[terse dirge]

Prolabs are really good for AD

Rebound is a good AD box too

Lmao we got these little tracker things for a car to "get discounted insurance"

[frozen zinc]

lol

Bro your issue i think is not with stealth is with the iddle mode from windows freezing your vm right?

when you close the lid of your laptop?

Am i wrong?

[wintry flume]

on point

[wintry flume]

need all dat💀

[high lynx]

why doing boxes like crack, tickles mi brain right

[brittle quail]

Yea I don’t need “stealth” the issue is it keeps freezing

On my home pc the pc stays on 24/7 it doesn’t lock but somehow the vm still freezes

Parrot did at least

I just need one I can keep open all the time with no issues

[loud epoch]

@lilac cipher how many letters?

[brittle quail]

got arch workin finally

nvm

[frozen zinc]

with Arch you wont have that issue bcs it comes without iddle mode by default but for the same reasons you may encounter other issues

can i ask you how much ram do you have?

[loud epoch]

can you be my ram

[molten bobcat]

I'll be your ram

[loud epoch]

AWWWW CLOUD

[frozen zinc]

lol

[loud epoch]

see this is why ur the best

[frozen zinc]

🐏

[brittle quail]

not much i think 16g

[loud epoch]

also this claude code stuff is very interesting ngl first time I ever try

[frozen zinc]

bro

brotherman

pls

[loud epoch]

and whoever posted gsd is the goat it's neat

[brittle quail]

get 32?

[frozen zinc]

ah ok gb my brain saw grams

[brittle quail]

16 grams of ram 😭

[frozen zinc]

gs are gs bro

[brittle quail]

anyway

[frozen zinc]

Now you can put the lid down and you will be fine for sure xD

[brittle quail]

why do u ask about ram tho

[frozen zinc]

Well my theory is that maybe when windows comes out the iddle mode start loading everything

and that made your vm freeze

bcs maybe lack of ram?

[brittle quail]

could be

[frozen zinc]

but 16gb should be fine

[brittle quail]

im starting arch now

[frozen zinc]

how much did you gave to the vm

[brittle quail]

just base

didnt change anything

[terse dirge]

I'd love to open one up and dump the firmware lol

[high lynx]

are you on VirtualBox?

[wintry flume]

do that then

[brittle quail]

yes

oh okay wow

this is different.

[high lynx]

after youve finished your setup and arranged the VM the way you want, be sure to install Guest Additions the performance boost with Arch is really substantial

i just did it this week and the difference is vast lol

[brittle quail]

alright how do i even set it up im in the initial setup terminal

[high lynx]

oh Im on Athena which is a derivative, I dont want to give you bad instructions lel

[brittle quail]

alright

[high lynx]

my bad

[frozen zinc]

wdym? everything is a terminal no?

you are the terminal bro

[brittle quail]

its saying

[frozen zinc]

one with the machine

[brittle quail]

no no

[dusky hedge]

what linux distro has too much kernel level signing, similar ti how windows does

[high lynx]

neo is that you

[frozen zinc]

xD

[high lynx]

yeah I mean on the terminal is should be pretty specific about how you need to install it, I remember on Athena I just had to follow the instructions, if it didnt work I retraced my steps because theres something I didnt do correctly

[frozen zinc]

but what is bro trying to do?

[brittle quail]

ok this is rlly confsuing

the wiki guide is too

[loud epoch]

really not sure but maybe chromeos? lol https://www.reddit.com/r/chromeos/comments/1dewxai/creating_signed_linux_kernels_manually/ if that's what you mean

[terse dirge]

You can configure forcing lkms to be signed https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/module-signing.html

[frozen zinc]

biblical i know

[high lynx]

basically when you install Arch/BlackArch/Athena the installation is through a terminal, think of when you install Windows you only have to click to continue for Arch its a bit different

[frozen zinc]

Bro i run arch in baremetal as my main distro for years

thats why im saying

[high lynx]

ah well hes probably new

[molten bobcat]

I am

So tired

But work is almost over

[high lynx]

https://youtu.be/gc5x6oKs-s8?si=nSUXpE9KB9oqawQI

[terse dirge]

