general

[dusky jacinth]

what IQ test is that from

[sharp shuttle]

one sec chat just grabbing a drink

[dusky jacinth]

Oh I see what he's doing now

[chrome tree]

I think brath broke

[dusky jacinth]

he's gonna post a bunch of mandela effect shit

but more brain fucky

I already have a headache

[chrome tree]

Braths conducting a psyop

[jaunty pulsar]

this is what we call a "system refresh" in the modern days

[sharp shuttle]

while you have the right idea, no, this is not mandella'd. If anything its memory holed for most

[chrome tree]

we're the rats

[dusky jacinth]

it's gonna be a fun night

[loud epoch]

wheres my cup bro wtf

[dusky jacinth]

yeah this is a better explanantion of it

I knew it wasn't "mandela effect specifically, but I couldn't find the right word"

[sharp shuttle]

one moment chat im playing a game with my fellow peers

[dusky jacinth]

classic

[balmy basalt]

Brath, do you have a specific setup to take a bunch of hardware stuff on the go? A the moment I am just tossing a bunch of things in a back back but I've thought about get something more dedicated.

[dusky jacinth]

to bad I knew what shoes you're wearing

[molten bobcat]

Heya brath

Waiting on CDSA exam results still

Wehhh

[dusky jacinth]

You submitted last week right?

[molten bobcat]

Last Thursday yeh

[sharp shuttle]

To be honest, just smaller kits for niche things, but same idea, its very a la carte. I just grab what the job needs

Cloud do you have this freckle

[molten bobcat]

What freckle

[molten bobcat]

I have a tattoo in that area I can't tell 🙁

[sharp shuttle]

You should find out

This is my research topic for today

[molten bobcat]

Wym find out lmao

[sharp shuttle]

Like old photos

[molten bobcat]

Any pigment there is gone lmao

Well.. overwritten I should say

[balmy basalt]

Yeah. I have a smaller kit for my soldering kit and the like. (Though I want to redo that one.) I like having organized stuff but I feel like I am just getting an increasing stack of bags of stuff. 😅

[chrome tree]

I'm trying to figure out what game your at brath lol

[molten bobcat]

Oh he's a goober that's his game

[sharp shuttle]

Yep, i have an entire shelf dedicated to kits for specific things

[chrome tree]

You're testing something and it aint boxes at the moment

[sharp shuttle]

Thats normal

[molten bobcat]

Brath I have philosophy question for you

Actual philosophy

[dusky jacinth]

oh he's likely performing a psycological assesment of the chat

[balmy basalt]

Definitely feels like where I am headed.

[dusky jacinth]

he collects information revealed by individuals he find interesting then uses it to rage bait them

[sharp shuttle]

Sure

[molten bobcat]

Does work quality suffer if you put emotion into it? Or does the opposite occur when you care about your work and thus give it your all?

[sharp shuttle]

I am simply tapping into the consciousness energy grid

[dusky jacinth]

he also uses it to make judgements on others to get a general consensus of the room

and im jk

[chrome tree]

I know, and it's tripping me out a bit. I'm consuming these images trying not to participate but I cant stop lol

[dusky jacinth]

It's so much more fun to participate

[sharp shuttle]

Work quality increases if you put emotion into it, the modern system is designed to be so fruitless it crushes the ability to do so, resulting in feelings of meaninglessness and soul crushing anxiety

[dusky jacinth]

you'll likely figure it out faster

[balmy basalt]

I do like the idea of 3d printing specific cases for certain things though. 👀 Downside, another reason to buy a 3d printer. 🙃

[sharp shuttle]

Its like being stuffed in a box.

[molten bobcat]

I agree

I think passionless work can be spotted immediately

I can tell when someone just does not give a fuck beyond a paycheck

[sharp shuttle]

im printing this right now

[molten bobcat]

Obviously there's boundaries that should be followed to avoid burnout

[sharp shuttle]

You use 3d printer nozzle cleaners for the probes, its a 100 dollar version of a 15k device

[molten bobcat]

But I think overall if you care about your work or can at least hype yourself up to the point where you can accomplish a task with your full heart

I think work quality improves dramatically

[balmy basalt]

Oh.... Yep, this is absolutely the kind of thing I would do.

[sharp shuttle]

I think the current cycle of "work" is incongruent with passion

[molten bobcat]

I agree

[sharp shuttle]

You basically have to be unemployed to enjoy "effort"

[molten bobcat]

It's rare to have a job you like

But now that I've found myself in that scenario I want to make the best of it y'know?

I'm hardly one to take things for granted

[sharp shuttle]

Yep, and I have deep respect for that realization cloud

It is true

[molten bobcat]

I mean I've done it before

So I get it

[sharp shuttle]

I know you have, just stating it for the audience

[molten bobcat]

Yee

Meanwhile I slipped on ice yesterday and pulled my leg 🙁

The one time I try to leave the damn house lmao

[sharp shuttle]

ROUGH

[molten bobcat]

C'est la vie lol

I take break from doing dishes

Too many

[gray wraith]

dont you have like

a dishwasher

[wooden dust]

@vivid flower

I figured out the best device for camping is not a rugged laptop. It use too much space and too heavy.

The best one is the cell phone you have right now. Better to be android.

Can store survival informations, first aid, navigation, offline assistance, e-books, RTL-SDR radio receiver, flash light, 5G WiFi, Settle service. Plus it can have additional feature with external ports such as external thermal camera. I have taken shower while with my phone next to it. It got wet but it works fine. Plus the battery last longer than the rugged devices, and easy to charge with solar portable charger.

