general

[ocean marsh]

Can I recommend a video here?

[eternal mango]

You'll find out if they are what you need soon enough, but they are a relatively good point to start imho.

[ocean marsh]

for this guy

[sturdy thistle]

Tomorrow I’ll test the drone more

[eternal mango]

I'd probably go for Getting Started, then Information Security Foundations, and then Penetration Tester though

[sturdy thistle]

I’ll probably buy it off of my friends

[random aurora]

Okay hackthebox have more information then thm so much better deep in linux in network so information security is better and good and while I finsihing I will get some level in academy

[eternal mango]

instead of Information Security Foundations first

..if you are totally just getting started

[random aurora]

How about cjca ?

[eternal mango]

That's something you'd build up to

Get some foundational knowledge down first

If you get on well, and feel you need more of a challenge you can start working on the higher tier modules, or working through the CJCA path

[random aurora]

But cjca is for the beginner I read aboutit

[eternal mango]

Yes, from what you've said I assumed you were a beginner. It does have a good range of topics included within it.

[random aurora]

Thats right

[eternal mango]

CJCA might be seen as beginner, but it will challenge you.

(and that's a good thing)

[sturdy thistle]

Definitely

[random aurora]

Okay well you Know why I choose information security because its for the beginners
Then cjca then getting started
Then pentreation job role path and go to dante lab pro

[eternal mango]

I'd recommend you just jump in to a module, and see how you find it

[random aurora]

Sounds cool ?

@eternal mango and I can get ranks in academy or no ?

[sturdy thistle]

Night night

[ocean marsh]

night

[eternal mango]

Just get started

[meager kernel]

alright i synced my notes between my phone and PC

so thats good

[ocean marsh]

ranks are only based on labs, but dont worry about that for now

[eternal mango]

You just keep asking how to get started, what it is, where to go, what to do

Since May last year

Either get started, or don't 🤷‍♂️

[random aurora]

You know why ?

[devout sail]

with?

[random aurora]

I started in tryhackme that stuff not have alot of information

[ocean marsh]

what do you use for notes?

[eternal mango]

Ok, well.. I've given my advice

Go do it

Get started

[random aurora]

Okay guys thank you 🤍

[eternal mango]

Get your hands dirty

[meager kernel]

obsidian

[ocean marsh]

same

[meager kernel]

syncthing

[random aurora]

I will get started in my path 🤍. Thank you everyone🤍

[devout sail]

isnt that paid?

[ocean marsh]

@random aurora can I send you a dm?

[random aurora]

Please see my dm

[modest furnace]

[ocean marsh]

I did this on kali, idk about windows

[modest furnace]

[devout sail]

nothing will go wrong

start the scenario

[silver forge]

oh no looks like a huge scenario with like 50 assets. no time today to finish that. exit..

[eternal mango]

Will you start this time @random aurora ? Starting is the hardest part.

[random aurora]

I will start dont worry

[silver forge]

tomorrow

today is too stressful

[eternal mango]

It's fine, it's your choice 🙂 Just saying, procrastination is a bitch

Sometimes you just gotta go for it.

[azure wasp]

How do yall learn im reading the intro to academy and it just flies over my head after i struggle to read it trying to remember, im on the paths and certifications section all i remember is "cat /etc/issues" from one of the sections

[eternal mango]

While it might seem tedious or repetitive, the best way to start learning is by doing, taking on board what you can in the module sections, and working through to the practical exercise. If you're getting started, you'll no doubt need to switch back and forth through the module in order to progress, but it gets easier with practice.

[rancid snow]

notes

write notes on everything

[eternal mango]

Don't expect to be able to take everything on board all at once

And yes, notes

[maiden anvil]

@willow magnet @zealous charm Jay Leno throws you several sets of keys, but you can only drive one: Bugatti Chiron, Koenigsegg Jesko, Lamborghini Revuelto, AMG G Wagon, and Pagani Zonda R. which do you choose? this one is easy for me, absolutely the Pagani Zonda R no question

[eternal mango]

Compress what you read and learn in to notes that you can navigate and refer to

[river adder]

sium now i'm really Helba

[rancid snow]

if theres any single greatest regret I have in my learning journey it was waiting till I was a grown adult before valuing notes. Could have saved myself a lot of unnecessary relearning if I used em earlier

[river adder]

Yasuo stayed for too long

[maiden anvil]

this sounds like an anime arc

[river adder]

It is

[zealous charm]

lambo

[willow magnet]

Probably the Chiron but I am basic

[river adder]

The topic of tonight is:

[maiden anvil]

those new lambos are pretty sweet tbh

[river adder]

How do you see the AI in the next year?

