I never rode a jet ski I really want to bruh like so badly that’s like number one on my bucket list right now lmfao that and skydiving
They're fun just rent
Yea I’m in Long Island too so there’s plenty of services like that when it’s nice out I def gotta make the motion to go do it this summer lol
jetski is honestly a required thing to own in my opinion
easy to launch, a super fun time, can fish on it, can do utility sports
its good
Jetski is lowkey opsec like not everyone can just say yea I can like race to the other side of the coast on this water motorcycle
its absolutely true
The most fun I've ever had with those was with the boat on a sea biscuit. Never learned to water ski
absolute cinema
Where do you put your catches? Fishing on a jetski sounds so jank
you get a cooler that is tied on the back
I always forget how big they are
I’d be thinking that too but then when I’m standing next to one I be like ok yea there’s actually a lot of room on this thing 😂
yeah, i mean you can easily put two people on a jetski and fish together
have done it many times
I just think it's really easy to tip over
its comfy as hell
Mobile hacking please help
when you get something hooked you actually start driving a bit for stability
I mean at least the Yamaha I had it was really easy to fall off or flip it
Randy Walters is a son of a bitch, whoah oh
That's why I fucked his wife and got filthy rich, whoah oh
THIS IS THE MAN WHO INSPIRED ME TO WRITE MUSIC ABOUT THE POLICE EXPERIENCE BESIDES OFFICER PANCAKE OFFICER POUND CAKE WAS JUST THE CHERRY ON THE MILKSHAKE THIS IS THE GUY I ASKED TO HELP ME PUT MY DOOR BACK ON THE HINGES. THIS IS THE GUY THAT WADDLED HIS HEAD AND TOLD ME WE ARE NOT REQUIRED TO DO THAT. THIS IS THE RECKLESS UNACCOUNTABLE GUY WHO ...
fix my door, fix my door
Stop stealing my dough, stop stealing my dough
Stop disconnecting my video
Get this man away from the male species immediately
Gross
I heard that with some of the giveaways they are doing it’s roughly the cost of one of the employees they let go
You’re not a real glizzy gobbler. It’s a reality you have to face.
European sausages are good every other country's sausages are gross I don't know how they pull it off
Asian sausages are tasteless
because it's March
it's obligatory for tech companies to do layoffs Q1
He's condiments slopper
They have to fire a staff for every streamer that reaches 19yrs old and stops playing
Eye for an eye
i mean they lay people off every month
Most tasteless junk you will ever have in your life
Earnings and layoffs same quarter can’t be coincidence 
I’m curious if their financials are even public
Still better than frikandell
It’s like meat sticks that were made to look like cheese sticks
cp?
who was clowning my cyber library names yesterday >:O i ended up finalizing the name
G0dzilla
Yeah its probably made with plastic or dirt or something
i went with Rint, a mockery of int added to the first letter of my online username lol
Captain Harlock, why would you eat something so dastardly
the library is absolutely beautiful though, whoever suggested obsidian to me as well is a goat, i used claude with obsidian and created LIFE with it
Don't question a man seeking a place to die

Wait, let me just read the file. Wait, I should not be writing these symbols. Let me just proceed.```
Wait, let me just use 2 gazillion tokens and crash
Certainly, deleting home dir now....
Grocery shopping done yay
yep... I can carry $100 of groceries in a single bag
10 blocks of cheese, easy
Wt do u even buy
how many bags was 100 bucks in your prime
100 was enough for a huge Christmas party 🤣
I had to buy a weeks worth of food for the diet I'm on 🙁
america it makes sense, elsewhere idk
@sharp shuttle probably 5
No way ts true
it's true
Is bigmac cheaper than like 500g of chicken breast and rice?
yes
🇧🇷
in america our slop foods are subsidized, even though they are still very expensive so you eat them to become poisoned, then be reliant on medical debt
God no
1994 ($100): A full cart often including premium items, meats, produce, and pre-packaged goods, potentially lasting a family of 3-4 for a week.
I got weeks worth of food for $82 (more expensive cuz I got some treats and it's all gluten and dairy free)
you were able to spend 100 on groceries in 94? oO
I had to specifically buy stuff for my stomach issues 😭
that was the family shop
Did you try downloading "Hackers" by Trickster Arts? I think you have to get your Core to level 10 before you can hack people's mobiles
I was in high-school. Minimum wage was $4.75/hr
50€ i got like 2 weeks covered, its cool
What in the hell
Is this larp bullshit lol
its brilliant but for skids
Exactly
at core 8 we can run LOIC
how tf is the server gonna be busy when im paying for it bro
I don't want to read my own emails
i dont pay an enormous amount of money to be told the server is busy
Vibe coding ftl 🙁
CDSA is good?
Hah you aren't VVIP to them
all im tryna do is make it present me my tasks and schedule
you gotta pay more than the others
pay harder
it's a bid system
It is yeh
i pay like $200 bro
yikes
LMAO
I pay $0
You have to get the super platinum VIP+++
tokens 🤤
I got a year free of Gemini for being a student. Thought that was kind of cool. Haven't used Claude, though.
I started playing with Gemini CLI
I might have to switch, depending on how things fall out with the Pentagon and Anthropic
I saw Network Chuck show Gemini in the CLI. Thought it was kinda neat as well. Haven't done it personally.
Just put random tokens and use it
has claude been down all morning like this?
i didnt even get my daily email
its 4 p.m.
cowork is giving me problems
I've been prepping for National Cyber League. Have to do my applied statistics course work too.

