[mortal cipher]

Guys, When does the new htb season start?

[next cobalt]

Is there a channel for help etc?

[stable tiger]

kde themes are fire

i got macos kali rn

[wanton dock]

send screenshot

[wanton dock]

depends on what you ned help with. i think the channels for specific help are under the HTB: Platform category

[next cobalt]

Questions in general tbh

About HTB

[stable tiger]

terminal is ghostty

[molten bobcat]

This be the place

Yarr

[next cobalt]

I see some modules are the same with some job paths and skill paths, will I have to repeat them later on or should I?

[molten bobcat]

Nope

One and done

[stable tiger]

i also use the gnome version of this theme on my exploit dev vm @wanton dock

[molten bobcat]

There's just overlap

[wanton dock]

dayum

[stable tiger]

very useful on red team engagements if you have a macbook btw

like kali undercovers original intent

[next cobalt]

So if I complete a job path, will it also count that momdule as learned on the skill paths?

[molten bobcat]

You know it

[next cobalt]

I dont rlly lol, theres so much stuff

[wanton dock]

kali has like a windows mode too right

[molten bobcat]

Yehh it's okay

[wanton dock]

tbh my macbook is just okay imo

[molten bobcat]

This place is for learnin

[stable tiger]

its windows 10

[wanton dock]

oh lol

[wooden dust]

wtf was that KacOS

[stable tiger]

a lot of red teamers use macbooks

[stable tiger]

kali kde theme

[wooden dust]

Ok ARM64 I don’t think it good for pentesting

[wanton dock]

rn im using arch and for my pentesting stuff i just do it all in a docker container and delete it after a while. have the blackarch repository available to me in there

[stable tiger]

qemu

[wanton dock]

it's just more convenient than a vm for me

[wooden dust]

It only virtualization it

Not real one

[wooden dust]

Use VM for penetrating Testing OS

[next cobalt]

I started with Junior Cybersecurity Analyst path

[wooden dust]

Kali kde ran into problem of black screen easily

[stable tiger]

most people use vms in red team engagements

[next cobalt]

Looks like Im gonna be learning windows😭

[stable tiger]

thats only if you have auto lockout on lol

[wanton dock]

why not docker container

[wooden dust]

Too light

Docker is only good to use for running applications

Like web servers

[stable tiger]

kali is also on arm

you can rdp into your home box for windows tools dev

i mean i wouldnt personally use a mac

[wooden dust]

The only thing I like about Mac is their battery life

[stable tiger]

i just know a few people who do on engagements

[wooden dust]

That’s it

[stable tiger]

macos is nice

unix based os that actually has conglomerate backing is nice

[wooden dust]

Windows is a must, it the best as home OS

[stable tiger]

youd learn that anyway

no end user runs linux

real corpo endspoints are gonna be running windows

[wooden dust]

Too much lock

Best is use a PC with good ram and gpu

[stable tiger]

i specifically said on an engagement

[wooden dust]

I had laptop with RTX 4070, 64GB ram, Ryzen 9 845hs

[stable tiger]

how was the battery life 😭

[wooden dust]

4-10hrs

[wooden dust]

You can bring a power bank

[stable tiger]

it's just not feasible to bring that shit around with you when ur trying to look inconspicuous

[wooden dust]

Bring a power bank make it 24hrs

[stable tiger]

id just use a thinkpad with windows

[wooden dust]

Thinkpad is good option but if you have money to buy better just buy an gaming laptop

[wanton dock]

do you think it's fair if i use a docker container for most of my web pentesting and when i need to load kernel modules n shit or do exploit dev i use a vm

[stable tiger]

a gaming laptop is a shit option for work

[wooden dust]

Pentesting you doing it at home or at somewhere there charging slots. You don’t do it on a Field lol

[stable tiger]

,,,,

[wooden dust]

Just use VM

[stable tiger]

please google 'physical penetration testing' and 'red team engagements'

[wanton dock]

alr ill use a vm

[wooden dust]

VM for everything

Keep windows as primary OS

Or macOS as primary

[stable tiger]

just use a vm

[wooden dust]

Don’t bare metal Linux

[stable tiger]

@wanton dock are you new to exploit dev?