[maiden anvil]

nah, that's style and class

Zonda R is a death wish

Jesko isn't that far behind it

[rapid badger]

Jay owns none of those cars lol

Enjoy the 1912 steam engine instead

😄

[eternal mango]

haha

[willow magnet]

Cobra is the only thing I can say I really want to drive more than anything

[maiden anvil]

very relatable, GNX for me in the muscle class

a restored Plymouth Barracuda would be fkin sweet too

[willow magnet]

oh that reminds me,
2026 XLT RWD F150 on the way that is getting a Whipple Supercharger among a few other things

If we talking Restos I want a Mercury Cougar its basically a mustang with more comfy interior

[azure wasp]

Ok thanks

[azure wasp]

I try but im bad with notes

[maiden anvil]

they are slept on fr

try pulling up on granny and she's got a V8 💀

[willow magnet]

Granny loves 427 v8 engines

[rancid snow]

gets easier over time. My early notes are dog shit lol

[azure wasp]

Ok but what do i note

I dont know when i should note or how i note it

i use cherrytree im not good with it but i dont know what i should write

[supple plume]

Steve?

Or mr lawless

[hoary dawn]

I just make myself a cheat sheet .txt for every category

Just structure it in best way you feel comfortable / can easily read

[azure wasp]

Yes

[supple plume]

I underestimated this task

Gonna eat some pizzas

Fr0st's recommended food for bug bounty

[devout sail]

[hoary dawn]

Sweet Thai chili chicken slice is my fav choice from my local place

I like eating fruit when at the computer I can’t do crumb food I’m too messy

[devout sail]

[hoary dawn]

Sum grapes and im chillin

[azure wasp]

Do i get roles from academy

[hoary dawn]

If ur account is linked to it I think

[azure wasp]

it is

[hoary dawn]

It should b automatic

[azure wasp]

ok thanks

[molten bobcat]

Academy does not grant roles

Only active machines and challenges on the main platform do

[hoary dawn]

Ah

[azure wasp]

ok thanks

[molten bobcat]

No problem

[eternal mango]

You still in curl echoes?

[azure wasp]

I just clicked academy 2.0 should i use this

[molten bobcat]

Up to you

[azure wasp]

Whats best

[molten bobcat]

Follow ya heart

There is no best

There is only what exists

[eternal mango]

It'll be the default eventually, but if you have any /feedback, we're always open to it

[molten bobcat]

Gob I was a grown up today

V responsible, decisive

[azure wasp]

Im gonna look around 2.0

[azure wasp]

Do you know when it will be default ish?

[devout sail]

academy 1.3 was soo good they made 2.0

[eternal mango]

I do not, sorry

[azure wasp]

Ok i will start information security

[supple plume]

Wdym

[eternal mango]

Just from what you said about a task, thought you were referring to working with curl from earlier

[hollow bone]

Hey I need some advice

[eternal mango]

Oh

That wasn't you

Well great

[hollow bone]

I've been trying to make good notes, but somehow after a while.... All my notes feel scrambled for some reason.

Any approach or wisdom I am yet to be enlightened with?

[azure remnant]

Stupid questions have hints but hard ones dont

Comooooon

[supple plume]

I was trying a bug bounty where I can execute code but it is a really hardened sandbox

[ocean marsh]

Having good notes is al about iteration for me

every time I go back to them

I change something

[eternal mango]

Ok then I got completely mixed up then

[ocean marsh]

and every time it gets better

that's how I approach it

After I take some new notes, I sleep on them and take a look on the next day

see what can be better

[maiden anvil]

imma be real i dont read my notes even if Im bothered enough to write something

[hollow bone]

I'll be very honest man, I've just been copy pasting anything interesting I read or come across in modules/articles

[azure remnant]

I memorize my notes while i type it so i dont need to look at it later

[hollow bone]

Went two steps ahead and copy pasted stuff from onlime

[azure remnant]

[hollow bone]

Regretting it now

[ocean marsh]

write it in your own words

try to create a logical path inside the note

[maiden anvil]

this is hacker equivalent of "when I see red I get super strength, watch out!"

