't
hi guys what do think about tool name robin ?
dark web OSINT tool?
yes
hmmm wouldnt rely on it
you finally changed your banner
no my nitro expired
sad
that one looks decent, too
it's the new shit
does AI ml LLM red teaming has a future in Bug bounty ?
i hope AI has no future in cybersec at all
you have a unsloth
I think it has the same potential as applied to other fields.. it can assist and accelerate, but should not be fully trusted, and still regardless of how far models have come hallucinate, badly.
β
I gave deepseek shell access and root, and then started to bully it 
i meant like pentesting the actual LLM or ML model
did it hack for you?
Oh, so prompt injection, jailbreaking, etc?
exactly
Then yes, definitely
How long lived that future will be, I'm not sure, but I don't think this big "AI bubble" is popping any time soon.
Great then i'll for sure invest my time in that
"Electronic MAIL?! That'll never catch on"
who ever says AI bubble will be popping soon is clueless
maybe the LLM's yes
and chatbots
There are academy modules about AI
but AI ??? never
yes i'm studying it , i have a good background in AI
lm studio decided to ask the OS for 1.4 terabytes of memory 
Download more
....
Saudi arabia just invested a trillion dollars
more fields for cybersecurity huraaay
Hah π
I keep resisting the urge to hit up some of those new "affordable" AI focused small form factor machines
..but I think I've finally convinced myself I wouldn't use it enough to warrant the cost
the nvidia ones ?
Like that nvidia spark, or just building up a rig with one of those unified memory AMD chips
what's next quantum pentesting ?
HTB has a track on quantum exploitation
I don't know enough, but I know enough to be tempted.. besides, if I get the urge to do more than I am already elsewhere, I'll just ask to abuse our AI cluster instead I guess lol
so thats already there
qubit jail break
π bro
framework seems the best deal at this moment, but even it will cost you 2-3k depending on the memory amount
Welcome to 2025
yeah and the memory market isn't doing good ....
The problem is we are almost at 2026
Is that with the Ryzen 365/395 I assume?
not sure
I do kinda like the idea of stacking two of those Sparks for 256gb to be more comforable with larger models, but again.. unless I go full in on that subject, would be a low efficiency heater in the server cupboard lol
Or remortgage and get some A40s?
I believe is better to understand linux before getting into quantum computing
π€£
ok
i think some companies are too focused on AI and they are forgetting energy and cooling
i have done linux fundamentals module
But honestly idk
so decent understanding
Still can't install a single distro
if they actually create new solutions for cooling and energy they will be making much more money than the AI companies
cause i hate linux as a daily driver
simple as that
spark has low memory bandwidth so it suffers with larger models
bro adds a hundred emojis to try and prove his point
I just add it for fun
Im not telling you to do anything
I use quantum btw
Im just pinching
Pinch punch, temple for a month
is quantum computing ever going to be practical though
The documentary is so sad re temple
Take in consideration that he is member of my team in htb
define practical. quantum computers run quantum algorithms only.
I just like to argue what way is up
I don't think we are speaking of the same temple
Yeah lol, mb
practical as being able to factor real world rsa keys with shor's algorithm
I have that one pending
Some day I will be able to say
I use templeOs btw
Hahahah
The documentary is enough tbh
I AM DEBUGGIN MY FUCKING COMPILER
lol, don't put yourself through it for reals
but they already do a lot of stuff, especially for medicine research
And then hang up to someone
Hello!
Yeah ive seen it
i kinda need some help. Im doing a packet tracer exercise and i dont know if the exercise is badly designed or am i missing something
using quantum annealing you mean?
not htb but
That's a phone call that Terry had while streaming @eternal mango
we need templeos with grok as the builtin oracle
get that VC money
would have been cool to get his take on generative ai
Lets see whats general lets see whats up
I play temple run
That is a despicable way to bastardize your free time
@supple plume how's void?
Bad
I didn't start with that I got overwhelmed with other stuff
I just stopped
Tomorrow is probably the day
But I also have holiday Monday
sorry im just now rolling out of bed
dawg we're cooking with burpc2
nice
@zealous charm have you tested in HTB labs?
thats what I would do if I had an experimental c2
command 2 control
Anyone here work with Datto
I need to automatize everything
EVERYTHING
I wish I could automatize absolutely everything
If you get that script to work I will be happy to buy a sample
What would be on your list to automate first?
lets graduate it to C4ISR
Human interactions
The tedious ones
Just by that my life would be automatically worth to be lived
When I go through academy I'll add a feature to my hacking tool to automate every specific attack vector
Only if I make it fun I can go through it
Otherwise academy is a prison sentence where I never come out with knowledge
Bro I can relate
BRO
THAT LOOKS like the best cookies
I have ever seen
Its tryly the little things in life
That we forget to enjoy
Sorry about that
Those are dog treats
Best looking dogs
Thanks @supple plume
that looks like a wolf which i believe you need a permit to own in most states
You've never seen a wolf I'm afraid
Thatβs a border collie lol
I thought it was a bear
Hereβs a camel
Nice scorpion
Thatβs a fish
My bad
Hm. Must be a new American wolf breed
regardless you perhaps should look into getting a permit for owning a pet above 5lb or 60 oz
It has to be a wolf I'm afraid
Thatβs not a camel thatβs a wolf
Iβm not American
Vro start requesting permits for your american fish
You are now I'm afraid
My bad sire
You certainly fooled me
Iβm from the land of chocolates and taxes
is it normal here to mention THM or I can get bandπ₯Ί
As long as itβs relevant and not just to trash THM, youβll most likely be fine
Htb is not thm you can speak in the chat
nice
this is what I think about thm, but changing the windows logo by the thm one and the trash for a bigger trash
I never got pass creating an account I tried 3 times
why
3 times
It just kept telling me to pay for something I still don't know if it's good or not
wow is it because really hard?
Idk
hmm.. I just like the free lab you know
I think it is just bad design

