I have a seal screaming meme that would have been an amazing response.... but that cannot be posted in fine company 
Youd die before you feel anything
It alters time.
Yeah which is cool
"before you feel anything" is not something we can count on here
from my understanding black hole is just a dead star...technically a large blob of iron
So if you don't die you get to see some crazy shit
so if you were to come in contact with it you'd go splat
No
It alters deez nuts too
does feeling matter anyway when you die?
Either that or it does kill you, it just takes an infinite amount of time to do so as your perception is dropped into nothing?
I think I'm good
I think you just get fat when you enter one
or you become the blackhole
Be blackhole my friend
You become radioactive
actually i think i know
You could make a black hole
when you enter a black hole you go to a world where workers dont press on phishing emails
If you compress the earth to like a size of a penny you'd make your own diy black hole which is worth trying
When you put a blackhole in the teapot the blackhole become a teapot
Fido passkey
Ragebait
So the black hole is a fluid?
The blackhole can flow and the blackhole can crash
me when
When they're taking volunteers to go to mars I'll be going there fr
Earth is low key boring
one of mars moon will give it a ring around it before it crushes to it
New Vegas will be in Mars
the other is just flying away
What you have experienced of earth is low key boring
Yes
agree try new things like ordering extra hotsauce from taco bell
Guys the sun will explode on our heads within a few years
I saw on article post new paper
Low key boring cause it's flat. Maybe if it had dimension and not a glass dome. 
Within a few hundred thousand years sure
yo ngl i just realized it would be hella fun if htb had a koth mode which players can compete it to get points and get ranks
No it’s estimated 7 years left
The sun will expand and consume the next 3 planets in line
I once went to an apple store to ask directions to the closest Samsung store
It will explode on our heads that year 8th April or smth was the estimation from the scientists
fun for both red and blue teamers
agree
Explode on our heads is the wording from the article I'm sure
Bro that's like at least over 30 years from now
thats normal you know
itsll be hella fun, imagine 50 people and a ffa
I’m saying it word for word except the date might have been August
1:1
like mr robot underground CTF?
kinda ye
we once hosted a 36 hours coding event and i didnt sleep for 2 days before it already
and they just rotate labs every timeslot so no one literally just grinds one
god it was hell
Apparently it's a common googled question "is the sun gonna explode today"
No, it lacks the energy to do so
thats would be a cool tool idea for linux lol
No as I said the important article I read mentioned it as “the sun will explode on our heads within the next decade”
Okay
Yeah cos some fusion blast energy
So have you made your peace with your family and friends then?
On our heads?
in the next decade pretty sure there will be more things to worry about
Don’t ask me…
like those mf Ai trying to rule the world
I already accepted it what’s the issue
What do u want me to do
Stop the sun?
You're a goofball
turn into a black hole and eat the sun
be the real Teto
😀
actually Teto is fat enough to be a blackhole
I’ll try
Hope you know
That when I was little I cried about learning the sun would expand and destroy earth in a few billion years
As it reaches the end of its life cycle
about the son or you thought you would still be alive?i
Goofball
Aww then it’s cute dw sorry
I cried when they told me eggs were little chickens that wont ever born
for a while i had the idea that if the sun is burning gas that mean its losing its mass and so the gravity pull of it which mean we are drifting away from it slowly
The sun has enough fuel to continue burning for the next 5 billion years
Specifically ours
They told you why right?
breakfast
that true you monster how dare you
It'll be about 1 billion years before the suns expansion causes earth to become uninhabitable
I dont think the timing was good
So no, I don't think the sun will "explode" in ten years
I cant type anymore
Considering 10 years to a star, is absolutely nothing
Yes but it will explode on our heads
what if we nuke it to do so
This joke is going too far lmao
What? I was no the monster lol
Either link the article or admit this is bait
U don’t know simple dorking or osint?

I'm
A blue teamer
And no, I don't feel like searching the internet for this shitty article you keep referencing
you were eating eggs little fellas that could grow up into chickens that give you dino nuggies
Since when is osint offensive
this is actually true xD
Bro
Ur acting like I wrote it
NO I DIDNT ATE EGGS FOR A LONG TIME
after that
I'm acting like you're quoting it like it's God's truth ya fuckin dolt
It is now time to nut up or shut up
Either quit fuckin talking about all humans fucking dying
Or provide evidence
did they tell you about the meat yet?
