[mighty scroll]

Yup did everything

[maiden anvil]

in a meeting bbiaf

[scenic maple]

Thats really strange

[mighty scroll]

Yup. Now i am trying to start new instance let's see

Again same issue 🙁

[thick forge]

[young glen]

Today I installed openSUSE on a VM

[thick forge]

now i can

[sturdy thistle]

kypanz sir

[thick forge]

sir mickhat

[eternal mango]

Where is medusa referenced in academy please?

[thick forge]

[eternal mango]

I can see that it's available in the parrot repo in one area, but not another

Could be that an update got fudged and needs attention

@mighty scroll

[mighty scroll]

Interseting

what will be the fix now\

[sturdy thistle]

Best is to open up a support ticket maybe

[eternal mango]

Can you answer the question please?

Or yeah, support is your best bet I imagine.

[sturdy thistle]

^

[eternal mango]

All I can do is gather information and pass it back to the team

[sturdy thistle]

u know that this is the hack the box discord?

[mighty scroll]

Login Brute force module in CPTS learning PATH

[thick forge]

whats that

[hollow kayak]

just asking

[eternal mango]

Thank you, I'll be back home soon and can mention it to the team, unless you can help and pass that on Mickhat?

Bit late for the gr people

[sturdy thistle]

Still the best to open a ticket

[eternal mango]

But seems like that package should be available to install, it is not..

[sturdy thistle]

so we can gather it

[eternal mango]

Yes for sure

[sturdy thistle]

@mighty scroll

[mighty scroll]

First time i faced an issue

[eternal mango]

Listen to Mickhat

[west lynx]

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

[sturdy thistle]

at least once

[exotic pendant]

[mighty scroll]

SUre i will go and open a support ticket

[sturdy thistle]

listen to g0blin, when he says listen to mickhat

can we pin that

@scenic maple

[sturdy thistle]

😂

[sturdy thistle]

you'll deserve a raise

[exotic pendant]

😄 Emma always listening

[lime trout]

I am everywhere

[carmine heron]

any channel with roadmaps?

[sturdy thistle]

more time

[thick forge]

who needs job when are hackers

[sturdy thistle]

oh and don't listen this time to me

[thick forge]

[mighty scroll]

Support agent says medusa is not available in pwn box. It's limited packages.

The module is teaching Medusa. I think i have to use then other tool

[thick forge]

medusa is more fast i think

wich module is it

[heavy oak]

OMFG, I need to vent. I just spent entirely too long on Comparison Operators. I've done scripting prior but the syntax needed to get that answer was a SOB. Okay done.

[scenic maple]

[mighty scroll]

Login Brute force

[eternal mango]

Yeaaah, that doesn't sound right.. apologies

[mighty scroll]

I understand you want to learn Medusa specifically, but it's not available on Academy Pwnbox. Here's how Medusa works conceptually:

🙁

[thick forge]

searching

[eternal mango]

Yeah, something definitely doesn't seem right there eagle005. Again, apologies.. there being a whole section for medusa, and the intended path is to use medusa, it not being available to install from the parrot deb repo on pwnbox is certainly not correct.

I'll raise that internally. All I can suggest for now is to move on. Could be a recent update broke that package install path

[mighty scroll]

I am trying to solve using other tool as of now. Later i can come and check again.

[sturdy thistle]

Even the Solution says how to install medusa and how to use it

i think the agent is wrong

[eternal mango]

Ah, that Medusa section is not interactive

[mighty scroll]

I tried exact same way as per mdoule everything, still i am getting same error

[eternal mango]

so yeah.. it documents HOW to use medusa, but it is not available.. that still doesn't make much sense tbh

You'll just want to move over the medusa module for now until the issue with the package is resolved on the Pwnbox / parrot image, sorry.

[lofty marsh]

Has anyone ever used nixOs?

[sturdy thistle]

ye

[lofty marsh]

How is it?

[thick forge]

i was searching in the instanced spawned and i am searching for the medusa package, but i dont find it, maybe i am looking in the wrong path

[mighty scroll]

No worries. I will check later on to that module.

[mighty scroll]

I think the package is not there anymore in the spawned instances.

[eternal mango]

The package is in the parrot repo, however dependencies are out of line, meaning it cannot be installed

Like I said, I've made the team aware of it, and it'll get resolved

[mighty scroll]

Thanks for the support.

[meager kernel]

Whats medusa?

[sturdy thistle]

https://academy.hackthebox.com/module/57/section/512

[obtuse fern]

medusa is on the jump host

ssh in -> use medusa

oh wait i was thinking of a different module that references medusa

[sturdy thistle]

too much medusa

[eternal mango]

Yeah, I did actually read before speaking this time

[lofty marsh]

Can't hydra do that too?