Maybe there is something good about it but I don't care
Htb is good enough
For me
wait why this role still silver
but holo
im jealous pink good









@thick forge
Neeeeetro
π
guys does anyone know when will this coupon on 50% OFF annual VIP+ subscriptions on HTB Labs from neurogrid ctf will expire?
hello
I'd recommend hitting up support tbh, you're not generally going to find billing support in Discord, sorry
I'd help, but I do not have access in that system any more π
1 year is a standard time for expiration though in the past IIRC
i couldnt find the support mail, can you tell me what is it?
But don't hold me to that
You'll likely need to raise a ticket, a response will probably come in the coming week
ok thanks
Hello everyone πββοΈ. I just finished a lesson on organization in the setting up module of the Information Security path. I was abit confused with the notes on Logging at the latter part of the lesson. I'm I to make those changes in the VM instance. Also do I need to download some of the tools recommended seeing how I'm just starting the lessons as a beginner.
What's your question?
How do we feel about the new UI
Ngl there are some aspects that are really nice and other things I dislike
Do I need to implement the command provided in the VM instance in the browser?

ππ€¨
@terse dirge answer this question please
Hi all, I don't see a channel for introductions so I am not sure if it's customary to introduce yourself here. I'm a seasoned lead platform architect with over 30 years of experience based in Finland. I have always been interested in cybersecurity, especially, web app hacking, and in January 2024 I started hinting on bug bounty programs, in particular self hosted ones. I have been inactive for a few months now due to lack of time, but I plan on resuming at some point in Q1 after finish some big porjects at the day job. But I also want to polish my hacking skills, and learn new stuff, so I joined HTB tonight. I have heard often good praises about this platform, so I am looking forward to explore it. Who is a bug bounty hunter here? π
If the module says to do it in there then do it in there
We have top world best bounters here
Implement the command in the vm in the browser or not?
Hey everyone!
Nice, I am member in many hacking communities, so it's like I'll find other hunters here π
Idk the module
It never stated. It just gave the commands and it's use case
Yes they are everywhere too, I found them also in portswigger server
Welcome to htb
Then that answers your question
Thanks!
Here is where we brainrot
Welcome.
I am studying to be a bug bounty hunter πͺ next year
I gave myself a year
I seriously didn't understand anything from that part. The logging section to be precise
Nice! What's your background? I have a well paid job that I like, but my goal is to switch to full time hunting at some point.
I'm going to Colorado next month
Just a heads up, bug bounty isn't a sustainable income π
I've been making webapps for almost 6 years already
That channel is very quiet. I posted there and haven't gotten a reply
What is your job?
Patience young grasshoppa
Real
It is for people who are skilled enough to do it successfully. I made 80K in the first year, and that's part time. Some people I know have made millions from bug bounties.
π«‘π
Lot of shady miscommunication and downplay of some vulnerabilities found to by the company or a reported duplicate find
@exotic pendant is really good at bug bounty
And we have @zealous charm
At the day job I am lead platform architect for an event management company. I am responsible for all the technical aspects, from coding to infrastructure, and manage a team of developers
One of the best
How does bro have every cert except net +

lmaoo
Nice, than by now you should already have a robust foundation. Too many people think that hunting is a "get rich quick" scheme and try to cut corners by skipping the learning phase of web development, then complain that they can't find anything in a year or more. You are already ahead of those people π
Yup, I've been doing BB part time while working a full time job and this year will be the first time in 4 years I havent made more from BB than fulltime pentester role
Yes having experience in this field makes me feel like I can understand what is going on, but I still need to improve my skills to be able to do it professionally