Lmao, sorry I just put it together that you've been here for years and that this is definitely bait
Good memes
i was in a matanza once.... I saw the chicken running... headless.... the blood all over the soil
oh lol
We do
try to search for deers CWD
I also have a damascus steal chef knife
well thats cool
holy jesus that ending for Interstellar just WHAT
I need like 10 celcius energy after that
you will be listening to the piano music for the rest of your life lol
HE GAVE HER THE FUCKIN DATA THROUGH A WATCH
hello everyone, new to htb community but glad to be a part of it.

any recommendations for a newcomer? i have solved 2 labs in my first day still testing the waters and so far so good
yeah thats how the archangels samael and azazel corrupted humanity and produced the nephilim alongside liliths coven of cambion
bro are you okay
the academy
yeh lol got a good deal on that one thanks to my uni
should i finish academy first and then do labs or just mix and match?
academy for learning labs for enforcing
do both. one when you are bored of the other.
Think you might need to lay off the blood petals there. Spend some times with Inarius
what i said is the book of enoch, not diablo 4
diablo 4 wishes it was complex as freemasonry
See this?
run them together one to learn one to practice
pffft this is first date conversation topics for me
Pffft, who has deep conversation any more? With the severe shortage of braincells it's much more efficient to have quick shallow conversation.
I didn't have time to type a reply to that so I reacted
Its so sad man
I'm back hello 🙂
The amount of dates i ended early when i realized she was r worded
I ended a date early once.
who needs conversations with real people when we have LLMs that can't even read and follow basic instructions
Very happy that I don't deal with dating anymore
same
one time I suffered through a movie date because I thought she was interested and wanted to talk at some point
but she just wanted a free ticket to the movie
I dealt with hobosexuals
I'm pretty sure most people are just finnicky and unreliable
not even worth wasting your time on 90% of dating partners IMHO
I'd say that's generally true and universal among all sexes
most of dating today is indeed girls getting free food or events unfortunately
It is the same for guys.
I never considered it

I couldn't imagine dating anyone anymore man
I'd dedicate myself to my career and my cat lmao
i hate php magic
Eh, you just pack the sadness in a box and stack it in the corner of the room. When the boxes give and it crashes onto you is when you deal with it. 
Wait, you mean I don't have to talk to meat based life forms? I can talk to something else that favors cold hard logic?

got a question for cloud
Wassup
i havent talked to blue teamers much but if you had to say which environment in your opinion has been the hardest in the past 2-3 years
Define "hard"
pick that definition from your dictionary
10

30 Streak pts earned
I'm asking you the question homie lol
bruh i dont know what to define as hard
Hard to do what?
ohhh
Mean hard to defend?
It's hard to defend old shit
ye i get that
Because there's just not any mitigations available
Not many parts of my job are what I'd consider "hard" it's moreso "how much can I contribute to the investigation"
i see
hey who was the one that sent me that page of all those notes and resources
how about between enterprise env vs cloud env
ye
They're pretty easy
If anything cloud based things are easy to track because every single event type is logged by default
When it comes to on prem if something isn't being logged you're hosed it's not there to investigate
what i meant by enterprise env was - GOADs
What's a goad
game of active directory i presume
an enterprise AD env
Huh, I've never heard that lol
I've heard AD before, all the time
If you understand how AD works you'll be decent at defending it
i was reading a article the other day and these different types of env came up
its just like a vulnerable domain environment
i was curious on which ones blue teamers specifically have a hard time securing
It's just old shit that doesn't support modern agents
Because at that point securing the thing is a matter of good telemetry and good networking
Oftentimes my work is reactive

Hello,
Can you run wsl2 in a windows virtual machine on virtual box?
I'm stuck with an error enable virtual machine platform and ensure virtualization is enabled in BIOS.
All the above are enabled.
