[hoary dawn]

ai is nice tech in my eyes but i hate how everything is pushing it so forcefully

i love it myself but its actually insane how much companies are forcing its usage

[rapid badger]

They have to push this shit everywhere to justify their expenses.

[hoary dawn]

The more it’s publicly pushed the more it’s costing them tho

If they taught ppl how to run it themselves then everyone who needs ai can power it themselves

But they need to cater to the idiots they raised

Besides they offer pro and plus labels when they buy their monthly tokens so that the user could feel more like a developer/engineer while busting out them prompts

[vague kraken]

If we taught people to generate their own power all power-grid problems would be absolved as well as waste being limited.

BUT THEN HOW COULD WE MAKE MONEY OFF THE POOR SAPS??

[hoary dawn]

Yea this goes for a lot of stuff, if the average joe knew how it worked it could save our mother nature a lot of stress

[vague kraken]

Oh well. It's as I never say: "All's terrible that ends terrible."

[hoary dawn]

So many companies would go under if ppl started growing their own food and harvesting their own energy 😂

[rapid badger]

Good news, you can only buy seeds from monsanto and have your machines fixed by official techs or they can shut you down 🙂

[hoary dawn]

Yea, exactly, the world has been irreversibly damaged honestly in my opinion, only hope it has is the media keeping up the momentum is has right now I mean this has gotta be the largest percentage of wokeness there’s been in a while

Always a loophole man! Gotta play them with their own methods, they made the game!

I don’t wanna get into politics but there’s a reason why the files are as sensitive as it is, them elites did half of that shi legally as illegal as it looks through the evidence.

[scenic vault]

is AI killing everything now development and hacking and he keeping doing it like this ??

[rancid snow]

yup. give up and quit

😉

[uncut jetty]

I agree. Not a big fan of Academy 2.0. The UI requires way too much clicking to get to where you want to go. You first land on your "Dashboard"/"Enrolled Path", why can I not immediately click on any module within the current job role path I'm on? Why do I need to click on "See Full Path" when the module list could be right there for me to visit or re-visit quickly and then when you click on "See Full Path" and you see your list of modules for that job role path, you click on for example "XSS" and now I have to click on another button "Revisit Module", why would you not just immediately go to the XSS module instead of making the user click on another button. It's way too heavily nested with unnecessary button clicking IMO.
I do like the text change though I'll say that.

[warped plank]

You can always swap back to legacy

[uncut jetty]

Yeah but isn't the change to 2.0 being forced soon?

[scenic vault]

did you?

[warped plank]

It's just the default, you can swap back any time

[uncut jetty]

I see. Well that's good if we can switch back. I like the text of 2.0 but too many buttons to get around imo. If they changed that I'd be a fan.

Im going out to meet a friend

I'll study when I get back

[scenic vault]

what's the point with this quantum thing with cybersec?

Wdym "quantum thing"? There's lots of stuff going on in quantum computing

[muted olive]

quantum teleporting to your location rn

[rustic carbon]

i ack that but is there any changes that will be possibly there in mainstream cybersec

[pure moth]

At least it should change encryption algorythms, because quantum computers are litterally counterpick against almost any modern encryption. If you had quantum pc, pure bruteforce would've taken hours not billions of years

[muted olive]

Deprecation of RSA, for one thing, although that wont happen overnight

[rustic carbon]

exactly

[warped plank]

Mostly password cracking tech that'll be obsolete by the time quantum computers gain enough qubits to so it. Quantum resistant algorithms are already being developed and rolled out

[supple plume]

[zealous charm]

Oracle just basically means you can get some observable response discrepancy, so you can have a UUID/GUID oracle for IDORs, a timing oracle for time based SQLi, etc

[azure wasp]

Oracle own TikTok

[heady sage]

Can this be used to extract responses?

That are otherwise unviewable?

just out of curiousity, I want to learn how to use kali but saw that HTB has their own VM. Should I use my own VM (and install tools as i progress) or do I just use the HTB VM (I'm new to cyber, sorry if its a dumb question)

[sharp shuttle]

just use kali

use parrot in academy when it makes sense, like for sql labs

[green hornet]

okay, thank you

[rustic carbon]

i need some guidance regarding cybersec certs and balancing uni with hackthebox n certs

[sharp shuttle]

drop out of uni and fullbore the htb academy

there ya go, your choice whether or not to take the advice

[rustic carbon]

that's not really an option for me bruh ik uni is useless

[sharp shuttle]

i dont care

[rustic carbon]

im actually a bit serious ... if u guys can give some doable advice it will be great

[sharp shuttle]

i am too, and the fact you think im not means you arent serious

[balmy basalt]

Ask your actual question.

[sharp shuttle]

if any of the following does not apply to you, uni is the worst decision you could make

1. you are a hot woman
2. you are a rich man
3. you are both

[hybrid mesa]

Hello everyone !
forgive me if this isnt the appropriate channel for this question. I recently acquired a CompTIA voucher and i plan on taking Security+ cert soon. Im sitll in my uni and i plan on pursing a career in cybersec. I want to know what would be a resonable roadmap to follow to achieve the following (not in any particular order)

1. Pass the certification (right now im planning on just using professor messer's yt)
2. Git gud at CTFs
3. Reach a level where im able to take part in bug bounty programs and potentially find zero days rather than LLM-ing my way through

[slate whale]

Hi

[rustic carbon]

I am currently doing OS fundamentals in htb. Which cert should I parallely be doing - CCNA, Comptia, which one?

