Ik

[frozen zinc]

So is very interesting, it can be use with C2s so the port is "close" (application layer) and then the interface wait for a specific sequence to open the port

so you hide the server

[molten bobcat]

I'm tired

[frozen zinc]

like knocking a door in a specific way and then it open

[molten bobcat]

Yelling read the Bible and then linking the mitre framework is funny to me lol

[brittle quail]

it seems like my connection to the box is rlly unstable. it keeps flashing from "connected" to "connect"

[frozen zinc]

it can be also use to hide port 22 for example

[molten bobcat]

I would love to clarify something for you

[frozen zinc]

so when you do the initial nmap scan port 22 is not there

[molten bobcat]

You don't connect to machines directly

You're connected to the network the machine is on

[devout sail]

Was reading it, might study in details later

[molten bobcat]

Your network connection is what is unstable, not the target

[frozen zinc]

do the box Nineveh if you can

[devout sail]

No vip

[frozen zinc]

oh

[brittle quail]

so the wifi im on is trash?

[devout sail]

Hmm my seasonal rewards are rotting
But I'm lazy to use it cuz I know I won't be using it much

[molten bobcat]

I mean that's what it seems like

Have you done any network tests lately?

[devout sail]

No cloud, currently many people are having such issues

[molten bobcat]

Awee

[devout sail]

Check #1469754264372117698

[molten bobcat]

Nevermind then

[devout sail]

Especially EU

[brittle quail]

i run the vpn and it keeps saying
2026-02-11 14:22:25 Restart pause, 2 second(s

[molten bobcat]

It seems that HTB servers are having issues

So don't worry about it, nothing you've done 👍🏻

[brittle quail]

thast why?

[molten bobcat]

Ya ya

[brittle quail]

wowwww

ok

[molten bobcat]

How fun

[devout sail]

Download new VPN file for different server (TCP) and connect, if it connects
Spawn the machine on that network

[brittle quail]

this whole time i thought i was doing something

[molten bobcat]

I mean

It could be a coincidence

[brittle quail]

i probably still am 😭

[frozen zinc]

give it ot me

[molten bobcat]

Exactly lol

[frozen zinc]

i pay you cookies

[brittle quail]

i alr got a new file

it js keeps disconnecting

[devout sail]

Can't transfer or there will be HTB black market

[devout sail]

Which server?

Go for US or SG

[frozen zinc]

https://tenor.com/view/wink-eye-wink-gif-3023120962008687924

[brittle quail]

us machines 7

[devout sail]

Ok don't download any which says 0 beside name

Idk if that's latency or user count
But those doesn't work

[brittle quail]

yea i just think the severs are lagging

im just gonna try every server

[devout sail]

Hehe i can't evenr recommend vpn now

All i remember is I used vpn 267

The ID not name

[molten bobcat]

At this point just

Give it some time

They'll resolve it

[frozen zinc]

people this is cool as fuck
https://worldmonitor.app/

[brittle quail]

whats the command to disconnect from openvpn vpn

[molten bobcat]

You Ctrl C the terminal running the command

[frozen zinc]

I dont need to study more cyber sec i will just open that panel and look at it

[devout sail]

sudo pkill openvpn just to be sure

[molten bobcat]

Ctrl C is "stop" when something is running in the command line btw

[brittle quail]

ik but i did this im still connected

ima js reset vm

[devout sail]

I hate it when people at work type "clear" instead of Ctrl+L
I keep telling them and they don't want to use it

[molten bobcat]

Sudo pkill openvpn does this

All that does is kill all processes with the name openvpn

[brittle quail]

im trying us machines 4

[frozen zinc]

well is not the same Ctrl+L does not really clear

you can scroll up still

sometimes is annoy

[devout sail]

Doesn't really matter lmao
They just wanna clear screen

[frozen zinc]

xD

[molten bobcat]

It's cls

now im running the vpn file and now it says my certi not valid

[frozen zinc]

wonderful world wonderful people

[brittle quail]

why did pterodactyl get 2.7 stars 💀

[iron hollow]

No, hacked too much already

Gotta leave some for other people

Hahaha

[cerulean knoll]

I got a question

[green kite]

Sure

[cerulean knoll]

I'm trying to pass a username and password through burp repeater. I'm still finding it difficult to pass the values

[green kite]

What do you mean? It’s just entering the values?

[velvet root]

What is the way to contact hack the box store. I tried sending mail to their email. But no one responded.

