in lets defend?
yes
maybe some other day, i ahve cheked their free tier material a bit
I liked it
but not the trial
they theory is cool
and the labs look cool also but is only one hour π
I only did the malware analysis course
Sherlocks are badass
I like them
I want more Threat Intelligence
I think they should merge the OSINT challenges on the Threat Intel sherlocks
that would be sooo cool
I like this
what're you fuzzing?
xml parser
trying to learn this in more detail and I need to brush up on my gdb
it's been a minute or two
which plan/role path would u choose for my situation on htb academy
do ppl just get the 490$ one
CJCA
wanna buy me a game
Sure
ill feel bad nevermind
im just saying random shit
this monster tastes so good
monster energy ultra violet
What game do you want ?
elden ring but you don't have to
i was just memeing
i need to play the games i have before i get another one
i wanna play final fantasy 16 before elden ring
just put it in wishlist and wait for sale or get it on cdkeys
last time i checked it was like 10 bucks
btw dont take my words for it go for whatever u find best for you
its just me and my cousin liked ffxv more
So fantasy 16?
i already have final fantasy 16 i just don't have elden ring
elden ring is alright
everyone liked it except me i find it alright
mainly cuz am bad and got tortured alot
its a bit painful
Saying 15 is better than 16 lmao
it is
You know nothing of final fantasy
16 still to this day lives rent free in my head all the way through
yk every ff game is in a diff universe and diff story so its subjective
on who finds what better or not
I'm aware the series is an anthology but from a story quality and gameplay quality 16 is leagues better
15 suffered in its story due to it not being a complete set.
There's a feature length animated film that's a fucking prequel to it
Not to mention the anime?
Or the dlc?
i like it because of the abilities
mainly
the ability to summon weapons of your choice and teleport
armiger unleashed π
Just that 16 is better
i lowkey miss getting fried and playing video games
i want to like hacking better
i just get distracted so easy
im also biased because tetsuya nomura worked in ff15
I've had an easier time focusing since starting my meds
vyvanse worked in the start but then i gained around 30 lbs and it stopped working, then i doubt the increase in dosage is proportionate to how much i weigh now
i only gained weight bc of another medication
big pharma go brr
"Hi! I'm a cybersecurity student from University of Kenya looking to connect with students from USA, Canada, Australia, or China for collaboration and knowledge sharing. Anyone here from those regions?" l would like to group links please
If it makes you feel better my issues are bathroom related π
i only have ritalin because amphetamines r banned in oman
do u like it
i may try it eventually
yes but the crash is cruel
since my vyvanse don't work as well as it did before
especially if its xr
oh yeah the crashes suck ass
for some reason this doesnt sound right
never tried them before but
i cant see how non stimulant is gonna work
Advancements in medical technology. It didn't used to be available
"Hi! I'm a cybersecurity student from University of Kenya looking to connect with students from USA, Canada, Australia, or China for collaboration and knowledge sharing. Anyone here from those regions?"
Asking the same question is a good way to get muted for spamming the chat
tbh i feel the same way bc of experience
i used to take guanfacine and it didn't really work very well
i feel like its the dopamine that allows u to feel like u can focus
and not get distracted
Ymmv type shit
So ADHD is an issue with your neuro receptors.
They're not grabbing dopamine that is available
So there's several ways to attack this
The commonly used way is to introduce more dopamine to the brain
So, stimulants
They make the receptors more open and available
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors
ssri
Yeah I know I'm just clarifying because
It helps explain what it does
Those cap Reuptake slots
So that serotonin has more time to freely flow in the neurons
It's an "over time" effect
tried 20 mg prozac for years, 40 mg for months now back to 20 mg since i dont see a diff
Not as immediate as stimulants are
i barely experience anxiety on 80 mg of fluoxetine but i had to get to a high dose to gradually notice effects
For a lot of people finding the right answer for their medication is a lame guessing game.
i used to have horrible anxiety over trivial shit
i get less aggressive tho thats the only noticeable effect seen by those around me
Since everyone's brain chemistry is so wildly unique
My anxiety has been
Super calm lately
Big good
isnt it weird how all three of us suffer from similar issues
isnt mental health issues supposed to be rare
Eh this is a rare field
Something about computers draws in the broken
No clue
But it's a known phenomenon
I said broken to be poetic but I genuinely don't feel anyone is broken
Just different
@austere sinew
80 mg is a bit crazy
@sturdy thistle you called?
ik bro i didn't have a good mentality when increasing my meds
it feelsi like an overdose, ur doctor told you to increase it right
wolo who?
it's the maximum dose and im the one who asked for it
then my doctor started encouraging increasing
Talk to yo doctor about how it's making you feel
does it work 24/7 or randomly
24/7
through the day
Didn't you just say you didn't feel good?
wat the
I'm missing something?
my mentality when increasing my medications wasn't good i said
@austere sinew this one
sounds heavenly
Ahhh
the undead one
but the results were positive for me
yeah for the most part
I'm glad dude anxiety blows
it does
no clue who's that @sturdy thistle
cloud you be stronk now
Define strength lol
i just used to panic and get distressed over shit that would be blown out of proportion mentally
in addition to the anxiety feeling
A Bob's burgers episode made me have my first panic attack
weakness is in a galaxy far far away so it's alien concept to us
surprisingly i feel good most of the time bro
never would have expected it
The world feels like Mr blue sky for a bit
although ignorant ppl call me a polyaddict just bc they don't understand psychiatry
Eh
I'm of the opinion that life's pretty decent once you feel nice and in control
exactly
believe it or not there are people who think less of me just bc i choose to get treated
like this one dude from high school
What a rube lol
If there's anything I can define as toxic masculinity it's that
Real men understand their feelings and control their emotions
How much you wanna bet this dude, at some point in his life, will yell at the top of his lungs at a fast food worker?
he's chill it's just that he lacks critical thinking
Lot of folks do
i wanna know why does everyone like souls games
Cuz they're fun
i only like them when i finally beat the boss after trillion attempts
cause theyre hard
and require alot of hard work and dedication
and their mechanic is fun
i feel like i went through hell everytime i finish a souls game
Nothing is more american than crushing some addys and snorting them and dont let some jock tell you otherwise.
you went through hell to experience heaven
in a single word: self-determination
thats the experience of souls game
no clue as I play to relax and there's nothing relaxing about souls games
dark souls 1 was like that for me
I really enjoy death stranding
imagine coming back from work just to suffer more by getting beaten by a boss that one shots you and then you proceed to glaze the game (i do that i glaze sekiro)
sekiro is toooooo hard for me rn π
exactly π
HOW IS THAT RELAXING
I enjoy collecting PlayStation trophies
psycho
what i wanna do is complete dark souls franchise first
then elden ring
then sekiro
anyone here good with logic circuits?
btw sekiro gets so much easier after few days of playing
i loved playing God Of War styled games
hack and slash
I did 100% of all God Of War games
given your pfp one would think so
true
My cat fell asleep on me and is dreaming
For CV
batman arkham games were also really really fun
batman arkham is in my top 3 favourite franchises of all time
I'm playing death stranding for the 3rd time
DS2 is fun so far
I'm planning on getting PS5 just to play DS2 xD
It's got a PC release date brah
DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH launches on PC March 19, 2026.
Pre-purchase today.
#stateofplay #DeathStranding2 #DeathStranding2pc #KojimaProductions #pc #pcgames
Well not a release date
But they announced it's indeed coming to PC
Excuse, I just needed one...
Hehe
@obtuse fern