Cool. Are you planning on doing it full time at some point or you prefer keeping your day job?
I think the sweet spot (at least for the US) is full time cyber job + part time bug bounty, so I will continue with that
If you put in the hours, you can do it. It's just a matter of being consistent and always keen to learn new things since this area is constantly evolving.
Quick question do $100 bounties exist. Like the beginner level ones
Thats big if true
Gotcha. I thought about switching to a pentester role, but given my current role, it would likely be a downgrade in terms of salary since I don't have previous experience as a pentester, only as a hunter. But also, I prefer the total freedom that BB would give me compared to a regular job, so that's why I'd like to do it full time.
You must be really good at bug bounty
I dabbled a bit in systems engineering. I made an automated soc workflow at a cyber range and I've set up kubernetes clusters π I'm really interested in malware development currently
Yes that is why I choose to study this for a full year, by the last quarter of 2026 I'll be trying bbh seriously
If you work all day tomorrow you can get a $100 bounty. Thats a single low/P4 bug. Things like rXSS pay more, generally $250+
Sure, even smaller if you work on some poor program. It also depends on the plaform. YesWeHack for example has the lowest average reward, much lower compared to HackerOne or Bugcrowd
It's the consistency that puts me off from doing bug bounty

Ive found plenty of xss where i just get ignored
You also have to be fairly lucky
Yeah, to account for benefits/PTO (no paid time off for BB)/retirement matching I figure I would need to make 1.5x my full time salary to make full time BB worthwhile
Nice. I also work with Kubernetes A LOT (our largest cluster is made of 3600 nodes)
I tried that and I failed. Maybe you can do that but I cant
Yeah that's probably the hardest part, together with the self discipline with managing the not stable income
Noted π«‘
Ignored? What do you mean?
Wow. I've only had to manage around 3 worker nodes and 3 control nodes lol. I set it up for CTFs because the old infrastructure for it was a single machine with docker
Like i msg website owner explaining the bug and they dont care
I'm using k0s for it because k3s keeps breaking lmao
I don't believe in luck with these things. What pays off is hard work, consistency and A LOT of patience
That's nice. Thanks for the info I'll look it up
Well, it's a start π We have some quite large infrastructure, which I like
I even did an internal pentest once and got stiffed 3k
If you found XSS on random web apps and contacted the companies hoping for a reward, that's the wrong approach. Do not do that. Never ever test any apps owned by companies who haven't given you explicit permission to do so. Use a proper bug bounty platform like HackerOne or similar
Interesting. k3s is much better than k0s IMO when it comes to lightweight Kubernetes flavours
the end goal is 6 worker nodes which is overkill at the cyber range but it's the point so we don't run into scaling issues later on
Not everyone uses hackerone and its already very saturated with thirdies. I usually look for fortune 500 companies that have private programs
Is this for work or hobby?
@livid vine which platform do u think is optimum for a newbie in BBH
I'm unemployed, I volunteer at a cyber range and do sysadmin stuff there
Dang man this economy sucks
Keep in mind that the vast majority of people who sign up on HackerOne have nowhere near the skill level requrired to be successful with BB. So the competiion is not as big as you might think. Having said that, I have worked mostly on self hosted programs thanks to my large work network of connections
Well, it is reassuring to hear someone say that.
Plus dont limit yourself to just H1/BC, there are at least 8 active platforms to choose from
If you asked me some time ago, I would have probably suggested YesWeHack, but that's no longer the case. YesWeHack may have smaller perceived competition since it's a small platform, but the bounties are crap in most cases. I'd recommend going straight with the bigger platforms. They have more programs to chose from, and higher bounties in general.
Gotcha π
@terse dirge if i remember youre in seattle right?
yeah don't make the mistake to think that the millions of people who are registered on those platforms are all skilled hackers π
Arizona
Dang the people at my local defcon meetup dont have jobs either
Oh okay thank you
I kind of want to start my own pentest company but i know i dont have enough engagement xp or a network to pull it off
So i volunteer doing ctf coaching at my uni
BTW I don't have direct experience with HackerOne yet, as I have mostly worked on self hosted programs. However I have many friends who work on H1 and to be honest it's a much better platform overall
Have you been employed as a pentester before?
I've considered this too, but its a bit daunting to consider you'd have to sell 15-20 $10k pentest per year just to get the same paycheck as a pentester salary
Good to know π«‘