[ocean marsh]

I try to take notes the same way its on hackerrecipes

[hollow bone]

Real Einstein

[supple plume]

I was working on CurlSwiggerLabs yesterday with oauth

Could be that

[obtuse fern]

march 5th according to the popup i saw

[eternal mango]

Nah it was earlier today, so I just got confused, it's fine

[ocean marsh]

and my dude, organizing notes is a pain in the ass

[azure wasp]

Thanks

[ocean marsh]

take it slow

lol

[molten bobcat]

I handled an emergency vet visit today

[azure remnant]

"you will need it in future" ahh moment

[molten bobcat]

Brain is fried

[eternal mango]

Hope the creature is ok?

[molten bobcat]

But Tidus is feeling better so that's all that matters

Yessir

[maiden anvil]

lets hope for a speedy recover 🙏

[molten bobcat]

We checked in for a rabies vaccine and his yearly checkup and it turns out.. he's allergic to the vaccine

[hollow bone]

Should I start making notes all over again? I don't mind climbing a mountain again. (-_-)

And yes, it's a pain 😭

[eternal mango]

eeesh

[obtuse fern]

tidus deserves extra love for the pain

[molten bobcat]

So we had to go back and get treated for an allergic reaction as well

[ocean marsh]

You can start writing them down from 0, but base them on what you already have

[eternal mango]

Well glad the furball of fury is ok

[molten bobcat]

Poor buddy is napping in his little cat tunnel rn

[hollow bone]

Alright

[molten bobcat]

He's okay, no more barfing

[ocean marsh]

if you just copy and paste stuff, I would say to rewrite it in a way YOU can understand

all that matters

[hollow bone]

I'm struggling Active directory too. I seem to forget stuff every once in a while

Alot concepts there to digest tbh

[ocean marsh]

That's how it works for me too lol

I studied only AD for around 6m

And I still struggle to understand some things

[azure wasp]

Does basics take 2 years to learn?

[eternal mango]

Best point is when you go through the assessment portions. As you go through them, note down what you try, what works, even what doesn't is worth keeping. Then tidy up the notes afterwards and move on

[ocean marsh]

But the more you hack AD, the easier it gets

[eternal mango]

Having the whole module / section content is fine

[molten bobcat]

Where are y'all pulling these numbers from lol

[eternal mango]

but it's how you connect it to your own experience that matters

[molten bobcat]

It takes as long as it takes my man

[eternal mango]

and that's where notes from hands on work comes in to play

[ocean marsh]

And there's no shame on going over modules again, I think I read the cape path around 3 times

and re-did exercises

assessments

[obtuse fern]

to add onto this, i use the canvas feature of obsidian to create a web of things I do/did and color code things

[hollow bone]

Im gonna start Active Directory and PrivEsc modules once again then

Got a pt1 voucher rotting in my shelf. Gotta own it soon

LoL

[obtuse fern]

arrows linking things, screenshots, command snippets

[ocean marsh]

If I can help with anything AD related, you can ping me

[obtuse fern]

[hollow bone]

Ah, thanks man

[ocean marsh]

[molten bobcat]

People with a cube by their name

[obtuse fern]

[hollow bone]

Needa a free CWES voucher

[rapid swallow]

ohh prolabs? did you do any prolabs before CAPE

[molten bobcat]

Couldnt do it. I'm a hungry mf

[obtuse fern]

HTB doesn't make a habit of just giving away things just because people ask for it

[rapid swallow]

let me send you a link

[obtuse fern]

if HTB ran things for every Religious event going on in the world they would bleed money

[azure wasp]

huh

[ocean marsh]

I like study while fasting tho

[rapid swallow]

haha

[ocean marsh]

I feel like I can focus way more

[rapid swallow]

i can study the first few hours

but after 12 hours of not eating

so im here now

[ocean marsh]

I'm not muslim tho

[molten bobcat]

