[olive idol]

what idiot what do that

[graceful pendant]

I personally love my red name and rank symbol and Ive grown really attached to the color

[mystic harbor]

Don't get too attached to never progress

[graceful pendant]

I fully stopped during the season and doing boxes cus I like the color

[sharp shuttle]

so what if i do

[iron galleon]

i need it

bro my brain will not stop chasing dopamine x_x

[sharp shuttle]

Yeah well, i supply half of hollywood blood and half of hack the box bloods, you want a taste? first ones free

[iron galleon]

im 2 fuked for this rn

[sharp shuttle]

what are you even talking about

[iron galleon]

i think my nervous system is dysregulated or some bullshit

i can't explain it like i feel high and i'm not

the same behaviors i would normally be doing are occuring

not in a good way

why am i even talking about this here

[graceful pendant]

oversharing and trauma dumping is the #general way

[iron galleon]

bro it's like i'm tryna do hack the box work and i end up in this god forsaken channel

[iron galleon]

it's easy bc i cba to care abt what usernames think abt what i say like

it's horrible opsec for one

[graceful pendant]

opsec is cringe

just self dox like a chad

[iron galleon]

i wish i could be perfect and just do my fukin work

[eternal mango]

Don't try to be perfect, just try to be better, a little bit at a time

[iron galleon]

yeah

[eternal mango]

If you don't feel good about being here, and it's interrupting what you want to be doing, then take a break

It'll help

[iron galleon]

im prolly gonna keep discord closed tbh

[eternal mango]

It'll always be here when you feel like returning

[mystic harbor]

Do less and be consistent always the best way to not be stuck and tired

[graceful pendant]

[civic lance]

AYOOOO

I pwned a machine by myselfffg

[civic lance]

Wait does it count

That I used Google

And found someone gitbook notes on the same thing I was attacking?

The same port

I looked at the write up after pwning and realize oh it was far more simpler

[warped plank]

If it's not a direct writeup then it counts

[civic lance]

I was trying to figure out how to gain access to an rsync port 873

Still fairly new

And then found a gitbook online

With commands

And explanation

Used it and worked

So maybe I was spoon fed

[cerulean bloom]

-# this aint an active machine, right?

[civic lance]

Nah it’s a starting point machine

[cerulean bloom]

ah

[civic lance]

I didn’t look at hints or write up

[cerulean bloom]

I should do those just in case

[eternal mango]

So long as you learned something, and didn't just copy pasta copy pasta.. that's all that matters imho

Learning is learning, repeating without understanding is just being a parrot

ParrotOS is fine

[warped plank]

Also strongly recommend experimenting with what you found interesting on the machine

[civic lance]

Will do

Imma do another easy machine

Or box wtv

I wanna make a habit of documenting the machines I pwned

Like how I figure it out

In my obsidian

Vault

[eternal mango]

An excellent habit to get in to

[civic lance]

Yeah, I should start doing that

I heard someone said pentesting on the job is mostly reading and writing reports😭

[stark dagger]

somethign i wish i had done early on. my notes in the beginning are scratch pads at best and its habit i cant seem to break lol

[warped plank]

You gonna ever share your notes?

[civic lance]

Oooo looo at me

I’m doin a box with no guided question😭

This feels like riding a bike without training wheels

I recognized it’s an HTTP address

But when I put the IP in my search bar

Site can’t be reached

[warped plank]

Behold: the hosts file

[civic lance]

But it does mention the site belonging to HTB

[warped plank]

Essentially local DNS

Oh damn grats homie

[slate whale]

I am doing Meow again and I get this : Nmap scan report for 10.129.17.38
Host is up.
All 1000 scanned ports on 10.129.17.38 are in ignored states.

[terse dirge]

@supple plume wakey wakey it's kuberentes time! 🔥

[slate whale]

I am on a real Kali Linux computer

[slate whale]

Is it normal ?

I scan like this : nmap -sC -sV <IP>

[terse mulch]

Don't know the box myself, but if none op the 1000 ports come up, you should either expand your tcp port scan surface and run as extra the top 100 UDP scan.

[slate whale]

Good idea I will try !

It will take 1 hour

[terse mulch]

coffeetime I guess

[slate whale]

It is the first Starting point machine though

[terse mulch]

hmm that is strange.

