Last evening I was testing out my MCP server running random scans. As I spoke my prompt into the speaker, I didn't enunciate the words properly and it scanned a Russian mail server. As it turned out the server was used as a backbone for the Russian gov't and military. Being one of my study topics, I immediately decided that this happy coincidence deserved a deeper dive. I ran a spiderfoot OSINT scan, inputted into the LLM of my choice and here is my prelim report :

A friend of mine here showed me his laptop and was using the academy and I’ve always been a tech nerd

[cedar raft]

from where u are ?

[royal prism]

It’s -32 in Canadian temps

Static, with wind chill colder. Probably around -45

[green kite]

That’s Celsius, right?

[royal prism]

I think so lmao

I’m a directional diamond drilling field technician. I’m a human compass in the dirt.

You?

[green kite]

Cool 😎

[royal prism]

90 = Right
180 = Down
270 = Left
360 = 0 = up

[late sleet]

the australian mind can't comprehend this

[green kite]

I was thinking -10 is too cold

[cedar raft]

not that uch due to ruined education system ( evverything depends on phy , chm and maths ) i don't like that stuffs

[royal prism]

I’m suffering and I hate my job. That’s why I’m trying to learn cybersecurity because I’d rather work on computers then with mining equipment

Now I can’t complain anymore haha

-45 is like siberia cold, it's insanity

Imagine having a runny nose. Instant ice

I have a 12-15 meter correction, in those 12-15 meters I need to steer a 14 foot coring barrel up and to the right to achieve movement of 4.3 degrees.

Oh and I can only move 0.8 degrees per 3 meters to prevent snapping everything

The math isn’t mathing 🙂

If it's that cold, aren't cars typically covered in tarp?

[royal prism]

No, you just leave them running. Or have a battery cover on them. Thankfully most places you park are protected from the wind

That or you use diesel equipment and cycle glow plugs to start

[late sleet]

that's quite interesting

[cedar raft]

thought of the day

[late sleet]

are there any cars that can't survive that type of cold?

like american shitboxes?

[cedar raft]

as far as i know sadan type cars which have small wheels

you can't drive them there

[terse dirge]

kubernetes

[royal prism]

I…. I feel lack of retinal awareness

[silver forge]

when you absolutely want to become Google

[terse dirge]

the cluster probably ins't even close to enterprise grade because it doesn't have any other dev ops tools than gitea

[royal prism]

Can you FWD me your blog link so I can have it for later?

Don’t wanna lose it. On mobile right now

[terse dirge]

uhhhh I probably won't be posting it on my blog anytime soon, I'm unemployed but not THAT unemployed to make a post on the entire docs and architecture of the cluster

[royal prism]

I just want info to learn from honestly 😭

I’ve got 9 more night shifts and need to learn a better skill then this job so any info helps

[terse dirge]

one does not simply learn kubernetes

[silver forge]

@past elbow did you make any progress on your cluster today?

[devout sail]

I just found my old assignments with code written on paper

[silver forge]

good, good

[devout sail]

And I don't remember doing that shit

I used to be smart or something 💀💀

[cerulean bloom]

you still smart

[silver forge]

it's ok, I don't understand some of my code either

I implemented some go reflection stuff... reading it today, I have no slightest idea what's going on

apparently it is able to extend any pre-existing struct with ACL system that handles inheritance for the ACLs, too, based on LDAP groups. the code is just so complex to understand it's probably impossible to maintain.

like on a web framework you have a rest api, which queries database using gorm. but the data coming out has per-object level ACL checking and filtering.

[devout sail]

Someone's probably wiping our memory

[silver forge]

nah it's just if it takes a full day of laser like focus to write a code, understanding it requires nearly the same later

[devout sail]

I was looking at those verilog code
And kinda surprised my old me could write that

I went to my old school after 12y today

[silver forge]

also, 1) the golang reflection API is sheit, and 2) the inheritance part of ACL system was probably unnecessary complexity

[devout sail]

No one I know was there

They all probably retired or went up

[silver forge]

today I'd implement the same using generics, and it would be much simpler implementation

[devout sail]

I'll use you complex old code to train my clanker

And PR similar stuff in your new clean code

[silver forge]

the funny thing is, I once recruited a guy for his first real job. now he has applied to be our supreme leader how time flies

not envious, I would never want that position

the actual job title is supreme leader

[dense turtle]

supp guys, good morning

[modest elm]

quick question, im working on my homelab and im following some guidance. I'm at a step where I'm building up a linux vm for automation/logging/monitoring. Just to make sure, in other words, i'm basically building a SIEM on my lab?