halfway functional, cracking and crypto fully functional as far as i can tell and right now just trying to perfect the image modding
using the image analyzer to test if the image modding works
🤣
i can see a big screen with a bunch of buttons that do stuff

it doesnt work that way
yeah, only adding actualstuff that is used frequently
time to hop off discord or i’ll never get any lab done 
i need that hacker rank
rahhhh
not trying to be a larp but its impossible to make a program that does stuff like this without being looked at that way, i just want to have my own shit in my own place 🤷
You made it with claude?
If you're building your own tools, more power to you.
like what its main focus was
Damn claude is making ugly ui lmao
yea its nice to build a local library of custom software
this is probably the 2nd real like actual functioning program i can say i have on my system thats like fully mine and fully local (it does have network monitoring if system is connected to one)
Yeah but those outlines and shit make it kinda eyesore lmao
Maybe ask it to use tailwind css or something like that
yea i agree the color scheme and balance and all that need to be more appealing
i got cowork working again
all i had to do was restart the application like it says on the status page
Chocolate cake
a day keeps the doctor away
Getting some hardware together to make the larp setup complete
I thought it’d be funny to make a keypad entry to access the system but that is so useless 😂
Hope ur 16x2 lcd works
Mine never do
braw
Is that a Pi I see?
I have two 3b+ and a 4b, myself.
Got so much stuff to play with so much radars and sensors and motors that’s just what fit on the top of the laptop the main stuff ima use which is the pi and the lcd and the webcam and all that for like a off grid setup type of thing for when networks aren’t available
Yea a 4
Had to get the one with a backpack because without it my oh my so much wiring but yes it works 😂
Yeah, I have my 3b+ set up with actual full-sized monitors and keyboard but I want to get a portable LCD and keyboard for my 4. I have a WiFi dev board too, but I haven't got a flipper yet. Kinda thinking I should just make a pwngotchi instead.
A pineapple would be cool to have, too.
these guys are quite pricy
Yeah, like $500. And their anti-fraud process is insane. They flagged me for trying to buy one while using a VPN lol
loll
i just have a 100 dollar-ish card with monitor mode and thats more than enough for me ngl
30 meters distance
i think
or more
Just like a cheap ESP32 device?
nah its just a normal USB networking card
i could try doing that tho..
Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah, those are nice to have.
Bit cheaper than a Pineapple 😅
a bit 🥀
yo wassup chat
I've got one here, they're pretty neat, but obviously you're gonna burn through button cells if you have it out in the field without a power bank hehe
Sup Kirk
Yeah, wireless network adapters with monitor mode are pretty legit.
Oh fml nevermind
all good what about you
Got mixed up with Pineapple and Flipper 🤣
But those little card Flipper analogues are freaking cool.
Good thanks for asking
hmm
i need to try getting one of those
i always wanted too
a flipper or a alternative
Honestly you don't need a flipper for WiFi pentesting, they just make things a bit easier and prettier
PINEAPPLE
Good god
Flipper is great for deauth practice and pineapple would be great to examine how captive portals work.
im pretty sure aircrack-ng can do anything
A Raspberry pi can do a lot that the flipper can
i dunno if any other tools exist
Yeah, pwngotchi.
that are good
All the tools used on Pineapple are the ones you use already in the process of wifi testing
a flipper is based on rasberry pie right?
It's only their engine and UI etc that is closed source
ah alright
No, flipper is totally different from a Pi
I think people use Pi zero to make similar devices like pwngotchi but I'm not positive. You have to get a wifi dev board to do wifi deauth on flipper though.
flipper = costum firmware pi = computer
No the flipper uses a microcontroller
like adruino ?
STM32
Totally different chipsets and components for all the signal work also
Ooooh yea I got the hunter cat that’s the only hardware I’ve bought off a site like that
