Hey guys I had a question; I'm thinking of applying to this position "Connectivity Help Desk analyst" I believe for "Quest" lab equipment? Anyway my experience is just computer repair and I took the google cybersecurity course that's supposed to fully prepare you for the comp tia+, do you think I have the knowledge necessary to open bottom level tickets? Please advise 🙏

[native plume]

Your statement is too op for a gif

[devout sail]

[neat wharf]

are ram going to get cheaper or not

[undone fossil]

tl;dr on the difference between the two (but in C)
PInvoke

#include <windows.h>
int main(void) {
  GetCurrentProcessId();
  return 0;
}

DInvoke

#include <windows.h>
int main(void) {
    HMODULE kernel32 = GetModuleHandle("KERNEL32.DLL");
    FARPROC pGetCurrentProcessId = GetProcAddress(kernel32, "GetCurrentProcessId");
    pGetCurrentProcessId();
    return 0;
}

hopefully that explains it, its just the resolution part so you avoid includes at compile time

anyone conpleted NextPath web challenge

[proud moth]

okk thanks, but then how can the EDR detect the payload?

[undone fossil]

So no, ootb neither method "bypasses usermode hooking" but DInvoke can be adapted in order to do so

[dusky jacinth]

Interesting

[undone fossil]

Many telemetry sources for .net, ETW will show class names etc. it will also likely have static signatures on the DInvoke wrapper itself. Plus you have to keep in mind that there's kernelmode sources also for things like thread creation, file writes, process creation / suspension etc.

[finite current]

const ID_REGEX = /^[0-9]+$/m;
// Prevent directory traversal
if (query.id.includes("/") || query.id.includes("..")) {
console.error("DIRECTORY TRAVERSAL DETECTED:", query.id);
res.status(400).end("DIRECTORY TRAVERSAL DETECTED?!? This incident will be reported.");
return;
}
const content = fs.readFileSync(filepath.slice(0, 100));

i understand the code my payload look like this ?id=1%0aAAAAA

Hey do you think like, I took the google cybersecurity course, supposed to set you up for comp tia+, do you think that's enough to apply to a job handling tickets? it

it looks like tier 1 stuff

why the fuck did I choose hacking man...

Run it as a seperate process, sliver is waiting for the process to exit to give you the output

[proud moth]

i installed this alias here: https://github.com/KriyosArcane/sliver-ligolo-ng

Disassembler but all machine code is turned into emojis so it’s more fun to look at

yo did joomla! came from an arabic word ?

[molten bobcat]

I got my cat

In my lap

[azure remnant]

cuz spells same as جملة

which means 'at the same price'

[civic lance]

is the OS Shell the terminal?

[molten bobcat]

Terminal is a loose terminology for where you type commands manually

[meager kernel]

You got a car in your lap?

[civic lance]

so its basically the same as OS shell?

[molten bobcat]

Define "OS shell" for me

[civic lance]

Operating System Shell

[molten bobcat]

Yes a terminal is a shell

[civic lance]

oooooooooooo

[molten bobcat]

Expanding OS is not helping me lmaooo

[undone fossil]

the terminal is the interface that the user types shell commands into

[civic lance]

Damn I thought I was right

[undone fossil]

the shell actually handles/processes the commands and returns output, the terminal is the IO layer

[silver forge]

opearting shellminal.

[dusky jacinth]

Terminal is also colloquially known as as the machine itself

But that’s j slang

[molten bobcat]

Shells are either Shell (computing) - Wikipedia https://share.google/NgUw5sWNSBfZeVqwb

[undone fossil]

colloquially is such a good word

fun so say

[dusky jacinth]

Truly is

[molten bobcat]

It is yeh

Been one that’s been on the list recently

[undone fossil]

closely followed by quintessential and thus

[dusky jacinth]

Quintessential is good

[molten bobcat]

I like quintessence

[civic lance]

OOh so the OS shell happends behind the scene of the terminal?

