Delivery drivers don't care what you ordered
I finally got my cake and mint chocolate chip ice cream life is good praise the lord

Betrayal!
Oh, it’s goblin.
Et tu brute?
Yup, it's me
Last time I was here you was gone.
I came back a while ago, but feel like burying my head and leaving again now
Was about to try and ban myself, but was too afraid I'd end up actually banning Ryan
My / key is not allowed to be used anymore.
Well it’s nice to see ya again. You’re one of the few people I’m somewhat familiar with here.
I can get on board with alright.

Hey everyone! I’m currently free and looking to join a CTF team if anyone has an opening. I specialize in cryptography and have solved all Hard and Insane crypto challenges on Hack The Box.
Totally cleared block list.
If people have to put up with my bullshit, I'll do the same
- all other CTF sites like pico CTF and so on
If anyone does speak to echo, please do tell them it was not on purpose.
Today was not a great day.
A chip bag
question: if you finish an entire path for a cert, but haven't taken said cert, do you still get a badge or anything that says i completed the material ?
Yes
You do
so I can show I actually DID material then right?
The content is refelcted on your academy transcript and you will be awarded a badge that you can share
@minor heart
feels so good when you reach for your empty can of monster and there's still some left
And back to sad when you realize its just the cigarette you put out 2h ago and now you have the taste of wet ashtray in your mouth
Was thinking exactly that
Afternoon all, just wanted to take a minute to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy year, most of all good health!
These days people don't spend much time or thought on some personal words to their friends and family, they just copy and paste some random messages and send it on, pretending it is their own.
So, after all we've been though together this year, I want to thank you for your friendship and wish you a happy 2018!
You are the best gymnastics group that Glasgow could ask for.
Best wishes, Janet.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

meery christmas
finally i figured out this, i use some code and convert into URL but it kept giving me a syntax error
the problem was... a space somewhere
blankspace
but burpsuite is cool
Holy crap https://github.com/onekey-sec/unblob wipes the floor over binwalk and foremost
Maybe just circumstance, but damn
is that the linux equivalent to winrar?
back when i was using windows, winrar was king
No, they're tools used to find and extract files from a given binary
Like when analysing a firmware image
ah ok
binwalk is fair and works, but unblob seems to have done a more thorough job
I’m planning on switching platforms
To pentesterlab
Ok
What height? 2 inch to 3 inch?
Wait there is more?!
lol
Always
Yeah it's pretty good, good luck on your journey
thats crazy to think about for me xD
opnsense is a distribution based off of FreeBSD
You run it as an edge into your network to handle traffic and routing
It essentially is your router, firewall and traffic management node
edge in network
Edge: where your network transitions from LAN to your internet uplink
Yeah, I have a lot of learning to do
What's your goal?
I just read a module on HTB about Network Security
and Im like lemme try this thing that they mentioned
idk what game to buy nothing attracts me
so Im just freestyling
Then go and read on the thing that they mentioned
A lab without a purpose is pretty pointless unless your goal is to learn about setting up a lab, networking, routing, etc
What interested you most in that module?
Imma be honest
Just for the sake of learning and messing around
But the tools they mentioned intrigued me
Like John The Ripper maybe
And wireshark
But I guess going deeper on the topics that the module has mentioned so, I better prepare myself for CJCA I guess?
The Network Foundations path does associate with the CJCA path, as shown on the module page further down https://academy.hackthebox.com/module/details/289
Maybe check out some of those related modules
There's a good number of related fundamental modules available
You do you
Okay, aslong as Im learning I guess
skip everything, do CPTS
trust me it's worth it
straight to business none of that blue team ahh type shi
That's not helpful
Go at your own pace
You can challenge yourself if you feel able and confident. It can be good to challenge yourself even if you aren't comfortable
But take your time, and build those core skills.
ah my bad then
but don't stay in the fundamentals too long
Fundamentals lead to intermediate to etc
Come on
Yes challenge y ourself
But pressuring someone new to over achieve based upon your current experience level is just not helpful
Whatever
Take it at your own pace @civic lance
Ik that failing is very important tho
You're the only one driving your learning path
mmhm, failure drives you to learn and try again
You have the ability to pick your pace. There is no right or wrong speed.
That's both a boon and a bane
Perseverance, patience and flexibility through what you learn will get you far
Good hunting 🙂
pwn all the things find some bugs in some wildcards
..and don't mind the noise
ufw
yeah ufw
Idk how to work with Free-BSD

