[exotic pendant]

Cute girl got me wanting to play Cyberpunk 2077 but then I couldn't push myself to play

HackTheBox difficulty translation:

Fundamental --> Hard

Medium --> ???

[near swift]

Hard and easy

[silver forge]

you called?

[exotic pendant]

😄

[heavy oak]

THM = 🚲
HTB = 🏍️

[fiery copper]

THM = 404 HTB = 500

[raw lichen]

I committed $500 at christmas (CAD), can't back off now. Every module I don't complete before year ends means I lose it.

[fiery copper]

Wdym commited 500$

Did you buy an yearly sub?

[raw lichen]

Silver Annual HTB promo... pesky devs even added free certs so I'm forced to take them or else they expire.

Yeah.

[fiery copper]

I want the certs

Not the annual

[raw lichen]

Technically if you buy the exam individually it's already $105+210 usd... but the silver annual christmas sale is $368 usd so I took the annual.

[fiery copper]

I really wanted the CJCA but couldnt afford because of taxes

[raw lichen]

U wanna have spare money so you can quit your job and do this stuff, it's hard AF and requires full focus commitment.

[fiery copper]

I bought eJPT instead

[raw lichen]

I already completed TryHackMe pre-security before I attempted this, and even pre-security is too shallow.

[fiery copper]

Well assume that CJCA requires you to have tryhackme cybersecurity 101

And some of the sal and pt1

[eternal mango]

Depends on the person, I wouldn't say so though tbh

[fiery copper]

Well I am saying the equivalent

Amount of knowledge

Or you could do CJCA path which is better, do some of the cpts and some of the cdsa path and do some machines

[undone fossil]

Easiest way to confirm anything like that is to cross-reference the syllabi

[fiery copper]

Like the easy ones

[undone fossil]

Otherwise its a subjective take which will just result in going in circles 😅

[fiery copper]

I love circles

[undone fossil]

https://osu.ppy.sh/

[lyric gyro]

click those circles

[fiery copper]

Ill play that game if you gift me a CJCA voucher

Quote, Quint

[sturdy thistle]

bri'ish

[eternal mango]

Oh, thought quint was valid

[molten bobcat]

Huh, didn't know quint was a word

[sturdy thistle]

Hope we can see us 2026, @eternal mango

[molten bobcat]

No it is

[eternal mango]

Ah yeah musical notation

[molten bobcat]

(in piquet) a sequence of five cards of the same suit. A run of ace, king, queen, jack, and ten is a quint major and one of jack, ten, nine, eight, and seven a quint minor

It's another name for a flush

!

[eternal mango]

Hah til

Maybe wrong about notation

Just came to mind

[molten bobcat]

No you're right about that too

[eternal mango]

Oh

I'll stop while I'm doing well then

[molten bobcat]

It's the E string on a violin or a fifth

[eternal mango]

Ok, gotta lock in

Daughter is quite the scrabble beast apparently

Laters

[molten bobcat]

Gotta have your wits about ya

Have fun!

[silver forge]

[lost drum]

hey i'm sorry to bother you all but i have a firewall task for school and i've been trying to trubble shoot for 4 hours but i just can't seem to find the problem anyone willing to help me out ?

[molten bobcat]

A flush in poker is any 5 cards of the same suit lol

[molten bobcat]

Trubble?

[eternal mango]

In order though right?

Not just any 5

[molten bobcat]

In order it's a royal flush

[eternal mango]

Royal includes the royal cards

[lost drum]

Yes? did i miss spell it?

[molten bobcat]

Er

No that's a straight flush

A royal flush is ordered face cards

[eternal mango]

Oh

No you're right

Til again

[terse dirge]

Troubleshoot*

[molten bobcat]

Dad taught me poker too

[lost drum]

yes that

[molten bobcat]

Also balatro

My grandparents were more for rummy

[molten bobcat]

Cheese, poker, football

Cheese? Chess.

[eternal mango]

Cheese is good to learn too

Cheese is life

[lost drum]

i'm sorry in total i've spent 8 hours on this and english is not my fist language i'm tired

[molten bobcat]

No worries

I just like teasin

[lost drum]

would you maybe be able to help or be willing to i should say

i have no internet connection anymore and i don't know how that problem occured

[lost drum]

actually it really is

[eternal mango]

Are there any students in your class you can speak to, or reach out to your tutor?

[lost drum]

well since it's nearly the first no one is responding

[terse dirge]

We can't help with school work

[lost drum]

i can assure you that this is like last resort

[molten bobcat]

Academic integrity and whatnot

[lost drum]

wait fr?

[zealous imp]

Good morning yall

[molten bobcat]

Is there a concept you're not understanding? We can help with that

We just can't do your homework for you lol

[zealous imp]

@lost drum u a kid in a hacking server ??