[obtuse fern]

yes

medusa is just hydra with more threading

[lofty marsh]

Oh that's what I was gonna ask next

nice

[obtuse fern]

(this is heavily simplified explanation)

there's likely some other internal things that make medusa more different

[eternal mango]

I did also try to fetch the deb package and install it, but a number of libs need to have their version bumped

..and I'm sure trying to bump those libs would break other package deps

[lofty marsh]

Im looking to put linux on my working laptop but I dont know what..

[obtuse fern]

i blame diablo

[sharp shuttle]

🐝 ablo

[lofty marsh]

Brath woke up

[sharp shuttle]

I havent slept

[obtuse fern]

parrot would generally be what people recommend, I don't recommend throwing Kali on any system baremetal you want to use daily

in a vm; kali, parrot, hannah montana OS

(the besssst of both worlds)

[sharp shuttle]

I recommend U🐝ntu

[lofty marsh]

I dont want a pentesting distro on my working laptop so much... I want a decent one for dev and vms

[obtuse fern]

why not U🅱️untu

[lofty marsh]

I was thinking either fedora or nixOs

[zealous charm]

@maiden anvil what’s crackalackin

[obtuse fern]

parrot is a security distro first and foremost; the fact you can do pentesting on it is a bonus

any linux OS you can do pentesting from really

[lofty marsh]

Nah parrot isnt really my style... I used it as a dualboot once and I didnt like it so much

[obtuse fern]

fair enough ¯_(ツ)_/¯

but i wouldn't go with fedora or nix personally, if you're gonna go that far might as well install arch (btw)

[lofty marsh]

classic 🥀

The thing is it would be nice if it was debian based since Im mostly fluent on it

[obtuse fern]

Parrot is debian based

LOL

[sharp shuttle]

De🐝 an

[obtuse fern]

so is Kali

[lofty marsh]

I know but I dont like parrot 💀

kali shouldnt be an everyday distro

[obtuse fern]

Parrot 7 is based on the latest Debian build, Trixie

[lofty marsh]

The love of parrot bro 💀

[sharp shuttle]

De🐝 an Trix🐝

[obtuse fern]

it's worked well for me ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[molten bobcat]

I liked magic back when I had friends to play with in person

[fair bay]

I’ve never played a tcg

[sharp shuttle]

i loved magic until spongebob amd hotwheels cards

[molten bobcat]

I hope you know those are just "fun card arts" and not actual prints

[fair bay]

I got a stack of pokemon cards mysteriously appearing in my car after a tune up, bout as close as I got

[molten bobcat]

Blightsteel Collossus has an alternate art that makes him Megatron

DO AS I COMMAAAAND

[sharp shuttle]

its lame imo, its only cool if its high fantasy

[safe bough]

I built a programming language which is faster and more secure than python but as simple as python

[sharp shuttle]

its nostalgia bait

[eternal mango]

@mighty scroll not recommended, as may break other stuff.. but I got medusa to install by doing an apt update, upgrade, update and then install medusa.. however that flow updates A LOT of packages, essentially a dist-upgrade it seems

[molten bobcat]

The final fantasy cards are well designed

[sharp shuttle]

i agree

it makes sense

i have no issue with ff

[eternal mango]

If you really want to do that section, that should work for you, but it's the long way round in place of an actual fix for the Pwnbox image

[sharp shuttle]

i have issue with spoderman

[molten bobcat]

Zach fair can sacrifice himself to protect cloud strife and make him inherit his equipment, the buster sword

All of the cards have synergy with each other that makes common sense

It makes my brain happy

[sharp shuttle]

Magic is fucked, so is pokemon, so is yu gi oh, hearthstone wins

[molten bobcat]

Phoenix downs resurrect dead creatures and it can be used offensively against undead enemies just like in the game

Yaay

[sharp shuttle]

lol

[mighty scroll]

That’s wired though

[molten bobcat]

And then we have Kefka committing war crimes!!

[eternal mango]

It really is

[ornate ibex]

https://lichess.org/U67eSV3tjKnm 🙃

[eternal mango]

It's due to dependencies for medusa being pending in that upgrade

Once you upgrade, then update the repo medusa then is available thanks to updated deps

[mighty scroll]

@eternal mango is there other way. Otherwise i will have to skip this tool and rely on hydra more

[eternal mango]

But it's the long way round for sure 😐

[frozen zinc]

I hated when they nerfed the Jitte

and broke me financially

[eternal mango]

I just spent the past 40 minutes figuring that way out @mighty scroll

[molten bobcat]

Apparently it's still used in a lot of equipment decks

[frozen zinc]

but now is super cheap

[bold snow]

all htb certs are digital i think u have to be one of the earliest people to receive the physical cert and some gadgets along w it

[eternal mango]

I should've just run those commands first, but instead I had to dig through all the dependncies in the repo

[frozen zinc]

i will check actually

[sharp shuttle]

what

you can buy a physical cert

[eternal mango]

That's not true @bold snow

[bold snow]

sorry idk much of details

[eternal mango]

lol what

[sharp shuttle]

so dont mislead people

[mighty scroll]

I think leave medusa .. and find alternative tools

[bold snow]

i said what I thought was true could you enlighten both of us?