[wooden dust]

Forget about docker

[wanton dock]

ye

[stable tiger]

check my github

i put a script up two days ago for auto setup of ubuntu vms

if anything breaks lmk

[wanton dock]

alr

ill send you friend req

[wooden dust]

You still don’t need a laptop with good battery life

Anker solar power station very portable and if one is not enough bring 2

You can fit in your pocket

[stable tiger]

have you ever been on a physical engagement lmao

[wooden dust]

Nope

All I know is if one battery is not enough bring two or more

Bring a 140w usb c cable

And bunch of power banks ahaha

[stable tiger]

idk how to tell u this but ur not tryna find a powerbank when ur sitting in a server room ur not supposed to be in on a physical engagement

[wooden dust]

So no laptop also?

[stable tiger]

?

[wooden dust]

You don’t need to find power bank

I said it fits in your pocket

[zenith pilot]

What do you mean to not bare-metal linux?

• To not use linux as the host whilst using parrotOS as VM?
• Or to never use your hostOS during pentesting activities?

[wooden dust]

Not use Linux as Host. If you like your computer to access more applications

Gaming I need it

Can’t have a laptop that can’t game

[zenith pilot]

ooooh I see, its a different reasoning then

I thought you were talking about security

Like: Don't use linux as host due security concerts and stuff

[molten fog]

what the usb ?! Kali has a undercover mode ? for what ?

oh hi

[terse dirge]

Everyone should daily drive Linux if they're trying to work in tech tbh

[terse dirge]

Steam supports a lot of Linux gaming now with proton

[wooden dust]

That’s good but can’t play ark

[terse dirge]

I made the switch to full Linux not too long ago

[wooden dust]

Can’t play siege

Can’t play valorant

[zenith pilot]

kernel-level anti-cheat sucks haha

[terse dirge]

R6 has Linux support and that game is trash anyways

[zenith pilot]

I switched to linux mint about 4 months ago.
Then cinamon decided to break after a power surge

Now I'm driving mint with an i3

[terse dirge]

Ah nvm it says unsupported for steam deck

[terse dirge]

Mint is horrible to start with

[zenith pilot]

🤔

[terse dirge]

It's something you'd give your grandma tbh

[zenith pilot]

[terse dirge]

Use Manjaro or fedora. If you have Nvidia install windows or Garuda

[zenith pilot]

Come on man, I'm having a good time on it

[rapid badger]

I love that windows is surviving on people's video game addiction and gov contracts

[terse dirge]

It's great in corporate environments because of active directory

You can control nearly your entire infrastructure in a centralized manner

[zenith pilot]

But why do you prefer Manjaro over Mint?
I know it has more recent packages compared to mint.

I had problems with it more than once, but nothing else bothers me to make me jump

[molten bobcat]

Uhhh

Microsoft is surviving on quite a bit more than that dude

[rapid badger]

Ik i am yapping

🙂

[molten bobcat]

Oh okie

[zenith pilot]

Today is a great example.
VirtualBox was freezing randomly, then I had to manually download and install it

[molten bobcat]

I was gonna say, all of active directory?

I'm almost positive that's a gigantafuckinghuge

Part of their income

If being one of the top companies on earth is "surviving" who the fuck is thriving lmao

[fiery copper]

yo Cloud how can I be ur friend

[rose onyx]

There's also nuroburo or some shit like that. It's a fork of fedora by one of the rh kernel devs that was doing glorious egg roll which was patching proton to work better.

[fiery copper]

you seem really chill and I like ur vibe

[terse dirge]

You get more control of your system and more updates/bleeding edge on arch

[molten bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/futurama-zoidberg-truman-harry-s-truman-harry-truman-gif-20747003

[rose onyx]

It has Nvidia support iirc

[vivid flower]

Cinnamon is known for being bloated and kinda buggy you would have been better off choosing MATE

That said mint is comfy i dont like distro elitism you can get a lot out of mint and it wont break on you like arch distros eventually do. And it has a very supportive community

Its not just for grandmas

Like damn

[dusky jacinth]

guys I didn't wake up till one PM today

[rapid badger]

Oh wow there is entire htb cert around AD. I am clueless about it yet. Doing the junior and web pen paths atm

[dusky jacinth]

yuh

[vivid flower]

Comfy is today adventure day?