[sharp shuttle]

Ya'll really tempting me

[terse dirge]

How to make mead

[vivid flower]

Keser moment

[dusky jacinth]

Okay so throwing away trash is like Sisyphus on modern society

[sharp shuttle]

this is ironically an iq test, also unironically

[dusky jacinth]

Higher IQ higher universal perception and understanding

Mind imagery is represented by the apple

[vivid flower]

I feel kinda bad for tifaret

🫂

[sharp shuttle]

there is no better way to express that modality than with throwing away your own trash/picking up your environment

[molten bobcat]

thanks

[dusky jacinth]

I love how it gets more intellectually complex as you read it left or right

[sharp shuttle]

its not done, im adding symbols in each column

[vivid flower]

I disagree but im a qabalist

[sharp shuttle]

is this not a good representation of kabbalah?

[molten bobcat]

every video game company is in here

[vivid flower]

I mean half the fun of the qabalah is mapping things on it

[dusky jacinth]

The image on the right. I know it’s a paining of some kind but I can remember which one

[sharp shuttle]

each node is a latent power of the soul

[dusky jacinth]

Holy shit

[vivid flower]

Do you know about the three pillars

[dusky jacinth]

It’s the Kabbalah

[sharp shuttle]

im fully aware of the entire esoterica on the sefirot

[dusky jacinth]

You just fucking recreated the Kabbalah and thought I wouldn’t notice

[vivid flower]

To me tipareth is a kind of beauty that emerges out of the reconciliation of opposites

[dusky jacinth]

I can’t believe it tool me that long to see it LOL

[vivid flower]

As you go down the tree the proportion of masculine and feminine is not uniform, it criss crosses as you get nearer to the bottom

[sharp shuttle]

i was initially going to do an inverted hermeneutic to poke fun at cyber security people

[dusky jacinth]

Valid

[bleak palm]

Good evening sars I am become hacker

[sharp shuttle]

i personally think the pillars are less important to the mapping of this symbol

the nested version is a better representation

but its impossible to meme that one

[vivid flower]

It is a comfy graphic

[sharp shuttle]

just need to put more symbols all over it

[molten bobcat]

i have a symbol suggestion

[sharp shuttle]

yes i am happy to add whatever

[bleak palm]

where is hitting the gym in the guide

[bleak palm]

hackers need to be more chad and less soy

add that symbol

[sharp shuttle]

im too fat to give that advice

seek help from steroid users

[bleak palm]

can turn that into mass

[bleak palm]

steroid users will go bye bye soon it's a self-fixing problem

that meme is kinda what i just made

ahhh shit i missed the basic ones

[vivid flower]

Im at the stag now

[rich radish]

Wait whats the bottom tier

[sharp shuttle]

those are fundamentally true symbols with advanced meaning

some of them you really dont wanna know

[rich radish]

I recognize rhe illuminati tier

I dont know the last one

I wanna know please

[dusky jacinth]

Last tier is wage they symbolize

Like bees mean cooperation

And community

[bleak palm]

you cause youre a bottom

[rich radish]

Thats kinda cringe

[rich radish]

Shut up homophobe

[dusky jacinth]

Lol

[vivid flower]

They do but its also single mindedness. The vatican places a lot of emphasis on the bee

[rich radish]

You know gays are more smarter than straight ppl right

My iq was tested at 155

[bleak palm]

seems low for how gay you are

[vivid flower]

How a bee is part of a whole and sees itself as part of a hivemind

[dusky jacinth]

Yeah

[rich radish]

What about the rainbow

[bleak palm]

bnee makes honey and vatican likes children like bees like honey

[bleak palm]

where is the hack the box module where my dad gives me a job at the cybersec company

[dusky jacinth]

You have to have a Dad first

Then learn to pentest

And boom

Nepo baby

[sharp shuttle]

Who loves you

[half comet]

You have to have been born in a specific zip code to qualify for that.

[dusky jacinth]

This is crucial

[bleak palm]

Hmmm

Gay people have a high chance of having 2 dads

double chance

this strat can be exploited

[half comet]

wym by that?

[sharp shuttle]

He thinks hes clever

[bleak palm]

Break family a part, hook up both dads with an other dad, now you have 4 dads

4x chance to get cybersec job

oh idk

[bleak palm]

Kerberos

[half comet]

I have already done as-reproasting, kerberoasting, RBCD and Constrained delegation. so i will only get a little bit of value

[bleak palm]

I don't think anyone actually hacks here so they don't know

[half comet]

rouugh lol. I think will ask in the cert channel then.

[dusky jacinth]

I always find certificate stuff tricky that’s why I said ADCS

But also maybe win evasion?

[alpine pumice]

all of them tbh

[bleak palm]

@alpine pumice Mind if I DM you, sar?

[bleak palm]

[sharp shuttle]

Your iq has been determined and slotted into a convolutional neural network for future reference

[bleak palm]

How many cubes for that, sar?

[sharp shuttle]

It doesnt matter because at this rate you will be banned and lost to /dev/null/ section of my brain where i put people that never earned my respect

[alpine pumice]

What is the nature of the issue

[bleak palm]

It's alright. I got my bro on it

Thanks though

We go WAY back

I'm actually a shadow admin here

[half comet]

I plan on doing all of them, but i dont have the money for all of them right now.

[alpine pumice]

it's a tough decision. dacl2 was great, ad cs was great. win lat movement was actually pretty tough.

cme will make windows ez

[half comet]

cs?

[alpine pumice]

ad cs

[half comet]

dude yeah i love the cme one

[alpine pumice]

certificate services

[half comet]

I actually looked at a bunch of the CME one and it GENUINELY helped me significantly with the OSCP+

[alpine pumice]

yeah it's like cheating

[half comet]

for real.