[green kite]

Might just be best contacting support

[west lynx]

https://help.hackthebox.com/en/articles/5986762-contacting-htb-support

[cerulean knoll]

If I use the form on the site, it logs in as a standard user but I can change the cookie to that of an admin.
So I intercepted the request and want to login via burp as the user and change the cookie

It's a portswigger lab btw

[green kite]

Trying to hack Carlos eh

[cerulean knoll]

Naa I have to delete him. I know don't what problem portswigger has with him 😂

[green kite]

Poor Carlos. Being cyberbullied

[cerulean knoll]

Justice for Carlos 😂🫡

[rancid snow]

Carlos knows what he did

[upbeat frigate]

Can two people have the same username on the HTB labs platform?

[molten bobcat]

No

[upbeat frigate]

So if someone posted a screenshot claiming they pwned a specific machine, but my friend couldn't find that username, and created his account under that username, that means that someone was capping? lol

[molten bobcat]

Yep

[cerulean knoll]

C'mon I've seen 2 users always. Wiener and Carlos.
Why does it always have to be Carlos who gets deleted 😭

[upbeat frigate]

Dam, that's crazy

[molten bobcat]

Every account is searchable complete with a history of boxes solved

[upbeat frigate]

BRO ISTG, I was thinking the same today

I've just completed SSRF, and poor Carlos

[cerulean knoll]

Congrats 🥳
I'm still on the basics

And I'm finding it difficult to login through burp. I've intercepted the request, I have the creds but I can't pass them through repeater to gain access

[rancid snow]

screenshot of what your repeater screen looks like

[upbeat frigate]

I did CRTP, and penetration Tester path, but forgot to do Portswigger first, so im back to basics :')
(I was suffering from getting initial access to machines)

[supple plume]

Hard to believe tho

There is a lot in the frontend

[west venture]

What is this?

[lime trout]

[frail turtle]

discord had their users IDs leaked via the third party they outsourced their verification to

it happened I think in 2024

and now they are doing it again

[lime trout]

i suggest clicking the button

[warm ravine]

Classic discord

Holy hell

No way

[frail turtle]

I'm not clikcing that

[warm ravine]

Heck no

[west venture]

Also discord is going to block all accounts by default unless they verify age via 3d face scan or ID

[lime trout]

its a rickroll

lol

[frail turtle]

lol

[west venture]

Oh I didn't fall for it

[warm ravine]

That's a simple phishing thing
Just harmless

[frail turtle]

lol

[warm ravine]

I scanned it

[supple plume]

I was about to start sending dubious pics

[frail turtle]

nahh emma is trustworthy

[warm ravine]

Nothing but every single anti-virus says its safe

[frail turtle]

but discord is not

[lime trout]

i'd never post anything that'd actually get censored here 😂

[jaunty pulsar]

what rickroll requires age verification?

[warm ravine]

Throw bricks at discord

[frail turtle]

lol

[jaunty pulsar]

some weird ideas are coming out of my mind rn

[frail turtle]

dont do it

[warm ravine]

I wonder how many blackhat hackers gonna hack discord after this update comes out

[frail turtle]

and dont worry guys i will invent the new websocket based web chatting site we will all migrate to

[warm ravine]

Every single person's personal data

Gone to dust

[jaunty pulsar]

the better question is: how many groups will "claim" they compromised their db?

[supple plume]

Dust

[frail turtle]

i think discord uses websockets

-.o

[warm ravine]

Do they really get it or fake it?

[west venture]

I haven't slept in over 20 hours again

[jaunty pulsar]

some groups just try to threaten and others actually have solid proof that they have hacked the company

[supple plume]

Skill issue

[jaunty pulsar]

happens a lot

[west venture]

I wanna play chess

[supple plume]

Let's do it

[warm ravine]

Well I trust the people who actually hacked it so they can show how Discord cant protect their pathetic platform

[west venture]

But I also don't want to

[frail turtle]

yeah discord uses websockets

[jaunty pulsar]

what's your record big boy? 👀

[warm ravine]

Wantn't

[supple plume]

discord is just being hostile

[warm ravine]

[warm ravine]

To their customers

[frail turtle]

why would they need more

[warm ravine]

Including us

[jaunty pulsar]

what's your record in terms of hours awake without sleep?