Ok, I guess someone else can take that then
OPNsense is straight forward with a web ui, ufw or iptables for CLI
Did you ever do code review? @eternal mango
Yes
Was part of my roles over my previous 3 positions
Useful when bug hunting too
one time I had to review a C++ codebase i wanted to absolutely DIE
Google has the best C++ style guide
I was thinking of learning to code review php
I mean.. code review is basically coding, but backwards
sparkle activation
What ur homelab look like?
But I’ve lost motivation these past few days because I’m stuck on xpath injection
You have to examine and build up the abstract of the project, be able to associate between different requirements and flows. It's pretty zen.
such a cursed web exploit right?
yup
I KNOW RIGHT
doesn't make sense, syntax is straight up from hell
I did offer to give some advice
I would like that very much
Let's chat tomorrow if you're able
Sounds good
Will be evening, hours or to before now like 2200 UTC
Anyway
I'll give you a ping if you're about
If I can nudge a bit, would be happy to
Will start as an ear to see where you are, but yeah
You will get it
even if it hurts
🤣
I don’t want to simply go about simply doing the module I want to understand it
You will
Both
is there a module for php and code review like that?
Code reviews are very chilled
If you're new to the process, make sure to choose a language you're very familiar with
that's true it's comforting to have all the code in front of you
Do we have any gentoo linux users in here?
nah theyure all debugging rn
bruh 💀
High in protein those bugs
i just saw an explanation of the term on youtube about this word
the gentoo linux user is accompanied by a gun while interacting with any technical devices or humans xD
hand leak
I used to use it for a few years a long time ago, when I still loved wasting time on stuff. It was fun at the time (it was around the time when the installation was still stage 2 if I remember correctly), but now that I am older and just want to get things done, I would never use it again.
It's a mirror @sturdy thistle
so it's my hand?
Ok I'll laugh then
ok 😛
Current me doesn't understand anymore why I enjoyed compiling absolutely everything from source. It just feels weird now
But I must say that using Gentoo taught me a lot of stuff at the time
Kids these days won't understand :p
I also tried LFS
I wonder if it's still a thing
i dont know what that is
Linux from scratch. If you want to really waste a lot of time to get some basic shit working, go for it
Centos is dead?
In the 2020s
A while ago already
wait until Dollaros drops
Linux has come a long way, but I still prefer macOS on the desktop
i think im using enough time as it is already learning the boxes in the HTB labs
They are just on different levels on the desktop
damn, going for the big guns uh
I Kind of am on a time crunch to learn new things
how come?
My academy sub runs out soon
ohh
And along with it any access I had to CWEE
CWEE is from hell i think
I promised myself I would finish CWEE before I ran out on time on my academy sub
Buy more
Your rich
lmao
Uhhh no I’m not
I signed up and everything, but I don't think I will have time to try the platform out soon enough. Between the day job, family and a side project I am planning on turning into a business, it's hard to fine the time to play with that stuff 🙁
anyone for vc 
I would sure
academy has peak moments
You got a few months yet right?
Call me up
just hopped in htb vc instead
I do. It runs out in June
bro you've got ages
I reckon you could crack one out in that time
I believe in you
10% more
😭
lmao
Damn
or just use the time to hop about between modules, and have some fun while learning
or don't and do something else, you're the one who knows how best you learn 🙂
Guys is there any way to hack on iOS?
of course
of course
of course biscuits
How
We just can't tell
I wanna hack a game closed 8 ball
i'm afraid
Called*
oh we don't condone illegal stuff here

That's what Robin Hood said
then we can borrow a ban too
Oh wait, no he didn't
Bruh it was a simple question
bruh it was a simple answer
anything is possible
i love the bruh preface
hey bruh
True, I just don’t know how to

don't tempt me
hahahah
😄
ok one last coffee
Can it play doom?
is it 16 billion crabs?
how to convert crabs to instructions per seconds?
or maybe crabs is a measure of frequency?
@cloud osprey is crabs a PDF or a CDF?
So.. a crab can store a semi-nibble?
We need clicks per second
Nah nevermind just accept crabs will never outpace 5G

