guys if i bought silver annual to i get two attempts for cpts?

[magic blade]

Hello ppls

guys i just bought silver annual do i get two attempts for cjca?

[obtuse fern]

each voucher comes with 2 attempts; you don't get 2 vouchers for a single exam

[magic blade]

How about for the CJCA

[static bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/facepalm-really-stressed-mad-angry-gif-16109475

[magic blade]

what is this?

[static bloom]

virus

[obtuse fern]

i believe silver comes with a voucher for CJCA and a voucher for CPTS, CDSA, or CWES; so 2 separate vouchers - same rule applies though

[magic blade]

Ok thank you !!!!!

[subtle plover]

I have free cubes for hackthebox academy on https://sigma.xre0us.io

for all of HTB's exams the voucher gets you 2 attempts for the exam so long as you submit something

do you tried with -Pn ?

Ah ok I’m assuming it’s a connection issue rather than firewall. I did indeed

I ran nmap -sV -sC -Pn -ip address-

Good night homie

[carmine pecan]

Found a picture of me with a cat

[vital current]

why some boxes doesn't let you scan using your own box, and you have to start the web base linux

[obtuse fern]

Sounds like an issue on your end

[vital current]

been doing several boxes without issues

and ping does not work on this one, but when I start the linux box (parrot box) on htb, that one can talk to the target

[drifting mural]

How do I speak to support/people who handle payments?

[west lynx]

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

[obtuse fern]

^ following instructions here @drifting mural

[obtuse fern]

It helps if you provide any context, like the box name. Not all boxes respond to pings, but you said it does when you start the pwnbox. Are you connected to the proper VPN for the box youre trying.
Starting point is different from machines is different from prolabs

[vital current]

I am doing Nmap Scripting Engine section.
The target is up, and I can get to it from the pwnbox, but using my own is not working. I use my own box for everything, but seems that this "room" and the last one have some restrictions or I need a different vpn for them, I mean you can try, ping is allowed from pwnbox but not for my box (vpn)

[obtuse fern]

So its a module, #modules, I dont recall any issues running my own machine for that module. Also they're called sections or labs, not rooms for academy. Rooms is thm speak.

You should be able to use the regular academy vpn

[supple plume]

💯

[sharp shuttle]

show me your power levels

[dusky jacinth]

uhhhhh

erm

[sharp shuttle]

ill start then

[dusky jacinth]

gulp

holy shit dude spit it out

[sharp shuttle]

Doctors, lawyers, 'entrepreneurs', engineers; they all willingly sacrifice their dignity for an opportunity to live as functional slaves in exchange for a modicum of social capital.

These people are not truly productive; they just want to larp as if they are.

What they truly want is high izzat, or social credit.
They have no honour. They're rats. Parasites.

This is precisely how an entire society stagnates and dies.

The more bovine, bureaucratic minded dullards that occupy society, the less productive it becomes, all this to say, the state of cybersecurity is experiencing this issue more and more with people cheating on certification assessments and man are we seeing it play out

one thing i like about this ram shortage is that is forces optimization in new coding endeavors, which could be a return to meritocracy

[rapid badger]

[dusky jacinth]

Interesting take on the RAM shortage

it's true no doubt

[sharp shuttle]

Flagship going back to 2015 ram

will be interesting

[dusky jacinth]

As for people cheating, I've never met someone irl who I know for a fact did not get a cert legit. Though, I bet those are interesting encounters

[signal mica]

Me when a tall slim blonde between the ages of 28-37 enters a klub

[dusky jacinth]

I couldn't imaging working with someone like that

[sharp shuttle]

most of the people in this discord with a cert next to their name cheated

its obvious

[dusky jacinth]

Oh you're counting them?

[sharp shuttle]

I am always keen on it

[meager kernel]

Damn deep conversation

[sharp shuttle]

There is reason i dont put any of my htb certs on my account

[dusky jacinth]

I just assumed if they didn't say something witty they weren't real

that's my basis

it works 100% of the time

[signal mica]

How does one cheat on cert? You ask for external help during the timeframe of pentest?