[warm ravine]

Ok so which chatting platform we have than this one

[wind marlin]

[west venture]

We have telegram

[frail turtle]

.........there's so many out there

[west venture]

Let's start a telegram channel

[supple plume]

I guess 2 nights but that's just brain damaging, skill issue is not sleeping good regularly

[warm ravine]

@supple plume Coming to Back End

[warm ravine]

How about TeamSpeak

[jaunty pulsar]

yea I also lasted two full days without sleep for a hackathon

[warm ravine]

Almost same as Discord

[frail turtle]

[jaunty pulsar]

and that night when I slept I had a cramp

[frail turtle]

[supple plume]

Good, let me know the progress

[supple plume]

[west venture]

Nah sleep is optional

[supple plume]

Sleeping bad is terrible

[supple plume]

Sure, living is optional too

[warm ravine]

So dying is

[west venture]

Yeah tbh

[warm ravine]

I mean

Why

Living is optional tell me

[frail turtle]

not getting enough sleep promotes aging, and a bunch of absolutely terrible things

you know what I envy? I envy not having that orange colored name because reasons

[supple plume]

Background and auto turn off

You'll get to dream it while awake

Maybe read a book instead or smth

[rancid snow]

its a fun cert, learned a lot, but the label doesnt help with interviews much

so depends on what kind of difference youre looking for

[supple plume]

Interviews

[rancid snow]

then its unlikely to make much of a difference, work on public projects you can showcase more

tooling, writeups, bug bounties, cves, etc

[supple plume]

Hmmm

Ok

[rancid snow]

but if you still need skills to go from newbie->high beginner/Icanseeintermediatearoundthecorner then cpts is good for learning

[supple plume]

I'm more interested on CWES

I wouldn't like to be pentesting AD stuff

Tbh

But I guess cpts and cwes is similar regards the job market

[rapid badger]

they share lots of modules

[hybrid galleon]

would you guys say HTB is to cybersecurity what the Odin project is to web developers?

bad comparison? lol

[warm dome]

you end up finishing sorcery root?

[rancid snow]

I will say that unfortunately cpts is missing a couple of areas with AD pentesting that employers are super keen on.

They really want you to know about delegation attacks, relay attacks, and adcs. Which only gets mentions in cpts

[supple plume]

Not today

same with my last job they were doing the send email feature in the client...

plus idors, client side captcha checks, client side auth in general, shared user storage, private source code on public directory, sqli, and rce

[azure remnant]

gpt write me a code make sure it dosent break later

Wrong chat buddy

[azure remnant]

Ah sry

I once made hilarous mistake in whatsapp where i took screenshots of chat 1 and instead of sending it to chat 2 to make fun of him i sent it to chat 1 by mistake

[timber garnet]

Anybody unable to spawn pwnbox instances atm ?

[azure remnant]

How im gonna sleep now

[gray wraith]

Maybe u can make a /suggestion iirc, unless this is explored more in different AD paths

[rancid snow]

academy covers those but theyre tier 4 modules

[pine edge]

I am

[gray wraith]

Oof...

My guess is, adding them to cpts would be too expensive

[flint rain]

Are we allowed to publish writeups on mini prolabs, the ones with an official writeup available to download?

[warm ravine]

@supple plume yo

[supple plume]

Wsp

[lofty marsh]

What's cooking?

[supple plume]

👂

[warm ravine]

Check dms

[lofty marsh]

What echo I'm one of your hoes now ignoring me like that?

/j

[mint ledge]

he got sorcery user flag

[frozen zinc]

official writeups for mini pro labs? Are you sure about that?

[mint ledge]

hes now a different man..

[warm ravine]

So.. fellas
I tried the Meow challenge, wanted to test smth
It wanted me to download VPN, every single time I tried downloading it, the terminal says it cant find the file

[flint rain]

I do see few of these

[mint ledge]

you're probably in the wrong directory

[lofty marsh]

because you didnt cd to the correct directory

[flint rain]

for Hades xen rpg and others

the old ones

[frozen zinc]

oh

[supple plume]

🗣️ 📢 🔥
rm -rf @lofty marsh && echo 'DEEZ NUTS' > @lofty marsh.JPG

[warm ravine]

I mean.. cant I do it on my own VM?

