general

[sage sail]

I know cloud

you explained lmaooooo

but still

my brain is slow af

that's why I have this problem

[plush zephyr]

No point in coping now just reformat your pc

[supple plume]

I am fine in singlehandedlyland

[eternal mango]

Just reformat, remove the worry

[sage sail]

I shall read again what you sent

[molten bobcat]

If you'll excuse me, I have chicken to marinade

[mystic harbor]

Step2?

[sage sail]

go for it

[molten bobcat]

GOOD DAY

[sage sail]

thanks tho

[knotty iron]

i have a presidential waver to get stoned af

[eternal mango]

What if you get something dropped at the end of your finals

and lose everything

[alpine pumice]

big yikes

[sage sail]

I don't have nothing on my pc

[mystic harbor]

Then shut up

[eternal mango]

Ohmygod

[plush zephyr]

😭

[sage sail]

I think I whipe my disk every 5 months by now

[eternal mango]

Why ask for advice then

[tough abyss]

just use win98 guys

[sage sail]

cause I like cyber

[tough abyss]

it is infinitely superior to windows 13

[sage sail]

and I wanna know what I did wrong

[plush zephyr]

Are you trying to rage bait people

[eternal mango]

You pirated a game

[sage sail]

at least I wanna know how this trojan works

yeah I get that

[sage sail]

I promise no

[supple plume]

the good old times

[plush zephyr]

That's one way to learn about malware

[sage sail]

anyway I'll do my research about this thing

[mystic harbor]

Sit and read the source

[plush zephyr]

Just don't do that in a corporate environment

[alpine pumice]

that's just some generic detection

[sage sail]

I thought it would just be finding a weird file named trojan.exe

[knotty iron]

you didnt have to run that far away

good god

[alpine pumice]

it's not that simple

[supple plume]

I am old

[sage sail]

yeah that's what I'm seeing

[knotty iron]

who told you that?

[sage sail]

anyway sorry guys I promise I'm not tryint to ragebait I just really wanna understand

I will be quiet and do researches

thanks

[mystic harbor]

Why would someone put trojan name as trojan first of all

[plush zephyr]

Run a sandbox

[supple plume]

My calendar birthday reminder

[knotty iron]

hm. i dont think youre that old fr

[sage sail]

yeah but i've had this game for 1 week

[knotty iron]

you look about... 28

[sage sail]

and the threat is appearing only now

[supple plume]

How do you know?

[obtuse fern]

you guys think?

[knotty iron]

rootcasa rootcasa

[alpine pumice]

The problem with your question is you're asking a question that takes years of learning and experience to understand everything. Someone could explain it to you in a paragraph but unless you understand all the terms and underlying foundations of how computers and software operate you'll still be at square one.

[sage sail]

yeah of course

[supple plume]

What's that

[eternal mango]

Being given advice and then proceeding not to care also

[sage sail]

WYM

[eternal mango]

Just why even bother in the first place

[sage sail]

I cared about everything everyone said so far

[plush zephyr]

Teach me everything about malware without teaching me everything about malware ahh

[knotty iron]

it means that since you came for my super duper honey pot, i also have linked with you bb

[obtuse fern]

< left of curve - Reformat Windows
- Center of curve - Look at all the logs
> Right of curve - Reformat Windows

[mystic harbor]

Alr here step 2
Type shutdown now

[supple plume]

My terminal is what's running in your computer

Btw

[plush zephyr]

I'll give you the best advice

[sage sail]

well now you guys are ragebaiting me

[knotty iron]

just the skin

[alpine pumice]

if i got malware somehow i'd probably just manually remove it where is that on the curve

[plush zephyr]

Press window + x and then press "u" key 2 times

[supple plume]

Have you checked if I included a backdoor?

[knotty iron]

no. i dont need to. because, if you turn on me again, im getting version 2

[obtuse fern]

Center, left or right doesn't matter (typically further left on the curve)

[alpine pumice]

i feel like mbam + autoruns + process explorer = gg for like 99.9% of malware

[eternal mango]

Just because there's nothing on the computer doesn't mean your computer doesn't provide an opportunity should the malware drop something else if possible, honestly my advice was meant to protect you, not to bait you. It's just frustrating for anyone when advice meats deaf ears

[obtuse fern]

^

[eternal mango]

I'll shut up now 🤣

[obtuse fern]

infostealers and trojans don't generally care about what loot there is on your computer

trojans are generally used to later set up bot-farms/zombies

[heady sage]

That's....what an info stealer is for.

[plush zephyr]

😭

[sage sail]

but again I'm really here wanting to listen to peopel so you guys can teach me stuff

I didn't want to give any other impression

[plush zephyr]

Again

[obtuse fern]

let me rephrase; they don't care if you are someone with a million dollars or five dollars in your bank account. they just do what they do

[alpine pumice]

oh shit megabonk update

[tough abyss]

what do you guys think are the chances of

maybe in the future

[eternal mango]

YES!

