general

[tough abyss]

I think you should learn some manners

or how to

[sick gate]

Idk I got told I'm rude yesterday so I don't really have a good handle on that

Maybe

[tough abyss]

better articulate your thoughts

[tough abyss]

I mean

[sick gate]

Lmao

Okay

[tough abyss]

It's not inherently rude

[sick gate]

Idgaf

[tough abyss]

but it may come across as being rude

well that's certainly rude

[sick gate]

Oh well

[tough abyss]

why so toxic?

kind of self destructive don't you think?

[sick gate]

Sorry I should have responded better to you being condescending here

[tough abyss]

🤔

[sick gate]

To what consequences

[tough abyss]

there's nothing to apologize about

[tough abyss]

to yourself

[sick gate]

I'm not apologising it's sarcasm

What consequences

[tough abyss]

i.e. "self-destructive"

dude

quit trolling

[sick gate]

I thought the chat history posting was strange idk why you've got a bee in your bonnet about it

[supple plume]

why do you take things that seriously @tough abyss

[tough abyss]

I'm not

It's not that serious

I just think

It's unnecessary

[sick gate]

Sorry, necessary things only

[supple plume]

his comment was on point on being off topic

[tough abyss]

oh, I see

fair enough

[supple plume]

if you want to talk about things more seriuosly there is #hacker-lounge

there are less tomfoolery

[tough abyss]

really?

[supple plume]

yes

[tough abyss]

that's interesting

it shows for me as

No Access

[sick gate]

Hackers only

[supple plume]

oh

well hack a few machines

yo can get hacker badge quickly

[tough abyss]

yeah

I can

I don't have much time though for doing that

I'm in the middle of this AD lab

It's part of my assignment so

[sick gate]

Damn

[tough abyss]

it happens

you get that on the big jobs

[rugged egret]

oh this new UI is beautiful

[tough abyss]

which one?

[sick gate]

Less jibber jabber more hicker hacker??

Idk

I can't figure that one out

Hikky Hakky?

[tough abyss]

I heard that

the cyber mentor got hacked

is it true?

[sick gate]

I dunno. I didn't do it

[tough abyss]

fair enough

[sick gate]

Did they? More details?

[tough abyss]

that's kind of conflicting don't you think?

🤔

[rugged egret]

[sick gate]

TCM as in the "academy" or as in heath Adams?

Do you know anything else?

[austere sinew]

@muted olive ping

[tough abyss]

about what?

[tough abyss]

@austere sinew ++ ping

[sick gate]

About this

[tough abyss]

nah

I don't know anything

why?

what happened?

[sick gate]

I'm asking you

You brought it up?????

[tough abyss]

yes, I am ware of that

[rugged egret]

bro 😭

[tough abyss]

dude

[sick gate]

Wtf

[tough abyss]

I'm honestly so confused right now

kindly elaborate

I'm not too intelligent

so I require greater clarity

[rugged egret]

bro popped pills then hopped on

[tough abyss]

I don't take drugs

[sick gate]

Insane

Non Euclidian train of thought

[tough abyss]

you don't seriously think it's insane that I do not take drugs do you?

that's wild

haha

wtf

[exotic pendant]

oh

got a weird method

able to steal ntlm hash from VM guest -> Host

[tough abyss]

I jsut stole a bunch of ntlm hashes

well

I supposed they are not stolen

because it's expected they will be taken

by the lab creator

[lime trout]

i see general is being special as always

[muted olive]

speaking of vm guest and host
through windbg I confirmed that, the IOCTL is being rejected by something else before it even touches the driver code

apparently USBHUB3

which is weird

have you encountered something like that before?

[sick gate]

Intermediate filter driver? Or could stem from the hardening of USBHUB3.sys or whatever the driver is

Windbg time oh boy

[muted olive]

I think the issue is that its expecting the USB to be in a certain state which its not in

I didn't expect it to route through that thing in the first place

it indicates more about a potential incompatibility

[marsh viper]

Can anybody please share me a footprints and recon resources...

[rugged egret]

if u put ads on your walkthroughs or paid access u deserve to get beat

[muted olive]

you're correct actually
its supposed to go POC --> target driver
but its going:
POC --> intermediate --> target driver

and its failing at intermediate

[sick gate]

Hypervisor security filtering I'd think

[burnt tusk]

Verce L

[burnt tusk]

Truly insane, back at it again with more shenanigans (cves)

I remember people talking about how ssr is reverting right back to the mistakes php made

If nextjs is the new wordpress that would be hilarious (sad but funny)

[granite topaz]

How ?