You asked this question the other day too
just go enable wsl
i forgot where
In a windows virtual machine
He wants to use windows subsystem for Linux, on a windows guest operating system
you probable need nested virtualization enabled
Didn't even know nested virtualization is something that was even.. recommended
Nested virtualization is enabled
its not
it sucks ass
I bet it does lmao
why do you want WSL in a windows vm anyways
what benefit does that give you over a linux vm
i think its more of a space issue
I'm on my first module, Information Security Foundations, and setting up windows environment.
pretty sure thats the case
Ahh he's just a new friend
Don't worry about wsl friend
lmao
It's way, way easier to just have a windows host and a Linux virtual machine
I've used that setup for years with great success
as c1oud said...but also if you want to practice wsl, just set it up on your host
wsl is virtualizing a linux os anyways
Y'all wanna see this dumbass sloth I saw on my tv the other day
Noted. Thanks.
👍
bros just trying to do his best
damn cant even get some peace over here
also i was wondering something, as a blue teamer do you ever spend your time in trying to find something broken and then fix it or yall just rely on pentests to then go on to fix vulns ?
Oh gosh no it's not our job to resolve vulns
again im a complete newbie on this so keep that in mind
how much longer can this truly go on
What I will do, is remediate attacker actions
whats this
So like for example if an account is compromised I can disable it and revoke logon sessions
Homie click the link
oh so essentially try to reverse the damage ?
Yep!
cant look atm
ohhh interesting
Remove dropped files, remove persistence mechanism
woww ye this is cool, literally tracing everyhting done
I’m security engineer but I overlook a ton of infra, try to resolve vulns, respond to incidents, monitor tools, create security architecture, assist clients with security issues etc
then c1oud identifies the bad guys and personally hunts then down to execute them in front of their families
great explanation
I wanna get to what you’re doing where only do a specific function
nice you got scammed into doing 9 jobs for 65k a year
lmao
forever
Really?!?! Nooooo
Im a junior at network security engineering
As much as I'd love to chuck a brick at people
The most I can do is boot them from the network
and the murder
wait brath are you still in forensics or you used to be ?
Bro I want to have just 1 job instead of a million
used to, never again
Yeahhh closest I get to that is I have to unfortunately inform the client they need to call the police
not a great experience i presume
You already know what it all is
ye
and nobody ever gets punished
i accepted that the child shit is just part of the world we live in
hence the US government
some things are just fucked
Which EDR do you use?
One client we had, we werent allowed to force account password changes so I would tlel them they need to because their account is compromised, and they would ignore me
Nice try, TA
Damn
Yep
Explains why c1oud is Renoir
whos renoir
That
Life keeps forcing cruel choices.
That is Renoir
I do data recovery which means I get to do the 10% of forensics thats actually interesting while ignoring the boring 90% part but in return like 80% of my tasks are physically impossible to accomplish without being the NSA but I have to try anyways just in case its the 20% where it is possible
Not passed WW2?
I need to know which ending you chose
Verso
btw did you guys know that you will have to verify your face and ID to use discord starting next month?
They going to lock people account that isn't verify
sounds interesting, but also like a lot of gruntwork
depends on how you define gruntwork
saw a video of a guy reading the individual bits on a hard drive when doing data recovery
government gathering more data
bypassing bitlocker is fun
the idea is its applied to all systems we have today forever. Dude they stopped providing the baking dish for take home pizza in my state
fuck that, customers dont pay enough for that lmao
he owned his own pc repair and data recovery business
thats l3 recovery, the only reason youd ever do that is if someone paid you 10k or you worked for the feds
Word
I would croak if i did data recovery
whats l3 now?
l3 is any sort of boardwork
at geek squad that was l3
am i allowed to ask for assistance in taking down a p3do
ah interesting
Police, immediately
electronic microscope
geek squad doesnt even do l2
they did when i worked there
i dont know their name or anything
im trying to find all that
2016
Any information is relevant
Do not perform the investigation yourself
i only have pictures, usernames
alr
The investigation
geeksquad isnt what it used to be
yeah most police stations cant legally use ur evidence
we used to actually fix things
I could not be more deadly serious about that, that work is a cognitohazard
tbf l4 is semi rhetorical. strictly speaking youre right that its still l3, its just that the vast range of whats considered l3 is so massive it swallows everything else.
So saying some things are l4 is easier
It will damage you by knowing about it
and most of the time vigilante p3do catching is not done using legal methods
now its sticking computers on a shelf and running diag
just like how a super gm isnt an official chess title
But we all know magnus is one
exactly
tyler1 the chess prodigy
Hikaru too maybe?