Not jumped on it yet

[tough abyss]

Windows ceases to exist

and everyone either uses mac

[eternal mango]

But 💯 will before bed

[plush zephyr]

I advice you doing this

[tough abyss]

or Linux

?

🤔

[mystic harbor]

0

[supple plume]

Linux

[tough abyss]

many people are switching over to Linux from Windows

[alpine pumice]

new char too

[agile thunder]

-10%

[mystic harbor]

Corps will still use windows

[eternal mango]

Watching LetsSufferTogether on Twitch atm on Bonk for his birthday stream

New zone looks interesting

[sage sail]

Ragebait

[agile thunder]

tats what I was thunkin

[sage sail]

Not funny

[obtuse fern]

small chance, because most corps rely on Windows, specifically AD -- AD servers run Windows, so they'd need a simple replacement that can be migrated too with little overhead cost for replacement

[plush zephyr]

Did you actually try it?

[sage sail]

well I just pressed u 1 time

saw what it what showing me

[eternal mango]

Excellent

[plush zephyr]

😭

[eternal mango]

Not having full trust is good 😄

Still haven't seen ATLAS 🙁

[plush zephyr]

Only if he learned that before pirating

[supple plume]

Ah

Time to sleep

[plush zephyr]

Patience

[knotty iron]

good night

[eternal mango]

Everyone learns somehow I guess, and we all had moments of stupid

[mystic harbor]

[eternal mango]

But yeah

Pirated software now is just asking for trouble

[eternal mango]

nn, sleep well 🙂

[obtuse fern]

next time i'll pirate through a vpn, surely that'll keep me safe -- so says the vpn ads

[plush zephyr]

Also g0blin guess WHAT

[agile thunder]

chicken butt

ha

[eternal mango]

Uhhhhh... uhhh.. uhhh.... You were sold an extended warranty for a scooter?!?!

Not even an electric one!

[plush zephyr]

😭😭no

[eternal mango]

Not sure why that's where I went, but there it is

What happened 🙂

[plush zephyr]

I finally bought a CAMERA

[eternal mango]

Imagine if I was right...

🤘

[mystic harbor]

4k?

[plush zephyr]

Let's not

[eternal mango]

Niiiice one

What did you get?

[plush zephyr]

sony a6600

I am yet to buy a lens

[agile thunder]

Did you happen to get an extended warranty on said photographic implement?

[mystic harbor]

Orange and Blue site got a upgrade

[eternal mango]

Fair choice, aps-c so good range to you

I do love Sony cameras over Cannon etc tbh

[plush zephyr]

Bought the body only as it was on sale, cost me only 600$

[eternal mango]

Wow

That's a hell of a deal

[plush zephyr]

Ikr

Now just need a good lens

[eternal mango]

Funny story...

I was meant to record my brothers wedding

I by mistake brought the wrong lens.. only had a zoom that could show their faces, and none of the surrounding

A random friend from one side of the family had a 20mm lens with them by chance

Ok, nevermind

That wasn't very funny

[plush zephyr]

Tele photo lens

[eternal mango]

But I was crapping myself, as they were relying upon me to record

[eternal mango]

Yeah, I mean I have a good wide angle lens, I just picked up the wrong one

[plush zephyr]

Pressure must've been real

[eternal mango]

Sorry, that was a letdown

Then the live stream failed

[plush zephyr]

😭

[eternal mango]

Canadian family were like "WE DON'T SEE ANYTHING"!

Got the recording at least

[plush zephyr]

How can you order the wrong lens though?

[eternal mango]

I didn't order the wrong lens

I took my gear pack and put the wrong lens in there in a rush

[mystic harbor]

"Pick"

[plush zephyr]

Ahh

How many lenses do you have

[eternal mango]

A few...

[plush zephyr]

That's such a flex

Recommend me some good lens to get

[eternal mango]

Use case?

Use to work at a place that had another side to the business past web dev.. photography

I used to stay at their studios when I had to commute more than an hour a half each way daily

[plush zephyr]

Holy moly 🤯

[alpine pumice]

is that a mini 3 pro i see?

[eternal mango]

That guy had hundreds of k of lenses in one room hahah, was crazy

[eternal mango]

Is indeed 🙂

[plush zephyr]

Just to learn photography. architecture, nature, event photos

[alpine pumice]

i love my mini 3 pro and need to fly it more

[eternal mango]

Avata 2 there too for funnn

[plush zephyr]

Also do you know about this website called mpb? I heard it's a good site to get second hand photography gear

[eternal mango]

For wide angle I'd grab something around the 20-100mm for some flexibility, like the alpha lenses are great if you want to specialise, but are costly and limited in flex

[eternal mango]

I've had bad experiences with second hand lenses 🙁 Mostly given up on used gear now, but I've got most of the lens's I'll ever need

If you want to save some, Tamron and Sigma are a decent alternative to Sony lens

[plush zephyr]

Ikr, they expensive af, all good lenses cost more than 350$

[knotty iron]

Does zero divide by zero or orange?