[lost drum]

no that's rlly not the issue it's just that i had my network i set up tunneling everything was fine and i pressed filter reload and everything just went with erros

[lost drum]

i doubt a kid would ask for firewall advice

[molten bobcat]

We can't fix network connectivity issues :/

[lost drum]

i swear that's not what i'm asking i'm already pretty far in it but i have tried dns troubleshooting changing firewall rules

[zealous imp]

U be surprised

[lost drum]

looking at my vm nics to make sure they wouldn't have switched

nothing at all

[eternal mango]

If it's been that long, I'd recommend taking a step back and switching focus

[molten bobcat]

The only thing I suggest is reading your error messages and going from there

[silver forge]

maybe I should put pants on and go outside watch the rockets

[molten bobcat]

Usually they're pretty on the nose and obvious about what's failing

[eternal mango]

When you get stuck for a long time, you sometimes can't see the forest for the trees

[zealous imp]

I had a laptop long time ago and I let this one kid on bc I thought he was going to give me custom software and he put a virus on it 🤣

[lost drum]

well that's the problem i don't understand them since it looked like something with my tunnels and dns and i swapped those alreadyt

[terse dirge]

Google the errors

[molten bobcat]

You should bring your questions to your teacher

That's what they're there for

But I get that it's new years

So y'know

[lost drum]

i chatgpted them not very it big brain but i wanted to go fast thru this

[molten bobcat]

Patience is a virtue

Chatgpt is not a replacement for a working brain and some elbow grease

[lost drum]

rn it honestly is my brain is fried atm

[molten bobcat]

So take a break and rest

Focusing is hard when you're fried

[eternal mango]

Take a break, like we said

[lost drum]

can't i have alot more to do

[terse dirge]

Chatgpt isn't very good, try actually googling them and you might see reddit posts or forum posts about people having the same errors

[molten bobcat]

It'll be there when you come back

[lost drum]

i forgot reddit

thanks

[molten bobcat]

If you're running out of time, this is unfortunately a time management issue

[lost drum]

yes that's the problem XD

[lost drum]

well i still have 6 days

[molten bobcat]

Nice. Plenty of time to rest

[lost drum]

but i wanted to be done in 5

[molten bobcat]

Ask your teacher for help once holidays are done

Ez ez

When we say rest we literally mean like take a break for half an hour or so

Not like actually go to bed lol

Y'know unless it's sleepy hours

[lost drum]

that might not be that bad of an idea tbh

[eternal mango]

Needed to be said twice

[molten bobcat]

Rest and relaxation is important for improving yourself

Muscles don't grow if you don't sleep

And the brain can't move shit to long term memory without rest

[eternal mango]

Sleep doesn't only enable retention, it's literally your brain's practice ground for tasks you encounter in waking life.

Waking up from a dream, the answer in mind, there's a reason for that

Also, Waking Life, killer film

[molten bobcat]

Thank you lmao

[eternal mango]

Total do as I say not as I do cheat sheet

[high lynx]

if you can find just a single day to do absolutely nothing and sleep (not even scroll through the net, really nothing), the next day you will marvel at how much energy you regain which is gonna last a couple weeks.

[undone fossil]

currently learning elixir and its hurting my head

functional programming is such an alien thought process to me. holy fuck

But a fed sock puppet wouldn't be so obvious

[fiery copper]

Real

But this time I was gonna ask for cjca guide

Instead of a cert

[steel yew]

[eternal mango]

The modules for the path are the guide

[sturdy thistle]

Happy new year from Germany guys

[fiery copper]

Ye did those but I dont wanna feel like a dumb fuck during the exam

Would help me understand to know how the exam works

[eternal mango]

If you completed the modules, check the related content

[fiery copper]

I only know that it lasts 5 days, I have to send a report and that a beautiful human checks

[young mirage]

i got vip+ for this year i hope to learn lots

[eternal mango]

The exam works as any other, a lab with exercises to complete based upon what you have learned

Sharing anything further wouldn't really be allowed.

[fiery copper]

Thanks master chief I dont know how other exams work

[steel yew]

Anyway I am not asking about the exercises themselves but the exams structure

[eternal mango]

Past what that article says again not much can be said

There are reviews that might give others opinions on it I guess

[molten bobcat]

And just like that my queue is empty yet again

Why am I so good at my job rahhh

I'm packed for my night out. I do, in fact, have 3 bags. One duffle containing two smaller. An adidas gym bag. Inside a crossbody/fanny pack of rave and self care items. and my EDC bag with tooks for most situations including first aid, knife, light, multitool, lighter, etc

[molten bobcat]

I usually have my wallet and keys

[frigid mountain]

g0blin you know it's me right? I just changed my handle?

[eternal mango]

Depends how it's used. For assistance in documenting verified findings as in not just assuming a finding is correct from ai, not against it, but you'd 100% want to read over and fully understand and correct anything it's assumed

[eternal mango]

I mean I do now

[eternal mango]

Definitely doubt

[fiery copper]

Bart Simpson

And he did kill Bart multiple times

[molten bobcat]

Why?