I just love breakfast too much

[hollow bone]

https://tenor.com/view/khabib-not-me-its-god-gif-12646714

[ocean marsh]

shiiiiii, 12 hours is a lot

[rapid swallow]

im not a morning eating guy tbh

[ocean marsh]

same

[obtuse fern]

if you made events around every world religion; there'd be giveaways and stuff practically every month causing a loss in revenue for a multitude of reasons

[molten bobcat]

I can't do big meals in the morning

I like just a little something

Like a muffin

[rapid swallow]

pray i get a job at google tho

[azure wasp]

Do people want giveaways for religious events

[rapid swallow]

im tryna leave my current job

[austere sigil]

breakfast is the most important meal of the day was actually marketing stunt

[obtuse fern]

bro said "habibi it's Ramadan" i'm just providing a realism lens

[rapid swallow]

Yo HTB i should mention a little loophole in your account process

[eternal mango]

Was honest advice

[azure wasp]

ohohhh

[rapid swallow]

where can i report it

[obtuse fern]

purchasing anything for htb outside of the normal means is considered a breach of ToS

[rapid swallow]

its a loophole for unlimted exam voucher

[azure wasp]

purchasing stuff for htb is not allowed?

[hollow bone]

[eternal mango]

You can report any security concerns here https://hackerone.com/hack_the_box

[obtuse fern]

dude, we don't know you well enough to know if you're 'joking' or not

[eternal mango]

But know if it's BS, you will get the stare of doom from sec dept

[rapid swallow]

nope its something else

[ocean marsh]

we all need some cube socks giveaway tho

[hollow bone]

It's Ramadan, you can trust me.

you can read the official walkthroughs for the Starting Point machines

[slate whale]

Yes

[rapid swallow]

acceopt friend request ill make it brief

[eternal mango]

okiedokie

[hollow bone]

How do you become a moderator here?

[slate whale]

Oh thanks I will search that up

Also, can I use a real Kali computer instead of a VM ?

[hollow bone]

Does htb pay you just for handling a channel on discord

[obtuse fern]

the channel i linked is the place to ask for help with them. But you don't have to search for them

[raven rain]

you can summon the patron and ask them

[obtuse fern]

staff aren't really paid to handle discord things

[molten bobcat]

Just twist again

Like we did last summer

[obtuse fern]

Most staff here are here on their own free time and occasionally help

[molten bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/but-here's-the-twist-gif-4560010112202396617

[obtuse fern]

using Kali on a baremetal computer is a choice, and generally not recommended

[eternal mango]

I'm here because I enjoy hanging with the community

[raven rain]

jokes aside you get put into the potential moderator pool if you become a community contributor

[molten bobcat]

Unless you're me

[raven rain]

simply put be helpful to others and drive conversation

and also follow the rules

[hollow bone]

Why so? Security issues?

[molten bobcat]

They have my picture and won't serve me again

[obtuse fern]

i will give you a crisp high-five

[azure wasp]

Why, isn't it good for hacking?

[hollow bone]

Does it add value to my resume?

[obtuse fern]

well yes, and, it's the fact that it's a bleeding edge distro, meaning an update can severely break your system

[ocean marsh]

baremetal is more prone to problems imo

harder to fix stuff if something goes wrong

[molten bobcat]

I do not mention htb in my resume outside of "I study here"

[ocean marsh]

you can lose everything in an update

[obtuse fern]

and most people don't do or have the resources to backup before an update

[raven rain]

if you want the hacker feel then you can go ahead and run kali on bare metal. but VMs come with snapshots, and i wouldn't trade those for anything

[azure wasp]

Why do people use tails os u gotta install and setup everything each time u turn on and off

[obtuse fern]

because some people are obsessed with the idea of anonymity

[ocean marsh]

dont overcomplicate a simple thing like a browser and you should be fine

[obtuse fern]

true anonymity is a myth

[hollow bone]

Btw, I owe a big thanks to HTB. I cracked an Junior AppSec role in an MNC. That ctf experience helped alot.

