[boreal pike]

Conversor, lmao.

Good catch!

[bronze glen]

I'm indian (hello buddy. thank you come again) it's like almost 1 am here

[timber field]

Oh lmao

Me too

[bronze glen]

acha hai

[stable tiger]

thats the one with the redacted

[timber field]

Yes aacha hai

[bronze glen]

yea- that bothered me a bit

[upbeat tangle]

Working in a kolkata call center

[boreal pike]

Can't talk about that in such detail I believe, but to answer the question, yeah!

[stable tiger]

why?

[stable tiger]

oops

redacted it!

[boreal pike]

[stable tiger]

call me the DoJ

[bronze glen]

were'nt you swedish

[bronze glen]

idk man- XML scares me

[boreal pike]

DoJ!

[upbeat tangle]

yes haha

im just joking with you

[bronze glen]

ohhh

ya i just got it XD

[boreal pike]

Me when I google XML scripts:

[bronze glen]

what's DoJ

[stable tiger]

epstein files redaction joke

[boreal pike]

Da overly joyous.

[bronze glen]

oh

lmaoo i get it

[boreal pike]

Okay, I'm gonna drink my milk and eat my cookies too!

Bye folks!

[stable tiger]

the issue is the moment you google the injection type needed for the box you see about fifty diff writeups on the machine (even tho its an active box but i guess they just dgaf about ToS)

[boreal pike]

😘

[molten bobcat]

Shower acquired

[boreal pike]

Didn't have that issue, what?

[molten bobcat]

Coffee made

[boreal pike]

EW! SHOWERS!!

[wanton dock]

i just showered too

[bronze glen]

that was actually so creative- you didn't get enough credit

[stable tiger]

[boreal pike]

Why tf people showering?! 😭

[bronze glen]

grown man btw

[stable tiger]

discord moment

[boreal pike]

[molten bobcat]

Standing my kitchen staring at my phone like 🤨

[bronze glen]

what's a shower?

[timber field]

Lmaooo

[boreal pike]

I dunno what it is but the word scares me.

[bronze glen]

[boreal pike]

Also, can't wait to refresh my underwear in 351 days.

[wanton dock]

so theres this thing called a shower head, it's round, ejects water, then theres a usually glass wall. the shower is next to a wall, but theres a kind of insulation so the water doesnt ruin the wall

i can continue if you want

[bronze glen]

nah i'm indian, sounds scary.

[timber field]

Lolll

[boreal pike]

So you just go stand underneath it? Clothes and all?

[molten bobcat]

No no that's the neat part

ong bro the AI slop is crazy rn

[upbeat tangle]

The Sloppening

or should we go as far to call it "The Great Sloppening"

[stable tiger]

thats all u bro

[molten bobcat]

Dude you hit hacker rank..

Nice work dude

[upbeat tangle]

thanks

but i think its a plateu for now

need to study more and do more retired machine again

its fun

@molten bobcat What are you up to then

[molten bobcat]

Workin like usual

Sipping my coffee and cleaning out the queue

[fiery copper]

yo unc Ill make ur feels better

what happened

[upbeat tangle]

i think sickness in the body, like virus

[fiery copper]

I think Ill have to schedule my learning on HTB learning for later, gotta prepare for a job interview

[upbeat tangle]

but usually i dont get the flu or getting a cold, my body just beats the virus

i just feel it and then after couple days its gone

[fiery copper]

sometimes even the best of us fall

I get colds when I wear heavy clothes, but I dont get a cold when I go with shorts during winter to the supermarket

[upbeat tangle]

maybe you should wear shorts more often than

[gray wraith]

North korean spies are not real

[upbeat tangle]

Got any more tough ones since last time?

[fiery copper]

Im afraid of the glowies from the dark

its eliteball knowledge

[upbeat tangle]

I need some recommendations from chat. Retired medium machine thats fun to do

Im considering "jeeves", its rated 4.9

[molten bobcat]

None so far

Just close outs

[silver forge]

I ated crawfish today, it was yummy

[stable tiger]

setup script works

neat

[supple plume]

hey

ill check

web or ad?

[silver forge]

web is irrelevant

[zealous charm]

[supple plume]

irrelevant is now relevant

[upbeat tangle]

doesnt matter

[bronze glen]

jeeves is real old

but still an OG one

[supple plume]

check dms

[silver forge]

looks vaguely similar, I may have solved that in the past

[thick forge]

Hack the box

[silver forge]

tbh I tried speed running them so much I don't think I really learnt anything, which was a huge mistake

[reef vortex]

Hi everyone, how are you? Could you recommend an affordable laptop to start studying at Hack The Box?