You already reverted the machine just to be sure?

[slate whale]

You mean started it ?

I maybe should use a VM

[terse mulch]

Oh you are using pwnbox?

[slate whale]

A real Kali Machine

[terse mulch]

Uh okay, well a VM should be sufficient.

[slate whale]

I will try

[terse dirge]

we must cluster!

[slate whale]

Looks like by using pwnbox you get the open ports but not with a real machine

It's strange

Does the time of using pwnbox reset each day ? I am using it free

[terse dirge]

no

[slate whale]

Oh

I have to find a solution for the nmap scans with a real computer then

Thanks

This time, it doesn't work even in pwmbox : sudo nmap -sC -sV -Pn 10.129.6.163

I FOUND THE PROBLEM : The VPN wasn't connected well

[cerulean bloom]

I just realized I tried Guardian (the active machine that is retiring tomorrow) like months ago, got VERY close to user flag, said I was gonna continue the next day, forgot about it and never came back to it LOL
Completed the machine today YIPEEEEEEEEE

[muted olive]

nice

[warped plank]

*looks around to publish my writeup tomorrow... turns out I didn't do the machine *

[cerulean bloom]

LOL

[warped plank]

It was released just as I did CPTS then never got around to doing it

[cerulean bloom]

I just saw it retiring soon, saw it was linux, so I was like
let's try it, 3 minutes in, I distinctly remember doing this box

[cerulean bloom]

lol

[slate whale]

What knowledge do you need to solve the boxes ?

I am always stuck so maybe if I learn before doing it would be great

[cerulean bloom]

the fundamentals, how to google/search exploits well, general exploits, etc.

[slate whale]

Ok so you learn by doing

[cerulean bloom]

not necessarily

there are parts you can learn by doing

but you need to actualy learn stuff first

hands-on labs do help

[slate whale]

I think I will learn networking

And that's the biggest part Ig

[cerulean bloom]

that's a good base to learn to start cyber

however, I will say that learning networking won't MASSIVELY improve your box "solving skills" immediately, but it is very important

[slate whale]

Ok thanks

[sturdy thistle]

its' friday

FFFFFRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAYYYYYY

[slate whale]

I WAS IN HOLIDAY NOW I WILL GO TO SCHOOL

I am doing the Cap starting point. instead of doing with tcp I want to use ssh. I wrote a bash script that automates with brute force. Now I found the username but not the password

What is the most common passwords

are*

You should look at the web server instead.

Brute forcing is normally not the answer on HTB boxes

Hi guys i have question there is any way for learning hack ?

[cerulean bloom]

how was the driving test

[west lynx]

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

[supple plume]

@teal axle

[odd abyss]

Hello guys!

[sturdy thistle]

Oh man

[supple plume]

not really

in htb the learning is about hacking within the boundaries of the law not targeting a specific company, although the techniques can be used on bug bounties but if you try to ask for illegal stuff you will have a lot of problems in this server

[teal axle]

Okok thank you

[supple plume]

good luck in your journey

[heady sage]

Can I do Wordpress with you?

[cerulean bloom]

oh

[sturdy thistle]

[zealous charm]

"claude plz find wp bugz"

[sturdy thistle]

Kinda

You forgot „make no mistakes“

[muted olive]

i hate claude these days. it'll go around in circles and end up confusing itself 🤣

[zealous charm]

here are some of my tips ive found from using it for the past 2 weeks:

1. for serious code review dont let it delegate to haiku or even sonnet tbh, Opus is expensive but gets results.
2. sometimes agents will stop after the first X lines, so be sure to ask for a line-by-line or source-to-sink review.
3. "context amnesia" when it compacts is the worst. I have a JSON file that it writes to to track progress, this has gotten a little better with its use of memory.md though

and of course, tell it to make no mistakes

[muted olive]

yup all good points. I cant use opus because no money 🥲 so most of the time, I use sonnet

also nice method of writing progress to a file, I'll start doing that from next time

But tbh Codex is really good

Easier than downloading zip and uploading to Claude

@lime trout Maybe it’s better to submit a ticket? 😴

[clever goblet]