I have great Scott gadgets bookmarked I plan on splurging out on that site soon
The flipper one is gonna be so fire
whats the best place to buy a flipper or another pcbs
I shared a link above for a cheaper Flipper alternative (Flipper firmware compatible)
Depends where you are
For an actual flipper, use Google
HackRF one is so nice compared to all those cheap dongles
Hackerwarehouse if US for example for premade hack gadgets, if you want DIY circuit board and pcb projects you can try the Arduino site
Didn’t great Scott gadgets make the hackrf one?
i wonder if i get put on a list if i buy a flipper
I thought that’s why I should’ve bookmarked it since that was like the maker of all these tools haha
How are you guys posting pics in here? It won't let me. Guess permissions are restricted?
you need to either boost the server , do a lot of labs or get a cert
Yeah, that's why I said it 😄
I see, thank you.
Cheap knockoff clones all over the place, but they suck ass
Comparatively speaking
I'll get a year of HTB when I get paid but NCL deadline closed soon so I paid for that first.
Ooooh right right ok ok
Yea the hackrf one pro is definitely getting installed to my off grid setup
what is the fundamental difference between a orignlal and a knockoff
Once I get an extra $600 to spend 😂
Best thing the flipper, pineapple pager, etc are for is collecting dust in my drawer
Oh, HackRF Pro not One, yeah.
cool to have , useless if you sit on the computer all day 🥀
Finally got the mesh mod running the other day... then went to get the second setup to play with range.. spoiler, I didn't
Oh just pro ok I thought it was a upgrade from the one
I gotta research them both now to find the difference between the two
I just see the word pro and assume upgrade
I've not torn them down to compare, but I know from trying a few different clones compared to an actual legit unit, they suck ass
Ryan Montgomery posts a lot of videos and shorts using Flipper Zero
Cheap parts, poor build quality, those are the usual suspects right
if i want to make one myself whould i get in trouble?
Yeah he does lol
Oh.. no you're right Riigged, didn't know there was a pro.. now I don't know which one I even have hahah
All I see him post about are gadgets and plugins
some people just want to scam the wannabe hackers 
You're already in trouble for just talking about it. They're coming for you.
I do believe he’s a crazy hacker just can’t get over the fact that he makes himself look like such a larp 😂
He's one of the top ranking players on either HTB, Pico, or TryHackMe. I don't remember which one.
Lol
😂😂
nmap scan @hoary dawn
Ok, I have the One.. guess I'm probably gonna get the pro some time for fear of FOMO.. plus there is still space in the drawer of unloved things
I wish I could make a pen test dream team with Ryan Montgomery, Rachel Tobac, Network Chuck, Pierogi, and Rainbolt lol
I2c right?
rainbolt is a hacker 
Idk about that but he's practically an OSINT god.
yo , anyone interested in osint and solving bellingcat puzzles
true
Rainbolt + Rachel Tobac = OSINT master pair.
Then you have Network Chuck + Pierogi + Ryan Montgomery for all the network and pen testing.
Yessir
htb would be the truck, you are the person pulling it
dont forget jon hammon
hes my faovrite
hes so smart
John Jamon
this was rude for i am right and you are wrong
Every Chuck vid from the last 5 years is just an ad
cyber youtubers love wasting your time so you just gotta find good vids
or you dont give a fuck and just get dopamine


i have so many funny thumbnails on my feed right now but can't send them on general..
When I’m typing on my laptop if I pushed down too hard with my left wrist the fan starts going berserk
what the helli
😂😂
Starts sounding like a war zone
Laptop gonna be cooked soon
Time to go get a flash drive
gaming laptops

we are all going to be flash drive hackers soon
where i touch the left bottom corner 4 cms from the edge of my 20 year old monitor the server turns off
more like 10 years old
once your hardware dies, its over
not 20
yoo brooo what u running dawwg? ahh SHIT thata SANDISK 2TB??? FCUK

Bro left his entire hard drive on the laptop too when I bought it
He’s lucky I’m not evil