[modest elm]

i have a linux vm with ubuntu and im being recommended to build > Wazuh + grafana + prometheus + node exporter + ansible, is this solid practice for a homelab and to showcase

[azure wasp]

Good morning

[sonic blaze]

Has anyone ever been a black hacker here ?

[azure wasp]

I also wonder that

[icy viper]

Under the impression they wouldn't be allowed to talk about that

[dense turtle]

💀

[wooden jacinth]

gad marrringggg

[warped plank]

While they'll probably not admit it here there's tons of stories from this youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@JackRhysider

[crimson crypt]

Has anyone here done the Mini Pro Lab sidecar?

[young glen]

I haven’t done it

[azure wasp]

I did a nmap scan on my laptop in Kali Linux vm and the blue thing in the corner with lines is skyrocketing and I closed the terminal and it’s still all up does anyone know how to make this not happen

[crimson crypt]

I have a strange problem with this machine and I need to exchange ideas with someone who has at least obtained the first flag.

[young glen]

Ah ok good luck with the machine

[dense turtle]

vrrrrrro wtf , i was about to pick p4ck3t as user name

[azure wasp]

I read the will now I will soon read the goal

Then i have 10 sections left

[bronze lion]

Blue thing?

No one is going to help u if u are being this vague

[azure wasp]

The thing in the corner in Kali Linux that goes up and down the lines

In the box

[bronze lion]

Ah system resource monitor

[azure wasp]

Yes

[bronze lion]

I think the blue is actually showing the disk usage

[azure wasp]

Uhh well why does it skyrocket when I did a simple command like nmap

[bronze lion]

Idk ask urself if ur lap is capable of running a a heavy OS like kali in vm smoothly

Does ur hardware allow it etc.

Did u assign too much of the resources to the vm or maybe too less?

Ask it to yourself and figure it out

That's how u learn

[azure wasp]

Yes but I don’t know what’s good or what idk

[warped plank]

Kali is lighter than Windows though...

[bronze lion]

What's the specs

[bronze lion]

Ye but I compared kali with other linux dixtros

[azure wasp]

Where do I see specs

[bronze lion]

What OS do u use?

[warped plank]

You assuming he runs Linux?

[azure wasp]

Windows 11

[azure wasp]

I have Kali Linux in vm

[bronze lion]

Ok hes using win 11 but still if windows runs smoothly on his device doesn't mean kali have to run smoothly on 'vm' tho

[warped plank]

What hypervisor do you use?

[azure wasp]

What’s that

[warped plank]

https://tenor.com/view/sealyx-naked-gun-the-naked-gun-facepalm-facepalm-meme-gif-11743768702765397589

[bronze lion]

Go to desktop, right click on 'my pc' and then click properties

[bronze lion]

Google it mate

[warped plank]

What app do you use to run your Kali VM

[bronze lion]

Oracle VM I would assume

[azure wasp]

Virtualbox

I like virtualbox

[bronze lion]

Wild btw what's ur take os WSL?

[azure wasp]

I don’t like it

[warped plank]

Is a means to an end for docker

otherwise is shite

[bronze lion]

Check out hypervisor

[warped plank]

but it makes docker on Windows run much smoother afaik

[warped plank]

now google: How do I see VM specs in virtualbox

We ain't google, why you asking us?

[bronze lion]

I personally think oracle VM is resource heavy when compared to hyper isor

[warped plank]

Pretty sure VMware is heavier still, it's just more efficient

[azure wasp]

"select the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and view the Details pane on the right" there’s no details pane

Nvm I’m blind

I looked at the wrong place

[bronze lion]

Ye it's just that I don't have much right to compare anything with hypervisor cause I haven't used a virtual machine for a long time . I do every 'day to day' things in my main linux OS

[azure wasp]

It has details but i don’t see specs

[vivid forge]

does letsdefends has its own discord ? why they don't allow me to download log files for offline analysis. everything has to be done through vnc, which adds delay few seconds. gotta cancel the trial subscription since sherlock is better in many ways 😅

[warped plank]

Bro's profile is Mr.Robot yet he doesn't Read the F*ing Manual...doesn't Elliot like read the entire manual for a Temperature Control System?