we are at 2 now

Emoji spam guarantees hell for your eternal afterlife
it's brath!
Can we have a tung tung tung sahur emoji ?
e
I can sell you emojis very cheap
How
XMR
cool
I will be uploading stuff and I accept commissions if you have something in mind
No I have an empty head
np we can fill it with very expressive emojis so you can flex with your friends
Yeah good idea
Coolio
What Coolio ?
You
Iβm not coolio
super coolio π
Wtf
Is this in Kotlin?
rust
I see

This is what I call flexing
wat the hell sir?
this is time wasted that will never come back
I like to appreciate how it glows
I can also do animations xD
You like it glowing?
isn't that against the rules?
No itβs not
Im not selling in the page, if you want I delete it
@supple plume you know what's funny, i can get rid of all that time with the click of a button
btw this would count as spam
one day I will have the thanos guantlet and I will use it twice
general has gone wild
It's deleted now... I didnt even had a payment setup and is just a platform to share art... Does this apply to every blog that people post and have the buy me a coffee setup also?
In that case, you'll still leave 1/4th of the original population alive
oh tahts wight
without payment setup... is a platform so share art... it just happened to be named ko-fi
but what are you doing awake at 4 am?
Insomnia
@mystic harbor another indian here with insomnia
Shut up
@minor heart YOOO TOKYO REVENGERS
LETS GO
insomnia adhd gang online?
Yea

