[undone fossil]

skyscanner find me tickets to gary indiana

[lime trout]

Fares for 99% of airlines work on fixed rules

[muted olive]

@lime trout Are there usually student discounts or do they depend on where you're buying the tickets from? 👀

[lime trout]

that have nothing to do with location

[acoustic pelican]

Well I will say that from a objective standpoint, the MAJORITY will alaways reject the minority , because the majority will think that they are objectively right about everything.

[lime trout]

a few airlines have them iirc, not many.

[muted olive]

I mean if its a reel then, I can write a python script to find your house because I've seen that in reels too

[undone fossil]

Not objective soz

[zealous charm]

[jaunty pulsar]

but isn't it only within said country?

[meager kernel]

@acoustic pelican do you feel offended if i call Andrew Tate a little bitch

[acoustic pelican]

Who's Andrew Tate

[graceful pendant]

andrew tate got worked by a guy from love island

[acoustic pelican]

and why are people even mentioning him in this conversation ?

Look I don't get memes and jokes @meager kernel

[undone fossil]

i see no point putting emotions into it tbh. it's just purely non-objective so i cba to discuss

[acoustic pelican]

so if you even dare to make a joke with me

I will get offended and angry

because I hate jokers ,

[muted olive]

I am looking for discounts on domestic flights so that would suit me perfectly tbh

[meager kernel]

Im shitting my pants

Omg save me

[graceful pendant]

holy fucking shit this guy

[jaunty pulsar]

same here lol

[acoustic pelican]

Autism also has this feature where

you don't really understanding the meaning of fun

[graceful pendant]

"feature"

[acoustic pelican]

I have a very specific autism

[jaunty pulsar]

it takes me 8 hours on train to go back to my family lmao

[acoustic pelican]

and my autism gives me the inability of understanding fun

jokes, joy, sarcasm

So I'm always sobber

[graceful pendant]

yeah this guys employable

hire him asap

[jaunty pulsar]

as a hotel receptionist probably

would be perfect

[graceful pendant]

imagine ur like

[acoustic pelican]

The problem of getting a job is that , I am not able to do a job unless someon explains me the rules of what I need to do , in order to actually get the job done @graceful pendant @lime trout

[graceful pendant]

is the room ready?

"i have a very specific brand of autism and females and males bla bla bla"

[lime trout]

If you really want cheap flights:

Consider flying out of a smaller airport nearby instead of from hubs, and look at positioning flights as sometimes booking a cheap ticket to another airport, then flying out from there is cheaper

I.e. JFK -> LHR is $$$$
but take a train to Pitsburgh and PIT -> JFK -> LHR can save you alot of money.

Be flexible with dates,, book ~1 month out domestic, 3 months out int'l - you can sometimes score day-of deals but its very rare and you have to be okay with not travelling.

Understand the fare-rules for the carrier, alot of tickets will have restrictions that you have to stay X days to get Y prices, 7 days is usually the cheapest(this usually is only int'l), sometimes a single one way is more then a roundtrip due to this.

If your in North america, look into airline loyalty/points/credit cards schemes

[acoustic pelican]

the reason why I had to quit 50 jobs in my lifetime , was because I was not able to understand the unrwitten rules of the job

[meager kernel]

Skill issue

[undone fossil]

baller bait

ngl

[acoustic pelican]

I never really understood why people hire me , when they don't give me the rules of the job

[lime trout]

@muted olive ^

[acoustic pelican]

Companies expect you to know the rules

[graceful pendant]

i dont usually get baited and hes getting me so bad

[lime trout]

I mean that does kinda tie into a broader issues, companies in the current day dont like to train staff

as they can generally get someone skilled with exp at the same cost

[acoustic pelican]

Yea

and even in cybersec

they ask you to do 3 jobs in 1

[muted olive]

Interesting

[acoustic pelican]

at least that's the case in Europe

all jobs ask you to do SOC and pen testing

[lime trout]

i mostly use points/loyalty schemes, and book last minute cheap tickets

[acoustic pelican]

while SOC is the easiest job in cybersec compared to hardcoding jobs, or pen testing

or ethical hacker

[jaunty pulsar]

that's sadly the truth but software devs have it way worse

[lime trout]