[sharp shuttle]

overwhelming chat..

[hybrid mesa]

Im looking more towards resources that i can follow.

[sharp shuttle]

your comptia cert and uni degree will not guarantee you any career, at this moment in your life, you are faced with a demoralizing future if you are not extremely specialized in this industry

thats all there is to say

[hybrid mesa]

thats a rather pesismistic way to look at things. while i agree that the market is tough out there that is not a good enough reason (at least for me) to stop trying
also that dosent ans my q :)

[balmy basalt]

Disagree with the second half but the first point yes for Brath's statement.

You didn't ask one. :P

[sharp shuttle]

i just got done presenting at bsides seattle and talked to over 200 people who asked the same questions you did, i am not talking out of my ass. it was horrific

i feel bad for you

i mean that

its not fair

[rustic carbon]

Yes. I do agree with that. So I need to grind HTB, for sure. But will going without certs convince HRs??

[molten bobcat]

Gooood mornin

[hybrid mesa]

in what sense

[sharp shuttle]

HR doesnt even look at the resume man

[hybrid mesa]

like i dont see ur point

[sharp shuttle]

Ai has taken your future

[molten bobcat]

Oh hush

[sharp shuttle]

i know. and im sorry

[hybrid mesa]

disagree

[balmy basalt]

Really though, your best tool is networking.

[molten bobcat]

It's more important than ever to recognize your own worth

A lot of companies will have very garbage offers and its unfortunately your responsibility to choose a good employer for yourself

[hybrid mesa]

1. if u just sit and do nothing thinking ai has taken ur future then ur setting up urself for failure anyway, might as wellgive it ur all n fail than just giving up before even seeing what u achieve
2. the very companies that preach about ai taking jobs are hiring for 350k

that says a lot abt "Ai replacing humans"

[sharp shuttle]

jesus man

[molten bobcat]

The only reason it's replacing people is because every moron manager is shoving it into everything and making it mandatory to look cool lol

[hybrid mesa]

i get it, the job market is tough, hell im striggling to get internships here i get it. but thats not a good enough reason to not even try

[sharp shuttle]

alright, live in the delusion. i gave you solid advice

[hybrid mesa]

thanks ig?

[sharp shuttle]

no problem, its free

[molten bobcat]

Brath is an acquired taste

Welcome to cybersecurity

[hybrid mesa]

id still appreciate if you answers my q even if its just another guy living in dellusion :)

[molten bobcat]

Some people are your friends while being dicks to you?

[manic anvil]

hack him

[balmy basalt]

What was the question? I don't see any question marks.

[molten bobcat]

Brath cares about people he just has a different approach

[hybrid mesa]

.

[molten bobcat]

Sec+ is asked for a lot

Even if it's not the best content ever

[rustic carbon]

Yeah yeah stop demotivating me - I am not quitting. im first thinking of going for an internship and climbing up from there...but the point is - which cert to go for - i ask for your kind advice if you aren't script kiddie and know hacking, networking, os, assembly level malware analysis, debugging with gdb, ghidra, actual wifi hacking using wifiphisher, not a youtube playlist follower, knows backend - session hijacking, burpsuite, actually done some shit...then tell me serious advice. else don't bitch about 'ai taking job'.
i just need some honest advice regarding cert
roadmap.sh seems like all shit at one place
give me real working advice.

[molten bobcat]

I suffered through it once before it's fine lol

[hybrid mesa]

im actually followeing the roadmap given my networkchuck

i dont rlly wanna spend money for the a+

[molten bobcat]

I don't really believe in roadmaps

[hybrid mesa]

hence jus jumping to sec

[molten bobcat]

But yeah I think at this point A+ isn't gonna serve you well

[manic anvil]

what does sec+ talk about even , security in corps in general , like things to do and guidelines to follow?

[hybrid mesa]

fair, it just gives a good path to follow even if u dont stick to it

[molten bobcat]

A+ is for folks who wanna learn to fix computers

[molten bobcat]

Yes

[hybrid mesa]

there r certain iso requirements

[molten bobcat]

It gives an overall view of how security works

[hybrid mesa]

that certs help u pass

and hr filters asw.

[molten bobcat]

It's.. real generic just to let y'all know lol

[manic anvil]

oh no i know you need the cert but i didnt take it yet really i will leave it till i finish any of HTB certs

[balmy basalt]

More a statement but sure. Brath is right, that neither Sec+ nor a degree are silver bullets. No where close but if you are already started I would finish it out. Sec+ isn't going to hurt and if you already have a voucher sure, go for it.

[molten bobcat]

Oh yeah if you have a voucher give it a whirl

[hybrid mesa]

i actually do have a devent experience not in terms of cybersec but in terms of linux and stuff that ill be using in the field

[molten bobcat]

That's good 🙂

[hybrid mesa]

im not saying that the cert alone /degree will help me standout

been using linux since high school, pretty comfy w terminal, setup my own homelab w proxmox n spun up a mc server etc

[molten bobcat]

I'm of the school of thought that as long as you apply yourself genuinely it'll work out eventually

Humans are very, very capable

[hybrid mesa]

since im thinking more seriously abt picking one field

[sharp shuttle]

The only thing that matters in the post-human world is knowing the right humans

[devout sail]

🧢

[sharp shuttle]

network your ass off or suffer man

[molten bobcat]

Knowing the right humans is genuinely how society has operated since time immemorial

Haha

[sharp shuttle]

for the past 50 years you could stand out by playing the game

but you are right

[hybrid mesa]

guys all that is fine and nice but yall still didnt give me resources to refer 😭

[molten bobcat]

For sec+?