Yeah "to catch a predator" made that hauntingly clear.
does literally 1 opening
i alr did it i found his full name address his facebook he has a girlfriend a child and is not his alledged age
So are you talking about the foundation of which the plane has been built off of? Like iterations? I feel like you speak in riddles lol
You mean the ones frozen from Walmart? Not fast food right?
hikaru is def super gm
is that bad
That's enough for the police homie wtf are you doing lmao
“I don’t know anything. Actually I know everythign” lol
magnus is
No the idea is wherever bullets hit they remove features.
hikaru is close though
uh yea i forgot abt that
yeah i watch a guy called edpwatch and even though he does all his info collection and stings legally, half the time they cant do anything without opening their own investigation
we already said magnus is. keep up
actually both can be said
TF you mean close enough
bruh i was eating
You don’t just forget about that so you didn’t really
Lmaooo
anyone in the top 10 is super gm
Absolutely no one is close to hikaru in rapid rn
what do i even do with this info like I have his phone number his moms number
specifically anyone 2700 elo or higher
Police
i feel like its bullet
brotha go to the police
alright
HOLY SHIT CALL THE POLICE
The letter P is for the Police
I can never remember the difference
It's one of the fast formats lmao
3 minute?
give it to the police
all it takes is 1 picture 💔
Blitz maybe?
blitz is maggie
yes i will
theyll open an investigation
Avoid that shit like the plague my brother, I promise you
I only play light chess, you only get one photon of time to make your move. goml
Ah.. I had no idea cursed techniques of this planet could be so advanced..
games are over in microseconds
Chess960 anyone?
is it bad if i dont
i remember 0day on a podcast talking about how he caught a pred and the media and feds did nothing until the guy actually offended, even though they were tipped with evidence
im so good at chess i accurately make the worst move each turn to prove how good i am
what part of my desperate pleadings have come across as a suggestion to continue?
even 0day has trouble
I don't play professionally
Every move a blunder
bruh i aint talking prof
Or even ranked lol
Do you have a chess.com elo?
No
great blunders, yes
alr
lichess is the real elo
Mfw I try to 5 move mate but blunder my queen
My dad taught me and I have a trophy from middle school if that means anything lol
cant be possible, even a mcq full of choices cant be all wrong unless u know the wrong answers yourself
The antistockfish
you rely on machines i rely on my soul, 20 million years of blunders cant be wrong
hack the sphere
its a plane
Plane as in ✈️ or plane as in "planar shift"

noneuclidian thats why people think its a sphere
you should contribute to making of antistockfish
moronsss
why would i waste my time on a solved game
if chess had random elements i would appreciate it more
Oh this is that one concept. Shit I know what it is but I can't remember it
You keep removing things until it's not the original
ohh i see what u mena by random
yeah
removing and replacing
ye you gotta redefine that game for that
there is no reason my side couldnt have a double agent bishop next to the king to assassinate him on turn one
chess is so unrealistic
i can normal :))
also why doesnt chess have mounts yet?
idk its pretty fun
i should be able to pack my pawns into a vehicle
You gonna be the one to patch chess?
Update v2.0
this might be more up your alley
i mean they got horses thats almost a car
wym mounts
lolol
That was a good table top game
bro
Horses being described as "almost a car" is probably exactly how being in HTB general makes you feel
my king should be in a helicopter and if my rook unit doesnt have a kamikaze drone i wouldnt have a feasible way to win
4 legs 4 wheels same thing
that shit is more like 3d chess
I like Arch and buffer overflows and unemployment
Very logical (incorrect) observations
I once asked my dad if
Horsepower
Meant that an engine was as strong as X horses
that is was hp is
thats incorrectly correct
No it's not lmao
this is a great game
No what it means is that there’s x horses inside your engine duh
ohh ye nah
The get dizzy sometimes
i thought you meant the engine power is compared to x amount of horses
Hi guys i need help in buying new laptop I'm stuck with using elite book 6930p laptop and it's old version with a 4gb ram and it's slow my work down I'm a Cyber Security trying to get better I needed an new laptop to make my work faster, I tried my best to came up with some money but I can't rise a penny I'll really appreciate your support if anyone could help me out. 😥
It's because it's a formula of power based on weight lifted by one horse
whats power defined as though
So it doesn't directly correlate to "the full unbridled strength of a horse"
I have 1 horse power (my legs) must support 550 lbs (my weight)
is it one attempt
Get. A used thinkpad
I got an x1 carbon for $600
Bro forgot how much ram is
Shit
lmaoo
that laptop is 1k now
get a job
Used to play it all the time back when I was in community college with my friends. Sometimes my one buddy would bring it to the campus for breaks. Good fun
New that shit is 2000
Power is being defined as how many pounds it can move 1 ft in 1 second
Glad someone else knows about it lol
Because engines output torque
My power is about .8
Idk I got a refurbished x1 carbon w/ a Lenovo warranty for cheap
Back in like may of last year
my horse gets 411 horsepower to the wheel
Anyway I also asked my dad when I was little if calling 911 was designated those digits in honor of 9/11 lmao
You're definitely running on hot air.