[dusky jacinth]

No, well maybe

if you count a store trip and a possible haircut as an adventure

[fiery copper]

I finished the junior path, but Im kinda garbage

[vivid flower]

I need a haircut lol

[fiery copper]

I wasnt able to complete it without watching videos

[dusky jacinth]

that doesn't mean your garbage

just that you needed to spend more time with the material

[fiery copper]

so Ill go thru it once more again after I get hired hopefully

[dusky jacinth]

nothing wrong with that as long as you come away with a decent understanding of the material

[vivid flower]

Progress is progress keep learning and moving forward thats the goal

[rapid badger]

Web pen is pretty fun. Junior covers the basics seems like

[dusky jacinth]

you'll learn most on the job

No ones expecting you to be an expert, but to know enough for a junior role to perform their responsibilities

[fiery copper]

well I like Blue Teaming and Junior seems like the best start cuz CDSA is overly complex and I lack the basics

Thank god CJCA was made, it helps newbies like me

[dusky jacinth]

you doing the CWES or the exploitation one

[dusky jacinth]

it's a good starting point

[fiery copper]

anyway I noticed that while CJCA is the easiest htb cert its at least 2.5-3x harder than eJPT

[rapid badger]

Not on pc right now, think its cwes

[dusky jacinth]

gotcha

[vivid flower]

Do CDSA if its overly complicated your response should be to stretch out your brain hole and get it all that extra complexity in there

[dusky jacinth]

^^

I agree

[fiery copper]

will do it once I pass eJPT and CJCA

[dusky jacinth]

why eJPT?

just figure it out as you go homie, don't take unnecessary steps

learn what you need to learn while learning what you want to learn

[fiery copper]

I love blue teaming, but I also want to have the understanding of Red Team

[dusky jacinth]

that's where you have the most fun

[dusky jacinth]

then take CPTS or OSCP

[fiery copper]

nah too difficult

[vivid flower]

I did oscp > cdsa > crto and knowing blue helps you learn red

[fiery copper]

also OSCP is a scam

[dusky jacinth]

have you taken it?

[fiery copper]

nah, but at that price it def gotta be a scam

[dusky jacinth]

lol

[fiery copper]

there are certs that are better and wayy cheaper

[dusky jacinth]

only a few

[quick willow]

@heady sage

thoughts?

@obtuse fern ?

[fiery copper]

I may sound like a numbnut but I think it was made with chatgpt

at least the front-end side of the app

[dusky jacinth]

what are we looking at here brodie

[quick willow]

evidence galllery for findings

[dusky jacinth]

that didn't clarify anything

what is it for

[fiery copper]

@quick willow did u use ChatGPT only for the front-end or the entire app?

[dusky jacinth]

what findings

[quick willow]

reporting application

[heady sage]

That looks great

[dusky jacinth]

just like a personal project?

[quick willow]

any findings youd like?

[flint copper]

Hi guys

What are we working on

[fiery copper]

hi

[dusky jacinth]

likely attacking AD todaqy

[dusky jacinth]

and maybe some total war

[gray wraith]

There is quite few skilled ppl here who have already called oscp cert out for its "low" level, iirc especially in the AD field. For that price its a joke

[quick willow]

reporting generator essentially to fast track pentest reportinh

[dusky jacinth]

I see

[dusky jacinth]

gooootcha

[quick willow]

think sysreptor on crack

[dusky jacinth]

yeah I just didn't know what you meant findings for, but yeah that clears it up a ton

[flint copper]

Nice nice

[dusky jacinth]

I like the UI

[quick willow]

yeahh my b

if you like that,

[dusky jacinth]

very sleek

[quick willow]

for section templates

checkboxes = optional boxes

[dusky jacinth]

okay, nice

[quick willow]

and yes in the methodology you can upload inline screenshots

what about code blocks?

A report generation tool im working on

Fast tracks reporting by a lot

I also included an onlyoffice self hosted docker instance. So no markdown fields

It’s all a “word but not really word” editor 😂

[austere sigil]

[worthy cargo]

cachyos won't last.

gimmicks rarely last.

arch will live longer

even though I don't use it

I use Ubuntu/Debian

Huge support communities

Ecosystem is fantastic

[austere sigil]

and do they actually help?