Just wanted to drop some feedback on the new Academy 2.0 interface. Not gonna lie, I'm not a huge fan of the update because it's actually slowing down my workflow. I really miss the old layout where my active path was right at the top of the front page and I didn't have to click a few buttons and scroll to find the module im interested in. Another thing that's driving me crazy is not being able to right click and open things in a new tab. I used to constantly right click modules from the main page or specific topics inside a module to open them in separate tabs, but 2.0 just blocks that completely. On top of that, the new design squishes the text together way too much so I'm scrolling constantly just to read through the same amount of content. And the new side panel feels really cluttered and honestly kind of rough to navigate. It would have been better if it floated at the side where the user currently is but again it would have defeated the purpose if you won't even allow the user to open the new topic in another tab. The older simpler UI was just better for actually getting things done. It would be awesome if you guys didn't force everyone onto 2.0 and maybe just let the toggle stay so we could stick with the legacy interface if we wanted to.

[cerulean bloom]

probably better for /feedback

[clever goblet]

okay, i'll just copy paste.

[calm cedar]

[ocean marsh]

yo, which anime is that in your banner?

looks cool

[manic hare]

it's from the visual novel Katawa Shoujo

[pastel pike]

Yea I did yesterday with some of the stuff that toofpaste mentioned too

I really just hope they don’t force people to make the switch like they’re planning to. I hope they can reverse that decision for now

[crude nest]

bigger text is awesome, and the only reason I use academy 2.0.
But I do not like that right clicking is not possible anymore, it is also way too hard to revisit modules in the path you are currently doing and I dont need to see my cert everytime I visit the homepage instead of the path that I am working on

[pastel pike]

It’s way too much scrolling, even on the main page where you can see the path modules. Inside a module the text is all compressed into a smaller rectangle now and there’s too much empty space in the side margins. Personally I like being able to fill up the whole screen with text. I don’t like the LinkedIn post type format it currently has lol

[ocean marsh]

academy 2.0 should have a subway surfers gameplay on the side of the text, otherwise its too hard to focus

[clever goblet]

exactly my point. why waste so much space. And if you want bigger text, you can always zoom in tho the page.

my only request would be to not force users to migrate. Keep all of us happy lol.

[pastel pike]

Yes 100%

[crimson crypt]

Oh

[heady sage]

Thanks Micky

then, if you want smaller text, you can always zoom out

Old

[rustic carbon]

@austere sinew

[crude nest]

Bro the Text is like 2px bigger (I actually checked). But I see hiding the Table of contents and making the text using that space instead of just centering would be cool. But it's all css, throw the page into AI. ask it to do it how you want and edit it via Stylus.

[ocean marsh]

In academy 1.0 I would use ublock and just zap everything

to have centered text

[clever goblet]

my whole point was that the new UI hinders my productivity and workflow.

[snow wraith]

and also the blue color for links was better than the green one

[manic anvil]

so i can put subway or any ASMR video on the side while studying ?

[molten bobcat]

Yesterday sucked lmaooo

Things are much better today

[west venture]

I disagree

[chrome tree]

Just be careful, cause if you build the tolerance and get addicted to energy drinks it's a pain in the rear. I'm trying to stick to coffee and tea but bad habits die hard

[molten bobcat]

Spent most of my day making emergency vet visits for Tidus

[azure wasp]

What happened

[molten bobcat]

Allergic reaction to the rabies vaccine

Poor dude 🙁

[azure wasp]

Damn

[molten bobcat]

He's back to himself this morning, he even woke me up this morning

[azure wasp]

That's good atleast

[molten bobcat]

Yep, all good over here 🙂

[azure wasp]

But isn't there ER for animals

[west venture]

I found out that if you pretend really hard like something is true, it really does become true. Like I was pretending my elbow was purple, and now it actually is purple.

[molten bobcat]

Non life threatening stuff can be triaged and handled at the vet

[red moat]

@molten bobcat can I dm

[molten bobcat]

Thankfully it wasn't life threatening

Nah I'm available here

[azure wasp]

Good that he's normal now atleast

[molten bobcat]

Yep! I was a nervous wreck over him yesterday

[azure wasp]

I understand

[red moat]

It is private and time sensitive sir. You may find it heavily interests you

[molten bobcat]

No thank you

[chrome tree]

Sir, you might need to see a doctor.

[azure wasp]

Food in the sofa

[molten bobcat]

[chrome tree]

[molten bobcat]

Cats can just do that I didn't train him lmao

[azure wasp]

Is this some secret spiderman project?