Ticket pricing on points is its own wild game

[acoustic pelican]

SIEM and logs are the easiest shitt

it's a call center job

[muted olive]

Thing is that I could also travel by train/bus, but those would take a full day or close to it, so I would much much rather pay the price for a plane ticket and get there in a couple of hours lol

[acoustic pelican]

you respond to events

[graceful pendant]

damn and ur unemployed, imagine

[acoustic pelican]

Call center job = Support for other people or departments

[jaunty pulsar]

I have the exact same situation lmao

[acoustic pelican]

worst jobs on the market

[austere sigil]

you sure?

[jaunty pulsar]

my problem is that plane tickets here are like 3x more expensive than a train ride

[muted olive]

which country?

[jaunty pulsar]

morocco

[acoustic pelican]

I believe Companies need more rules

[muted olive]

its funny because trains/buses cost almost nothing here

but take like 22 hours each

[lime trout]

opposite here, a 5 hour flight will be a 3 day train ride at 5x the cost

[acoustic pelican]

They should not be able to by more then 3 companies under 1 parent company

Companies should not be allowed to outsorce cheaper labours

it should be illegal

[lime trout]

google flights is a tool i recommend btw

[acoustic pelican]

in all the world

illegal to buy cheap fuckerr

[lime trout]

really good at comparing dates/prices

[acoustic pelican]

I got my amygdala triggered

[muted olive]

for example:

Train costs around 8 dollars.
Plane costs around 100 dollars, round trip

[lime trout]

Arguably its illegal for them not to.

[meager kernel]

I love how everyone is ignoring this poor guy

[muted olive]

Will look into that ty

[lime trout]

As shareholders demand QoQ growth and profits for every public company

[acoustic pelican]

No no I gotta chill now

I got trigered

[jaunty pulsar]

it's not that big a difference here but yeah it's pretty much how I see it

[acoustic pelican]

Anyway let's go back to cybersec

[graceful pendant]

just drive

[lime trout]

iatamatrix and seats.aero is also good, but more niche/advanced

[acoustic pelican]

Do you guys had any succes ?

at landing jobs

in your countries

[lime trout]

Yes

[acoustic pelican]

you got any formal degrees

or certs ?

[lime trout]

no

well, HS diploma lmao

[jaunty pulsar]

can't really confirm or deny but for most people I know the answer's yes

[acoustic pelican]

In my country they are all asking me for a lot of experience

• german

and I lack the ability to speak german

[lime trout]

are you in germany?

[acoustic pelican]

no

[muted olive]

rip

[lime trout]

swiss...?

[acoustic pelican]

but they still require german cause the clients live in Austria

nope

[lime trout]

oh austria

[jaunty pulsar]

switzerland?

[lime trout]

seats.aero is for the points travel game

[acoustic pelican]

most IT companies get contracts from german clients in Europe @lime trout

that's how it works here

you either speak french

[muted olive]

ohh, I see

[acoustic pelican]

or german

if you don't speak french or german

[lime trout]

could always pick it up

[acoustic pelican]

with english you won't get far

in Europe at least

cause UK got out

[lime trout]

i mean your american iirc, if you have decent income its ag reat game to play

[acoustic pelican]

That's why as a young european citizen

[muted olive]

I dont have income as of now

[acoustic pelican]

I started to hate Europe as a continent

because it lacks intelligence

[lime trout]

ah, then hard to play the credit card game

[green kite]

@acoustic pelican English is perfectly accepted here in Belgium and Netherlands

[acoustic pelican]

America or China are better

[lime trout]

if your in the EU you can just move to somewhere english speaking

[austere sigil]

take it easy if you want to stay

[acoustic pelican]

America and China are more efficient

Japan aswell

[lime trout]

consider moving?

[jaunty pulsar]

japan for tourism? yes, but for work? you're better off in the EU

[acoustic pelican]

I went to Luxembourg , one of the founding fathers of EU

[muted olive]

I mean I have a couple of CCs, just nothing to put in them yet
How do these points work exactly? You receive/spend from your card to earn them?

