Yeah they only disclose after 14 weeks I think
why dont you have bbh writeups on your blog man
Golang
Wow, calm down
Hi
cause people would like to learn how you found a bug rather than analytics on a bug as a whole 
I've never requested to disclose anything, why look backwards when you can look forward onto the next bug
My blog is pretty weak tbh
Just made it to get hired
Before I spammed my article uere but it got deleted 🥀 
ask AI to write for you 
If you want to check it is on #community-content 🍆
so you will literally be sued if you talk abt a bug on a random tuesday discord vc
Do blogs actually help in terms of employment?
- open website 2) stare at website 3) bugs fall out
or war thundar forums
yes
Yup, I went through interview where they knew of my blog
It helps me because I shove it up my clients ass
What would you post on it? Labs that you done or boxes?
Via WhatsApp
shake the website and catch the bugs as they fall
did you say "stalker"
depends on the type of job you are looking for but for cyber yes
or writeups on how u found bugs
once i explained to a guy how browser detection engineering works and he was like 
Also I gotta say, writing an article carefully helps consolidating knowledge and learning new details
explain to me
I can yap about bugs if you want. I've shared some redacted write ups but never full disclosure
thats the only thing there is to yap abt
almost always dumb luck 
"yeah yeah cool, anyway can you hack ex's instagram account?"
like... looking at something and realized oh this can be misused
You feeling ok buddy?
in very simple terms its a set of ways to detect is a browser is actually run by a human or a bot
and if its a bot how do you detect that how do you prevent that and stop people from scraping or overusing ur stuff
if a website ever tells you "no you cant do this" then try to do the opposite -> BOOM bugs
"yeah yeah cool, anyway can you hack my ex's instagram account?"
Some of my best unauth bugs were because my creds expired or didnt work, so I found ways to bypass that
Real
I'm doing this thing in 2026 called "12 months 12 CVEs"
self explanatory
its literally just trying to ragebait the website
my rules are: only major projects, minimal AI usage
because realistically even if its not minimal, I'm doing like 80% of the work 
"claude plz find bugs"
make no mistakes
codex is actually way better at triage, but also very dumb
"dont triage test code" -> triages test code
"dont make PRs" -> makes PR
I've tested claude, codex, and gemini against each other on the same problem. Claude has resulted in the most actionable results
Yup, it is the worst of the 3 even on the max plan
i also love claude in those cases
I actually trained my ChatGPT to be skeptical about anything I say
Overtrained
It rejects valid bugs
was it skeptical of your training?
But its good because I dont drown in AI critical false positives
wiht proper mcps, skills and agent file i can see this working
skeptical about whatever I ask it
like is X a bug
and it says im out of my mind
if it actually agrees to something being a bug, I have something worth looking at
Claude is okayish, but it goes around in circles a lot
annoying
mine was cursing me, i had to wipe its memory
still good for breadth
claude is much better for coding than gemini
In terms of long running projects I find gemini gives up after ~5-10 mins. Codex will run for hours. Claude usually stops when its context is around 1-4% but sometimes persists between compacts
i love when all of them start with "this is the FINAL WORKING solution"
Damn your claude is aggressive
Funniest part is, I never asked it to be 
mine seems like it cant count
3rd agent failed
claude plz learn how to count
I've had it where the subagents refuse to complete a task so the main claude has to take over
yk what
have you ever had it refuse to help even when everything seems to be going normal
like some internal guardrail suddenly clicks for no apparent reason
weekend for 3rd agent
I've only had this when I ask it to research a task, the research tool subagent has stronger guardrails
how much money you guys spend on AI overall monthly?
$0
free tier go hard
not even free trial 😄 ?
too much, but it usually pays off
at least there is beard
ChatGPT Go free trial, yes
I got it for a year
Other than that not really
i cancelled my gpt sub
This month i had claude max, codex max, and gemini max, plus extra usage. I cancelled gemini though, it was the worst of the three
i have 2 max and I still run out of usage 
nah, not really enjoying it
$200 is a small investment if you are confident you can get ROI
fair enough
no confidence 
if you find nothing (which is likely), you lose out
claude code, maybe
but you will at least have fun 
regular ones? nah
fun burning a hole in your wallet 
I usually jsut target open source stuff
they rarely pay
but you get CVEs
$1000 bounty will cover it for a few months after taxes
then youve got 2-3 months to find another
the bounty u got from chromium is some peoples lifetime salary lol
😩
Is it not allowing you to make a payment or have you already paid and it is not updating your subscription status?
Ah alright then, nevermind.
Hello
short question - how often are cpe's submitted to ISC²? once a month?
yes sir, my lifetime salary is $4k 
ha found you!

