Hi I'm looking into the world of cyber security and hacking, more precisely, I'm interested in becoming a pen tester but also SoC attracts me. (I'll figure it out later ig, maybe I could look into some purple team stuff or idk). Sorry for the long preamble, I'd like to know if having competences about leetcode is actually useful or not.

[west lynx]

Get Started with the HTB Beginners Bible: https://www.hackthebox.com/blog/learn-to-hack-beginners-bible

[scenic maple]

leetcode for cybersec?

[meager kernel]

@idle kiln

[meager kernel]

and yes, it could be useful

[meager kernel]

does ippsec ever reply to people here

[scenic maple]

leetcode for cybersec is useless tho

[meager kernel]

i havent seen him replying much

[scenic maple]

he does

[molten bobcat]

Good morning

[meager kernel]

the problem solving capablity is useful but the concepts are useless

[carmine pecan]

he does but it depends on the aligment of the planets

[idle kiln]

thank you

[scenic maple]

once ina while comes here and reads messages with "ippsec"

[scenic maple]

i think when it comes to cybersec anything related to leetcode is useless

[molten bobcat]

Beating back my morning anxiety with a stick

[carmine pecan]

stick

[meager kernel]

but what about the problem solving ability?

[carmine pecan]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-stick-on-the-head-suspicion-gif-26081667

[scenic maple]

where do you use problem solving in cybersec tho

[frozen zinc]

When you do boxes...

for example

[scenic maple]

😩

[open vigil]

hold up I have something to say

[scenic maple]

yeah sure but leetcode doesnt have anything to do with it

[molten bobcat]

I've never used it

[open vigil]

⚠️

[scenic maple]

you could say juggling balls can help doing cybersec cause it helps with focus

[molten bobcat]

CWEE looks like a tooth

🦷

[scenic maple]

and cwes looks like a crab

[carmine pecan]

Yeah with tartar

[open vigil]

what I wanted to say is Today is a fine monday

[scenic maple]

a bed bug actually

[molten bobcat]

He has a crown

;D

[carmine pecan]

tartar tooth

[meager kernel]

im not able to install kali in vm

[open vigil]

all I'm seeing is a fine spider queen

[meager kernel]

for some reason

[signal mica]

Tatar shawties?

[meager kernel]

its failing at one step

[molten bobcat]

I'm still trying to

[carmine pecan]

Use the ready-made Kali VMs offsec disponibilizes?

[molten bobcat]

Get my heart and brain to chill

[meager kernel]

ehhh i dont like them

[carmine pecan]

Ah

[meager kernel]

i was using the ISO files

and its failing at "select and install software" step

[wanton dock]

not medical advice but prozac helped me chill out

[scenic maple]

try parrot

[idle kiln]

tried whonix, is it good?

[meager kernel]

i have
i dont like it

[molten bobcat]

I'm already being taken care of medicine wise I'm just waiting for them to kick in

[carmine pecan]

try BarbieGirlOS + Exegol

[frozen zinc]

@idle kiln Dont let anyone tell you what have value or what not, follow your guts, make a lot of mistakes and learn from them. Be inevitable and unstoppable and never stop learning something new. And you will be fine

[signal mica]

Use the preinstalled thing petals mentioned, then fork xct kali setup

[carmine pecan]

yeah kali-light is amazing

[idle kiln]

I've been using it a few times the last weeks and doesn't seem terrible

[idle kiln]

aight

[meager kernel]

fine

[scenic maple]

did it work on ubuntu without modifications? if so then good else u could write a gist abt how to tintsall it in ubuntu

[carmine pecan]

whats Ubuntu

[molten bobcat]

Y'all wanna see the food I meal prepped for the week

[carmine pecan]

Ubuntu can't measure freedom

[idle kiln]

?

[signal mica]

Didnt ho down that road yet

[scenic maple]

yeah its how corporate people use linux

[idle kiln]

not bad

[scenic maple]

whats the white thing

[carmine pecan]

Nice nice

[molten bobcat]

That's chicken golam

Weak female meal lmaoo

[carmine pecan]

Axchually C1oud can lift

[austere sinew]

WHAT

[scenic maple]

do real men eat only liver?

