[eternal mango]

You are a complete jackass

[worldly gazelle]

[eternal mango]

Blocked, going for bubbles

[worldly gazelle]

[supple plume]

I'm going to shower with a hose and cold water on the windy weather

[molten bobcat]

We're digressing

[meager kernel]

I will digress into my bed

And digress into sleep

[molten bobcat]

I digest actually

[eternal mango]

Ah crap my bath is about to digress

[molten bobcat]

I had a granola bar

[meager kernel]

Oh so you're one of the people who digest instead of digress

[molten bobcat]

I'm hungry what do you want from me

[green kite]

You’ll need a few less bubbles now

[meager kernel]

To digress

[eternal mango]

More.

Morrrre bubbles

[meager kernel]

I feel like an English gentleman now

[green kite]

Is there any other problem I can get rid of?

[molten bobcat]

The goal is to obscure The Hog

I am hungry so why be alone

[green kite]

My back hurts too much to get up

[ionic moth]

HI

Hi

[green kite]

Hello @ionic moth

[eternal mango]

Not sure I understand tbh. If regarding the integration for a badge, that integration broke a long time ago

[ionic moth]

@green kite @mystic harbor @heady sage @eternal mango I need help please

[eternal mango]

No intentional distancing

[ionic moth]

Why are you deleting my message

[green kite]

That sounded like it didn’t belong here but in #modules

[ionic moth]

Ok. But can you help me

[green kite]

No, I’m sorry

[ionic moth]

Dude

[green kite]

I’m not at my computer

[mystic harbor]

[eternal mango]

Frost would recommend pizza

[mystic harbor]

he just sends me sause

[heady sage]

Oh I mean the path name change

[eternal mango]

Not something I was involved in, so the most I can say is that the reasoning is outlined in the blog post https://academy.hackthebox.com/news/the-transition-from-htb-cbbh-to-htb-cwes-has-officially-started

[static pasture]

You cant really go wrong with pizza

[green kite]

Correct

Unless….

Ive seen a topping

Nutella on pizza….

[heady sage]

So just to be clear I get access to everything if I already completed the path beforehand? What about the modules that were replaced? Do I still get access to them?

[static pasture]

Eh yea nutella on pizza is an oddity but I guess to each and everyones own

[green kite]

Seafood pizza 🤤

[static pasture]

🤷‍♂️

[green kite]

Yummmm

Sorry was in DMs.. let's try to sort out a little weekend session before the year is out

[exotic pendant]

😄

[eternal mango]

This weekend is no good for me, but will try to see about next

[supple plume]

Frossst would you recommend me a BB that could be good for a beginner? Not vdp tho

[exotic pendant]

DoD

[heady sage]

Cool you can join me and echo

[supple plume]

Omg that would be amazing

[heady sage]

DoD is a VDP

[exotic pendant]

https://hackerone.com/deptofdefense

[spring grail]

I have a question: Why the price of the certs appear different in the website than the one in the academy ? what is the correct one ?

[exotic pendant]

Why just bb

get practice and rep in

[heady sage]

Yeah

[supple plume]

@eternal mango would you join us this weekend?

[zealous charm]

I just gave away a bug on USDA today haha

Same asset we looked at

[eternal mango]

Literally just said this weekend no good for me 😅

[heady sage]

USDA is easy mode though

[eternal mango]

When I'm able next

I will

[heady sage]

You might as well hunt on NASA atp

[eternal mango]

USGS fixed an RCE pretty quick

[heady sage]

@eternal mango has at least 2 letters for NASA

[supple plume]

Ok cool

[zealous charm]

Most gov sites are easy mode for hacking

[exotic pendant]

DoD is also easy

plus its hard to miss the scope it's *.mil

easy to distinguish the sites and good for first timers

[heady sage]

If it is easy I wanna go ahead and do that for my hunt today after I study for CWEE

[eternal mango]

mmm.. I drifted from nasa to usgs by mistake without realising

but it was still in scope thankfully

[supple plume]

Do we do vdp or bb?