[stable tiger]

do you have any machine currently?

you don't always need a new box (also, pwnbox exists)

[reef vortex]

Believe me, just opening several tabs on my laptop makes it very slow.

[fierce osprey]

i wish I could show you stuff I did with this but no image perms

connected to $100k worth of technology rn

christ this is beautiful

from homeless to this

thank god

[raven ridge]

Hi

I found user flag and root flag and its give me incorrect flag how can i solve the problem?

[winged ridge]

This sauce was so good

[molten bobcat]

Nice

[supple plume]

Vro your iq is under 0

[molten bobcat]

I can't fuckin stand sesame oil

[gray wraith]

I didnt use it, tbh i dont know how it tastes

[molten bobcat]

God

It's all you can taste

[gray wraith]

I have a tiny vrudge against soy sauce

[molten bobcat]

It's incredibly powerful

[gray wraith]

Because its taste is so overwhelming

[molten bobcat]

If something has sesame oil you'll be aware of it a room away

I'd rather smell garlic and tomatoes.. hoh momma..

[fiery copper]

I ate 400g of bread 200g of low calorie meat and salt puffs

Food too expensive maybe Ill eat a can of tuna

But I aint hungry

Therefore Ill drink coffee and pepsi at 12am

I dunno food markets be more expensive

I went to some, its cheaper in supermarkets

I usually buy stuff with coupons I get, coupons and shit

[chrome lichen]

Are there any people between 13 and 17 years old who want to learn cybersecurity together? I prefer learning with a duo/trio/small team and i like helping others

[fiery copper]

Just a safety question, are you within that age range?

[chrome lichen]

OF COURSE 😭

[fiery copper]

Then its good

[chrome lichen]

yeahh

[fiery copper]

You could ask Donut, he is within that range and that guy is a machine

[chrome lichen]

A machine like hes already a pro?

[dusky jacinth]

ITS @austere sinew BORTHDAY??!!!?!?!

HAPPY BERF!!!

[fiery copper]

Ask him

[dusky jacinth]

He is a very good competitive programmer

From my current understanding of the kid

[chrome lichen]

which donut is it theres like 5

[fiery copper]

Im a very bad uncompetitive programmer

[fiery copper]

The one that is a donut

[chrome lichen]

lol im more into cybersecurity than programming i know it goes well together but still

[chrome lichen]

Donutmaster?

[fiery copper]

The Donut King himself

Better ping the guy than dming him

Starting to DM a guy you dont know is creepy

My opinion

[chrome lichen]

Yeah that's what i meant like maybe he dont accept dms

[lament kelp]

@devout yacht

[stable tiger]

they go hand in hand

[fiery copper]

Depends, you can be a good cybersecurity guy without being a good programmer

[stable tiger]

if ur a blueteamer

[fiery copper]

Most jobs are blue team

[chrome lichen]

@cerulean bloom im trying to learn cybersecurity and i like it more when im not alone, they told me you were in my age range so im asking you if you wanna talk or "learn" together

[chrome lichen]

Yeah that's what i meant by it goes well together lol

[chrome lichen]

true

[stable tiger]

understanding malware (tier 2 soc) requires programming knowledge

so even then

you need to know it

[fiery copper]

You can still have programming knowledge and be a bad programmer

[chrome lichen]

Im a noob i didn't even finish the basics i dont really need it right now

[stable tiger]

good luck reversing complex malware if you dont know basic win32 api

[stable tiger]

ye i dont mean you i mean in general

[dusky jacinth]

I mean to be good at anything tech related you need to be a good programmer

[stable tiger]

real

[dusky jacinth]

You gotta understand asm and C atleast

The bare minimum

But embedded systems and backend is probably like most valuable?

Idk I’m not a cybersec expert of developer

But in my study of cybersec. Having taken the time to study and gather a basic understanding of those things has helped me tremendously in every other thing I do in tech so far

[rapid badger]

Not everybody reverses complex malware, just like not everybody writes systems that require <1ms response

[stable tiger]

idk avoiding programming is never gonna help you

[dusky jacinth]

I agree with that

[stable tiger]

it's used in every aspect

[dusky jacinth]

It will only make you better imo

[stable tiger]

yup

[dusky jacinth]

But like I said

[rapid badger]

Well sure 🙂

[dusky jacinth]

I don’t have lots of credibility to say what’s most valuable

But yeah I mean not everyone is going to need it in their day to day

Not everyone’s cutout for rev eng or mal dev

[stable tiger]

anything outside of barebones soc entry youll need it

[chrome lichen]

Do i need to know that as a beginner or its only when i get pro

[dusky jacinth]

You should learn python first

It’s what I did

[chrome lichen]

oke

[dusky jacinth]

C and asm would be for more technically in depth things

And will help you tremendously with rev Eng

[stable tiger]

understanding vulnerabilities requires programming knowledge

how do you know what the fuckup is if you cant even read it

[dusky jacinth]

But rn? That’s a lot to cram in your brain without a more abstracted understanding

So I recommend learn python. Harvard has a free course

[stable tiger]

even if you didnt touch reverse engineering imagine never doing any automation in your life

[dusky jacinth]

And then build some crap

[dusky jacinth]

My job won’t let me…

I want to so bad

[rapid badger]

I am not saying you dont need programming, ofc you do. Just saying that not everybody does crazy malware analysis

[stable tiger]

that wasnt even the topic of the convo

that was an example

[stable tiger]

lmao do you have experience?