[plush zephyr]

I like the Tamron 17-70Mm F/2.8

But costs like 500$ 😭

[thick forge]

im back

is gonna rain in some few minutes i think

so i enter all the tools to work after the rain

[eternal mango]

I mean that's fast enough to suit for some low light situations, and has some reach for more candid or ranged shots, while being able to capture a wide scene

But yeah

Good glass costs 😐

[plush zephyr]

Anyways, once i get the lens, I'll start taking photos left and right and possibly even recreate some of your ideas

[eternal mango]

Could get a cheaper 50mm or something

In the middle but nice and fast

[plush zephyr]

I really liked one lf your moons pics the one where the plant was in foreground

[plush zephyr]

Yes, but the thing is

[eternal mango]

Yeah you want the wide aperture for the bokeh, like f1.8

[plush zephyr]

I dont wanna buy prime lenses

[eternal mango]

Yup that's fair

[plush zephyr]

I feel like i will be limited

The only good lens in my budget i have rn is Sony E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II

It's a kit lens

But i suppose something is better than nothing

[sturdy thistle]

i found skillarch

[eternal mango]

You can achieve plenty with that, hell you see what shots people can get with phones

Sure with F3.5 you won't be doing great in low light, but for general purpose and lit scenes you'll be perfectly fine

[plush zephyr]

Yes, i am myself a phone photographer at some point 😂 people sometimes refuse to believe i take photos from my phone

[eternal mango]

Unless you're looking at shooting targets that are moving often and you are unable to approach, honestly you don't need too much reach either, and at 24MP sensor, you'll be able to scale or sample a portion of the image without too much detriment

[plush zephyr]

Yep, the ibis helps a little bit in low light but gotta increase the iso

Hopefully noise doesn't fuck up the image

[eternal mango]

640 ISO does very well, even in daylight if you need to up the shutter

Higher yeah obviously you'll get noise

[plush zephyr]

I see, i am still new to the camera stuff looking at the buttons on camera feels like i am in a plane's cockpit 😆

[eternal mango]

I still get confused 🤣

[plush zephyr]

Yeah, I'll remove it in Lightroom

[plush zephyr]

Woah

[warped plank]

My photography teacher once said: dont care about the noise just get the photo.

[plush zephyr]

Even after so many years?

[eternal mango]

There's a feature in Sony cameras which makes ISO 640 ideal too, something like dual exposure, I can't remember

Like as in below 640 you don't gain anything unless very low in the RAW capture

ehh it's always just been a hobby

Sometimes I spent loads of time learning and practicing, but then other things come and distract me

[plush zephyr]

Wise words

[eternal mango]

Hm maybe that comment on ISO640 is for thte A7 range, not sure if shared to yours

[plush zephyr]

Yeah, looking at those pics shows how much time goes behind them💯💯. I'll soon be your rival 😈 😆 in photography

[eternal mango]

Even so, a good level and balance

[plush zephyr]

(i am delusional)

[eternal mango]

I look forward to seeing what you get ❤️

Nahhh no way, have faith in yourself, keep your eyes open, and experiment

[plush zephyr]

HELLL YEAHHHHHH, i will surely send you the pics i took. once i get the lens

[warped plank]

If you're really just starting out I recommend not going fully manual and try one of the priority modes. Being fast and taking the photo matters more than completely user dialed settings

[plush zephyr]

I really get inspired by your astro photography

[warped plank]

And if you're shooting outside manual mode you gonna be adjusting every shot

[eternal mango]

Geminid shower tonight, and it's cloudy

🙁

[signal mica]

😈 😈 😈

[plush zephyr]

Yes, I'll be shooting auto

Also do you also take photos?@warped plank

[warped plank]

Still dont recommend auto though gotta control something in the light triangle

[plush zephyr]

Share some pics if you've got any

[warped plank]

I took film in college for a year

[eternal mango]

Make sure to enable dual format JPG+RAW 😄

[plush zephyr]

Interesting

[warped plank]

No, they're all portrait photography of me or my friends

[plush zephyr]

Space goes brrrrr

[plush zephyr]

Sad

[warped plank]

Easiest thing to make a subject more cinematic though is place the key light slightly behind it and to the side. It makes the highlights be the further point from the camera making it look more aesthetic. Pop oranges into your highlights and blue into your shadows and you got the film look.

[eternal mango]

I love looking back at photos of my friends and myself from the years gone, then I get soppy and think about all those times gone lol, and the go on a posting spree

Those little moments

Wait, you used lights?