[molten bobcat]

I can infact lift

[carmine pecan]

Real man don't even eat a meal if it has less than 30 grams of protein

[scenic maple]

i have always windered why do kids hate brocoli i have kinda liked it

[rapid badger]

A week of dry chicken breast leftovers

[carmine pecan]

Then they start doing pushups INSTANTLY after eating

[proper fractal]

I don't even lift bro

[molten bobcat]

Chicken tenderloins actually, and I cooked them decent they're not dry

[carmine pecan]

While doing weird yet masculine grunts and noises

and moans

don't forget the moans

[molten bobcat]

They might lose a bit of their moisture in the fridge tho

[proper fractal]

in prison they do rofl but that's only once a month

[scenic maple]

https://tenor.com/view/protein-cheers-food-taco-bell-gif-11794680

[carmine pecan]

tenderloins

where do tenderloins are located in a chicken?

[molten bobcat]

Underneath breast

[proper fractal]

scrambled eggs is fried chicken

[carmine pecan]

😮

Wild statement Clumsy

[molten bobcat]

They're different cuts of meat

[scenic maple]

but how how do you define an egg and a chicken

[proper fractal]

The flavor of water is temperature

[carmine pecan]

has protein

[molten bobcat]

I would argue chicken has more protein than an egg

[scenic maple]

eggs have protien

too

[molten bobcat]

Yes

That's why I said more

[scenic maple]

so now what

[proper fractal]

raw eggs make you stronger

[molten bobcat]

Now nothing now we eat

[austere sinew]

ngl i prefer chicken thighs to chicken breasts they keep their moisture much better

[tranquil pivot]

[undone fossil]

Hello chat

[fiery copper]

Hi

[scenic maple]

froj u should check out zed

[vital linden]

im gonna get a refer from like 4 people actually...

[carmine pecan]

Zed the editor?

[scenic maple]

bro is the reason people dont apply to jobs

[vital linden]

i am also just playing the game

[scenic maple]

just one click and turns of all ai

also much faster than electorn as usual

has support for most stuff

so i think switching would be nice

[jaunty oriole]

Is there a specific channel for academy questions?

[scenic maple]

#modules

[proper fractal]

Ima go back to setting up asterisk sipvicious is interesting

have a good morning

[undone fossil]

What

[scenic maple]

https://zed.dev/

[undone fossil]

Inb4 vscode fork

[vital linden]

my brain thinks its still 2025

lol

[scenic maple]

no

its written in rust

lmao

[signal mica]

Amazing

[scenic maple]

you can also be a vim or emacs elitist

cause it supportes keybindings like that really nicely with its ui and its actually fast

no extensions needed

[undone fossil]

Okay at first I was concerned because all the testimonials were JS devs

[vital linden]

imagine using anything by vim? (im using visual studio)

[undone fossil]

And I figured they may be just stupid

But then I saw creator of elixir 👀

I’d maybe give it a go but I don’t really have a reason to learn something new when what I have works

[scenic maple]

bro u hate js devs like they arent even people lol

||do it again||

||jk||

||or am i||

the js devs u see in the testimonial do actual stuff tho

like you cant write bad code when you are writing a compiler

even if its js one

[undone fossil]

JS sucks and there’s a huge contrast in dev suite between JS/C

Also yes I dislike

[carmine pecan]

JS "dev"

you mean

[undone fossil]

Read my mind

[carmine pecan]

JS "I learnt this language as my first and I am now attached to it and can't switch" dev

[undone fossil]

I had that typed

[scenic maple]

truth is

its easier to write js and get money

then it is to do with elixr or c

[carmine pecan]

C ?