I compromised the entire AD portion of OSCP+ in less than 2 hours

I think i should play to my weaknesses and do the powerview one

[alpine pumice]

it helped me on cpts

[half comet]

i wish i had done it before the CPTS

[alpine pumice]

i used it as much as i could

[half comet]

This is what i relied on for the CPTS https://github.com/seriotonctf/cme-nxc-cheat-sheet

its not as great as the CME module but its pretty good

[dusky jacinth]

I read someone said this online as well

I’m gonna get it before I take the test fs then

@mental shell Yoo I am trying to dm you

But why did you do that

Bold

[terse dirge]

Had to see what the hype is about

[dusky jacinth]

You didn’t

You already use kubernetes

You didn’t have to

[alpine pumice]

i don't think there is any hype around riding around in waymos

[sharp shuttle]

the hype is that its a free car if you have a lime sdr and some torus patterned gps jammers

[rich radish]

astral projection??

sisyphus???

I'm thinking of getting CPTS by the end of this year.

Zumi, how long did it take to finish CPTS for you?

It's definitely not gonna take 43 days like htb said.

Hmm... Reasonable period

Mhm

I'll take 6-7 months more or less

It's my first cyber cert, sighh

A shitty hotel! 🔥🔥

Yessir! Homeless people sleeping on the property, the bathroom being the cleanest part of the room!

No joke the bathroom was spotless

[muted olive]

I thought people book rooms in casinos

[terse dirge]

The casino is on the bottom floor of the hotel

[mossy swift]

Random question, Could you write a client level report on a pro-lab and present it to a penetration tester team like how you would with an actual client engagement defining ROE and scope etc

[terse dirge]

Yes very trashy hotel (it was quite nice)

[turbid goblet]

😉

[mossy swift]

Ty goat

[terse dirge]

I'm glad the bed doesn't have bed bugs

[mossy swift]

I guess it would just to prove you understand how to actively engage and pivot around networks and write a good report.

Instead of just boxes that are ctf

For airgap networks aren’t they only compromisable through internal access?

Oh ye, their are many steps to the process Id say maintaining healthy relationships and trust is almost more important but im not a pentester so I couldn’t say 😅

By chance do you have some pentesting certs?

I was just wondering if you could provide some guidance

Im finishing up net+ and az hopefully soon etc etc, Ive been heavily debating on a cert path to help build me technically and well rounded.

Im debating between pjpt and ejpt

Then 2nd part to the question would be, how would you recommend I go about this path in order.

Pjpt
PNPT
CPTS
OSCP

Its bit unstructured forgive me, I just didn’t want to make it super long

Id say im super beginner

[tired haven]

would you guys say htb or thm is more hands on

[mossy swift]

Htb

All 3? Or should I decide between ejpt and pjpt

[dusky jacinth]

I’m a super beginner

I went straight into CPTS

[mossy swift]

Bro what 😭😭😭

[dusky jacinth]

It’s not that hard

[mossy swift]

How did you study for it?

[dusky jacinth]

You study the material

[mossy swift]

You pass?

[dusky jacinth]

And practice

[dusky jacinth]

Still working on it should finish the path this month

Zumi has OSCP tho

[mossy swift]

Ye thats legit me rn

[dusky jacinth]

Gotta do whatcha gotta do

[mossy swift]

Mmm im just debating to start with pjpt or straight up go for cpts

[dusky jacinth]

Just go straight CPTS

If you have 0 fundamentals then ig pjpt

Idk tho

Ejpt *

[mossy swift]

Im scared is the problem

[turbid goblet]

ejpt is easy

[mossy swift]

Because I can’t even fully blind easy boxes granted I just started

[turbid goblet]

i was really scared of ejpt then was like oh..

[mossy swift]

Is it like starting point?

On htb

[turbid goblet]

i only done some of starting point so idk

[mossy swift]

So ig pjpt-pnpt-cpts could be a cool path

[dusky jacinth]

Or

Just do it

Do it even though you’re scared

[mossy swift]

Do what

[dusky jacinth]

You’re the only one in your way

Get CPTS

Don’t put unnecessary middle men in the way

[warped plank]

Says the guy without CPTS

go get CPTS first before telling people to get it.

[dusky jacinth]

Still doing it

[turbid goblet]

kek

[dusky jacinth]

He’s only talking about maybe doing it

[warped plank]

I wouldn't wish that trauma on anyone who isn't completely willing to lose their minds over the exam.

[dusky jacinth]

Well to be great you gotta be a lil crazy

[mossy swift]

Is it actually that bad?

[turbid goblet]

isnt losing your mind during hacking the fun part?

[mossy swift]

Absolutely

[warped plank]

It's kind of a rollercoaster, you'll be like: oh this isn't so bad... until you can't find the first flag and it's been two days and you think you've tried everything... then you finally find it... the next few are a bit easy and then you get lost again on flag 5, then again on flags 8 and 9. And just to taunt you flag 12 is deceptively simple but you can easily miss it.

[mossy swift]

That sounds fun I rly wish the cert is more hr recognized

It deserves it

[mossy swift]

Do you have a recommendation cert path by chance?

[warped plank]

Also when I did it I was short 1 flag for my first attempt and got feedback less than 24 hours, which if you didn't know, starts the clock for a re-take for 2 weeks rather than what I've been expecting which was to get a full month to review...

[mossy swift]

Im cooked then 😭😭

[mossy swift]

So don’t ask for review until you are ready

Or you have to in 2 weeks

[turbid goblet]

did u guys like take off for a week just for the cert?

