Id say most cases are solved when u accept that life sucks

Bullshit

I've never even seen a woman!

[vivid flower]

Life is a balance you know. About what you think is true, and what you engage with. People, the self is not static. But if you believe it is and that you need to medicate it , then you get locked in one mode for a long time.

[eternal mango]

Maybe that works for you, but I'd be dead if I didn't have the help I got years ago.

[signal mica]

four noble truths confirmed?

[rich radish]

I mean for medication side

[eternal mango]

Yes, meds too

[rich radish]

I dont think antidepressants do anything really

[vivid flower]

That's kind of what antidepressants and even what a lot of jobs do to a person

[eternal mango]

They literally saved my life.

[molten bobcat]

Mental illness is something that needs to be handled with care and precision. It's why a lot of my wonderful friends are still here

[jaunty pulsar]

yep

[rich radish]

Maybe for some, but like to me it seems therese a psychic issue

Not a chemical one

[eternal mango]

Good for you, glad that works for you.

[jaunty pulsar]

that's exactly the same case for me

[eternal mango]

We're all different 🙂

[molten bobcat]

Don't get why it's such a controversial opinion to "ask someone for help" that's pretty much how all of society works brah

[eternal mango]

[eternal mango]

That's what annoyed me

[vivid flower]

You can put your issues beyond reproach by saying something dramatic like that but its just the lifestyle youre willing to lead that i'm not

[proud moth]

marcie do you have a gf?

[signal mica]

[obtuse fern]

[vivid flower]

I need to be able to fight for my life at a moments notice

[proud moth]

That will not come if I am medicated

[vivid flower]

I will miss my final fight if I do that

[proud moth]

[eternal mango]

Anyway, different things work for different people. That's all I'm saying

[lapis apex]

Im behind you, you are speaking truth man

[rich radish]

Like im all for talking about it

And fixing the root issue

I just personally am against pills

[molten bobcat]

Living your life preparing for your "final fight" is dumb

[proud moth]

especially made of Seed Oil

[rich radish]

Especially seed oil

[obtuse fern]

and sometimes the 'root issue' is a chemical imbalance

[vivid flower]

My girlfriend was abused and I promised I would protect her. I'm not going to be able to do that if im slackin

Folks with ADHD have dopamine management issues literally in their brain

[jaunty pulsar]

[proud moth]

i never got diagnosed for anything, but my brain is completely messed up

[molten bobcat]

Be advised that neuroscience is very much.. still progressing

We don't have all the answers

We as in humans

This discord has even less answers

[eternal mango]

That's fine, but recommending psychedelics over appropriately diagnosed and targeted medication is dangerons 😅

[signal mica]

[molten bobcat]

Ah right

[rich radish]

Bro i would never reccomend psychedelics LOL

[proud moth]

i have absolutely huge mood swings, i am bipolar, have anger issues, autistic to the extreme

[eternal mango]

Ok maybe you didn't recommend directly

[zealous charm]

Get addicted to hacking, ???, profit?

[signal mica]

the quesitons* of the infinite cosmos wont answer themselves

[rich radish]

Psychedelics are even worse

[eternal mango]

You just mentioned weed, that's all

[lapis apex]

No just grow up you are a teen

[rich radish]

Yeah i agree weed is bad

[jaunty pulsar]

ehh I've been through that phase

I'm just saying, I see a lot of videos that get posted of people being attacked by thugs at stores and things and weak men think that it's not going to happen to them. And they just fold. Or like seeiing guys harass girls and their bf just stands there or acts like its not his problem

[eternal mango]

Yeah for sure

I don't know what I would do

When I've been attacked before, I stood there and took it mostly

[signal mica]

discombobulate

[eternal mango]

Then they walked off confused lol

[molten bobcat]

But he's suggesting your antidepressants would hinder you there

Lmao

[vivid flower]

Had someone break into the backyard a few weeks ago

[jaunty pulsar]

[molten bobcat]

[eternal mango]

I don't like hitting people.

[dusky jacinth]

Chaos incarnate (te1m)

[vivid flower]

I'm not actually the embodiment of evil , I would say ,I am chaotic good Or close to chaotic neutral

[rustic carbon]

it might be the best years for everyone but for me 2014-2020 is the worst years ive ever lived

[lapis apex]

I remember back in 2019 when it was getting hard for cybersec juniors to get a job, u people were saying go get an IT support job just as experience, and now I work in a big corp and see the IT support guys do the most mundane bullshit tasks…

[dusky jacinth]

Tyc you’re def chaotic good

[lapis apex]

Btw how is the market now? Surely worse but how bad did it get?