[hybrid mesa]

we all have diff views

[molten bobcat]

Mike Myers!

[balmy basalt]

Brath isn't a script kiddie for the record and though I may disagree with tone and long term outlook, they are correct that the market very much sucks currently.

To answer your cert question, HTB certs don't have as much recognition but are great for learning. What I would generally do is look at job listings for jobs you want and see what they are asking for. If a HTB cert is on there that you want anyway, fantastic. If not does it help you learn the skills you otherwise need and show that you know them? That could also be worth doing.

Unless academy 2.0 moved it

[young widget]

I don't see it 🤣 Could it be that academy 2.0 doesn't have it?

[molten bobcat]

Nah

You still need a vpn

It's somewhere I haven't screwed with academy 2.0 yet

[heady sage]

Cloud I just want you to know I don’t bare any hatred for you, I know we don’t always get along but I genuinely hope that your CDSA results come back good

[molten bobcat]

But thanks!

[sharp shuttle]

[molten bobcat]

I'm sure it'll be fine

I'm visiting friends today to help fix his computer and hang out

[young widget]

Had to swtich to legacy, to download it. Just FYI in case you try academy 2.0 at some point

[molten bobcat]

I'm sure the button exists somewhere

[manic anvil]

i have question guys about server logs can you make the logs so they change a value of something like lets say if i want the logs to always write 127.0.0.1 as 192.168.1.1

[severe rock]

Mennyire vannak itt magyarok?🙄

[molten bobcat]

Hm. I believe so yeah

Logs are typically just text documents so if you're talking about altering the log after it's generated or afterwards for analysis

You can use a scheduled script

In terms of configuration.. I'm sure logging solutions have answers for this?

[manic anvil]

does cloud service providers or any servers service store their own logs of your server or they are stored only on your sever?

[molten bobcat]

Oh yeah you're not getting log storage without paying for it one way or another

They take up space

[azure remnant]

Anybody buy iranian metal

[molten bobcat]

You either have to provide the storage or pay out the ass for it

Most businesses choose to simply not log

[balmy basalt]

Both tend to be options. Typically theirs but you can send stuff to your own if you wish usually.

[manic anvil]

El Nasir copper?

[marsh shuttle]

@austere sigil omg i got the date wrong on the writeup

[manic anvil]

hmmm alright

[molten bobcat]

The best solution

Is to ingest log

With log ingestor

Then ditch the copy of the log

Because the log ingestor has recorded it, it doesn't have to take up space on the server

🪵

[manic anvil]

oh no i asked because in case of a cyber crime for someone using a server service to route things thro it and in the logs it change their Ip if its possible

[molten bobcat]

Log alteration is rare as fuck

It's usually done in the form of "delete the logs"

[manic anvil]

i mean wouldnt faking it just make it longer for the feds to get to you because you making them look in the wrong direction

[molten bobcat]

No

Because any analyst worth a damn has methods of detecting if files have had their integrity fucked with

[rustic carbon]

thanks very much for the advice. As a college student at this point under peak stress and who doesn't want to quit, I have tussled with so many other areas in IT and tech that my mind is fried. I am sticking to cybersec. I have been through that phase where I didn't exactly knew what to do really - which path to pick - ML, AI, Web dev, ...so...its been pretty tough and when I hear people saying - do this, do that, do everything at once, it feels a bit overwhelming without a structured map of things ..
like if you see, even in HTB, I think you can choose any path you want to - whereever your interest lies. Everything seems interesting to me in cybersec. But I feel your advice is fine when it comes to specificity. Thanks for that.

[molten bobcat]

Timestomping, file deletion, log alteration..

These are things that can be tracked and caught themselves

i do remember in one of the labs using something like this to get password change after it got deleted

[molten bobcat]

When a file is deleted

It isn't gone immediately

😉

[manic anvil]

oh yeah it only mean its space is free to be overwritten or something

[molten bobcat]

Bingo.

is CCNA worth it? Or should I not waste my time after going through networking course included in my IT curriculum ... ????
so do I go for sec+?

[obtuse fern]

not unless you zero all your free space out every time you delete something

[molten bobcat]

CCNA is a Cisco specific networking cert

Throwing it out there

[sharp shuttle]

with 100% sincerity, i think your professors are fucking your future up

[rustic carbon]

you are naming nonpractical certs

[sharp shuttle]

those are meaningless to people in the know

[molten bobcat]

The CCNA is asked for

[sharp shuttle]

dont impress people inundated

[manic anvil]

the thing is people take ccna because companies ask for any IT experience before giving you cybersecurity job

[sharp shuttle]

Your college gets kick backs for promoting pearson, microsoft, oracle, cisco, etc certs and knowledge

[manic anvil]

does tails linux do that?

[sharp shuttle]

a google search would show you why thats a bad roi

[sharp shuttle]

without making it personal user49

[rustic carbon]

ohk so IT deg will be ruling that 'necessity' right!
no need to go for ccna for 3months 😅

[sharp shuttle]

did your professors ever work in the industry, ever?

[obtuse fern]

tails is a gimmick OS

It's built for people that either really know what they're doing, or people that think they know what privacy is

[manic anvil]

yeah anything that get you an IT job because as i see entry level pentesting jobs are asking for 5+ years of experience

[rustic carbon]

i hope internships count as experience

[manic anvil]

[sharp shuttle]

tails is a usbos for sending one irc message that domain fronted c2's listen on and then you set it on fire

hth

[sharp shuttle]

im sorry to inform you that internships are for nepobabies

[manic anvil]

put the ram in the microwave method ?