[lofty marsh]

he DEFINITELY didnt 🥀

[frozen zinc]

I didnt knew it

[flint rain]

np

[warm ravine]

I'm trying something new bro

[lofty marsh]

Bro u already deleted me how tf u gonn shove deez nuts at the jpg

[supple plume]

that command creates the file

Fr

[rancid snow]

>will create new file

[lofty marsh]

AND HOW CAN YOU SHOVE A TEXT ON A JPG

[supple plume]

That is part of the plan

[warm ravine]

Wdym by that btw

[lofty marsh]

cd to Downloads

[molten bobcat]

Stego

[rancid snow]

jpgs can also hold arb text

[lofty marsh]

and do sudo openvpn startingpointsomething.ovpn

[warm ravine]

I mean..
Like lemme do this tmmrw

[mint ledge]

bro forfeited for the day

[lofty marsh]

Oh fr?

[warm ravine]

Cuz its night time

Had to use the last minutes for this

[molten bobcat]

Hacker bed time

[warm ravine]

Turns out its just a waste

[mint ledge]

my clock corrupts my os if i touch it so i can't tell

[lofty marsh]

You guys sleep?

[supple plume]

I have developed a set of tools that do that but with elegance

[warm ravine]

What should I do before that?

I mean

[mint ledge]

download it

das it

[rancid snow]

you can shove php into a jpg and if you manage to get a php application to include it the PHP code will run despite all the jpg file structure stuff

[warm ravine]

Ok uh

[lofty marsh]

sudo openvpn startingpoint.ovpn```

[warm ravine]

Lemme try it

[mint ledge]

try that aswell

for vpn connection

(dont)

[supple plume]

NO PERVERSER ROOT

[lofty marsh]

delete it ur gonn get muted 💀

Speaking from past experience

[mint ledge]

hes not typing anymore

did he do it

im scared to know

[rancid snow]

Yeah theres enough absolute newbs that come in that dont get the joke and will run it

[molten bobcat]

Yehh

[lofty marsh]

Imagine he did it

but you didnt put sudo so ur good

[mint ledge]

just add a tiny dot in front of the /

[frozen zinc]

I remenber a guy who actually did the rm command in a spanish hacking server....

[mint ledge]

so its good

[molten bobcat]

Kneel

[frozen zinc]

poor dude

[rancid snow]

its crazy how effective this is

[molten bobcat]

I hate clickfix a lot

Cloudflare turnstile bullshit

[mint ledge]

@warm ravine u good bro

[rancid snow]

its kinda genius tbh

[supple plume]

Someone asked me for someth8ng stupid like how to steal a bank account and I gave them the no perverser root and told them to add the website address after the # parameter, they vanished

[frozen zinc]

He may be fighting against the VPN it got harder nowadays

[molten bobcat]

I mean ya gave the brother the command to run

[supple plume]

Base 64 encoded btw

[molten bobcat]

@lofty marsh get pinged

Is that your company?

[molten bobcat]

Cloudflare?

No

Lmao

[supple plume]

@@west venture @west venture @west venture sleep already

[west venture]

Oh

[molten bobcat]

That's a clickfix phishing page

[supple plume]

[west venture]

I would've fallen for that tbh

[rancid snow]

ofc, thats why its genius

it doesnt have to outsmart people, it just has to level the right balance of tedious to trick regular people

everyone has seen annoying captchas and completely random cloudflare checks that if you dont know anything about computers it looks like just yet another new stupid captcha system

[supple plume]

Time sleep hopefully

[potent gull]

o/

[supple plume]

Zero dumb means that the zero is dumb or you are zero units of dumb? Maybe ZeroDumb is Dumb number 0 or some Zero named character that is dumb so the name is an insult against someone called Zero. Or is it that you're Zeroing the dumbness

[potent gull]

lol

I am one with 0, and anti dumb.

do zero dumb things = ZeroDumb

or, maybe it's all just a meme from AI

[azure remnant]

Or maybe

M****D is involved

[potent gull]

what is more likely is that I had a grand idea one day to start a blog, and t-shirt, super secret club for antihackery and it landed on ZeroDumb, and after that, I already had the domain and email so it stuck

[warm dome]

so im kinda curious why lets defend was brought when academy has so much blue team stuff

has it got something academy doesnt? havnt touched the lets defend platform yet

[tawdry thorn]

Hi guys, i just joint today and completed my first box Meow

[potent gull]

congrats on the first box

now just 999 more to go

[sharp shuttle]

you live in a capitalistic market and can't identify the technique called "buying your competition"?