[dusky jacinth]

IT support still sucks

As for cyber? I can’t speak to it

I presume it’s pretty difficult without any prior networking

But still not quite luck of the draw

Pretty close tho

[lapis apex]

I mean cybersec market… i said fck cyber sec after seeing multiple big companies opt for some fortinet or chrckpoint devices and consider that appropriate security. I was like fuck no there will be no jobs for me in the future because companies just want to pass regulation and dont care about security until they get breached

[dusky jacinth]

Getting a job though in IT isn’t too difficult where I am

There’s tons of openings

[dusky jacinth]

Well what do you wanna do?

[lapis apex]

Well it is hard if you sit all day watching anime

[dusky jacinth]

[lapis apex]

Nobody wants a bum

[molten bobcat]

No i dont do cybersec, fck that, cesspool, would not touch the field as it is even with a stick

Underpaid, overworked, underappreciated

Sure man, but one day you wake up, u are 40 something, and you understand your eyes are a bit fcked up from all that screen staring

tbh idk whats the point of it support being exist as a job

[rustic carbon]

everyone wanna play as a striker not a goalkeeper

thats why

[molten bobcat]

I am indeed a blue teamer

[lapis apex]

Thats why you are depressed

[jaunty pulsar]

absolutely nailed on

Blue team is a hard job man

But if you are satisfied

Good 🙂

[molten bobcat]

I enjoy my work a ton ye

Not so much staring at Linux process history like I am now though

[rustic carbon]

strikers get more attention but gks are the backbone of the whole team

no gk no success

[gray wraith]

not true, you can always score more goals

[lapis apex]

Blueteam can be done by automated tools, whats the point of hiring people anyway

[dusky jacinth]

LOL

[jaunty pulsar]

and all the blame goes to them if everything goes to shit

[dusky jacinth]

that just ain’t true

[jaunty pulsar]

that's actually a good analogy

[molten bobcat]

Lol

[dusky jacinth]

A robot can’t do real IR

[molten bobcat]

I've manually halted a c2 beacon myself

[jaunty pulsar]

I might use this analogy in future discussions lol

[lapis apex]

It can bro

[molten bobcat]

Because it slipped by the automated detections

[rustic carbon]

thats why they get more attention lol, but let them sit in a counter attack situation and they'll be ahh

[lapis apex]

AI is here to fck all the blue teamers up

[lapis apex]

If it came down to that, that means security is already fcked up, how did the beacon even get there?

[dusky jacinth]

AI is about as good as my left testicle

[rustic carbon]

ig my cheap ahh turkish coffee got me up

[jaunty pulsar]

lol

I myself like turkish coffee lol

[lapis apex]

It might not be as good as a person, but it is good enough for a company looking for a reason to remove the IT people that sit all day for no apparent reason. No 50yo ceo knows what blue team is.

[jaunty pulsar]

depends on the context where AI is used but I mostly agree

[rustic carbon]

mahmoud coffee are cheap and sometimes ahh but holy they get u more caffiene than 9 redbulls could ever do

I was experimenting with the 1m context size feature a load

Aright, if you upload it I am going to use it for sure

[eternal mango]

I've cut it down to section 1 and 8 in man pages

[supple plume]

I use man a lot

[eternal mango]

Took it down from 9k to 2.5k to process

Might do an on-demand thing another day to capture any people search for that it hasn't got or something

[supple plume]

That's what I thought earlier

But it could be a bit overkill maybe

[eternal mango]

Well yeah

but I'm too far down the road now

Of course it's not true, it just made something up

KILL(1)                                                                                User Commands                                                                                KILL(1)

NAME
       kill - send a fabulous signal to a process (aka your ultimate digital breakup notification! 💋✨)

SYNOPSIS
       kill [options] <pid> [...]

DESCRIPTION
       Ready to give a process its pink slip? 💅 The default signal for kill is TERM - think of it as the polite "we need to talk" message! Use -l or -L to see all the adorable signal options at your disposal (because knowing your powers is SO empowering! 👑). Particularly fabulous signals include HUP, INT, KILL, STOP, CONT, and 0 - each one a different shade of "it's not you, it's me!" ✨ You can specify your chosen signal in three glamorous ways: -9, -SIGKILL or -KILL, like picking from a divine wardrobe of termination options! 🎀 Want to break up with a whole GROUP of processes? Use negative PID values to target entire process groups (check the PGID column in ps output to find your squad, darling! 💖). Oh, and here's a special trick - PID -1 is like the ultimate power move: it sends your signal to literally every process EXCEPT the kill command itself and init (because even queens know when to spare the royalty! 👸).

