[azure remnant]

I once did it for a module question

Mods came out from the discord screen and slaped me

bad sacrifice

I'd rather sleep now

And wake on

11am

[lofty marsh]

Cant remember the last time I had that much sleep 💀

[devout sail]

i woke up at 6pm

[lofty marsh]

I am developing dark circles

ffs

[azure remnant]

I got some work these days i do like a section every week

Bare minimum to keep the streak alive

Dam

That took me like 2 weeks

[lofty marsh]

By the way I was gonna start labs with ippsec vids and I even asked it on cubetalks AND HE ANSWERED but my fucking discord crashed 🥀

Im now waiting for it to go on spotify

[azure remnant]

Although i did the infosec foundations path but i feel i lacked some prerequests

[azure remnant]

Broo the luck

Me

[lofty marsh]

Me unfortunately

Vanished to oblivion as soon as I stepped foot here

[azure remnant]

I was on thm for like 4 months

Before migrating

Mainly because u get a respectable cert out of htb

Thm was games compared to htb

[lofty marsh]

Dudes there is no benefit in thm 💀

None..

Not even learning wise

[azure remnant]

Im on 82% of the pentest track for more than a month bruuuh

[lofty marsh]

Its a scam bro

Complete 🐶 💩

[azure remnant]

The only

And only

Thing thats better there

Is the VPN

Gonna admit

The RDP machines on htb modules are a pain

[lofty marsh]

With openvpn its heaven..

no flaw

[azure remnant]

Ive been having many issues

Till now

It is always broken

When i contact support

It fixes itself

RDP even connects for some seconds or dont connect at all

Would appreciate it

When i reach a windows host section ill dm u

Rdp to target machines

Not so far for windows privesc

Yeah u got a lonf way there

Im just making sure i finish before i graduate

For the student email discount

[tawny gale]

ik this is htb discord. but what would be better to start with htb or tryhack me

[crude island]

Thm is a good starting point for new beginners but at some point you do need to switch to htb

[tawny gale]

why

[supple plume]

is getting better I think

[tawny gale]

alright. Thank you

had me a logo

[crude island]

Htb?

I haven't started there yet since I am still pretty new to cyber security

[austere sinew]

Wut

Shudufugup do not do that to donut

Wha did you buy

@sturdy thistle

[crude island]

Does it have the same type of learning paths ?.

Htb academy right

[dense turtle]

ye i started with thm too, but htb is superior

[crude island]

Seems the htb academy is a solid place

[supple plume]

looking better already

[dense turtle]

is it this one ? VMware-Workstation-Full-25H2-24995812.x86_64.bundle(295.19 MB)

295mb?

[terse dirge]

Why VMware?

Just use virtualbox

[dense turtle]

I tried virtual box on zorin and didnt worked dunno why, while vmware perfectly

user issue probably ik

[terse dirge]

It is a skill issue. Make sure you install the proper kernel modules with virtualbox and modprobe them

What distro?

Lmao. Did you install it the old way or the archinstall way

[winged willow]

im gonna pay u

[terse dirge]

It's not that difficult to install arch tbh.

hmmm

[dense turtle]

Thank you. If anything comes up, I’ll get in touch. That’s very kind of you.
I honestly don’t even know why I’m still installing things on Pop_os, I just switched and I’m already starting to hate it. Looks like it might be time for me to move to Arch lol.

[past wigeon]

whats there to learn, you just start something then iterate, just like the test itself. here's my current notes

obsidian on the rec of lots of folks here

and the rec is solid. it works great

recommendations

my notes are very basic while i simulatenously construct my ladder as i climb it. if you follow what im saying.

[river adder]

I saw u was talking of thm vs htb

[past wigeon]

they're not very uh... "professional" but at my current point they dont need to be

[river adder]

Up in the messages

[past wigeon]

and if i decide, after a box, that i want to present this or put it in a portfolio or something, at that point would i formalize it. these are rough drafts but more than that while i bootstrap my own learning

[river adder]

I would like to know why htb is better than thm

[past wigeon]

why is coke better than pepsi? it just is

maybe, or just your own github repo

[river adder]

Is it better in which things? Just curiosity cuz im thinking about the annual

[past wigeon]

im not sure how to answer that, i didnt spend much time on THM it just wasnt for me. i knew it wasnt very early on

[dense turtle]

I came from Windows 10 to Mint, from Mint to Zorin, now Pop_OS and one of these days when I feel like it I’ll install Arch too.

