hello is anyone there interested in making group projects ?
hi
hello
i'm a lone wolf
what do you mean by that?
it's three bags
what U master in ?

Group projects are so 2025
🥲
Group projects are so middle school

You cannot send Gifs
skill issue
you have to be hacker rank or above, have a cert, or a special badge
Neither can you
anyone who wants to post gifs
bro its not a gif 😭
You still cannot send GiFs
im aware
I'd beg to differ
cry0l1t3 is real haha how funny im seeing that name now
esolangs link is not really a failed embed relax
hes a staff member
how many of you can mention everyone ?
had my discord minimized so i didnt see the full member list at first
As a mod, I should ask you to stop trying to ping everyone
im crine rn
I should consider muting you
Candy pls don't pretend to be mod/staff
Dude
hey would you like to talk to me in dm?
no
i only talk to e-girls in dm
English only please
why you trying to dox me
He's from ozymandias
@austere sinew
Hey ! So recently the hackers have created such a program to hack the different parts of my body and somehow they have done free typing in my brain and heartbeat kind of repeating in my head which is very difficult to study. If anyone had any idea how to fix it would be helpful
Shut up
omg this hot dog was the best thing ever
Anyone know how to end it ?
heck the box
its me and I wont stop
can confirm
Peek this guy's username
I did
Hey fam when you subscribe to HTB do the cubes you get reset each month or do they accumilate. Might be a dumb question but i couldnt find it in the FAQ. It says "Provisions a set number of cubes each month" But is that additive or?
Accumulate
Okay awesome. thanks ❤️
where does brath find these memes
he makes them himself
teach me
4chan
here is harmless
You don't understand the absolute mental people who DM me randomly
can i dm u im mental too
gubarz tried that and i banned him for a year
Lol
i don't recall being banned, you're too soft
are there nuts that are ever soft
yes but we can't talk about those here
Me too… every few months it’s, “hey can you hell me heck FB?”
what did bro do to Arasaka?
do you have to be verified?
i thought i was already verified
it doesn't show it on your profile
They changed how to verify a while ago
I bet we all know someone like this huh
Hot n fresh rolls
the quieter you become the less we have to listen
tldr; you need to link your discord account with htb on the website
i feel personally attacked
oh weird
There you go
you did but they changed how auth works on discord
oh sorry i see what u mean
English only please
you should apologize, they were only greeting us 
🤣🤣
Really. What did you learn
Nothing it’s useless
Which path did you take now
CompTIA is a joke

hackledoodle doo
Hey who reported me of dm someone without their permission even though I don't
I think it might be supernut?
cause I asked him to dm
nope you didn't dm me i didn't warn
freakin supernut
always up to somethin
section 10/30 of linux fundamentals jeez that took logner than expected
Don't expect it to be simple because it's a fundamental module
sry I know who did it
Pentesting is not a beginner level category of IT
hey super nut Can i ask something ?
before you do that check this out
look at me

Im a lemon!
its going pretty good for me im having fun tbh, just trying to make sure i memorize everything mainly the arguments to commands
the commands aint the issue at all but gawd damn some of them got a million bazillion options
Lemon
umm the question I have is their are lot of ctf events in hack the box ctf but I can't play every ctf they require me to enter ctf key is there a way to get the key?