[fiery copper]

Because Bart is annoying Sideshow Bob

[eternal mango]

Not you

[molten bobcat]

No I was asking why Sideshow Bob is trying to kill bart

[eternal mango]

Yeah, just making sure

[molten bobcat]

And no it's because bart ruined his career

[eternal mango]

I'm terrible at using the reply button

[fiery copper]

So still corrext

[molten bobcat]

That's hardly "annoying" lmao

[fiery copper]

That annoys sideshow bob

[molten bobcat]

?????

[fiery copper]

Youd be annoyed if someone ruined ur dream

[molten bobcat]

When you get shot do you quietly say "Ow, that was annoying"

?

[fiery copper]

Then a house party in a geodesic dome house by a local EDM promotions crew. Going until 6am sunrise set.

Then maybe brunch at a coworkers if I have any energy left

[frigid mountain]

I bet you love to play the yard game "cornhole" don't you?

[fiery copper]

Why are you sharing me a dirt burrito?

[molten bobcat]

It's beef you nerd

[fiery copper]

I cant afford a yard

[terse dirge]

Taquitos?? 👀

[maiden anvil]

they look pretty good to me

[fiery copper]

Im beefing with u

[frigid mountain]

you should go to a yardsale then

[molten bobcat]

Depends on what the difference between a flauta and a taquito is

[fiery copper]

What is a yard sale

[maiden anvil]

dunno about randomly throwing onions on the table but i digress

[molten bobcat]

Not my picture

Pulled from internet

[fiery copper]

I read Onions

[maiden anvil]

[molten bobcat]

My dishwasher is still running

[rapid badger]

[frigid mountain]

it's where they sell yards

By the yard

[fiery copper]

Is that a joke about women or actual dishwasher?

[frigid mountain]

You can get a 10yd x 10yd cheap

[molten bobcat]

Flautas are kinda annoying because you have to oil the tortillas

[maiden anvil]

OMG YOU BETTER GO GET IT!!!!

[molten bobcat]

Actual appliance lol

[maiden anvil]

sorry for the caps

that was an accident

[molten bobcat]

[fiery copper]

It doesnt have legs

[molten bobcat]

How the fuck do programs run you jabroni

Bro is gonna store all of his insults in cloud

See Im such a good troll that I scared a troll

[toxic sandal]

I have a joke but it's definitely 18+

|| 👌 ||

[maiden anvil]

absolutely not allowed here

at all

whatsoever

[fiery copper]

Im pretty sure ur joke is 10-

Or 4-

Depending on region

[maiden anvil]

completely against the rules

100% region locked

possibly even illegal in some jurisdictions

for foul and indecent behavior

[molten bobcat]

God won't forgive you

[fiery copper]

Yo rich guy help me get a comptia cert cheap

[toxic sandal]

Hey I warned you guys

[molten bobcat]

No

[fiery copper]

They sell shit expensive

[hard elk]

Happy new years for those who celebrate it 🔥

[fiery copper]

I didnt know you were a SIEM alert

Ill take it to consideration as my aspiring SOC analyst job

[maiden anvil]

it is completely in violation of HTB rules to make an 18+ joke

specifically rule 2, first sentence, 'Keep everything “Safe For Work”.'

[soft fern]

It was a TP?

[maiden anvil]

absolutely 100% not allowed whatsoever
at all under any circumstance imaginable
forever

[fiery copper]

Imagine his 18+ joke is about 9/11

Id be hella dissapointed

[maiden anvil]

that is a perfect example

if he mentioned anything about it being an inside job

or jet fuel melting steel beams

it would be immediately in violation of rule 2

[fiery copper]

Or juice

[soft fern]

Dude, my parent's are reading this chat, and they saw the joke.
Thanks to you, my online privileges are being revoked

[obtuse fern]

why are we talking about september 2011 (this is a reference)

[fiery copper]

Nah we talking about 9 november 2025

[maiden anvil]

it was an example of the type of joke @toxic sandal absolutely 100% cannot make

because he wished to make one

but we explicitly told him he cant

[toxic sandal]

...

[maiden anvil]

and he has not done so

thereby in total compliance with the rule

and the aforementioned subject was an example of a rule breaking joke

[fiery copper]

We protecting the community from being dumb like us

Spent new years trying elixir for the first time

my head hurts but 2026 shall be my functional programmer year (it wont)

I may aswell get certification during 2026, because why not

Hell yeah

[fiery copper]

What path do you wanna take

[upbeat tangle]

after the junior one?

[fiery copper]

Ye

[upbeat tangle]

I would assume something red team oriented

[fiery copper]

Why not blue

[upbeat tangle]

because that fits my personality

[undone fossil]

valid

Recommend at least trying a little bit of blue to see what its like, but do what you enjoy

[upbeat tangle]

I will try it, but i will probably just default back to breaking things

[fiery copper]

Ok then take CJCA and CPTS during the same year