[past wigeon]

i came here with some fundamentals already though

[river adder]

Same for me

[dense turtle]

u guys from spain ?

10:39 here

pt

[past wigeon]

No pero bienvienido.

[dense turtle]

Bobber kurwaa haha

[sleek sedge]

Because htb is more realistic and thm is more like “game” and read a lot of stuff. Htb is more hands on

[supple plume]

chat what looks bad in this picture exactly

[sleek sedge]

The language is what exactly?

[supple plume]

I feel like there is something wrong

[sleek sedge]

It’s look like rust and JavaScript together

[supple plume]

is sample code of python it doesnt matter

[sleek sedge]

Sorry I read the image before 🤣

[supple plume]

this is typescript

what color then

[dense turtle]

red!

[supple plume]

nooo

it would look awful

look

[supple plume]

see red is bad for comments

[sleek sedge]

Test the comments in black

[supple plume]

black would render them invisible

[sleek sedge]

Exactly

[dense turtle]

im kidding, for commenst u should have reserved the grey in my opinion

[supple plume]

what about here

[exotic pendant]

Problem is it's not Rust

[supple plume]

what mods there is available here for me?

[sleek sedge]

He’s vangog

[supple plume]

[molten bobcat]

you'd have to shuffle the pieces around a bit more for van gogh

[supple plume]

it doesnt look bad tbh but it breaks my 1 color theme

[dense turtle]

u have a lot of comments lmao, i thouts were less

[sleek sedge]

[river adder]

What is this stuff friend look really hard

[supple plume]

[supple plume]

bash scripts (sample code)

[river adder]

I know this

But bash scripts no

[dense turtle]

do you guys prefer VirtualBox over VMware? Why?

[supple plume]

what is it

[supple plume]

I prefer docker

[river adder]

What are the bash scripts

[supple plume]

bash is a language that introduces the craziest tech debt of all times

in terms of maintainability

[river adder]

Bash is the language of linux terminal

Or not?

[supple plume]

heck yeah

[river adder]

https://tenor.com/view/bravo-gif-gif-8524601943548603280

ill be fighting data box tmrw, wish me luck

[dense turtle]

how much ram should i allocate for parrot vm? I see 6gb fully used wtf lol

[devout sail]

Creation?
Well idk how to explain it
You plan for the stuff
And setup the whole VM

[molten bobcat]

It's going to appear as fully in use because operating systems require memory to function

[sharp shuttle]

youd think people would just knowthat..

its obvious, no?

[molten bobcat]

Well, allocated doesn't necessarily mean currently in use

So I'm okay with clarifying

[sharp shuttle]

right

oh well

[molten bobcat]

But when it comes to operating systems they gotta actively have memory blocked off for itself

[dense turtle]

wdymgoing to appear? i just started the vm , running nothing and it says 0 free

[molten bobcat]

So it'll sit on a designated chunk of memory

[molten bobcat]

How much RAM does the host machine have?

[dense turtle]

16

The parrot documentation says the recommended is 2gb

https://parrotsec.org/docs/virtualization/

[dense turtle]

lol forget i was looking at file systems 5.6 must be the .iso

its using 1gb out of 6

https://tenor.com/view/pg-id-gif-14349705449470265708

[devout sail]

I give mine 4GB and it just works

Just don't ask it to crack hahses

[dense turtle]

crack hashes?

[molten bobcat]

Passwords are commonly stored as hashes

Cryptographic hashes

Certain algorithms of hashes are vulnerable to different methods of brute force guessing the password via large word lists

[dense turtle]

i knoww, but didnt tried yet crack them tbh

[molten bobcat]

Yeh what I'm explaining is

The process of cracking passwords requires ram

Physically, you need memory to do this

Sometimes it'll fail if the host has less than 4gb available, things like that

[dense turtle]

i thought it was gpu task

[molten bobcat]

You can make it use a GPU, yes

[dense turtle]

ah 2 ways nice

[molten bobcat]

But if you run the program inside of a VM, you can't access your GPU without some teeth pulling