[sharp shuttle]

i mean sure, it works

better to just obliterate it

[manic anvil]

i wonder if bug bounty count as years of experience

[rustic carbon]

Then what do we mean by experience here

backend job?

[sharp shuttle]

in the weeds

[devout sail]

U can flex CVEs in resume but i don't think they'll consider it as experience

[sharp shuttle]

and you would know if your professors were in the weeds

they would be saying different things to you

[rustic carbon]

brath ik profs suck but please i don't think i hv an option 😭

[manic anvil]

[sharp shuttle]

can you just explain to me why its not an option?

[rustic carbon]

i will talk to my parents abt it

for now it is not, with due respect

[sharp shuttle]

yeah, your parents who grew up in a wildly impossibly different timeline

no matter what you do

your parents will not understand

"whys it not working sunny boy?? it worked for me!"

prepare yourself, because dissapointment is inevitable, but its not permanent

it takes time for parents to see CNN finally say what youve been saying

they grew up on "news" telling them whats true

[manic anvil]

"breaking news there is alot of jobs available out there people just dont want to work"

[heady sage]

Wait what?

[sharp shuttle]

we all get it, they dont

its frustrating

[supple plume]

told ya nobody hates you

[rustic carbon]

ok hold up - what counts as experience?

[azure wasp]

"youtube co-founder says 2026 is the last year of meaningful work" what do yall think about that🤔

[sharp shuttle]

ill make it easy for you

just ask your professor probing questions about their career

and tbh, scrutinize them

[devout sail]

I don't mind getting paid for meaningless work

[sharp shuttle]

if you dont, you are just getting scammed

[azure wasp]

[azure wasp]

True🤔

[exotic pendant]

[hybrid mesa]

yup. LLMs inherently suck at writing low level code. There are jobs it just requires u to be hyperspecialized in one thing.

[exotic pendant]

Then explain how I was able to write hello world on rust

[rustic carbon]

exactly

[supple plume]

@heady sage exactly here

[heady sage]

SAML challenge is 10% done

[supple plume]

and here

[manic anvil]

the thing with experience they ask you about how many years so lets say you are experienced at pentesting or at least in theory you are but how to prove it to them ? they wont give you a CTF to solve they would see where you wroked before and how did you perform there

[sharp shuttle]

i disagree, chatbots are writing decent shellcode now, in 3 months it will be professional, in 6 it will be APT level

do you not get that?

[hybrid mesa]

im pretty sure LLMs are trained on documentation (as a bare minimum) . hello world shd be like in the first or 2nd page so-

[exotic pendant]

Frosto was kidding

[rustic carbon]

I talked to some guy who is actually there in the industry - he said that internships counts as experience in cybersec

[heady sage]

Learning about SAML assertions was…fun at least

[exotic pendant]

I say in the next 5 years it’ll be better than me at reading code

[sharp shuttle]

let me pose to you a scenario where you lied and said you worked internships to a prospective employer

you tell me what % chance you think they will follow-up and verify that?

[heady sage]

By the time I graduate, I won’t even BE an appsec engineer

Because that job will cease to exist

[exotic pendant]

Pentesting would remain but researching would die down

[rustic carbon]

the guy is actually a malware analysis expert
he hires people
ofcourse they would ask deep questions related to work experience

[hybrid mesa]

why so?

[supple plume]

I believe AI is reaching the limits where it requires way lot investment to make progress on improvement, it's more like a hope but

[sharp shuttle]

by the way user49, i could send you a 1099 form right now, for 0 dollars an hour, and you would be techinically interning for me

[manic anvil]

usually internship only matter for the comapny that gave it to you try to take it to another company tho

[heady sage]

Fuck this shit man, why can’t I just do web secres in peace without filthy clankers getting in the way

[sharp shuttle]

you would be surprised

[hybrid mesa]

exactly :) i read about it apparently some limit

[exotic pendant]

Best time to get your cves is now

I got 2 new Microsoft bugs last night

[heady sage]

I know! But I can’t find anything

[turbid goblet]

do you guys take notes on EVERY exploit?

[sharp shuttle]

only if its relevant for my niche

[supple plume]

still a very volatile situation this near future

[hybrid mesa]

after a certain point the amout of resources u gotta invest to see imporvement becomes insane

[turbid goblet]

like even if the exact notes and scripts do exactly whats needed

[exotic pendant]

No I don’t do notes unless it’s a report

[hybrid mesa]

fair

[exotic pendant]

I suck at notes and even if I did do them, I forget about them

[heady sage]

Everything is so hardened on grep.app and it scares me

[manic anvil]

frost use notes as fire starter for pizza oven

[exotic pendant]

Frosto laundry machine broke 2 weeks ago and I finally gave in and went to a laundromat

[austere sigil]

oops

[exotic pendant]

I am supposed to be taking a break from bug hunting

To play wow

But I’ve been reading code all weekend

[manic anvil]

play league of legends its more relaxing

[exotic pendant]

New wow xpac is good tho

midnight

[devout sail]

Bug hunt wow

[rustic carbon]

ok so I got this idea previously to gain 'experience'
get into some backend based role
(because ig freshers can get that... )
then work to internally switch to sec role or get the 'experience' ...
does this guarentee the experience

[sharp shuttle]

you can make your own experience too

[rustic carbon]

what

[manic anvil]

freelance ?