[signal mica]

Not for work man

[acoustic pelican]

and they all asked me of french or german

I went to Denmark

[green kite]

well, thats luxemburg for ya

[acoustic pelican]

they all asked me to speak danish

[muted olive]

no tax wooooo

[green kite]

luxemburg has tax lol

[lime trout]

How to best do it heavily depends on what you spend money on.

The 2 main ways are going to be Sign Up Bonuses and Multipliers

SUB's are for example, 175k Points for opening a card and spending 8k in 6 months

Multipilers mean for this card you get 5pts per dollar on dining, and you align that with where you spend money

[green kite]

you're talking about UAE

[acoustic pelican]

it feels like only a small part of the population gets helped , but the majority is left behind @green kite

it's like people who have connections survive , but those who lack it

will fail

That's how EU governments work

[austere sigil]

😐

[green kite]

can't agree there

[acoustic pelican]

Let's say I was born in Luxembourg or Netherlands

you have laws that give you moeny if you get born there

[lime trout]

but whats stopping you from making connections, go out meet people

[acoustic pelican]

if i come from Romania to your country

your laws will say that I am not eligble for equal status

so basicly you discrimiante immigrants

for not offering them the same laws

[austere sigil]

not correct

[lime trout]

that is how every country works

[acoustic pelican]

it's true

[jaunty pulsar]

technically he's doing that here lol

[acoustic pelican]

What is the point of Europe if we can't have the same laws ?

[muted olive]

That sounds like a system that can be gamed

Not that I'd do that

[lime trout]

very much so

[heady sage]

Peeta it’s cold here

[acoustic pelican]

As long as people get money based on where they ge borned from the STATE

the STATE is discriminating minorities

[jaunty pulsar]

Laois get the prada jacket from my petacopta

[acoustic pelican]

you could argue that's racism or xenophobia too

[austere sigil]

error on line 1 at column 1: Start tag expected, '<' not found

[muted olive]

@lime trout I still don't clearly know which government to pay taxes to either

[lime trout]

if you support everyone who lives in your country the same way as you do citizens, your going to go bankrupt and ruin the services for your citizens

you only have so much capacity

[acoustic pelican]

Another problem in Romania is that our government rised taxes for home owners, by 80 - 200%

[lime trout]

but just because you werent born somewhere, doesnt mean you cant move and naturalize

and become a citizen

[acoustic pelican]

People complain if I own the house ?

why should I pay taxes if I own ?

it's kinda shitt too to pay for the STATE who offers nothing

[muted olive]

property tax

[lime trout]

its part of living in a society man

[heady sage]

Canada has healthcare but uhh it’s not very good. I mean I get what you pay for

[lime trout]

do you not ever use the roads?

healthcare?

[graceful pendant]

oh yeah offers nothing and you drive to work on pavement and have streetlamps

[lime trout]

have you ever used canadian healthcare? /gen

[acoustic pelican]

anyway

[heady sage]

I have horror stories from friends

[acoustic pelican]

there is a darth vader fish in the deep ocean of Atlantic @heady sage

we call it the DARTH VADER fish

google it

looks like hell bro

[lime trout]

in my experience the only difference between canada and the US is if you get a bill at the end

[muted olive]

I've heard Canadian/Mexican healthcare is far cheaper than the US

[lime trout]

if you goto the ER with a cough in either country your going to wait a while 😂

[acoustic pelican]

45% goes to the state

from your salary

[jaunty pulsar]

mexico yes but I doubt canada's is far cheaper

[acoustic pelican]

is that the same in your countries ?

[graceful pendant]

at least you dont have to worry about that

[lime trout]

we dont pay out of pocket in canada

[acoustic pelican]

do you guys pay 45% ?

[lime trout]

its covered

[acoustic pelican]

I doubt that

[lime trout]

Yes

[acoustic pelican]

I believe most of you pay less

[muted olive]

45%?