NoSQL is confusing
Store map reduce repeat
😅
Haven't done much with it, but it is different for sure
Think used it when playing with Twitter firehose years ago for sentiment analysis
nosql is just slapping things together with glue basically haha
any idea what % of ownership challenges take up now?
VACATION
New to HTB? Need help getting started? Check out this article for a full introduction to the platform!
No overview for point calc at the moment
you coulkd get this
But it's not gone ignored
yeah i know the formula was more curious what % it would end up with from just doing machines, im thinking of trying to climb up ranks a little before i go back to academy modules
hmmmm
wtf
i have no idea about that grinder
yeah its like up there up there now
its only worth if you really love coffee anyways
Still diluted in the percentage
like REALLY REALLY
Hey could someone help me
just ask
Im trying to do the Meow Machine ctf
I did the Cap Machine yesterday and everything was working
I am connected to the Starting Point VPN Using OpenVPN, but every time that I run an nmap scan, it fails
like absolutely nothing happens
does nmap give you a message, i would follow what it suggests
Challenges account for approximately 37% I think
no message
The rest of the ownership percentage is from active machines
challenge superiority gang rise up
oh wow, that means i might actually need to do alot of challenges
not that i mind i mean there alot easier usually, but still thats alot of challenges
as long as nothings on polys level again it should be okay
is vmstack still active?
that challenge was nightmare fuel
or whatever it was called
i also remember there's a sandbox escape pwn which is p cool
i cant find it searching unless its called something else
15 active machines, 130 active challenges, so (15+(15/2)+(130/10)) =~ 35, 130/10 = 13 and 13/35 =~ 0.37
I think
smh making me log into htb

noooo
where do I send a image of my errors
https://app.hackthebox.com/challenges/NFTDRM i think this is the one i was on about (for pwn)
v cool chall
so to tired for math so punched this into gemmini
Best to ask in #starting-point @sturdy bluff you may not be able to send images due to rank requirements
Do your best to describe your issue
just boxes is 63.3% which is pro hacker
okay thank you guys
anything higher is challenges progress
hopefully my problems will be fixed
We now have a lot more than 130 active challenges sadly
sadly for ProHackers trying to reach EliteHacker without learning Quantum Computing I guess