But Im not on PC unfortunately
Guys. quick question. Little survey iβm doin. If you were to make a cybersec course for beginners would you put CS fundamentals(cpu, ram, bits, bytes all that stuff) as the first module and networking(ip, ports, subnets, ARP, MAC) stuff like that as the second module or vice versa?
Vice versa in my opinion
Thatβs crazy. Why.
πright
To me it makes sense the first way because- i feel like you need to have cs fundamentals down to even start thinking about networking
But my friend argues that cs fundamentals is boring so networking should come first
If someone has no idea about computer
@mystic harbor you use arch btw right?
Yea
Used to
What do you do if something breaks
I keep switching os it's like just open any linux
Oh
Yea thatβs what my friend argues
Reinstall 

Use NixOS
Why are you using arch ?
I am gonna build a tool so I can get all shit at once in whichever os
Itβs a good point
Arch is fun honestly
A DIY distro is actually pretty fun

Ello
Yes but not for a primary os
I sometimes break it but I have timeshift configured
Nah I have it on host machine
I had debian for few days then installed arch
Arch adict
What's the difference between Debian and arch
I have made those tools
Ik i am gonna steal it 
Debian updates its packages once in 2 years when they release a new version
Arch is rolling release, which means updates get rolled out regularly
good
Thank you for the information
Pretty good, my hardware manages equal amount of performance in both windows and linux cause my gaming PC is strong.
But......
Linux gives me more consistent frames
I dont have frame drops here and there like windows gave me
heck yeah π€ π₯
I do marginally get better fps on arch, after I updated the kernel to cachy os
4 hours of sleep and I woke up thinking I hadnβt finished the machine 
I never tried linux gaming
Its 80-90% plug n play
Yea, if youre a single player gamer, then youre good
Its mostly plug n play
You might require one or two launch commands
Getting more fps than the monitor is useless anyways
Like my GTA 4 had some issues
Not really
Higher fps is always more responsive
I get more all the time i have capped my gpu to 160 fps my Montior is 144
tell it to my 60hz π
CS2 required one launch command for the audio
I have 180 Hz monitor, for me, 500 FPS ALWAYS feels more responsive than 300 or 400
Nice
You don't set limit?
No
Theres some science behind it, idk the exact thing
I saw on a Linus Tech Tips video
Someone recommend to set limits idk what impact it really has
He compared low FPS vs capped FPS vs unlimited FPS on a single 144 Hz monitor
He showed that higher fps always felt more responsive
Well it still doesn't discount the fact that alot of his videos are actually very informative
Especially his old ones
I barely get time to play games these days π₯
Looking to build something for my portfolio, its a slice of a springboot application but i actually have to go thru all the bs of setting one up. Chatgpt says the easiest way to do this is gonna be a container. Can i export the container then send that to github? is that the way? or should i spin up the container and push the code to github?
any ideas?
(i have to go thru the bs because this is a one off for an employer who uses springboot)
this isnt something i'd normally do and im not trying to waste a bunch of time on unpaid work so im just trying to get minimum viable product here, wondering the best way to go about presenting it
maybe do writeups
Thats helpful but this isnt a good route for that. I have a client who im going to be speaking with in a couple days and I know their tech stack so the move here is for me to build a slice of their tech stack and demonstrate some proficiencies to show that im familiar with their environment.
oh right, so its more specific
Ugh
yeah and it could get kinda hairy, i dont think i'll need to demonstrate a working container or anything like that so im uncertain just how complex i need to make it. and im trying to keep that under control
such is life
Docker compose files
You dont need to export the container
It gets built by these files
Find some startup dockerfile builerplates for spring boot
And make them work with the help of the clankers
I goes to the root path of the project
Or listen to the wise man up here
That's probably better
Good luck
Was from cube talks last week
Hahah, my daughter does that now and again
It needs those like.. metal links

Gn chat 
nn π
My report was marked informational
All good, just means there's no impact which is good
gn bro
Howdy chat
good good, might get foothold on a box tmrw bc now im chilling and about to do some yoga/stretches
being on a cut suits me lol
how bout you?
Woke up a while ago
with what?
@tough oyster with my username change I have changed on htb why it's not changing
It's revealing my legal name
I wanna change it
Pls
@tough oyster what can I do for it?
Hello bro?