[zealous charm]

bonus points: it was made by a bug bounty hunter

[acoustic pelican]

@muted olive on all jobs

[jaunty pulsar]

45% is nuts lol

[acoustic pelican]

45%

[lime trout]

45% isnt that uncommon

[jaunty pulsar]

yeah but it's still high anyway

[acoustic pelican]

It's one of the biggest taxes on salary

[lime trout]

if your working in tech making a good income

[acoustic pelican]

Medium wage is 1500 euros /$

in tech @lime trout

[muted olive]

Isn't that if you're earning above something like a million dollars a year?

[lime trout]

wage alone is meaningless without comparing against CoL

[graceful pendant]

none of this affects you because your unemployed so why are you complaining

[lime trout]

no lol

[acoustic pelican]

well I can't get a job

[lime trout]

https://quack.pics/u/6ea76ec7-c07e-462a-bf46-e51a0a9048ff.png

[acoustic pelican]

because I did not work for the past 5 years

nobody wants to hire me

[lime trout]

first is QC, second is Canada

[acoustic pelican]

cause from 22 to 27

[lime trout]

just as an example

[acoustic pelican]

i did not work

and it seems nobody likes that

I played video games

[lime trout]

at over 54k/year your top tax rate is ~40%, but your effective is lower obv

[acoustic pelican]

My friends call work = modern slavery

slaves who get tricked into consumerism and become slave of the system

of the higher society

[jaunty pulsar]

depends how they interpret their work life

[graceful pendant]

bro i cant

[jaunty pulsar]

if they hate their work and feel underpaid it's called "slavery". Simple as that

[lime trout]

if you dont have experience its hard to get a job

[acoustic pelican]

Anyway, I think youg guys are quite smart

not too bad for a discord server

decent I would say

[graceful pendant]

im actually leaving to do some of my modern slavery I have left over

[jaunty pulsar]

yea this server is great lol

[acoustic pelican]

@lime trout i don't feel ready to work

[jaunty pulsar]

one of the reasons why I love htb

[acoustic pelican]

I need someone to show me HOW to work

what to CLICK

why clicking works

etc

If people don't show me where to CLICK

i can't work

[lime trout]

have you considered university?

[acoustic pelican]

I am in University

[lime trout]

Most places have a expectation that you'll be able to self-learn to a degree

[acoustic pelican]

But even they don't tell us what to click

[muted olive]

Then its the time to learn

[lime trout]

and if you dont its hard

[acoustic pelican]

we got a project to do for cloud security

2 VMS with a firewall

and all the network should go through the fireawll

for the 2 vms

that's it @lime trout

[lime trout]

im unsure of the point your trying to make here

[acoustic pelican]

that's what the teachers asked us to do

a infrastructure

[jaunty pulsar]

to the academy we go lol

[lime trout]

ok, and?

whats confusing you about it

[acoustic pelican]

where we will do audits and pen testing simulations

on 2 VMS with 2 OS

with a firewall connecting them

that's how labs work

@lime trout I do not know how to set it

[lime trout]

yeah that sounds like a pretty standard setup

[lime trout]

set what?

[acoustic pelican]

because configuring a firewall won't work even if I use Chat GPT

AI won't help me

because the AI does not have the data to help

[lime trout]

you shouldnt use AI to learn tbh

[jaunty pulsar]

check a guide or, since you're here, ask around

[lime trout]

have you tried googling or looking on youtube for how to setup X firewall

[acoustic pelican]

I tried

and failed

[lime trout]

its a pretty common task with most firewall systems

[acoustic pelican]

I get angry when I fail

[lime trout]

what firewall are you using?

[acoustic pelican]

and give up

it's called ADHD brain

I don't have time to wait

i gotta solve it now

that's how I am as a person

[lime trout]

no, your making excuses for your poor behaviour.