All good marketing is funnel-shaped

[warm dome]

seems like a waste when htb has so much more momentum then they did tho

[sharp shuttle]

There is no such thing as momentum anymore, the players are set, there will be no new platforms, so platforms cannabalize each other

[supple plume]

Time to become a relatively successful competitor and get cannibalized

[rapid badger]

A red team platform buying up a blue team platform makes perfect sense. For example boot.dev which has tons of back-end only courses bought some large front-end platform.

[sharp shuttle]

What VulnLabs did only happened because HTB ignored pro labs and XCT was highly respected

We call that market cornering, at this point in the game, OffSec is all that HTB has to kill

and we all know offsec content is dogshit, so just by the nature of education, CPTS will surpass OSCP

HTB just needs to get one giant enterprise account that wants to standardize their testers education on it

HR will follow

[frozen zinc]

HTB will never kill offsec if they dont develop projects imo

[warm dome]

doesnt make sense when they have so much blue team content tho

[supple plume]

What matters here is how do I begin making loads of cash legally, give me fastest path for an idiot like me

[exotic pendant]

😄

[sharp shuttle]

Metasploit is the only good product by OffSec, why would you use kali linux after you graduate their kindergarten oscp cert?

[frozen zinc]

kali is shit im agree but metasploit is big

and exploitdb also

[sharp shuttle]

Exploitdb is really just metasploit

[exotic pendant]

I wish I could go back in time and give myself an air fryer and the ninja creami when I was doing bodybuilding

[lofty marsh]

It's not shit but its disposable..

[exotic pendant]

wouldve been a game changer

[rapid badger]

Do they ? There is one blu cert and everything else is red. At least what it looks like to a newbie like me.

[warm dome]

ninja creami?

[exotic pendant]

Ice cream maker

[frozen zinc]

Would be nice to see HTB release a community big project

[exotic pendant]

and it's super easy to make healthy ice cream

[warm dome]

sherlocks,challenges, that 1 blue team cert has alot in it, also a load of other blue team modules

[warm dome]

bruh i need this

[exotic pendant]

it's great

I got it on black friday

[warm dome]

does it come with recipes for healthy icecream? or hows it turn out to be healthy

[exotic pendant]

I usually do

1 scoop protein, milk under the fill line or almond milk for lower cal, dash of xanthan gum, and monk fruit

[sharp shuttle]

shit frost had that ready

[exotic pendant]

or you can just dump fruit + fruit juice in a container, freeze and then you have a sherbert

[warm dome]

i think i need to try this haha

[sharp shuttle]

i also use the creami and frosts recipe

[warm dome]

might looko into one

[sharp shuttle]

it is a game changer

[potent gull]

guru speak, we listen. healthy ice cream is where it's at

[sharp shuttle]

You will never buy ice cream again

[exotic pendant]

The protein I used atm tastes like hot chocolate

[supple plume]

I stored strategically pizza crust in the fridge to toast it and eat it with fried eggs. Now these thoughts are haunting me while being hungry and trying to sleep.

[warm dome]

you should try the rule1 vanilla ice cream one

actually taste like melted ice cream

would go hard in that

[exotic pendant]

Ninja pizza oven would be nice

[west venture]

I like to eat chocolate frozen

[exotic pendant]

Ye that vanilla is good

[potent gull]

that looks amazing

[exotic pendant]

9/10 ninja creami tho, would get again

[frozen zinc]

oh wow thats cheaper than ooni

[potent gull]

I want a pizza oven. idk why, I have an oven. but a pizza oven seems nice

[exotic pendant]

I'll prob still go ooni

[warm dome]

btw these challenges are slow for guru feels like im just rapid firing them going through easy ones to tick em off

[supple plume]

Gooning?

[exotic pendant]

I have this soft serve one but i dont make soft serve that much

the kid loves it

[sharp shuttle]

why do you want guru?

i just feel like there are better uses of time

[exotic pendant]

Everytime I did a box, a new box kept coming out

[warm dome]

just for sake of doing it

[exotic pendant]

I only wanted orange name to match my pfp

[potent gull]

makes sense

[sharp shuttle]

fair

[west venture]

I can't eat ice cream from a cone like that and enjoy it bc you have to be quick before It melts and starts to make a mess

[exotic pendant]

Yeah i just eat it out of the container

my pint of ice cream today was only 180 calories

[sharp shuttle]

I like making fruity pebble ice cream

220 a pint

[exotic pendant]