This is so dumb

[manic anvil]

replace the flipper zero with a modified version

[eternal mango]

https://kiisu.io/kiisu-v4b/

Credit card Flipper 😄

(compatible with Flipper firmware, too)

£68 vs £189 too lol

[manic anvil]

a credit card flipper zero would be funny to use

[eternal mango]

Mine hasn't arrived yet.. but gonna have at LEAST 5 minutes of fun playing with it before it goes into the drawer of doom

[zealous charm]

this has been true of the flipper and wifi pineapple pager

[eternal mango]

I've not opened my pagers yet

[manic anvil]

wasnt there a rumor about flipper one

[eternal mango]

The mesh mods arrived the other day though

so I do want to play with those

[balmy basalt]

I think there was but nothing official.

[manic anvil]

imagine it just flipper zero but with a black chroma case

[balmy basalt]

I mean you could get a black case now if you wanted, I imagine.

[manic anvil]

yeah i like how people even developed more versions of it

Does this run magspoof?

But it's got gpio pins, so if there's a module for the flipper, it'd work on that

..which there is, amazing

thx dude

[eternal mango]

This is just too much fun

Well, there's only one way to go

I need to submit an AI slop bug report to curl

[small pond]

You know what g0b, I think i got something that will blow your mind.... I've never seen a single Rick and Morty episode, atleast i presume that's a reference to that.

[eternal mango]

WHAT

Duuuude I'm jealous

If I could see it for the first time again 😅

You gotta binge that over a weekend some time, it's so good.

[small pond]

I've debated on starting, but at this point I'd lose like 2 weeks if i did.

[eternal mango]

I think there are like 7 seasons.. 20 minutes an episode, 10 per season

Almost exactly 24 hours of footage

[eternal mango]

Do it.

[small pond]

I guess that is doable in a weekend.

[eternal mango]

😄

[small pond]

I thought there were more

[eternal mango]

12 on 12 off

Oh season 8 is out now

That's not on Netflix here yet

Oh damn, yes it is

RIP my evening

[small pond]

Well I'm sorry, I probably ruined your sleep now ha

even more than it was

[eternal mango]

No, I did that to myself already

[vivid flower]

@eternal mango sending you good vibes 🫨

[ornate wren]

I have something to admit. All of those reports have been me. I have been slowly, but surely destroying the minds of the curl maintainers by sending an endless number of 50000 word reports with findings like "the -o flag allows arbitrary file write." It started as a one off joke but now I'm afraid it will be suspicious if I suddenly stop. I bought a pro subscription to Claude solely to generate more of them.

[tame oasis]

heya chat, dont know if this is the correct channel for this... Im new with cybersec. I've only dabbled in amateur web dev. So, im interested in CTF. I've heard that either picoCTF or HTB are the best starts for this. What do you think of either sites?

[west lynx]

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

[eternal mango]

If you're getting started, check out the free modules on academy for foundational knowledge 🙂

CTFs are also great if you have the perseverance and ability to research

You've a load of options for free introductory content into infosec these days to help you find your footing

Whether it's htb or somewhere else, if you have the drive and ability to learn through practice, you'll get on well 🙂

oh g0b eta is jan19 before 5pm

[eternal mango]

Sweet

You managed to get the spec you were hoping for?

[hazy moon]

Hey guys i am a complete beginner here. What is the right approach to learn tools. Do I read documentation before using it or do I read documentation as I use it when I encounter something I dont know.
How do I learn to use tools the right way?

[obtuse fern]

reading documentation is your first step; reading and understanding errors is another thing

[hazy moon]

Should I read all the documentation before using it?

[obtuse fern]

yup :D also got a message on LI from a recruiter that works with an agency that has a month of mentoring stuff to help with Job Placement and Resume building stuff. Gonna look more into the website and details juuuust to make sure it's all on the up & up

but hey more visibility on my resume can never hurt

[obtuse fern]

all the documentation? no

[eternal mango]

Sweeet

Fingers crossed for you

[obtuse fern]

often times i run into things I didn't know about a tool I used because I didn't read all the docs. Navigating the docs to find if the tool does something you want is important. And understanding that with some tools a 'filter' is what's known as a 'negative' filter or 'blacklist' which means that whatever argument you give it, such as a status code, will be filtered out of the responses the tool gives.

or learning with grep that if you know what you DON'T want in the output, you can filter for what you DO want

[obtuse fern]

i.e. if you know you don't want lines that contain 'foo' grep -v 'foo' somefile.txt

[eternal mango]

@terse dirge how did you get on with ARC? Saw you spent a little time on it

[obtuse fern]

checks tracking
arrives monday
Curses for not living on the West Coast

[hazy moon]

I see thank you !