[worthy cargo]

Oh yeah

Great support and help

Been on Debian since 2000 and on Ubuntu since 2016

Can't complain

There are some elitist assholes in both communities

But most of the people are good and helpful

[austere sigil]

i know

works for me too

[brittle quail]

I wanted the 1tb flash drive

damn it

1 gig read speed

definitely overkill

[warped plank]

Now bro can use his flashdrive as a boot drive

[upbeat tangle]

booting up tails in speed of light

[brittle quail]

I needed a flash drive for a WHILE

Finally got one

I can run any os now

[sturdy thistle]

booting up cachy in light speed

[brittle quail]

Has more storage than my pc 💀

[warped plank]

Use it as a drive for the PC, problem solved

[brittle quail]

No I’m not letting this thing touch my pc until the rat is gone

but idk how ima save the files if I don’t use the drive

might js have to lose some files 💔

[warped plank]

Cloud

[brittle quail]

How cus I have stuff I don’t wanna lose

[warped plank]

Well depends on what provider you wanna use, GoogleDrive, OneDrive, DropBox

But usually it's just upload or set as remote drive then transfer the files

[brittle quail]

don’t rlly matter

Alr

I’m gonna wipe my pc tonight

and maybe my laptop

[warped plank]

Gonna re-install linux?

[brittle quail]

I’m gonna dual boot, probably arch Linux ppl kept telling me it’s the best

[terse dirge]

Don't dual boot

It's not worth it

[brittle quail]

Why

[warped plank]

That's probably cos they the loudest demographic of linux users

But if you just starting I recommend mint

[brittle quail]

Mint?

I’m pretty familiar with Kali now I been using it for a month

still a skid tho

[warped plank]

Istg bro boutta recommend void

[terse dirge]

Windows doesn't like it when you dual boot and your disk will fill up fast

[terse dirge]

Nuh uh. It's cool on a laptop but not a PC

[austere sigil]

os just a boot loader for discord

[brittle quail]

Oh okay

[terse dirge]

Manjaro is great to use on PC

[brittle quail]

Whats void

[terse dirge]

If you have Nvidia then just use windows

It's not worth using Linux with Nvidia because of the lack of support

[austere sigil]

works on my machine

[brittle quail]

I don’t want windows

[terse dirge]

Use Manjaro

[brittle quail]

I don’t really like using VMs

[terse dirge]

If you really want Linux with Nvidia then try Garuda

[sturdy thistle]

[brittle quail]

I need to familiarize myself with all this stuff

[brittle quail]

why does the gpu matter

[austere sigil]

it doesn't

[brittle quail]

not gpu

ykwim

[ornate wren]

mint is fine and It Just Works

[brittle quail]

what is mint

[austere sigil]

distro

[ornate wren]

it's a distro based on ubuntu

[terse dirge]

If you wanna game it does matter

[austere sigil]

I use nvidia and everything works

hm

hmmmmmmmmmm

[austere sigil]

"Thanks for all the drivers"

[brittle quail]

I do like games

I only play rocket league

[terse dirge]

Because if you want to run something that needs more recent drivers you're screwed if you don't use something that's up to date I believe

[brittle quail]

I could give it up tho

[austere sigil]

nah, I'm on recent hardware and everything works

[terse dirge]

In my experience updating drivers has fixed a lot of performance problems with the games I play

[worthy cargo]

I'm on Linux where I game using proton. Drivers dont' mean much there 😄

[terse dirge]

Then you probably can get away with drivers that are 5 years old tbh

[worthy cargo]

Bird is the word!

[late sleet]

Nvidia isn’t horrible on wayland when it comes to gaming now, however it’s a fucking mess for mostly anything else

[worthy cargo]

literally the second i post myself with a double chin ON PURPOSE i get unfollowed

thats some mean shit

the people who designed the apps are sick puppies and created patterns that give you an endorphin rush when number goes up and depression when number goes down. all to keep you engaged

If ur insecure abour ur body fat then just lose weight

[wanton dock]

agree

[wanton dock]

i am bro

[rich radish]

But this also

[wanton dock]

i am trying

im in the process

[rich radish]

Just dont eat carbohydrates

[wanton dock]

no i tried that and hated it

[rich radish]

Keto / carnivore diet

[wanton dock]

im never doing that again

[rich radish]

Easiest weight loss of my life

I didnt even exercise

[ornate wren]

i had to manage social media once for my work and i got super addicted into getting numbers for my client, was obsessed with views, RTs, etc. and once the job was over i reflected on how insane that was and never touched it again

they're so good at manipulating us

[wanton dock]

what sucks is a lot of people's minds are engrained in social media, like, even having respect for another person depends on how they conduct themselves online, like that kind of clout really does impress people

it's fucked

[rich radish]