I was tempted to mix some in since I can eat rice cereal on my diet in the morning

[warm dome]

yeah that was my issue before, but i wanna focus ono just weekly releases without other stuff sitting thhere

[supple plume]

Time to indulge midnight pizza crusts

[lofty marsh]

Fellasssss

[warm dome]

so trying to smash out as many as i can

[supple plume]

Wsp

[exotic pendant]

Instead of meal 6, i just made ice cream

[sharp shuttle]

I actually let it sit in the milk then i strain out the wet cereal so i can get the essence, and sometimes l mix in the crunchy versions

[exotic pendant]

ah yeah I've seen that. Make cereal milk

[west venture]

You guys make ice cream? I just buy it

[warm dome]

its healthy tho one he makes

[rapid badger]

Cereal Milk Ice cream

[exotic pendant]

maybe i'll try this

[lofty marsh]

Should I keep going with pentesting labs and keep practicing while preparing for devsecops, or should I take a break from it and dedicate to devsecops and THEN dedicate to pentest?

[sharp shuttle]

the fuck

[lofty marsh]

What do you guys recommend

[sharp shuttle]

thats so cursed

[supple plume]

Bro again !?!?

[frozen zinc]

aahaha

[exotic pendant]

Get a creami

[lofty marsh]

[exotic pendant]

and you wont ever again

[sharp shuttle]

those roles are completely unrelated, one is dev one is puzzles

[warm dome]

nah focus 1 area fr

[lofty marsh]

Pentesting nowdays dedicate a lot in cloud and it is a good launchpad

plus coding with pentesting?

[sharp shuttle]

Pentesting cloud lol

[lofty marsh]

lethal

[sharp shuttle]

Cloud is mostly patched, the only exposure is keys

[west venture]

@molten bobcat

[exotic pendant]

got 3 more companies that i'm waiting on money for

[lofty marsh]

I heard companies use cloud a lot and it's crucial in modern cybersec

thats what I heard 💀

[warm dome]

everytime i see you makes me wanna start doing bounties

[sharp shuttle]

There is actually a huge push to go back on prem

[exotic pendant]

I dont even care about the money

but it's doing me good atm

[sharp shuttle]

Cloud is silly expensive

[warm dome]

yeah thats why im doing so many labs now its just fun, i might try them out once i climb a bit more

[west venture]

How much to you make on it?

[lofty marsh]

I dont think they will regardless..

[exotic pendant]

Nice try IRS

kidding I pay my taxes

[west venture]

Is it easy or do you have to do hard work?

[sharp shuttle]

Then why do they force all the employees back to their office buildings?

[exotic pendant]

I mean it's hit or miss a lot of the times

knowing where and how to look

[lofty marsh]

I never knew they did that..

Anyway enough for today I'm peacing out

Cya dudes

[exotic pendant]

I boought a new car, paid off debt and got money for a nice downpayment on a home

after taxes

[lofty marsh]

probably this friday again

[west venture]

The reason I don't like doing it is writing reports. Like here the PoC take it or leave it I'm not going to babysit you ,😭

[west venture]

Damnnm

[supple plume]

Imagine someone pays you to do a pentest and then they ask:
Did you find something?
Yes
What did you find?
Who tf knows I'm not babysitting here I used python

[west venture]

Are the things you test mostly secure or do they have pretty easy vulnerabilities on average

[sharp shuttle]

What did you find?
2 criticals
Cool. Take those out of the report.

average real world pentest

"We do not accept them"

Rubberstamping is tough work

[exotic pendant]

I try to hit stuff that's popular

like Hyper-V, RDP, PHP, etc

[west venture]

straight on sale on the dark web

I also got a few RCEs on steam

That's probably hardened aaf

Unless you have nested brokers, you are a loose end when a 0day is sold

I don't even know what a nested broker is 🥀

[frozen zinc]

@sharp shuttle what do you think about people like Chris Rock (the mercenary)

[sharp shuttle]

It means many middle men

[supple plume]

Sounds nasty

[sharp shuttle]

I have no idea what you are talking about

[west venture]

I got a RCE in the boot rom of the MediaTek MT6739 chipset, after working on it for days, just so I can unlock it's carrier lock but since it cannot be patched it's not considered as a CVE

[sharp shuttle]

You found a 0day?