hey super nut?
😗 what?
mans kissed me
it's just pout not kiss
ah

using my slave claude to construct my htb notes into github page
wassup
what is your field of work?
no dude i am serious
im a welder 💀
those are private events, and private events require an invite to enter.
lmfaooo nahh i just do this for fun on my pc
ohh
im still learning im still on the basics
there's been a known thing that some events show 'public' but are actually private
ummm thanks buddy
i moved from programming as a hobby to cyber security as a hobby
my real job is welding though
ohh nice
how far you have been in cyber ?
😗
section 10 of 30 of linux fundamentals only so far
completing the intro before i try to really like expand at all
ohhh
so im gonna be a while
any language ?
after this, its windows fundamentals im guessing
only programming languages i ever had to need to learn was python and c# for any projects i wanted to do
and i had to use as3 a little bit when flash was still alive lol
basically same thing different syntax
yeah just 0 and 1
python and c are very different tbh
what are you here for? you interested in cybersecurity for a career or just for fun?
career
how old are you?
ohhh and which country ?
murica
I am from india
yea youre right, only noticeable for major projects really
nice, lot of cyber security interest from over there haha
even minor projects lol
yall yuncs
yuncs = young ones or young uncs
you wont really come into much of the differences if youre not doing anything crazy,like in c you manage memory manually for example, python has auto clean up
yes but if you pre define a variable that load cuts off
in python
just minor load*
yea dude i actually just only got into python like less than a year ago, because i wanted to venture into hardware tech too since i was a little familiar with software already
then i seen lotta hardware runs on c++ anyways haha
@obtuse fern hey, if youre free, can you remind me of the difference between the release arena VPN and the normal machines VPN in Labs
umm only those which are newer and contains microprocessor
only those device contains C code
c++ i mean
ah ok yea i only been messing with some like amateur stuff, nothing too technical, i got a pi here, some microcontrollers (esp's) and like a bunch of mumbo jumbo lmao i could make a whole ass robot with what i got here honestly like rotators and analogs and motors and all that, antennas, scanners, detectors, radars, all types of stuff lmfao, all from temu tho because i expect to mess up a lot of it since im still learning
ive only ventured into arduino ide, im still a baby with all of it, i havent even popped open my solder kit yet
the stuff is very cool though, technology is just beautiful, nothin scary about it
yeah dude all those thing look cool but u have to make them powerfull for ex some antena and microprocessor with a code can kill a nearby device signal
I don't know much about hardware just basics to debug any real world problems
If I face for eg to change the port of mother board to change the cpu to build a pc solder all these kind of stuff
critical thinker you are thats good
Umm I learned the hardware basics from my dad
he used to fix hardware components
I just sitting there and watching him
and now I am here to find some good partners for career and to grow in cyber
and these mods are so toxic though didn't even do a single favor
these mods?
they aren't toxic (well, SOMETIMES they can be, not normally not)
true
yeah dude depends on person mood
Can't deny
that's what happens during moderation, sadly
can't change it either
yeah
these mods are actually pretty good, compared to others
I just want to talk to someone who is expert in cyber just a little talk but they can't even have a conversatation sadly
wdym?
umm Marcielee reported me for dm someone without their authorization 🥲
that's against the rules........
what ? i don't understand most of these english short forms dude it's my secondary language
wdym = what do you mean
ohh
umm like i am not asking anyone to teach me like a kid i just have some doubts but they don't even try to give answer of my doubts
It's against the rules
hmmmmm, could you give me an example?
just curious
This niche of IT requires a lot of studying on your own and learning on your own. No one is going to spoon feed you things. No one's just going to take the time to mentor someone that would take too much time. This sector demands self motivation.
Where are you at in your IT career now?
I am big enough to learn