I dont run, i meander on hot pizza
How does that work I didn't know about thinkpad
Your dad didnt know Gematria
How does what work?

Oh no
ThinkPad price is much higher here
I was baiting conspiracy theorists
Idk my reccomendation for a computer is a used thinkpad
T series even
I recommend a macbook
they are affordable now.
soldered ssd and ram = good deal comparatively
bro i was gonna buy one but they literalyl made it so the only mac pro available is with the m5 chip
that shit i slike 1500
Sir I'm going to suggest consuming the food. If you just walk around it will cool.
no
Well maybe you meander a little around the pizza
so the cheese doesn't peel a layer off the roof of your mouth
i'm new! and really lost!
With?
Installed on a vm or??
wow man this is not a good start
i know :/
Im guessing you’re running apple silicon??
yeaaaaahhhhh
i have a PC too but its a tad slow i thought this might be better
i have a lot to learn guys
consider getting parallels if you are on mac
Try out installing vmware-fusion via homebrew, and find an arm64 based iso for kali
or try out parallels, either all
the vmware option is free and works
i use both
i like parallels and think its worth the money
thank you for the tips
i'll see what i can do tomorrow
hi catto
Get Started with the HTB Beginners Bible: https://www.hackthebox.com/blog/learn-to-hack-beginners-bible
challenge progress short fr
I always liked that the flying spaghetti monster looks like a uterus with massive ovaries
a general question here
for oscp , do i need to practice insane or hard labs very much
?
or oscp is easier
better for #careers-and-certs or maybe the offsec discord
usually people do CPTS path to pass oscp since their training sucks
oscp difficulty tops out at htb medium imo
with most mediums still being harder
agartha
my director at my last job said there are better certs now than oscp
but i forgot what he recommended
it started with a c
CJCA
NG CJCA would make a much better sec+
The only 2 things i know is it started with c and had 4 letters
that is so cooked
all my certs are in firewalls, sase, and logging so far
no oscp so HR doesnt check the rest
I see people with red team experience slander the oscp more than anyone else
HR likes buzzwords and ambiguous language
Yup
If it doesnt take 30 words to say a 7 word sentence, its not getting past ATS
I get a few interviews from time to time, and Ive only had one of them recognize cpts
My fiancee's dad rewrote my resume to have contract like jargon language
don't need oscp if you just talk to an actual pentesting firm
i've landed interviews without oscp because of cpts
but they all cared more about if I had bugbounty/public research than anything else at the interview stage
which company? mine was rhino labs
OSCP? Bachelors? 40 years experience? congrats you qualify for our jr role in 10 more years.
eh I dont like to talk about places Ive interviewed much.
But the one place that recognized cpts was definitely a more boutique firm. Unfortunately I wasnt what they were really looking for and I bombed the interview lmao
with rhino they gave me a webapp to test (which i crushed) and then i went through 2 interviews, one with the ceo/owner guy, but ultimately they went with someone else
I wish more places introduced tests like that early
i had one interview where the HR person told me something and said i didn't have oscp.. i told her i had cpts which is higher level lol. she said she'd check with the team.