What do you mean when you talk about "self hosted programs".
I used to do vuln research at a startup and we did a handful of pentests but it didnt really go anywhere
And we all know that the hacking is the easy part of starting a pentest company, it sales/legal/etc. that is difficult
As i mentioned before people stiffed us
It depends on the client. I do pentests occasionally, and the lowest amount I've charged was 8K, with the highest being 40K. It was not just me though, I collaborated with others who had more experience in some areas like mobile
Yeah, however you want to price the engagements, I was just using 150k as a full time salary equivalency
Often companies prefer running BB programs by themselves rather than using a platform like HackerOne. Often these are large companies. I have the fortune of having a large network of contacts so I have had the opportunity of being one of the first people to hunt on some of these programs when they started, which meant I found more bugs more easily compared to platforms. But it's not easy to find these programs or get access to them.
I don't think it makes much sense to start a pentesting company if you don't have extensive pentesting experience working for other companies.
You are right
Gotcha.
Pretty sure those kinds are for experts like yourself
I'm trying to get hired at a pentest company rn
Not necessarily. Also keep in mind that more experienced hackers tend to focus on higher severity bugs, so they often ignore low hanging fruit, leaving it to less experienced people who might be just starting out. π
I have an oscp working through crto rn
That's the best thing to do if your goal is to set up your own pentesting company at some point in the future.
That's a solid cert. I did the OSWA and OSWE a few years ago because I am mostly interested in web apps.
Well, given that I have been building web based systems for 30 years π
So it was a natural choice
I eventually want to do red teaming, i just feel like i have to do something to stand out because it seems like everyone i talk to is jobless and talking about how much everything sucks
Yeah exactly that is why I am looking for platforms with low hanging fruits so I can start there and get an overview of the field. Even if the payout is $50. Converting it to my currency is a lot of money
I talked to a rep from specter ops who told me that I should do crto2
So thats my goal rn. Will finish cdsa and other offsec certs when i have the means but im tired of doing all of this out of pocket
Just one thing: do NOT hunt on VDPs please. 1) you would be working for free, 2) VDPs accept any sort of garbage, even not real bugs, since they don't have to pay for them. This can give you wrong expectations on how real BB programs work and what they might accept and reward you for.
If you don't mind me asking.
What's VDPS

Vulnerability disclosure programs
Got it
Vulnerability Disclosure Programs. They expect you to find bugs to them respoinsibly but there is no monetary reward. Some companies might give you a gift or some swag and that's it. Ignore them. Don't waste your time on them.
You're saying that private programs are a bad idea?
Who said that? Sorry not sure who you're referring to
mornin fellas
Oh sorry, bad timing.I understand what you mean now
mhm tech job market is in a bad place at the moment and might get worse depending on nvidia bubble
How do u tell if it's a VDP
Private programs are awesome. VDPs are a different thing
BB platforms indicate quite clearly which programs are VDP and which ones are BB and offer monetary rewards
I should buy champaign and open it when the AI bubble pops 
deadass would be one of the best days in tech history, fuck them clankers
Okay. Would make sure to note your advice for when I start BBH
Organoid claws typed this post
Even when the dotcom bubble popped we didnβt get rid of .com domains. When the AI bubble pops those tools will still very much be part of our daily workflows
Thank you very much for your help. You've answered lots of questions I had concerning BBH π«‘π
Any time!
Goodnight fam π
well.. I get what you mean but it would not be good for getting a job because it could crash the economy for a while
'night
wsp guys im newww
like there's any tech jobs anyways other than clanker slop quality control
yeah sure AI will remain whatever happens but it won't be crazy overvalued like it is now, people will move on
At least with ai people will outsource code less
You can see whats happening now as a contraction of a massively overextended industry
At the end only gigabrains will remain
yall think ai will really get big? like a must in our lifes for the future?
Yes
https://nof1.ai/ this is really putting all that bs to test, last round all bots lost money
hmm, personally im not sure abt that like kinda 50/50 cause like I use it for some school stuff AHEM HOMEWORK but for the rest not really use it that much but ofc in the future new things will come so maybe ai is an must for that


i was just doing that 3 min ago!!
@native plume 
Lol
why tf are u 2 shadow?
are u 2x better than me?
XD