Merry Christmas and a happy hacking new year everyone!
Any of you buy the “Nmap Network Scanning” by Gordon Fyodor Lyon? I’m aware HTB has an entire section but I would like one more in depth but I’m unsure if it’s still as accurate as it once was, seeing how it’s 16 years old lol
changed number in gemini comes out at 66.67 according to gemini
but used to be a load less challenges as well
nah its just interesting to know tbh, like i missed stuff as well
but yeah i think its to do with active challenges not retiring as often
yeah its kinda cooked due to that imo
alot harder these days to get high ranks
but thats what seasons is for
like theres some challenges from 2017 still active
emma can you check dms???
but its still good fun haha
Wait seriously Emma, it's 15 per page on machines too lol
If the list fits on the page I just assume it's 10 lol
its always been 20 active 😭
No, per page
Yeah, it is
i havent really given that attention
Was wondering why there were only 15 machines
...but there are 20 obvs
So with 20 machines and 195 challenges that's 38.7% from challenges for ownership percentage
Hey, guys! I'm new here.
starting to think i should be trying to finish these challenge before i finish more boxes now haha
On odds you're less likely to lose percentage from challenges I guess, but that's a lot of challenges
yeah its alot
but there also generally simpler
challenges >>>
Well no ifs or buts, percentage from challenges will deteriorate slower full stoo
this is not true
mean in ratio
Hello friends
challenges can and frequently are far more difficult than a box of equivalent difficulty
challenges have less guessing but that's where the "easier" ends imo
I am surviving the holidays
like 2-5 stupidly hard ones and 100 somewhat simple ones
2 more to go..
You lose..like 2-3% per retired box?
Sir I have received an interesting Christmas gift
Let's see what 2026 brings
i predict around... 52 new boxes
just a gut feeling
Hey there
im vibecoding rn and its so fun
What're you working on?
Report generator
to sorta battle Sysreptor
this is the base for the report template builder ...hated creating templated with MD
its integrated within the application
no this is what i hand to clients when i dont get my scope
hah
but yeah this is the template builder itself. dont have to worry about HTML/MD/CSS
Look forward to seeing what you come up with 🙂
<controversial and misleading statement made out of pure boredom> discuss.
6 is better than 7
Thanks! Essentially it will have a standard MS world like editor, as well as the ability to easy collab, tool imports etc
I think the biggest plus that I have right now though is the fact that it doesn’t use markdown HTML or CSS to create a report templates. I’m sorry that was annoying as hell.
Hahah, I spent so long trying to make a generator for a cert report years ago, so much so that I almost ran out of time, gave up on the generator and just did it by hand
But without time constraint, do it!
follow the white rabbit
Why when I watch a movie on a pirate site, the video just buffers. but when its anime everything runs smoothly.....
Guess anime compresses better compared to live film?
real reason is your internet and/or computer suck
bad upload on servers
get plex
what do you think you're doing when you're streaming?
Definitely doing legal things
why would they you put content you own on it
Oh said anything about buying....
legal
well yeah if you're going to do illegal stuff then it's illegal
Mannn if im on a pirate website, why would I buy the actual content 😭
And torrenting is way more risky then just using the site
cool cool
oh cool
torrenting is risky? lol
..and lower entropy compared to live action, thus much easier to compress
it isnt?
not if you have braincells
yeah Imma dumbass
It isn't that risky. Just don't run sketchy executables
My dad told me he is gifting me a telescope with a super simple OSINT challenge. He just handed me a piece of paper with a string of numbers and letters broken up by spaces and dashes and the words "North Star" on it. My first thought upon seeing the hint was an Adam West-era Batman-esque "To the computer!"
Mourning star
Sounds like you got a cool dad
A solid piece of medieval weaponry LOL
curiosity goblin you doing much SE stuff these days?
On and off yeah, got a few projects on the burner, but not directly on HTB platforms
Yeah I was really surprised that he gave me an OSINT challenge. I was not expecting that but I'm not complaining
its rare having a dad into things like that
Yeah. Back in the 80s he was something of not necessarily a hacker himself, but an electronics engineer, but he ended up going into a radically different profession
elaborate on "radically different position"
He's in the medical field now
I wouldn't care to say
ok
I think I have the exports covered
You haven't named it yet have you
Name comes last 😅 otherwise it's doomed to the 95% bucket
(mostly jk)
(pours one out for the forgotten projects)
goooooooooood morning


About what?
Mind if I dm?
sure 🙂
ty
I bought VIP+! 
LFS
I haven't mentioned lfs in a while lol
Hello!, can some one tell me how can i contact support to enable the student subscription in HTB academy?
I used to have the student subscription enbled, but now it is no longer available, yet i am using the same univerity email 🙂
Need to speak to a person? Learn how to reach our support via HTB Labs.
@viscid glacier
thankssss
It's great for learning more about Linux, it's certainly not a waste of time, it's a one of a kind learning experience tbh
Locked repo. Name stays behind locked doors until I open it. But 99% chance I rename the rename after renaming the name
@terse dirge I think I'm spending too much time ricing my desktop rather than studying or doing something else 😂
Like whenever I'm on my PC, I always think about ricing it more
I'm turning into a very typical linux user
Oh noes we're not supposed to name a project until it's done?! TIL
Keep going you can do it!
But I have an exam tomorrow, I don't wanna spend whole time ricing
You can do both tho
Gtk theme tho and qt theme
Theme it vro and get some icons
Yea
And then do your terminal;)
I can customize more but gotta learn everything
Yea I wasn't really sure how to customise alacrity
Saw about it yesterday
That's more of customizing your shell. I believe alacritty is a toml file check in /usr/share/alacritty
Yea
I'm not good at code names, I just name it what it does, shrimple. That explains the pile of projects sitting on the disk.
Alacrity.toml
I have to create that file
And write
[window]
decorations = "None"
opacity = 0.7
If there's not a default hen I think there might be an option to dump the default config to .config/alacritty
Yea there isn't any default one
I'll have to make it
Last night I tried it before sleeping, I created alacrity.yml cause that's what I thought it would be
Turns out .yml file is deprecated and .toml works
Wait @supple plume you're still here right?
I thought you got banned by mistake