[dusky jacinth]

To AI bubble for me though yknow?

[undone fossil]

"thus ur opinion is terrible "

[dusky jacinth]

This one is good tho

[molten bobcat]

They are one and the same

You type shell commands into the terminal

[dusky jacinth]

Mayhaps

[civic lance]

like "ls"

[molten bobcat]

Yah

[undone fossil]

The terminal gives command to shell -> shell gives output to terminal -> you see output

[undone fossil]

if you want to the pedantic version. Realistically though people use the terms terminal/shell/command prompt pretty interchangeably

[molten bobcat]

That used to be all a computer was, hence why the whole box used to be called a "terminal" or "computer terminal"

[dusky jacinth]

^

[civic lance]

Yeah

My brain is starting to strain a lil

[molten bobcat]

It's okie

It's not like there's been decades of advancement and history and research and topics to explore

Kek

[undone fossil]

realistically unless you're developing a shell or terminal the difference doesnt really matter for general use

type in the funny commands get the funny output

enjoy

[molten bobcat]

Yesyes

[native plume]

There are webshells (basically you get to execute commands via web) so it make sense to have OS shells as the shell we know

[civic lance]

OS Shell
The operating system shell or the command language interpreter (also known as the command line) is the interface between the OS and the user. This interface allows the user to tell the OS what to do. The most commonly used shells are Bash, Tcsh/Csh, Ksh, Zsh, and Fish.

[lavish hull]

But what is a shell really?

The interface between the OS and the user is the terminal?

[molten bobcat]

The shell is

but yeah i think we need to get this guys certs revoked if he publically came out and said he was gonna dos a hospital

[young glen]

✅

[minor heart]

but he out here doing this bs

[molten bobcat]

What a genius lmao

[marsh lava]

I mean, anyone can post anything online and it's all true

[quick willow]

isnt that part of the certs T&C?

[gray terrace]

Nah man they don’t have any that I’m aware of he’s constantly talking about his “first client” lol

[molten bobcat]

Yes

It's part of HTBs TOS

As well

[smoky glen]

and he's out there doing it in the name of that InfoSec Pat guy's company too

[marsh lava]

Pretty sure ethical behavior is part of any decent cert out there

[quick willow]

oh yeah Pat hored him too

[fiery copper]

Nah I have a better plan report him and send him to police, we cant remove someones rightful work

[minor heart]

he's a true blackhat panda

how dare we all make jokes

[sharp beacon]

it's lunch time

[quick willow]

the only hat he wears is the dingus hat in the corner

[undone fossil]

i have a funny video for you, will dm

[minor heart]

also hi @sharp beacon

[sharp beacon]

hey moo

[gray terrace]

I’m about to report him to the company on question here shortly and show them these screens and archive posts and let their legal team decide on the course of action

[minor heart]

not saying hi

[gray terrace]

I recommend you all do the same

[minor heart]

y'all got me all riled up

[fiery copper]

Im all for that but I am against revoking certs

[molten bobcat]

I'm not lmao

FAFO

[minor heart]

I sort of am

[fiery copper]

I hope the guy ends in prison tho

[minor heart]

remember certs don't prove you have common sense

[molten bobcat]

Be a better representative of the community

[minor heart]

and that you're not an asshole

[gray terrace]

Hey man it’s clearly stated that if you bring shame and dishonor to the rep of HTB or use your skills illegally or leak exam details that’s a revocation

We all agreed to it

Kenny has done all three multiple times

[quick willow]

the bor threatened to Dos a company to get a client

[upbeat tangle]

Has someone gone rogue?

[molten bobcat]

Yes lmao

[minor heart]

that's it

[fiery copper]

I guess it could be considered fair if he uses HTB name in bad faith

[sharp beacon]

there's a whole scene of people who devalue certs and themselves by not doing anything legit. the cert/papermill is a rat race to the least common denominator. u can see by how the exams getting easier and easier.