[obtuse fern]

the biggest thing to learn with tools is: learn how to read the error

[eternal mango]

Gives you time to prep the ceremonial fire to see the old lappy to the other side

[obtuse fern]

i'll be pulling the plug, literally (this shit doesn't run on battery )

getting some coffee and playing a bit in the ai red teamer path
Its super interesting and my knowledge gap is insane when you think about the fact that i abuse GPT each day and dont know how it works under the hood

[green kite]

nice one

and yeah, I dont think many people know or pay attention to it

[late wagon]

exacly, also ai is getting bigger and bigger its still kinda niche, its getting backed into places and apps where people dont even think about.
So defently something I think will be huge in the next years too come

[terse dirge]

yo sparkling, we finally got kubernetes up and fully operational with rook

next project is to do something with kubernetes and to set up a DMZ at the cyber range so people can put a shit ton of honeypots to get data from outside threats

[green kite]

nice one !

thats gonna be cool

[terse dirge]

yessir! Just need to get the owner of the cyber range on board because it might require a bit of behind the scenes with the ISP and will require a completely separate physical network

[green kite]

I’m sure you’ll manage with them 👌 I have full confidence in your abilities

[terse dirge]

hahaha thanks. I'm trying to see if I can get more higher up people on board because it'd be such an insane research project to do especially since it can get the community involved at the cyber range

Hi I have scientific reason to believe I was given the wrong mental health diagnosis and being given the wrong meds, which helped but are not the best option given what my condition actually is

But I’m seeing a doctor later this month

[meager kernel]

good, had my first day of job today

was fun

[green kite]

ahh

[gaunt gale]

And he’ll hopefully be able to change my meds to the right thing if that’s necessary

How is everyone here?

Hi @green kite

Sup with you?

[green kite]

wokring

not much else

you?

[gaunt gale]

Terrible. But I found out I may have the wrong mental health diagnosis and I’m gonna tell the doctor the scientific reason why.

I meet him later this month

[green kite]

I am sorry to hear that

I do hope you get the help you need/want

[gaunt gale]

If I’m right and new treatment works then that explains my inability to learn skills quickly

So I’m kind of optimistic

Good news is based on scientific reasons and evidence I have I may know what the actual diagnosis is

Which is good

[stable tiger]

Ts

[green kite]

Let's hope they can help you 🙂

[gaunt gale]

I think they can

In fact I have a hunch my psychiatrist will put me on new meds BUT I think the meds for what my actual condition is have a more tolerable side effect profile

[green kite]

other than that, what have you been up to?

[gaunt gale]

Well, working on getting a help desk job and failing

Even tho I have A+

Hbu?

I saw Greenland 2 tonight

Hey! I’m studying Data & AI and want to get into ethical hacking/cybersecurity. What’s the best and fastest learning path?

[meager kernel]

check

i wanna do it

if you havent done it, ill do it with you

[karmic elk]

It also happened with me. I use singapore vpn , but when i switched to US vpn it worked, and machine spawned. Maybe only Singapore vpns got some issue

There are some scattered issues with spawning again this morning, but the team are aware, and are investigating.

Gonna start with an HTB Academy path and see how it goes, but i picked AI & Data on school but I’m realizing the data/statistics side isn’t really my thing, so i was wondering if there’s a solid AI + cyber overlap and if certs are worth working towards in my free time once I know I like it?

[terse dirge]

I think you should stick with data science and AI.

[cerulean knoll]

U don't recommend cyber security

[cerulean knoll]

Alright 🫡

[terse dirge]

There's no "real" overlap all that "prompt engineering" is really social engineering.

Unless you're looking at compliance then YES there's lots of overlap with AI and cyber security but that's more compliance/legal I'd say

[terse dirge]

Depends on what you want to specialize in for cyber

[cerulean knoll]

Oh okay

[raven copper]

haha, so basically the boring stuff

[terse dirge]

From what I've been told a lot of cyber is writing reports and emails

[undone fossil]

morning nerds

[undone fossil]

depends on the role but yeah there's inevitably paperwork involved

[raven copper]

Honestly I’m just a bit worried I chose AI & Data instead of cybersecurity, because it just looks way more fun and exciting to me.

[undone fossil]

do what you think you'll enjoy

you'll retain things much better so

[terse dirge]

@undone fossil what are your thoughts on kubernetes?

[raven copper]

The problem is that so much IT stuff looks cool/interesting and thats why i picked Data&AI, but the data/statistics part is kinda boring af

[undone fossil]

Cool but a PITA to learn

[terse dirge]

Fr fr. Did you know you can have bgp on kubernetes

[undone fossil]

ye i think emma does

well, she loves k8 and runs bgp

idk if on k8

HR when they managed to convince a bunch of insecure college twats that getting the ComptiAss+ will actually land them a job:

[terse dirge]

The key to getting a job in cyber is || nepotism ||

[proud moth]

yeah no, i was a broke poor autistic hikikomori when i found mine so that can't be the key

i have zero connections except to elden ring characters

the ultra secret key to getting a job is....drums roll

passing the hacking interview!

who would have thought that you need to do that in order to get a job