[eternal mango]

Stupid mistake though

[heady sage]

Let’s start you off on VDP to get your feet wet

Tons of bugs on VDPS

[supple plume]

Sounds good to me

[eternal mango]

Literally is one of the best places to practice in "real world" legally

[gray wraith]

Define easy

[eternal mango]

Practice tooling, enum, hands on

[heady sage]

Frosto is a vet though

So don’t get too discouraged

[eternal mango]

mmm

[gray wraith]

Ik, amazing skillset

[exotic pendant]

I posted a rant

frostb1te (@frostb1ten)

@Hacker0x01 What is up with this support? I've had multiple emails, support tickets, etc all just ignored. 14 VALID submissions all moved to NA because waiting on the VENDOR. WHY IS HACKBOT DEFAULT MOVE TO NA!!! I've been waiting since 2022 and it's been silence....

X · Dec 11, 2025, 9:44 PM

Besides I have a recon script that does most of the recon shit for me

[eternal mango]

Ahhh I recall

That's just not cricket

[exotic pendant]

14 NA tickets hurts

like WHY IS hackbot default NA

"Waiting on vendor" boom marked NA because VENDOR didnt get back in time

https://tenor.com/view/confused-no-nope-gif-5413974953753901704

[eternal mango]

I want to say a lot there

but I should probably think before I do

[exotic pendant]

Then when I contact, they straight ignore me

[terse dirge]

@exotic pendant https://hackerone.com/reports/3459636

[exotic pendant]

I love reading curl reports

yep i saw this one lol

Atleast his was moved NA because of bad code

mine is NA because Hackbot decided the vendor didnt reply in 30 days

[eternal mango]

Is that the one where they got blasted for "ai slop"?

[terse dirge]

no, different

[eternal mango]

aha ok

[supple plume]

That's what I was thinking

[exotic pendant]

I've seen like 5 AI slop ones on curl this month

[supple plume]

I tried vibe hacking

[heady sage]

You like ai slop written by ai slop security researchers

[supple plume]

Didn't do much

[eternal mango]

I tried to get a cURL CVE

But it was shot down

It was very niche, but imho a valid issue

But ok maybe not CVE worthy lol

https://github.com/curl/curl/commit/53cbea22310f1509e98f5537ef3a83c6e600629f

[exotic pendant]

I remember that one

[heady sage]

Jesus gobby I wasn’t familiar with your game

[eternal mango]

😅

I been around a while

But it was always a hobby

[exotic pendant]

You're gonna be on ElReg tomorrow

[eternal mango]

But are you really

[exotic pendant]

I wouldnt deny a free voucher

Maybe one day I'll pocket the voucher

[eternal mango]

Hehe maybe one day

[pearl spruce]

provisional acceptance take how many days after the submission usually?

[exotic pendant]

What's the most advance cert atm for htb

[pearl spruce]

forgot to say Hi, sorry lol

[eternal mango]

Submission for a machine / challenge?

[pearl spruce]

machine

[eternal mango]

It depends

There is no guarantee, and there's always a backlog

[pearl spruce]

like Hard one

[eternal mango]

The team will get to it as soon as they can

[spring grail]

???

[eternal mango]

What do you mean?

Do you have links to show us?

[exotic pendant]

1705 cubes, idk where i got them

hmm

[eternal mango]

Wasn't me

(seriously, wasn't me)

[spring grail]

Yes they are in the Official HTB Website

[eternal mango]

Ok, but do you have the links?

[exotic pendant]

I guess im closest to CWES?

[spring grail]

https://academy.hackthebox.com/preview/certifications

[spring grail]

The price is different from the ones in the academy ?

[eternal mango]

Do you have the other link please?

[pearl spruce]

Oh, I asked staff before about my submission and he said that it is still under review, wait more 2 weeks. So Idk if this means that it is in the queue or the team is checking it right now.

[pearl spruce]

you are doing it for fun surely

[eternal mango]

I can't say to be honest, but please do be patient

[spring grail]

These only these link

[eternal mango]

Appreciate you submitting content to HTB ❤️

[eternal mango]

But what am I to compare that price to?

[pearl spruce]

I'm sorry, I'm nervous because it is the first time to be confident about a submission

[pearl spruce]

Thank you, boss 🌹

[eternal mango]

Currently there is 25% off @spring grail

That is shown under the Academy billing section

But is not something shown on the page you shared

The current price is what you see under the Academy Billing section

https://academy.hackthebox.com/billing

[spring grail]

Di you have an account in the academy ? If yes just check the price in the certs section in your account and compare them to the ones tat are in the Official website

[eternal mango]

Please read what I said above 🙂

[spring grail]

You didn't understand me bro, For example the CAPE Cert cpsts 1200 dollar but in my htb account i see only 350 dollar ?!