[quick willow]

#general message @upbeat tangle

[minor heart]

I'm making a certified not an asshole cert CNAAC

[silver forge]

nah just keep him as a lolcow

[molten bobcat]

God no lmao

Of course

[vivid flower]

Im against revoking peoples certs because even if he has a blackhat conviction his ability to use the cert is gonna make or break whether he goes clean or reoffends

[quick willow]

@molten bobcat can t his be the next cube talk?

[smoky glen]

I wanted to call him out...but at the same time wanted to see the fallout of his unhinged behavior

[fiery copper]

We already have a dev with C** Chalice we dont need another one

[minor heart]

actually, I should make it Certified Offensive Cock Knobber

[molten bobcat]

Sorry brotha I'm not a community contributor anymore or a mod

[minor heart]

I think that's what ceh is for though

[quick willow]

"htb question: what do we do if a presitgeous memeber of the cape community threatened to DOS a hospital"

[minor heart]

I said what I said

[marsh lava]

Not the worst thing to get banned over lol

[fiery copper]

Nah its actually yandere dev meme

The Chris Chan memes are worse

[vivid flower]

Is it? I havent kept track of that guy

[fiery copper]

Hmm I dunno who is worse Yandere Dev or Chris Chan

[marsh lava]

Homeboy's about to find out about how "intent" plays out in the eyes of the law lmao

[silver forge]

are you talking about the same guy I know from a discussion on an image board where he did things with his mother or something like that

[fiery copper]

I assume Yandere Dev is worse

[vivid flower]

[molten bobcat]

[fiery copper]

Atleast Chris Chan has a defense that he/her was abused as a child and as an adult while being on the highest tier of autism

[carmine fulcrum]

When we will have new merch? I already bought everything 😞

[silver forge]

always so scary to see "several people are typing" here

[fiery copper]

It doesnt excuse the behaviour but gives more context

[molten bobcat]

What if I pipe a GitHub of payloads into an environment I don't have permission to access?

[vivid flower]

I think chris chan punched through and monetized their autism well enough to become immortal

[molten bobcat]

Oh random thing btw unauthorized access to computer systems is a felony in the US

[fiery copper]

I think Chris Chan will become a hobo and make a tent out of his/her My Little Pony Plushies and have a sonichu pillow

[proud moth]

average fundamental tier module on academy be like:

"We are now going to look at CSRF, this is a web vulnerability called CSRF, you can use CSRF to exploit the web via CSRF, the CSRF is indeed a web exploitation techniques and it should be noted that it's called CSRF (it's a web exploit), we are now going to the next section"

[upbeat tangle]

its a crime in sweden too

[molten bobcat]

So he's just screenshotting himself one keystroke away from committing a felony

Because he's very, very, very stupid

[silver forge]

you have to get access though first

[vivid flower]

Nah they have ssdi and can always livestream some more weird julay stuff for simpbux

[marsh lava]

Well... I don't know that you could classify that as unauthorized access

[minor heart]

kinda accurate actually

[gray terrace]

oh he def broke some laws with that one

[proud moth]

those modules are cancer

[minor heart]

dunno if I did that one yet

[fiery copper]

Nobody simps Chris Chan, they just love watching a freakshow

[minor heart]

I'm now sad I'm taking the cape

Yeah, in ye olde days, he was just trying to enjoy life and was mocked because he was different. Kinda feel bad that he didn't have someone more intune with the internet to protect him from the assholes online

Tell me about that time you tried to take down a hospital

[molten bobcat]

is it the learning process one?

its that abomination called "learning process" module

what decade are we in? is it the 90s?

[eternal mango]

I've seen it all, I'm just cautious about bundling into providing opinions on someone specific like this. I'll keep a note, and see about discussing this case internally, but it's not for me to take action on behalf of the company based upon public opinion or behaviour.