[dusky jacinth]

you get graded within 20 business days

[warped plank]

You can't choose when they give you feedback

[turbid goblet]

ah

[warped plank]

cos the moment you submit there's usually a 20 day period to get feedback, just so happens I got mine in less than 24 hours

[mossy swift]

What level of boxes could you solve blindly, just gauging obv not a 1:1

Like 0 walkthroughs no help at all

[warped plank]

I'll be honest, parts of the exam feel like an insane machine, while other parts feel very easy.

[mossy swift]

😭😭

[mossy swift]

Would you recommend any pentesting certs before cpts if so which ones?

[warped plank]

Difference is the exam is only 10 days... I can't even do a hard machine on my own in 10 days

[mossy swift]

Then how do you get good enough to pass the exam?

[warped plank]

I recommend doing the official HTB track for the exam preparation (blind as much as possible), fair warning: there is an insane machine in it

[mossy swift]

Will do 🫡

Also you recommend any certs before it?

Pentesting certs

AEN?

[warped plank]

Personally recommend CJCA if you don't know much about pentesting or IT in general

[turbid goblet]

is there av on cpts

o

[mossy swift]

I currently have sec+ and hopefully pass net+ next week as well az-900

But really want them hands on pentesting certs just to start building them skill

[sharp shuttle]

kinetic force

[warped plank]

Yeah no clue about those certs

since I don't have em

[sharp shuttle]

yeah if you could booby trap the firmware thats a huge W

[mossy swift]

CompTIA certs?

[sharp shuttle]

fiber optics is based on light

[mossy swift]

The most braindead conceptual certs

😅

[sharp shuttle]

well...

technically, you intercepted the cable, you could... but at that point, just cut it

[warped plank]

Compt who~?

[mossy swift]

Do you live in America?

Lol

[warped plank]

Nope

[mossy swift]

Ahh explains it

[sharp shuttle]

It would need to enter the fiber optics at a angle that would either fuse (distort) or replace the current signals

[mossy swift]

One of the biggest cert companies here for foundational certs

[sharp shuttle]

The reality is that the greatest counter to FPV drones is blinding them

[mossy swift]

This guy is funny asf

😭😭

[sharp shuttle]

dazzlers are extremely cheap and easy to make

but as we know

its cat and mouse

they will just put filters on the cameras

im pretty confident the solution is just going to be bigger drones

and liquid antennas

at a certain point, jamming will be innefective

[mossy swift]

Dude every pentester ive ever know has been in the military

I actually have 0 hope

[sharp shuttle]

and we can go back to antennas, which is simply better

but liquid antenna tech isnt scalable yet

[mossy swift]

Phew

[sharp shuttle]

every pentester you knew was israeli?

[sharp shuttle]

liquid antennas change their shape extremely fast

[molten bobcat]

hello

[mossy swift]

Wellll I got such a mix answer on my question

Lol

[sharp shuttle]

if you are constantly changing frequencies getting jammed is not feasible, and now you can have massive range

the fiber fpv's are limited by range

[mossy swift]

Hey cloud

[sharp shuttle]

jamming has to match the frequency its jamming

right but now apply that to an antenna that grows longer and shorts extremely fast

now we are moving channels, bands, and entire frequency spectrums

three dimensional signal modulation

uhh what are you not getting

if a drone can hop between 900mhz and 2.4ghz and 5.8ghz and 415mhz on whim, that makes jamming hard as shit

exposes your position

[terse dirge]

@frosty thistle there's a talk at cactuscon on a yubikey worm

[sharp shuttle]

send liquid antenna drone to destroy jammer

you know there are missiled too that just straight up go into a jammer azimuth and fly perfectly into them right?

its an electromagnetic wave

changing the shape in any way affects it extremely

do you know how spiral antennas work?

radiation patterns are extremely cool

if you change it, a jammer can be ineffective

broski its extremely difficult

i assume youve used sigdigger or gnuradio right?

yeah man... demodulating, then de-whitening alone is rough work

and when you are dealing with >ghz signals its pain

you would be so lucky to have a good iq

idk people think rf hacking is like wifi hacking

give somebody an iq with 4 channels FHSS and watch them collapse

10 minutes and it was a gig???

bro

10 seconds is a gig

20e6 or bust

anything less is basically garbage

[meager kernel]

[sharp shuttle]

its a plane protocol, it has to go forever

it makes sense why you would be able to sniff for 10 minutes

[meager kernel]

Hello

[west venture]

You're back

[sharp shuttle]

@frosty thistle just wanted to show you this one

I think this is the coolest shit ever

2009, who knows what we have now

[terse dirge]

Already enrolled into the cactuscon CTF! 🔥🔥 GL everyone that's participating

[half comet]

oh i just realized you were stating your own opinion. I misread. I thought you were asking if it was possible to do the ad part of the exam with just netexec

[frozen patio]

heyo people

wsg

[silver forge]

hmm based on that the human blood should also function as antenna

[mossy swift]

what does the 18 a month provide then 😅

[frail turtle]

the end.

[mossy swift]

huh?

[elder sinew]

cubes ig

[torn cedar]

It provides a certain amount of cubes a month that's about it

[sharp shuttle]

Does academy cost money to access now?

[mossy swift]

like rn im a student but it would not give me tier 2 or nothing?

[frail turtle]

it...always did brathadair

[mossy swift]

I just thought student was discounted 10 dollars

[torn cedar]

If you're a student you'll get tier 1 and 2s, not tier 3+ though

[mossy swift]

ye but like say im not student anymore will it just go to 18 a month and I keep all those benefits?