hi chat
any haxx plz good sir
Good morning
now is coding time
Hey - Random Question - When looking at Labs, and copying the IP, when I Ctrl+V the IP in the terminal I always get some wraparound text. Any ideas what may be causing that? Or is there a different command (I'm on Windows, using the PwnBox VM). It's a bit annoying having to either manually remember the IP, or deleting the extra text
I want to submit the lil machine soon
morning cloud
Howdy does it have like (200) at the start
ooooh try ctrl + shift + v
It's a bug caused by you hitting the key combination faster than the virtual machine can recognize.
Iirc
What I mean is
Yeah, the 200 doohicky
You have to hit Ctrl, shift, v
Like with a second in between them
In order for the vm to properly register it
Ah OK - Good to know - thanks
It's super weird and silly lol
like this?
It's an encoding thing when transferring clipboard content I think
yeah maybe that could help
Will give it a try 🙂
Also random aside
But Ctrl shift v is "paste without formatting"
Ctrl v pastes with the formatting
Confirmed! Ctrl-Shift-V worked a treat 🙂
Hell yeah
thoughts?
i can send screenshot of what I believe the answer is if im allowed but its not working
nevermind im just fucking dumb
god damnit
Damm

how to hack
step 1 install arch linux
I am hungry now
i always had a interest in hacking, but never got in the field of coding and sutff. i did some python, but eventually stopped for not having enough time
step 2 get ceh
brother
i just joined as my friend is here too
then whatdo i gota do
hack
it would be nice to hack a lil
is that an actual scene wtf lmao

This is your first test. how capable are you at reading simple documents
I turned myself into a puppy guys, I’m puppy Vader!
anyone wanna take a crack at my ctf?
only if we can share keyboards
Sure, only if you can RDP your KB
ayo why can't i ping the target machine evenn when im connected with openvpn 😭
can you check your internal ip and make sure its actually assigned you one
and check your openvpn logs did it actually connect
its not even in the same network 💀
look under the tun0 interface
not your eth or wireless
yea it sounds like the openvpn didnt connect
wsl is lame, use a real VM
i can see my windows ipv6 being the classing dead:beef:x of openvpn
but openvpn on my kali linuxis being so annoying that i can't even ping the target machine there as well
lemme try to boot from linux again
💀
but no really, if youre gunna be serious about hacking n stuff then delving more into virtual machines and containers is pretty mandatory information
why dual boot, just install the linux on the hardware and stop faffing around
working off bare metal is just stupid and wsl sucks ass
yea my guy this is why we invented virtualization
very very powerful technology you should get comfortable with
I run linux natively and still have dedicated virtual machines for stuff
I even have a few windows virtual machines for some things
yea i've messed with them for long enough that im annoyed by them
i've broken so many linux distros while just testing the most random shit
...yeah thats what virtual machines are for lol
you can break em and revert or spin up something else quickly
my tun0 on linux is assigned an ip
but i still can't ping the target 💀
oh wait it worked on linux 😄
FINALLY
Hey, quick question — I added my student email to HTB Academy but the verification email hasn't arrived yet. If I subscribe to the student plan ($8/month) before verifying the email, will the subscription get cancelled or downgraded? Has anyone been in this situation?
you can't access the student sub unless your student email goes through :)
meaning you can't sub to it unless you have a student email tied to your account
So it would stop me at the checkout? Because it's allowing me to proceed with the payment and entering card info. I have added an email but it's not verified yet.
adding your email and it allowing you to checkout means it's valid
it wouldn't allow you to get to the checkout process if it wasn't
yeah
did u know octupuses have three hearts and blue blood
also nice to teach people new things everydya
Bro you know what I mean
So why do you make Fun of me ?
Yeah sorry man
I just want to learn how to Protect before hacking

short question - how often are cpe's submitted to ISC²? once a month?
Which module
Dm me
Learn how CPEs are allocated on HTB Labs.
Thanks, but there is no answer to my question. I asked because I'm still waiting for points that were earned 5 weeks ago. Account is connected for quite a while and last year in october CPE transfer was working fine

hello nerds
any of you fantasy dorks (coolest people ever) know of any widely agreed upon mythos/scifi entities with female forms?
examples: vampire/succubus/gorgon/erinyes
i am looking for more obscure ones
unique chimaeras are fine like dryad/fawn
im feeling very mature today so im gonna go with the double hamburger instead of the mcnuggets
Hello all 👋🏽
sirens but thats not obscure, rusalka, jorogumo(spider women), kijo, lamia, Penanggalan,Chudail, Nure-onna
Huli Jing
oh yeah the spider girls
thank you mad
yes that will work great
is there a name for devil women that do soul contracts?
and no chat, not the kardashians okay
I think those are called ex-wives.
like lawyers thats not a gender specific career
i figured the faustian bargain devils that are female would have a name
CEO?