[molten bobcat]

As with all things in security, something is better than nothing. It's better to be 80% secure than 0%

[hollow bone]

Best stay hidden in the crowd

[molten bobcat]

.. for what

[obtuse fern]

if you go on an anonymous thing like TOR, then log in to discord, congrats, you just deanonymized yourself

[molten bobcat]

And If you say "security"

Okay

[azure wasp]

Is tor good with a vpn or not people say vpn ruin the tor vpn

[molten bobcat]

I don't really have a browser preference

[obtuse fern]

no

[obtuse fern]

TOR explicitly tells you to not use a VPN with TOR

[molten bobcat]

"people" don't know how TOR or VPNs work

[azure wasp]

ok

[obtuse fern]

unless you REALLY know what you're doing

[molten bobcat]

People really love pretending to be a criminal cuz it sounds cool lmao

[azure wasp]

[obtuse fern]

i just use adblocking extensions

[molten bobcat]

btw

[azure wasp]

I use brave as main browser but firefox on my vm

[azure wasp]

ohh

[obtuse fern]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[molten bobcat]

Use your best judgement then

[obtuse fern]

that's not my problem then

lol

[azure wasp]

Brave saves me from youtube ads

[molten bobcat]

There's unfortunately not a lot of answers out there that are "you should do this or you should use this"

[hollow bone]

Brave browser

[obtuse fern]

i use pie

[azure wasp]

[hollow bone]

Brave browser better

[obtuse fern]

don't feel like switching over

[molten bobcat]

I desperately need some food and a nap

Baked good with dough and filled with fruit

🥧

[obtuse fern]

an adblocking extension i switched to when YouTube was trying to detect adblockers

[hollow bone]

Brave feels more stable and well maintained. They keep up with industry

[obtuse fern]

Firefox is also maintained, so is chrome

[ocean marsh]

proved your fasting point 😂

[obtuse fern]

like

[spark mulch]

if you want the most control, icecat is probably what you want. But it is extremely user-unfriendly until you get used to it - you'll find it blocks more than you actually want it to and there is a lot to configure.

If you just want to avoid javascript and cookies, consider a text-based browser like Lynx or links (which also has a links -g option for a JS-free graphical option when you want to be able to see images).

[azure wasp]

what point

[rapid swallow]

https://klipy.com/gifs/dancing-dog-ai

[molten bobcat]

Regular scheduled updates?

[rapid swallow]

back

[hollow bone]

As in, it's in-built ad block feature

[spark mulch]

but the latest icecat versions are only available on Guix, so you'd have to learn a declarative linux like NixOS that uses Lisp instead of Nix language. Which i recommend!

Because I went "Duh, Samus Aran"

Then remembered she's not an anime character lmao

WOAHHH

That language isn't okay here dude

Lmaooo

[devout sail]

Oh uh

[rapid swallow]

will we ever have a OSWE3 thing at HackTheBox

even pwned labs has M3Cloud something

[devout sail]

I know 2 CWES people from htb

[hollow bone]

Feeling dumb is a canon event. Each and everyone of us still feel dumb. Lol

[devout sail]

Both are weeb 💀

[molten bobcat]

The only people who are meant to be in cybersecurity are the people who feel dumb when presented with something they don't understand.

[slate whale]

lol

[devout sail]

Is CWES exclusive?

[raven rain]

CyberChronos and someone else

[rapid swallow]

Dont date ever

[devout sail]

Cyber mage

[azure wasp]

I guess i was born for this

[molten bobcat]

What the fuck kinda advice is this lmao

[hollow bone]

We be dumb, but we FIGURE IT OUT. That's what makes a good heckker

[devout sail]

I have to goto my school after 12y or so 💀

[slate whale]

I hope so

[devout sail]

To get some signature on my "character" certificate

[hollow bone]

Look, it's okay. You just gotta get used to feeling dumb. Just make sure your stay persistent

[molten bobcat]

[rapid swallow]

smart ass

i need to find another job

[eternal mango]

Why would we have an OSWE3 thing?

[rapid swallow]

this company scares me

[rapid swallow]

looks cooler and is like an objective builder

[eternal mango]

What do you mean?

[slate whale]

Not staying persistent is totally why I cant progress

[eternal mango]

Isn't OSWE offsec?

[hollow bone]

Be the man who lost, not a looser who never tried

[raven rain]

i think they're referring to like a badge for getting a collection of certs

[rapid swallow]

Oh yes but i meant HTB have there own Type

[eternal mango]

Ohhh

[hollow bone]

Yes yes it's

[spark mulch]

i read it as being a third web path after CWEE

[rapid swallow]

:/

[eternal mango]

Nothing I'm aware of tbh on that

but as we have the profile now.. would kinda be a nice thing to award for those that catch 'em all

[raven rain]

i've got the HTB intermediate cert trifecta

[eternal mango]

But what would that mean

[raven rain]

i dunno

[rapid swallow]

yeah im a catch them all guy

[eternal mango]

Like another cert, a badge, coin, thing on the website?