[urban radish]

i dont know if this is off topic or not but... is it normal behavior for my nickname to change in the server?

[azure wasp]

[cerulean bloom]

[urban radish]

[ornate ibex]

Did you delete your HTB Account?

[cerulean bloom]

[urban radish]

[molten bobcat]

Reverify with bot

[cerulean bloom]

@urban radish

[molten bobcat]

It'll sync back up

[cerulean bloom]

ohhh, that might work

[molten bobcat]

[red moat]

@violet quartz

[molten bobcat]

Quit tagging people

[azure wasp]

why

[molten bobcat]

Not you, him

That's a random person who isn't active

[red moat]

It is seriousrulebreaker

He is always active

[chrome tree]

@seadris

[molten bobcat]

Their name has been changed because it's the same as the command lol

[red moat]

True

[azure wasp]

If i hold down alt and click letters i get cool letters

Ħ€łłœ

[molten bobcat]

[molten bobcat]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt_code

[cerulean bloom]

[molten bobcat]

In #bot-commands you can use a slash command to reverify your htb account and fix your username

[ornate ibex]

It is deleted. Confirmed.

[molten bobcat]

Oh word

[molten bobcat]

This is Pokémon FireRed

[cerulean bloom]

ahhhhhh, noice

[molten bobcat]

Because it's 10:51 in the morning and I start work at 12?

I don't think it's healthy for ones growth to only focus on their career

[azure wasp]

yes

[cerulean bloom]

people gotta relax sometimes

[molten bobcat]

Indeed!

[azure wasp]

I meant like doing it for fun not career for me its a hobby

[molten bobcat]

It's a field that requires a shitload of mental fortitude

[rustic carbon]

yo your pfp is that hacker from the movie

[cerulean bloom]

real lol

[molten bobcat]

I do on the weekends sometimes!

[cerulean bloom]

wellll, you get burned out sometimes

[azure wasp]

yes its a series

[azure wasp]

tuff

[manic anvil]

the movie about the hacker?

[azure wasp]

yeah

[molten bobcat]

But sometimes I just need a smoke and to play video games lol

[cerulean bloom]

I feeel ya, but my parents don't allow me to play 🙁

[azure wasp]

What are you specialized in

[molten bobcat]

I specialize in defense

[rustic carbon]

idk man I watched its clips only

[azure wasp]

What there

[rustic carbon]

[manic anvil]

just joking lol its called Mr Robot

[molten bobcat]

What there?

[manic anvil]

i got disappointed not because the job it self lol but i thought because of the name you would be in some cloud service job

[molten bobcat]

I dont understand the question lol

[molten bobcat]

Lol, I'm just a final fantasy fan

[manic anvil]

oh lol that cloud

[cerulean bloom]

like I think they are asking for something a bit more specific
what in defense, what area in defense do you specialize in

[azure wasp]

Like security engineer and stuff

[molten bobcat]

I'm a security analyst

I handle investigations

[azure wasp]

And you smoke

[rustic carbon]

dopamine cravings

[azure wasp]

Are you elliot

[molten bobcat]

No

[azure wasp]

[molten bobcat]

Because that show is very much fictional

Lol

[azure wasp]

Yes

[molten bobcat]

I'm just a guy

[molten bobcat]

Not really

[rustic carbon]

yes

[molten bobcat]

It's moreso that humans are not designed to do a single task forever

[rustic carbon]

you dont need to smoke to survive my guy

[cerulean bloom]

https://klipy.com/gifs/chill-guy-1

[manic anvil]

also elliot didnt do anything defensive i think

[molten bobcat]

He did

[rustic carbon]

then do arts and creative task, complex puzzles

[molten bobcat]

He was a security analyst for AllSafe

[azure wasp]

He worked as a security engineer

wasnt it engineer?

[cerulean bloom]

people can prefer what they prefer

[manic anvil]

oh lol right

[molten bobcat]

This is dumb lol

Do you?

[rustic carbon]

yeah and thats dopamine that they prefer

[rustic carbon]

ofc

[molten bobcat]

Do you ignore your hobbies in favor of "intellectual" pursuits?

[rustic carbon]

Smoking is a hobby

[placid finch]

Anyone having issues with connectivity on labs or boxes?