I dont use insta or any social media apart from reddit and discord

[wanton dock]

i should have kept social media in high school tbh life would have went so much better for me

id actually have the motivation to conform faster than i already have

[rich radish]

How tf is social media gonna help u

[wanton dock]

cuz it would have informed me of other people's expectations of me

and i would have connections

[alpine pumice]

he says on a social media app

[rich radish]

If u arent meeting ppl in person then social media wont help u

Just join a club or society

[wanton dock]

no bro people in high school coordinated loads of shit off of social media, they're all in their snapchat communities that i have no access to

[rich radish]

Ppl who are online all the time are weird anyway

[wanton dock]

all the clubs were like school-related shit barely even social in a personal context

i was in clubs n shit

[rich radish]

They sound nice but honestly its not even that fun

[wanton dock]

all people did clubs for was for college resume anyways

im sure it would have been fun to hang out with ppl my age bro

i missed out on a lot of shit

[rich radish]

What age r u

[wanton dock]

20

[rich radish]

Meh, its unecessary

[wanton dock]

tbf i was kind of nerdy

[rich radish]

I barely remember my college days

I kinda view it as such a waste of time

Hanging out with ppl i dont care about

Quality > quantity

[wanton dock]

college is so much different man everyones working on their class shit and theres no time where you're forced to interact with your peers to the extent of which you did in high school

[lofty warren]

[rich radish]

I hung out in college more than i did in school

[wanton dock]

i should have gone to uni bro

[rich radish]

Bruh who cares

Become a millionaire

Do something

[wanton dock]

im tryna do something with my life trust

im just elaborating upon the initial point i made

we started with social media

[rich radish]

Join like a sport or somethin

Will socialize u good

[wanton dock]

my community college doesnt have shit

i lowkey brainwashed my ass in high school, i ONLY studied

but yeah

things could have been different with social media was my initial point

[rich radish]

No sports?

[wanton dock]

not that i know of except baseball and softball

and its not like i can just join teams

i would hang out with IT students if there were an accessible way to

but there's no club or anything

it would be so easy to hang out with people who are basically bums trust me but i don't want to do that

makes me uncomfortable

[rich radish]

Yeah i guess ur screwed lol

[wanton dock]

i know bro and ive accepted that

spending my time online n shi

[prime heron]

https://tenor.com/view/druski-gif-16183531549233652780

[rich radish]

Yeah if u cant find a sport or hobby

Ur cooked bro

Rip

[wanton dock]

shits wack

[rich radish]

Just dont end up talking to someone whos gonna groom u into taking HRT

On discord

[wanton dock]

LOL

[rich radish]

I have personally ghosted most of my friends

Because you cant really be yourself around 99% of ppl anyway

So no point

[wanton dock]

yea i kind of did the same thing to people who used to know me in school because i just wasn't interested in continuing to talk to them

there are some genuinely off-putting people

for me at least

[rich radish]

I hate snakey ppl

Or gossipy ones

[wanton dock]

no i'm talking about like young adults with the mind of a 12-year-old on some elementary type shit that kind of vibe

[rich radish]

Cus if they talk shit about other ppl their probs talking shit about u

[wanton dock]

there was this one dude who wore a clown gaiter mask all the time like people like that

or this one dude OBSESSED with math

to the point of having no culture

robotics was fucking weird

icl

the second i said something questionable they assume im like some extremist person too, anything that conflicts with their beliefs

so it's fair for me to judge them just like they assumed things about me

[sage epoch]

every part of our life from birth is being programmed to keep us in the cage

[fiery copper]

Sheesh bro went photo of fatself to anime picture to the grinch

[wanton dock]

LOL

[fiery copper]

Whats next, have a teemo photo?