😅

Does make a huge difference lighting obvs

[plush zephyr]

I wasn't able to understand much of it, but i got the idea

[eternal mango]

never went as far as messing with composure like that, but wish I had stuck about in photography after secondary school

They had a whole section on exposing negatives in darkrooms etc

[warped plank]

Just took a look at ye ol camera cabinet, maybe I should get back into photography

[plush zephyr]

Understandable good old days

[eternal mango]

But all the bullies joined that class as they saw it as easy

[eternal mango]

Do it!

[warped plank]

Eos550D btw, le step-dad's old camera

[plush zephyr]

Wow canon

[eternal mango]

No way

[plush zephyr]

You have 2 cameras

[sage sail]

yo guys

[warped plank]

I prefer my A7S sony though

[eternal mango]

I had the 550D as my first DSLR

[sage sail]

it wasn't become of my pirated game

https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/1500000122561-Someone-found-a-way-to-make-your-Windows-Defender-freak-out-about-images-in-the-Cache-

[eternal mango]

I remember getting my first overdraft

Then spending it all on a camera

Literally the same hour

[warped plank]

4:

• Canon EOS 550D
• Samsung A7S
• a really old digital video cam (those ones with the hand strap and rotating screen)
• a film camera (yes real film)

[eternal mango]

Yes I was right! It was the 550d! hahah

[plush zephyr]

Me when i get my first job

[plush zephyr]

You're an og

[warped plank]

Ngl I really should buy a new lens for my A7S

[plush zephyr]

Yoo, that's sick

And spooky too

[warped plank]

Nice DoF, was that the shallowest?

[plush zephyr]

Where did you even find it

[eternal mango]

https://www.slhk.org/theossuary.htm Ossuary in a church near me (didn't leave around there at the time) in Hythe

[eternal mango]

NFI to be honest, kit lens was all I had then so maybe

but at 4.5/50MM reckon it had a bit to give

Can't recall the lens, and don't have the camera anymore

[warped plank]

Yeah even kit lenses can go lower than 4.5

[eternal mango]

Likely the 18-55mm F3.5-5.6

[plush zephyr]

What do you guys think about fuji film cams?

[eternal mango]

Was the cheapest I could get with the camera

I did have a fujifilm ages ago, just a point and shoot thing which did me well at gigs and festivals for ages

But to compare to modern cameras, no idea

I got angry at one gig and threw it down the street for some reason... I still have no idea what pissed me off so much

[plush zephyr]

😭you had every brand camera atp

Damn

[eternal mango]

A friend brought it back, and gave it to me on the promise I didn't throw it again

[plush zephyr]

😭😭😭

[eternal mango]

....I did

[plush zephyr]

Lmao

[eternal mango]

Silly young g0blin

[plush zephyr]

No way

[warped plank]

They're really good for a certain look but falter in comparison to most modern cams which when capturing RAW log can easily be edited

[plush zephyr]

Now everytime i think of buying a fuji film camera, my mind will think of you throwing it

[eternal mango]

LOL

[eternal mango]

Hah 😄 Always temped by Leica

They just look... so good

[plush zephyr]

True, though i like the way you can edit the recipes and just point and shoot

[eternal mango]

But I'm taking photos with it

not looking at it

Never used a Nikon

[warped plank]

I wanna film on an Imax camera

[eternal mango]

🤯

Seeing people use those RED camera setups on YouTube for things like high speed and just blogging

Like

They're vlogging with something worth more than a deposit on a house

[plush zephyr]

Is that a brand?

[eternal mango]

Yeah, German

e.g.

[plush zephyr]

I really wanna see the pics you took, aren't there pics of nature or any architecture you took

[warped plank]

Probably are but I forget where the drive is that has all these pics

[eternal mango]

One year for my birthday, someone gave me these film disposables that had weird mix of chemicals or film in them.. like, different effects

[plush zephyr]

Wow, that's a fuji film look camera

[eternal mango]

When I went to get them exposed, the tech said "are you sure you want these? they look terrible"

[plush zephyr]

If you ever find them share them here and tag me 😄

[eternal mango]

Checked them out.. they did, but because they had all these weird effects on them lol

I gotta dig those out sometime. Used them at a festival one year, some fun stuff

Remember that "light wave" camera that promised so much but flopped?

[plush zephyr]

You both make me go 🤯🤯

[eternal mango]

Like I think early kickstarter or something

Oh "light field" it was

[plush zephyr]

Never heard of them

[eternal mango]

The "Lytro"

It recorded light in a way that meant you could refocus the image AFTER it was taken

[plush zephyr]

Reminds me of the pin hole camera i made back in 6th class 😭

[plush zephyr]

OH, YES

[eternal mango]

But it failed so hard unfortunately

[plush zephyr]

I've heard about those

Damn you're an og

[eternal mango]

Boys and toys

🤣

If it's tech, it's probably got a space in my brain somewhere hahah

[plush zephyr]

Also have you tried hasselblad cameras?