[eternal mango]

That cost is the combined value of the subscription, plus the exam voucher

I think?

No nvm

That cost, for CAPE, as it requires Tier 3 modules is for the Gold Annual subscription

On the page you shared that's $1260

On the billing page, it's discounted https://academy.hackthebox.com/billing

You can see it states whihc exam vouchers each annual plan provides

Look under the Benefits section

To be covered for CAPE, you would require the Gold Annual to cover the Tier 3 Modules required to complete the path towards the CAPE exam

I hope that makes sense?

[spring grail]

Okay, I think i understand it, the difference is in the modules tierù

[pearl spruce]

maybe because of the season ranking.

[keen portal]

are you going to join the multitude of vendors and have an AI exam?

[exotic pendant]

i think i just had them for a few years

[exotic pendant]

oo

[eternal mango]

There's nothing I can say to be honest, it's not an aspect of the business I am involved with

AI is the current hot biscuit mind, and we have released some modules recently on the subject

..along with the recent AI CTF that we hosted

Who knows.. I reckon 2026 is going to be a fun year 😄

[supple plume]

Gn gng 🥱

[eternal mango]

If we do an AI Certification, I'll give that a crack for sure 🤣

[keen portal]

its going to be a wild year

[eternal mango]

I mean we already have 11 AI focused modules

Ranging from Tier 0 up to Tier 3

Damn that's cool

[pearl spruce]

Sure, but 2025 was too much for the brain to process.

[eternal mango]

mmmmhm

I'm happy to put 2025 behind me personally

But for HTB, very happy with how we've grown

[heady sage]

What the hell, im already not understanding xpath

[keen portal]

just wait til Pluralsight buys you

(don't ban me)

[eternal mango]

lol

Things could've gone very different

[pearl spruce]

Yeah sure, idk why but HTB growth looks rewarding for me as a user. Actually it have incredible quality compared to other platforms.

[eternal mango]

But HTB, the company, the community

It's insane

It's been over 8 years, but still doesn't seem real

To me personally I mean

[native plume]

What are you not understanding about them?

[high lynx]

HTB is just plain awesome, from 12 to 15 years old i was into the scene (as a newbie would be) and I rediscovered all this at 30.

Sooooo many certs, sooo many videos of do this do that.

Was looking for something practical where I could learn by doing, found HTB, never looked back

[eternal mango]

Thank you for the kind words, they really do mean a lot

[heady sage]

I don’t understand how the context node works and how I find it

[eternal mango]

Would've loved to have had HTB when I was learning 🤣

Uhhh xpath, like, querying elements, like in the DOM / XML?

Love you guys, thanks for doing this.

On that note Academy time haha, have a good evening guys

[pearl spruce]

I remember myself before 4 years, entering HTB and thinking that it is a hacked server or some dangerous platform. 🥀

[eternal mango]

Wanna hit me up in DM with the doc you're querying, and what you want to get out of it?

[eternal mango]

Hah, understandable, and a common misconception about "hackers"

This is a safe space, and majority aim to help secure systems

[austere sinew]

The minority 😈

[native plume]

If you want you can practice XPATH selectors with XML docs in browser too (also html works)
Maybe let AI generate an example XML file for you, open that in browser, open dev tools and inspect element, you can copy the XPATH for any DOM element you can see
Also try to manipulate the XPATH in order to experiment

[austere sinew]

Servers like owlsec make me laugh my booty off because why do they make you type if you’re a “black hat”

Why is that even a role

[pearl spruce]

yeah I was so new, it was actually the wrong starting point for a newbie don't know even what the network is.

[heady sage]

Huh. I think I’ll take you up on that

[eternal mango]

Oh I see

I'm not good enough

I get it

[native plume]

Also you might want to define this function while experimenting with XPATH if you want to use JS for practice

Honestly quite an interesting question

Why is rice small, from a biochemical perspective?

what equation better models the maximum size of rice given a set of constraints

and can bigger rice be engineered?

Asking the serious questions here

[livid vine]

Can you guys share how you came up with the idea for your username? I'll start: in the Transformers universe, Sky Lynx is a character from the Generation 1 continuity family, portrayed as a highly skilled and boastful Autobot Lieutenant Commander. He is also a character in the Prime continuity, where he is a Predacon and former Decepticon, and later allied with the Autobots during the Unicron storyline.