[vivid flower]

Its a jarring realization when you understand that boomers were the first ipad kids and that there were only 5 television channels and they were all lies

[wanton dock]

and whats yours

[fiery copper]

Some guy on instagram that sometimes posts "sexual" stuff on instagram

His name is nubcat

[wanton dock]

ok lets not go there

[vivid flower]

Honestly the adults that are shambling around right now make life unlivable

[fiery copper]

Well its on instagram

So how bad can it be

[wanton dock]

pretty bad bro

[sage epoch]

i saw something a couple weeks ago stating the average gen z household works twice what the average boomer household did in the 50s and 60s, and if salaries matched inflation. gen z would have a ton of millionares

[sage epoch]

cant hear the audio but i do know that video

[vivid flower]

In the eighties , you could buy a house for twenty thousand dollars

[sage epoch]

for the first time in US history though, the cost of living to live like the median household in the US is higher than the median household income

[vivid flower]

Nowadays , you need to take out a loan just to order a pizza

[sage epoch]

the median would be a couple with 2 kids, 1 car, 1 house, all expenses

[sage epoch]

the dominos financed emergency pizza LMAO

[muted olive]

Depends on the person

or household*

[vivid flower]

Just so you understand where things are going , hedge funds like blackrock are buying of a lot of the home properties and not selling

They have an agreement with the u s mint to have infinite money to do this

[sage epoch]

@muted olive

[vivid flower]

Then one day they realized their money was worthless

That's why hedgies are moving into real estate

[sage epoch]

I get what ur saying, zackary loft has a great video on it. He's been in real estate and economics for 10 years now

and makes great content on the subjct

[sage epoch]

surprisingly, this data is misrepresented a lot

roughly half of th ehousing market is owned by investors in general. but that also includes jerrry who owns 1 air bnb

[vivid flower]

It's really grim and I hate it

[sage epoch]

institutional investors like blackrock own les than 5% surprisingly

[vivid flower]

I refuse to be one of these people that just acclimates and lives in a golden cage to appease the masters

[sage epoch]

yeah

pretty much

ive decided to focus more on cryptography and better opsec

[vivid flower]

I'm not actually convinced that caring about opsec really matters anymore

[sage epoch]

i think its changing

[vivid flower]

I mean things are just so comical now

[sage epoch]

i think the idea of wanting to be some never seen ghost is unrealistic these days

like in the movies

[vivid flower]

I have mostly stopped caring about appeasing people

[sage epoch]

i think the idea of learning how to hide in plain sight and blend in with your personal devices being locked down for the most part is enough to make it hard to be tracked

trying to never be seen alone makes you a point of interest to surveillance systems

[vivid flower]

Everybody just has a different way of coping and i just want to convince people they are better off doing things with friends than by being devoured by a world that wants them dead

[sage epoch]

i didnt realize just how effective social engineering is as well until i saw videos of people using it to bypass securityt check points

[sage epoch]

this as well

i had a moment of realization a few days ago

their goal is to take your happiness

it doesnt matter what happens, they want to "farm your energy" and take your happiness

[vivid flower]

Its easy for people who come from cultures that already encourage that but westerners are uniquely sabotaged in that regard

[sage epoch]

make you hopeless and complacent

just dont let them strip you of your happiness

[muted olive]

Oh, I was assuming without the house lol

[sage epoch]

we live in a society where we assume these thigns now lmao

this isnt a snarky remark, but i bet 40 years ago we wouldnt imagine it without the house

average home buyer is 37 i think

like 15 years ago it was low 20s if i remember correctly

[muted olive]

I mean if you get a house, the COL is a lot easier to calculate, and that may sound dumb but its doable

[muted olive]

something like that yeah

[sage epoch]

wish i made 70 bucks an hour like inflation says i should lol

getting a career job makes you think "man i really thought my time was worth 10 bucks an hour"

@terse dirge what is the status of your K8s set up?

[vivid flower]

Ok sweaty

[warped plank]

@rich radish @vivid flower please leave politics out of the server

[rich radish]

Yeah @vivid flower know your place

[warped plank]

please stop ragebaiting

[terse dirge]

It's up

Got portainer and rook going

Right now I'm setting up a domain controller for logging into portainer

[warped plank]

what you got set up on it?

noice

[sage epoch]

vmware or virtmanager

[warped plank]

clearly the answer is docker

[sage epoch]

im a novice at system engineer stuff

i have vmware currently and an esxi server imma install a few more OSs on once i get it plugged in agin

[warped plank]

docker is barely system engineering

[sage epoch]

the goal is to try several linux distros

like popos

[warped plank]

you can just download it, grab a kali image (preferably one with VNC) and run it

[sage epoch]

hmm

my ultimage goal is to learn about linux more to replace this goober windows 11

tired of them trying to force their crappy ai on me at every turn

well thats not THE ultimate goal

thats the goal of setting up this server again

[warped plank]

https://hub.docker.com/r/kasmweb/kali-rolling-desktop

looks lik this image has a web based gui

[sage epoch]

why do you prefer i user docker over setting up a full linux os

if thios info right, docker is for containers right?