@jolly condor @burnt fable can you guys help me out?
Cuz no one's helping fast
π
Can I do something?
Nice htb staff ping, i also did that the first time i joined
Can i help you(
delete account and remake lul
Bruh π
what you think a name change would save your account being linked with your real name π
At least delay it
So much
That's why
Pls @rancid snow
π
I aint staff
opsec 101 once a connection is made is cannot be unmade
discord isnt support, contact support
You just want an acc name change?
Yes
Oh ok
Contact support they will help 100% they are the only ones that can
Need to speak to a person? Learn how to reach our support via HTB Labs.
but unironically deleting your account and remaking it is the best move
From same acc?
theres no way you have enough stuff attached to the account worth keeping if you just made this error
Like email?
up to you
Fr I haven't made much progress I can start from scratch
I am ready but does my same email works?
Hm
but for the record, people absolutely scrape the htb user records and monitor the discord 24/7
thats why I say once a link is made it cannot be unmade
Damn
someone is going to know your name change happened and what it used to be. thats why delete and remake is the only way if youre genuinely concerned
Oh ok
But I don't care for someone unless and until it's not my friend
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
next time ping an ip bro π
what does "I am a teapot" mean?
...almost like you shouldnt randomly bother people for your own personally created issues just because you didn't get an answer fast enough
oh hell nah
lol
a mail, a number and a dream
HTTP 418
i am taking like 40min with this one /usr/share/wordlists/dirbuster/directory-list-2.3-small.txt
Sounds wrong, I dont think fuzzing is supposed to take more than 5-10 min on any of the content.
When that happens its usually my error
Are u using dirbuster?
Or ffuf?
ffuf
its common to use dirbuster wordlists with other tools
fierce.txt and common.txt are decent ones to use if dirbuster ones are taking long.
yes i mean, for easy machines i think dont need such complete lists
fierce is for subdomains though mb
really?
Ye I know that's why I asked if he is using dirbuster or ffuf
What's fierce.txt used for?
yeah and they said ffuf earlier
β¨@tough oysterβ© can I raise a concern Abt the fact that only hacker rank+ is able to upload their setup in cube setup?
I mean I get h we can't use gof or upload photos in general or other channels
But cube setup?
not a concern. it's a feature
It's unfortunately to prevent people with new accounts from posting horrible images
Oh
I remember the before times
Roger
Ofc π I don't have perms to share or else I would have shared here
Who warned u?
I don't know
You have been warned on HackTheBox with a strike value of 0. After a total value of 3, permanent exclusion from the server may be enforced.
Following is the reason given:
Excessive pinging of staff
Isn't that sanskrit in ur 'about'
I get no respect I tell you, I get no respect
@bronze lion
No it's pali language
Excessive ?
Never heard abt it
looks like you got warned for excessively pinging staff
oh
I don't think so
Language of thervada buddhism
yes. And it was two times for one person and then two other staff members
and then you pinged non staff lol
Oh got it
@tough oyster
Sorry I was obviously in hurry to change name π it reveals my identity bruh who doesn't wanna do it?
Peace ποΈ
ever heard the phrase 'An emergency on your part does not constitute and emergency on mine'?
Sed
When did u become a philosopher
Don't roast me

do not have a medical emergency in front of mad fox you will die
Bro indians do not give a fk about pinging ppl. They will ping an admin and be like "hey bro I am little short can I get a discount ? " I respect that
Eh? Stop using the word indians
That's so inappropriate bro . U literally roasted the whole indians
You cannot hate a community and country for that
Has anyone here by any chance finished the Linux interpreter machine (medium difficulty)?
β¨β¨β¨@scenic mapleβ©β©β© I'm a bit short can i get a discount for today's ice cream if u don't mind?
Can I roast you specifically
? I literally said I respect that lol
i need help
Yes
What's up?
I've been feeling crummy all day
Foul
Bruh
Can't stand em
I'm stuck on the interpreter machine and I don't know what step to take to continue.
Not fair bro I was typing it
Oh , wht abt coffee?
I do like coffee
Well look who is behind u then

Too slow
But not when I have a stomachache lol
I suggest u to run 5miles

Lazy boy

It's like finishing a sentence with hate, then adding the word 'respect' just to avoid getting a warn nice trick

Have you ever heard of the expression "making a mountain out of a molehill?"
Have you ever heard mind your own business?
Cope lmao
I will step over you on my way to work