[supple plume]

also wget

just google the command to download the whole directory

is not hard

[granite topaz]

I dont know why git-dumper not works i use gittools but it takes lots of time

[carmine pecan]

wget -r -np -nH --cut-dirs=1 -R "index.html*" http://URL HERE/.git/

[supple plume]

or run git-dumper with docker if installing is a problem

[supple plume]

what's your os

[granite topaz]

Currently i am using kali

[carmine pecan]

That's a nice answer

"Currently"

It implies you are aware of impermanence

[tough abyss]

Kali is nonsense

[lofty warren]

dude, dont pinging staffs

[supple plume]

what do you use

[native plume]

Windows Vista

[tough abyss]

for what?

I have different things

I use

Open BSD, Gentoo, Arch, Kali, Arch + BlackArch Repos

[supple plume]

for hacking?

[tough abyss]

define hacking?

[supple plume]

so you use Kali but is nonsense

[tough abyss]

yeah

[supple plume]

xd

[tough abyss]

it is mostly nonsense

I mean

it just depends on what you're doing I suppose

[supple plume]

Arch + BlackArch Repos is peak

Operating systems are tools

[tough abyss]

not really

[lofty warren]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-thanks-thank-you-greetings-shake-hands-gif-8848044178016260566

[tough abyss]

I'd disagree with you on that one

[molten bobcat]

This person isn't smart

[tough abyss]

who me?

hahaha

okay

you're entitled to your opinion

could you elaborate on how an operating system is simply a tool?

[tough abyss]

oh

I see

[lofty warren]

https://tenor.com/view/captain-obvious-thank-you-superhero-super-hero-gif-9900289

so you're just another troll

[molten bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/i-know-more-than-you-i-know-you-smarter-smarty-pants-glaring-gif-15654642

[tough abyss]

okay

maybe you do

🤔

what's your point?

is it that you know how to troll?

claiming that an operating system is a tool, is like calling a nuclear power plant a wrench

[cerulean bloom]

I would argue that everything and anything is a tool, but anyway

[granite topaz]

in my opinion nix is far more better than arch

[tough abyss]

it could be

[lofty warren]

sorry, wrong reply

[tough abyss]

depends on the use case like everything

[lofty warren]

https://tenor.com/view/excited-ah-ahh-gif-24288323

[tough abyss]

I mean

is a scheduler a tool?

no

is it part of an operating system

yes

[molten bobcat]

A nuclear power plant is a tool used to generate heat to evaporated water, providing electricity

[tough abyss]

🤔

[cerulean bloom]

everything has a specific purpose

[tough abyss]

yeah

[molten bobcat]

Yes, a scheduler is a tool

[tough abyss]

that's not my point though

now you guys are just arguing for the sake of it by the looks of things

[cerulean bloom]

its like

[tough abyss]

could you

[cerulean bloom]

very specific to people, because

[tough abyss]

tell me how exactly a scheduler is a tool?

[molten bobcat]

Because cybersecurity and information security is full of semantics like this and you arguing hard on a single aspect of it proves your inexperience in the field

[cerulean bloom]

a tool can be an implement, but an implement is a tool

its gonna be a infinite loop, right?

[tough abyss]

🤔

[cerulean bloom]

so it is open to perspective

[tough abyss]

hahaha

dude

[molten bobcat]

Anything is anything and the sooner you realize that the better

[tough abyss]

lmfao

[cerulean bloom]

[tough abyss]

you think they are semantics

except

in reality

they are not

[molten bobcat]

I mean did you wanna talk about your role in the field or are you just gonna keep "dude bruh" ing me

[tough abyss]

what role?

[molten bobcat]

Do you have a job?

[cerulean bloom]

I mean, it kinda is semantics
its open to interpretation

[tough abyss]

no, actually I did not want to talk about my role in the field

[molten bobcat]

I don't need to be corrected by an unemployed armchair expert lol

[tough abyss]

lmfao

tell me more

[supple plume]

dayum

[tough abyss]

this is getting interesting

[signal mica]

Hello what is your role in the field hello greetings

[tough abyss]

I love it when people just assume things

[supple plume]

he is a tool

[tough abyss]

I run a lab, that's all you need to know

🤣

[molten bobcat]

I'm not assuming anything I'm making educated guesses based on data

[tough abyss]

if you say so

[signal mica]

Lab as in chemistry?