[eternal mango]

I have not, but I did read up on one a while ago

Something about it was insane, but I can't remember what

[plush zephyr]

102 megapixels 🤯

[eternal mango]

Maybe the massive megapixel one

YES that's it!

[plush zephyr]

You can crop it so much and you'll still have a great pic no noise

Wasn't the best way to describe it 😭

[eternal mango]

Perfection is overrated, like 0xW1LD kinda said

Nah I get it

The capture of a sensor that size is just insane

[plush zephyr]

Ikr, they're hella expensive

Anyways

[eternal mango]

£6400.. jfc

[plush zephyr]

It's 4:30am here, i should get some sleep

[plush zephyr]

🙏

[eternal mango]

YES, please do

Sleep well 🙂

[plush zephyr]

Night night.

See ya

[eternal mango]

Wow look at that thing

Like an old box camera

(used to buy those at boofairs to play with lol)

(without film...)

(my mum told me to stop buying rubbish..)

[eternal mango]

Hey Unc

https://tenor.com/view/forrest-gump-running-me-when-im-late-tom-hanks-gif-5144739

But yeah, literally camera like that I kept bringing home lol

[eternal mango]

(sorry)

https://tenor.com/view/dead-quiet-hello-gif-14275957

[molten bobcat]

That camera is from Fatal Frame haha

[eternal mango]

All I saw were the flaps on the camera body and thought "yeah, that's old"

Like this kinda thing

[terse dirge]

g0b, they added arizona to helldivers 2

[eternal mango]

How long has it been

I need to actually check it properly one day 😄

[terse dirge]

you should check it out right now 👀

[eternal mango]

Hmmm

It's 2300 though

quickly looks for another excuse

Not sure what put me off first time I tried it, but something did

..if it's the game you kept on trying to get me to play.. it is right?

Damn was hoping it was on game pass, but nah

[terse dirge]

it's on steam

[eternal mango]

Yeah.. was just seeing if I had it somewhere else before buying it again, as apparently I refunded it already

I don't remember why..

Faint feeling the controls annoyed me, but not sure..

Exactly! 😄

What did you think of the "come back" season?

When they were actually old, instead of with makeup

HAH yeah, me too.. I've not watched it yet

Pretty much for the same reason

[supple rain]

👀

[eternal mango]

I think the years will not have treated Crain Charles well through Coronation Street

That program ages the populus, let alone the actors

Remember him in Robot Wars 🤣

[eternal mango]

Love it

LET'S RUMMMBLE (heavy scouse accent)

[supple rain]

My wife was once interested in photography and developed her own films...

[eternal mango]

Nice

[eternal mango]

Was that one of the 3D cameras? "3D"

There was a period where they were the craze, two lenses exposing to the same frame

[supple rain]

Why 3D is a real camera

I think this is a mirror

[eternal mango]

This kinda thing that offset and exposed through like a red / blue filter

You know, when you had to use glasses to see the effect

Was just curious if that's what it was

[supple rain]

Well, I didn’t dig that far, I just like the aesthetics of old cameras.)))

[eternal mango]

Fair fair, agreed

There is a charm to them

[eternal mango]

There was this one brand, like a cheap red camera in the 80s-90s that all the kids had

[supple rain]

Everyone went to have breakfast and go to work))

[eternal mango]

Kinda like that

But not Franka brand here I don't think

..or maybe it was, I don't know, ages ago lol

[eternal mango]

Almost midnight here, around for a little longer 😉 How's it going?

[eternal mango]

I recall this really small 35mm thing, like expanded out and the whole body of the camera was used to move the action

Felt like a spy using it 🤣

Kinda like that form factor

[supple rain]

It's already half past eight here)))

[eternal mango]

Bought my daughter one of the new "remakes" ages ago for her birthday

It broke within a month

Those old polaroid ones would just keep on going, but the film cost more than the camera itself

[exotic pendant]

[eternal mango]

Pizza?

[exotic pendant]

Kid wanted ice cream and hot chocolate for dinner

[fair drift]

Wow looks incredible

[eternal mango]

https://tenor.com/view/doja-cat-star-wars-gif-25078126

[exotic pendant]

I also ate a bunch of kimchi

[exotic pendant]

We did and it was good

[eternal mango]

Well that's some of your 5 a day

[exotic pendant]

Tried a new brand

[fair drift]

Does that meal come with an insulin shot

[exotic pendant]

We made the ice cream ourselves with milk and protein powder

Ninja creami is good

[fair drift]

Protein powder contains artificial sweeteners no?

[eternal mango]

😅

"go somewhere without going anywhere"

[exotic pendant]

I’m not afraid of them

[eternal mango]

The experience

[exotic pendant]

Use to have a lot of these slides

[fair drift]

I see, you work at that place or own it

[exotic pendant]

You what

[eternal mango]

Wait did I imagine it, or are Nintendo doing pre-sales for the Virtual Boy..