Umm if i have to say I am not organized to tell where i am
but i can confidently say that
What roles do you have experience in that are related to IT?
ummm
or are you an absolute beginner
So helpdesk or what
i find people with 4 year degrees are beginners
Get Started with the HTB Beginners Bible: https://www.hackthebox.com/blog/learn-to-hack-beginners-bible
I can solve most of forensic ctf at eas
sounds blue team focused
yes yes
you have to decide what you want to do in the future, red team or blue team
then take courses based on what you want
I am curious to join purple but that require blue and red both so
i am currently i am focused on blue
note that usually purple team is not one person doing all the work, usually literally a team with blue and red teamers iirc
Then I'd recommend CDSA and CCD
I didn't know that
although these are for skills more than anything else
if you want to bypass HR that's a whole other story
if you get an interview with a company who knows anything, like a pentest firm or SOC, then ccd/cdsa is good
it all depends on your goals
i have a question
for just to clear the basic
in blue teaming
what topics of cyber security should i do first
only to clear basics
cause I think there is something from basics I am skipping
I know Networking is one
there's more, just idk lol
ok
of course windows and linux fundamentals
understandling logs
different services
detection stuff (firewall, rules, etc.)
logs are clear
OS fundamentals
OS internals
Yes
10 years in the C mines
nah
knowing programming isnt' required at beginner stages i'd say
that comes much later
Any Soc worth their slary can reverse a raw C binary in their head
Honestly ask @molten bobcat when he's around. He is a professional blue teamer.
he's a sr soc analyst i believe
umm please could U convince him to let me msg him in dm?
You'd need to ask him
bro if u can do that ur def a human machine hybrid
like the guy that was in here earlier
it would be easy if u ask for me bro
he was talking all crazy about some implant in his mind or somethin idk
Just go do some modules. There's ton of stuff you have do any way you go.
He is a friendly person just ask him
ohh ok
wth happened to this guy 😭 😭 😭 😭
@molten bobcat If you don't mind can i dm you please reply this by mentioning me back so i get the notification
there's still many hats to blue, so i'll only address the fundamentals.
- OS fundamentals: Windows, Linux, optionally MacOS, and their logs
- networking: enough to analyze pcaps and appliance logs. understand the OSI layers and how TCP/IP works.
- command line: familiarize with Powershell and shell (bash/zsh) as well as scripting with them
- programming language: Python is a good place to start, then C
- defense-in-depth: firewalls, EDR, XDR/SEIM, OS-specific features and hardening
ohhh thanks dude 🫂
thanks for telling me
i was lacking windows and mac and powershell
and bash
macOS isn't necessary in the beginning. i work in the startup space so its mandatory.
that's solid advice
ok
now i got to know what I was lacking and will dm you some thanks giving after mastering all these
learning linux will have transferrable knowledge into macOS. best to fill in the macOS gaps when/if needed later.
ok
what kind of blueteaming like forensics, soc analyst work, cloud security?
yes but what kind?
learning linux and windows systems would be useful and different SIEMs and SOC solutions will definitely help with SOC work
you don't need to be a full blown network admin that knows every little niche thing and theory to do SOC work in my opinion
ok so the mod told me that you are soc analyst right?
no
I've just done a bit of SOC work but none of it was professional/paid
I got no j*b 🥀
Humans are certainly complex creatures who try to understand themselves
I lost the love of my life 3 years ago
umm no I just want some industry level talks like what they do
LMAO
Who said the j word
check out Black Hills Infosec, namely their Antisyphon training videos. free on YT.
ohh nice
let me check
for high-level cyber role etc info, i like Mad Hat on YT. good starting point to explore what the different roles are like in the real world.
hnn he got some nice content and have a website also
Air tastes fresh and amazing.
ok i got both a subscriber
thanks for the resouces buddy
hi
hello 🙂
hehe
np. definitely get started building your foundational skills with the CJCA job role path in HTB Academy.
i have a business idea
🥲 that requires cubes
Man it's all pollution
we sell small packets of scented air and people sniff them instead of eating candy