Just use a Kali VM instead of trying to be different or installing it as a host os

[high lynx]

carry on my friend

yeye I know its for @brittle quail

[terse dirge]

Install void as a daily driver or something like fedora if you wanna be a corpo but don't wanna admit it

[frozen zinc]

I install arch once every 3 months lol

just for the sport

[terse dirge]

Do Linux from scratch instead it's much more difficult

[brittle quail]

do i need that usb part

im not using one

[frozen zinc]

I dont do it to make it difficult i do it bcs I like to cleanup

even now with timeshift

i still do it

[high lynx]

nah bro youre on a VM, as @terse dirge said youre probably better off starting with Kali

much simpler

[molten bobcat]

I have to

Do the dishes

And then I can cook

[frozen zinc]

Yeah you could also try HackTheBox Academy @brittle quail

[terse dirge]

What's for dinner tonight?

[frozen zinc]

there is a module that help you setup the shiet

[molten bobcat]

I haven't decided!

The vibe is passing time until I get my exam results

[frozen zinc]

I had gnocci with pesto ricotta and natural tomatos

[meager kernel]

Good morning

[frozen zinc]

my sunday comfort

[molten bobcat]

What's an unnatural tomato

[frozen zinc]

you are rage baiting

[molten bobcat]

I'm not

What's natural about your tomato

Vs my tomato

[terse dirge]

You should make vodka pasta or Bolognese

[meager kernel]

His is bigger

[molten bobcat]

Woh

[terse dirge]

Something bold!

[molten bobcat]

Fat tomato

[frozen zinc]

well you say natural tomato to make emphasis about using the fruit raw, instead of a paste or canned stuff

[molten bobcat]

I've never heard that before

[frozen zinc]

Well now you did

[molten bobcat]

We usual describe it how it's served

Are they

Tiny tomato

Like the ones you put in salads

[meager kernel]

https://tenor.com/view/brain-in-ass-gif-12119060648620266328

[frozen zinc]

i normally like cherry, piccolo and those variants but in this case was a normal one

[molten bobcat]

Ahh yeah cherry tomatoes are the tiny ones I was thinking of

[frozen zinc]

there are a few

[molten bobcat]

I was thinking of tomato slices

[frozen zinc]

i did slices first then cubes

[undone fossil]

erm its 0.125

also bandit dont listen to a word that @molten bobcat guy says

he only lies

[brittle quail]

No I don’t wanna use Kali because it keeps freezing that’s the whole reason I’m installing arch because people told me it won’t freeze

[undone fossil]

?

[thorn robin]

kali lowkey freezes on me too when using bloodhound ngl

[frozen zinc]

xD

dont make him cry pls

he is hungry

[undone fossil]

@molten bobcat im stealing ur food

but you can have the green parts

[brittle quail]

I had this in Italy

Very good

[frozen zinc]

its a classic and the colours are the italian flag

Love it for the sundays

[meager kernel]

I wanna make a joke but dont wanna get banned

[brittle quail]

Arch is gonna make me end it

Why DO I have to install it 😭

[meager kernel]

You don't have to though

[undone fossil]

alternatively

[frozen zinc]

no bro you are going to turn in to a butterfly

[undone fossil]

wait are you running a vm

[brittle quail]

Yes

[meager kernel]

Arch turns you into a femboy

[undone fossil]

if so there's a million reasons other than OS choice as to why its slow

[brittle quail]

Oh wow

[undone fossil]

if VMware on windows my best bet is you have hyper-v enabled

[brittle quail]

No vbox

[molten bobcat]

I love lying

[meager kernel]

Its a Vbox issue

[frozen zinc]

flying?