[dusky jacinth]

Plenty

To automate some of the dumb shit I have to do all day? I 100% can build something efficient and safe

[fiery copper]

bro has bottles of experience stacked on a shelf

[dusky jacinth]

I mean I’ve done some really small PowerShell scripts for the team that automate some information gathering

And like proper file formatting, but they won’t let me do anything else. It’s our parent company and our partner company that won’t allow it

As part of their least privileged policy lol

Which idk ig if I get

Pretty annoying though

[stable tiger]

ah i thought you meant RE mb

[dusky jacinth]

Ohhhhh

No none in actual RE

[stable tiger]

Nah dw i misread

Ill never understanding why people WANT to avoid programming

[dusky jacinth]

It’s hard

[stable tiger]

its not

[dusky jacinth]

Takes more time than you want

Less than you need

[dusky jacinth]

For most it is

Until they do it

[stable tiger]

C is literally

function

if else
else if

while
for

array

not that crazy

[dusky jacinth]

I’m not saying it is for us

That logically makes sense to us

[stable tiger]

innit

[dusky jacinth]

For people who don’t understand why that shit works it’s like you’re writing some made up magical tongue

[stable tiger]

i start people off on scratch when they ask me what to learn

[dusky jacinth]

But I also think it’s mostly laziness

[stable tiger]

easiest shit in the world to realise ur just typing out big colourful blocks

[dusky jacinth]

Def a great place to start

So so so simple

When I was a kid that’s how I first learned

Like I was 9 or 10 or something g

[stable tiger]

like, simple scratch program on the right, on the left an ide recreating it

[stable tiger]

i rawdogged assembly

[dusky jacinth]

Imagine

[stable tiger]

#autism

the lower level you go the more complicated programming looks but the simpler it is

[dusky jacinth]

Same twin

This is a fact

It’s just hard to keep track of the moving pieces until you have more experience imo

But it’s all just mv jmp or xor

Lol

[stable tiger]

like assembly is ridiculously simple when you realise it's just do this to this piece of data and do this to this bit of memory

over and over

half the work is done for you (syscalls) so its just free

[dusky jacinth]

Yeaa

Goofy lil language

[stable tiger]

objdump chad vs ida virgin

[dusky jacinth]

I don’t have ida 😎

[stable tiger]

ida free

[dusky jacinth]

OBJDUMP >>> babyyyyyy

[dusky jacinth]

I know but I just don’t do anything where I need it rn

So I don’t have it

[stable tiger]

learn exploit dev

[dusky jacinth]

I want to

[stable tiger]

why dont you

[dusky jacinth]

Still building some fundamentals for pentesting

[stable tiger]

rawdog the pipeline

[dusky jacinth]

It’s the speciality I wanna do though

[stable tiger]

theyre seperate

[dusky jacinth]

I wanna be good at using them together

Plus I need to get this cert for a better job

[stable tiger]

ur not really using a 0day on a pentest

pentesting is just finding the existing misconfigs and vulns
exploit dev is finding a bug, building the exploit code

[dusky jacinth]

I didn’t say I’d be a pentester forever heheh

[stable tiger]

oh fair

you doing cpts

[dusky jacinth]

Ye ye

[stable tiger]

im also doing cpts

i went in reverse

[dusky jacinth]

I need to lock in and focus on it, but my next thing will def be studying mal analysis, rev Eng and exploit dev as a whole

[dusky jacinth]

Probably makes it easier lol

[stable tiger]

why mal analysis

just do maldev

u wanna do offensive security

[stable tiger]

very much so

in my case anyway

[dusky jacinth]

Well i think it’s interesting

[dusky jacinth]

I do, correct. But yknow just as a skill builder

Reading through PMA rn just to get some more exposure to stuff

I’m gonna spend more time doing actual rev Eng though

[stable tiger]

rawdog crackmes

thats the meta

[lost olive]

If anyone has a spare moment to go over a basic beginner question, I'm stumped on how to format my text for the optional ppart of the first skill assessment

[stable tiger]

in what course

Today's going better than yesterday at least

For me personally

I'm aware the world has been on fire for years now

[dusky jacinth]