[dense turtle]

hm

[molten bobcat]

Which is why programs like hashcat

Which we can use for password cracking

Have windows binaries

[dense turtle]

rent on octa can be a good choice for complicated tasks

[molten bobcat]

I don't crack passwords on a vm, my host operating system has a good GPU and ram so I use it there

Usually pretty fast. I can get through the RockYou wordlist in seconds or less

Oh, btw

If cracking something on htb is an intended path it will use the RockYou.txt wordlist

[obtuse fern]

yup it's in Da Rules

[dense turtle]

i cracked my wifi with that list once i think

[molten bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/fairly-oddparents-gif-22646087

[molten bobcat]

Means your Wi-Fi password needs CHANGED brotha

[obtuse fern]

or there's an explicit way to find the password/rules to create a pw list to test with

[dense turtle]

12345678? nah its good

lmao

[molten bobcat]

I disagree

[sharp shuttle]

how did you crack your wifi

[molten bobcat]

I remember how I cracked mine

I stole the wpa2 handshake by de-authing my father's laptop off the network when he pissed me off one night.

[dense turtle]

lemme see if i find the program

[sharp shuttle]

and there we go

[dense turtle]

day after on wireshark watching my grandma browsing yt links 😂

[obtuse fern]

cloud, did you know you have data stored inside you at this very moment waiting to get accessed?

[sharp shuttle]

ill drain that data and consume it

[dense turtle]

this was literally after watching mr robot series lmao

[sharp shuttle]

yes, i know. 90% of people ive trained say this

[obtuse fern]

like; 99% of it is "FUCK WHY CAN'T I GET THIS TO WORK"

(it was a typo in the PoC)

[molten bobcat]

See I was inspired by teacher

Mostly just because I didn't understand why the hell he told me to switch majors

[solemn edge]

I'm able to get nmap the new box but i can't curl it

is that intended

(i've nmaped it)

[dense turtle]

the cards themselves arent this issue, its the chipset

sometimes you get unlucky and get a realtek chipset in your alfa

alfa equipment is fantastic

Broadcom too, fuck broadcom

Time to go back to bed and read more code

[alpine pumice]

Almost true

[dense turtle]

do u read code like normal people read books?

[alpine pumice]

You also don't want a wifi adapters that require NETLINK dependency

[dense turtle]

dont have an idea what even is Netlink dependency but will search about it

[alpine pumice]

https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi/blob/main/home/Recommended_Adapters_for_Kali_Linux.md and https://github.com/ZerBea/hcxdumptool/wiki/WiFi-Adapters are good resources

[dense turtle]

thanks, going to make coffee and read them

[alpine pumice]

EDUP EP-AX1672 best bang for buck imo

thanks , look nice

support both monitor and injection?

[alpine pumice]

AD is ez

[meager kernel]

Its hard windows machine
When you open it in HTB app, it shows its a assumed breached scenario

[alpine pumice]

take some academy modules

[meager kernel]

Im doing the AD enumeration and attacks module

[alpine pumice]

bloodhound + netexec = gg ad

but also learn ADCS and DACLs

[meager kernel]

Just name the modules that I have to do

Cause I have all modules upto Tier 3 unlocked

[alpine pumice]

ad enum and attacks, dacl i and ii, crack map exec, ad cs

ntlm relay is good too

[meager kernel]

Alright

[alpine pumice]

kerberos maybe

[meager kernel]

Alot to do in a week

[alpine pumice]

yeah it is

IN A WEEK???

[alpine pumice]

ez just quit your job

[dense turtle]

Cool, I’ve already learned something new.. but I’ve got a case here that might be an exception to the rule, for example: I have a Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 with the ath10k driver, it goes into monitor mode, but packet injection completely fails.

Speaking of cryptography, what do you guys use to encrypt an SSD, pendrive, whatever.. VeraCrypt?