[azure wasp]

I wish i got dopamine from reading

[cerulean bloom]

what if they are your hobbies (no srsly)

[molten bobcat]

Bringing up the smoking thing repeatedly as if that's an insult is funny

[rustic carbon]

thats the excuse people come up with now, a hobby that is i jurious to health

[azure wasp]

Guinelly how do yall sit and read all the text in the modules and so many sections?

[molten bobcat]

Smoking is not a hobby I just smoke lol

[cerulean bloom]

you take it slow

write notes

[rustic carbon]

nono i dont insult, I respect you, but its a craving man

[cerulean bloom]

take a break

[molten bobcat]

I was referring to "taking a break"

[azure wasp]

I do read slow

[rustic carbon]

then take a break

smoking isn't taking a break,

[molten bobcat]

It sure is lmao

[cerulean bloom]

not like read slow, but like take a break once in a while

[azure wasp]

I try but it's not much that comes to mind that idk how i note it

[cerulean bloom]

hmmm

lets see

[azure wasp]

I take brakes to but they last days

Im now trying to get back to cyber security tho

[cerulean bloom]

yeah, better to take more breaks but shorter

[azure wasp]

I used to be able to this one called Mr.Robot its a machine from vulnhub

[molten bobcat]

So!

I'm of the opinion that

Familiarity with something brings comfort

[rustic carbon]

Tobacco and smoking are not hobbies, but rather dangerous, addictive habits that kill over 7 million people annually. They are leading causes of preventable death, causing cancer, cardiovascular, and respiratory diseases. If you wanna do it you can but remember its not a break, it will be THE BREAK.

[molten bobcat]

Good thing it's not tobacco

[rustic carbon]

I have seen it my family, my maternal uncle, passed due to his habits

[azure wasp]

Now i gotta learn linux fundamentals, networking, basic tools, i dont even remember what else, all over again🥀

[rustic carbon]

he said at the end fine ill die but at least ill die doing what I love, but really he was an addict

[azure wasp]

U smoke daily?

[rustic carbon]

its called binding and intoxicating, its always your choice but be mindful and be in control

[molten bobcat]

Mostly after work

[azure wasp]

Rest in peace

[molten bobcat]

I am always mindful and in control 😄

[azure wasp]

Rich

[rustic carbon]

then don't do it for 1 year

[molten bobcat]

Thank you for the concern I promise I am being careful

[azure wasp]

I have never seen that stuff kill someone really

Or hospital unless it's laced

[rustic carbon]

Ok its your choice afterall, look entertainment is necessary but unfortunately biology is also to be maintained for survival

[molten bobcat]

Anyway

[azure wasp]

C1oud is it allowed to talk about that in here?

[sturdy thistle]

Leeg daaaayyy

[molten bobcat]

There are children so I don't

[rapid swallow]

https://tenor.com/view/baby-cute-girl-cry-gif-19535456

[sturdy thistle]

Me after leg day

[azure wasp]

they probably do it aswell

[molten bobcat]

Regardless I am mostly wanting to share that

I used to be in your seat?

It's just practice

[azure wasp]

I workout at home just cardio and biceps

[azure wasp]

My seat?

[molten bobcat]

It's an expression meaning I have been in your place before

[elfin tendon]

Hey staff I have a ticket and there is no reply on it since days what can I do to get attention on that? It's related to orders...

[azure wasp]

Learning part?

[molten bobcat]

Ya

[azure wasp]

damn

So how does it get better i mean u still gotta learn and read? i heard that there's no end it's always more

[rustic carbon]

🦵

[molten bobcat]

Do you know who Sisyphus is?

[azure wasp]

No

[sturdy thistle]

Im not in support anymore

[rapid badger]

No, just yap on discord magically get smarter

[molten bobcat]

It's a Greek tale

[azure wasp]

That's what im doing now

[molten bobcat]

About a man punished by the gods

To roll a boulder up a mountain

[sturdy thistle]

If it’s about swagshop, reach out to [e-mail]

[molten bobcat]

Only to have it roll to the bottom when he's done

[rustic carbon]

every man in Greece is punished by God

[elfin tendon]

Oh I mean ur staff so I thought you'd know better what should I do next

[elfin tendon]

Yeah I mailed them but i got no reply, I sent them 2 reminder mails

[azure wasp]

But wont it be like rolling uphill first then just on a road going kinda upwards since first its gonna be the hardest then you learn but its still gonna be lots of text

[molten bobcat]

There's a famous poem about this divine punishment that.. one must imagine Sisyphus happy

[sturdy thistle]

Maybe contact support so they can investigate it further

Sorry that I can’t help you

[molten bobcat]

Because Sisyphus has been gifted eternal purpose.