[sharp shuttle]

what did i say that doesnt make sense?

[rustic carbon]

'make your own experience'

[manic anvil]

agree frost bug hun on wow

[sharp shuttle]

setup a homelab, submit a cfp and do a talk, do novel research - post it on a blog (for AI to steal), volunteer, shadow

[devout sail]

I user49 certified that user49 worked for me for 35y and he was good

[sharp shuttle]

user49 you gatta start thinking like a hacker

join your local hackerspace

go to meetups

like you gatta do something, the old way doesnt work

[devout sail]

Do u have any good places to read researches?

[rustic carbon]

i thought cybersec 'research' comes when you are old and done playing bug bounties

[sharp shuttle]

i dont do traditional pentesting anymore, im on the cutting edge of drone research, so no

[exotic pendant]

I found a caterpillar

[manic anvil]

i thought you are private investigator

[heady sage]

I got a rock

[exotic pendant]

Data pillar

[balmy basalt]

RSS feeds go brrrr. If you want a couple meta things for overall stuff, Last Week in Security and exploits.club are both pretty solid roughly weekly things.

[manic anvil]

throw it at the nearby AI server

[sharp shuttle]

the best place to learn "research" is to take something that nobodies done any research on and rip it apart

[devout sail]

https://tenor.com/view/long-bug-creepy-crawly-millipede-gross-pets-viralhog-gif-13848916

[exotic pendant]

I’ll start my blog next month

[sharp shuttle]

lol

[manic anvil]

if not a friend why friendshaped

[exotic pendant]

Apple and Microsoft bugs will be in it

[sharp shuttle]

oh you were serious

[exotic pendant]

0 click safari and hyper v/rdp escape

[sharp shuttle]

thats the meme though frost

[heady sage]

Welp time to read

[rancid snow]

theres this neat thing called a career where people may have obtained multiple jobs and employment over the course of their life and obtained various licenses and certifications even

[sharp shuttle]

ill start my blog tomorrow, next year

[exotic pendant]

I just want to show my 0 click safari bug lol

Pwn 2 own worthy

[balmy basalt]

RSS feed Frost? 👀

[manic anvil]

no no lol dont get me wrong i am not saying brathadair is lying i am wondering like if the study became a part of his job or he switched and such

[exotic pendant]

I’ll have to setup the blog first but maybe

[balmy basalt]

Some stuff has it built in so depending on what you pick, it may just be there. :D

[exotic pendant]

After I finish wow, I’ll find other big bugs

[sharp shuttle]

i just do whatever i feel like doing, its crazy how easy it is. most things you learn apply in many places

[exotic pendant]

I got a few areas to hit on iPhone

Frosto getting Pegasus 2.0

[manic anvil]

tbh i only got that from your comment when i was checking on the OSINT module

[sharp shuttle]

frosto getting pegged as sus

[exotic pendant]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-26024664

[sharp shuttle]

osint doesnt require a certification, if you are curious, all the tools are free

[exotic pendant]

Frosto is just ready for the weekend

Next weekend

[manic anvil]

frosto airplaine suddenly crushed and there no trace of it or frosto

[sharp shuttle]

i mostly got my PI license because my ex-wife pissed me off enough to go help other guys who got cheated on

[exotic pendant]

Oh I also found one super cool bug

I won’t say what it’s about until I report it

But is cool

[manic anvil]

oh i know but i am still wondering about the module 1000 cube probably have juicy info in it

[exotic pendant]

[sharp shuttle]

no, the corporate osint module is the worst one on this platform

by a mile

btw hackthebox, hire me to fix it

ill make it worth 1000 cubes

[manic anvil]

[exotic pendant]

What is the hardest cert HTB has atm?

Well “most advanced”

[sharp shuttle]

CAPE probably

[cerulean bloom]

CAPE

[exotic pendant]

I’ll do that eventually then

Company won’t pay atm because someone stole our funds

[sharp shuttle]

id be getting the wireless one but i am too fucking busy right now

[exotic pendant]

I was tempted to speed run college

[manic anvil]

they bought an Ai module with it?

[exotic pendant]

Can’t tell you

[sharp shuttle]

lol

[hoary dawn]

bro dont yell at me oh my gosh

lmao

[exotic pendant]

Ok I won’t

[hoary dawn]

it cant be

i joined and first message i read was about femboys

😭

[exotic pendant]

Femboy psyop

[hoary dawn]

or maybe that solidifies the case..

[exotic pendant]

It’s part of the plan

[manic anvil]

thats just an alias for a secret operation

[exotic pendant]

Oh yeah plex RCE also is pending

Forgot I found that

[hoary dawn]

whats the first bug bounty service yall ever used as a beginner

like when first starting out

[zealous charm]

As in platform? Bugcrowd

[manic anvil]

like program ?