[scenic maple]

which is why people choose it

[carmine pecan]

fuck C for money

[scenic maple]

well

[undone fossil]

C is cool if you have a marketable niche

But yeah I agree the JS market is much greater

[scenic maple]

rust market is pretty much non existent compared

[wanton dock]

who is C

[muted olive]

hello chat

[molten bobcat]

WADJA DA BOOLYA RA 1.9 MEGABYTES

[scenic maple]

i agree but it also takes way way longer to get good enough in C to be employable level

[carmine pecan]

the lies they tell

[molten bobcat]

This is a good meme thanks

[wanton dock]

np

[scenic maple]

its an actual book it seems

https://orlybooks.com/books/bloated-jabbascript

[molten bobcat]

It's a book cover

Not a book

You slide it over the actual book

To make it funny

[scenic maple]

[molten bobcat]

Which seems really really really funny to me

I would absolutely do this

[scenic maple]

[carmine pecan]

"Don't judge a book by its cover, except if you buy a book cover to slide over the book cover, then go and judge the book by the cover so you can laugh."

for some reason my right hand has more grip strength than my left one

i think its because i use a mouse

[molten bobcat]

Are you right handed

[carmine pecan]

ah yes mouse

[wanton dock]

no im left handed

[molten bobcat]

Oh.

[carmine pecan]

😉 mouse yes

[undone fossil]

I mean sure if you don’t have like a year to do hobbyist stuff

[carmine pecan]

he's chinese

[undone fossil]

Oh so no hobbies

[molten bobcat]

We can't study together anymore sorry I don't trust left handed people

[carmine pecan]

so weird

[wanton dock]

no pleas

i was lyinng

[molten bobcat]

Kidding hehe

[scenic maple]

i mean on average it takes 7-8 months to become employable in terms of js if you lock in

[austere sinew]

ew left handed people

[wanton dock]

lmao

[undone fossil]

Sir enjoys his joystick gaming

[scenic maple]

i dunno abt C but it must be much higher

do you think its one year?

[undone fossil]

C is a very simple language

[carmine pecan]

Mister Golam you are believing lies

blatant lies

[molten bobcat]

I may or may not have bypassed a question in academy

[muted olive]

for you

[carmine pecan]

C will also take the same amount of time

it's just that people don't do it anymore

[molten bobcat]

Due to me knowing basic windows functionality lol

[undone fossil]

Learn structs, functions, pointers, Gj you just learned most of what you will use in C

[muted olive]

I like all langs tbh

[scenic maple]

very interesting take

[undone fossil]

The rest is syntactic sugar

[wanton dock]

reminds me i have to finish that module

brb

[muted olive]

C is good for hacking windows in general. JS is good for hacking electron based apps.

[carmine pecan]

https://beej.us/guide/bgc/html/split/

[muted olive]

and web stuff

[undone fossil]

JS is good for NOTHING

[scenic maple]

i have never looked up what cs jobs require i am gonna do now

[undone fossil]

Get it away

[molten bobcat]

The last question was weird as hell for me but since you're on the domain controller and it's asking.. for a users sid in the domain.. you can just..

[carmine pecan]

Compare this to a javascript book I will wait

[scenic maple]

not even frontend?

[carmine pecan]

no

[molten bobcat]

Ask the domain controller.. via like cmd prompt lmao

[muted olive]

[undone fossil]

How is this easier than C

[austere sinew]

I'll let them know to not let you back in

[undone fossil]

C is just .h .c and they’re the same

[ornate ibex]

until someone starts writing unsafe code.

[undone fossil]

im so glad i saved my obsidian notes in my onedrive this time

[scenic maple]

thats a stellar question

[devout sail]

Rust engineer when wd40 walks in

[meager kernel]

i didnt lose much when i nuked my system

[molten bobcat]

You nuke your system every other day

[muted olive]

install AV on your onedrive

[molten bobcat]

Just saying, that host has to have the most confusing forensics trail ever

[meager kernel]

antivirus?
why though

[rapid badger]

LF rust engineer to re-write windows. Min output 1mil loc per month

[muted olive]

just memeing

its because AV would nuke your notes anyway

[meager kernel]

lmao true

[devout sail]

Yeah 💀

[meager kernel]

i had to add an exception in my windows defender

so it doesnt touch my notes

[muted olive]

I couldn't install impacket because my AV was on

[meager kernel]

cause earlier it would just completely remove the whole vault cause of my sqlinjection notes and everything

[devout sail]

Bloodhound too

[muted olive]

kept breaking 10000 times so I disabled it

[meager kernel]

i remember everytime i wrote my reverse shell code in obsidian, BOOM
gone!