[west venture]

Idk

whoami is just an echo

echo $USER

[sharp shuttle]

whoami exists for easy skid identification

if you alias whoami/who you can catch skids in seconds

[exotic pendant]

Whoami exists for scripting

🔥

[sharp shuttle]

skridpting

[west venture]

What do you use instead?

[supple plume]

He yells to the computer directly

"Who the fuck you think you are"

[sharp shuttle]

stat -c "%U" $(tty)

thats how real g's do it

[west venture]

You can also echo $USER

[sharp shuttle]

thats still obvious

[supple plume]

That's not very handy for scripting tho

[misty hamlet]

Hey everyone don’t get on much to chat I really should

So Iv been on htb for a little bit now just on a year or so and Iv been plucking away in the academy it’s great and all that but I feel like I’m not learning because I’m not putting anything in to actual practice I’m not doing boxes just the training
I’m currently doing a level 2 in intro to cyber security in college (not at all practical all the legal stuff)

But I’m going to start an boxes and was wondering if there’s anyone out there a few days a week just working on them so we could practically learn? Instead of just checking boxes and never using it the knowledge

Sorry for the long ass message

[sharp shuttle]

Just watch ippsec videos broski

you can go through them with him

[fathom pawn]

are they walkthroughs?

[sharp shuttle]

yes

[rancid snow]

I feel like if youre already concerned about them detecting your terminal activities youre already doing it wrong and shouldnt be using a terminal for that op

[fathom pawn]

but i feel like watching walkthroughs won't help me learn, or is that the wrong mentality

[supple plume]

#1318239802931286066

[sharp shuttle]

No its moreso when a user gets on, they run who/whoami, its an easy alias to kill the session and lock the computer

or just log it

honeypot 101

[supple plume]

Aliasing it to rm -rf no perverser root

[rancid snow]

sure, but im saying if youre the attacker and worried that it could be a honeypot tracking whoami, you should be employing different tactics entirely rather than trying to evade it with something like stat blah blah

[west venture]

alias whoami to "your mom"

[supple plume]

Everytime I run who I can see the face of Eminem asking "wH0o?

[sharp shuttle]

I gotcha, im just making a suggestion

[supple plume]

alias whoami='echo'

[rancid snow]

itd make for a hilarious htb box gotcha

[sharp shuttle]

noted

[rancid snow]

make sure you snag id too

[sharp shuttle]

yeah i would just only allow one form of user id to work

[supple plume]

It would be hilarious to alias id to some ass function that finds the process of the rev shell and kills it

[rancid snow]

ez

just alias it to exit

[rapid badger]

alias id='vim' gg

[sharp shuttle]

yes thats how i usually write it

[supple plume]

Easy but how to smugle it to bypass the htb submission review

[frigid belfry]

Is this server migrating because of Discord age verification coming?

[supple plume]

Maybe with some function that checks time like 1 month ahead to activate

[sharp shuttle]

submissions are just automated scripts

[molten bobcat]

No, this server will be unaffected

[supple plume]

Bre

[rancid snow]

I will affect it

[west venture]

If you have a honeypot can you make money by snitching on hackers?

[rancid snow]

no

[west venture]

Then why have one

[sharp shuttle]

no you will actually lose money

millions of bots will connect every day

[frigid belfry]

This is actually a global implementation for age verification

[sharp shuttle]

you put them in your corporate infra near beachhead machines

[rancid snow]

nothings stopping you from setting up a honeypot right now. Its mostly just for research purposes. Youll never catch someone interesting unless you work for an interesting place that allows you to set one up

nobody is blasting a ssh 0day across the internet for your rando ssh honeypot to catch

[west venture]

Every day, more and more things tell me that being ethical is not the way forward

[rancid snow]

The Equation Group isnt guessing root/root just to see whats on your box either

[sharp shuttle]

Yeah..

Its hard.

[rancid snow]

Nah, being a criminal is work

[sharp shuttle]

Just so you know those research jobs are just selling 0days

[rancid snow]

its a harder job than a legitimate 40hr work week

[sharp shuttle]

Even if you are ethical you are harming people

Keep that in mind

[west venture]

Like do pen testing on public bug bounties, when you find 0days, sell them on the dark web no writing reports, nothing, just easy money

[sharp shuttle]

Easy money lol

[rancid snow]

a week of blackhat hacking for $$ is backed up by months/years worth of money laundering to actually enjoy your gains

Also I literally live in a cave in tnr middle of the woods ain't nobody catching me

[sharp shuttle]

Starlink lidar scans you jerkin it in your cave whenever the azimuth aligns

Im just saying anyone who thinks blackhat is easy money has either not put the effort into actually reasoning out the logisitics and amount of work involved, or theyre begging to get caught immediately

i woke up

[west venture]

It's like 4 am

[sharp shuttle]

you are chinese?

its about 4pm for me

[west venture]

I am asian yes

[sharp shuttle]

I will dig a hole to you

[rancid snow]

haha fool. youve narrowed down your hemisphere

[west venture]

That's the minimum I'll ever go

[sharp shuttle]

whats your address if thats the case

[wanton dock]

do we have to use parrot for the cpts?