[jaunty pulsar]

if you overcome this, you'll have a great and happy journey in cybersec. And I'm speaking from experience

[lime trout]

if ADHD is causing you troubles, see a doctor get on meds find a strat that works

[acoustic pelican]

I tried meds

You think I did no try

all the doctors in my country say that meds will destroy my brain

so they adviced me to not take pills

because they will burn my brain in 20 years

[muted olive]

I think its fine if you actually understand and learn

[lime trout]

at the end of the day your going to have to come up with something that works for you

[muted olive]

Asking it to do the work for you, however

is a no

[lime trout]

you cant just blame everything on ADHD and give up or you'll end up getting nowhere

[graceful pendant]

bad take tbh

[lime trout]

eh, im against it for learning. You dont have the baseline to know when its just outright lying to you

using it as a tool to speed up work is onething

but alot of people end up using it to replace learning/thinking

[graceful pendant]

I think its almost the other way around

[frozen zinc]

I have ADHD and never had meds, If true that sometimes is hard to focus in something for too long, but that doesnt mean you stop. It means you jump from lets say learning Web pentest to RE, then you code some projects, then you go back to Web then you go to blue team... Is annoy bcs it would be way more productive to focus on the same thing all the time, but in the long run if you persist things start clicking, you just need to keep pushing and have a positive attitude, and enjoy what you are doing

[acoustic pelican]

Anyway I do appreciate your time here

[graceful pendant]

if you learn with it great, if you use it to do all ur work, bad

[acoustic pelican]

it means something you know @lime trout

[jaunty pulsar]

it's actually a good take. Because you're better off searching the hard way than just wait for a model to give you answers immediately

[acoustic pelican]

spending time with stranger and get nothing out of it

it's a nice thing to do

[lime trout]

yeah also AuDHD, was without meds for a long time - you just gotta learn to figure your own way to deal with it

[muted olive]

hallucinations is a valid point though

its confidently wrong many times in my exp

[acoustic pelican]

It's also the fact that I lack passion to work

[graceful pendant]

if your asking it to explain high level its fine

[lime trout]

as a tool to speed up work != do all your work

[acoustic pelican]

i hate working, i don't want to go to school or work , i do this by force @frozen zinc @lime trout

[jaunty pulsar]

that's also a big problem

[acoustic pelican]

because I have no other options left in my life

my parents are old sick, and they will die

i gotta earn some money

[lime trout]

have you looked into perhaps career paths that would be more interesting to you?

maybe cyber isnt the right choice

[muted olive]

high level is fine but when you ask it to go granular, it will either say something totally wrong or it will come to a conclusion while overlooking some important detail

[acoustic pelican]

For example I never got passed hello world

[frozen zinc]

Bro the you need to find the balance

[acoustic pelican]

scripting or coding

it makes no sense to me

if someone using bash or teraform

code makes no sense

even if it's soft code or hard core

it makes no sense in my brain

[frozen zinc]

Btw what is useful/uni task and what give you joy and spark your passion

[acoustic pelican]

I don't get it, do people learn code by hard ?

they got good memory skills

[muted olive]

If you want to be successful but don't want to commit to it, you won't get anywhere in any field

[acoustic pelican]

or they just copy paste from AI and google ?

[lime trout]

then either you need to put time in and learn it, or consider if this is really the right career path for you if its not working out this much

[acoustic pelican]

copy paste the cheatlists ?

[muted olive]

No, you understand the logic and implement it

[acoustic pelican]

Do you need memory or just copy paste from google

[graceful pendant]

im losing braincells, later

[lime trout]

memory, logic patterns

most things follow a similar structure

[acoustic pelican]

So you need to know where to find the solution for the specific problem you are facing at work ?

so you need to understand the problem

[muted olive]

yes

[acoustic pelican]

So you don't have to memorise the code

[muted olive]

no

[acoustic pelican]

good

thx

[jaunty pulsar]

nope

[muted olive]

you memorize the syntax

not the logic

[manic anvil]

you know guys , it would be cool if we collab with trace lab

[frozen zinc]

In my experience the things I like tend to stick better at my brain that the things I dont and the things I found super hard with time and perseverance start making sense

[lime trout]

logic patterns you do

[muted olive]

yeah

[lime trout]

but not the specific logic for each program yeah

[acoustic pelican]