[devout sail]

I remember installing something called Hayabusa for some challenges

[molten bobcat]

It's fine just trying downloading mimikatz straight to fucking disk because apparently that's just what real life threat actors will do

[devout sail]

And few of the files got deleted

[supple plume]

time to code

[molten bobcat]

🙄

[supple plume]

the world is mine

[muted olive]

I have this obsidian plugin to encrypt all my notes so AV doesn't touch them

[molten bobcat]

Echos

[muted olive]

also because I like "security"

[molten bobcat]

You said you would vc yesterday

And then never showed up

[meager kernel]

hmm i never bothered encrypting my notes

theres not much personal material on them

just stuff i wrote

[molten bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/niertism-expedition-33-clair-obscur-simon-gif-16227487912254697310

[muted olive]

I just did it for no reason

Thought it was a cool plugin

[scenic maple]

try zed

[supple plume]

I dont even remember saying it, I am sorry

[molten bobcat]

Hehe

[supple plume]

what's that

[meager kernel]

@supple plume send the deeznuts emoji here

[scenic maple]

its a editor thats not written in js

[supple plume]

golam is here

[scenic maple]

[supple plume]

then what

[scenic maple]

then u will be faster

and get to push more code

[meager kernel]

i love that kali's website gives prebuilt images

it makes shit so easy

all the settings are already done

[scenic maple]

doent every os's website give that

[meager kernel]

i dont think so

[scenic maple]

hmmm

[devout sail]

He has huge experience with different OS
The list is

1. Arch
   And that's it

[undone fossil]

Usually just get an ISO

[molten bobcat]

Not Like Us has been fun to listen to

[undone fossil]

Kali has VMs with install done

[meager kernel]

arch fedora pikaOS windows 10 and 11 kali parrot

[molten bobcat]

WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP

[meager kernel]

oh also debian and Mint

[scenic maple]

whats pika os

[supple plume]

he has a wide range of experience with multiple OSs but only for 5 minutes each

[molten bobcat]

I'm usually not a fan of rap at all but Kendrick is pretty consistently fun to listen to

[meager kernel]

some new obscure distro i installed last night at 4 AM and then nuked away

[scenic maple]

sounds like ubuntu

[meager kernel]

its built on debian

[undone fossil]

Debian with drivers

[meager kernel]

but its like completely made for gaming

[undone fossil]

And maybe audio

[carmine pecan]

drivers on Linux?

[meager kernel]

ehh it didnt have support for my razer mouse so i nuked it

[undone fossil]

Unsure given it’s Linux

[carmine pecan]

Where Monolithic

[supple plume]

why did I read I usually dont fap on rap

[molten bobcat]

Lmao

[meager kernel]

great thing i have 2 PCs, one of which is running windows 10

[molten bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/saydrake-drake-kendrick-kendrick-lamar-kendrick-drake-gif-11873574064135846209

[undone fossil]

We had an osu lan and we all had to sit there configuring drivers for 10mins first to setup the drawing tablets

[carmine pecan]

Windows 9 was the best Winlows

[molten bobcat]

That smile

[meager kernel]

so if i nuke my main PC, i can use the second one to fix the first one

[scenic maple]

i should make my own distro
archlinux with drivers installed and call it driver os

[meager kernel]

you should get a job 🗣️

[carmine pecan]

You mean CachyOS

[carmine pecan]

golux71

[meager kernel]

working well?