I’ve heard nightmare.io is also good

[dusky jacinth]

I’m jus waiting for the day I get drafted

That doomsday clock just keeps a ticking

[stable tiger]

thats great for exploit dev

[dusky jacinth]

Yeah imma def spend some time there

[hoary cove]

I am stuck for a while

has anyone here done 18 its an active directory machine

[fierce osprey]

I have gemini pro for free so no limits for me basically

no clue about free though

but christ its too powerful

I can confirm it can go beyond college level cybersecurity easily

The amount of times I was stuck on hack the box and it helped me learn everything, it’s too good

I would talk more but I’m already done with cybersecurity for the day enjoy amigo

[turbid goblet]

anyone know of a good solutions to local admin on windows computers that can keep track of different passwords and rotate them (in a blue way)

like CyberQP for local admin accounts

[fierce osprey]

hint hint

ask it to open a tab, then sign in to hack the box academy open parrot os through there and then watch the ai control the operating system

you’re welcome

enjoy

because the kerberos port is closed

how am I suppose to request the ticket port 88 is filtered

I am trying to somehow run the impacket script getST.py inside winrm

please guide me

figure it out yourself

Or you know…

bruh please any hint

any thing

or the third option

which I literally just shared

lol

[hoary cove]

huh third option xD or you know

I actually don#t

[fiery copper]

ok hi

[chrome tree]

Speaking facts

[fierce osprey]

antigravity

[hoary cove]

I did

[fierce osprey]

but don’t use it just to have it do it for you

[fierce osprey]

antigravity + cloud operating system

=

an ai that can use an operating system and teach you

while being powered by the expensive OPUS 4.5

all free btw

opus 4.5 costs a leg just to use

google is letting everyone use it for free somehow

they burning billions just to keep up with chatgpt

but they’re doing it right

[hoary cove]

ohh I see I'll try right now I am trying to make getST.py run in Evilwinrm

fixing every error that comes

[fierce osprey]

just don’t use it for evil

[hoary cove]

I am just stuck on 18 I need someone to point me in the right direction

since the port on kerberos is filtered

[valid shale]

hi guys. i just started my cybersecurity journey. starting with HTB junior analyst.

just wondering: what are the current opportunities for AI security/ AI-powered cybersecurity startups?

[valid shale]

it seems to be quite competitive now

[dusky jacinth]

Yea I was gonna say it seems like portforwarding, pivoting, and tunneling aren’t being tried

But I was waiting for someone with experience to say it

[wooden dust]

Imagine you are noob in bug bounty then found a bug that pays $100,000 that will be crazy. Instant luck

[sharp axle]

hey guys i just got offered a Bachelor in cyber security, is it worth

or do i js do engineering

[fluid gate]

does anyone recommends any PowerShell course or training module for begginers?

[wooden dust]

Yes, PowerShell play very important role

I said it more important than Python

If you doing testing windows

[sharp axle]

ok i might js do engineering

[wooden dust]

Yeah comp sci degree worth more than cyber security

[dusky jacinth]

There’s a free YT series a guy has on it

[dusky jacinth]

Do CompSci

Or comp Eng

If Eng and you hate yourself do EE

Heheheh

Everybodies already written all the scripts I could need

[sharp axle]

electrical engineering?

[dusky jacinth]

Yeah lol

[sharp axle]

might do aeronautical

/aerospace

[dusky jacinth]

You wanna do cyber sec?

[sharp axle]

is it good?

i wanna design planes

[dusky jacinth]

He pentests fighter jets

I don’t actually know that

I do know someone who does though

[sharp axle]

😭

what does one do

as a aerospace engineer

wut

[dusky jacinth]

Bruh

[sharp axle]

lol

[dusky jacinth]

He pentests in the aerospace field

Put two and two together

He pentests fighter jets

That’s my presumption

[sharp axle]

how the heck does that work

[dusky jacinth]

There’s a computer in it

You hack it

[sharp axle]

yeah fair enoughbb

i have 6 preferences

i got accepted for bachelor of Cs

but thats ass apparently so ill change em

[rich radish]

I was in a nightclub once

I told a girl i was a penetration tester

[dusky jacinth]

It’s not ass

It’s just more breadth than depth

[rich radish]

Got reported for sexual harrassment

[dusky jacinth]

And highly specific to the Uni

[rich radish]

Jk

[sharp axle]

griffith university AUS

comp SCI is so hard to come by

[rich radish]

I had a weird dream

I was in a house hunting with 3 other friends for a ghost and all of them died

Then i drove away

[eternal crystal]

nice

[dusky jacinth]

SIGINT is pretty cool

The more I keep hearing about it

The more I’m like hmmmmm

[sharp axle]

sigint?