Thanks for taking a note sir

He's not

he thought I'd be able to remember this hot mess haha

[fiery copper]

The only Hot mess I enjoy is a Goulash

[meager kernel]

What hot mess happened exactly

[minor heart]

I can make that

[molten bobcat]

He's just saying it's usually not in any company's interest to auto react to every instance of bad things happening

[marsh lava]

That was the most "cert revocation is a careful line that must be thoroughly evaluated" response lol

[pearl spruce]

the way discord scrolling now is f* annoying.

[vivid flower]

Well, saying is one thing and doing is another

[quick willow]

if only other companies felt the same way

[marsh lava]

It took everything in me not to say something like that

[fiery copper]

Well the customer doesnt represent the company, the staff represents the company so prolly thats that

[proud moth]

isn't cert revokation a bit too extreme? the guy is just an idiot posting some idiot bullshit

[minor heart]

how many times have we acrually seen a cert revoke fr?

[vivid flower]

If this guy is really going to start DoSing then you don't need to help him. He'll be going to prison, especially if he brags on x

[tribal quail]

@quick willow

[fiery copper]

Thats the job of LinkedIn not HTB tbh

[quick willow]

yyes and no. its on LI. a public place where peopel can see it and evauluate the certs and their holders

[minor heart]

all these flavors and someone chose to be an idiot

[marsh lava]

It's pretty rare for the most part. Like, you gotta really do some stupid shit publicly where there is no question that what you did was wrong. Or be TCM

[quick willow]

oh hunny

[smoky glen]

he's constantly flaunting his HTB creds.

[fiery copper]

Whats TCM

[quick willow]

ive seen 2 in the span of 5 mins
source:me im the source

[minor heart]

ya that's the only one I've seen

[civic lance]

I’m nosey what happened😭

I forgot how to write skool correctly

[proud moth]

linkedin is just a place for clowns and nobody takes linkedin seriously except maybe US people for some reason

[minor heart]

mobile

[quick willow]

someone said they were gonna DOS a health company to get more clients fore their pentest firm

[marsh lava]

I think it was the paranoid "there are dedicated channels to organizing trolling in other servers" that absolutely had me dying

[civic lance]

In here?!!!!

[fiery copper]

A guy is annoying and does funny crimes and keeps saying that HTB credentials helped him do that

Is that correct?

[smoky glen]

threatening a company for business when you're supposed to be ETHICAL in this field is a line in the sand to have crossed.

[quick willow]

idek anymore

[fiery copper]

When I passed my Driving test the police guy said that I drived like Plant Dirt.

[civic lance]

Oh that’s defamation I believe?!

[pearl spruce]

I'm dying.

[meager kernel]

@proud moth what exactly happened? Whose cert got revoked and how?

[smoky glen]

OSCP course sucked, didn't learn anything new that TCM didn't teach me from PEH course. exam was fine except for the time limit. CPTS was great across the board.

[minor heart]

OK story time

[proud moth]

a guy on linkedin is being an idiot and people want to remove his cert

[marsh lava]

How does that defame HTB lol

[meager kernel]

An HTB cert?

[proud moth]

yeah

[minor heart]

I wanted to learn how to drive stick shift and this hot guy i liked said he'd show me

[quick willow]

my tcm certs got revoked becuase i memed on them

Can HTB remove certs?!

[meager kernel]

When you contacted THM, what did they say?

[fiery copper]

Now when I see a pigeon dead on the road I almost cry

[quick willow]

it was TCM

not THM

[meager kernel]

Oh TCM
Sorry my bad

But didn't expect this would happen lol

[minor heart]

a car has flown into the windshield of every car I've owned

"I have proof"
"What's the proof then?"
"nunya business"

yep he didnt liek it they removed them and doubled down the next day

@quick willow can you sue them?

[vivid flower]

That gives me trust issues

[proud moth]

lmao what clowns

[fiery copper]

I have proof of being rich
Proof: empty pockets

[smoky glen]

not remotely worth the legal fees

[quick willow]

and then he said i "broke the rule of ethics" but wouldnt say what i did

[minor heart]

I don't understand why birds are committing suicide on my windshields

🙁

[quick willow]

not evben worth my time lmao

[marsh lava]

Didn't he say you cheated on the exam at one point as though he's CompTIA running honeypot sites?