[brittle quail]

Probably

[undone fossil]

very likely

[brittle quail]

In that case maybe I don’t need arch

Maybe give myself more cpu or soemthing

[frozen zinc]

or configure windows properly

[late sleet]

you need hannah montana os

[frozen zinc]

for your neeeds

[loud epoch]

do not worry boo I am deceptiq (deception)

[brittle quail]

Idk how to do that

[alpine nimbus]

https://tenor.com/view/kylan-i-warned-you-cowboy-gif-20634732

[alpine nimbus]

That's why I said don't touch Arch lol

[brittle quail]

Hm

[alpine nimbus]

The only reason I'm checking it is because I have 10 years of experience lol

And even then might just go Parrot instead

[frozen zinc]

there is a module in the academy thats is a good start point for that

[alpine nimbus]

"Starting Point"

[frozen zinc]

no i mean intro to windows or something like that

[frozen zinc]

I bet 10 bananas you havent log into the academy yet

[brittle quail]

u got 10 bananas 😭

[frozen zinc]

[brittle quail]

I only did 2 labs

If you're doing illegal stuff there's more than one way to track someone down than just their IP

eBpfs are great for learning about creating your own app armor and defensive tools

I was focused on machines a lot the past months

[warped plank]

Well...

I don't see any community contributed pro labs, so I can staff only.

Technically all the VulnLab ones are community contributed cos they were made before XCT was staff

technically and historically, yes.

[ornate ibex]

yes, but what you said is like one doing everything and others following it?

[devout sail]

I was looking around for my machine writeup on internet in release week
And saw a guy uploading writeups for new machine which were total bullshit

Idk why he does it but it was funny

[muted olive]

Also your writeup for eighteen is kinda... wrong? or maybe a skill issue on my side?

is that box retired yet?

or

[warped plank]

No we share a bunch of info, then I just make it easier for anyone else who hasn't done the box yet by gathering said info, I usually redact all the hashes and passwords.

[warped plank]

Wha huh? DM me?

Can't be wrong I updated it recently.

[muted olive]

everyone does everything together

dont typically follow writeup

unless

weird guy

[devout sail]

He probably already did same for facts too 💀

[austere sigil]

And that’s a fact

[ornate ibex]

ok that makes sense. I thought it was more of like a writeup

Yeah, I spoke to them several times and I gave up 🫠

[devout sail]

Why?

I'm pretty sure they just let some ai write shit, cuz no way someone spending their time making troll content

[austere sigil]

4chan is still a thing

[devout sail]

Oh fuck the facts writeup is real

That's legit spoilers

[ornate ibex]

Cuz they didn't adhere to the instructions

[devout sail]

Why not ban? Cuz the link I sent had real writeup

[meager kernel]

bro really said pakistanese

[supple plume]

one day I asked

hey do you trust me today

and the guy said NO, TOMORROW

[devout sail]

Yep

[muted olive]

plus implementation is harder

[devout sail]

Implementation is the easier part compared to finding something good

[devout sail]

You can sit around for hours then

[muted olive]

nah implementation is harder for me anyway

plus i cant really think of anything original

[devout sail]

Have dev friends then

[muted olive]

just boring stuff or already thought of

[devout sail]

And get free work from them

It's like owning them

I have 2

1 personal, 1 professional

[muted olive]

challenges are nice to make though

since they are standalone

[devout sail]

Yeah but i rarely do challenges to think about it

[devout sail]

Echo you aren't personal slave

[muted olive]

from development POV, machine is basically 5 challenges chained

i have a class on malware analysis and ICS SCADA security

life is good

im autisming this shit too hard

[terse dirge]

Most of the classes in college are theory and outdated shit here lol

There's one class that uses HTB tho but I'm not taking it this semester

[stable tiger]

We're analysing shit from 2015 tbf

[terse dirge]

We have a wireshark class that's out of date and the instructor doesn't want to update it

[stable tiger]

im currently writing a useless paragraph my lecturer will ignore on how APT28 had sloppy as fuck practice using cmd.exe for command execution

😭

[terse dirge]

Lmao

[terse dirge]

If you want more up to date samples look on malware bazaar

nah it's not my choice what we look at

that's why im shitting on it

I mostly just do that to copy their techniques in better ways

[tawdry sorrel]

When I've joined the army and I have showed them my certs (Master Degree in IT), one of the generals stand up and said "Oh great, so you know how to use excel and word" at that moment I've realized that Universities degrees are useless as shit.

[stable tiger]

the lion calls APT groups sloppy for directly using cmd.exe

[stable tiger]

clearly you haven't heard of delaying employment

[tawdry sorrel]

[terse dirge]

Lmao. I had to explain what kubernetes was and what volumes in containers were to an IT program director

[tawdry sorrel]

For the moment my country is literally fucked up, so I'm obliged to serve in the military until I find a better job.