[torn cedar]

Yeah it's been pay gated for a year at least when I first touched the academy it's always needed $$$

[sharp shuttle]

I see

I guess I didnt realize that

[elder sinew]

?? there is some free content

[torn cedar]

No, I don't believe so, but ask the support team.

[elder sinew]

i mean not a lot, but its there

[torn cedar]

True some

[frail turtle]

once you pay for a course you keep it forever

[mossy swift]

which channel should I ask in?

[sharp shuttle]

Its content for people who are more incompetent than a league of legends minion though

[mossy swift]

but that is a monthly one

[torn cedar]

@warped plank do ur job

[elder sinew]

well

[warped plank]

All the tier 0 modules are free as long as you finish em you get your cubes back

[elder sinew]

lol

[warped plank]

I've been doing that for 40 hours already this week, and I still have 12 hours to go over the weekend...

[frail turtle]

It doesnt say it on there but you get i think like 500 cubes a month to spend a la carte, once you pay the cubes you get the course forever

[torn cedar]

We can buy you a robot from temu ❤️

[elder sinew]

the academy pricing is lowkey really confusing

monthly vs annual vs cubes i mean

[warped plank]

Cant wait to have chinese spyware that breaks after the first week but still calls home

[silk pasture]

yo guys, how to get hacker rank

[dusky jacinth]

Active machines

And challenges

Sherlock’s too

[warped plank]

All I know is student sub is best

[mossy swift]

mmm yr

ye

[elder sinew]

yeah its honestly a steal

[mossy swift]

guess worth to do cpts while in college soon then

[warped plank]

Sherlocks dont contribute to rank...

[silk pasture]

oh so, i got a student subscription

machines are included right

[elder sinew]

r there any plans to change that???

or ig ur just a mod so you wouldnt know right?

[mossy swift]

no

[silk pasture]

[elder sinew]

machines r free tho

active ones

[silk pasture]

oh okok

[warped plank]

As they keep saying: Soon ™

[elder sinew]

i dont even do sherlocks lol

i just like the idea of it being balanced between offensive and defensive

[warped plank]

Active machines do help gaining rank.

[silk pasture]

so when do they get retired?

[warped plank]

Imo they should be separate, there should be a leaderboard yeah but maybe separate and even maybe separate ranks.

[warped plank]

Depends on the machine, usually though it's a few months and you lose the points once it's retired

[silk pasture]

dang

[elder sinew]

indeed. although having combined could also be cool but i dont think people would like that since its been offensive focused for so long

[warped plank]

Doing all the active machines only gets you half-way through pro-hacker btw, gotta do challenges to get elite and above.

[warped plank]

It wouldn't be fair because majority of the content is offensive

[mossy swift]

sooo like they gonna fix the leaderboard for htb 😭

[warped plank]

Soon ™

[elder sinew]

oops i meant like for seasonal

[sharp shuttle]

Why do you care about the leaderboard?

[elder sinew]

and seasonal challenges as well that would be sick

but idk how they would even do that

[warped plank]

Still more offensive content

[mossy swift]

its cool to look at and gain inspiration from

[elder sinew]

?? isnt there a sherlock weekly just like challenges?

[warped plank]

Sherlocks are all just the challenges but offensive has machines and challenges

[elder sinew]

oh ye fair enough

[sharp shuttle]

Im not sure if you are just young but just about every leaderboard to ever exist is populated with majority cheaters

[west venture]

You're back

[mossy swift]

ye ik, wish that wasn't the case.

[sharp shuttle]

I do too, im just suggesting that caring about that stuff is only a shared thought between cheaters

[mossy swift]

I can see how you cheat like time but how do you cheat bloods other then insider info

[sharp shuttle]

Nobody cares

Bloods have been cheated

Yes, insider information

[elder sinew]

wait what?

damn

im guessing thats impossible to prove?

[warped plank]

Wouldn't be surprised if that happened ngl.

[sharp shuttle]

2026 still pikachu faces when people are deceptive for personal gain, fame, and power

[dusky jacinth]

Then not Sherlock’s first

[west venture]

why would you cheat in chess?

[warped plank]

Not impossible just extremely impractical

[sharp shuttle]

Why wouldn't you?

[west venture]

Because it's not fun

[mossy swift]

is there a way to combat cheaters like

[elder sinew]

it is fun for a little bit

[sharp shuttle]

No

[mossy swift]

idk the methods they use to cheat

[west venture]

How?

[elder sinew]

destroying people is entertaining

[warped plank]

Not completely

[sharp shuttle]

And htb wouldnt care, we just have to accept it

[elder sinew]

but theres no satisfaction in it

[sharp shuttle]

Its business baby

[west venture]

You aren't destroying nobody bro 😭

[elder sinew]

because deep down you know you're cheating

[elder sinew]

i cant... but stockfish can

[west venture]

Yeah and?

[elder sinew]

not saying i cheat just pointing out how it could be fun

bruh

makes u feel powerful

[sharp shuttle]

Playing games that have no random elements is simply not fun anymore

[warped plank]

https://tenor.com/view/sussy-cant-prove-it-dexter-meme-watching-you-gif-9798020366711361227

[west venture]

That's so pathetic that you feel powerful when you get stockfish to play for you

https://tenor.com/view/hotd-house-of-the-dragon-obcrack-hotd-rhaenyra-targaryen-rhaenyra-gif-18299799426202884609

[elder sinew]

like i said... not me

i dont even play chess

[mossy swift]

well all I can do is become the best I can become using the platform

[elder sinew]

😭

[sharp shuttle]

Yes, thats the right attitude

[elder sinew]

but that is why people cheat

[mossy swift]

top 100 is achievable legit

[frail turtle]

I am deadass feeling like I live in this picture

[sharp shuttle]

Adored I havent done a box worth points in like 3 years and im still top 1000

guess who cares

nobody

rank means nothing

[mossy swift]

lol

im not seeking valdation

its just a personal goal

[sharp shuttle]

in fact its more of an indicator of someone who knows nothing

like paint

[cloud osprey]

same and they finally took away my top 10 discord badge

[west venture]

So am I top 1000 then?