[meager kernel]

But what about the cost of the exams?

[fiery copper]

Because Cars are bad, Birds are dumb ( except Ravens)

[quick willow]

250/500 for the exams

[minor heart]

and owls

[fiery copper]

I dunno 6yo managed to kill an owl, so disputable

[pearl spruce]

each one?

[smoky glen]

their certs arent recognized by anyone really, it's no OSCP

[meager kernel]

Fair enough

[smoky glen]

OSCP I would fight tooth and nail to keep to my name

[quick willow]

250 for the jr 500 for the upper

[fiery copper]

What certs

[proud moth]

OSCP is also not recognized by anybody except dumb HR monkeys

[vivid flower]

People tell me my oscp is prestigous all the time

[fiery copper]

Im preparing for eJPT

[marsh lava]

And the dumb HR monkeys are part of the equation that you have to account for lol

Unfortunately

[devout sail]

Which cert provider we shitting on today

[smoky glen]

eh, I went from being unable to get interviews to getting multiple. It has recognition in the industry. Even as much as I tell people the CPTS is 100xs better

[marsh lava]

Yes

[minor heart]

demure, classy, fantastic

[fiery copper]

Comptia

[quick willow]

whats even better is that TCM shat on comptia, Offsec, THM etc and when he got shat on once to where it became public he cried and revoked the certs

[vivid flower]

The exam is brutal but you guys should do it

[pearl spruce]

Ohh that's too much for these certs though

[marsh lava]

At least you got some excellent sleep lol

[weary laurel]

Gentle reminder to hide your emails from github 😈

[fiery copper]

I have the best opinion that may get me stoned. MICROSOFT IS THE BEST CERTIFICATION PROVIDER

[devout sail]

Kraton, weren't you gonna do this one

@meager kernel

[vivid flower]

I will probably never do comptia

[minor heart]

that's like telling people. oh man this tastes awful - try some

[smoky glen]

I have Net+ and Sec+. Boring af to study for

[quick willow]

comptia got me a sysadmin job. never renewed after

[minor heart]

[meager kernel]

Yea I have to give sec+

[quick willow]

net/sec is needed for entry level tbh

[meager kernel]

IKR
it's so boring istg

[proud moth]

certifications exist only to trick noobs into thinking they can do hacking

[smoky glen]

and their exams are maddening how they word shit

[marsh lava]

lol what

[devout sail]

The closest thing you can pay to get ig

Sec

[pearl spruce]

FR

[quick willow]

cough like kenny cough

[fiery copper]

I hate comptia cuz their entry level cert is 400$ for a fking foundational

[smoky glen]

'what ist the BEST way to do X'

[vivid flower]

Eventually cpts will get more recognition but htb cheating standards are lax compared to offsec and the exam tests stress performance better

[meager kernel]

@smoky glen how much time it took you to study for Sec+

[sharp beacon]

cpts has recognition from people like me 😛

[smoky glen]

~3 months

[sharp beacon]

u can't tell because i'm very unserious but i'm actually an influencer, everywhere it counts 😉

[quick willow]

they just got gov recognized...thats yuge

[meager kernel]

The hell?
That's crazy
How many hours you studied in a day for it?

[smoky glen]

yeah CPTS getting that US Fed gov stuff is gigantic

[pearl spruce]

Yeahh, it feels like HTB Certs are just a gift from God.

