"before you feel anything" is not something we can count on here

frail turtle
#

from my understanding black hole is just a dead star...technically a large blob of iron

west venture
#

So if you don't die you get to see some crazy shit

frail turtle
#

so if you were to come in contact with it you'd go splat

It's an infinitely dense area

#

Or something

molten bobcat
#

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?

You become radioactive

manic anvil

actually i think i know

west venture
#

You could make a black hole

manic anvil
#

when you enter a black hole you go to a world where workers dont press on phishing emails

west venture

If you compress the earth to like a size of a penny you'd make your own diy black hole which is worth trying

It will explode on our heads that year 8th April or smth was the estimation from the scientists

Apparently it's a common googled question "is the sun gonna explode today"

No, it lacks the energy to do so

Okay I won’t let this happen

Don’t worry

actually Teto is fat enough to be a blackhole

tidal musk
#

I’ll try

molten bobcat
#

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

manic anvil

#

I was like 6, sue me

#

Lmao

tidal musk
frozen zinc
manic anvil
#

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

molten bobcat
#

The sun has enough fuel to continue burning for the next 5 billion years

#

Specifically ours

manic anvil

It'll be about 1 billion years before the suns expansion causes earth to become uninhabitable

frozen zinc

So no, I don't think the sun will "explode" in ten years

molten bobcat

I dealt with hobosexuals

maiden anvil
#

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

sharp shuttle

most of dating today is indeed girls getting free food or events unfortunately

It is the same for guys.

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"

bruh i dont know what to define as hard

molten bobcat
#

Hard to do what?

jolly snow
#

ohhh

molten bobcat
#

Mean hard to defend?

jolly snow
#

ye

#

secure i guess

molten bobcat
#

It's hard to defend old shit

jolly snow
#

ye i get that

molten bobcat
#

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"

jolly snow
#

i see

brittle quail
#

hey who was the one that sent me that page of all those notes and resources

jolly snow
#

how about between enterprise env vs cloud env

molten bobcat
#

Those are one and the same

#

Are you talking about on prem vs cloud

jolly snow
#

ye

molten bobcat
#

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

jolly snow
#

what i meant by enterprise env was - GOADs

molten bobcat
#

What's a goad

vital linden
#

game of active directory i presume

jolly snow
#

game of active directory

#

ye

vital linden
#

an enterprise AD env

molten bobcat
#

Huh, I've never heard that lol

jolly snow
#

really

#

interesting

molten bobcat
#

I've heard AD before, all the time

vital linden
molten bobcat
#

If you understand how AD works you'll be decent at defending it

jolly snow
#

i was reading a article the other day and these different types of env came up

vital linden
#

its just like a vulnerable domain environment

jolly snow
#

i was curious on which ones blue teamers specifically have a hard time securing

molten bobcat
#

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

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.

molten bobcat
#

You asked this question the other day too

jolly snow
#

i forgot where

molten bobcat
#

In a windows virtual machine

jolly snow
#

ohh

#

its a vm

#

isnt is the same procedure ?

molten bobcat
#

He wants to use windows subsystem for Linux, on a windows guest operating system

vital linden
molten bobcat
#

Didn't even know nested virtualization is something that was even.. recommended

glacial shard
molten bobcat
#

I bet it does lmao

vital linden
#

what benefit does that give you over a linux vm

jolly snow
#

i think its more of a space issue

glacial shard
jolly snow
#

pretty sure thats the case

molten bobcat
#

Ahh he's just a new friend

jolly snow
#

lmao

molten bobcat
#

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

vital linden
#

as c1oud said...but also if you want to practice wsl, just set it up on your host

molten bobcat
#

Ye

vital linden
#

wsl is virtualizing a linux os anyways

molten bobcat

vital linden
#

jolly snow
#

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 ?

molten bobcat
#

Oh gosh no it's not our job to resolve vulns

jolly snow
#

again im a complete newbie on this so keep that in mind

sharp shuttle
#

how much longer can this truly go on

molten bobcat
#

What I will do, is remediate attacker actions

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

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

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. 😥

molten bobcat

It's because it's a formula of power based on weight lifted by one horse

jolly snow
#

whats power defined as though

molten bobcat

So it doesn't directly correlate to "the full unbridled strength of a horse"

i have been looking for something like this

#

I always liked that the flying spaghetti monster looks like a uterus with massive ovaries

shadow merlin
#

a general question here

#

for oscp , do i need to practice insane or hard labs very much

#

?