[hoary dawn]

i have a lot to learn and just wanna note it down for when i step into that scene if i ever do

yea

[manic anvil]

Hackerone i guess

[devout sail]

75% of them are femb

[rancid snow]

i mean when first starting out there wasnt bug bounty platforms for me 😂

[hoary dawn]

ive visited a few and a lot of them just are kind of overwhelming i guess because i still have a lot to learn basically 💀

[devout sail]

They run the whole IT too

[exotic pendant]

[manic anvil]

and the coding socks

[hoary dawn]

yeaaaa those too haha

[quasi ridge]

when mine @eternal mango

[exotic pendant]

Maybe I’ll add a cape review in my blog

I’ve never done a cert review before

[devout sail]

Add the workflow of how u squash bugs

[exotic pendant]

My reviews would be autistic tho, I would tell too much truth

[hoary dawn]

oh id def watch that, a workflow for bug bounty isnt even something id think to search up

[devout sail]

I'll just stalk your X and see

[cerulean bloom]

thats good

[exotic pendant]

I’ve done a live of bugbounty last year

[manic anvil]

please dont spam "buy me a coffee" everywhere lol

[exotic pendant]

Found a bunch of NASA bugs on it

[exotic pendant]

lol I make enough to not have to ask

I would just do it for fun and rep

[manic anvil]

put buy me a pizza oven instead

[devout sail]

Tbh I like the autistic peoples
They have created soo many good stuff, the normal guy would give up 10 times
-# not implying ther are abnormal, i guess y'all get the point

[hoary dawn]

whats ur channel/blog?

[exotic pendant]

Yeah it helps me find bugs

I think outside the box and will spend 12 hours straight reading code

[devout sail]

Yep a blessing
(Not sure what curse part is)

[rustic carbon]

any idea how i can find a local hacking grp because i think there is none

[balmy basalt]

Defcon groups can be a start. Also https://www.hackerspaces.org/

Or more specifically, https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/List_of_Hacker_Spaces

[exotic pendant]

Sometimes you can Google your city and discord. I know there’s a local discord for it in my city

Or bsides

You can find your local bsides or closest

[rustic carbon]

i think online would work for me

so location doesn't matter then

[devout sail]

In my city, there's something called null con

Never went tho

[sharp shuttle]

you have a local one, they are difficult to find

its worth it

[sturdy thistle]

anybody wanna buy malware.channel from me?

[devout sail]

how much u paying?

[sturdy thistle]

40

[devout sail]

40 hats

[sturdy thistle]

32 euro

i just checked

[hoary dawn]

what is it a domain

[brisk abyss]

did that absolutely scumbag loser tyc finally get banned off discord?

haven't heard from him in a while and searched him and saw his insane racist rants in here and his profile can't be loaded anymore

[rustic carbon]

im unable to find one. i wish there was some dorking command to get to it

[devout sail]

What

Did I miss some drama

There's like 9 tyc to search for

[sturdy thistle]

yes a domain

[zealous charm]

do not the domain

[azure wasp]

Ofc drama when I’m not here

[sharp shuttle]

looks like hes not banned off discord, no

[supple plume]

why you dislike tyc

[azure wasp]

Is tyc someone

[supple plume]

I don't know him

[brisk abyss]

what is there to like about a passport bro that moved to Vietnam to get a "submissive asian wife" that also made the whackiest HTB rip-off website in the world, pretends to be another person to try and get away with this, is constantly going on homophobic, transphobic, and racist rants, and created a browser extension to block LGBTQ emojis from his snowflake eyes?

[idle birch]

bro what 😭

🥀

[storm coral]

who

[hoary dawn]

ah cool

[sharp shuttle]

what if i told you i moved to hawaii to get a "dominant asian wife" and made the raddest HTB collaborative thing in the world, pretended to be cringe to try to mask this, constantly uplifting my homosexual, trans, and accepting peers with schizoid veiled rants, and created a browser extension to extend emojis for my incandescent solar flare emitting eyeballs?

[storm coral]

love your skill issue bubble btw

[brisk abyss]

that would also be weird

just be a person lol

[brisk abyss]

fuck i forgot i was in the philosophy discord

[scenic maple]

Competitive racism?

[cerulean bloom]

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii golammmmmmmm

[scenic maple]

Donut master 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

[brisk abyss]

just, like, focus on your own life and not what other people are doing when it doesn't even affect you, i mean.

also believing skin color or language or sexuality or where someone was born makes anyone superior or inferior is objectively stupid as fuck

and you'd think people with the intelligence to learn this skill would understand that, but i guess like half of our community got radicalized by Epstein on 4chan or something

[steel crane]

it's objective to say that african people are physically superior, why would that be stupid?

[meager kernel]

Oh youre here too

[brisk abyss]

unfortunately lmao

[meager kernel]

Which one?

[azure wasp]

Yapyapyap

[brisk abyss]

this one. it's the pseudo-intellectual philosophy group

you were right holy shit

im not sure if htb is worth my time anymore

it's not

[sharp shuttle]

im calling safelite to install a windshield in my abdomen

you can ride shotgun in my ass

azo, you earned that right

[slate whale]

Is it normal to only be able to do easy boxes after 1 month ?

[signal mica]

[brisk abyss]

yes

[slate whale]

Ok !

Thanks

[brisk abyss]

depending on your previous skill level, that might be impressive

[sinful mesa]

https://tenor.com/view/drew-scanlon-blonde-guy-blinking-eyes-blinking-meme-surprised-gif-7852244

[signal mica]

Per example, if your previous skill level was forklift driver, it is not impressive

[sharp shuttle]

dont worry brother, we saved you a spot on the roof rack

[brisk abyss]

correct. it's common knowledge that forklift drivers can inherently hack

[azure wasp]

So I won’t have to read anymore if I become a forklift driver

[fallow crag]

how long did you guys learn before you starting doing bounties? I had a look at hacker1 for example and after learning for the past 5 months I have to say it was a little overwhelming.