[minor heart]

I will literally wait bc I know cpts will blow up

what a typo

[smoky glen]

eh nothing crazy, I just followed some like 50 hour video course from Udemy and then did practice tests for a week or two

[vivid flower]

I hope it does

[smoky glen]

Jason Dion practice tests are essentially carbon copies of the real thing, if you can pass those you can pass the real thing

[vivid flower]

I would be happy to see it be gatekept less but htb needs to be harder on cheaters

[minor heart]

I gave offsec 1600+ only for my house to flood and their cust. service to tell me to go f myself

[proud moth]

all this recognition stuff is so sad guys, you shouldn't even think about that honestly

[marsh lava]

When I chatted with THM about market permeation for their certs, that's one of the things I emphasized. Then I saw the certs and was like "ohhhhhhhh"

[meager kernel]

I'm watching this guy called Professor Messer
He has a whole 15 hour course divided into 120 videos of 5-8 minutes each

I kind of wanted to give the exam before new year hopefully

Otherwise I'll have to wait longer

[smoky glen]

Messer is great. I got subnetting down because of him.

[minor heart]

:3

[fiery copper]

Ill prolly consider annual silver HTB after eJPT

[vivid flower]

Messer taught me how to make vlans

[meager kernel]

How many times should I revise the material of sec+ if I wanna make sure I do great on it?

[minor heart]

neteng degree. it's all i do

[pearl spruce]

It's really worth it!

[fiery copper]

Messer is the Comptia prophet

[minor heart]

jk jk

[meager kernel]

I need 750 to pass

[minor heart]

you guys never saw my networking nerd phase and I'm thankful for that

[smoky glen]

Buy Jason Dion practice exams on Udemy. Once you're passing those above 80% you're golden

[eternal mango]

From my view, I believe the Academy Exams team do a very good job of spotting and acting upon those that try to cheat their way through.

..but I know, cheating is still rife everywhere

Such a game of cat and mouse, but a lot happens you do not hear about

[meager kernel]

I'm not even sure if sec+ is worth it
It's so boring and there's nothing practical in it
It's just basic security principles and stuff

[pearl spruce]

You are the first one recommending Udemy in my whole life.

[vivid flower]

Afaik it isnt proctored though

[eternal mango]

It is not

[meager kernel]

Same
Usually people hate udemy

[marsh lava]

Statistical analysis can paint a very pretty picture

[quick willow]

udemy is cheap

so cheap

[meager kernel]

Udemy is kinda trash when it comes to cybersec

[proud moth]

udemy lmao

[minor heart]

seems pointless

[smoky glen]

Lol they have some good people on there like Jason Dion and Mike Meyers

[vivid flower]

And the punishment for getting caught is a month ban instead of a permaban like offsec does

[smoky glen]

Just don't buy anything full price from udemy

[quick willow]

20 bucks for a course on how to DDOS a hospital? nah but 20 bucks on how to dev in HTML count me in

[meager kernel]

A guy from college told me he did a Udemy course on hacking 😭😭

[pearl spruce]

Yeah lol

[eternal mango]

Again.. a lot happens that you don't see

[meager kernel]

He learnt how to build a VM from a 200$ course 😭😭😭

[smoky glen]

Always find a code or wait for their "sale" that happens like multiple times a month

[undone fossil]

can vouch, a ton goes on

[vivid flower]

Okay, alright

[fiery copper]

Be like, you aint gonna save my grandma, I will make ur hospital go bye bye

[pearl spruce]

Mike Meyers yeahh. like you need to be selective to learn from udemy

[marsh lava]

We built some statistical analysis thing for our last CTF and it was amazing how many cheaters we found. Scrubbed at least four from the top ten

[upbeat tangle]

Whoever this "Abcricto Security" guy is on youtube hes the GOAT, he explains so nicely what each command means and what it does on retired labs

[meager kernel]

Udemy is like those skid courses

[upbeat tangle]

only 860 subs is criminal

[pearl spruce]

Most accurate.

[minor heart]

seriously?