Our body is a Linux kernel and our eyes are the graphical interface
I get off work as a Security Analyst only to realize I’m cooked if someone attacks us
lol, we are all cooked if someone wants to attack us
You work in a SOC?
W embed fail
Rip me
Everything would burn then
Alright no skin it is
The world is not you
I am the world
We're just made up of a bunch of wires that don't share a common ground 🥀

quickly do something start analysting they are attacking us !!!!!
Our Root, who art in /heaven,
hallowed be thy hostname.
Thy kernel come,
thy will be executed,
on /earth as it is in /heaven.
Give us this day our daily script,
and forgive us our sudo trespasses,
as we forgive those who rm -rf against us.
socrates has been real quiet since this dropped
trust me hes in the lab rn cookin up a response
I. Thou Shalt Have No Other Root Before Thee
Access is a privilege, not a right. Guard your .ssh keys and your MFA tokens with your life, for a compromised root is a compromised soul.
II. Thou Shalt Not Make Graven Images of Thy Production Data
Keep thy Dev and Prod environments separate. Thou shalt not copy live customer data into a test environment, lest the auditors find thee and cast thee into the pits of non-compliance.
III. Thou Shalt Not Take the Name of the 'Sudo' in Vain
Use not your superuser powers for mundane tasks. Log every command, for the audit trail is the only truth that shall set thee free during a SOC2 review.
IV. Remember the Patch Tuesday, to Keep it Holy
Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work, but the seventh (or whenever the CVE drops) is for patching. Neglect not thy updates, or the Zero-Days shall find rest in thy servers.
V. Honor Thy Logs and Thy Backups
That thy days may be long upon the network. A system without logs is a ghost ship; a system without backups is a tragedy waiting to happen.
VI. Thou Shalt Not 'rm -rf /'
Neither locally, nor on the production server, nor in thy neighbor's home lab. Think twice, ls once, and execute with fear and trembling.
VII. Thou Shalt Not Commit Unencrypted
Keep thy secrets out of thy GitHub. Use environment variables and vaults, for a plaintext password in a public repo is an invitation to the abyss.
VIII. Thou Shalt Not Steal (Unprotected Packets)
Thou shalt not sniff the traffic of others without a signed Engagement Letter and a clear Scope of Work. To monitor without consent is to dwell in the dark web.
IX. Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness in Thy Audit Report
If the control failed, say it failed. To lie on an RMF document is to build thy house upon sand; eventually, the breach will wash it away.
X. Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbor's Zero-Days
Be content with thy own exploits and hardening. Focus on thy own perimeter, for he who stares too long into the neighbor's vulnerabilities ignores the open port in his own firewall.
tf is your neighbor doing to have a 0day on his hands
you forgot to add „Thou shall not connect every device in the firm to a botnet that mines crypto”
jk

you really need the hacker rank @jaunty pagoda

I'm making pasta
That's grammatically wrong. It should be, "I is making pasta"
The pasta is being made by myself

My German Shepherd can hack
I have been trying to solve a box today. I keep experiencing connectivity issues: the pages keep hanging and now I can't even ping the box. I changed servers and downloaded their VPN files but nothing seems to work. I deleted the cache and checked /etc/hosts multiple times. I also submitted logs to support. Does anyone know what is going on? I can't be the only person who has experienced this. Can you tell me how you fixed it?
trie udp vs tcp for vpn?
Yes
sry iono then. i didnt have any issues an hourish ago
Try changing regions, use TCP, maybe set MTU to 1450.
this is the kind of information that isnt taught has to be learned by suffering
Basic first steps are disconnecting from the VPN and killing the target. Download a VPN for another region, hard refresh the page (CTRL+R), reconnect to the VPN, spawn the target.
More drastic steps would include powering off your VM, open an elevated command prompt and type netsh i i r r and then netsh winsock reset, reboot your computer, then try again.
Great way of saying you don't know either.
Works on my machine
golam does more suffering than all of us
I doubt that
first of all i never use udp and second of all u dont need to set it(always*) 😩
sudo killall openvpn and then restarting works
yes that's true but i always forget that because it's so obvious you don't want multiple openvpn connections going
wait i usually run 14 vpns at a time
rule 1 in IT never trust the user
true
"i just reboot" - uptime 168 days
-# turns monitor off and on
when a user says they always shut down but shut down means to them: shut lid downward
My laptops uptime is legit like 3 weeks