[warped plank]

cos I'm already running a linux kernel it seems stupid to run another one just to run kali

[sage epoch]

so you recommend I run docker on a linux os on my server to simplify it?

[warped plank]

if your main os is linux ye

[sage epoch]

i think i have 1 windows vm on the server currently

and my pc uses windows 11

[warped plank]

you can also set it up on windows through wsl

[sage epoch]

yeah im reading that now

didnt know that existed on windows

do the docker linux containers work nearly identical to if it was a full os?

[warped plank]

yeah

[sage epoch]

based

[warped plank]

aside from having a web vnc for the one I found it's pretty similar

[sage epoch]

i'll definitely look into that, especially if its simpler

[warped plank]

only possible issue I see is keyboard shortcuts

[sage epoch]

im a noob to this subject, i do firewall stuff currently for my job

mostly firewall withj some networking

[sage epoch]

which im sure i could survive without lol

i really only use copy and past, and ctrl+shift+win+alt+L on the rare occurence i want to get to linkedin withjout typing it in lmao

[warped plank]

looks like it supports clipboards so you should be good on copy pasting

[sage epoch]

based

i'll look into it

[warped plank]

chromium based browsers only it seems

[ornate ibex]

Good, make a blog maybe of this journey

[obtuse fern]

image coompression

[terse dirge]

Idk..

Btw the cluster has 1.4 terabytes of ram in total

[ornate ibex]

WUT

What kind of hardware

[obtuse fern]

i didn't know you had a spare $1m for that much RAM

[terse dirge]

It's only on servers that are 12 years old and DDR 2 ram nothing fancy

[terse dirge]

We had it before ramflation

I believe portainer also says it has 107 cores in total

[ornate ibex]

only if you had latest of those specs , a mini DC

[obtuse fern]

please sir, spare some cores

[sage epoch]

does it act like at least 64gb\ ddr5

[vivid flower]

Do you guys think ram will never come down and corpos will force SaaS on everyone

[sage epoch]

with enough quantity im sure it doesnt matter how slow each unit is

[vivid flower]

I could see it happening with the trade war and china not wanting to share their rare earth metals

I think a lot of companies are going to start pushing that and blame the situation regardless of whether there's actually a shortage or not

[ornate ibex]

First imposes tariffs and then demands rare earth metals, why would they give 😛

[vivid flower]

I missed my chance to get a good deal on a steam deck

[terse dirge]

https://tenor.com/view/haha-gumichan-bird-no-laughing-gif-5128531988218293677

[sage epoch]

its slower?

[terse dirge]

yes

[sage epoch]

oh lord

with enough quantity im sure you can do it

[terse dirge]

we're also locked at 1 Gig a second so rook isn't able to get its full potential

our networking is shiiiit

[sage epoch]

make a parody of the tootsie roll ads

"how many sticks of ddr2 does it take to run doom eternal"

1, 2, 3 million

[obtuse fern]

DDR2 is roughly .0125x DDR5 from what i recall

[sage epoch]

if i was in IT when ddr2 was new and heard about ddr5, i'd probably think its worth 700 for 16gb too

actually probably not

probably more lmao

[obtuse fern]

when DDR2 was new, DDR5 wasn't even a pipe dream

[sage epoch]

i mean they had storage drives that couldnt even store modern windows that cost as much as my pc

[obtuse fern]

I member when 256KB RAM was the hottest thing

[mystic harbor]

DDR999999

RDR

[sage epoch]

1990s senior IT techs probably couldnt even comprehend the idea of a quantum computer chip

[sharp sierra]

my first family pc had 4 gigs of ram. I feel so young.

[sage epoch]

i mean they thought kilobytes was legendary

[obtuse fern]

ternary computers were a novel idea

[sage epoch]

my first computer I ever owned had 8

was a retired work laptop my dad got after wiping it and gave it to me for christmas

with minecraft

[sharp sierra]

Even my first mobile phone had 2 gb ram.