not sure if it's on youtube but there was a talk at cactuscon on some android TV boxes that were part of a botnet
Then they crave candy, then sell candy
Ah yes
i would mix few fart packets
u sell scented air
i'd like a fart sampler flight of packets pls.
ill fill some packets with ammonia
eggplant?
e_e
dibbuk packet
Wat
@devout sail I will send you dibbuk box
no
gonna lurk here?
Guys can you keep it down Im trying to sleep
should be walkable distance to u
@devout sail What is best flavour of curse you would like
lewd ones
Please just let me sleep
hey any one used csi os ?
ah fuck now my brain thinks its in lebanon
I'd recommend the final skill assessment from the CPTS pivoting module.
and my keyboard is moving

why do people call the united states a melting pot
nothing is melting and where tf did the pot come from

you a yunc
guys I need an honest opinion on a thing..
if we are solving htb labs diligently, learning from htb academy and revising and practicing content, analyzing deficiencies (for example ig we need some knowledge in areas like python programming etc - just a small example, I think along the way I am able to find areas where I need to put more effort into) and carefully planning and practicing in the weak areas...is that good enough...like do we still need to grind on other platforms like tryhackme, picoCTF etc ...????
also I think consistency matters a lot..
so my question is that would you recommend me (as a newbie at this stage) solving one retired machine per day for practice? or alternatively switch between labs on a day, academy on the other...or any other way..
yesterday I tried solving one active machine and it was quite (a lot) hard for me...but I aim to progress by practicing consistently and tracking weak areas...
no
HTB would be sufficient
I would recommend Academy. You need to learn the fundamentals of pentesting. Once you understand the fundamentals you can explore more advanced stuff. When I started doing boxes I found myself looking at writeups only to ask myself "how the hell would I know to do that?" Academy teaches a broad fundamental overview and shows you the methodology you need as a foundation. Then you can start working on more advanced stuff like learning programming etc.
It all depends on your goals. If you want to learn, just do the modules. If you want a cert, do the paths. Academy will give you strong foundational knowledge.
Highly recommend getting the theory down in academy first before attempting any of the labs, that being said once you do finish a module that has a very practical aspect I'd try to fit that into your methodology and attempt retired challenges or machines related to it.
yes
-# i didnt read anything
Skill issue
why can't I connect with openvpn 💀
same man , htb rooms with openvpn always becomes a mess
No issues here
Hi
wassup unstopable teja
I would've guided you , but i'm also just an intermediate
Get Started with the HTB Beginners Bible: https://www.hackthebox.com/blog/learn-to-hack-beginners-bible
@young prism 👆
Yeah well i will definitely try it
i tried with linux. it keeps saying fatal error 💀
in my case it connects but the machine takes like 20 minutes to boot properly
ouchie
that's why all my interest goes to drain and I just leave the room
sedge
anyone uses hyprland here ?
i want to get it on my kali linux
but it's so annoying
@livid spruce you can install the openvpn connect client on windows and use WSL to connect
it just worked for me
it's fine , i use arch linux with blackarch straps , my internet is just so bad my tunnel takes some time
oooh daym
i dual booted arch
but formatted the entire partition after realizing I had to set everything up from scratch
too lazy for that atp
imma do it later when i get good at cybersecurity and make the switch to blackarch from kali
blackarch sucks
true
oh?
blackarch is a bload bro , most of the properties are broken
you gotta fix every pipes
i aint gonna get blackarch totally
im gonna install arch and setup parts of blackarch in it
that's a nightmare for me
that's the way
i wanna do it but im too lazy and busy atp
so i just went to kali
i wanna setup hyprland on kali (i have kde plasma on it :D) but it's so annoying
cuz there's like 0 support for hyprland on kali
(there's a teeny tiny bit that's not helpful)
there's a pretty good hyprland dotfiles for kali but that only works on nvidia 3d acceleration
💀
i have a radeon igpu
its gonna kill my gpu
I used to use bspwm dotfiles on my kali but ong that was so trash I moved away from hacking
💀
now my hyprland is just too goated
can you send the dotfiles to me 😄
it from Hyde-Project , very easy https://github.com/HyDE-Project/HyDe
im gonna wipe hyprland from my kali and reinstall it 🥲
imma go for jakoolit and hope it works