[devout sail]

use it as it is

no one is after my ass

[simple marten]

[devout sail]

well it's free

i kept mine on cf pages too

what u got on those disks tho

u can get to keep your source code on github private and still host on CF page

but guess what,., on GH pages u need to make repo public

[terse dirge]

makes sense

[devout sail]

why
should work on both like CF

😼

i just add them in relevant folder and push, or if its writeup, i encrypt them with a vibecoded program and push

the vibecoded program is secure af,, as per the AI

yep markdowns

thats why i dont have images, too lazy to add them properly

i spent like 2w on it and somehow did that

[rose onyx]

b64 encode them into your post

[devout sail]

very minimal AI involvement, other than asking question or that military grade encryption (pretty sure its broken af)

when i do machines, i write notes at same time in vim, and uhh i just dont bother taking screenshot, instead just explain what im seeing or copy terminal

Is the future of cybersecurity in danger? I've been reading about Claude Code Security; does anyone know anything about it?

[molten bobcat]

no

[restive robin]

Hi! I am new here.
How on this goddamn blue green Earth, do I teach myself the fundamentals of cybersecurity, and learn (ethical) hacking?

For context: I know basic programming. I wouldnt exactly say that I am quite proficient. But I am aware of the syntax of C/C++, Python, HTML, Javascript.
So yeah, very basic.

And other than that, I know nothing.
Basically, I am starting from scratch.

I would love to here any advice or suggestions or book recommendations.

Btw, is the channel NetworkChuck good?

[warped plank]

LLMs are just another tool to make the tedious stuff easier, but LLMs can't be creative which is 100% an asset here.

[west lynx]

Get Started with the HTB Beginners Bible: https://www.hackthebox.com/blog/learn-to-hack-beginners-bible

[terse dirge]

@restive robin

[keen knot]

For now

[warped plank]

NetworkChuck might as well be LLM scripted TBH

[heady sage]

I agree

[warped plank]

LLMs rely on training data to generate responses. If something is completely new or so unique that there's no data on it then they will never in a million years find it, cos it has no reference of it, ever.

[keen knot]

The future with AI is a little scary

[keen knot]

I see

[rapid badger]

I am going back to the mauntains. Have fun in the Drone Wars

[warped plank]

Unless there's a major breakthrough where we actually get AGI. AI is just a glorified auto-correct on steroids.

[rose onyx]

Compared to where it was a year ago, it's starting to scare me.

[warped plank]

It's just: LLM talking to LLM to make sure it's sane.. basically auto-correct on auto-correct.

[rose onyx]

To start a container then troubleshoot that the VPN isn't connected, find the config and background the program.

[warped plank]

[rose onyx]

Just saying a year ago it couldn't count letters.

[warped plank]

Well today it can't remember what api endpoints are real

/api/exec go brrrr

[rose onyx]

Yeah nor can most humans

[dense turtle]

Believe it or not, AI is far more advanced than what we publicly know today. Ten or twenty years ago, there were already movies about the kind of AI we’re seeing now. Coincidence?

[terse dirge]

yes because electricity prices are going to go up

[keen knot]

It sounds like a conspiracy theory, but the software world will end up in the hands of AI; it's its own language, its origin. It's like trying to teach Chinese to a native Chinese speaker only knowing English.

[terse dirge]

AI is stupid because people think it's cool so therefore it's cringe

[dense turtle]

electricity? what about ram?

[terse dirge]

ram will crash

[dense turtle]

how can u be so sure?

[keen knot]

Humans have tried for decades, AI was a matter of days. What will happen in years?

[terse dirge]

AI is a bubble, when it pops companies are going to close down and if they can't dispose of their RAM they used then it has to go to someone or somewhere

[rapid badger]

AI is good news for cybersec

Never has more trash code been produced at speeds that would bogle the mind.

6k commit ? sure lets go, I had 3 agents verify it

People say oh people will verify it

NAH

[dense turtle]

i would like to think same way, but is more likely humans will keep feeding ai and every time more and more

[terse dirge]

yeah no that's not how that works eventually AI will not be scalable and or not sustainable once it gets to an extent

[dense turtle]

hope u right

[rapid badger]

Maybe they will secure the actual funding for the datacenters being built and AGI will lead us all to a beautifyl distopia.
I wouldnt ming being fed grapes and being cooled by hot robots waving palm leafs.

[terse dirge]

you really should manually review and have some sort of pipeline to make sure your shit doesn't break in prod

[keen knot]

You see less junk code, I see fewer people working in those areas. What 10 people could do, 2 will do, and then there will only be one supervisor. Following that path, there will be AI supervisors, and AI will do everything.