[smoky glen]

I mean there are a lot of fakes and people looking to get rich quick from udemy, but there are well known people

Thats why I use Youtube

[eternal mango]

Dowwwh, just got the import duty charge for the pagers

[fiery copper]

And also HTB

[eternal mango]

They literally waited until they arrived at my local depot to tell me

had my hopes up

[upbeat tangle]

Just create a copy of cert in paint brother

[minor heart]

I always feel fake

does that count?

lol

[marsh lava]

It's like these stupid ass tariffs, man. "surprise, pay more money"

[upbeat tangle]

Tarrifs is fantastic for you muricans

not for us who want to buy from you

[marsh lava]

How, I'm the one who pays them 🤣

Not you

[minor heart]

^

[upbeat tangle]

OH right

its tax added to items from other countries for you

[marsh lava]

Yeah, it's garbage. For some reason, people still actually think it's other countries paying it. Thank you American public education system lmao

[fiery copper]

What did I miss

[eternal mango]

Exactly, basically VAT added to the items purchased, because otherwise UK GOV gets sad for not getting a piece of the pie

[upbeat tangle]

Everybody knows its the customer who always has to pay the fess

[meager kernel]

Should I give CEH? Is it worth it?

[marsh lava]

Me whining about things I can't control

[fiery copper]

Ye give it to me

Its worth it

[meager kernel]

My employer recommended me two certs
Either CompTIA sec+ or CEH

[upbeat tangle]

i heard its the worst one on youtubew

[eternal mango]

Sweet, sweet catharsis

[vivid flower]

Do cpts

[vivid flower]

Those both suck

[fiery copper]

Buy 2 comptia sec+ one for me one for u

[meager kernel]

Sec+ is boring as fuck and just covers basic stuff
CEH is atleast about pentesting

[marsh lava]

CEH is also a meme

[meager kernel]

What can I do? My company where I got hired as intern is like that

[vivid flower]

Do CPTS @meager kernel

[meager kernel]

My company doesn't recognise that

[vivid flower]

Then do OSCP

[meager kernel]

Atleast no indian companies recognises CPTS

[fiery copper]

@meager kernel do CySA+ instead

[upbeat tangle]

@meager kernel then work somewhere else i guess

[marsh lava]

If you can dog walk Security+, just get it, take the exam, and have the piece of paper so you've "got that foundational knowledge" or whatever

[meager kernel]

Wish I could
Pentesting internships are hard to find, even through connections

[fiery copper]

CySA is same price and higher level

Ask ur boss for that

[meager kernel]

Hmmm

I'll message him tomorrow

[proud moth]

pentesting internships are hard to find because instead of learning you are asking about "how to get recognized cert plz???"

[upbeat tangle]

@meager kernel Well, maybe. but you know its a boomer CEO when they require certs thats actually lower quality than what i have seen on hack the box XD

[meager kernel]

😭😭
I don't have much of a choice
I just wanna sit and do HTB all day

[vivid flower]

If you focused on building skills themselves instead of studying for these shitass certifications youd suddenly find that doing certs like the OSCP and harder come within reach

[meager kernel]

Agreed
It's so boring as hell

[proud moth]

then do that, build skills, and pass interviews

i had zero certs when i got my pentesting job expect a shitty VHL+ meme 10 dollar certification or whatever

[meager kernel]

I have applied for intern in other places too
Let's hope I can get an interview

[terse dirge]

Are they paying for either one?

[meager kernel]

No

[fiery copper]

@meager kernel if you get comptia at least get cysa+, its wayy better than sec+

[proud moth]

you don't need any of these HR buzzwords ass pathetic certs

you do need to learn hacking though

[fiery copper]

So they aint paying for the certs they make u to take?

[meager kernel]

I'll look into it

[fiery copper]

Sheesh thats rough

[meager kernel]

😭😭

[upbeat tangle]

@meager kernel Can you pay to just do the exam?