I do not understand anchors and sytaxes

[muted olive]

your skill develops over time to adapt and adjust to each specific problem

[acoustic pelican]

I have a bachelor's in business economics

and started a masters in computer science

but I lack the basics

[muted olive]

its really not that hard to understand

[acoustic pelican]

to do cybersecurity

[muted olive]

the syntax is easy to learn

[acoustic pelican]

which involves understanding everything about IT

[frozen zinc]

is muscle memory bro

[acoustic pelican]

You can't do cyber well

if you do not understand all the techs in IT

[frozen zinc]

It came with practice

[acoustic pelican]

That's what our teachers say

in cyber, you need to know a little of everything

[lime trout]

then perhaps jumping into a masters was a bad choice

[muted olive]

see if you can get a refund lol

[frozen zinc]

for my learning C++ was what make everything click after studying python, HTML,CSS, JS and a bit of GO, when i then move to C++ everything made sense

[lime trout]

you should really go back and study the basics

and think about if this is the right path for you

as you dont seem to be enjoying it at all

[jaunty pulsar]

same happened to me with data analysis (no need to ask why I learned it 😅). I studied the python code then switched to R to understand the theoretical part

rn I'm back studying python and it's much easier now

[frozen zinc]

yeah is not a linear path way

[muted olive]

The first lang I learned was Java

Switched to Python after 2 years

So I didn't find it hard at all

[acoustic pelican]

I contacted the CEO of Code academy on X

i told him that because I have ADHD I do not understand what are the labs asking me to do in python

even python makes no sense to me

i told him

[jaunty pulsar]

I did learn about stats and hypothesis testing before even touching python code at first but the point is that wasn't all clear to me at first

[acoustic pelican]

He told me to give it more time

lol

[frozen zinc]

bro I dont want to be mean but you are using ADHD as excuse

[static bloom]

what do you mean by it makes no sense to you...

[frozen zinc]

thats the first thing you need to change

[lime trout]

alot of us here have ADHD/AuDHD...

[acoustic pelican]

But I know what is happening in my brain

I know it's the ADHD i'm way too impatient

I can't have it

[lime trout]

then you need to figure out ways to address and cope with that

you cant just say its the ADHD and give up

[acoustic pelican]

ok

I will try

[frozen zinc]

I feel the same, thats why i jump around too much, Im just lucky i like the entire field

[lime trout]

i really think you should think about if cyber is the right choice for you tbh

and maybe explore other options

[signal mica]

adhd is the best for cyber

[lime trout]

if you like cyber sure

if you dont it makes it harder

[muted olive]

there was a podcast on adhd in cyber or in general

there we go

https://open.spotify.com/show/1Y4bY2yGVh9zZpZ18VXC1g

[frozen zinc]

Today for example in the last 3 hours, I had being making notes out a writeup I did for Browsed, Solved a Web challenge and wrote some dirty notes and work a bit on my coding projects, I haven't finish anything bcs im constantly jumping but im sure that at the end of the day something will be done. Would have been better if I focus in the same thing until Im done.... Probably, but i just cant lol

[jaunty pulsar]

well at least you're not just focusing on one thing and getting stuck at it

[frozen zinc]

Well im stuck at discord ahaha

[jaunty pulsar]

that's a good approach overall, but if you need to complete one of your tasks today for example, you'll need to divert your focus to that one tasks

I did the same thing this morning making 3 different CTF challenges

[frozen zinc]

priority number one is to finish making the general notes out the writeup

I know i can do that today

I need to clean some weird characters my agent is generating when it decrypt back to my C2

Im happy if I find exactly why today

Then would be nice to work a bit on my JWT notes

[jaunty pulsar]

I also need to get done with my tasks

I wanted to come back to htb academy for a while but I couldn't cuz I have a busy schedule

at least this week I might be able to finish a tier 1 module or 2 tier 0s if I have the time :))

[frozen zinc]

I find easy to have like three task that i can jump btw when i feel stuck/bored

[jaunty pulsar]

same lol

[frozen zinc]

yeah

[fiery copper]

Emma

I have a fact

[near swift]

About 2400 usd

[gray wraith]

And not being a POS

Nothing will save you if working with you is a pain in the ass

[frozen zinc]

WAIT

AFTER THE 26TH I CAN DO THE VULNLAB BOXES??

and bcs i have year subscription I dont need to pay extra until it expires right?