[dusky jacinth]

The itch is starting to show up in my brain…

[sharp axle]

advanced compSCi or normal compSci

[dusky jacinth]

Wym

[fiery copper]

I had a weird dream

[dusky jacinth]

Are those your options?

I didn’t know advanced CompSci was a major

[sharp axle]

yeah

[dusky jacinth]

What’s the curriculum look like?

[fiery copper]

I think its a Masters Degree but dont understand the point of having fundamentals+

[dusky jacinth]

Also you don’t wanna listen to my advice on school I’m a 3x college drop out

I’m all self taught for my cyber and IT knowledge

And that’d be my advice to you

Just figure it out

[fiery copper]

I managed to finish my Bachelor degree against all odds, my colleague said that if my colleagues bet against me and he bet on me he wouldve won some nice moneys

[sharp axle]

so its better to learn cyber urself

than a uni

i might go through a governing body in AUS

that provides experience

[rich radish]

A bachelor degree is still important

In todays job market

[dusky jacinth]

Depends on the person

HIGHLY dependent on the person

[fiery copper]

Ye learning urself its better, also doing cyber as a bachelor is L tier, but as a Masters degree it would be kinda nice

[rich radish]

Unless you have it experience and branch from there

[sharp axle]

yeah fair enough

[dusky jacinth]

I am confident I don’t need a degree to get a job and am confident in my ability to teach my self very technical concepts

[rich radish]

Alot of entry level roles require a bachelor degree

[sharp axle]

compsci ere we come

[dusky jacinth]

And I’m confident in my soft skills

[fiery copper]

Im confident that I am unemployed 🫠

[dusky jacinth]

If you’re not confident in that you should probably get something that shows you’re qualified

[rich radish]

Its like the bare minimum these days if you have no xp

[gritty onyx]

hey

[rich radish]

So its dangerous advice to say oh you dont need a degree bro

Just work helpdesk for 10 years

[dusky jacinth]

I didn’t say that

[fiery copper]

Well its not necessary to have a degree but it could help

Also if you only want to have the degree and want to be able to also work, try a community college if you are American

[sharp axle]

bachelor of computerscience/master of cyber security

is a dougle degree

[hoary cove]

ohh wow thanks for the help, I'll port forward it, yeah the reason I was tring to run it from winrm was because the port 88 is filtered so I get no response

[rich radish]

Yeah i wouldnt have got my role without my degree

Id say

[wanton dock]

one of the worst decisions ive made i swear to god i would have rather gone to university when i had the chance so i could get the fuck out of my house and actually talk to people in a chill setting

treated myself like a robot who barely needs shit

[fiery copper]

You know that you can transfer from community college to university right?

[wanton dock]

yeah im aware

[dusky jacinth]

Uni is expensive bro

[fiery copper]

Also there is a cheaper route of doing 2 years of community college and 2 years of uni

[dusky jacinth]

Also if you wanna get out that’s a decision you have to actively make

Friends don’t make themselves

Get out

Talk to people

[sharp axle]

americans am i right

[wanton dock]

yeah and go where the fucking mall lol

"hey"

[dusky jacinth]

Wherever you want

If it’s a problem you’ll figure it out

Or you’ll keep complaining about it

[fiery copper]

You could go to the gym

[chrome tree]

Get that associates it saves you a butt load of money. Plus upon completion they have to take your credits. They'll cherry pick what works with their program if not

[dusky jacinth]

I’ve been there so ik what it’s like

[wanton dock]

ok then dont provide a solution if youre not gonna finish it

[dusky jacinth]

It’s awful feeling lonely like that

Or don’t listen to me cause what the fuck do I know right?

Not our problem to fix your life Brodie

But we want to help

[rich radish]

This ai shit is so useless

I called a bank which used ai

To automate the calls

I had to say 5 times to transfer me to a real human

Cus it didnt understand what i was saying

[fiery copper]

Clankers, am I right?

[rich radish]

Truly revolutionary technology

I hate sam altman

Dudes like the epstein of the tech world

[fiery copper]

Sam Altman is the reason I finished my Bachelors

[rich radish]

Bruh lol

[chrome tree]

We can't provide a solution. You could go to uni and end up with a really shite exp. Just cause you see other people having a good time.

I would've done trade instead of university if I could've lol. HVAC makes a metric ton of money.