Wow
Well u are already home πΆ
Ofc ik meaning if he didn't used the term indians and just said to me it was completely fine
Indians is wrong now ? I thought it was India > indians
Ah why are you ppl even defending it damn :exit:
Makes it even worse bro
Stop
I genuinely don't think any harm was meant by the comment
I'm going to take a leave now
But whatever excuse you need to be angry on the internet
I have a life to enjoy bye
no you dont
Stop exposing my secrets
Can you actually tell me whats wrong with calling ppl from India indians or ?
That's not the issue
I believe your original comment is being misconstrued
I'm shocked
As a racial prejudice
Rather than
A little joke?
Because as far as racial prejudice goes that was weak sauce
W/e going to eat my pizza you guys figure it out

no worries, have a nice date π
finally going to hopscotch
I am so done with my stupid ahh IT job that pays below minimum wage bro
that doesn't sound legal
Well it is not technically legal, but it is practically legal where I live. Nobody does anything about it
not in the US?
No lol Asia
Its not any better over here
Job market is a global issue due to importing "skilled workers"
companies don't need workers anymore now that there's AI 
there's only one possible explanation for how they acquired such sophisticated technology
and it's only possible that they acquired it with
the help of KYOJI!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone available to give me a nudge for Facts?
ban this guy
hahahah, I would prefer to do in a VM ofc
since it can break at any moment
you can try blackarch
what's really important are the tools anyway
no point in complicating things for a job
so I would take a shot
but sometimes its worth as personal interest
or experiment
but expect a lot of headache
setting up things
I think it just depends on style, if you want to configure/install everything by hand because it helps you learn, go for it, but I agree with @alpine pumice , why do something that has already been done (pentesting distro with tools out of the box so you don't have to install and configure them by hand)
I would try it, but not lose my mind over it
you could always mess around with kali or parrot with different theming and changing styling and whatnot, if thats the kind of thing you like
you can also rice kali π
Give macOS a try
different DE
fuck no
Doing CAPE on MACOS was a headache
dont be unreasonable
how? i find AD pentesting much easier on mac
but sitll
if its ur host os it doesnt matter, but using macos as the pentesting os seems a bit harder than necessary
a fuckton of problems
skill issue?
really? ive heard people have all sorts of config issues
Ive been red teaming on macos for 2 years, i wouldnt use anything else except for kali for a junker distro
Just use linux
windows is impossible to pentest on imo
In the end, use what suits you better
wow thats really interesting, goes to show it doesnt really matter what tool you use as long as it works for you
then you have to forward fucking everything with usbipl
did u start on macos? or migrate to it afterwards?
its a headache
Dont people use VM on windows host?
ive done every distro
yeah host os doesnt reallt matter much
if ur using vms
you use vmware?
parallels
i will have to give it a shot, very interested to see what using macos baremetal is like
idk dont knock it til you try it
yeah fr
macOS is insanely good now
Just use linux host
brew covers everything
i mean im waiting to buy one of the new macs that might come out soon as my laptop is getting dated, i might as well try using it for pentesting haha
Which VM application do you use
yeah i use a macbook air, never had any issues
parallels
interesting, never heard about this one
glad to hear, i was a bit worried about the whole arm thing
no compatibility issues?
great
rosetta runs perfectly
thats the emulator right?
it translates x86 to arm
isnt rosetta ending?
what about virtualizing an x86 os on arm, works well?
Cant wait to try it myself
its macOS native
Ive been using my m1 mac studio for 6 years now
it still runs as well as day 1
the m series chips are monsters compared to intel and amd right now
but how much storage space do you have?
pantherlake is still a bit behind from what I saw
i mean i have a server storage isnt an issue
i have ran into ram shortages
i wish i had 64
I want to buy one
And I'm also on college so money is lowkey short lol
rip
but I have a good gaming pc with nice specs, I use that as my main
if your computer doesn't have at least $1500 of DDR5 it sucks
I use mac when I'm not at home
I have 32 GB DDR4 ππ
poor
nvidia is just punishing us
because i play tarkov
so does sinister
same
i wish i would have bought a 96gb ram kit before prices went up, i had been thinking about it but i'm stuck on 32gb now.
i also run a lot of vms sometimes
Theres a bell curve meme of 'using kali because it works' for dummies, angry middle peeps saying 'nooo you must use custom distro or blackarch or parrot anything but kali' and then the enlightened masters 'use kali cause it works'.
youre approaching the top of the curve
gauss mentioned
that said invaluable learning experience to explore and build other options.
starlink table
but its okay. kali in a vm will be waiting for your return
"hey guys let's go camp in the woods with no technology" -- sets up starlink
glamping is cool now
i did my time
i like it when the feds know where i am at all times without lidar
hahahaha omg this is in brazil
its in russia actually
makes sense
Why would you pentest on your host machine though?
pentesting is fine, rto is not
i mean i have done it
but it really doesnt matter
your opsec is not much different
I see
The best thing is gaming on linux, bc you cant play most games with anti cheat
never stressed with siege
Yea
The only multiplayer game I can stress about is CS2, cause its native on linux
I really miss playing siege tho
Bro wants to go back to an abusive relationship