[fiery copper]

Yes

[meager kernel]

Wdym?
Yea I'll pay to give the exam

[dusky jacinth]

Sec+ is IT oriented IMO

[upbeat tangle]

Then do that

easy for you

[dusky jacinth]

CySA is atleast sec applicable

[meager kernel]

Man I'm messaging my senior tomorrow

[fiery copper]

Well that why I said cysa

[meager kernel]

I ain't giving all these outdated certs 😭😭

[minor heart]

it's not really like that for young ppl rn

[fiery copper]

Sec too basic

[quick willow]

dude im creating this GTA V server and man im so tired of looking at Lua

[dusky jacinth]

Don’t get CEH

You’ll hate yourself

[upbeat tangle]

@meager kernel Step number 1, attempt to convince that there are better things out there for you than comptia and ceh

[fiery copper]

Get CySa+

[dusky jacinth]

I kinda wanna get it for the meme

I bet I could rn

[meager kernel]

I think I already do

[proud moth]

guys please have some self-esteem

[upbeat tangle]

[dusky jacinth]

Then throw everything out the window

[meager kernel]

Myself included?

[proud moth]

you don't need any of this clown bullshit to get jobs

[dusky jacinth]

Can’t

Am haxor

[minor heart]

I also have 0 certs, but I hear less and less ppl say that.

[dusky jacinth]

You know the answer

[fiery copper]

Too expensive

[dusky jacinth]

Don’t you have a degree tho?

See I have just the one cert

[meager kernel]

I'm messaging my manager tomorrow
And possibly some other connections too for getting a better internship offer

[fiery copper]

Degrees are the bare minimum for any job

[dusky jacinth]

My resume is legit gonna be A+, CPTS

[minor heart]

neteng yes

[proud moth]

if you come to the interview with all these clown certs, and then you cannot answer a basic question about NoSQL or apache configs, do you seriously think that you will get the job because of some HR bullshit ass thing you got on the CV?

you won't

[lime trout]

not really no

[meager kernel]

Emma got hired at 16

I think

Or was it 14

[lime trout]

16

[meager kernel]

Yea 16

[proud moth]

the same for the degrees, it's all the same guys

[lime trout]

OSCP was 14

[quick willow]

yep. lol its a heavy heavy close to beta release

[meager kernel]

😭😭 tf
OSCP at 14

[proud moth]

to get the job you will need to know hacking, that's it

[meager kernel]

What age you started hacking?

[lime trout]

idk

12, 13 that area

[minor heart]

the degree opened a door for me to work in support but it didn't do much else @meager kernel

[meager kernel]

Insane

[upbeat tangle]

How much do they pay you on that internship? 5 bubblegums and a kiss on the cheek?

[proud moth]

wait what in the fuck are you saying right now, that's INSANE

[lime trout]

and networking

[proud moth]

that's only if you live in the US or something

[lime trout]

no

[proud moth]

people there are just insane so yes, networking can actually help

[quick willow]

how can you hack without knowing how to network?

[dusky jacinth]

OSCP at 14 is actually crazy

[lime trout]

networking asi n people

[meager kernel]

My degree is in computer science
But my internship (which hasn't started yet, will start next month) wants me to get either CompTIA security or CEH

[proud moth]

i had zero networking and sent 6 applications and found a job, you don't need this linkedin bullshit to find it

[meager kernel]

That's all ik

[lime trout]

ik

but even talking on discord, going to local cons, etc

[meager kernel]

I tried studying course material of sec+, it's genuinely boring as fuck

I feel sleepy

[upbeat tangle]

@meager kernel yeah but how much do they pay

[dusky jacinth]

It’s also good to have a good network just to assist in building knowledge imo

[meager kernel]

Less than 500 USD a month

[dusky jacinth]

Like if I fail an interview or have a question about an Apache config

I can ask someone

[upbeat tangle]

@meager kernel are you going to sleep in the office? xD

[dusky jacinth]

Sometimes it’s too lonely to google it

[meager kernel]

I hate myself already

Don't make me hate myself more

[upbeat tangle]

500 USD bro, they better put a bed for you in the office with shower and toilet

[supple plume]

kRATON

[proud moth]

LEARN

FUCKING

HACKING

[meager kernel]

I WANT TO

[dusky jacinth]

Bro I am