don't think they rejoined yet
hi guys just wanted to ask im doing the penetration tester module im at the windows lateral movement part. the question where i have to use the sysax automation tool. i have done everything yet i cant get the ilfsereveradm to become admin. did any of yall got stuck here?
codenames are based on themes, most projects take after a genre
ie superheroes
I’m taking an electronics course next semester
Gonna get an electronics kit to help prepare
very cool
Ya friend is sending me one for free
I’m naming mine project tism
After myself
Or project Tylenol
Can i ask about payment issues here for VIP+ subscription? Can't contact a support agent because in the Contact Support tab there is no ask a question button.
Need to speak to a person? Learn how to reach our support via HTB Labs.
@rugged ravine
Okay, it's still not there. I haven't set up any DNS-level adblocking though, i guess i'll just email them. Thank you for the help and direction!
could be some extension blocking it
Happy Name Day Clead
also hard refreshing to clear cache can get things fixed usually (CTRL + SHIFT + R)
I only have one extension that can alter the page, just UBlock Origin. But i will try to do a hard refresh if this still doesn't work.
Aight, ill try that too
That works well for established projects, refreshes, and the likes, but stand alone? Eff it, I'll start naming things after state/national parks, I'll be just as confused when revisiting code 3 months later.
@obtuse fern what will happen if I DM you for no reason whatsoever?
you push me one step closer to the edge
you too
I heard rumors about another AWS outage a day ago
Ooooooooo
😭
I love this
How’s everyone doing? Hope all is well. Will try to keep this somewhat short to respect everyone’s time. Short intro: Newcomer to the HTB community, what we all know as a “script kiddie”, full of questions, concerns, ideas, and a passion for cybersecurity. Two points behind this chat, 1. Just a quick introduction, 2. For any educated/expert/knowledgeable person who possibly has some time to answer some questions involving cybersecurity, HTB, and overall general information, would be greatly helpful and appreciated to connect and discuss. Thanks in advance and blessings to you guys.
Best to just ask your question and hope you don't get trolled
this is discord btw not linkedin so don't worry about trying to be professional lol
Heard brother! I’ve got quite a damn bit honestly
So start with one
Merry christmas everyone
it's still xmas for 2 hours and 42 mins
Axchually due to timezones its impossible to 100% of the world to ever be in the same day, the max is capped at 93.2%
So it was never Xmas and the cake is a lie