i somehow have both kde plasma and xfce on my kali
hyde doesn't work on debian based distros man
you can go for https://github.com/ZLCube/KaliHyprland
that's the way for kali linux man
Just get arch linux 
Void Linux is better
More stable
And bleeding edge
i deleted a firefox certificate and now firefox refuses to connect to the internet and i cant fix it. wow im such an amazing hacker.
🐊
send help
yea i figured that out
export your bookmarks and passwords/form-info. reinstall. alternatively, use a different browser until you can safely reinstall.
i reinstalled and same issue
wew thanks for this
lol
do you remember which cert you deleted?
no worries
k, @hybrid temple DM me if you want so we don't steal the chat.
For what I do I'm still fine with arch for 2026
Your shit is gonna break a bunch twin
Question for people who probably already know, but when you complete a prolab, do you retain access to it like modules after completion if your sub lapses?
My shit doesn't break easy
Think about it. One source for packages, no aur, only trusted packages only made for void. Can't get more stable than that
And secure
Void Linux volunteers are great too because packages are actively updated and upgraded very frequently so you're going to get bleeding edge
Yeah, one source for packages… which is great until the package you need isn’t there.
Arch gives you the official repo and the aur,Void gives you stability, Arch gives you options.
You always have the option to build from source 😉
Sure, you can build from source… but if I'm compiling everything myself, what's the point of a package manage
Installing some stuff from source isn't that bad and it's really only things like Intel opencl that aren't in the repos for void
Yeah it sounds good
@austere sinew happy women's day
You don't need to install absolutely everything, really it's only niche packages that aren't in void or stuff that's not commonly needed on Linux like power shell or Intel opencl
I think also dotnet you need to install from source but it's not a big deal, dotnet is kinda trashy anyways
how can i find the number of total packages on the target system 😢
Install it vro. Avoid the cachy hype train and become based
I tried using apt list --installed | wc -l, finding for .conf but didn't work
it's suggestion gave wrong answer 😢
I will when I get a second computer
Make it your main vro
Im busy doing projects I can't do that now, and my hacking computer shortcircuited...
Void also makes kernel version management easy
Niche packages are exactly why aur exists Linux innovation usually starts as 'niche' , void is blazing fast i gotta admit , and every linux user hates systemd
Or just install from source, it's more secure to do it that way anyways
of course
Aur has had I think 1 or 2 "breaches" where malware was being spread through packages
I also always use the get.docker.com script to avoid whatever slop debian and Ubuntu have for docker 
people don't read pkgbuild before installing it man that's the problem
slopy asf
ahhh why is this so annoying
What?
total packages in the target system
im tryna find it
google aint helpin
Claude does
all of its suggestions failed 💀
it worked out 😄
i broke my brain and figured it out
dpkg -l | grep -c '^ii'
i was doing a universal search lol
yep i did that
i was searching for all forms of packaging files 😂
using find and locate
i'm coming in late. what's your goal?
i might be able to help...
oh, nvm. looks like you're good. nice.
Me?
nah, homie with the package grep thing.
dont worry i got it
@supple plume can you please make a script to promot me from hacker to pro hacker rn
We could solve some machine together
no just make the script and run it rn
Hi
You are collecting certs like stds 😉
@supple plume please
So you're asking me to dumps some flags for you
In general
Bro I will turn you into dog food and dogs will turn you into dogshit, then you'll be useful to grow apples
nope
mine's on the other side of that picture.
Get one
echo "sheeeeesh" > root.txt | md5sum root.txt > /dev/null
That will actually generate a flag
No money -.-
thanks echo
Bruteforce the htb website input with that script to speedrun rate limit
Nice bro
get money
Where can I get?
job
get a job
yeah exactly, dont be a brokie xD
Give a job
sell your kidney
😑
small answer.
Determine what user the ProFTPd server is running under. Submit the username as the answer.
ps aux | grep ftpd
which module
yuh that's what i did
linux fundamentals 😄
U got certifide on thm?
hmm. weird. what user was it?
nope
that wasn't the answer ;-;
sun, you got any extra whitespace in your answer? copy pasta?
THM is not a free website
nope
i typed the username in
gotcha. yeah. i got nothing then.
also, call me apollo 😄
k
oof
thanks for clearing that up
how old are you