[terse dirge]

It started because of rook ceph storage and he thought we had to optimize it to prevent network bottle necks then said "why just have ceph on one machine?" And I looked at him like that monsters Inc meme

[sturdy thistle]

Your car ok?

[terse dirge]

Cheeto or my driving car?

[hexed quartz]

So why you are calling APTs sloppy

[stable tiger]

Bcos it's fucking piss poor opsec to call cmd.exe in any malware?

[hexed quartz]

@stable tiger So what can you do? 🧐

[stable tiger]

as in to replace calling cmd.exe?

[terse dirge]

Cheese ball is doing good he had a vet appointment on Sunday and he might not need insulin for much longer

[hexed quartz]

Amatures

[stable tiger]

Shit anything really, theres a lot better options. Specifically for the time, they could've fiddled with wmic.exe to execute shell commands without a log

given the same attack literally used a word macro i doubt it was in their interest

[hexed quartz]

Real stuff looks like noob
Until it doesn't

[stable tiger]

It was noob practice to call cmd.exe

They were literally dropping exes instead of operating in memory

[terse dirge]

You should ask your instructor on his thoughts on nim

[stable tiger]

ye but that doesnt excuse noob practice

[hexed quartz]

Yeah

[lime trout]

It doesn’t, but it also shows the skill and effort required

does all the certificates or learning path cost real money in hack the box ?

hello guys sorry to bother you all today i have a bit of amnesia , i have my own vm to connect to hackthebox for doing the module etc... nut when i go to access trough the vpn i cant remember the password to login to a target ip via ssh . the module didnt gave me password or username thanks

[lime trout]

Certs yes, some modules are free though (Tier 0)

[mossy copper]

skill paths ?
i don't see any cost or anything on skill paths does those require any VIP subscribtion or real money ?

[tawdry sorrel]

Is it wrong about laughing at THM comparing it to HTB it sounds fun to

[muted olive]

no

[plush zephyr]

Thise require academy subscription monthly or annual

[devout sail]

Well it's as popular as HTB
So they are pretty cool as platform

I've seen people who know THM more than HTB too

Wtf cjca icon is soo cool

[tawdry sorrel]

Thanks

[mossy copper]

i used THM and HTB.
i think THM is more of a guided way but HTB encourage self-learning or something like that

[devout sail]

I started there too, as a hobby a few years ago

I still hate how hard it is to find the page to do rooms

[frozen zinc]

THM also like to buys other sites domains

HTB rather buy the entire company

they are just different

[devout sail]

As a free user idc what platform does lmao (if it means in a bad way)

They can be criminals or whatever lmao as long as I get my content

[tawdry sorrel]

I know, and it's good as user friendly/ beginner. Just for the level part as a comparison between the two platforms then it deserves to laugh at

For example sec101 exam is 24 hours while CJCA is 5 days

[devout sail]

Yep, they make u feel superior for just knowing 5 tools

[frozen zinc]

Are you aware what happened with LetsDefend like a year ago right?

[devout sail]

Not really

What happened

Just like when I went to guthib.com

Did u connect to correct vpn?

[charred field]

yep

[devout sail]

Check which VPN u are connected to
And check which VPN machine is spawned 💀

Cuz the spawn might be on RA and you are on machine

[tawdry sorrel]

Encountered the same problem use us 1 vpn

[devout sail]

Show screenshot on machine page and vpn connection page

[frozen zinc]

Legal problems as a company are easy to avoid as individuals... and i dont think they care as far as they get the cash

[devout sail]

Fair enough, but tbh i wouldn't boycott them for this
It doesn't affect me

[devout sail]

Hi guys!!
Hackers compromised a website of a legit industry based in India to distribute terrifying clickfix-based infostealer malware which steals just about everything, from simple browser credentials to the money in your e-wallets, with the stolen data being sent to Russia.

Saw this case on Reddit and decided to dig deeper.
Ended up going down a rabbit hole with multiple stages for the malware, took me about 2 months to finally finish this.