[sharp shuttle]

Idk you tell me

[mossy swift]

ohhh you talking about gloabal leaderboard

[west venture]

I have done a box within 3 months

[mossy swift]

I only care for seasonal

[sharp shuttle]

That is the cheater board...

[frail turtle]

oh yeah last time i tried to talk to you on here i was rudely silenced for an hour

[west venture]

What why?

[sharp shuttle]

Bro you need to put some sock puppets in telegram. The day the box is solved the writeup is passed around.

[mossy swift]

well my prev point stands top 100 on that is achievable legit

[mossy swift]

this is true

[sharp shuttle]

Why do you think i dont play seasonal?

you are all cheating

lol

[west venture]

lol you we are all not cheating

[frail turtle]

like you were talking about trying to cheat using AI on interviews, there was this guy who posted a leak from the website i think it's called interview.ai

[mossy swift]

but also again I don't care whats going on just a personal goal to slove machines during the szn

[frail turtle]

or something but there was a recent leak about it and a lot of people lost their jobs

[west venture]

Oh

[sharp shuttle]

If you are not using the write up you are using ai, you are cheating, yourself, your peers, and your career

[muted olive]

Everyone is top 1000

[west venture]

So why were you silenced

[sharp shuttle]

so yes, you are all cheating

[cloud osprey]

typically i look for bloods to validate people

[warped plank]

I find it extremely funny when a guy asks for help and says the writeup isn't working... little do they know they've been following a writeup that's been AI generated

IYKYK

[mossy swift]

see

[frail turtle]

I got silenced for accidentally sending a message with a text - link or whatever you call a url that's been masked with words I sent it by accident youtube has a copy thing

[west venture]

In that logic googling is also cheating, no we should all be born with the utmost knowledge about everything, so we gain the ability to complete boxes on our own.

[frail turtle]

the silence was for one hour but the youtube video showed a coding jesus video on the topic

[muted olive]

AI is objectively worse, it'll hallucinate shit that doesn't exist and lead you down a large fucking rabbit hole lol

[mossy swift]

well depending on how you use ai, id say to help with cve compiling and command help then nah

[muted olive]

Part of why I solve it myself

[west venture]

Oh

[sharp shuttle]

In what way is googling (the old way, the way I learned) the same as dorkGPT giving you literal exploit code

[warped plank]

Personally just use it to generate payloads. Tryna get AI to find the path is like the blind leading the blind

[mossy swift]

nah 100%

its so shit

[frail turtle]

I think using AI is okay I don't have a problem with it.

[west venture]

Old way > I copy and paste exploit code from GitHub.

New way > I copy and paste exploit code from AI

[mossy swift]

I just use it for command help time to time

[muted olive]

i use it to understand something. like "why is this setting enabled here and how can it be used" etc

[dusky jacinth]

Except the code from GitHub usually works

[muted olive]

otherwise, I am able to figure out MOST stuff

[sharp shuttle]

oh my sweet summer child github didnt even exist.

[muted olive]

from most boxes

[frail turtle]

not for interviews though; like to solve an interview question

[warped plank]

I tried once and it hallucinated an entire attack vector. Was entertaining as hell

[frail turtle]

because like use it responsibly would be the better word

[west venture]

https://tenor.com/view/summer-child-my-sweet-summer-child-old-nan-game-of-thrones-gif-5580217

[frail turtle]

like dont use it to cheat but use it to abuse idk how else to explain it

[dusky jacinth]

O I get ya

[mossy swift]

its only good for command help and code help, we have a good while before it can replicate full pentest

[sharp beacon]

ai only as good as the operator

[sharp shuttle]

Many of you yunc dont even know what stackoverflow was, or how awful it was to deal with those people (though they were right)

[mossy swift]

lets go boys we keep our jobs for another day

[sharp shuttle]

ai has made us weaker defenders

[dusky jacinth]

Don’t know stack overflow is nuts

Imagine

I haven’t had to spend much time on it

[west venture]

Stack overflow is useless asf. The first time I used it I asked a question and got into a 3 day long argument with 10 guys

[dusky jacinth]

But it’s always interesting to think about how all these tools I have didn’t exist at some point and people figured it out still

[frail turtle]

let's put it out there though, if you assign an anonymous function to a variable there's something clinically and psychologically wrong with you.

[warped plank]

Oh God stack overflow, I remember having tech issues so obscure but stack overflow having that one guy with the same issue and an anonymous contributor giving the solution.

[sharp shuttle]

Just 8 years ago you still had to read, and most things didnt have documentation still

[dusky jacinth]

Pretty inspirational stuff

[mossy swift]

cybersecurity was dogshit 8 years ago

like utter trash

[sharp shuttle]

It was the best

[dusky jacinth]

All tech was Brodie

All tech is always garbage forever

[muted olive]

too lazy to read documentation
asks AI
AI hallucinates bs
leads you down rabbit hole
realizes it when something that was supposed to work doesn't work
doesn't work
wonders why
reads documentation
OHHHHHHH

average AI experience

[west venture]

And 8 years from now, information will be directly transferred to your brain. No reading, no listening, no studying required. Deal with it.