Holy shit do people actually use my site
the shado shadow xD
I wanted to do the shadow but it was already taken so I just did the shadow's shadow
wanted to have the name from this dude:
oh
cant send a pic
YUP
okay that made me laugh
i am not sure who is the true shadow now
can i priv dm you?

you too
me what
priv dm
i have a question
why can't you ask your question here?
oh
or questionS
sthats also possible
i am thinking the same xD
so next year ima start my study: softwaredeveloper/cybersecurity and what are things i really need to know to be some stepsahead or already should learn for

ceald your cat is aggresive with other people ?
cause my cat attacks today again my neighbor xD
no, he's a bit skittish around new people
ohh
make sense
my cat too
but i am thinking to castrate him
because is very agresive with new people
is territorial i think is called
literraly my cat think is the owner of my neighbord land xd
lol
i was thinking to buy some gps with some ultra sonic sounds or something like that
and draw a range of my lands
is he an outdoor cat or inside cat?
agression decreases when castrated?
in theory yes
I thought castration was just for yk
I would definitely get him fixed then.
you know
so is time to castrate him

he also attack me 1 time
π³
cats tend to be jerks with other animals by trying to kill things like birds or small animals for the hell of it is my understanding.
and today he try to attack me again when i go to my neighbour house
my cat kill a lot of animals
Yes
did your cat ever brought a bird proudly to you?
is very crazy cat, is orange and some days ago he wanna start a fight with a horse
xD
i hope the castration works well
no because he's too fat and slow to get a bird and when he's outside he's supervised
because i dont wanna keep the cat in my home all the time
This means your cat thinks you are a bad cat, and thinks you can't fend for yourself
I want an mexican orange cat so I can dress him as puss in boots
el gato con botas
you can try to walk your cat if you want to keep him indoors but give him outside time
is orange
Ah, you may have bigger fry to fish
so my neighbours cat thinks im weak...
YEAHH
yes that is what i planned to do now
Taking your indoor cat for a walk can add new experiences to her life, as well as give her a work out to keep her fit and healthy. Taking her for a walk is also a fun way to exercise yourself too. This article will tell you how to do it...
I thought the meaning of a cat bringing a bird is that they love you and wants to give a gift since you care for them
but i just learned they think your weak and is nothing compared to them
cheeto caught a lizard inside once
Correct. Cats see us as weird large cats. Also fun fact, their meowing that you hear is actually specifically designed for humans
i not understand what do you mean xd
dang
They think you're deaf, so they vocalize in a way they think youll understand
Well well well
Orange cats is dumb
but what about our way of speech like we say words do they interpert (sorry idk how to type that) that as an meow we cant pronounce cause we are deaf?
can confirm, cheeto is not the brightest
i gonna try this, tomorrow i gonna buy some of that things, my sister buy one but dont works because maybe are for dogs xd
he's not a brigth crayon or a crayon because he ate all of the crayons
hi guys
Also sorry, I intentionally switched words in the idiom. Its usually "bigger fish to fry" meaning more problems than whats in front of you
a bird joined
ohh make sense
Well, specifically they think we're hard of hearing. This is why they can be so vocal when wanting attention, then quiet when going ambush mode
some time are funny xD
aaah
do yall love bald cats?
All cats are silly, sphinx cats are great
Especially if you have an allergy to dander
I really wanna get a mainecoon
Fun fact, if you raise chickens and cats together you get eggs that help you not be allergic to cat dander
Who wants to talk about cloud security
"Late" maybe for you
whut, it 9am rn@@
Welp
*w me
ill take a coldbrew btw:D
monsterr