[dusky jacinth]

yeah

[sharp shuttle]

You buy a walkthrough

[dusky jacinth]

or that

[sharp shuttle]

Writeup*

[dusky jacinth]

or for like comptia you just buy the answers

[meager kernel]

I like how you used the word izzat

[sharp shuttle]

OSCP is plagued with this issue

[dusky jacinth]

Industry wise these dont get updated? Like change the chall steps a lil bit

[dusky jacinth]

like it's too easy to cheat on it or smthn

[sharp shuttle]

OSCP has been largely unchanged its entire lifespan

all thats changed is a small chain was added for AD

but its easy as fuck

[signal mica]

Wait what

How is that even poss

[dusky jacinth]

whut

[signal mica]

Tech changes on a 6 month basis atleast

[sharp shuttle]

How does it surprise you? Offsec has not innovated AT ALL

[dusky jacinth]

Back when my Dad took it it was still the shit

[signal mica]

Yes but technology has

[sharp shuttle]

dude most of the boxes on htb are the same old attacks

[dusky jacinth]

ig it is kinda still the shit from an HR perspective

[sharp shuttle]

over and over and over

[dusky jacinth]

Like back before some pretty popular tools back in the day

[meager kernel]

Yea

[rapid badger]

Bro go see what's going on in universities. Students writing their projects with chat gpt and profs checking it using chat gpt. Good times ahead

[signal mica]

I agree but arent certs infrastructure pentesting, like a medium sized corpo that you pwn

[dusky jacinth]

and we always wonder if it was harder then or now to be a real hacker

[sharp shuttle]

lol no

pro labs dont even capture reality

[meager kernel]

ChatGPT checking ChatGPT essays and crowning itself the best

[dusky jacinth]

there's so many more obstacles now, but also we have way more robust tooling

[meager kernel]

insert Obama giving medal to himself

[signal mica]

Well i hold 0 certs so i really had no idea, thats just how i imagined it

[sharp shuttle]

The reality is just about all pentesting is simply AD misconfigs and lazy IT not updating stacks

[dusky jacinth]

but back then there were more major exploits, although far far less tooling

[sharp shuttle]

thats ALL it is

[dusky jacinth]

and computers were still a little simpler

[rapid badger]

and catfishing

🙂

[dusky jacinth]

"simpler"

[sharp shuttle]

My point is simply that the people coming into this field will be the same people who rubberstamp everything because they are doing this job in bad faith

and we are all worse off for it

[molten bobcat]

AHEM

[dusky jacinth]

okay brother im listening

SPIT IT OUT ALREADY

[meager kernel]

It's cold today

Very cold

[molten bobcat]

So the client received a spreadsheet containing executions of a suspicious process that performed exfiltration

[sharp shuttle]

its a cold world

[dusky jacinth]

mhmhmhm

[molten bobcat]

I submitted a similar spreadsheet containing the same information.

[meager kernel]

Idk why I remembered a very weird meme when you said that line

[dusky jacinth]

mhmhmhm

[molten bobcat]

The client asked why one of the spreadsheets had more lines in it than the other.

I-

[dusky jacinth]

mhmhmhm

so you're client?

[molten bobcat]

They demanded we review the contents of the spreadsheets and explain the discrepancy

[dusky jacinth]

are they perhaps maybe

[molten bobcat]

No

They're client

[dusky jacinth]

hm what's the word

[sharp shuttle]

is the client here in the room with us

[rapid badger]

😄

[molten bobcat]

So I took the fucking content from both files and DIFF'D THEM

[dusky jacinth]

mhmhm

[molten bobcat]

Not only did they count the wrong number of lines in the document

[dusky jacinth]

mhmhmhm

[sharp shuttle]

imagine diffing a spreadsheet

[molten bobcat]

But both documents contain the exact same information but in different places.

[signal mica]

with diff command like the linux command diff?