[sharp shuttle]

Pentesting is BORING now

[dusky jacinth]

It’s only cool when it’s new

[silk pasture]

whats the overall state of cybersecurity job market rn for pentesters

[sharp shuttle]

It used to be amazing

[mossy swift]

you could just use defualt creds and it work 90% of the time into a backend admin site

[dusky jacinth]

I wouldn’t know about any of that

[sharp shuttle]

I dont have the heart to tell you

[silk pasture]

man..

[frail turtle]

😂 THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS TO ME

down to the letter

https://tenor.com/view/saucerswap-larry-defi-crypto-hbar-gif-26791945

[muted olive]

Which is why I stopped using AI for that kind of stuff a while ago

[silk pasture]

wait why, i wanna get into it

[dusky jacinth]

Listen if they wanted me to read documentation then they’d make it like a Lego manual

[sharp shuttle]

There is no bite in any of this ethical work, just understand that. years pass and the same company you do annual pentests for has fixed absolutely nothing

[dusky jacinth]

That’s all I have to say

[west venture]

Well you can yk sell some databases, do some fishing, get some usernames/passwords and sell them, you could build a botnet and and mine Bitcoin....

Yk it's not all bad there are some gigs you can do for yourself

[mossy swift]

you can, just don't expect it to be your first role

[frail turtle]

I'm not interested in ethical hacking anymore. if I go back im not gonna be ethical.

[mossy swift]

as long as I get paid for reporting the same shit who cares 😭

[dusky jacinth]

You will

[sharp shuttle]

It kills your souls

[dusky jacinth]

Demoralization is just logical

[mossy swift]

😂

[dusky jacinth]

Repetition

[muted olive]

I'm just focusing a lot more on 0 day research these days, and to quote McDonalds, I'm lovin' it. ESPECIALLY because AI is pretty much useless, or at best, slightly helpful in this area.

[dusky jacinth]

Lack of challenge

[silk pasture]

then why pentesters even exist

[dusky jacinth]

Or lack of real engagement to perform from some stories I’ve heatd

[west venture]

Brath have you tried being a cyber criminal?

[mossy swift]

dude

[sharp shuttle]

No idea, and im not even joking

[sharp shuttle]

Who knows

[dusky jacinth]

Cause if they didn’t pay us we’d go back to doing it anyway

[silk pasture]

then whats it gonna be

[frail turtle]

like what's the point of being ethical, like all employers want to do is test you, but then they give you like 5 interview rounds, when you have a belt lined with bloods.

[warped plank]

Thats why platforms like HTB exist, to give those who want a real challenge a real challenge

[silk pasture]

somehting like soc analyst?

[sharp shuttle]

HR doesnt know what a blood is

[dusky jacinth]

That’s just based of my understanding of hacker history back to the blue and black box days

[mossy swift]

he is being overexaggerated but it has some merit to it

[mossy swift]

thats not for me to decide

it could be help desk

[muted olive]

It's a vital connective tissue that flows through our bodies

[dusky jacinth]

Yeah, something about it just feels fake yknow?

Idk

[mossy swift]

you could slave away at tickets as user forget to turn on a monitor

[dusky jacinth]

HTB isn’t a bad platform

[warped plank]

Well of course it feels fake it is fake. Still pretty close to the real deal

[dusky jacinth]

But sometimes I try to like logically think through how something might work on a box and I feel like I get left sided just cause it’s a challenge

[sharp shuttle]

HTB is the best one currently.

[dusky jacinth]

Which I get

[west venture]

HTB is not challenging or rewarding bc in ethical hacking, you have the adrenaline of earning money, so you can go through the pain of actually hacking.

In unethical hacking, you have the adrenaline of having control.

I'm HTB boxes you don't have anything

[frail turtle]

im learning backend just to attempt to in the future eventually become a better hacker idk why it's just my brain

[mossy swift]

I just had my 2nd one hoping it was the last

[dusky jacinth]

Not really complaining, I don’t mind it personally

It’s like a video game

[sharp shuttle]

Its only natural for you kids to wanna be black hat

[mossy swift]

they gonna be like round 3 and time for you to present us a full project, then we will assess

[warped plank]

Idk bout you but I still have adrenaline when I make the box do a funny

[sharp shuttle]

I dont blame you

[dusky jacinth]

But I see why some, especially those who have spent most of their time doing irl hacking could find CTFs obnoxious

[frail turtle]

what project that doesnt make any sense, do they want proof that you broke into a bank?

[mossy swift]

its simply not that hard to stay ethical

[frail turtle]

jk of course lol

[sharp shuttle]

I think ctfs are a waste of time if your goal is professional gain

They are great for fun

[silk pasture]

dont they help to get an interview

[mossy swift]

😭 man they want me to overhaul their entire network infrastructure

[dusky jacinth]

I mean I feel like I definitely learn a lot from them

[sharp shuttle]

How would they?

[dusky jacinth]

But I als understand all real operational things I’ll learn on the job

[mossy swift]

nah im going for EDR Security Analyst rn @frail turtle

[west venture]

But then, I am currently farming, so I am not worried about AI destroying jobs in the field.

[warped plank]

Certs and projects mate, the only CTFs that help in getting interviews are programming ones and that's for software engineering roles

[silk pasture]

shows that someone has some experience in the field, no?

[frail turtle]

gotcha; best of luck with that man. round 2 is just gonna lead into round 3

[mossy swift]

woah I disagree with this

[sharp shuttle]

DERR helllo dumbdumb boomer guy interviewing me guess what i just did i placed 2nd in the googgoogAIgAI ctf 2026, issnt that coooool dude!!!! right booomieee

[mossy swift]

you can learn techniques from htb ctfs

[silk pasture]

got it

[frail turtle]

But I've decided i dont want a job in cybersecurity. I want a job in programming instead.