I see company job listings expecting me to have mastered configuring and deploying literally every major brand of firewall from memory for like 60-70k
like bruh
no like a day later they said the company changed direction and was closing down hiring and the position wasn't available anymore
One place seemed really cool but they ghosted me in the middle of doing their web app test
it was trash pay anyways, less than what i was making
which was sad because it was fun. Had to craft a padding oracle attack
that one had a test just to find the email youre supposed to send your resume to as well. Extra sad they ghosted me.
their job is to make sure they have maximum reputational buzzwords
not to find real talent
honestly you might be beat off doing both
tell me where i can do these interviews who beat me off
When I got laid off, HR was the most enthusiastic thing ever. "youre fired, heres your severence!! bye"
well it was laid off
not fired
but still
I have oscp and cpts but its still been a grind trying to find a job. So im working on projects in between applications
yeah the job market blows right now
why not /verifycertification?
One of my best friends is a welder and even theyre doing layoffs
Because I left the server for awhile and havnt bothered renewing the status
he almost got laid off but his boss threatened to quit if they did that
compsci people warned everyone about the terrible cyber job market 5 years before it hit the other cyber careers
yup
the verify cert command is ass
@lime trout why is the verify cert command ass
got it
I ocrd my id wrong because htb thought itd be brilliant to have that printed upside down sideways on a pdf instead of having it neatly displayed on your cert page in academy
in case anyone thought I was joking about it being upside down and sideways
maybe contact support
I mean it is sideways but it sure as hell ain't upside down
its read bottom up
thats upside down
for what? to bitch and moan? I can do that here
Nahh it's just rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise... there's no upside down when it's sideways...
nah cause if it 90 degrees clockwise instead it would be just sideways
no to maybe get it fixed
...get what fixed?
It is intended
It's intended
it's on every cert
Im complaining about the intent specifically
Ok time to crawl back under rock bye bye
Intent was for it to fit better in the design... having vertical text can help with this style...
I'm in emergency room lobby for what looks like an infection. Don't want to share details on here but it will probably be fine.
I just need to make sure I mean its urgent
could die if its something serious
Sure and if they put the cert ID in a more convienient location thatd be fine honestly
I would like to think the doctor can treat it
we have good doctors here at this place
how is everyone here doing?
its that downloading your cert and rotating the document/phone/your head is the most direct means of getting the cert ID is annoying
idk bout you but my pdf viewer comes with a rotate page feature
android firefox does not
Bro's viewing his cert on an android phone in the firefox browser... yeah it's not meant to be viewed like that
I wasnt getting up and walking over to the computer just to reverify my discord role
- because I moved through academy at snails pace, 2. because I'm taking a break for several months so I can get through ccna material again and take a 106 hour linux course and a 221 windows infrastructure course, and get really good at IT since that is the only way to resolve me moving through academy at snail's pace and its an underrated way to do things, and 3. because of my psychiatric issues that have caused me to move at snails pace
but I think getting really good at the foundational skills is ideal for now then when I'm stable I can try again
rather than give up
that's why
boring answer, pop boxes
hey bro, I mean this in the nicest way possible but I think you're trying too hard.
Bro got his cert and didn't jump with joy? damn
I almost cried when I got mine
bro I got it 2 years ago
Ohhh.... why tf you only verify it now?!?
to learn how stuff works and get good at that before trying to learn to hack it again? I mean I don't think that's trying too hard
I left HTB for awhile and it de-verified me
@gaunt gale I highly recommend finding a specialization and maybe sticking with 2 things to get really good at
Ive only been back for like 2 weeks
ahh fair enough yeah
I think getting good at foundational skills is an underrated approach and its an approach that is more realistic for me
also I'm studying electronics
you can always google it if you don't remember tbh
Mate you taking too long to get the foundations
I literally only reverified because someone mentioned it lol
you basically specialize in everything except cybersecurity
well I tried for years without that and moved at snails pace through CPTS
google will always be there and if it's not then it's the literal apocalypse
Getting better foundations ain't gonna change how fast you process the information... it's the same information
in principle I disagree.