also not exclusive
but the c is different
But I Need someone who Can Talks German to help me learn hacking
You're pretty much going to need to learn by yourself, that's what most people do. If you want some kind of trainer/mentor you'd probably have to pay someone.
No one's going to just take you under their wing and mentor you like that
srry i used to know a good server for this but i left it
bc i don't speak german atm
at least not without knowing them first ofc
If i had a mentor he'd probably think I'm annoying
Yes but I Need Help Because I dont understand the bibel
can you use artificial intelligence to translate at least
That changes nothing I said
Someone teach him the Bibel
hes talking abt the beginner bible i think
Yes lol
Get Started with the HTB Beginners Bible: https://www.hackthebox.com/blog/learn-to-hack-beginners-bible
Don't browsers translate on its own?
some do
can u google how to configure the browser ur using to translate
You'll get nowhere not knowing English, so my advice is learn English first hacking will be easier
this is the bible theyre referring to fwiw
double agree
english is the language of tech
I have an A plus in Englisch but Its Hard do understand
there are some german spaces i just left a good one
mandarin might be second best pick for tech
bc i didnt need it
Study more i guess, practice on easier books or smt
Ok what for a Computer do I Need
I recommend this. daughter loves it
Even if you found a German speaker willing to help, chances are he'll give you resources or documents that are in English too
Like every tool is in english
This free?
How many books is the series?
at least 9
Damnn, thats the pigeon's whole life
last week she dressed up in makeup to cosplay as the pigeon to go to school
shes the popular kid in her class and I aspire to obtain a fraction of her social confidence
shell be in the park and say she wants to do some trick in front of another kid to look cool
me and her mom will think 'thats cringe no way itd work'
10 seconds later
'wow! that girl is so cool!'
like how actually
wdym you can try to be cool and it works
Well, if someone does a trick for me I'll think it's a little cool
Isn't that how birds work? Or smt

What is a good beginner Laptop , I Need a good one for Playing Games and stuff
Those are two different things 🙂
Nah I also Need it for school
Right, but a gaming rig is a desktop
Play duolingo, it teaches English and it runs on anything
Not funny
So, unless you want to spend big $$ on a “gaming” laptop you’re not going to get a basic
Put the Fries in the bag
gaming laptops are scams anyways
Exactly
Yeah but I also Need one for school
acting real entitled for someone that cant even read the getting started article
Its autocorrecter
the new one is basically a big iphone
Plus it's gonna burn through your desk
same chipset
That is fine enough for school i would think
Not a mcbook its ass
Taking notes, sending email, receiving email, clicking, double-clicking
its either cheap macbook or lenovo imo
Macbook is a great machine, actually
Are even gonna play high end games? Some laptops can run some games in medium quality
Solid, quiet and performant… they run for at least a decade if you take decent care of them
depends on the model but yeah they retain value really well for laptops
other laptops you eventually are basically required to toss linux on it just to extend its life
It’s been a long time… been using macbooks for work since 2010…
Used to like Lenovo, but last time (a long while ago) they pre-loaded them with adware
its great until homebrew doesnt support your macbook anymore kek
Had a solid experience with my HP X360 i5 from a while ago
If you buy your laptop from staples or best buy, it’s going to have adware
No powerhouse, but plenty for work, and plenty for games that aren't like AAA titles
HPs are above and beyond the worst
This was direct from Lenovo, during that whole thing
cheap plastic means the top lid bust around the hinges all the time
This one has done me really well for a few years
Wow! That’s awful
This HP is metal construction, excellent battery.
I thought if you went direct from manufacturer, you’d avoid the bloatware
The was my experience when I bought a Dell…
those hinges are screws right into plastic
Granted, that was a long time ago
I think it is an x360 yes, it's done me well, each to their own
Whats the Best lenovo
Im speaking from the perspective of someone that has to oversee and repair devices when they die
so general trends
Oh let me ask chatgpt for you!
Yeah I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just stating my experience with it
yours can be good for you. but overall its not a great brand
Mine
hardware is hardware, just wipe and reinstall
you got like $15 cashapp
Which one do You have
@nova rivet google it… it changes all the time
Oh ok
x220 tablet
Ok thx
np
My ass so broke i need to sell one of my guitars
Type shi
Trust is a thing too, and I ain't trusting Lenovo since that
damn
Dell XPS I tried ages ago also
Very dense, but horrid thermals
(that was like 8 years ago though)
Hate to say it, but Apple have smashed it out of the park with their M chipsets
I think the only reason I don't get on with Apple is because I was forced to use it for years in a previous role, over what I was more used to.
..by the time I left, they then started to allow for different devices
haha
if apple would stop soldering storage to their boards thatd be great
Soldering components at all is toxic
Bunch of asshats
(not just Apple, but the whole)
they were already using m.2 before anyone else, they shoulda leaned into it more
thats my other gripe with HP
The cost of a mounting bracket as an additional in the bom, ok over thousands and thousands adds up.. but an obvious intentional move
'lets use m.2 drives from a no name company youve never heard of and put 0 heat sinking elements on it! what could possibly go wrong?' - drive dies within 4 years
Wth