[devout sail]

It's good but I haven't really used it much

Busy af in handing over and taking over job

[meager kernel]

i just should start taking care of my health again
i have started gaining weight again and im becoming lazy

my sleep schedule is also fucked now

[scenic maple]

what are your new responsibilities

[supple plume]

golux - arch with xcfe destop and sh for terminal, the rest is up to you

and js preinstalled xd

ahahahha\

[scenic maple]

i actually wanted to make something like that

but then archinstall came out

[molten bobcat]

Echo

Up to vc

[scenic maple]

altho a lot of scripts did exist back then

[supple plume]

[carmine pecan]

Yup

[wanton dock]

i am probably going to remain near washington d.c. for the next few years. i would actually join the military if i weren't disqualified due to psych meds and ulcerative colitis

[dusky jacinth]

heeeeeeeeell yeah

[wanton dock]

i am probably just going to see if i can work regular IT, but it would be cool to work for a defense contractor, i just doubt they'd go through the process of getting me a security clearance when they can hire veterans

[dusky jacinth]

but with a soju dispenser though

[undone fossil]

Depends on skill set

[proper fractal]

do you have your sec+ yet

or ccna

[undone fossil]

Oh god

[wanton dock]

no but i've been working on CCNA

[undone fossil]

Yes soju dispenser is so so based

Taking it home

[wanton dock]

i have an INE course for it

[dusky jacinth]

I dont' know anything about security clearance ngl

[proper fractal]

nice I got mine a few years ago

[dusky jacinth]

i'll learn it when I get there

[undone fossil]

It sucks

[dusky jacinth]

yeah I had a feeling it was

[undone fossil]

I don’t want to go for one but depending on what level you need, it can be a massive pain

[proper fractal]

why do certs have to cost $200+ for each test are they trying to pass go or something

[dusky jacinth]

How often has it been a req for you while doing previous consulting work?

I rarely hear about it in all honesty, but I'm not really around anyone that has to worry about it

[dusky jacinth]

the A+ was really dumb for that

[proper fractal]

gl finding free certs womp womp

[dusky jacinth]

I wasn't planning on it in all honest

Many continuing education courses from colleges provide vouchers. You can apply for FAFSA and depending on your eligibility (and state) you may be approved for grants that'll pay for the course. That's how I got my A+ cert and will likely be how I get my next cert if I still qualify this year

[restive current]

that icon near the name is so cool.

happy halloween

[quick willow]

this is the section form i have for the reporting app. everything in red is something that would be set in client to client. the green is stuff that you can implement as a template. this is the internal, so it can support assumed breach and Rogue device narratives (hence the checkbox)

also have this implemented as well

[jaunty pulsar]

[frozen zinc]

Any Spanish programmer who has experience with freelancing in Spain?? I have a few questions

[proper fractal]

Lo siento, senor, solo trabajo como freelance por internet sorry 🙁

[austere sigil]

English please

[proper fractal]

I only freelance in the internet

heh

I can speak arabic a little 😛

[proper fractal]

10 - 4 😛

[green kite]

67

[frozen zinc]

I need to bill my first company and I'm stressed

[green kite]

Sounds like you need help from an accountant buddy

[austere sigil]

Aaaaaaaa

[green kite]

Don’t go freelancing and winging it without knowing how shit works lol. The taxman will have your balls for breakfast

[frozen zinc]

And a programmer also bcs the company is not very tech savvy... they have no IT deparment... and they probably wont pay what they should be paying

so I need also a grasp about how much to ask

[green kite]

Well, there’s Facebook groups out there, at least here in Belgium

It all depends on region etc and what the “idiot pays for it”

[frozen zinc]

I dont use facebook sir

dont even have account anymore

[green kite]

Contact an accountant, they can help you. They know how taxes work

[frozen zinc]

Iv done that already

[green kite]

I couldn’t live without my accountant

[rapid badger]

Call your competition and pretend you are a client. Get a price 😄 "fake business" is fun.

[frozen zinc]

im not worry about that too much... I already have a tax strategy

Im more worry about the billing itself

[green kite]

Sounds like you need to talk some more to your accountant and do some market research.