I did NOT imagine it wtf lol

https://store.nintendo.co.uk/en/virtual-boy-for-nintendo-switch-2nintendo-switch-000000000010015881

[fair drift]

Well, I am oblivious to the context, act as though you haven't read the question

[exotic pendant]

Wait they have one for the switch

[eternal mango]

It's on pre-order for Nintendo Club members

shipping feb 2026

£66.99... almost nice?

But what on earth

[exotic pendant]

Nice

[fair drift]

Virtual Boy is a weird choice of names

[eternal mango]

It was a real console in the 90s

Now they are re-releasing it for some reason

Not that weird, virtual reality, crossed with the game boy

Virtual Boy

If it's weird, that's a you problem

[exotic pendant]

Tempted to sleep early tonight

[eternal mango]

Did that yesterday, kept on falling asleep in the day anyway lol

But it is a good shout

[fair drift]

The exact same device?

[eternal mango]

Well obviously not

[exotic pendant]

My RCE should be approved soon

[eternal mango]

It won't be the same components

[exotic pendant]

Don't click links bros

what?

[median delta]

Where can i ask help for the htb academy? I couldn’t find the channel (on iphone).

[alpine pumice]

#modules

[median delta]

Ty

[knotty iron]

You know what happened last time. During Vietnam of 1995 when you broke firestorm

This is why

[vivid flower]

You know, this does kind of bring up a good point, that it would make more sense for the channel to be called # academy than #modules

He was probably looking and expecting to find a channel like that. But its called something else

[scenic maple]

[vivid flower]

Why don't we change it?

[alpine pumice]

my guess is because academy encompasses a lot more than just the modules, and modules is specific for help on modules not just a general academy chat. but i don't know, i didn't make them.

[knotty iron]

I just submit tickets bro

Mannnn I was paid $27 an hour for that??

[vivid flower]

Well... why don't we have an academy general chat?

Ig that makes sense

[lunar venture]

So there AI agents hacking better than top hackers

[terse dirge]

Dear HTB, why do you change your API every week?

[lunar venture]

For 18 an hour

Instead of the 6 figure hackers

[terse dirge]

Huh?

[lunar venture]

Read articles about it

[alpine pumice]

this is my first time of hearing about this

[lunar venture]

Looks like cyber-security it's also a AI sector now

[terse dirge]

Me when I spread misinformation online:

[lunar venture]

Search Artemis

[terse dirge]

If you're talking about bug bounty it's not entirely accurate, programs like curl have been banning clanker slop

[lunar venture]

Just look up Artemis

[eternal mango]

So you read a Business Insider article, well done.

But the AI isn't flawless. ARTEMIS struggled with tasks that required clicking through graphical screens, causing it to overlook a critical vulnerability. It is also more prone to false alarms, mistaking harmless network messages for signs of a successful break-in.

[lunar venture]

Wow we seeing a version 1

It's not like they can self improve

Cope?

[muted olive]

AI for pentesting is fine until we see it do a major fucky wucky and causing irreversible downtime

It'll 100% happen one day

[eternal mango]

I won't deny there is potential and real world use for models in tasks like this

[lunar venture]

It just a matter of time

[eternal mango]

But saying cyber-security is an AI sectory is just not right

[lunar venture]

You wanna know the facts then ?

Less people then

Less people in cyber-security jobs

Like 70% less

Realistically

[eternal mango]

Wow, we got a Mystic Meg here

[muted olive]

wh

[lunar venture]

They only gonna hire the best of the best for audit and make sure everything checks right

[alpine pumice]

Your claim wasn't that they could get there, your claim was "ai agents hack better than top hackers for 18/hr instead of 6 figures"

[lunar venture]

So we cope

How long you think it's gonna take a generation to get better ?

[eternal mango]

When tools evolve, we evolve to use them to be better. Do you have a point?

[alpine pumice]

show me the 18/h AI that hacks better than top hackers

[lunar venture]

It could be 5 years from now

[rapid badger]

I wish I could read one article and become an expert

[lunar venture]

The cope ITS INSANE

[rapid badger]

Seems so nice

[eternal mango]

This is basically someone reposting on Facebook because they saw a word

[lunar venture]

It's all good tho let time tell

Remember they said AI was sci Fi years ago

[alpine pumice]

you're moving the goalpost don't act as if you won some debate

[eternal mango]

Nobody said that

[lunar venture]

Oh yeah ?

Sure

[terse dirge]

I wouldn't be surprised if using an AI model to do your pentests for you would violate compliance

[lunar venture]

Looks like we don't know common folks

[muted olive]

AI development has been happening for decades lol

[scenic maple]

yes become farmer

[lunar venture]

I am pretty sure the will reach a level where this won't happen

[eternal mango]

If you want to engage in a sensible discussion, great, but right now you're just shooting down any comment against what you believe.