[molten bobcat]

I mean you were wrong

That's the answer lol

[mighty scroll]

I will try that long way once

[bold snow]

thanks

[molten bobcat]

It's okay to be wrong

[frozen zinc]

DAMN MY TOLARIAN ACADEMY COST MORE THAN 100 EUROS NOW

[molten bobcat]

[molten bobcat]

I'll just play it for fun on tabletop sim

[sharp shuttle]

[frozen zinc]

i got it for free from my older cousin

It's all just digital for fun anyway

Y'know for people who like the game and not throwing money into cardboard lol

NO ONE in this server would be like that

does this server have vc? I ain't seeing none, is that right?

[sharp shuttle]

The general channels tab has several voice channels

You may not be able to view them without verifying your account?

I am unsure

[fading mulch]

I'm verified. I see that there's General chit-chat and no more

I did 2 contract meetings, worked out, and made spicy ramen and eggs since we last argued

I feel like i should sell before they launch it in a new edition

[lofty marsh]

Thm is like the kardashians bro

[eternal mango]

@mighty scroll a staff member has provider a better work around for getting medusa installed on the Pwnbox

echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian-bookworm.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install medusa

This is not ideal, but it's a work around until the Pwnbox image is properly updated

[molten bobcat]

Niiiiiiiiiiiiice collection dude

[jaunty pulsar]

nah this is the best description I heard of it

[sharp shuttle]

cloud say "big bad brathadaddy gimme sum lovin"

thm is at least theoretically hands on

[lofty marsh]

Hell to the no 💀

Hell

no

It's less recognised

[jaunty pulsar]

I disagree lol

[eternal mango]

Yay, little credit card addition to the drawer of forgotten toys is finally shipping

[jaunty pulsar]

at least comptia's certs have a reputation

[eternal mango]

I can't wait to play with it once or twice and then place it in its forever home

[molten bobcat]

He's gonna.. kiss u..

[rancid snow]

I didnt say shit about recognized.

but thm at least nominally has you stepping through activities. Sec+ is multiple choice.

[stuck sail]

Sec+ is for getting past HR, the content itself is mid at best

[lofty marsh]

Put two dudes in the job market one with thm and one with sec+ and tell me again 💀

[molten bobcat]

My sec+ is expired kek

[rancid snow]

I aint saying shit about job market either

[lofty marsh]

2/3 companies wont even know what thm cert is

[jaunty pulsar]

fair but still sec+ has a place in ur resume, unlike "top 1% in THM"

[lofty marsh]

Ah aight then its a different story

[eternal mango]

Can you stop with the shitting on other companies please

[lofty marsh]

aight sorry

[rancid snow]

Im strictly speaking that in terms of actually improving yourself, thm edges out sec+ marginally

[jaunty pulsar]

ok

[eternal mango]

There's an opinion, and there's.. well, look up lol

[lofty marsh]

@fair bay While the "alligators in the sewer" story is a famous NYC urban legend dating to the 1930s, it is mostly myth, though not entirely impossible. While they cannot survive long in cold, toxic, or dark sewer systems, smaller, escaped exotic pets have occasionally been found in drainpipes in warmer, coastal cities. -Gemini

[eternal mango]

Chuck it $50 or something on an org plan, or fork out for the monthly. $50 on org takes you a very long way, and the monthly plans are pretty difficult to saturate, even with multiple agents operating constantly.

Like, reversing / humanising a relatively large binary cost less than $30 on a project a while ago on older models

[silver forge]

I have a monthly plan, the middle one...

[upbeat tangle]

@fiery copper Hows the studying going mario brother

[silver forge]

I'm mostly using opus though, not sonnet

[zealous charm]

if you run claude code a lot I recommend the max plan

[eternal mango]

No way you burn a days usage in a few prompts

[fiery copper]

Pretty mid tbh

[silver forge]

couple days ago I had one (1) prompt that burnt my daily quota.

[eternal mango]

The context window simply is not large enough to do that

[fiery copper]

Wtf bro got a new rank

[eternal mango]

But ok if you say you're doing it, well.. time to upgrade to the $200 plan to enable acceleration

Like even using their 1m context on pre-paid doesn't even burn more than a few dollars

[zealous charm]

200 plan lets you basically run 2 claude code terminal sessions all working day

[upbeat tangle]

So how far off the exam are you now

[fiery copper]

If I wanna be honest pretty far cuz I also started playing chess

Pretty far from the goal

[upbeat tangle]

thats cool, theres no rush anyway. i waited many years before doing anything productive

Try openai codex, it's free (to me atleast - haven't received any bills , and i hope I don't) and see how good it is

[fiery copper]

Oh you are trying the new model for coding?