[elfin tendon]

Yess where can I contact support I'm sorry

[west lynx]

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

[sturdy thistle]

There you go

[elfin tendon]

Okayyyy ty

Love you man

[sturdy thistle]

Love you too

[molten bobcat]

Do you get what I'm saying though?

[sturdy thistle]

And you too @molten bobcat

[azure wasp]

yes kinda i think

[molten bobcat]

Despite having.. an unending amount of work

For no purpose

[rustic carbon]

one thing I have noticed is that this server has a lot of adults and millennial people

[molten bobcat]

Sisyphus is happy

Because he gave it a purpose

It's his purpose and no one else's

[rustic carbon]

thm has a lot of gen alpha

and genz

[safe vessel]

Is python is important for ethical hacking and Cybersecurity?

[azure wasp]

yes

[molten bobcat]

So he can focus on rolling the boulder up the hill, while taking in the positive of his life too.

[azure wasp]

yes

[molten bobcat]

Cybersecurity feels the same to me

I'm aware I'm not going to stop all cybercrime

But I have to fight

Who else will?

[safe vessel]

But I know java.java is possible to learn hacking

[sturdy thistle]

I know I’m old

Thanks for reminding me

[manic anvil]

time to do more cybercrime so there is more work

[azure wasp]

Its positive for me cause i like it (not the learning part) its my hobby but i try to read but its just too much and my notes are like a long copy paste

[sturdy thistle]

Time to install qubes

[safe vessel]

Hacking*

[rustic carbon]

As a senior tier 2 ( Korean APT catcher) how do you fail simple exam like CDSA? @molten bobcat

[sturdy thistle]

Simple?

[rustic carbon]

Yes

[molten bobcat]

Go fuck yourself moron lmao

[rustic carbon]

It's fairly rudamentary

[sturdy thistle]

Then do it

[rustic carbon]

Idk how how an expert would

[azure wasp]

What's that

[rustic carbon]

An exam with lower failure rate on HTB got failed by the mega expert

[molten bobcat]

Don't worry about it, its an alt account of some dipshit

[sturdy thistle]

Please stop trolling

[rustic carbon]

😩

[civic lance]

One day I’ll hold all the HTB certs like infinity stones

[rustic carbon]

Hater

[molten bobcat]

People really hate me for some reason lmao

[azure wasp]

Yeah

[rustic carbon]

People dislike you because you're pompous and cannot pass exams without writeups ;)))

[molten bobcat]

Lul

Good luck proving that, I have never cheated in my life

[sturdy thistle]

Any mod please?

[molten bobcat]

I firmly believe in academic integrity

[azure wasp]

[civic lance]

U don’t have perms?

[molten bobcat]

Imagine buying an alt account from 2023 to fuck with me

What a genuine pussy

[cerulean bloom]

well, mickhat was asking for a mod because someone is trolling

[azure wasp]

Who could it be

[cerulean bloom]

so I helped him pinging the role

[molten bobcat]

Who could it beeee now 🎶

[cerulean bloom]

If that is abusing it, I'm very confused

[ornate ibex]

what is the issue?

[alpine pumice]

That's not a serious rule break

[rustic carbon]

👆

[civic lance]

Damn he pinged all the mods

[molten bobcat]

Im being accused of being an exam cheater lol

That's what's happening lol

[civic lance]

On HTB?

[sturdy thistle]

@alpine pumice the red ping isn’t available for me

[molten bobcat]

I guess I failed an exam and also pass exams with writeups?

Make it make sense lmao

[cerulean bloom]

my apologies, but again, mickhat was asking for it, so I was just helping
again, my apologies, I disagree with this, but I won't do it again for this type of situation

[sturdy thistle]

So it’s ok that he pinged red

[cerulean bloom]

someone is clearly trolling

🤷

[alpine pumice]

You can always DM a mod for mod related things

[ornate ibex]

sorry, I didn't follow the entire chat. who?