That's not a discussion

That's idiocy

[lunar venture]

They said quantum was centuries far

Now less see

[scenic maple]

strongest agi user vs weakest ai bubble user

[lunar venture]

Oh yeah let me cope

Is not like AGI can take average hackers jobs

[rapid badger]

Lil bro is literally in CoD lobby

[muted olive]

Its like saying calculators can replace data scientists

[lunar venture]

In 10 years from now

[eternal mango]

Ok, @lunar venture are you going to actually discuss, or just keep on like this?

[lunar venture]

It's not going to replace totally but it will take jobs

Y'all chill like it's cool

[scenic maple]

https://tenor.com/bZ75b.gif

[lunar venture]

It's facts that there will be wayyyyyy less spots

[eternal mango]

[lunar venture]

What makes you better than AGI tho

[muted olive]

https://tenor.com/2guE.gif

[scenic maple]

i exist

[lunar venture]

Once they get there in like 10 years

[alpine pumice]

they said the same thing about the assembly line when ford built the model t, yet it made the economy boom. they also said the same thing about computers themselves, yet they exploded jobes and the economy despite replacing a job "computer" which was actually a title for a job that humans used to do.

[lunar venture]

They won't have to pay 250k to keep you tho

Or s whole team

[muted olive]

you realize that AI is a glorified language-speaking calculator

[lunar venture]

Only 3 people

[alpine pumice]

there will still need to be someone who pilots the AI, C level executives aren't going to do pentests piloting the AI and know anything about what it means when it tells you what to fix

[lunar venture]

Nothing just become better and see if y'all can keep the jobs

[eternal mango]

🤣

[terse dirge]

@lunar venture just put the fries in the bag bro

[muted olive]

also yeah, NASA used human computers before modern computers

[scenic maple]

https://tenor.com/view/matrix-battery-humans-sleeping-computer-gif-16883902

[lunar venture]

Acting cool y'all know this shit coming faster than y'all though I know some of you are scared

It's discord tho who cares

[muted olive]

😂

[eternal mango]

You're the one that's out here spouting this fear mongering

Sounds like you are the one that is scared

[lunar venture]

You know it's facts

Well goblin you have to compete with that idk bro

[vivid flower]

[lunar venture]

Who the fuck cares about s mod job

[eternal mango]

No, you don't know

You are right on that

[scenic maple]

ai cant take ur job if ur jobless

[lunar venture]

Highschool rambling now

[scenic maple]

😩

[lunar venture]

What it's this

No one even tried to discuss this like an adult

[alpine pumice]

it sounds like AI is already taking over as your girlfriend too

are you on one of those ai gf websites bro

[vivid flower]

Okay ill give a serious response

[terse dirge]

L bait attempt

[scenic maple]

you see in the internet if you dont make the right arguments people make fun of you usually

[lunar venture]

Brainrot chat now I guess

[rapid badger]

Grammarly took my jerb

[muted olive]

no one tried to discuss this like an adult
meanwhile, counterargument: "nuh uh"

[lunar venture]

You mean Americans ?

[eternal mango]

Hahah

[lunar venture]

That seems american behavior

[scenic maple]

no bro there are non americans on the internet too

[lunar venture]

On discord ?

It's mostly americans

Lest be honest

[scenic maple]

wait one sec

[muted olive]

wow new statistic dropped

[vivid flower]

Automation has been used to try and find vulns in the past and to secure infra but people who trust those technologies usually end up being vulnerable because of oversights

[muted olive]

where did you get that fascinating data

[lunar venture]

Where yu from then

[scenic maple]

do you happen to think this is the world map

[lunar venture]

Prove my point

[scenic maple]

[lunar venture]

Golam where you at

[scenic maple]

not america

[eternal mango]

UK here, damn, combo breaker

[vivid flower]

Ai is going to reduce the workload of a competent practitoner but it wont replace it

[muted olive]

im in india, golam's in bangladesj, g0blin's in UK. already disproved lmao

[rapid badger]

sometimes I chant "U S A
U S A" in my head. Does that make me american ?

[muted olive]

it is obviously

[lunar venture]

Indian doest exist

[scenic maple]

he is probably saying what are those names

[vivid flower]

I am in burger land

[lunar venture]

Uk it's basically america with more censorship

[vivid flower]

Anyway cato thats my take

[median delta]

How can i get my employer to sign me up for HTB academy?

[lunar venture]

What your take it's that don't worry nothing gonna happen ?

[median delta]

Do i send them a link or what?

[terse dirge]

@lunar venture how will AI become this super overlord if there're limited resources for chips and other things like a limitation to human engineering?

[alpine pumice]

@lunar venture how old are you?

[vivid flower]

There's going to be a reduction in required staff , but the profession is not going away

[muted olive]

wait first we gotta resolve the issue about US being the world map

[lunar venture]

Ugh like not huge overlords spending trillions on it because they are stupid right ?