[terse dirge]

devops is soo good and very underrated tbh

[dense turtle]

Does any1 know the steps about getting CVE

[hallow mica]

would i be able to learn how to hack in here and not safely hacking. or should i look somewhere else

[dense turtle]

wdym not safely hacking?

[cerulean bloom]

not really how it works if its only for that github repo

[muted olive]

which repo?

because it depends

[muted olive]

it is, depending on the repo

[hallow mica]

does it really matter

[cerulean bloom]

well, ye

true

[sturdy thistle]

It does

And morning friends

[cerulean bloom]

gm 🙂

[dense turtle]

gm 👋

[hallow mica]

would i be able to or nah

[cerulean bloom]

please explain what safely hacking means first

[sturdy thistle]

Can you answer the question too

[hallow mica]

Black Hat

[sturdy thistle]

No

[hallow mica]

the other hat

[idle mauve]

I asked ai but it says the repo has to create security.md

the repo has not

[sturdy thistle]

Email the creator

And let him fix it

[hallow mica]

wait no would be closer to gray hat not black, what id be doing would help and not

so would i?

[cerulean bloom]

I don't understand your question

[hallow mica]

i want to learn to hack

would i be able to learn within this server or atleast with the help of it

[lofty marsh]

Yooo what's up people

[cerulean bloom]

legally and ethically? yes
black hat, illegally, or unethically? no

[lofty marsh]

@sturdy thistle Do you know when cubetalks is gonna be released on spotify?

[cerulean bloom]

I know the answer to this: he doesn't lol

[hallow mica]

isnt the only difference really what you decide to end up doing

[sturdy thistle]

No sorry

[lofty marsh]

Aw man

[hallow mica]

like if someone learns to hack ethically cant they just not use it ethically

[lofty marsh]

They can

[cerulean bloom]

in some cases, yes
but some knowledge can mainly be used for illegal and unethical purposes, which we will not share or talk about here

[lofty marsh]

But this can ruin you

If you hack unethically no one is gonna hire you as an ethical hacker ever

You destroy the trust

[hallow mica]

ok then yeah i wanna learn to hack ethically

[sturdy thistle]

Your questions are so edgy

[rapid swallow]

[hallow mica]

why would i work for someone else

[rapid swallow]

So what type of woman do u like

[sturdy thistle]

My wife

[hallow mica]

my ex

[rapid swallow]

At gunpoint?

Jks

[lofty marsh]

Because who's gonna hire you alone without any fame?

[hallow mica]

why would i want to be famous?

[muted olive]

hat terminology is outdated and cringe

[hallow mica]

too much attention to be on me

[rapid swallow]

Damn so who's planting crypto miners in companies here?

[muted olive]

you're either a researcher or a criminal

thats it

it kinda feels like you're mixing up HTB with some onion IRC

[rapid swallow]

Dammit missed the text

[rapid swallow]

Lol facts

[hallow mica]

i probably will have better luck on onion sites to learn what i want to

[rapid swallow]

Youll be a script kiddie

In all honesty

[dense turtle]

Different league, different vibes

[cerulean bloom]

then you're probably not here to learn ethically or legally

[lofty marsh]

Why are you on an ethical hacking server then?

[hallow mica]

i want to learn it all not use others. thanks for your opinion though

[dense turtle]

Because he dont get attention on irc lol

[hallow mica]

only one that showed up

[rapid swallow]

Quick question shouldn't it be legal and ethical to use the dark web to find payload and scripts tho? Maybe even learn techniques?

[cerulean bloom]

I think this guy is another person who didn't read the rules lol

[lofty marsh]

Isnt it already legal?

[rapid swallow]

Idk never used it

[lofty marsh]

The dark web itself isnt illegal

[rapid swallow]

All I saw is drugs on it

[lofty marsh]

Well duh 💀

[cerulean bloom]

most of it are scams (dark web)

[rapid swallow]

Any website on the dark web yall recommend tho

[rapid swallow]

Yeah ik

[lofty marsh]

The dark web itself was made for a good purpose so its not illegal

The intentions are

[rapid swallow]

Idk but I started out like learning hacking hoping to be a badass person. Never really felt that way until I got better at social engineering and bypassing AV

Now I feel badass a bit