mewgenics would disagree
I just couldn't enjoy mewgenics, not sure why
me and my gf are obsessed with the game
It was kind of difficult at first until I realized it wasn't.
Looked up Everspace 2 again since early access.. man it's changed a lot
lmao I am gonna do another section tonight. Gonna take a break for a few minutes then work on electronics for a period of time.
Kinda diving into that right now
then I'm gonna do another section
this is good my focus is much better
I'm thrilled
Were playing mewgenics and after that weve got nioh 3 to finish and then slay the spire 2.
but Im also focusing significantly more time pn project stuff so I dont get much game time in atm
Now Slay the Spire 2 I am on board with 😄
Had to spend a few days in bed this week, during which made the mistake of binging a load of videos from a channel focused on indie games
mewgenics makes you say the wildest things; have you gotten to the endgame of MewGenics yet?
..and now I have too many on my wish list
Im in the ice age atm but I have some spoilers on some things further along
spoilers: ||you fight god||
ah i was gonna ask if you saw the future boss lol
🤣 🤣 🤣
god the phrases the game makes you say
one sec
brand new sentences for sure
Ok, now I'm interested again
Ed is funny for sure
fun fact: He held a thing for people to submit their cats names to the game
itll also pull from your steam friends
its rare though
the creator of the game can be found as a stray
my favorite guy is the graveyard guy that says he's you
haven't played the game myself but it is a funny thing
the new edmund mcmillen game
hey guys im new here :) does anyone have any general advice for the courses?
i sure hope he put isaac references in the game so i can enjoy it

But seriously, great films
hell yeah next marathon
Fun fact: she's married to a zombie named rob
Oh god that reminds me
who here watched sinners
it was so bad it ended up funny due to how bad it was
it came out last year
taking the piss out of it but didn't know if friend wanted to leave the cinema so we endured the whole thing
My kinda bad
they have this whole ancestral singing scene to show black roots and it's deeply moving... just for them to switch to bass and beats and twerking
the whole movie is a bitchslap and it's fucking funny
lol
A movie that is not on the list though that i watched recently with a friend in cinemas though
is the new one with ruffalo hemsworth and berry
i would NOT have expected an actor combo like that to be shit
oh god it's a tarantino film
yussum
with rdj im sure it's gonna be funny asf
truly the feet man
It will not disappoint
but dont want crime 101
i think it's the worst movie ive ever seen in my whole life
it does truly take the spot
Hello there,
I want to know how to download the VPN file so i can connect to the target machine from my local Linux machine
They actually named a film that?
On which platform?
Academy or Labs?
Wah
that's probably the best part of the film...
it hurts
we have thor hulk and catwoman in a single film
and I believe a 7 year old could have hashed out a better script
it was like baby driver but made by a centennial with dementia
i am not sure but i think Academy as i subscriped to Student subscription
If Academy, you are prompted to either use the Pwnbox, or VPN when you come up to an interactive portion of a module.
also the "romance" was drier than... not gonna make that analogy but something with a nun if you get me @eternal mango
The problem which i face when dealing with Pwnbox is that i can not smoothly copy and paste to the machine so i thought to use VPN so i can do it
cant find the Clipboard
there was a clipboard this whole time...
The clipboard was within you
if the clipboard is within you, please seek medical help
Yes i found it thanks bro , Can u please tell me how to download the VPN file so i can use Openvpn
I did..
You can use the VPN instead if you want, but you can't use Pwnbox and the VPN directly at the same time
in modules where you are interacting with a private target (10.129.x.x) there is a tab for the vpn, all other sections don't have it
i mean you CAN it just won't work good
Fine, correction, it would be very stupid of you to do this
so really you cannot
The all i mean is just to access the target machine from my local machine so i can apply my scripts and tools and use my wordlists , Do you understand me?
Click on the VPN tab as shown in the above screenshot
There's a pretty strong language barrier happening here
You can then download your ovpn file
That will show above the questions for any interactive section in Academy
It really was... thank you Larry Tesler
In the plainest English I will explain how it works. If you're using the pwnbox from the website, you're good to go and no longer require an ovpn file. It is already on the same network as the victim host.
However, if you have your own virtual machine, like via a hypervisor like VMware workstation, you can download an ovpn file and use it with the openvpn binary to connect to the htb network for access to boxes and challenges and whatnot
The Pwnbox is the only one I see
Yesterday was my birthday
every date has a dead wasp in it
use claude code at the most expensive opus model and ask it how to download the vpn file and run it.
make sure it checks its work 100x to make sure its right
That doesn't sound right. You should see both. Please reach out to support.