#

or oscp is easier

alpine pumice
shadow merlin
#

okay

#

thanks

alpine pumice
#

usually people do CPTS path to pass oscp since their training sucks

sharp shuttle
#

why?

#

thats good business

rancid snow
#

with most mediums still being harder

sage epoch
#

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

alpine pumice
#

CJCA

sage epoch
#

Maybe, i couldnt tell you

#

this was 2 years ago

warm dome
terse dirge
sage epoch
#

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

rancid snow
#

no oscp so HR doesnt check the rest

sage epoch
#

oscp

rancid snow
#

its a lame cert but your resume gets filtered if it doesnt mention it

#

lol

sage epoch
#

I see people with red team experience slander the oscp more than anyone else

rancid snow
#

no

#

cpts doesnt get you past hr

sage epoch
#

HR likes buzzwords and ambiguous language

rancid snow
#

Yup

sage epoch
#

If it doesnt take 30 words to say a 7 word sentence, its not getting past ATS

rancid snow
#

I get a few interviews from time to time, and Ive only had one of them recognize cpts

sage epoch
#

My fiancee's dad rewrote my resume to have contract like jargon language

alpine pumice
#

don't need oscp if you just talk to an actual pentesting firm

#

i've landed interviews without oscp because of cpts

rancid snow
#

but they all cared more about if I had bugbounty/public research than anything else at the interview stage

alpine pumice
#

OSCP? Bachelors? 40 years experience? congrats you qualify for our jr role in 10 more years.

rancid snow
# alpine pumice which company? mine was rhino labs

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

alpine pumice
#

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

rancid snow
alpine pumice
#

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.

sage epoch
#

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

alpine pumice
#

no like a day later they said the company changed direction and was closing down hiring and the position wasn't available anymore

rancid snow
#

One place seemed really cool but they ghosted me in the middle of doing their web app test

alpine pumice
#

it was trash pay anyways, less than what i was making

rancid snow
#

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.

sage epoch
#

not to find real talent

rancid snow
#

honestly you might be beat off doing both

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

alpine pumice
#

yeah the job market blows right now

alpine pumice
sage epoch
#

One of my best friends is a welder and even theyre doing layoffs

rancid snow

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

#

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

muted olive
#

maybe contact support

warped plank
rancid snow

thats upside down

rancid snow

nah cause if it 90 degrees clockwise instead it would be just sideways

...get what fixed?

muted olive
#

it being sideways

#

...unless thats intended and im missing something

rancid snow

It is intended

warped plank

it's on every cert

Im complaining about the intent specifically

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

rancid snow
gaunt gale
#

I would like to think the doctor can treat it

#

we have good doctors here at this place

#

how is everyone here doing?

rancid snow

its that downloading your cert and rotating the document/phone/your head is the most direct means of getting the cert ID is annoying

I wasnt getting up and walking over to the computer just to reverify my discord role

gaunt gale
# rancid snow <@459408528818569217> how are you still here and noob rank
  1. 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
gaunt gale
#

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

@gaunt gale I highly recommend finding a specialization and maybe sticking with 2 things to get really good at

rancid snow
#

Ive only been back for like 2 weeks

warped plank
gaunt gale
#

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

terse dirge
warped plank
rancid snow
#

I literally only reverified because someone mentioned it lol

warped plank
#

you basically specialize in everything except cybersecurity

gaunt gale
terse dirge
#

google will always be there and if it's not then it's the literal apocalypse

warped plank
rancid snow
gaunt gale
#

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

warped plank
#

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

gaunt gale
#

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

rancid snow
#

foundations are good but theres a point where youre just stalling and stalling might as well be giving up

gaunt gale
#

that's my main issue

#

I get what your saying

warped plank
#

Bro's studying 106 hours of linux and 200 hours of windows... those are both entire fields XD

rancid snow
#

I bullied you for the same shit 2 years ago and youre still here in the same spot

gaunt gale
#

ya but I can do CCNA, then linux course, then windows course in 8 months

#

then try again

rancid snow
#

you havnt moved

terse dirge
#

meh foundations will be different depending on what you specialize in tbh

gaunt gale
warm ravine
#

Never thought you got the certificate

warped plank

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.