But for his case specifically youre right lmao
ya I see your point I kind of disagree. I think it won't hurt. also I have psychiatric issues too as a factor here and when I do learn cybersecurity I want to actually be able to do it.
but ya getting really good foundations (which I haven't tried) is actually an approach that has worked for people in the past
its I mean people don't normally do it today but its a thing that has happened
so ya
I researched this
I also think its better than giving up
Don't get me wrong I am all for building foundations, but not if the foundations your building is an entire field in and of itself
its not an entire field
I'm also trying to get a general IT paid internship
I don't have to get 20 years of sysadmin experience
foundations are good but theres a point where youre just stalling and stalling might as well be giving up
ya I don't think I'm at that point tho
that's my main issue
I get what your saying
Bro's studying 106 hours of linux and 200 hours of windows... those are both entire fields XD
I bullied you for the same shit 2 years ago and youre still here in the same spot
ya but I can do CCNA, then linux course, then windows course in 8 months
then try again
you havnt moved
Oh wow..
meh foundations will be different depending on what you specialize in tbh
well, ya but I also was trying academy for most of that time
Never thought you got the certificate
Networking is also an entire field...
not saying I should do 20 years of networking
I mean I think cyber is harder than getting good enough at general IT to do IT support part time and I'm having psychiatric issues so taking care of those. I'm on new psych meds now. Also, have legal issues I'm dealing with.
Mate don't take this the wrong way but you've been taking 2 years to get the foundations
I took two years to do CPTS
not to get foundations
and didn't finish
CPTS kinda goes over the foundations...
ya ok
That's what all the theory modules are for
ya but those are short
They're pretty long mate... they go in depth about the process...
ya I mean ok
without any actual hands on
I personally think homelabbing and getting good at networking, linux, then windows won't hurt me
since what I have been doing with CPTS hasn't been working
that's my issue
if nothing else I'll be back where I started
I also have clinical anxiety which makes it more difficult
and psychosis
IMO all you need to take CPTS is either CJCA or the Information Security Foundations
I dont disagree in principle. I just think its lame that you havnt progressed in the past two years
I did InfoSec Foundations tho
ya but those two years was doing CPTS. I think its lame too. I think I can correct it this way.
@gaunt gale why do you want to get into networking so much? Just curious nothin against network engineers and admins
So your foundations should be solid
I want to get enough hands on networking experience to be better at system administration because that's a good pathway into cyber. or if nothing else, its to get better at foundations.
like youre just NOW starting the fundamentals? You werent doing that for the past 2 years?
At this point you're just studying the same things you've already studied over and over again
interesting gossip
I mean, I could just start CWES because I don't have to wait for all these other skills to start. the issue is I have been doing HTB, which I know I'm smart enough to do. but doing HTB modules directly hasn't worked. so its a paradoxical thing.
theres history here lul
I could do CWES because its straight web but I don't know.
i can see and its pretty enjoyable lol
ehhh not really you're still going to have to learn a lot more than "I can build system so I can destroy" it doesn't really work like that, it's 2 completely different sides of a coin
I remember when I was first starting out I saw him at the same level as well 
ya but I don't have to become a sysadmin to get expertise.
expertise in what?
I mean I could do CWES because its easier and also do HTB but issue is rushing into it when my clinical anxiety is making it impossible
sufficient hands on understanding of networking, linux, windows, some python
We had a whole argument and everything where I told him to give up and he said he was gunna get cpts to prove me wrong.
Im disappointed in the lack of progress towards the proving of being wrong. I dont wanna be right in this scenario
sysadmins don't touch python at all I believe or at least I haven't had to at the cyber range
ok would it be bad to do CWES?
since its just straight web?
I mostly mess with docker, kubernetes, linux, a tiny bit of networking and that's about it
right ok but being good with linux helps htb so does being good with AD no?
CPTS is more recognised than CWES is
I think you're trying to go up a waterfall just find 2 things that interest you and learn them
bro youre even doing the same shit by constantly asking people if you should do X or Y instead
stop trying to fight for so much organization/structure
ok
ok
I get it
maybe I should work just on correcting my mental health
that's a possibility too
if I correct my mental health that probably will fix the issue since I know I'm smart enough that's not my issue
ok
so I started a new medication and I'm working on getting funding for therapy
nice
issue is this new medication may take months to work
I hope that works out for you
go work-out, it's better for your mental health than most meds
queuemark is ripped, ill give him that
and exercise classes
I mean I'm not ripped I'm not even good at boxing
I have disability tho
actual queuemark pic
once the zoloft kicks in the next step is to see if I can reduce other meds
if anxiety exacerbates other mental health issues and I can fix that
then I will try CWES or CPTS again
how do i use ldaps with nxc?