[sharp shuttle]

no

[wanton dock]

ty

[west venture]

Also I live on a remote uninhabited Island in the middle of the specific ocean

[sharp shuttle]

i used macOS

[stable tiger]

parrot 7.1 is so fucking slow bro

every vm i try it in it shits itself, no matter the specs i give the vm

[cerulean knoll]

True

😭

[stable tiger]

genuinely ragebaiting me

i even swapped my hypervisor from virtualbox to vmware to see if that was the issue

changed my processor affinity to ensure it was using my p cores

no

its just shit

ragebait.

[sharp shuttle]

If its slow you need more cpu

thats like the simple and the big of it

[stable tiger]

I gave it all of my performance cores

And gave it gpu acceleration

[sharp shuttle]

gpu?

in a vm

i wouldnt do that

[rancid snow]

oh you finally did it at some point? what did you think of it?

[stable tiger]

i tried with both

on and off

[sharp shuttle]

Hard as shit

[west venture]

Just use khali

https://tenor.com/view/barney-rubble-the-flintstones-digging-dirt-dig-with-shovel-digs-a-hole-gif-19273256

[sharp shuttle]

took two attempts

[stable tiger]

i am

ragebaited me too hard

[rancid snow]

same. I think I could have done it in one attempt had I taken the full week off from work

I wonder how hard itd be for me now, but no way to find out

[wanton dock]

do u have cpts?

[west venture]

Even that's too bloated. Real hackers use a lightweight debian base and install tools manually

[sharp shuttle]

In any case there is no doubt its better than OSCP

[rancid snow]

yup

[stable tiger]

shame its the gatekept cert

[obtuse fern]

Not yet, im debating on doing it before I finish my bach

[wanton dock]

why do you offer coaching for it

[sharp shuttle]

Its not you just put your CPTS (OSCP equivalent) on resume

yall not real hackers

[rancid snow]

real hackers still use kali so that way if their VM is sigged the metadata just looks like everyone else using kali as well

[stable tiger]

hr filters for it

here anyway

[obtuse fern]

Real hackers are in the wires

[rancid snow]

custom setup means custom metadata signature

[sharp shuttle]

no they dont bro

HR doesnt even read your resume anymore

Its all AI bots

they look for the keyword, OSCP

[obtuse fern]

Because Ive completed the course and have, generally, provided good guidance and help for modules.

[sharp shuttle]

thats it

[west venture]

Marcie, just FYI, I am in your walls

[stable tiger]

thats my point

[sharp shuttle]

and i just told you how to do it

and it works

[wanton dock]

why dont you take the exam

[sharp shuttle]

and its true

[obtuse fern]

Im not worried, im in other peoples walls

[sharp shuttle]

this line

[stable tiger]

ah alr

[sharp shuttle]

• HTB CPTS (OSCP Equivalent)

and do that with any other certs on the jd

[obtuse fern]

Time commitment. Im prioritizing my time:

• job hunt
• degree
• other stuff

[raven rain]

HTB CPTS (CompTIA A+ equivalent)

[sharp shuttle]

[rancid snow]

cpts is like a 10 day exam. it can be extremely difficult to get the time off for it if youre paycheck to paycheck

[raven rain]

[sharp shuttle]

I failed my first CPTS, make sure you dedicate the full 10 days

[raven rain]

only 10 days

[sharp shuttle]

Its not that long if you have responsibilities

[obtuse fern]

It's a 10 day exam yes, but I'd rather not be stressing about other stuff while also taking the exam. Been there, done that, wasnt fun

[wanton dock]

did you fail?

[obtuse fern]

I was in a state of heavy burnout for a while

[raven rain]

yes it's not long if you don't dedicate every breath taking it, but i haven't seen any other exams give you 10 days to finish

not even college gave me that much time