[fiery copper]

Nah thats actually autism

[zealous charm]

@muted olive file import > XSS > RCE paid out at $1500

[lofty warren]

nice

[muted olive]

at least you got money compared to my $0 😭

But also that is insanely low

[zealous charm]

Yeah, better than $0 but lower than I hoped

[scenic maple]

how did u get rce after xss?
like admin can run code or something like that?

[muted olive]

I would say stop hunting for that program but hey money is money

[muted olive]

either a CVE or the app runs on electron is my guess

[scenic maple]

[zealous charm]

its a desktop app so XSS can result in RCE. In this case it was an embedded IE11 browser so I used ActiveX

[scenic maple]

why would they use IE11 browser 💀

[muted olive]

XSS != RCE in all desktop apps by default right?

[scenic maple]

well yeah if its sandboxed well u cant get rce

[muted olive]

in this case idk if ActiveX is a previously established CVE or not

[zealous charm]

Yeah not in all cases, if they had used an updated chromium browser this would not be possible

[muted olive]

does the app run on electron?

[zealous charm]

C/C# app

[scenic maple]

@signal mica

[muted olive]

ah

I mean chromium base so

rce more likely

[scenic maple]

microslop

[muted olive]

Found this interesting thing recently though @zealous charm

called codeql

either everyone's already heard of it and im living under a rock, or its a new technique

[scenic maple]

caido query thing?

or is it the github thing

[graceful pendant]

I think convex & clerk are gonna be really good targets for BB

[muted olive]

hi I can see student subscription on OLD academy, but can NOT see on NEW academy, academy 2.0.
does it mean, academy subscription will end when move to academy 2.0 ?

codeql is pretty rad. My only issue is that sometimes the effort spent making a custom query for the target that is productive takes more time then just grepping/semgrep for sussy functions and doing the bare minimum effort to find a path manually.

It does have the advantage of scaling up with the complexity of the software though but be prepared for it to be sloooowwwww.

How do you report here?

[edgy vapor]

We banned like 7 of them in the THM Discord. They're still here. I can send the list to the mods but how do you guys contact them here?

Is it just a straight ping?

[young glen]

Who?

[edgy vapor]

The mods.

[fiery copper]

The big leagues are small

[edgy vapor]

@scenic maple Boop. You're the one that usually reply to me. Would you want the list?

[fiery copper]

Hello since you are here I want to make you a request

[young glen]

You can check the members list of this Discord

[fiery copper]

@edgy vapor I know you are a THM mod, can you check the automod perm mute on me?

I tried to contact on mail and was ignored and in dms too

As for you personally cannot be contacted without being discord friends

[edgy vapor]

I don't see any DM from you.

[edgy vapor]

That's because of your settings. Mine are public.

[lime trout]

shoot me a dm

[fiery copper]

Weird I have to check my settings then

[edgy vapor]

Yoo it's emma!

Will DM

[fiery copper]

Anyway can you temporarely accept my friend request to send you a dm regarding automod?

[edgy vapor]

I'll check now.

All good.

[fiery copper]

Ngl didnt know that word was filtered

[edgy vapor]

Google it.

You'll know why.