Happy birthday
theres a couple sections that only use pwnbox
ty
what section are you having issue with
Some might not need the VPN, so provide Pwnbox as an option I suppose
For those the spawned target are available on a publicly available IP
..which means a VPN would not be required
yeah and iirc at least one section where youre supposed to get the answer from specifically a pwnbox instance
But ok, wasn't aware that tab was hidden like that, thanks for the heads up madf0x
tbf Ive only recently noticed people getting tripped up by that. I wonder if it was a 2.0 change. I dont remember what it was before hand
afaik both tabs were available previously, regardless of whether it was a target available over clearnet instead of only over vpn
I haven't dug much into the new update
so must be a 2.0 change
that would explain why Ive only started to see complaints in the past couple weeks
"For those the spawned target are available on a publicly available IP" that was the info that i missed , i can actually access it from my local machine as it public
Big thanks for all of you guys for helping❤️
tbf, the academy openvpn file is reusable, theres no real reason to block downloading it on certain sections even if it isnt immediately relevant/useable
Agree, suppose the intent was to prevent unneeded VPN connection (if they didn't want to use Pwnbox) if it wasn't needed. Perhaps the statement above that Mohamed mentioned is not obvious enough - /feedback is always welcome 🙂
Soc still in review?
Yeh

It's likely to release on the 16th
Regardless of the outcome I am dedicating my life to fish tank keeping
And abandoning society


Is there a reason why many CDSA holders are Htb noob rank?
Are there not many blue team labs to increase rank with
pretty much
hmmm i wonder which of these isn't a personal expenditure 
blue teamers tend to have less interest in the hacking of the box that leads to rank ups.
Not a rule for sure, but generally
and on the otherside those that are interested in it are gravitating towards one of the htb offensive certs instead
Are there defensive boxes outside of sherlocks?
no
All of your boxes are defensive boxes if you think about it
lol
the exercise is to make them less vulnerable
oh wait i misunderstood, yes, you're right
Yeh there's nothing worth points that's defensive unfortunately
gj
Nice pfp
thx, nice rank
Hello guys. I started my hacking journey in Hackthebox season 10 and i am looking for hacker rank members to join my team to work together on htb labs and share knowledge if you are interested in red teaming and offensive security feel free to contact me

What are you reading/studying?
economics
g'day chat
you have to have a high iq to understand economics
supply up, demand down, price down
supply down, demand up, price up
fun subject
U forgot the invisible hand. No paper
gini index
you forgot supply up, buy more supply, just keep getting that supply, give to nobody to spike demand, price spikes, take loan out on liquid value of supply, reinvest loan to pull interest, and then short the value of the supply before dumping it all on the market causing a catastrophic price collapse.
Everyone else involved in supply and demand is fucked but hey you got yours
I actually learned that one from the GW2 stock market amusingly
What’s there to do outside now
go back inside and hack
Morning chat!

I work 5 days a week but my gf made me a spreadsheet schedule so I have hacking time wed,thurs,friday, and parts of sat and sunday
how precise is your schedule?
Its Saturday for me
Sometimes I dream of saving the world. Saving everyone from the invisible hand.
Interesting.
4 days work and 1 day doing proper study.
I have 2d, I'll try studying more.
Nice.
what you have been working on recently?
noice keep me updated bout that..

by the hour-ish
I guess what I meant is: Is downtime implied in the schedule by not being there, or are things like rest, sleep, groceries, cooking, transportation, etc also specified?
Oh, Malware. I'm going to learn more about lowlevel. that's all