working on kubernetes right now
I heard the kubernetes certs are hard
I'm too broke for certs tbh
and I think certs are a bit overrated
2 nodes left to set up
in the 99% of the cases the employer just need to get the job done, they dont care if someone have the cert or not
Can I just, like... Post my sketch of a my little pony here? Just because? 
ya but I'd rather invest my time into projects that demonstrate I can do independent research other than reading a book or doing a course to understand something
I think being able to be self taught or being able to be self sustainable in cyber is better than any sort of certifications because it shows you can hold your own better than someone who can read a book and pass a multiple choice test or do a course and be able to pass a test that goes over only what was in the course
also I enjoy figuring out topics/technologies on my own because its less boring than reading a book or doing a course
In another thread, it was said that it does not expire
tldr: I enjoy the lack of structure and learning things on my own instead of reading a book or doing a course
If you start from scratch with no experience administering clusters, they can be indeed
Takes a special kind of stubborn learning that way sometimes, but the feeling of reward.. I learned the same way, out of lack of decent coverage of the subject at the time.. Hands on, research heavy, making mistakes and challenging yourself to persist to overcome them
Fun fun fun
can I pet your gopher
π₯Ί
My Gopher?
omg you are staff
@eternal mango i bought a new coffee machine 
Not ANOTHER one!
π€£
i luv ur Capybara pfp frame man
i will sell the current one
wtf have I got a Capybara on my pfp π€£
that's cute ngl
I don't remember setting that, but fair enough, I'll roll with it
mb @feral jackal, yes you may pet it
but it's a cappy π€£
Seriously how long has that been there
why im still banana, it worst tbh
cat gang 
When it arriving?
Monday π
Ohhh it's from that discord checkpoint thing
Thats way too long a wait 
yes
I wish we knew what the matched avatar border characters meant
if i would that earlier, i would paid 9 euro more fore express shipping
Istg if they were random and not based on the checkpoint
oh.. I was doing the server side attacks module they talked about ssrf also about gopher service.. I don't know what that means but when I searched online found pics of something like that pet
It looks like it has its head cut off.. but it just has a flat skull it seems
Is a go framework for web, think nodejs but go
golang mentioned 
I can just imagine: sha1-hulud go version 
The only language where code is guaranteed to have more lines for exception handling than features
/s
hhmmmmmm
*ehem* rust
Hah
Use a Result type once and everywhere needs to handle it
I've been playing a bit with contracts recently in Rust
right now i have 18 in and 45 out
It's a weird ass language, and a different concept to what I'm used to
but it's fun
ffs
I don't handle every error in my go code tbh
Contracts? Like crypto contracts?
rust has solidity support??
how some people has the HTB mod in the bio but they don't look like they are mods
Yeah, specifically SOL instruction sets
Never thought to use Rust for that but seems like a good way to remove half the issues of SOL 
Real math library in SOL when?
I'm using Anchor for it as the framework
Ceald
Had to do some book research for Rust for someone, so it got me curious on the subject, as I've never touched Rust or contracts before
I like the uhh... I guess I'd describe it was "simplicity", but that's not the right word
because crypto dev is anything but
What I mean is that it restricts you to the very primitives when writing the instructions
Rust is interesting for sure, the hand holding naturally disappears as you learn to think like the compiler
I'm still crawling, but I have at least managed to deploy something basic on localnet lol
Time to bring back seadriscoin?
(if only I hadn't burnt it all)
I've never really written servers on it, just simple cli tools
ah no by localnet I mean the local solana test environment, so a local version of the chain
Im still thinking about how async is weird in rust.
Ohhh
cat pwning the today box π
There's a bunch of test chains that should be easy to get into with just a couple faucets no?
devnet is recommended, as local can be troublesome due to confirmation delay, but then the faucet on devnet has quite the rate limit
Pros and Cons both sides, local you can print as much as you want, devnet you have a faster confirmation time but are rate limited on the faucet
Idk my only real experience with crypto is a bunch of crypto challenges one time. I forgot what the site was even called
Or I was just doing it all wrong π€£
The memories of struggling to connect to a wallet using env files 
Not really well documented back then
I used to mess about much more with blockchain when Bitcoin first hopped up, but mostly from a research perspective, especially when those vanity wallets started to appear. One fun project was hunting for wallets on the chain on a local copy of the corpus, using uhhh.. I think there was somewhere that let you generate a wallet purely with a single word or phrase at the time
I never found any wallets with active balances, but the process of optimising it, hooking up between a few different languages where one was more efficient for a specific part of the whole task was great fun
It got down to how loops were structured in order to get the most efficiency / lowest instruction count per check
When you're operating with such a large dataset, every instruction matters π€£
Well yeah, this was some online wallet generator I think at the time that was popular because it was easy
..but that led to it being easy to search en-masse if people ACTUALLY USED a word or two for their seed
(which yes, they DID.. but others got to the wallets before I found them.. not that I would've raided them if I had gotten there first, this was all a "would this work?" exercise)
This was when it was like sub Β£50 per coin lol
This is why humans should never be given the freedom to secure their valuables with 1 word
I mean
You say that
but I'd prefer that my safe word be short
..if it's my valuables
..but if it's my SECRETS, that's another matter entirely
π
Ok, nn π
Nn, meanwhile me in the morning just starting work 
Good luck, may your day fly by
Thanks! I know it wont we got a lot of bookings
The moon is up
Because I am playing a risky game with my sleep schedule
If I dont spam the chat tomorrow just know
My new sleep plan didnt work