[brisk abyss]

you have to actually give up the ability to read if you become a forklift driver

[cerulean bloom]

bug bounties are not easy

[sharp shuttle]

this is solid logic

[cerulean bloom]

so takes quite some time until you MIGHT be able to find some vulns

[azure wasp]

I learnt for some months before I tried bounties but I was never able to do one but I was bad at finding bounties

[brisk abyss]

find a 0day and sell it to North Korea

[meager kernel]

2 days

[fallow crag]

solid advice right there..

[supple plume]

I was unaware of all that I don't know that guy at all

[sharp shuttle]

North Korea is the current geo-politics chad, i dont really wanna mess with them

[fallow crag]

5 months into cybersec but 4 years into a cloud admin role.. so I was looking at things in my field but still

also in these 5 months I made it to top 4% THM xD (way easier than I expected)

doesn't translate into bunty hunts though..

[meager kernel]

Im gonna go sleep

Very very nice :)

[sharp shuttle]

next one will be 8 hours 😄

[undone fossil]

Ooo that’s sick

Tiring though

[sharp shuttle]

yeah 4 hours was too easy

it is

[fallow crag]

Wanted to visit Bsides Germany 2025 but got sick like 3 days before -_-. Very jelly right now.

[sharp shuttle]

esp talking to 200 people

[devout sail]

8 hr continuous talking?

[undone fossil]

Yeah so real

[sharp shuttle]

yep, i just did 5

[undone fossil]

I loved it when I did instructing but it was so insanely draining

[sharp shuttle]

it turns out im a yapper

[devout sail]

Damn i lose my voice completely in like 2 hr or less

[undone fossil]

By day 3 I couldn’t string a sentence properly lmao

[sharp shuttle]

yeah idk how people do the multi day ones

holy shit

you gatta pay me hella for that

[undone fossil]

Made about 1k/per so wasn’t too bad

solid experience for the future

[sharp shuttle]

yeah thats only fair

how long did you do it? 3 days at 8 hours?

[undone fossil]

Yeah roughly

[sharp shuttle]

fuck man

[fallow crag]

insert You people are getting payed? meme

[sharp shuttle]

mad respect

[undone fossil]

Slightly over with prep before and wind down after

But yeah ~24 total

[sharp shuttle]

putting it together took a week

just to yap for 5 hours

i can only imagine how much you covered

[undone fossil]

But now you get to reuse a lot which is nice

[sharp shuttle]

thank god

[undone fossil]

I find good setup pays dividends

Majorly

[sharp shuttle]

just proving the concept makes it easy in the future

i did novel drone red team dev

very fucked up discovery

[sharp shuttle]

oh my god

bro how

[undone fossil]

Making it interactive and feeling out what students already knew

[sharp shuttle]

this was a huge struggle for me, alot of the students were not up to par so i had to explain concepts very granuarily

[undone fossil]

E.g. I don’t need to show all 20 examples of impacket IOC removal, I can just show 2 and then make it a group effort to search the repo for more IOCs

Yeahhhh

[fallow crag]

was 5 hours just reading the Table of Contents? xD

[undone fossil]

The important thing to note is that I’m not there to read the guide to them

[heady sage]

This shit looks fun….too bad I don’t do red teaming anymore

[undone fossil]

Otherwise I may as well be a TTS

[young widget]

Has anybody here used a pinephone? Or any phone as a substitute of a laptop for pentesting? If so, how did it go?

[heady sage]

Would’ve been a hell of a ride

[undone fossil]

I always dedicated myself to showing them the concepts, explaining it with relatable euphemisms, and elaborating where they wanted more info

[fallow crag]

Used a pixel with GrapheneOS to mess around a little but def not a substitute of a laptop.

[undone fossil]

Like my job is to provide expand upon the guide, not to repeat what they can read

Approaching it that way makes things much more interesting

[young widget]

What did and didn't it allow you to do?

[sharp shuttle]

from the workshop i learned that teaching this stuff is basically the epitome of the work

i had more fun teaching than ever "operating"

[undone fossil]

E.g. rather than explaining verbatim just what an AWS lambda relay is, I’d focus on explaining why youd use one, which targets would be suitable etc

[undone fossil]

So real

[sharp shuttle]

im just really burned out over scopecreep and lack of proper scope

and rubberstamping

[undone fossil]

It’s tough, it’s sadly the nature of product development

[sharp shuttle]

how is the current role going?

[undone fossil]

More iterations more feedback more gooder

Going well :) loving it honestly

[sharp shuttle]

that makes me so happy to hear

[undone fossil]

Dev suits my workflow soo much better

[heady sage]

I’m burned out

So…

[undone fossil]

I can just sit there and talk tech all day, no need to call up a ciso who thinks I’m too young to understand what a SQL is

[sharp shuttle]

the workflow in question:

[heady sage]

I can’t appreciate the finer things in my field

[undone fossil]

Fuck

[sharp shuttle]

i think we drank 1000mg of caffeine the past 2 days

i was up for 36 hours before my workshop

mostly messing up with my router and wifi cracking. I like that Graphene has mac address randomization so I was able to play with that a little bit. I didn't dive too deep though because I like graphene and just kept it as my daily driver.

[undone fossil]

Hahahahaha

[gilded creek]

Am having a login issue

Am I the only one

[undone fossil]

I did similar before my first conference talk 😂

Glad I’m not alone

Your next will be so much easier on you

[sharp shuttle]

i think the harshest part is travel

[sharp shuttle]

i love talking to people

[gilded creek]

Anyone having a login problem?