ceald someone won our lotto money
I heard 
back to wendy's i guess
a skill issue
I switched off my PC yesterday without disconnecting bluetooth
And today I switched it on
And bluetooth drivers are broken
that wouldn't break the drivers
Again?
Then idk what did
check you error logs in journalctl and dmesg
I did
They don't say anything
How do I check dmesg logs again?
I've checked journalctl already
check the service status for whatever you use for bluetooth
either pipewire or pulse audio have had issues with bluetooth in the past 
Why does everything keep breaking 😭
Also... @dusky jacinth has 5 years of VIP+ now lmao.
Congrats bro.
because you either didn't set it up properly or need to update everything
or both
hey guys, I'm new and want to explore. So I can only have 1 pwnbox per day?
I'll run an update command
I can't start intance lmao
when was the last time you updated your mirrors?
Without a subscription, yes
I downloaded Arch 2 days back
It was already updated
I did a "pacman -Syu" before I did the Archinstall
Silly mode maybe but.. tried doing the same as last time?
Things can be weird, and weirder
Oh so I can't binged the lessons? lol
Last time the errors were cause of fastboot in BIOS and windows
I have already disabled those
Yeah
#general message check this for updating mirrors
But, have you checked it's still disabled?
Again, stupid question
But I'm good at asking those
it shouldn't be an issue since your installation is so new but it wouldn't hurt to get the best mirrors right now
It should be, I'll check it once more
just to add... you should setup sercure boot too after you fix your bluetooth drivers
Highly doubt it's that, but the number of times that nagging idea the back of the head that's just "too damn stupid to be it" has turned out to be it..
I don't have enough fingers
..or thumbs
Tf is reflector
also @meager kernel check your bluez service or bluetooth services
uhhh can I just create my own VM and install Linux so I don't have to pay subscription?
Just the 1 no?
and everything else audio related like pipewire or pulseaudio
yeah that's normally what people do i feel like. the vm will perform way better too.
Wait what happened to the other people who won?
No
Fuck me sideways
Way
Yes, much more customizable but you will need to set it up
it shouldn't be I think unless your bios is weird
which it probably is
It's probably the windows boot manager
Windows' fast boot also messes up with linux
what distro should I use if im a beginner? Any reco's?
Manjaro
You should be able to use grub with windows
But why would that have affected the BIOS?
Windows 10 at least, not so sure about 11+
Have you powered off since last time?
I keep getting this fuckass error @terse dirge
Windows is weird, if fast-boot is on shutting down isn't really shutting down
saves some stuff in the efi
BIOS
why dont i just delete windows 🙏
some voodoo if it's UEFI I guess 
check if the directory exists or file
But have you powered off since last time?
it doesnt
checked yesterday
i did
ls -la /sys/class/bluetooth
create it
and then?
Do motherboards still have batteries to hold volatile memory
mkdir /sys/class/bluetooth
Or is that like dinosaur tech
yes
you mean cmos batteries? ye
....
and then?
No way
you might need to restart the services for bluetooth or they'll restart on their own
if it breaks more i blame you
check in dmesg or journalctl where ever you found those errors
I remember setting up my arch linux, i thought the script that it came with will put itself in the partition i created...
ahh yes, hope a static script it somehow magic 
what the fuck
I AM SUDO
DO AS I SAY
It's an actual thing 0xW1LD I swear
But ok
I was maybe right once, I shouldn't push my luck
learned my lesson 🫡
sudo su then create the directory as root
I mean if your script is smart enough it can probably pull the device ids and use those but in my experience I have to spend several days figuring out why my goddamn drive changes id everytime I boot
no way
what?
What script
it swaps over from nvme1n1 to nvme0n1 every now and then
talking about arch linux install scripts
that means that your sys directories might be all fucked up
, check who they're owned by the only user it'd prevent you is nobody
ls -la /sys | head
yeah I'm confused now, we talking bout multiple things in this chat 
Dead all of then
you talking about reverting to stock?
run this to check the first few entries to see who owns them
or.. however many of you are having problems
also this might be of use @meager kernel https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bluetooth
this chat is really all over the place 
I'm gonna boot into my windows again to fix this
🧉
I read it yesterday
DO NOT DO THAT
What why
YOU WILL MESS UP YOUR SYSTEM
Alright I'll stop
also don't dual boot lol
I only took it as a test till February 1st
If my linux experience till then is good, I'll delete windows and completely move to linux
Till now it's been mostly good
Besides the bluetooth thing
just remove windows now lol
dive in head first
Nah, too much stuff I would have to do
I'll do it tomorrow
After exam
I didn't expect windows to fuck with my linux that badly
@meager kernel try loading the kernel module
How
it's not messing with it
sudo modprobe bluetooth
Oh that
Aight
Oh bluetooth is back
I got it to work
I had to go into windows, disable fastboot then booted linux
And it's back
mod probe you say?
PIECE OF DOGSHIT
Dude
I just went into windows and disabled fastboot
When I booted back into linux, it worked
if no directory in /sys/class/bluetooth then I'd imagine the kernel module didn't load 
Shutting down linux is pretty quick
The moment I press shutdown, it takes less than 2 seconds to shut down my whole PC
just cleanse windows from your system if you think it's causing all these issues 
Soon
Tomorrow probably
you might be able to mount the filesystem in linux I think
Yea but it'll take some tinkering
I'll do it tomorrow with a fresh mind
After exam
I've had issues where sometimes arch fails because of kernel modules not loading, it's not a windows not liking linux issue 😄
nah i just need it for music
@terse dirge one more thing
which one is better or more beautiful
idk, just use kvantum or ngw-look
don't use something that's an all in one as in matching ALL the colors because it won't look as good if you manually match the colors with another theme or somethin
oh one last thing
it's nice to have some contrast it's what makes linux ricing an art
i made my alacritty transparent
but its only transparent if there is another terminal on the screen and my cursor is focused on that
like the one im focused on, is not transparent
ya that's a window rule thing
but the one on its side is
how do i change it
ive searched about it but not able to find an answer
you can specify certain applications I believe to become transparent
this is for the overview mode
hmm
ill look into it more
looks like it might be an AMD issue https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/issues/2346
I'm on nvidia
when will people start using stable software
when linux gets gudder
when these lazy devs learn how to program
what do you expect for unpaid labour