[fiery copper]

Ye I get why to some degree

[muted olive]

Slow indeed. I am working on a tool which passes the codeql output to an LLM to filter out false positives though

If its a Windows based app (which is what I've been doing for a while now, mostly electron apps), I just use Powershell to grep through everything for sus patterns

like Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Path *.js | Select-String "open\(" or whatever

Its really effective too

[rancid snow]

yeah, people(newbies at least) tend to underestimate how effective just searching for something and putting your eyeballs on it is

the second most underestimated method is trying

[muted olive]

I cant count the number of times I tried to dynamic test something before seeing something in the code that I missed which is why it didnt work

These days I rip apart the entire codebase and trace everything end to end with dry runs using test data to ensure that it 100% works on paper before proceeding to dynamic

And catch a lot more false positives that way too instead of jumping straight to a dynamic test

Also, AI hinders more than helping lol

Gives me straight up BS confidently

[signal mica]

Classic

[muted olive]

Gemini in particular. It has a massive context window but it loves hallucinating random shit

[rancid snow]

I had a funny instance the other day where I was trying to trigger a code path that looked suspicious, and I was testing on a clean fork because it had better odds if I compiled it to 32bit and it looked like it was working but was being kind of strange.

Turned out that in the time from when I started looking at the project to when I forked it(5 days) the developer added an update that introduced a NEW bug unrelated to what I was hunting that coincidentally also got triggered by my test case lmao

[scenic maple]

send

nvm ifu dmed emma tho

[lime trout]

I got it

[muted olive]

lol

[edgy vapor]

Thanks to you both. ❤️

[rancid snow]

AI can be a useful assistant but always have to verify everything and distrust it lol

sadly the project I was hunting doesnt take DoS and it was just a sad null pointer deref

[muted olive]

yeah...
just today for example. I thought I saw an integer overflow and asked it, and it said yes. In fact three LLMs said the same (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)
I think ChatGPT in particular mentioned something I hadn't thought of and I tested it which confirmed that it wasn't exploitable once I ran some tests to check something lol

[muted olive]

ah that sucks. DoS is low hanging fruit

null pointer dereference is also cool though

[lime trout]

Denial of wallet is a much more flavoured vector of similar type

[rancid snow]

yeah Ive already found dozens of infinite processing DoS for this project

null ptr deref is just a cooler dos

[muted olive]

Usually illegal

[rancid snow]

slightly cooler anyways

[muted olive]

DoS as in crashing the local system not a live service

[lime trout]

Ehhhh, it depends

Bug bounty wise

Just because you found a way to infinitely scale a service and bankrupt a company doesn’t mean you have to do it to prove it

[muted olive]

For microsoft in particular they accept DoS on your own system which can crash it or BSoD. But DoS on their live services is out of scope

[muted olive]

Oh I mean this is true

[rancid snow]

this is also a library Im working on. not a service. Some services might be using it though

[muted olive]

Would be a business logic bug

[lime trout]

It’s not strictly dos

It’s just anything that can have uncapped cost

S3, scaling, etc etc

[muted olive]

Yeah would be business logic then

Very cool to find

[lime trout]

Denial of wallet sounds cooler

[muted olive]

Like those infinite use coupons someone found on Spotify a while ago

[muted olive]

I mean technically

[lime trout]

Not the same thing

[muted olive]

If you start 50,000 EC2 instances then it could be.. pricey

Or whatever causes losses to the company

Its interesting

[lime trout]

There was an s3 one not long ago too

Where you could cause obscene access charges onto any bucket

[muted olive]

That brings up an interesting thought

[lime trout]

That would then get billed to the buckets owner

[muted olive]

If you open 33.33 billion sessions on ChatGPT and send one prompt in each, OpenAI would lose 10 billion dollars instantly

[lime trout]

iirc it was they billed for region re direct etc even after it returned unauthorized

And billing for unauthorized requests leads to expected outcomes

[muted olive]

That sounds like something to try and find in more niche CSPs

Whenever there's a vuln in something like a big mail client, its nice to try out the same thing on competitor apps and see if it works

[lime trout]

https://medium.com/@maciej.pocwierz/how-an-empty-s3-bucket-can-make-your-aws-bill-explode-934a383cb8b1

Oh here it is

[muted olive]

Sometimes you may even get hits

Who knows

[muted olive]

god damn lol

idk why would they charge for unauth requests in the first place?

seems like a dumb thing to do on purpose, unless it was an edge case in the code they overlooked

"multi dimensional entropy binding"

Do you wanna explain that?

just use base256

its that easy

they provide a ovpn file

you can use the openvpn tool to connect to the vpn