[fiery copper]

ChatGpt launched exactly when I started my Bachelors

💀

[dusky jacinth]

Truly an insane amount of money

[rich radish]

My condolensces

[chrome tree]

That shit isn't ever going away too

[rich radish]

I thankfully completed my degree without gpt

Except for last year

[dusky jacinth]

Not as long as it’s cold during the winter and hot during the summer LOL

[rich radish]

STEM degrees are actually worth something tho

[chrome tree]

My buddy just went through a course for like 2-4 grand. The contractors who keep coming in try to poach him every time

[rich radish]

Just dont get a degree in liberal arts

[dusky jacinth]

Oh I bet

[fiery copper]

For a lot jobs, having a degree is a requirement

[dusky jacinth]

Electricians make a lot in my area too

[rich radish]

Yeah esp in this job market

[dusky jacinth]

And that shit is easy peasy

[chrome tree]

That's like 5 year apprenticeship though isn't it?

[rich radish]

Cyber sec is also a niche field which entry level jobs are really hard to come by

Compared to software engineering

[dusky jacinth]

Depends

For the electricians I know? Absolutely… ifykwim

Got a couple rusty buckets in that collective yknow

[chrome tree]

I'd consider plumbing too. Everyone needs a shite pipe ran in their domicile.

[rich radish]

Who tf wants to work as a plumber

[chrome tree]

God I have dyslexic fingers

[fiery copper]

Im preparing to see if I can get a Help Desk job 💀

[rich radish]

VR gaming sounds better

And living with mommy

Every zoomer wants a remote job

[dusky jacinth]

I hate help desk

That’s kinda what I do rn

But I’m a problem solver type

[chrome tree]

Just remember most of the jpb is literally turning it off and on. And people consider a restart a shutdown

[dusky jacinth]

I can’t stand having to abide by the client

[chrome tree]

don't let them gas light you. They didn't turn it off and on again lmao

[dusky jacinth]

I don’t like customer service

[rich radish]

Also being likeable is v important in getting jobs

More than qualifications

[chrome tree]

Not based on my boss lmao

I like him but everyone else complains lol

[rich radish]

In like 99% of cases

You will have more connections and more oppurtunities

I think one mistake i made when i was younger was i was too headstrong or eager

That came across like i didnt have respect for authority

I kinda cringe at it now

[frigid mountain]

what's happening folx?

[rich radish]

But small stuff like that really affect your chances

[wanton dock]

im so mad

i could have bagged a wife years ago

[chrome tree]

Nah, you just need to read the 48 rules of power. Head strong and eager is good. Just don't outshine the guy above you so it doesn't look like you're trying to gun for the job

[wanton dock]

bro i dont even make money right now 😂

[meager kernel]

whats the discussion about here

[rich radish]

48 laws of power sucks

[fiery copper]

I have to move 300km to take the test for the job

[rich radish]

Just have a quiet sense of confidence

[chrome tree]

Great example. Needed a cable run that is going to be asked to be done tomorrow in meeting. Did it and told my boss to let them know WE took care of it so we can focus on the contractor coming in. lol

[rich radish]

And be humble

[chrome tree]

take it with a grain of salt lol

[rich radish]

And aware of social contexts

Oh lol

[sharp axle]

can i dm someone about

a career option

[alpine pumice]

might have luck in #careers-and-certs

[fiery copper]

Crazy work I be having for an entry-level job, the boss of a small company makes me move 300km to take his test

[sharp axle]

military

like cyber through them

[rich radish]

Bruh just get a mail order bride

[fiery copper]

At this point if I aint getting a job, I might consider becoming a military officer

[alpine pumice]

yeah that channel i pointed out is a great place to ask

[sharp axle]

ik im sorry

[chrome tree]

Pick up lady of night. Pay her to be wife.

[alpine pumice]

no need to be sorry

[wanton dock]

im gonna marry one of those tesla robots

[rich radish]

Like the good ol days

[rich radish]

Or that tbh

[meager kernel]

sometimes this chat heads in such a weird direction

[chrome tree]

Shouldn't you be looking for Atreus?

[fiery copper]

Weird in a good way or bad way?

[chrome tree]

https://tenor.com/view/kratos-heart-kratos-heart-god-of-war-god-of-war-ragnarok-gif-27089804

[meager kernel]

hes sleeping

[wanton dock]

i want to take a bat and destroy my monitors

they have bug stains all over them

[meager kernel]

both

[fiery copper]

I like the Kratos from God of War 3 more

Ngl

[meager kernel]

whatever floats your boat

[chrome tree]

Good dad you are.