[azure wasp]

I have been here watching for hours instead of learning

[molten bobcat]

I'm just a shield guy

[azure wasp]

Ima go learn

[molten bobcat]

Have fun, come back if you need help

[azure wasp]

Im gonna do "Introduction to Information Security" but im reading the description and im already idk to much text

[eternal mango]

Just do it

[raven rain]

you will do lots of reading in cyber and IT in general

[spark mulch]

if you don't like looking at text then a career that is almost entirely text-based might be a bit offputting for you

[azure wasp]

Yes but text

[eternal mango]

Dooooo it

[azure wasp]

[azure wasp]

Ok i will try

[raven rain]

i hate reading but i gotta do what i oughtta yabba dabba doo

[rapid swallow]

life

[green kite]

WIIIILMAAAAA

[azure wasp]

I just read the description

I dont remember anything

The whole module is much text😭

there are 5 main things first has 2 sections, 2nd has 8 sections, 3rd has 5 sections, 4th has 4 sections, 5th has 5 sections, all much text

I try to note like different nmap "-" but idk how to note all this

Or remember

[molten bobcat]

It's okay

Just write it down once

And then forget it

[azure wasp]

Write what down

[molten bobcat]

If it becomes relevant

Well, summarize the text in your own words

[azure wasp]

What words

Its all text everywhere i look

[rapid badger]

Have you considered a forklift licence ?

[humble wyvern]

This is not for him

[azure wasp]

24 sections text everywhere estimated 2 hours🥀

[humble wyvern]

Are you on a certain spectrum?

[eternal mango]

Aren't we all

[azure wasp]

Is this bullying

[humble wyvern]

I definitely am

[eternal mango]

Then why say something like that?

🤷‍♂️

[humble wyvern]

Im relating to him

Or her

[azure wasp]

Him

[eternal mango]

Ok, well.. could've easily been misconstrued

but that's what we do I guess. confuse the f out of everything

[humble wyvern]

I apologise for how that sounded.

[azure wasp]

It's ok

[eternal mango]

Man text is a pain in the arse sometimes

[humble wyvern]

Bruh fr

[rapid badger]

Reading is for nerds anyway

[eternal mango]

I tried tts but it couldn't say certain words correctly

[frozen zinc]

I will start selling cat ears that are actually ESP32-based Meshtastic mesh relay nodes so you can look like a catgirl AND be critical communications infrastructure simultaneously

[eternal mango]

This guy I worked with was legally blind, he read everything with tts

...at 250% speed

[humble wyvern]

Yea, I mean. People do videos on modules and wlak you through it

[eternal mango]

Dude was a sponge, absorbed everything

[humble wyvern]

Lovley

[azure wasp]

Superpower

[humble wyvern]

I mean he has one less thing to worry about ig. I would not mind not seeing some things in this world

[eternal mango]

If only his superpower included forseeing the 50% tax rate introduced on online gambling just before we were due to go live

Two years of work, flushed down the drain

RIP

We were about to be the first peer to peer betting site back in the uhh, mid 2000s

Then that happened and totally sunk the whole thing

Probably for the best

It was all in ASP

[azure wasp]

Damn

[eternal mango]

Would've been nice to see it live though

[azure wasp]

So the government wants 50%

[supple plume]

this bb is hard af

[raven rain]

someone holding a bb pellet for the first time:

[eternal mango]

Oh, my mistake, it was 15%

But for a startup with almost zero capital and a tight string

Ripperonie pepperonie

[undone fossil]

yeahh rip :(

[molten bobcat]

Heya froj

[past wigeon]

i recently found out you can search it like you do with pagers (less?) press / then type your string and hit enter /Example takes you right to any examples in the man page

[past wigeon]

was the curacao/aruba "exploit" not around or known back then?

[eternal mango]

Tax evasion?