You should agree on a price before you work on stuff

[frozen zinc]

I need a programmer with freelancing experience in spain lol

[austere sigil]

You need one or you are one?

[green kite]

No you don’t, if you worry about pricing after doing a job, you need a business plan

[austere sigil]

Snow!

[dusky jacinth]

ideal spot to die alone

[frozen zinc]

I'm one but I never bill a costumer before

and Im more like a company seems like

[austere sigil]

You worked for free?

[frozen zinc]

bcs I have to setup the entire AWS also

[frozen zinc]

I used to have a boss

and now is my client

[molten bobcat]

My queue is empty yet again

[rapid badger]

Saw a 60 year old woman run outside at -20 today dude eh maybe early 50

[molten bobcat]

Purely because I know how to use the netstat command apparently

[frozen zinc]

and spain is different....

[austere sigil]

I love me some Spanish sardines in olive oil

[frozen zinc]

I wasnt even hired as a programmer... I was hired as back office, but I managed to turn my job in to full IT

and then I managed to turn my boss in to my client

believe or not

[green kite]

Make sure there’s no law about that

If you do that here in Belgium, you’ll both get fined lol

[rapid badger]

Huh

[green kite]

Moving from employee to freelance with the same job, taxman will both have your assess as they’ll think you’re evading taxes

And the companies are evading social contributions

[frozen zinc]

cool think is that as i said i was hired as back office

and this will be billed as IT stuff

[gray wraith]

In Poland there is something called proforma

[frozen zinc]

and I also have accountant already helping me with all

[gray wraith]

It is a document that company pays first

[frozen zinc]

that would be awesome

[gray wraith]

And then, after payment, you do your job

[austere sigil]

Poland Mountain!

[frozen zinc]

thats very useful! I will look it to thanks!!

[gray wraith]

Itd be best to ask a spanish accountant to see if you even have smth like that

[green kite]

Time for physical therapy

[molten bobcat]

I'm having a good day I think

[frozen zinc]

I didnt thought about something like that being possible

[gray wraith]

If u work b2b you totally need an accountant

You might be overpaying taxes etc

[austere sigil]

Like me…

[proper fractal]

I thought a writeup was when you got in trouble at work but who knows

[frozen zinc]

im seriusly thinking about moving to ireland

I will try to bill then a monthly maintenance quota apart from the full deployment ( plus AWS configuration from zero)

[frozen zinc]

I got an official one that I will pay for and then I got a friend that study that maybe will want to do it for me

but I will use the experience one to get started and then my friend to the small things

She needs experience also in her CV

Who mod the mods in the place btw? LOL

protip ||chat gepeto is not an accountant||

[ocean cloud]

I have an important question. For example, when searching for an exploit for Ubuntu and a specific kernel version, we usually search on Google or Exploit-DB like this:
searchsploit Linux 14.x ...
After that, we search for a PoC using the title.

The problem is that sometimes the exploit exists and works, but the title does not include the OS name or the version—only a generic title.
For example: "Ubuntu namespace privesc".

Because of this, you may not be able to find the exploit easily, and this caused me many problems yesterday. I wasted a lot of time searching for a privilege escalation exploit for a specific Ubuntu version.
After searching a lot, I finally found a PDF write-up that mentioned a suitable exploit. I tried it, and it worked.

My question is: is there a way to avoid wasting time and find exploits by searching based on the version, instead of relying only on the title?

[gray wraith]

I would not trust LLMs in any tax stuff tbf

[frozen zinc]

No but in this case is true

we dont have that

[tranquil pivot]

any online staff

[frozen zinc]

We are still in holidays, I need to go again Wednesday

tomorrow is still holidays here

[proud moth]

i gave this question to an intern today, who wants to give it a shot

plz no elite hacker answers as this would be immediately obvious to you guys RIP

[dusky jacinth]

You could just modify the extension, type, content via like a web proxy? Assuming this is a web storage application

[proud moth]

you could, but they would get checked correctly

[dusky jacinth]

Also just try and crack the hash?