[sharp shuttle]

imagine dragons

[dusky jacinth]

mhmhmhm

[molten bobcat]

Yeah

[sharp shuttle]

i need to puff my fum and chase some dragons

[molten bobcat]

I took the content of one column and diff'd it from another spreadsheets column

[dusky jacinth]

get you some

I gotta chase robots

[signal mica]

Brath you need to stop with the fum propaganda

[dusky jacinth]

holy cow this update is taking forever

[signal mica]

ITS AUNTIES CHOICE

[molten bobcat]

Through this, I verified that the command lines I reported are the exact same thing as the other analyst

[signal mica]

SHE IS JUST THE BEST

[dusky jacinth]

ohp.

[molten bobcat]

So the documents are effectively the same information wise but I used a different query to acquire my sheet and thus it looks different

[sharp shuttle]

are you FUMing?

[molten bobcat]

But the client demanded we waste time

And confirm that the documents we provided

[dusky jacinth]

because you're client

[molten bobcat]

Are the same

No

[dusky jacinth]

they are

[molten bobcat]

We are not the fucking client

[dusky jacinth]

holy shit let me finish

fuck

[molten bobcat]

When someone says "the client"

It's not self referential

[dusky jacinth]

i'm aware

you're client however

[signal mica]

Fear using m

[molten bobcat]

Are you trying to say "your" client

As in MY client?

[dusky jacinth]

i'm sorry?

no

you're client

[rapid badger]

Wait Am I the client or you ?

[molten bobcat]

So you're saying "you are client"

[dusky jacinth]

no

[molten bobcat]

Yes?

[sharp shuttle]

Im the server

[dusky jacinth]

you're client

[molten bobcat]

Cuz that's what you're means you fuck

[signal mica]

[rapid badger]

Nah I cant be the client, I am fookn broke

[molten bobcat]

[dusky jacinth]

so this client your talking about

[molten bobcat]

[meager kernel]

you're attitude towards you're client is quiet aggressive

[sharp shuttle]

I'm getting a stroke reading this chat cause the amount of people saying you're client

[molten bobcat]

Anyway

[dusky jacinth]

your sure you don'tneed some medicine?

or perhaps a FUM

[sharp shuttle]

[molten bobcat]

[dusky jacinth]

[meager kernel]

I'm one of the newer gens here

[meager kernel]

IKR

[molten bobcat]

Brath and I used to be enemies

[sharp shuttle]

im not an OG too

[molten bobcat]

This is because I had a stick up my ass

[meager kernel]

They're talking like this is a street gang and they're OGs

And we're new generation

[sharp shuttle]

i think ive been an enemy with everyone here at least once or twice

[dusky jacinth]

I'm the stick

[sharp shuttle]

well its one sided

[meager kernel]

You go up people's ass?

[sharp shuttle]

i dont even think about them

[molten bobcat]

Eh, I guess this is about as close as I've ever been to "hacker culture"

Except it was by talking to people here and really not about the htb platform itself lol

[meager kernel]

I imagine it would be worse in unmoderated discord servers

Which are not public

[molten bobcat]

This was just a sorta convenient place to gather

[signal mica]

Choto mate, how long as htb been up for

[sharp shuttle]

Lol i love it when you kiddos make your lil discords and have a shit load of in fighting then come back here

[signal mica]

As a platform

[sharp shuttle]

so funny

[molten bobcat]

I have my own but because it's only full of people I trust and care for

[meager kernel]

7-9 years approx I think?

[molten bobcat]

I don't have to do a ton of moderation

[signal mica]

9 years atleast

[meager kernel]

Bro I was TRULY active on discord during lockdown
Had a whole server back then

[sharp shuttle]

And how did it end?

[meager kernel]

I was 14 at that time

[meager kernel]

Uhhh basically after Covid, everyone got busy with their life

And friendships drifted apart

[molten bobcat]

I'm still close with most of the friends I've made

[sharp shuttle]

thats better than the fighting

[meager kernel]

Mind you, it was all online friends

[sharp shuttle]

online friends are just as real

[molten bobcat]

I dislike losing friends so I do my best to keep in touch

[signal mica]

I never indulged myself in digital beef

[molten bobcat]

[molten bobcat]

[meager kernel]

[molten bobcat]

I just assume that's when I'll stop

[sharp shuttle]

its more unlikely now that mods are not insane people

[molten bobcat]

That's not true @balmy basalt isn't insane

Wait I meant to say he is

[sharp shuttle]

i would never claim wolfy was insane

[molten bobcat]

I would for a joke

[signal mica]

Cant call that guy a dog, its in his name

[molten bobcat]

Plus he has a Santa hat

Which is required

[sharp shuttle]

You read Chaos?