Can check yours with that π
The more complex the technology, the more satisfying it is to hack it

I wonder how good it feels to reverse engineer -- now thats gotta be the most complex
the more complex the system, the more room there is for vulnerabilities
and the more insecure it gets

Is 40$ dollars worth it for wifi monthly subscription and after 2 years Iβll start paying 60$ instead.
Who uses starlink. It sucks
Itβs very slow too
Itβs like 30 mbps or smth
So is it worth it? Thatβs what you are saying
@thick forge
im back
in my case, yes
i can play, stream, all the basic things works fine
and only with the mini kit
i was thinking to buy the kit more bigger but i think is not neccesary for now
and also works every part where i move, including in the car

the only bad thing is they dont support portforwarding
but all the others things works great
Samba
its 500mbps
in most areas
which is wayyy faster than traditional satellite internet

It isn't even commercially available here yet
And away we go! Weeeeeeeeee
i am top 0.23
I have a feeling that you are AI.
Skipping the ping check just helps for hosts that don't have ICMP echo requests enabled

@supple plume how's void Linux?
you're not alone
hihiii
Ceald, Gubarz π€£ I fed in a load of datapoints from public Discord checkpoint images, and got this..
Using nearby datapoints and fitting a simple power-law curve (which accurately matches how message totals scale with user percentiles), we can estimate percentiles for the new message counts. Around the 22kβ50k range, the curve shows that a user with 22,453 messages lands at roughly top 2.2% of all Discord users. In the lower range, using the datapoints around 3kβ10k messages, the same method shows that a user with 4,289 messages sits at about top 8.3%. These results match the pattern of your real datapoints closely and fall cleanly within the expected distribution.
oof, i checked my most popular servers and i'm not even an amature yapper.
Oh, that was only based upon messages here, so nowhere near accurate I guess
Idiot 
yeah i chat more in other servers

Today's goal for cybersecurity [07-12-2025]
1.Do 2-3 rooms from the exploitation basics section of Cyber security 101 Path
2.Start the Network foundation modules from the HTB and finish it
3.Complete the File permission section from the Linux course which I have been avoiding for too long.
4.Practice some linux commands which I have learned by doing 5-6 Levels in the OvertheWire bandit.
Lol
social skills for the most part
there's no one best skill for red teaming though
as each skill plays different roles in an engagement
Just daily drive Linux instead of bandit
Caeld be nice
And donβt promote your Twitter here
What twitter?
x
No one calls it that
am i crazy or is the answer not The Internet
What is the largest Wide Area Network (WAN) that connects millions of Local Area Networks (LANs) globally?
crazy?
No one says HEY LETS GO ON X
I said it
a rubber room
Fuck off
lmao
Thanks for that,I do infact I use linux for all my studying cybersecurity like I do THM rooms on linux, watch course videos in linux most of the time I am in my VM rather than the host OS
The answer is internet
ooh
ty
Yeah
why not just install it on your host then instead of using a vm?
anytime buddy
@heady sage check out my new rice twin
I have to do some work on the microsoft products sometimes for my uni project, that's why the linux is in the VM but soon will be the main os
Exceptional work old chum
That's understandable.
Yeah
For stuff like Ms office I would just use whatever is in the web UI. I'm too lazy to get it working with wine tbh
"now let's see Gubarz's rice"
I has none :<

What's that application select thing
Rofi?
Fuzzel
Yeah I too sometimes use the web version of the products, also the thing is I don't know how to use the linux properly yet, that's why I have two linux one with the GUI one and one without it so I most of the time spend on the GUI One learning the linux and practice those commands on the CLI linux where I only have the terminal
we don't use arch btw
I just did a full day of synack
Sup @next venture haven't seen you in forever
What distros of Linux are you using?
Any reason for fizzel over rofi?
grinding for OSCP π
Hear that @terse dirge this is what a winner looks like?
I don't use arch btw
I use void