[heady sage]

And I’m fucking done with talking to people

[undone fossil]

Honestly I’ve been considering a YT channel for a while

[sharp shuttle]

i think youd be great, i just worry that it wont be seen due to how fucked attention is

[undone fossil]

done with talking to people
talks to people to tell them they’re done talking to people
probably replies to this to talk to people

[undone fossil]

Yeah I think similar. Instructing feedback proved to myself that I can do it

[gilded creek]

[sharp shuttle]

sorry to break it to you but nobody here is using the platform

[fleet slate]

Hey Guys I am a Cybersecurity Aspirant I want to install one LLM model and run it locally for this which LLM model is best for me any suggestions

[heady sage]

What’s your problem with me?

[gilded creek]

Wow 😮

[undone fossil]

But I don’t care to cater for a shit attention span. I plan on making content that’s private course worthy. Doing it for myself just to scratch the itch & the potential benefits are bonus

Tldr don’t care for views, if I did I’d get fed up trying to minmax engagement and wouldn’t make anything

[undone fossil]

Nothing I just thought it was funny

[sharp shuttle]

oh you mean make your videos private and add them to a course?

[undone fossil]

[undone fossil]

No like

The same shit I’d make if I were making a course

Hang on I can send you a thing uhhh

[sharp shuttle]

as your friend and i know you already considered it but, just putting your intellectual property out there for ai to steal is bad roi

[azure wasp]

Stop using AI

[sharp shuttle]

?

[undone fossil]

Of course yes. This isn’t anything not already documented though

Oh I blocked that account it’s bait

[sharp shuttle]

oh if you are just explaining building block concepts then i see no issue

it puts your voice with the ideas

[undone fossil]

Yeah I’ll be starting with simple stuff anyways to see how it goes

[sharp shuttle]

i mean you explain things very well, i was surprised sin hadnt heard your c2 explanation

i barely use c2's and i understood and remember it perfectly

[undone fossil]

The one that resulted in that cursed diagram of PJ laser beaming a free iPhone or some shit?

Or did I give a more serious explanation at some point

[sharp shuttle]

i like the idea of "Why this TTP exists"

or something similiar

[undone fossil]

Yeah I think so too

[sharp shuttle]

its almost click bait

[undone fossil]

Almost yeah

[sharp shuttle]

im in full support

ill be your 700th subscriber cause the bot accounts i bought you will hit you 2ms after first upload

[undone fossil]

Tyty, it’s likely one of those ideas that’ll never come to fruition but may as well consider it

[undone fossil]

Lmao based

[sharp shuttle]

i get it, adhd ideas, rumination fractals until we actually do it

[undone fossil]

Yup and then repeat lol

[sharp shuttle]

i am positive like 3-4 feds were in my workshop yesterday

and i was fully expecting a badge to be flashed

[undone fossil]

Wouldn’t be surprised lol

[sharp shuttle]

hi feds!

i said "give me a reason to do my villian arc in my workshope"

either a rword move or based

ill err on the side of stupid thing to say

[undone fossil]

There’s a fine line between malice and incompetence. You’re fine :)

[sharp shuttle]

im pretty okay with establishing my brand as kinda insane

i think just being myself has worked thus far

[undone fossil]

Aka playing silly can work

Hell yea

Also its a niche area

Niche environments bring niche people

[muted olive]

hello chat

[undone fossil]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sharp shuttle]

yeah idk man, i just dont think corporate is for me, and government work seems to be given to strange people

not corpos

[muted olive]

@sharp shuttle How's your drone coming along?

[clever bluff]

Hey all, any advice on any roles in cyber that may be on the upcoming that I can tap into? I received my bachelors in CompSci, but I am interested on newer fields that can be great to get into

[sharp shuttle]

my drone?

which one

i am building like 7

[muted olive]

Uhhh the black one 😆

You shared a pic earlier, I forgot

[sharp shuttle]

remind me of where you are pulling this memory

like describe it

[undone fossil]

Find a part of comp sci that interests you -> go from there

[muted olive]

one sec

[undone fossil]

I’m sure some machine learning roles are probably popping up more if you want “something upcoming to tap into” but imo it’s a risky move

[clever bluff]

Yeahh it was a option, but why do you think it's risky?

[muted olive]

@sharp shuttle

there we go

that one

[sharp shuttle]

oh that ones done

its been done for a long time

[undone fossil]

That space is very rapidly changing, it’s extremely volatile

One day a company may need 30 engineers for blah, suddenly they may realise there’s an entirely different approach and only need 3. Could also flip the other way and be the best thing you ever did

It’s double edged

[muted olive]

@terse dirge Today I learned that K8S is 🔥

you were right

[undone fossil]

We lost a good man

[sharp shuttle]

no kidding

hes a poopernedes man now

[clever bluff]

Hmm that does make sense. Maybe if I can find a industry where it's utilized the most that will be great

But I appreciate it, thanks !

[undone fossil]

No worries :) best of luck with your search

[muted olive]

There's something elegant about it

[silver forge]

I'd say the most volative field is explosives

[muted olive]

No different from something like Kerberos in terms of complexity

[sharp shuttle]

the estrogen is flowing through you

[muted olive]

has its own rules and stuff

I actually found a privesc vector in k8s today and then learned that its a vector thats been known for a long time now. which I didn't know about earlier

like kerberos attacks

[undone fossil]

Counter argument:

[sharp shuttle]

lol

[undone fossil]

If talks / workshops end up getting recorded or uploaded anywhere lmk :)