I always close the lid when I am done and it goes into sleep
When I open it back up I get a login screen instantly
I assume this is about a toilet
It's about a laptop. Why would a toilet go to sleep?
More TryHackMe garbage. Their CEO attacking Hack The Box with wildly inaccurate criticism because he is mad that TryHackMe sucks and people are realizing that now.
https://tryhackme.com/resources/blog/forrester-got-it-wrong-heres-the-evidence
That post is obvious ai slop, but "Industry-recognised, hands-on certifications" lmao okay thm.
recognized as garbo i guess
IDK how in the world anyone believes @teal pendant at this point. Such a joke. And hi Ben, you can ban me from THM for "unnecessary drama" but you cannot get rid of me or the negative press from your terrible communication.
i wonder why would a millionaire ceo even care about other platforms
i made a whole video, you may have seen it 
wait ur the guy from youtube
i am lol
I saw it
What is your channel?
u dont meet cyber youtubers everyday so today is special
Hello everyone! I post videos on cybersecurity, education, leadership, and all things pertaining to the world of IT!
Let's connect:
Twitch: https://twitch.tv/hack_smarter
LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tyler-ramsbey-86221643/
Hack Smarter: https://hacksmarter.org
legend
if you search "tryhackme" on YouTube, the first video is "Stop using TryHackMe' - that's me 🤣
Ohh I watched it lol
but obviously it was a hit piece to promote my very small platform... when I actively promote Hack The Box in the video 🙃 - at least, that's what THM fanboys think
HackTheBox for life
Now you gotta start making boxes for HTB instead of THM
Yeah, but I am still a big fan of HTB and actively promote it! I personally think the more platforms the better; and I just love teaching 😄
now i make them for Hack Smarter lol but maybe one day I'll submit to HTB!
i saw your video the other day and to be honest the only part of it that surprised me in the slightest was your own good-faith involvement with that "organization"
Yeah... I was very much a THM insider. Unfortunately I didn't realize how toxic the leadership was until about the past 6 - 9 months
Can people connect to THM rooms with their own kali/parrot without problems?
I don't pay on HTB and use free boxes = No problem.
I pay for VIP and use retired boxes = Problem.
I don't get it. Must be a skill issue, I guess.
Ya I know lol. Got some of your courses too.
I've never had any issues connecting to HTB retired machines with my VIP sub
Good on you for calling it out and realising what they are. Most people would retreat into the gaslighting and carry on carrying water for them. Takes some guts to say "actually no this shit stinks" and say it publically
Oh, cool! I ordered a new PC, maybe that's it.
New PC? in 2026?
mr moneybags over here
I tried to be very "legally" accurate with my criticism in case they tried to silence me with a lawsuit... but also they are in the UK and I am in South Dakota in the US. My state recently passed a very strong Anti-SLAPP law as well; so I'm not too concerned
but the fact that THM released that article calling a widely respected research company (Forrester wrong) and slamming HTB with very inaccurate criticisms; I don't put anything beyond them
If they sue you, won't they have to extradite you to England to stand trial?
yes - I do hope I can get a cease and desist so I can hang it behind me while i stream
was that before or after the time the CEO said he was using LLMs for literally everything and wrote an LLM blog post about how much he loves LLMs
this artcile is from a few weeks ago. He brags about how no other training company has launched an AI pentesting company
as if that's a good thing
I give about as much weight to a THM opinion as I give to the terminal whisper of a dog's fart
pentesting is inherently a manual process..
Ben got off his throne to even give me a personal ban in their Discord, and made sure to tell everyone about it. That's way cooler than 1% tryhackme
lol
i'm hoping to print that too for the wall
not according to Ben, who has 0 pentesting experience and has never done a pentest in his life (as far as I know).
I got a pentest done by noscope and it just kept asking support where it could download the VPN file
i got a pentest done by noscope and it just kept telling me there are 6 Rs in Kerberoast
long time no see 🤣
this is the way
Whenever I am stuck with something in the middle of hunting bugs or doing CTFs I run to AI 
someone needs to make another video, i already released one -- has to be a team sport
so tyler you just got banned?
Suprisingly the entire article just makes me laugh
ai gened
ayo no drama plox
no i was banned on Friday. I just joined the Discord to tell people goodbye because I figured I'd be banned soon after my video blew up ... and yeah lol
hello
THM is incredibily shady
I'll have to check your platform out. I love HTB but I wish vulnhub used ISO images tbh. Maybe they have some but I didn't see them.
sup guysss
reminder: vulnhub != vulnlab
😭
omgosh drama? haha