[heady sage]

I like Darth Vader and his transformation into something else, a metamorphosis into evil due to his own mistakes was fascinating to me

I think it represents me metamorphosizizng into a better hacker into something that is more powerful than I could possibly imagine

[livid vine]

Nice, I like the idea 🙂

[eternal mango]

Soooo... anyone done their xmas shopping yet?

...or more to the point, has anyone else NOT done their xmas shopping yet?

[molten bobcat]

I have my partners gifts decided

I need to get gifts for his parents, sister, her wife

[eternal mango]

Daughter decided today she wants monkey bars

[molten bobcat]

Hmm..

[eternal mango]

I'm not sure that's how it worked when I was a kid

but ok

[molten bobcat]

One trip to the park it is

[eternal mango]

Hahah

Tempting

[balmy basalt]

I got most of it sorted I think. Just a couple things left to figure out and acquire.

[eternal mango]

I mean

Could you just, like.. lie instead?

And sayou haven't got anything

Join the 48hr shopping club

Nah I got plans

Just gotta actually get them

Tomorrow.. that's the day

[molten bobcat]

Same

I'm not gonna be able to hide what I get him because we share finances kek

[eternal mango]

My brothers eldest wants a computer, so I can just clean up my old one and gift that apparently

Brothers wife likes bees, so that's easy

[molten bobcat]

Easy

[eternal mango]

He wants an xbox giftcard

My twin is in Canada with his wife, but she likes bees and he likes cognac

Dad usually gets some port and chocolates, but maybe not an option after cancer recent

[balmy basalt]

Cash go brrr...

[eternal mango]

I don't even know where I'm going on xmas atm

and honestly don't really care

So long as I see the little one at some point

Damn it I used to love xmas

[heady sage]

Xpath is hard yall

[eternal mango]

Heeehehe

Ohh man

[molten bobcat]

Online shopping

[heady sage]

Weaponizing it is even harder because you have to literally be very specific in what you’re exfiltrating

[eternal mango]

Regex negative lookaheads and backreferences

Well I mean

beautifulsoup3

That is your swiss army knife for querying the DOM

[balmy basalt]

Cash -> Gift card -> Profit (Or well not profit since you spent money but you get the point.)

[eternal mango]

But understanding xpath is valuable

[molten bobcat]

Seems like a pain just to obfuscate but hmmm

[eternal mango]

beautifulsoup3 lets you query the dom just like you would in a CSS or select query

[balmy basalt]

It is a bit of a pain true. Could be fun to have a surprise for Christmas though.

[molten bobcat]

I actually do have a checking account he can't see

[eternal mango]

xpath is mostly for XML (ok HTML is XML more or less), but is still a widely used standard

[molten bobcat]

It's just leftover from when our finances weren't joined

But I have card for it

Crouching tiger, hidden Christmas

[eternal mango]

If anyone asks you to work with an xmlrpc api integration

[eternal mango]

Now I'm having flashbacks coming to terms with the fact that the LDAP service provided by Google is not ANYTHING LIKE LDAP

It's like.. ldap after it was left in a garage with a harem of mice for a year

Kinda works, but needs help

..and in some places just is NOT ldap, nowhere near

[balmy basalt]

I didn't know Google provided an "LDAP" service. That sounds... horrific.

[eternal mango]

Yup, "Secure LDAP Service", hooks up to your gsuite directory

...maybe 30%

foxpass.com provide a nice middleware service to "translate" it to an actual queryable and valid service for auth and group syncing

[balmy basalt]

Somehow I have the feeling it is used extensively in some entities.

[eternal mango]

I'm not sure how

Some core functionalities are literally not.. functional

[balmy basalt]

And google didn't just buy them?

[eternal mango]

Well I mean that was like 3 or 4 years ago when I last messed with it hands on

Wait what?

Google bought Foxpass?

Hm redirecting to "splashtop"

Whoever they are..

[balmy basalt]

No idea. But it seems like the thing to do. Maybe I am just too busy thinking about actually improving the product.

[eternal mango]

It's a real shame

Google would've pulled bank if their LDAP service was properly functional

I mean it may well be now

[balmy basalt]

I doubt they have been dumping money into it. Gemini and ads have probably been getting the lion's share.