[past wigeon]

Oh Tax, not certain about taxation there though i imagine its very low because of the environment. I for some reason read tax evasion but saw "law evasion"

[eternal mango]

The guy did try moving everything offshore, but he simply didn't have enough capital left

So he sold up what was left and moved on

[azure wasp]

Who here did Introduction to Information Security

[past wigeon]

right on. seems like if he could've just made it over that hurlde he would've been golden, at least for a time.

i mean hell there was one that had hackers inside it figuring out the poker cards before they were dealt in real time and i believe peopel STILL use that casino platform so places like that still prob do gangbusters even after some shit happens

"dealt"

"cards"

[eternal mango]

hehe

[past wigeon]

ykwimt

[eternal mango]

It was more betting on events, allowing for custom bets and rates between users

Bit like polymarket now

..but 20 years ago

..and nowhere near as advanced

Was P2P user defined betting platform

[past wigeon]

oh, not too shabby then. way less upkeep and headache with the environment shame that didnt take off for yall

[eternal mango]

mmm, well if it did take off

I wouldn't have ended up here

so I count my stars

[slate whale]

Do you have a job related to CS and did HTB help you a lot ? It looks like HTB is amazing but I juste did meow

Hello, any active mods here?

[eternal mango]

I'm not a mod, but depending on what it's regarding I may be able to advise

[manic bison]

can I dm?

[eternal mango]

Sure

Mods are there for issues regarding the server, not for asking how to become a mod @manic bison

You could've just asked that question here, and gotten an honest response

[azure remnant]

Dont ask to... thing

[manic bison]

I thought it would be the same answer here or in the DMs.

[supple plume]

I'm wasting the best years of my life starting at things that I don't even understand

[azure wasp]

Goblin did u do Introduction to Information Security

[obtuse fern]

g0b is the intro to infosec

[eternal mango]

Woah woah hold up

🤣

[eternal mango]

No, sorry - best to ask your questions in #modules for Academy Modules

[slow vault]

How do I sync my HTB rank to my Discord role?

[raven rain]

it's automagically synced

[azure wasp]

I don't have any questions regarding it

[raven rain]

if you got a rank increase it should update soon

[eternal mango]

Do they need to be verified?

[raven rain]

perhaps.. @slow vault try verifying your account -> #how-to-talk message

[eternal mango]

Old hat

😄

Well.. before the verification changes anyway

[slow vault]

Yeah I might've also removed the link when cleaning up my Discord security settings a few months ago

I re-connected it and it worked now

[eternal mango]

Noice, there we go 🙂

[slow vault]

Proud script kiddie!!! 🤣

[heady sage]

quad stretch coming up

[void folio]

sorry to bother everyone with such stuff i have this message when i want to start machine although i have vip+ membership

[slow vault]

Click "Connected" in the top right of the website

[void folio]

but in vpns there are only these:

[void folio]

this is what i have there

[slow vault]

Starting Point is the second one

[eternal mango]

Click on Starting Point to select a different server

[void folio]

i am connected on it and its giving me this

[slow vault]

There is some magic in the backend that detects when you connect, I would just re-download the .ovpn and make sure you run openvpn ___ on your Kali box

[eternal mango]

After you click on Starting Point, you should see this

[void folio]

oh perfect, thank you a lot!

[eternal mango]

Well, that's showing the dropdown

[void folio]

thank you a lot fo help! @dense turtle and @eternal mango than you a lot!

[dense turtle]

Time.Started.....: Thu Feb 26 16:33:41 2026, (10 mins, 13 secs)
Time.Estimated...: Wed Mar  4 07:11:04 2026, (5 days, 14 hours)

[supple plume]

You should have started 5 days ago

[dense turtle]

u right, michine released 21, but i just arrived 22 or 23

[supple plume]

No excuses

[azure wasp]

All this time and i only read two sections of Introduction to Information Security so 22 left

And i dont remember a single thing

How am i supossed to learn🥀

[dense turtle]

tomorrow read again

[void folio]

thank You for help!

[azure wasp]

To much text

[dense turtle]

u dont have choice

[eternal mango]

You will never remember all of it

Try to understand it more than remember it

[azure wasp]

I dont remember anything and its too much to read again if i have to do the same to 22 sections more that has an estimated time of 2 hours

I read it and i just like dont understand it and kinda forget

2 hours isnt much but theres no way thats the estimated time

What ctf or smth can i do thats easiest

[eternal mango]

It can't be an accurate estimate for everyone. You said you've read two sections of that module, in how long?