[tough abyss]

sounds like your just trolling to me

[molten bobcat]

Even if you are employed, my god you must fuckin suck to work with

[tough abyss]

no

[molten bobcat]

You sound like you drain the oxygen out of any room you occupy

[tough abyss]

I also evacuated Westport

[tough abyss]

[molten bobcat]

[signal mica]

No way im finna trust a guy that wears a goofy hat

[molten bobcat]

[tough abyss]

finna?

[molten bobcat]

Oh I took his hat as part of the deal

[tough abyss]

what the heck is a finna?

who is finna?

[lofty warren]

"find a"

[tough abyss]

[lofty warren]

"going to"

[tough abyss]

I was honestly just curious

I mean

you said you had the weekend off

just trolling along

[signal mica]

Dont even know what it means i just saw it on an instagram reel once

oh okay

how do "old head[s]" type?

this is honestly so interesting

Weird use of brackets and backticks for markdown formatting is weird

[signal mica]

Hex encoded ascii

[molten bobcat]

Gotcha

[tough abyss]

to be perfectly honest with you I am kind of confused though because I have no idea what an "old head" even is

[molten bobcat]

I recognized it as an encoding

Now code that fast

[undone fossil]

if you're coding that fast you're copy pasting or writing something extremely dull

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[molten bobcat]

Real lol

I was gonna say most coding so far is googling how the fuck to do something

[undone fossil]

fair

[molten bobcat]

And then you write a line

[undone fossil]

okay maybe not that much googling

Hello HTB Team,

I would like to request bringing back the vulnerability/skills filtering for Machines (e.g. SQLi, XSS, LFI, RCE).

This feature existed in the old interface and was extremely helpful for structured learning and focused practice.

Currently, it’s difficult to train on a specific vulnerability without relying on external lists or guesswork.

Even a basic filter or optional tags-based filtering would greatly improve the learning experience.

Thank you for the great platform and continuous improvements.

[vivid flower]

You can still use https://ippsec.rocks

/feedback - please provide it here

turns out in discord you can unlock a dev feature by holding alt + f4

guys kali linux arm version can do hackthebox boxes? or there are missing packages?

[toxic sandal]

I use Kali Arm. No issues aside from compiling at times

[green kite]

I’m hating to be the bearer of bad news, but it’s not the OS that can do the boxes

[undone fossil]

real

i solve most on windows/ubuntu

[green kite]

It’s usually the person using the computer that makes or breaks it

[grizzled dagger]

Best moderator🖤

[toxic sandal]

you could always run a model locally and use Cline + Puppeteer MCP server to pwn boxes for you though

[green kite]

True

How’re you today Crow?

[toxic sandal]

Doing great, thanks for asking. You? I'm studying for OSEP for the next month

[acoustic pine]

this is ai?

[green kite]

I’m doing good, thanks 🙂

[green kite]

Nice. Good luck!!!

[toxic sandal]

Cline is an extension for VSC to connect to models for agentic AI. MCP is like an API for AI Models, and Puppeteer is a tool devs use to open browsers for int testing

[acoustic pine]

the purpose of hackthebox is like playing puzzle games , with AI you dont play it plays for you

Does anyone know when you get asked "Can you legally work in the country you are applying" what exactly is meant by that? I Can work wherever the fuck the company is willing to sponsor the visa for

Do they mean "will we need to provide you a visa at our expense" ?

because if its a matter of legality im not like, banned from entering the country or on interpols watch list

[molten bobcat]

You cannot work in a government position without a valid citizenship for the country

[past wigeon]

Barring that, however.

[molten bobcat]

It's literally a citizenship question

[past wigeon]

Thats a diff question, in the list usually.

it just strikes me as odd for the first time scrutinizing it, as i apply for a position out of country

[thick forge]

just put yes

[molten bobcat]

Are you legally authorized to work in the U.S. (or other country)?"
Citizen/Permanent Resident: Yes.
Current Visa (e.g., F-1 student on OPT/CPT): Yes, as you have temporary work authorization through your status, say this is often how to answer the question.
No Visa/Authorization: No, you are not legally authorized to work yet.