[eternal mango]

@lunar venture right now I don't think it matters what anyone says, you keep shooting down every argument with "wait and see" or "huh cope"

[muted olive]

9 by the looks of it

[lunar venture]

Ugh I don't know anything

[terse dirge]

@lunar venture will AI make ipv6 the norm?

[eternal mango]

Calm the hell down please

[scenic maple]

first you have to make an account then you can get subs or whatever
or if you are in a team then you can get enterprise which has everything u could possibly need
but ep does cost more than normal subs

[muted olive]

first real statement all day

[vivid flower]

And frankly, there's other reasons that the market is contracting a lot of tech companies are horribly bloated and overextended

[median delta]

I have my own account, do you mean a work account?

[scenic maple]

no in both cases you will use personal account

[lunar venture]

This chat then tomorrow breaking news X company released first AGI

[vivid flower]

The writing has been on the wall since twitter massively reduced their workforce and became better as a result

[lunar venture]

Now y'all shit your pants

[terse dirge]

@lunar venture will AI eliminate IT legacy systems?

[scenic maple]

i suggest you discuss with support to find out what method if best for you

[west lynx]

https://help.hackthebox.com/en/articles/5986762-contacting-htb-support

[vivid flower]

Companies simply don't need to employ a massive workforce of useless eaters

[lunar venture]

I am pretty sure it will create more complex systems

That we won't be able to understand

[scenic maple]

we? who is we

[terse dirge]

Will AI make temple os the standard server os @lunar venture ?

[lunar venture]

Shit that we don't understand and we playing with fire

[alpine pumice]

AI literally can't come up with novel ideas to do this, it is limited to our own knowledge

[lunar venture]

And y'all don't care

Untill blows on yall

[eternal mango]

Right, @lunar venture if you want to discuss this great, but you need to give people a chance to respond

[vivid flower]

Accelerate

[muted olive]

itll force people to use void

[eternal mango]

Not just shoot them down with "cope" or "no"

Want to continue on the topic, great

[terse dirge]

Maybe AI isn't so bad then

[alpine pumice]

it ain't skynet

[lunar venture]

Depends which models you even have your hands into

[rapid badger]

AGI in 6 months bro,
I swear

[knotty iron]

this is beautiful

[scenic maple]

trust me bro we have used more ai subs then you have been alive in years 😩

[lunar venture]

Oh yeah ? You work in open ai then so you must know inside stuff

[muted olive]

anyone who has an adult brain which can comprehend what's being said to them 50 times can understand 🤣

[lunar venture]

It's pretty simple shit mane

Nothing complicated

Shit self improved with time

It just become better

[muted olive]

AI is nothing complicated?

wow

[lunar venture]

Basic explanation

[muted olive]

okay, tell me what logistic regression is

[lunar venture]

Eventually we won't understand wtf it's even doing

[knotty iron]

so... system administration. anyone into that or just me?

[scenic maple]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-funny-funny-cat-gif-18137635378842980624

[muted olive]

no googling

[lunar venture]

Because human are limited

[eternal mango]

You already don't understand

[muted olive]

@lunar venture since you know AI so well

[lunar venture]

You think open AI ceo even understand how it works

They mention they don't understand

[terse dirge]

But how will it "get better" if there's no more chips to go around or resources?

[scenic maple]

open ai is billions almost trillions in debt tho

[lunar venture]

The advanced there shi they don't understand it just happens

[vivid flower]

Lol i believe it

[scenic maple]

and their revenue is no way close to their earnings

if they could replace humans they would be making trillions not loosing

[eternal mango]

@lunar venture you are not listening, to anyone that is responding to you. You are simply responding with nonsense. Either start making sense, or stop making noise.

Last warning

[scenic maple]

like ai?

its ok, this is amusing

i feel like redhat is getting old

[alpine pumice]

i'm convinced wintercato is just ragebaiting

[eternal mango]

Ok, PG13, language like that is not acceptable, bye

[vivid flower]

Thats not a high bar to clear

[lunar venture]

Do I have to make a English essay to explain this shit better cuz I don't want to waste my time if y'all just joking imma just write like that

[terse dirge]

This is by far the worst bait you've put out

[scenic maple]

why dont u just move on man

[muted olive]

aw :(

[scenic maple]

lets not dicuss ai

[alpine pumice]

use ai to summarize it

[scenic maple]

there are better things to do in the world than arguing with people on discord

[lunar venture]

That's how the pentagon been doing their paperwork now

[scenic maple]

maybe try gardening

[vivid flower]

If you have a functioning intellect that can handle abstract thought , then you are ahead of the competition

[terse dirge]

@lunar venture is the MCflurry machine broken?

He was farming you too?

all jokes aside ai wont take ur job

No need for that language either..

He'll have better success in tryhackme with his "bait" because they'll agree with him