lie.
Real
It says so in my fastfetch 

Kali linux, I didn't use the mint or ubuntu one I always had in mind to not switch linux distro that's why I started with kali
Too cool and elite for arch now 
Nice. Kali isn't a bad start, if you do plan on making Linux your host os then try something like Manjaro, you'll get the support of arch but a bit of stability and a more user friendly environment
With things like pamac
I also did Linux from scratch
Thanks for that buddy I will surely look Manjaro once, I am way too comfortable with the Debian based distro hhhhh
I mean the only real difference is the package managers.
Arch also has a more up to date kernel with rust hacking enabled
Yeah you are right the most difference is about the package managers and support which differentiate these distros
Some have a different init system entirely, void uses runit instead of systemd
Oh nice I didn't know that, I have seen many people who choose mostly between the kali or the arch both have the same amount of the users, I have tried installing arch with their installing package it was nice experience
don't know much about that only got to know these things from the LFS101 course on the linux foudation
Once you get a bit better with Linux, try installing it without the installer script.
I would try to avoid courses entirely for Linux. You really learn it by using it
yeah this thing is in my mind to test my linux thing once I get a little bit more better with linux
Yeah but we need something to start with, Any amount of course can't teach everything about linux but it can give a good start to know about the things , and learning it by using it makes the learning process a bit challenging and that is time we get to learn more about the things even from the course material
But I atleast want to start with that's why I started the LFS101 and a course on the udemy
I just woke up, I will ping you when I have it running
Go to sleep
Waking up at 8am sounds like heaven
I mean it's sunday
I usually wake up at 6
Kids donβt care about Sunday
They will wake you up when they want to 
Sounds like you need a hug
I must say, today both kids slept until 7:30. so my body was like βhey nobody is awake yet, itβs 6 get the fuck up you lazy manβ
Hahah
Ptsd kinda alarma
Wake up before no one wakes you up
But when do you wake up usually
Usually at 6
Ouch. Torture
I wake up at 4 pm
I forgot to buy and I only go to town once a week
There is no bus on sunday
So Im stuck
Ask your neighbour
Hack their WiFi, then their devices, put a bsod with the message SEND COFFEE OR NO PC
Call me if you lonely
Migesh
Ransomwere for coffee
Ill just buy tomorrow
Like 2 boxes
Are you still in Spain?
I need 4 coffees a day at least
So you start tomorrow with -4 coffee deficiency
I am already doing that for this whole week
No pills no coffee
I have done almost nothing
But thanks to windsurf I got the job done
Do you vibe code?
I donβt vibe code
I thought it was useless
Now I know it is almost useless
But is in that almost where it does some things
I sometimes ask it how it would do some stuff in my project, but it doesnβt code for me. Junie has a βaskβ mode and itβll give some recommendation or answer your questions
But most of the times it just talks shit and gives 50 lines of code for something that really needs 4
I donβt think AI is gonna steal my job soon
It won't any soon
It is garbage
I don't ask it things
I say "make an endpoint that receives an ajax request, validates x and returns y"
And I fix 10% the code
This is the best case scenario
Otherwise it spits a lot of garbage code and I have to rollback with git
lol yeah
This after an epic fight arguing back and forth
Yesterday I say the though process while doing that it said:
β« IQ β¬
"The USER asked me to just do it but at this point I feel like I am just diminishing the tokens of the USER. I think the best curse of action is to provide the USER with a summary of what was done earlier"

You wanted this emoji so bad
@lofty warren
@1pwn
@mystic harbor TU FOOTPATH PE MIL
That's what I do 


Pendejo
That is mexican
Culo
@supple plume @warped plank I'm black, same game π
this was yesterday at like 3:30 AM 
Nice
Both attacking the queen
Unless white plays Qd1
booooooring

Right
yep
Well played
thx π
Says the one that doesn't play chess
tbh, I didn't even see I can go to C2 with my knight afterward, forgot my light square bishop was there
LOL
What did you do then
oh, I see saw it afterward, so I made the move
just I didn't see when I made the knight sac
I was thinking, "huh, since they can't take my knight, I guess it can be a cool brilliant move" 
Hahah
Sliver C2
Happens to me too sometimes
different C2 
Burp C2 

Homebrewer invented it
Sliver?
BurpC2
Uh
You play b0blox
i liked chess until I was 10 and found out chess is just memorizing move patterns not strategizing in real time
That means you didn't learn a single thing about chess
Nice
π
Then why the best player is an AI engine and not a database?
Three bags of bullshit
knight b4 to c2 wouldve been such a fire move here
I played that if I'm understanding correctly
did u win
yep
SICK
if I didn't win, I would have been SOOOOOO mad lol
not me, gotta do school work
Hahah
lol