No job
@ivory mural dont dm without asking first

Yes, I am a K-pop idol that's been in 2 different girl groups and changed my image from being the cute one to the hot one but still act cute occasionally

how you became the k-pop fan?
ohh
guys quick question, in gobuster what wordlist do we have to put
in parrot, in the search menu I have opened wordlists program which has given me the list of wordlists available in my system

According to golam, yes 
he is indeed korian
damn
capitalist maxing country
but japan still mogs everyone
most countries tryna capitalist maxxing
Sorry
ok
not korean
um there work culture is so poor like high inflation less pay
where isnt this the case atm
korian
so what's the realty ?
there is a diff
Reality is everyone's economy is shite but we can't talk about it cos it involves talking about politics which is against the rules to talk about here 
hmm yeah every country is fudged up btw
so where are you from btw?
not my country
I am from earth
ok i am from a country which provides bhutan military protection
is that like isis
My Region is South 
Who here is from Silver Surfer's Planet
lmao no real protection
which place?
Bro India
i think yall were invading people but ok
@raw prism no politics or jokes involving political figures 
who invovled politics ?
man just forget it
I just used a way to tell you all from where I am
you mentioned a certain figure who is very close to political discussion who we shall not name 
that has to be voldemort
umm could you mention that msg ?
The n word
bro dont be slow brained
Either way they're a political figure and once someone mentions them usually more discussion follows
🥀

ok ok Now i understood political figures
ok
i also should not mention political figures
Yes so no mention of:
- Santa Claus
- The Easter Bunny
- The Tooth Fairy
- Queen of England
now things got serious

why not last one ?

cause htb is Uk based company ?
r/whooooosh
umm bro
How about Odin
As I'm sure you can tell by my fluency and wide vocabulary I am most fluent in Martian.
lmao speak something

Do ya guys know when the next installment of CA is?
yes
pls don't say this year
no
oh then when is it
what
OH MY GOD... THIS IS ME

Only 43 hours? 
wasnt a huge fan of it, i prefer the irl card game. From my experience thought the card game is dying hard,
konami cant manage shit
so much so that even locals wont buy yugioh anymore
idk bout the irl card game but I liked it
damn
its usually first turn wins imo
send ur library
lemme see
I get a lot of second turn wins too especially cos I use Lab 
I don't have steam installed anymore cos I barely have time to play anymore
sigh
no good games
i wish i was rich
id buy one piece cards
and collect them
crazy..
you wouldnt be rich for long then
my boring list
lol
kind of remember this guy, wheres this from?
Megamind
ohh yeah
should i collect pokemon cards
i never was into it like yugioh
but seems more affordable
am i only one seeing the new theme of the platform being ugly
It's visible for everyone

Hell yeah
does anyone know when we will be able to see the name of the next unreleased machine pls ?
sup wolo
when they make it public i guess
it isnt fixed
i'm just trying to know if there is a moment they usually make it public, last week the CCTV was in the unreleased section on sunday morning but nothing today atm
Miss 🥺
🥺
good that windows is dropping of a cliff
We are the same
10% is crazy
It is yeah, but its warranted
Thats so good

and it will just keep growing
I have been gifted the new version of final fantasy 7 (2013 edition)
has anyone try it?
yep thx

do it yourself
I can't its because of the server
why are you AWAKE
no
oh shit. @modern geode what servers ya playing on these days on maple? APAC servers are ass
im new here
yea, 100000% inactive server
nobody talks in this server unfortunately.
all users are just fake bots and are AI
or just skared to get banned ?
huh
btw how to get roles
labs related roles you will have to get by having activity on the labs platform
certs you need to complete path and pass exam then verify with bot command
as for other roles that pretty much dont do anything you can get by /join
thankyou 🤍
any hacking today?
nag. banning users today
i volunteer as tribute
👀 whatcha hacking on?