[sharp sierra]

yay

[obtuse fern]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_computer

[sage epoch]

Although I can flex that my dad was one of the first people to have a watercooled PC

back then, quake wasnt just a game, it was a lifestyle

[sharp sierra]

my dad had corporate laptop with 16 gb ram and that was a supercomputer for me

[sage epoch]

and topm players did some crazy shit to get a 4 fps gain

he had 2 power supplies at one point and then custom made a water cooling setup somehow eventually

before you could even buy stuff for it for personal computers

[sharp sierra]

what did he do with that beast?

[sage epoch]

toy with people on quake

he was a beta tester for the game as well

[sharp sierra]

so cool

[sage epoch]

he and his friends did all that just to get a slight advantage that would allow him to run around people like the flash

not literally

but it was enough to make him a top player

[vivid flower]

Damn

[sage epoch]

top quake players werent just gamers, they were mega nerds who contributed to modern PC tech lol

[obtuse fern]

yep

[sage epoch]

i mean the first online multiplayer game was bound to do that

i think he still has his original copy of quake in a box somewhere

[obtuse fern]

quaker oats

[sage epoch]

I bought a cereal with no enriched flour in it, it tastes like im chewing bitter taffy

why cant they make good cereals without bleached flour

[obtuse fern]

gotta add that corn syrup 🇺🇸

[vivid flower]

Cereal is basically human kibble

Except it doesnt even have protein in it

Eating actual kibble is more dignified

guys... is there no way to control/start/stop/configure the built-in bloodhound CE into kali? I can enter "bloodhound" and then it starts up, but how do I change port 8080 which is colliding with burp suite. and how the hell do I stop bloodhound after I finished using it? isn't there another way as going to terminal and "sudo kill bloodhound" or "sudo kill bhapi" or whatever?

[proud moth]

change the burpsuite port to something else

like 9999

[terse dirge]

Bloodhound moment

Bloodhound sucks ass

Just make your own

[pulsar basin]

alternatives?

[terse dirge]

Make your own

[proud moth]

lmao wtf

make your own as if you can replicate even 10% of what bloodhound does

nice strategy

To the post?

It was a good read

[terse dirge]

Prob never tbh. I made it over a year ago lol

My next post will probably be about some of the threat hunting I've done, kubernetes, my edr and SIEM, or security engineer/architecting I've done

I try not to post too much in my blog because I tend to schizopost a bit

My edr and SIEM would be a crazy post tbh. Idk about the threat hunting I've done since it involves real malware lol. I'd rather not have a liability for someone not having the proper testing environment lol

Does rhis server teach it

[sturdy thistle]

What am I reading here

[still mica]

Did u told anyone about your self anywhere

[warped plank]

@delicate idol that is one of the most illegal things you can ask, please stop asking about hacking into x or y. The only type of legal hacking is the type that's authorized by the companies that own the infrastructure or lease the infrastructure in the case of cloud systems

[delicate idol]

uh okay but I wanna learn it on my own risk

[sturdy thistle]

No

[warped plank]

Just don't bring it into this server mate

[delicate idol]

also is there any website or app to communicate with other people the know how to hack

[sturdy thistle]

Bro stop

[delicate idol]

like do u know any?

[delicate idol]

???

send me if u know on dms

[sturdy thistle]

Ofc not

[warped plank]

We ain't going to advertise other communities other than our own. Follow the rules or get banned.

[sturdy thistle]

LOL

[unborn fable]

mo

no*

it says it had 3 old usernames

is there any way to find out?

[delicate idol]

it’s just a question lol

[sturdy thistle]

If someone threatens you, go to police

[sturdy thistle]

And he just answered

[delicate idol]

bruh I’m asking him why ru answering for him

[still mica]

Idk maybe someone know how to do that !!

[unborn fable]

i don’t want it to reach police level tho cuz then family and ppl are going to get involved

[delicate idol]

Reasonable

[sturdy thistle]

Better this than here

[warped plank]

@unborn fable you can't get help here, contact law enforcement

[sturdy thistle]

Just leave the server

[delicate idol]

lol why ru so pissed ur like 30

[sturdy thistle]

If you want to stay, read the rules

And follow them

[warped plank]

I know it's just a question that's why I'm letting you know rather than just banning you outright...