[eternal mango]

I mean it's a good move imho.. lift and shift from directories in azure

but I doubt it's been a focus

I mean it's not a full directory

Basic grouping and rights management it seemed to work ok when we used it at least

Hmmm

"Frontline Standard".. "Frontline Plus".. what are these

Am I a dog with fleas?

The crypto geeks had great fun with this little trouble

[balmy basalt]

They usually do.

[eternal mango]

TripleDES between Perl, PHP and ColdFusion just didn't match up, AT ALL

Even though they followed a "standard"

God that was a pain in the arse

Nobody should ever have to suffer ColdFusion

It's strange being able to so quickly parse Linux process history

All the stupid work I've done against Linux boxes works for something I guess lol

[eternal mango]

Like what, glance over and grok?

[molten bobcat]

Yes

[eternal mango]

Spot the interesting bits

Yarrrrp

[molten bobcat]

I developed pattern recognition for Linux and windows command line

Covers most things I think

Sorry MacOS your process history still just looks like unix lmao

(it is)

[eternal mango]

My first boss said when I was seeing patterns in logs for the platform we were working on, that either I was a very quick reader, or you're very good at guessing

Just as well, as he was pretty much blind

[molten bobcat]

It's not guessing or quick reading at all

It's just

[eternal mango]

It's pattern recognition

[molten bobcat]

I understand what is normal and what is abnormal

Yeah

[eternal mango]

It's like.. spotting entropy

[molten bobcat]

TF you mean cmd.exe is executing out of appdata local

Kinda shit

[eternal mango]

I kinda like the idea of trying blue team some time

Not now obvs

But some time

[balmy basalt]

I find it more odd when I find people that have been blue teaming in a set environment for a while and don't have that sense.

[molten bobcat]

I've found something my brain is suited for, is how it feels

[molten bobcat]

Genuinely a problem

At my workplace specifically

They're just

Some folks aren't getting it

I can do my job in my sleep and for some reason others are struggling really hard with.. doing their job

[balmy basalt]

Are you still in the same place?

[molten bobcat]

Yeah

[eternal mango]

They're not interested, not engaged, or simply not able to keep up?

[molten bobcat]

Not at the uni, in an actual SOC now

[molten bobcat]

Lack of engagement

[eternal mango]

🙁

[molten bobcat]

They're not interacting with the cases in a significant way

[plain badger]

Hey guys, I remember a while ago you were able to search for a retired box by vulnerability. Have they removed that feature or moved it somewhere else?

[eternal mango]

But that's the treasure hunt right

You could check https://ippsec.rocks/ @plain badger

[balmy basalt]

I feel like I have seen a swath of this recently. I think it's where I can see the case for the "AI will take the job" argument. (Doesn't mean it will do it well, but at least as well as it is being done currently.)

[plain badger]

ohh yeah that works too, i forgot about that. thanks

[molten bobcat]

I'm real tired of hearing "ai will take the job"

[balmy basalt]

I basically tune it out.

[deft bay]

O

hahhaha

[eternal mango]

mmhm

I went to her second lesson to play with her

and she was annoyed at how "good" I was

(spoiler, I'm not good)

Too much effort for her it seems

Another time maybe

[deft bay]

Then she wanted to quit??

[eternal mango]

ehhh it's a an odd time atm

We've just moved her to home schooling, as her school totally mislead us as to how she was progressing

[molten bobcat]

How olds the daughter?

[eternal mango]

She was in a not-usual school before that focusing more on the person, on art, on hands on things

So yeah now we're working on getting her ready for vocational courses at 14

She's 12

Wow wtf

How is she 12

[molten bobcat]

Haha sorry for making you realize time happens

[eternal mango]

It's fine

I'm still 21

[molten bobcat]

Or y'know, when you're sick

[eternal mango]

I've never really had a full checkup tbh

When you're Dutch and sick, paracetamol and rest

Paracetamol solves everything

[eternal mango]

...have you heard of hypochondirasis

[molten bobcat]

Kill

[deft bay]

No what is it

[molten bobcat]

[eternal mango]

[eternal mango]

Anyway, all good now

Medical issues can be caused by the mind

Just certain ones

[eternal mango]

Psychosomatic stuff

Muscular stuff is so hard to diagnose and treat

[deft bay]