Weak password security?

Like their password being password

[candid lark]

ye

[proud moth]

there is no hash, the passwords are stored as AES ciphertexts in the database, the weak password is not really a problem of the application but of the user

so nope

but you are on some good reasoning

[dusky jacinth]

Is there a null login?

[molten bobcat]

That's not relevant I don't think

[dusky jacinth]

No default creds either I presume

Idk I’m trying to keep it simple for now

[molten bobcat]

It's just an authentication mechanism we're not even looking at a login field

[dusky jacinth]

Just PTH?

[molten bobcat]

They're rolling their own auth by keeping password strings

There's no hash

[dusky jacinth]

Idk then

[molten bobcat]

AES ciphertext strings

[candid lark]

when you say that the extension if checked , if someone do a double extension , it can bypass the verification , or it is really secure for that too?

[proud moth]

the extension, type, content are all checked securely and properly

[molten bobcat]

Password passed through AES

[candid lark]

i mean not having hash is kinda bad

[dusky jacinth]

Does it have to do with the method of authentication

[proud moth]

the two security issues are:

• passwords are encrypted and not hashed, meaning they can be recovered by anyone with the key, AES is also symmetric which makes it even worse
• the size of the PDF is not checked, allowing arbitrarily large files which would exhaust the server

[dusky jacinth]

The PDF thing makes sense. I guess I wasn’t thinking about that from an exploitive perspective

[molten bobcat]

.. a DOS?

[dusky jacinth]

The passwords thing though I need to read up on

[molten bobcat]

The second one is a DOS weakness lol

[proud moth]

yep

[molten bobcat]

The thought process I had was.. is there something about PDF databases that makes this suspicious?

Like, how they handle and process data from PDFs might be different than a simple input sanitization is sufficient to mitigate

[proud moth]

yeah it's kind of a question revolving around hashing and file upload

[molten bobcat]

I mean to be fair

The PDF is checked to make sure it's a PDF sure

Who's checking to see if it's not a malicious PDF?

[proud moth]

yeah you can make some loopholes i'll give you that 😄

[molten bobcat]

And now there's phishing pdfs

In ur upload

[candid lark]

i had in mind the double extension , ssrf and the hash when you asked , didnt remember the DoS one

[molten bobcat]

I didn't think about the file size

Good point to bring up

[wanton dock]

i just pwned another box 👍

[molten bobcat]

Please process my 8 Tb PDF have a wonderful day

[proud moth]

i made this PDF with some interview questions this was the fourth one lmao

[proud moth]

the server is SWEATING

[molten bobcat]

I see unrestricted file upload

So much

[dusky jacinth]

I just want everyone to read my 12TB of fanfic dude

[proud moth]

file upload is harsh to make correctly, you need to secure five things:

• extension / filename
• content
• type
• parsing
• size

[dusky jacinth]

if you let me upload my 12TB of fanfic to your server I AM going to do it

[molten bobcat]

People really just be dropping PHP webshells in /tmp/

[dusky jacinth]

it's a compulsion really

[dusky jacinth]

if you take in account uploading to AWS or similar then there are other things too

[proud moth]

oh that's cool like what?

i don't know much about AWS

[molten fog]

my code it looks it works but 5 min later everything crashes XD

[supple plume]

keys, permissions, bucket names

it usually happens 2 different ways through a post request to a webapp usually and it handles internally or the app gives the keys to the client and the upload can happen directly from the client side

[carmine pecan]

Your code is a 2-wheeled car?

That reminds me about a movie scene when a Sergeant named Major Major Major got promoted to Major so he would be called Major Major Major Major

[molten fog]

XD

i know that scene

[fiery copper]

Cuz his father decided to play a prank on his birth certificate

So basically bro was pranked at birth and was set for life based on that joke

And the General made the Sergeant into a Major so the Sergeant wouldnt be called Sergeant Major