[manic anvil]

dude i feel like the season machine is mocking me

is there a chance a machine could be broken?

[upbeat tangle]

Pterodactyl?

[devout sail]

Nop

[fiery copper]

Imagine the next month u get a 100k bill

That would go crazy

[upbeat tangle]

Its working as intended, there is a small detail that can easily be overlooked

[devout sail]

I'll just tell them to take me to Ai jai ل

[manic anvil]

beside ports enumeration its showing nothing like literally no matter what i use

[devout sail]

Hm? You don't even need much scanning if u read properly tbh

More than that would get me bonked, cuz active machine

[manic anvil]

ok i will go over everything again

[warped plank]

I'mma bonk you cos you talking bout boxes in general chat instead of #boxes

[devout sail]

Do it for like 6h

I'll be sleeping for that itme

[zealous charm]

I've used codex a bit but still prefer claude. Especially now with the chatgpt.com/cyber stuff

[devout sail]

I never saw the /cyber thing

[zealous charm]

Yeah they annouced they will require KYC to do any cyberz stuff

I freakin' love this TUI framework for Python https://github.com/Textualize/textual

Uh, is there a way to report a bug to the HTB staff

[eternal mango]

You can send us /feedback 🙂

Depends on the bug.. do you mean something security related, or a bug on the platform

Like.. what's the bug?

If unsure, just pass it over to us with the /feedback command, but for anything security related those reports go through https://hackerone.com/hack_the_box

[warm ravine]

@eternal mango sent

Ok, I'd suggest asking for some guidance in #starting-point instead

Does any one know when hack day competition will be ?

They closed their discord channel for no reason

So I cant ask there

[eternal mango]

What is hack day competition?

Is there a website or something, a CTF I assume?

[daring bane]

Of course! It’s a global ctf competition

[daring bane]

From france

Let me show you the website maybe you’ll know it

[eternal mango]

I see the site

[daring bane]

https://hackday.fr/en/home/

[eternal mango]

I mean it says the dates there, unless there's an event they removed between the qualification and final?

[daring bane]

Semi finals are deleted

[eternal mango]

Aha I see

[daring bane]

Thanks

[eternal mango]

Not sure I deserve any thanks 🤣 but I'll take it

[daring bane]

The problem is that The competition is not well organized The rules say that graduates can only compete if they are still enrolled in universities However, one qualified team had an adult member Later, I found that another qualified team also had an adult member

The problem is that the organizers do not ask for proof

[eternal mango]

mmm.. not sure we can really help with that I'm afraid, very much an issue for the organisers

Fingers crossed you still get to compete with your team

[random aurora]

I get out of cybersecurity

Thank u everyone

[daring bane]

Yesss your right

[daring bane]

It’s not that hard

Do you think is worth to add the Insomnia Attack to my notes?

Seems ultra patched no?

I guess servers are to quick nowadays for this?

[eternal mango]

I wouldn't assume too much 😅

[frozen zinc]

Could i slow down the processing of the exploit somehow so much that the race condition will work?

bcs is still there

[eternal mango]

You can certainly look at a target and time endpoints to find those that tax the server the most

[frozen zinc]

omg yes

but that normally would go against the BBH rules no?

[eternal mango]

Well yeah, generally stressing a target would not be allowed under most bounty scopes

There was a CTF at a HTB engineering meetup a few years ago

One of the challenges required us to find expensive endpoints in order to dos the target, resulting in a crash of the appliance

..after which the flag was revealed

That was fun

[frozen zinc]

wow

that sound fun as hell

so different from normal ctfs

[eternal mango]

As it was an internal one, I think the creators felt they could have a bit more fun with it, while keeping it approachable for the teams involved

[lofty marsh]

There was 1v1 ctf too I heard

[eternal mango]

Damn that was like 3 or 4 years ago now

[lofty marsh]

why did you guys take that away?

You mean Battlegrounds?

[lofty marsh]

yes

[frozen zinc]

so cool

[eternal mango]

#📣-announcements message

[lofty marsh]

aww man...

It would've been fun

[eternal mango]

TLDR they weren't really utilised enough to warrant keeping them going I don't think, and ultimately we couldn't give them the focus to keep the content and scenarios fresh without impacting the rest of the content development cycles (academy, labs, ctfs, everything)

Would love to see it come back in some form one day

[lofty marsh]

I mean yeah that makes sense then..

Sad that I didnt manage to try it out since I joined cybersecurity later 🥲