nxc ldaps --help
but doing other easier training now also to not waste the time
that's other thing
but soon as my anxiety is better will try HTB again
that may even be the solution
ya
but for now in emergency room for an infection on my neck
the legal issues I'm dealing with are not helping anxiety
nxc ldaps --help
usage: nxc [-h] [--version] [-t THREADS] [--timeout TIMEOUT] [--jitter INTERVAL] [--no-progress] [--log LOG] [--verbose | --debug] [-6] [--dns-server DNS_SERVER] [--dns-tcp]
[--dns-timeout DNS_TIMEOUT]
{nfs,ftp,smb,vnc,winrm,ssh,rdp,wmi,ldap,mssql} ...
nxc: error: argument protocol: invalid choice: 'ldaps' (choose from nfs, ftp, smb, vnc, winrm, ssh, rdp, wmi, ldap, mssql)
how have you guys been?
I gotta go I'll ttyl about to be called on
but I want to see how you guys have been not just me
see you later I'll hopefully have my infection treated by tomorrow
peace out
It should be ldap that's why you got invalid output
nxc ldap --help
it's not that hard guys just RTFM please
read the friendly manual
ye thats mybad nxc ldap not ldaps
@gaunt gale if you can read documentation then you're already better than a lot of people tbh
nvm my issue was something else
no worries
yo wouldnt it be crazy if AI had comms to literally discuss and assign tasks to other instances when solving a box
like literally saying to agent 2, ayoo stop working on that stupid xss, i got a cmd inj
or something like, yoo im enuming, you scrape the site, third one does research on whatever was found, and fourth one does something else
and its a big difference from just starting 5 individual agents who have no clue what others are doing
more or less can do with claude code cli 💪
if the clanker follows instructions that is 
it's not like an interactive-the-agents-talk-to-each-other kinda thing though
more like one master claude orchestrating a bunch of minion claudes
can get expensive on usage
dunno that I'd rely on claude code to solve HTB tho, might be fun to try on a retired box
check #rules or w/e idk anyway im done yapping
best of luck to you
in all of your endeavors 🤝
@native plume long time no see
not by default but can be done
im testing it and its getting better
needs a lot of thought into how to do but im learning and improving it
will see
thanks man
I think I've heard of some ppl trying to have them update each other via a document
ye i looked into that but its too loose in terms of knowledge
mine in a nutshell communicates rather through a server
and a couple mcps
thats pretty legit
im still workin on it but its showing progress
these agents can now legit know when one of them found something so all others focus their attention on that
deadends are marked
and a lot of other stuff
its still hard to get them to truly communicate but thasts why we keep testing
and for usage i specifically have made the protocols to be work smarter not harder
maybe try something weird like telling them to give each other names
lot to change but one step at a time
make them do something human
oh thats like the first thing they do
once the comm starts
they define each other
ayy i mean you can't be a stranger on a radio right
my mind rn 😭 💀
how else do you think they refer to each other
if one fucks up and one of them spots its fuckip it immediately tells it to stop
kinda like reinforcement learning where they put their learning in the same set
even thought theyre in different simulations
dude what if some crazy guy is out there wrangling claude agents
like some kinda weird cyber rancher
dont know but could be lol
its wierd when i first thought about this but im like let me see if its possible
this one already can now interact with shells, like actual nc shells, winrms, ssh shells
it did cap in 45 seconds
nmap output given
crazy right 😂
the way it just moves laterally now is insane
It's just random asian remote controlling
Howdyyyy
morning
moring
@austere sinew
is there anything better than linpeas
winpeas?
Manual enumeration is king
coffee is king
Real
Guys how come there’s a hash collision in WASM on chrome
Just in time
Type confusion maybe?
something is Sus
drunk hashes?
N <=900 000 but N > 800 000 gives me hash collision but if it’s above 800k it gives out of memory tab crash
Below it and nothing happens
Only in wasm tho not JavaScript
I smelly something 🐟
Status_access_violation lol
okay thanks
when is it going to be discord id required?
end of march
so move to matrix 😄
echo 'general chat' 2>/dev/null | grep 'benifit'
Empty Output
Well well well... if only it wasnt another corp in a position of power 
Yah it is
Nah it's a script issue, the server is just fine
echo $(echo "wsp [REDACTED]")
I'll start cwes exam on 14th, finished the related path 2 weeks ago, I feel like I have forgotten everything

Ok that's fine