They talk about the interview Jolly West has with Jack Ruby before his trial

alone

and afterwards Jack Ruby no longer behaved the same and reversed everything he had previoulsy said about the killing of Lee Harvey Oswald

[limber arch]

Anyone deal with this error before?

Then when I hit Reload I get rate limited

[maiden anvil]

💯 absolutely Dr. Louis Jolyon West thats the guy im talkin bout

he definitely melted jack ruby's brain no question about it

[maiden anvil]

it goes super deep

[dusky jacinth]

Unbelievably so

The CIA was involved in the killings of the Sharon Tate family

The assassination of JFK

And so much more

Also the possible “mentorship” or more accurately, grooming, of Charles Manson

[maiden anvil]

and the clinic they were operating even up until the 90s or 2000s or something

[dusky jacinth]

Yup

[maiden anvil]

very very naughty CIA

[dusky jacinth]

The Hate Ashbury Free Health Clinic

Where they experimented on people with LSD

lets also not forget Iran-Contra

Or watergate

How do i use it tho like training modules i get it then doing it irl i just stare and i feel like a monkey on a keyboard

[civic lance]

For HTB?

Idk what HTB module your doing nor context

But programming in general is pretty simple

If it’s not then just embrace the frustration

And build projects with said language

[lofty warren]

sup

[civic lance]

And read open source code

Too see how the things can be pieced together

That’s bout it

[lofty warren]

[gaunt gale]

There’s a lot of articles online about how quantum computing will end hacking

[sharp shuttle]

written by utterly infantile disney adults, yes

[gaunt gale]

Do people really believe this?

[sharp shuttle]

nobody who understands trinary is threatened by quantum computers, they are largely a meme

[gaunt gale]

Why do people believe it tho? It sounds like a sales pitch

[sharp shuttle]

everything is about speculation, speculative markets, people who dont understand anything and have money are the target demographic for "new and emerging" tech

there is financial incentive to make articles like that

[terse dirge]

Sounds like the same scare about AI and software devs

[sharp shuttle]

thats not a scare though

[gaunt gale]

Ok but what happens when quantum computing doesn’t end hacking?

Like when quantum computers become common and hacking is just as prevalent

[sharp shuttle]

end hacking is incorrect. hacking is a mindset

you mean encryption

and it wont

[terse dirge]

Quantum computers are only really used for complicated/specific calculations. It could be used for cryptography or breaking cryptography but that's it

[gaunt gale]

Right I know but what happens when people find out ending cyber attacks using quantum computing is a pipe dream?

Do they kill themselves?

Do they complain?

Do they feel ripped off?

Like people are putting their eggs in the quantum basket already

[sharp shuttle]

queuemark, with love, are you not aware of the current state of the real economy and job market?

we are way past that point

[alpine pumice]

i don't think the masses really care about cyber attacks

[gaunt gale]

Ok

[alpine pumice]

billybob still gonna buy kaspersky and tplink

[sharp shuttle]

also governments are not going to use quantum computers for that when FVEY already has tech companies (software), and China has hardware, to do that bidding

breaking encryption alread exists because of platform keys

you are thinking 30 years in the past

to be real with you

[gaunt gale]

But these articles are from like a year ago

[sharp shuttle]

just in case you didnt know, windows in its entirety is malware

[gaunt gale]

Ok

I use linux

[sharp shuttle]

so why should we care about quantum computers?

[gaunt gale]

Ya ok

[sharp shuttle]

thats fine, and FVEY has all the 0days for that too

it doesnt matter what you use, you are not protected from governments

just your peers

[alpine pumice]

what if you use templeos brath

[sharp shuttle]

then you have god and anime on your side

kinda hard to dispute

[alpine pumice]

https://tenor.com/view/power-of-god-and-anime-vine-pose-gif-12440878

i wonder if anyone has seriously done a security audit on templeos

[gaunt gale]

I mean so in 10 years will people feel ripped off when AI doesn’t replace all jobs and quantum computers don’t end hacking?