[molten bobcat]

@rustic carbon

[rustic carbon]

Is that why you used chatgpt in the middle of your OSCP exam to fix an exploit?

[cerulean bloom]

UnsanctionedChimpEvent

[civic lance]

He cheated on the exam?

[molten bobcat]

It wasn't available at the time I took my exam lmaoooo

[azure wasp]

Isn't that allowed

[cerulean bloom]

no

[cerulean bloom]

no

[rustic carbon]

🤯

[azure wasp]

Damn

[molten bobcat]

What year did I take my exam?

Since apparently you know so much about me

[rustic carbon]

I just know that the North Korean APT catcher tier 8 soc analyzer cannot complete CDSA without buying a writeup

[molten bobcat]

Lmaooo

[azure wasp]

Are you north korean

[west venture]

Who is that?

[rustic carbon]

Log nomad ahh

[cerulean bloom]

[azure wasp]

Mods sleeping

[alpine pumice]

Stop trolling

[molten bobcat]

His typing pattern doesn't match anything I know lol

[sturdy thistle]

@molten bobcat just ignore him and move on

[molten bobcat]

This is a new loser

No no

I'm genuinely curious about why this guy thinks he's anything to me

[azure wasp]

Now im curious too

[hazy spruce]

Hello all

[molten bobcat]

Like, genuinely who are you?

[azure wasp]

hello

[molten bobcat]

I failed an exam? Oh no?

Someone call the cops?

Too bad I still have a job :/

[west venture]

Should I ban him?

[molten bobcat]

Pointing out that a human being made a mistake isnt the burn you think it is lmao

[supple plume]

I enjoy appreciating the audacity of these newcomers trying to gaslight skilled hackers around here

[molten bobcat]

"you used chatgpt during your OSCP"

First of all

I have never once used chatgpt

I do not like AI

[manic anvil]

dude why new trolls always try to troll cloud

[azure wasp]

Noo i need pic perms i had a funny meme to this

[west venture]

🧢

[molten bobcat]

And second of all I took my exam in fuckin 2022

This was 4 years ago bro

[devout sail]

Uhhh tldr

[molten bobcat]

Get an actual fucking hobby

[devout sail]

Tf going on here

[azure wasp]

Troller

Or troll

idk which is correct

[supple plume]

I didn't like it at first until I learned how to use it properly, and that is not at all how people usually show out there

[west venture]

No way you literally never used AI once

[molten bobcat]

Sure, i fucked around with it when coworkers mentioned it

And I've vibe coded some things

But like, on an exam????

Are you high?)?

Once again, academic integrity is something I believe in

And for my kind of work, AI is wrong as fuck all the time

[manic anvil]

i agree with this

[molten bobcat]

I've grown a lot of a person

[hazy spruce]

I once wrestled a clanker to the ground with my bare hands

[molten bobcat]

And my infosec knowledge had grown with me

But I want everyone to be fucking entirely certain

i am able to be wrong lmao

[azure wasp]

Im learning infosec now

It says infosec in the module

[molten bobcat]

Morons love to claim that I'm a pompous know it all

[spark mulch]

[molten bobcat]

Welcome to the club

[exotic pendant]

I'm dieing

[manic anvil]

jokes aside a person that dont use AI is better than a person that do (exclude the ones that can do something but use AI for it because they dont wanna do it like reading a code or a script)

[cerulean bloom]

I don't know if you are sarcastic or seriously dying

I'm really bad at this lol

[exotic pendant]

So... I got an email saying my report was approved and moved to CRITICAL from high right and then... I saw it got moved to dupe

[cerulean bloom]

OH WOW

[zealous lagoon]

Which " PROTOCOL
UDP 1337
TCP 443"

[rancid snow]

their username is 'UnsanctionedChimpEvent' interpret that how you will

[cerulean bloom]

?

[azure wasp]

OpenVPN

[cerulean bloom]

ohhhhh
udp

[rancid snow]

choose your favorite

[azure wasp]

I dont know the difference

i picked udp

[rancid snow]

pick one at random then

[obtuse fern]

udp is generally faster, tcp is more connection oriented; that's just the barebones difference between them (aside from packet configurations)