[azure wasp]

Idk abit after complaining to i sent the message saying i read 2 sections

[azure wasp]

from about here

I tried with tts it was easier but i feel like more flew over my head

[eternal mango]

All I can say is, try to keep at it

It might be a lot of text, but you can't give up after just a couple of pages

Try to keep reading through the rest of the module, it doesn't have to be all at once

You'll be surprised how much information actually sticks around without you even realising it

Take a break, come back later, or another day. Try to set aside some time each day to spend 30m or 1hr reading a few sections

It will get easier. You may want to read over what you have before, and then you will be surprised as to how much you recognise I think.

You don't have to complete everything in a day 🙂

[azure wasp]

Yeah

I checked linux fundamentals its also much text and many sections

[dense turtle]

Small steps, consistently, lead to big growth

[azure wasp]

yes

except im probably still on introduction to information security i think it was and linux fundamentals by 2027

Ok see yall tomorrow ima go to sleep

Goodnight folks

[eternal mango]

Security is a pretty deep and technical field. Like we said, keep your effort consistent, an hour or so every day. If you stick to it, things will start to sink in and the modules you move on to will not feel quite so daunting.

There is a lot of text, these are the foundations, a lot of base knowledge that will serve you well going forward

[dense turtle]

And guess what, you’ll be millions of steps ahead of the people who never started or those who gave up along the way.

Rest well.
We’ll see you here again tomorrow.

[eternal mango]

Keep at it, keep chipping away and reading and soon enough you will be practicing what you have learned in practical exercises.

As I said, you will be surprised as to how much your brain actually retains when learning like this.

Good luck, and keep at it 🙂

Nobody starts off knowing everything, it's something you have to dedicate and stick to. You'll improve in time, just as everyone else has

Starting is the hardest part, and you've done that!

Well, for me I feel it is when approaching something new

[humble wyvern]

oh for sure

i have had the CompTIA Security+ and CompTIA Network+

is it worth taking the exams for these? or just having the knowledge is good enough?

[eternal mango]

I've not had any experience with those I'm afraid

[humble wyvern]

ahh fair enough

i did work experience in year 10 for school (ive graduated now) and i did it at a cyber security company, he wrote me out a list of stuff i shoul;d complete

and those were on it

[eternal mango]

Someone will probably reply here sooner or later, but you could ask in #careers-and-certs too

[humble wyvern]

ooo sweet, i'll post the list i got from him in there and get some feedback and ask for some tweaks

[slow vault]

when I was a new grad several years ago with a BS in Cybersecurity and Security+, I could not even get a call back for a junior security analyst position

a couple years later I was working for a US government contractor as an IT analyst and all IT staff were required to have Security+, so it saved me a few months of having to study for that, although they probably would have just paid me to do it

[humble wyvern]

i see, better to have it and not need it then to not have it and need it

[slow vault]

So I would say the cert is not going to get you a job but more knowledge is always better

[slow vault]

Yeah

[humble wyvern]

i love knowledge in areas im interested in

[humble wyvern]

check out the list i posted in the #careers-and-certs do u have any suggestions?

[eternal mango]

Uhhhhhhm... pass tbh

Probably best to hit up support in the morning, sorry

AFAIK balances when redeemed from gift cards and recorded against that currency

They do not automatically convert between currency, so they would'nt like.. merge as it were

It's definitely something to chat with support about, sorry

No worries, they'll sort you out

Yall ever cook half a brick in the air fryer….

probably vibe coded the mcp integration

[hollow sparrow]

of cann?

[hollow sparrow]

always has been

[eternal mango]

🤷‍♂️ probably.. missing something as simple as safely handling parameters to be inserted into a command. Sorry, but that's a real whoopsie

[eternal mango]

They're not storing usernames and passwords..

Anyway whatever

womp womp

[hollow sparrow]

im a noob its looking at the password and username file

Was recently chilling on youtube when I was pleasantly surprised to see a Veritasium vid on the whole xz backdoor hack

Guess cybersecurity is mainstream now

[eternal mango]

Noice 🙂 Yeah saw that on the playlist but haven't watched yet

It actually does a bit of an analysis on the attack logic which was actually very interesting.