[fiery copper]

[chrome tree]

I didn't really take to Ragnarok too well. That first one though was solid. The jump from Roman to Norse was a good way to go

[meager kernel]

*Greek to Norse

I personally enjoyed all GoWs

they all show the same character through different spectrums

[chrome tree]

Thank you. Brain is mush after 6:30 to 5 today lol

My favorite weapon was Artemis. I cleaved through so many

[meager kernel]

GoW 2018 showed Kratos handling a youngling son
Ragnarok showed Kratos handling a teenager

[meager kernel]

yea its a good weapon
useful for speedruns where you need to glitch through stuff

[chrome tree]

Looks sick as hell too. I'm a sucker for a giant/two handed sword. Long Live Zwiehander! lol

[chrome tree]

I just didn't like how it focused on Atreus more. I want Kratos if I'm playing GoW

Ragnarok that is

[meager kernel]

the ironwood section is my only complain from that game

the whole atreus section bored me

[chrome tree]

I liked the ending concept though, for bringing about Ragnarok's fruition with the fire from his blades and that guys heart.

[meager kernel]

true

[warm dome]

yeah i have some custom software i did up myself a while ago, i usually set it to use a mcp server to control it so i can optimise it a little better

[meager kernel]

I liked the valhalla DLC too, i still sometimes play it whenever Im bored

[chrome tree]

That shit was trippy! I really liked how they brought back Helios though.

If i'm remembering correctly

[dusky jacinth]

I never played em

I might pick up the series though if it goes on sale again

[meager kernel]

yea they did

to replace mimir at times

[fierce osprey]

this is barely the start, imagine in 10 years from now

[chrome tree]

Yeah! When he realized he put mimir in the cage instead of helios lol

[fierce osprey]

it can do more than just operating systems

it can do much much much much more

[fiery copper]

I personally cannot say that I enjoyed all of them, I have some that I dislike

[fierce osprey]

giving me ideas about triple majoring but nah I’m good already with double majoring

[meager kernel]

im tryna do this academy module, it just doesnt connect to the damn machine unless im using the pwnbox

[fierce osprey]

respects for having that, that’s badass of the badass

[chrome tree]

Happens sometimes. What module you working on?

[meager kernel]

some old CJCA modules, thought ill do them since i have CJCA exam token

itll make for good revision

[fiery copper]

So you plan to take the CJCA?

[fierce osprey]

take advantage you can get a master’s in cybersecurity and cheaper with that route

[meager kernel]

yea, i got the token when i got Gold annual subscription, so why not

[fierce osprey]

3 years community college and 2 years of uni and boom masters in cybersecurity

[chrome tree]

Something that might be apart of the CPTS? I'm working through that right now so if it's one in that path I could assist with a sanity check

[meager kernel]

its just very basic stuff
basics of pentesting 😂

[fierce osprey]

I won’t lie it’s good for an introduction to cybersecurity

[meager kernel]

i was bored in the morning so thought ill do it for fun while lying in bed

[fierce osprey]

very very good

[fiery copper]

I think CJCA is more than introductory

[warm dome]

yeah btw, if your hitting limits with it particularly with opus 4.5 try using copilot it supports the model and if u got student email can get free sub, but its also alot cheaper if u wanna upgrade your usage plan

[fiery copper]

But it is at fundamentals level

[fierce osprey]

certified junior cybersecurity analyst right?

[fiery copper]

Entry-level junior

[fierce osprey]

i know but I’m talking about the job path name

[warm dome]

althought tbh only issue with aai moving forward imo, is going to be the cost to usage when things improve more considering the amount its actually doing behind the scenes

[meager kernel]

yea it introduces you to the basics and teaches about both red team and blue team basics

[fierce osprey]

agreed

[fierce osprey]

i mean google is burning billions on opus 4.5 the price is insane

[fiery copper]

I understood that CJCA is harder than eJPT

[chrome tree]

Need giant data center that takes nation's water so I can have my own chatgpt do all of my hacking

[fierce osprey]

hopefully google burns money hopefully they do it for 10 years

[warm dome]

tbh i learn more from labs, academy just reinforces that imo

[fierce osprey]

i doubt it ngl

[warm dome]

yeah, i wouldnt be surprised if cloud ai's eventually cut losses or sky rocket in usage costs

[warm dome]

haha yeah

[fierce osprey]

hack the box academy + antigravity + letsdetend vip+ + sec+ official study guide + professor messor + actual labs = success

10 hour study sessions too

actually you dont need to spend

student sub is enough

[warm dome]

havnt used lets defend yet but i find academy+actual labs +sherlocks are pretty good

[fierce osprey]

if google stops giving opus —/

[fierce osprey]

broo

[warm dome]

i use student as well atm since im doing my masters

[fierce osprey]

its sooooo good

literally loving letsdefend

i stayed up all night doing 6 courses last time

had to control myself since it wasn’t actually boring

[fierce osprey]

wish you luck

[warm dome]

yeah it looks good my issue atm tho is im doing certs+research project+hackthebox labs and academy+softwareprojects+working so time gets limited quickly haha

was trying to push through htb challenges atm for rank but cutting short

[fierce osprey]

understandable you have a life too you aren’t a robot

[meager kernel]

it is?
i see

[sharp axle]

im looking for dis

[fierce osprey]

as long as you don’t hate cybersecurity you’re doing good

just keep going and dont quit

[warm dome]