[dusky jacinth]

Well you’re most likely better off pursuing Zero days for professional gain

Bug bounty

Idk tho

[mossy swift]

obv you need to go further than that but like its a good start for fundamentals

[west venture]

You should do a job in farming

[frail turtle]

do i look like a yeoman?

[west venture]

Honestly

Yes

[frail turtle]

[mossy swift]

I hope not manger did not mention a round 3

my first round was technical round with the team which was like 8 ppl, and before they ended they said if I made it I would have another interview

[west venture]

@sharp shuttle are you 80?

[dusky jacinth]

Been trying to get Grok to do Facts

[sharp shuttle]

Serious question, but whens the last time any of you guys who have been learning for the past 2-4 years gotten a job in this industry?

I feel like nobody here is growing, and coming back its even more evident

[mossy swift]

he gotta be rage baiting

[dusky jacinth]

Too inebriated to do it

[sharp shuttle]

Close!

[dusky jacinth]

Well I haven’t even been in tech that long sooo

[mossy swift]

🖐️

[west venture]

Idk bc he keeps calling everyone, "kid" it was only a logical assumption

[sharp shuttle]

I call everyone a kid

[dusky jacinth]

He’s like 28

He’s not that old

[sharp shuttle]

Im a kid

you dont know shit until you are 40

[frail turtle]

it's too difficult to get a job in cyber like you have to start from something else is what I get from hearing how people broke into it.

[mossy swift]

he has an intresting outlook ill say that

[silk pasture]

idk i started a week ago

[dusky jacinth]

Probably real

I wouldn’t know

I’m only halfway there

[mossy swift]

😪

[sharp shuttle]

Why do you want to do this?

[dusky jacinth]

Or your a nepo baby

1 or the other

[frail turtle]

like who was it i dont remember who but someone really well known here with a high rank doesnt even do cyber as a job he is aphp dev

[muted olive]

Haven't gotten a job because don't require one yet, but growing absolutely (is what I think anyway)

[dusky jacinth]

Sparkling I believe

[frail turtle]

yeah i think it was sparkling

[silk pasture]

i feel like this is the only field that got me interested, like i cant see myself doing medical stuff

[mossy swift]

shiiiiit I hope I get this offer for EDR soon

would be dope

to be my break in

[silk pasture]

and ik some networking base so its lowk interesting

[frail turtle]

are you good?

[sharp shuttle]

So your motivation is money?

[dusky jacinth]

Honestly, do you even care

[west venture]

Well... At least I can hack things and that brings me joy

[sharp shuttle]

I do

[silk pasture]

ofc unc

[dusky jacinth]

Ngl dude you’re kinda kill the mood central

[sharp shuttle]

Then you wont do well

[dusky jacinth]

You just shit on it 24/7

[muted olive]

Yeah, then no

[silk pasture]

fah

[dusky jacinth]

I love you man I think you’re cool

[silk pasture]

i mean

[dusky jacinth]

But damn bro

[silk pasture]

not only money tho

[dusky jacinth]

I just wanna get good at this

Sometimes you make that sound like a son

[sharp shuttle]

Im sorry you feel that way tiem

[warped plank]

Imagine going into cyber for the money

[dusky jacinth]

Sin*

[mossy swift]

ye thats terrible motivation

[dusky jacinth]

Don’t be sorry for my feelings

[frail turtle]

yeah this is not something you get into with a monetary gain in mind like you know how many CTF you have to do before you even

like

you gotta have a greater interest in enjoying it

[west venture]

Yeah

[frail turtle]

I still remember that one machine

[muted olive]

linkedin thought leader mode booting up

[warped plank]

Ngl all the money in cyber is tied up right now between NVIDIA and all the LLM companies claiming they gonna make AGI

[frail turtle]

i did with certificates

drove me nuts

[mossy swift]

we love AI

[frail turtle]

because I didn't realize there was a timing thing going on

[muted olive]

time skew?

[sharp shuttle]

Im not going to validate people and enable them wasting time and money in something that requires good faith practitioners, so if you think im being harsh - yes thats the point.

[frail turtle]

no like you had to change a file that had weak permissions using certipy

[dusky jacinth]

I feel like CTFs are definitely the new best way to get into “hacking”, but that’s cause I don’t see any other ways that a newbie could get into

Though at the same time

[frail turtle]

but you had to do it within 3 min

[sharp shuttle]

I wouldnt hire someone in this for the money

[west venture]

And just don't stick to CTFs yk. Get some idk embedded systems like routers, smart TVs etc and try to hack them, or get shells on them. Even stuff like locked phones.

CTFs are meant to be exploited. Try and exploit something that's not meant to be exploited..

[dusky jacinth]

Hacking isn’t a newbie thing

[frail turtle]

otherwise it resets

[muted olive]

What's a good faith practitioner? (I'm curious)

[mossy swift]

taking down the federal gov (A JOKE BTW)

[dusky jacinth]

lol

[sharp shuttle]

Someone who wants to make the world better

[muted olive]

https://tenor.com/4Bne.gif

[warped plank]

A person who practices something in good faith, think like someone who treats it like a craft rather than a trade

[west venture]

Are you one of them?

[muted olive]

Yeah, that's seen a lot less in most learners from what I've observed

It's either money or looking cool

[sharp shuttle]

My entire conviction and moral standing is on my integrity for this industry.

[frail turtle]

but yeah you actually have to have a greater interest in hacking than money kinda like the joker from the christian bale batman movie

[muted olive]

most new learners*

[west venture]

Because making the world a better place is literally impossible

[frail turtle]