[sharp shuttle]

i mean yeah, and they government got to him...

what ceald is saying is you may as well just use wsl

something of a trap

[mystic harbor]

[heady sage]

A trap you say?

[sharp shuttle]

NEETmaxxing is a double edged sword, but yeah you will feel unfulfilled

even if you can grind your dumb vidya escapism

thats why you should judge people who are top of the LB in games

[heady sage]

So the way I escape from that, is to keep doing what I'm doing and grind infosec right?

[sharp shuttle]

infosec is kinda video game, but you learn real skills

not dipshit metas programmed by even more dipshit devs

actually its kinda the same shit

how ironic

[pearl spruce]

Heartbreaking fact.

[silver forge]

I was once #1 in one online multiplayer game. Not just figuratively, but literally.

[pearl spruce]

You are already a goat

[silver forge]

It was more like meditation to me. I was so used to the game I didn't have to think at all while playing, so I was more like just chilling.

[cerulean bloom]

[pearl spruce]

I get bored easily in games

[sharp shuttle]

i think alot of us have been there, i was in the number one clan in warframe for the first 2 years. won every event

10 people clan*

[pearl spruce]

actually I feel that those who get high ranks in games, this thing can reflect their success in some other good things in life.

[vivid flower]

I'm noticing myself getting worse at fighting games as I get older

[pearl spruce]

Just a point of view

[silver forge]

I played Subspace (later "Continuum" after PriitK took over) when it was owned by Virgin Games, and they tried to build the first esports league. I just got into the esports playing when they folded.. But I continued playing and especially on Trench Wars I played a lot. At my high point I had 3000:1 w/l ratio.

[cerulean bloom]

I've gotten #1 on a fortnite game

[vivid flower]

That's not really that hard

[pearl spruce]

box fight?

[pearl spruce]

[cerulean bloom]

no

[cerulean bloom]

cough on the second game I started playing cough

[sharp shuttle]

i can assure you spending my time in warframe, ignoring my responsibilities, and escaping the real world, did nothing but ruin my relationships and potential. I made a couple of friends sure, but most of them are absolute fucking losers now.

[cerulean bloom]

I call it an achievement /j

[sharp shuttle]

there is not a single video game that is live today that is not designed to waste your time and take your money

dont fucking bother,

I'm playing Warframe now, mostly doing the weeklies and events... I have all mods, all arcanes, almost full codex( ugh bugs), all frames and weapons except excal prime, ...

there is something for me to do when they release something new but between the releases my interest drops

[pearl spruce]

yeah it can be bad in some aspects, surely. but it gives a feeling that you reach the goal you want to reach. You have consistency.

Actually being obsessive to something is common when the real world doesn't fit your needs so your brain seek more stimulating thing which lead to obsessiveness.

[sharp shuttle]

my only video game these days is hearthstone, and i play where winds meet with my wife a few times a week

[vivid flower]

Really agree with you , but there are some gems yet

[silver forge]

Warframe with their songs and fashion is banger, it's not just about grind

[sharp shuttle]

tyc going to share my opinion on what alexander said in dm

[vivid flower]

Whenever I become jaded , something will come out of nowhere and I will find myself enjoying it a whole lot

[pearl spruce]

Gym helps a lot in this situation.

[vivid flower]

Games movies you gotta be open to stuff like that

[pearl spruce]

Sure, but not in obsessive way

[vivid flower]

Ok

[sharp shuttle]

tell me if you agree

[pearl spruce]

having multiple things to enjoy is healthy

[vivid flower]

Oh yeah , there are definitely some hobbies in games that are designed to suck your life away

Things that don't respect your time

Doom scrolling is like that too

You have to curate what you take in an or else you will find yourself eating slop

[pearl spruce]

wdym?

Yeah but they should be different, like being social is essential for emotional health tho.