100%

[fierce osprey]

thats corny but the truth

[warm dome]

"the more you know the less you know"

its never ending study commitment tbh

[fierce osprey]

if opus 4.5 stops being offered for free the quality of antigravity is gonna go down ngl

[wanton dock]

is antigravity any good can someone explain it to me

[fierce osprey]

and the more obsessed you get with wanting to know it all, just do it healthy

[wanton dock]

is it like cursor

[warm dome]

tbh opus 4.5 is lowkey carrying any 'agent' based software atm

[fiery copper]

Well it is because the exam itself is harder and you have to learn more and also you have to make a quality report

[warm dome]

i still wouldnt use it commercial but anything that doesnt need to be hardened like small scripts it seems pretty good with as long as its not commercial

[fierce osprey]

yes, but ngl antigravity is on top rn since its free unlike a certain one that costs $200 a month

[meager kernel]

i see

[warm dome]

yeah, also google ai pro is free for a year if a student

[fierce osprey]

it became a godsend when I gave it the official comptia sec+ study guide

[warm dome]

i think they did just change ai limits to have a weekly cap tho

[fierce osprey]

used it to review old concepts and dang it helped

[fierce osprey]

apply for gemini pro for a year free for students

[warm dome]

yeah i've got it

[fierce osprey]

then that gives you a higher higher way higher cap on antigravity

[fierce osprey]

good use it to its full potential then

[fierce osprey]

so far been using it and havent hit a limit knock on wood

[warm dome]

i'd still rather use jetbrains for actual programing but agent automation still fun to mess with

[fierce osprey]

if I hit a limit I’ll just use my second student account screw it

[fierce osprey]

use all of them at that point

adaptability hits when you can use them all

theres this guy I wanna beat and he gave me that advice but lowkey I doubt I’ll reach his level

multi cloud security architect is light years beyond me

[deep skiff]

hi guys i wanna ask is there any website to know what stack of some great company using for their app/web? i was got reference from some youtuber but forgot to take the note.

[fierce osprey]

I'm OK. getting tired. about to transition to landscape orientation

[sharp axle]

how do i get the noob hacker rank

[frigid mountain]

I have a big meeting with my boss tomorrow to basically tell him either pay me more and give me a title that matches the job you want me to do or I'll do the specific things in my contract job description.

I got a new (used) guitar and I've been playing and practicing that. I have my 3rd lesson on Saturday.

I'm off for 9 days starting on Friday afternoon

so that's nice

[terse dirge]

anyone know any sites for iOS application hacking

like how HTB has Android

[dusky jacinth]

I’m pretty sure offsec has a cert

But it could be macOS

[lusty storm]

damn all good ty tho

[pastel scaffold]

Out of 10 for a begineer how hard is the cpts?

[plush path]

PentesterLab has some Android exercises, haven't seen any sites that have iOS or macOS stuff though

[lusty storm]

maybe a 7-8, as long as you have finished and have notes for all modules in the path

the CPTS exam tries touching most/all modules in one way, shape or form

[pastel scaffold]

Like everything? Even the fundamentals at the start?

[lusty storm]

well the fundamentals are like basic/required knowledge

from memory like linux command line usage etc

[alpine pumice]

Beginner in what.. IT or pentesting?

[pastel scaffold]

pentesting

[lusty storm]

7-8/10 if you just go through the entire role once and have notes to look back on

[alpine pumice]

CPTS is a beginner cert

[pastel scaffold]

perfect 🙂

[alpine pumice]

maybe beginner-intermediate

but it's geared toward beginner pentesters

you need foundational IT knowledge first though

[pastel scaffold]

i failed the pjpt so

[alpine pumice]

its above pjpt

[pastel scaffold]

this seems better for the layout

oh i know

but the layout is better

[alpine pumice]

but the path is also the best content out there

[pastel scaffold]

easier to understand so

[alpine pumice]

it will teach you well

[pastel scaffold]

versus "follow the video and suffer"

oh you dont understand, okay we have a text channel for u to ask your questions with other members.

oh what is that it didn't work, oh people are in the same boat as you and dont have that much knowledge.

looks like the perfect place to develop some kind of weird sonic weapon

and you know if they're announcing it as open they were already using it for a long time

[dusky jacinth]

Oh we’ve had this tech for years

But now it’s public

That’s what’s really scary…

We’re now capable of deploying this tech in combat, in a controlled manner

Meaning it can be accurately directed (unlikely via physics), or we ALSO have anti-rf tech…

This combined with drone warfare is a really scary notion.