[bronze lion]

Specs of what are u searching for mate?

[azure wasp]

What manual

[bronze lion]

Lol

[bronze lion]

⁨@azure wasp⁩

[azure wasp]

I don’t know u said to tell specs

[warped plank]

https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/

[bronze lion]

I asked Abt the specs of ur laptop

I clearly even said the steps to check it

[warped plank]

Why you asking about specs of laptop if his issues were in the VM? If he can run Windows 11 he can definitely run Kali Linux

[sonic blaze]

Do you think they use hackthebox?

[bronze lion]

But he is running a virtual machine on top of the already resource greedy windows

[azure wasp]

I didn’t find my pc when I clicked on desktop

[bronze lion]

Damn wild

[warped plank]

Probably not

[bronze lion]

Wht am I to do

[azure wasp]

I found system > about

[bronze lion]

Open ur file explorer

[azure wasp]

Ok

[bronze lion]

Then look at the left then

[azure wasp]

This pc

[warped plank]

Fair enough

[bronze lion]

Note: it's been 2 yrs since I used windows

[warped plank]

You know you probably just could've told him to google it

[bronze lion]

I actually did

[west lynx]

https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=how do I find my laptop specs Windows 11

[bronze lion]

Oh

[sonic blaze]

How come ?

[bronze lion]

Well

.

[azure wasp]

Am I supossed to find windows specs or virtualbox

[warped plank]

https://tenor.com/view/the-road-to-el-dorado-both-both-is-good-gif-8304204

[bronze lion]

I honestly thought that he would have understood how to, from the first msg i send

[azure wasp]

Is specs ram and processor and stuff

[bronze lion]

Ye just tell me

[azure wasp]

I found that from the start but i was looking for name specs

[bronze lion]

😃

[warped plank]

Well at that level anything HTB would have wouldn't bee too interesting. Those people prefer to make their own scenarios and do their own research locating 0 days and new and novel ways to exploit computers. They might play on the platform for fun but probably not to learn anything new.

[azure wasp]

Pc storage 477gb, graphics card 486mb, installed ram 16.0gb, processor amd ryzen 5 7520U with Radeon graphics.

[sonic blaze]

Do you think they use try hack me

[bronze lion]

Ye might at the same time we might be overestimating some

[warped plank]

Even more no...

[turbid goblet]

how do i google

[warped plank]

THM is considered much easier than HTB and if they think HTB is easy they'd think THM is for babies

[west lynx]

https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=how do I google

[azure wasp]

Vm base memory 7541mb, display 128mb,

[turbid goblet]

pog

[warped plank]

looks fine to me how many CPU threads you got on yar VM?

[azure wasp]

3 cpu

[bronze lion]

Ye 3 or 4 should work if u have 8

[azure wasp]

It’s at green I can have one more and it goes to the line of red

[bronze lion]

And 6 or 7 gb ram should be perfect if u have 16 gb ram

I'm confused

[azure wasp]

[devout sail]

Idk i always use rounded values
4 cores, 4 or 8 gb ram

[warped plank]

Yeah all those specs seem fine, also the blue lines are the history while the teal lines are current usage... max usage of 3 CPUs doesn't really matter in a VM, if you're experiencing slowdowns then you should probably up the CPU count and RAM

[azure wasp]

Ok thanks yall

[warped plank]

[devout sail]

What Insane?

[warped plank]

You make insane, yes?

[devout sail]

Oh nop
At this point insane will literally take an year lmao

[turbid goblet]

not to be political but its basically a disease but not treated like one

[sharp shuttle]

i always wanted to go out there with a bunch of edm gear and stage a fake edm show where the fent zombies are all hobbling around while dubstep and strobe lights are going

[turbid goblet]

lmaooo

[sharp shuttle]

is that fucked up to say?

yeah

do i care, not as much as i should

i feel like those people have no willpower and therefore will never change

you can only blame the drug so much

[turbid goblet]

maybe, idk

i heard that it really does consume u

physically and mentally

but i mean its easy to just never try in the first place

[sharp shuttle]

any addiction does that

[turbid goblet]

mental addiction seems to be more tolerable to willpower out than physical tho

[sharp shuttle]

how is mental addiction different?

at the end of the day its still physical

its a chemical manipulation

[turbid goblet]
