bruh lol

[paper wraith]

Lol is there a way I can run things on mac or atleast in vm without lagg

[hybrid temple]

vms are laggy in general even my vm lags on windows with 8 cores and 16gbs of ram. unfortunatly its one of the limits of vms. ive no experience running vms on mac but im sure its a nightmare lol

[terse dirge]

Some stuff you can't run on mac because the CPUs are arm

[paper wraith]

Yeah but is there a way because it doesn't support the l2 attacks and poisonings

?

[hybrid temple]

is your network set to bridged or nat. it sounds like maybe misconfigured network

?

[paper wraith]

I have tried to run the network attacks on vm and the main attacks in macos with both the vpns running and htb supports that but in offsec exams it doesn't support 2 vpn sessions @hybrid temple

[paper wraith]

Yes everything is correct but there is a limitation of apple silicon arm

It will not support raw packets

Hi there, I am VIP, but can't find the VIP VPN when working on the machines. What happened?

[obtuse fern]

then you don't need others to 'check out your site' :)

[neat abyss]

Okh no problem

[eternal mango]

lol

[meager kernel]

They merged both the VIP and non VIP VPN

You will have same features with both of them

[fierce mango]

It only gives me the free VPN's, not the VIPS. Was working yesterday on a retired machine, but can't go on now.

[meager kernel]

Thats what I'm saying. They merged it, theres no special VIP VPN anymore

some of these AI curl reports are hilarious 🤣

methinks its the migration to dedispawn that's being fucky

maybe some spaghetti in the background

Either make precise arguments without involving AI slop or just stop.

think of it as a name for each ip you put in (I'm dumbing it down) 10.10.1.5 browsed.htb for example Its not only for the website, you can ssh into [e-mail] by doing this too. dns resolves into whatever you put in

p.s. another reason you should really just be getting help in public is because you never know who you're talking to in DM.. not that you know who you're talking to here

Gemini used wpscan and it ran the command with an api key. God knows which one it is

[obtuse fern]

would be funny though

[muted olive]

send me the key and I'll tell you

[sturdy thistle]

I never ran wpscan before it even installed wpscan

[obtuse fern]

gemini helped me better understand binomial distribution

[zealous charm]

Wait until you ask it for help with mobile pentesting and watch it spin up an enulator, root it, install burp cert, proxy traffic, then run all adb commands to copy APKs, and decompile

[sturdy thistle]

Oh really?

[zealous charm]

I use claude, but I suppose gemini would be able to do the same

[obtuse fern]

have you asked it to decompile deez-nuts?

[zealous charm]

apk deez-nuts not found

[sturdy thistle]

I’ll try it

[zealous charm]

Yeah its pretty good, then I had it write a burp extension to run those commands and auto-launch a rooted and proxied mobile emulator from within burp

Wait what... Claude Sonnet 4.5 supports a 1M token context window when using the context-1m-2025-08-07 beta header.

Totally missed that feature drop

[gray wraith]

Didnt it flip out bc "this is illegal i cant do it"?

[eternal mango]

Doesn't care if it's through API

Claude especially doesn't care 🤣

[gray wraith]

Good to know

[eternal mango]

You can still jailbreak GPT with very simple phrases too somehow

No idea how they haven't resolved those silly escapes yet

[heady sage]

OpenAI triage is a joke

[static pasture]

@eternal mango I am guessing you have both claude and chatgpt subs. Is it worth having both or pick one over the other?

[gray wraith]

Because they are too busy wprking on AGI

And scamming investors

[west venture]

Don't you think Gemini 3 pro is better than Claude while being also free

[gray wraith]

And destroying the environment

[eternal mango]

I have GPT, but rarely use it

[gray wraith]

And making our life wors

[eternal mango]

Mostly I use Anthropic, unless I need to work with a very large dataset

Then I use Gemini

..however now I know Anthropic have that 1m context feature, will need to try that

[static pasture]

@queen sentinel thanks you for his salary 😂

[eternal mango]

LOL 😄

Gonna run a large dataset test against Anthropic and compare to Gemini 3 later using that 1m token feature, see how it stacks up

No, I havent really run into this issue. In fact I sometime have to stop it from re-exploiting real websites once I've already found a bug with it

Oh my god.. what am I thinking... I should totally change it to batman!

[eternal mango]

Of course!

[warped plank]

I think the fix went live a while ago, did nobody mention here?

Had to go out while it was being tested

the only thing i had to was select a less crowded vpn server

[austere sigil]

I can get access to GPU clusters at Oracle easily enough

[static pasture]

VIP servers should start to be spun down if not mistaken. You should be using the VIP+ servers as existing VIP members were migrated. Also as of today, every user has dedicated spawns per #📣-announcements message

[static pasture]

Those nice beafy H200s

[heady sage]

sounds like the intergration isnt going well

I would critize HTB but THIS time it isnt yalls fault

[hearty frigate]

Hmm, I'm unable to see any VIP+ servers. Its fine, I'll just try an hour or two later, or raise a ticket afterwards.

Btw, I have a question for y'all.
I have a pen test coming up soon and its gonna be like the first one Ill be doing. Until now Ive only solved Labs and stuff, but I am anxious as to what happens If I do not find any issues during my PenTest.

[eternal mango]

If you're VIP, you can use Free

If you still have VIP sub, you will get the benefits on Free

That's how I understand how it was described anyway

[tepid solstice]

got the cpts finallyyy yesss

[lofty warren]

congrats

[tepid solstice]

how to have sword cpts emoji tho

[eternal mango]

VIP users on HTB Labs
As part of this update, VIP Machine Servers will be switched off permanently on January 15. Both Free and VIP users will move to a single access for the dedicated instances, reducing platform fragmentation and ensuring everyone benefits from the same level of stability. 

It is required that from the 15th of January VIP users download new VPN keys from the Connect menu. As stated before, the VIP servers will be shut down, so your current keys will expire. 

For the newly released Machines, VIP users will also utilize Release Arena to access new content.