Check it out, and give me a follow if u found it useful, thanks!!

haven't played htb for so long, only played HTG, for so long i missed it, idk if they removed it or not but i could never find it, i just focus in reality, but ive completed the starting points, but i have no vip to get all of them done. it helped me alot, of what systems could possibly have i could say i was impress

[devout sail]

HackTheG???

[grim sentinel]

Hacking battle grounds

[devout sail]

[grim sentinel]

Yeah i kinda wondered it was. idk why they removed it, probably because some follks, were bypassing the firewall, for accessing someones real system

[rustic carbon]

Hello
I am new here. I am from India and going to give my class12 exams. Can anyone guide me collage for admission, I have planned for NFSU but not sure that would I get admission in it or not as I am not that much good in studies. So if anybody have some advise for me please guide me it would be very helpful for me.

[grim sentinel]

what's your goal

I know you say admission, but within that, what's the goal you're trying to achieve?

[rustic carbon]

@grim sentinel Currently, my goal is to become a Cyber Defense Intelligence Officer

[grim sentinel]

Oh, that's amazing. I'm glad you're choosing a job; that's a Bit challenging, but hey, that's how you get better. Do you have any resources that you think would help you guide? for this specific Dream?

[muted olive]

Any competitive exams?

[devout sail]

[cunning marsh]

YO GUYS

[muted olive]

ty

[cunning marsh]

Join my CTF team

[rustic carbon]

@muted olive yes applied for JEE but the session 1 was not that good maybe I will get negative marks

[grim sentinel]

Hey, I love being a nerd, it helps my brain grow more than nutrients and maturity.

[muted olive]

try CET and stuff

[cunning marsh]

I need OSINT, pwn, forensics and crypto

[devout sail]

That's what a nerd would say 😢

[cunning marsh]

Anyone?

[rustic carbon]

@muted olive I opted science

[grim sentinel]

I've actually created my own script for osint, but it works with specific systems and endpoints.

[devout sail]

OSINT and forensic in random CTFs are just reverse image search or grep

[cunning marsh]

Not randoms I guess. Will you join my team?

[muted olive]

Yeah I guess do your best in the 12th boards and get a good rank in CET

[devout sail]

Nah i got something else to do

[muted olive]

Not that I'm very qualified in this domain to be giving advice but

[cunning marsh]

@devout sail , ok

[devout sail]

aren't u dropout?

[muted olive]

no

[devout sail]

Or were u the one preparing for some competitive exam

[muted olive]

I'm in the same boat as him lol

ah 2 nerds

[rustic carbon]

@muted olive what about collage, there must be a motive na

[muted olive]

wdym?

[devout sail]

I better come tomorrow when there's enough weirdoes around in general

[grim sentinel]

The academy's online will help you a lot.

[rustic carbon]

@muted olive CET is generally for government jobs not for collage.

[grim sentinel]

Have you tried getting a degree?

or is that your go to

[rustic carbon]

@grim sentinel it is my go to, planning for B.Tech

[devout sail]

In what?

Pretty sure nowadays CSE seats fills up fast

At my time
It was civil engineering trend

[grim sentinel]

B.tech? You can easily do this at home. I'm studying Agentic AI and Autonomous Attack Chains, or else I could help

[devout sail]

What 💀

You can graduate at home ic

[grim sentinel]

You can obtain a cybersecurity degree without following traditional paths. I am self-taught, and that’s how I improved my skills. Teaching myself makes sense because my own thinking and observations have been my two main teachers.

[muted olive]

you can get BTech with CET

in fact its the most common

[devout sail]

I did ecet too

No negative marks

So u can just pass without even trying

[rustic carbon]

@muted olive but it doesn't make the degree valueable, we don't get hired on basis of it

[cloud osprey]

we dont get hired at all in this job market

[rustic carbon]

so what do you do right now@cloud osprey ?

[cloud osprey]

shenanigans mostly

[rustic carbon]

@cloud osprey what's that?

[hexed quartz]

Talk about something worth discussion

Huh!

Kinda surprised there isn't more for Pop. lol Though I've still had to make tweaks to Pop to get a good experience even though it's supposed to be friendly right out of box