warped plank
gaunt gale
#

not to get foundations

#

and didn't finish

warped plank
#

CPTS kinda goes over the foundations...

gaunt gale
#

ya ok

warped plank
#

That's what all the theory modules are for

gaunt gale
#

ya but those are short

warped plank
#

They're pretty long mate... they go in depth about the process...

gaunt gale
#

ya I mean ok

warped plank
#

without any actual hands on

gaunt gale
#

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

warped plank
#

IMO all you need to take CPTS is either CJCA or the Information Security Foundations

rancid snow
gaunt gale
#

I did InfoSec Foundations tho

gaunt gale

#

@gaunt gale why do you want to get into networking so much? Just curious nothin against network engineers and admins

At this point you're just studying the same things you've already studied over and over again

soft delta
#

interesting gossip

gaunt gale
#

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.

rancid snow
gaunt gale
#

I could do CWES because its straight web but I don't know.

soft delta
terse dirge

gaunt gale

#

expertise in what?

gaunt gale
#

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

gaunt gale
rancid snow
# soft delta i can see and its pretty enjoyable lol

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

terse dirge
gaunt gale
#

since its just straight web?

terse dirge
#

I mostly mess with docker, kubernetes, linux, a tiny bit of networking and that's about it

I think you're trying to go up a waterfall just find 2 things that interest you and learn them

rancid snow
terse dirge
#

stop trying to fight for so much organization/structure

gaunt gale
#

ok

#

ok

#

I get it

#

maybe I should work just on correcting my mental health

#

that's a possibility too

rancid snow
#

Honestly

#

yeah

#

thatd be way better than any of our nonesense

gaunt gale
#

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

rancid snow
#

nice

gaunt gale
#

issue is this new medication may take months to work

rancid snow
#

I hope that works out for you

gaunt gale
#

so that's the other issue

#

thanks

#

I hope that medication makes it easier to do HTB

warped plank
#

go work-out, it's better for your mental health than most meds

gaunt gale
#

ya I am

#

I started doing boxing classes

rancid snow
#

queuemark is ripped, ill give him that

gaunt gale
#

and exercise classes

#

I mean I'm not ripped I'm not even good at boxing

#

I have disability tho

rancid snow
#

actual queuemark pic

gaunt gale
#

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

rapid swallow
#

how do i use ldaps with nxc?

gaunt gale
#

probably CWES because I have always had interest in web

#

ya

rancid snow
gaunt gale
#

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

gaunt gale
#

ok thank you

#

I agree with that

rapid swallow
#

nvm my issue was something else

rancid snow
#

no worries

jolly snow
#

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

maiden anvil
#

more or less can do with claude code cli 💪

#

if the clanker follows instructions that is sus

#

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 🤝

needs a lot of thought into how to do but im learning and improving it

#

will see

jolly snow
maiden anvil
jolly snow
#

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

maiden anvil
#

thats pretty legit

jolly snow
#

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

maiden anvil
#

maybe try something weird like telling them to give each other names

jolly snow
#

lot to change but one step at a time

maiden anvil
#

make them do something human

jolly snow
#

once the comm starts

#

they define each other

maiden anvil
#

lol

#

LMFAO

jolly snow
#

ayy i mean you can't be a stranger on a radio right

maiden anvil
#

my mind rn 😭 💀

jolly snow
#

how else do you think they refer to each other

jolly snow
#

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

maiden anvil
#

dude what if some crazy guy is out there wrangling claude agents

#

like some kinda weird cyber rancher

jolly snow
#

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