We generally don't tolerate talking shit about competitors here
Facts lol. Wish they had ISOs so I could import them to my Pis instead of manually creating vulnerable-by-design Pis.
could I link sources to prove my claims?
just so you guys know it's not all bullshit lol
no, genuinely, just leave it alone
✅
Can't blame you. A neutral stance isn't terrible.
it's moreso a respect thing; HTB expects the same thing in THM and OffSec Servers of not talking shit about competitors
it's childish for the most part. We can have our own opinions about competitors but saying the CEO is xyz is another thing entirely
Fair. But, that assumes they will abide by the same code of ethics, which they may not. But, we can always hold ourselves to higher standards.
can we make fun of mods tho
saying "yeah the platform is too hand holding, I don't like that" is a different thing obviously
it will be 20 years in the dungeon of infinite suffering for hurting the Internet Janitors feelings; but to answer seriously it depends, there's a difference between making a joke and just flat out harassment
I did notice that about THM tbh. It felt way more guided than what I was looking for. I genuinely like that HTB feels less guided for certain machines while still offering starting point and academy.
Yeah I'm sorry on that part I just hear from numerous people of what THM does and the article they posted was kind of a cherry on top
But staying neutral even after that is something I respect and can abide by!
It's just that it's a different platform and discussing things about different platforms is a wholly different thing. It's not really about neutrality
it's really just to not have drama stir up because people get heated, and then things get thrown around because people feel the need to defend a company that isn't paying them for some reason
Does anyone have the Forrester paper? I want to read it but it is paywalled.
Got it. I did like that THM's intro dove pretty deep into OSINT tools. I pretty much already knew about them but that was kinda cool. Still didn't want to use my student discount and use their platform, though. Fell in love with HTB several years back and my next purchase is going to HTB sub.
Im kind of curious too haha
If chat could be trusted to not act like children, there'd be less restrictions
So unfortunately, rules gotta exist
This makes me feel really good about my CPTS, not gonna lie.
Nice.
Welp glad to see im not the only one who finds it absurd lol
But refraining from it is a better idea not to stir up drama
Leg day is crazy chat
I just spent the last couple hours hardening Kali Linux on a virtual machine for NCL and making sure I did so without breaking my tools for CTF. Fun stuff.
Sounds very schizo
I'm paranoid. Leave me alone 🙁 zero trust, bro.
i just hack off my main os is that dumb lmao
VMs are already isolated and Kali is kinda meant to be expendable
I just use containers 🔥
ZERO TRUST 😭
No, but I had to make a shareable folder so it was a tad bit necessary.
uhhhh
Probably still being paranoid
Real
It was necessary, honestly. I know it creates the opportunity for VM escape but I needed the shareable folder lol
That's why I did some hardening 🙃
Didn't consider that tbh. I just locked down file permissions and slapped some defensive tools on there.
More so on the CTF part I haven't really entered one due to the AI ctf toolkits
I see it more so as a "entering the field" kind of thing now
My college has a NCL Team and I was trying to expand my networking to some of my peers for more connections with cybersecurity students. Plus I think they offer some kind of certs.
If you're not a millionaire or company no one is gonna hack you vro
False. Average users get hit with phishing and ransomware too. I just won't get hacked by a nation-state actor.
Malware on Linux is already a niche thing vro
I don't. But it's good security hygiene to harden. Good practice for a portfolio too.
Creates muscle memory as I keep learning Linux.
Let alone ransomware. if you're super paranoid just install apparmor or selinux
I did install AppArmor, ufw, and other tools.
Then it's already good enough and most of your tools on Kali probably won't work anymore now btw
Yeah, I might have to do a glass break or configure rules for certain ports. It's good practice.
I'm a masochist, okay. Leave me alone. 😭
Real I test all my rootkits on my host 
Not really for a Kali VM. Kali VMs are meant to be expendable
I'm aware. You don't have to give me the "ackshually" speech. Again, it helps me practice. I know it's overly cautious. It helps me add to my portfolio, though.
Most of the time when I was working on gumdrop my kernel would shit the bed from trying to modify the system call table or if I fucked up the hooking
That's why snapshots are good lol
rm -rf /* 😭
Just don't be an idiot and you should be fine dude
really easy to not install malware on your system😭
Reboots solve it all the time because it's just loaded with insmod
I'm definitely not an idiot. I know how to verify links, manage DNS, do checmsums, etc.
ykw bro install whonix or qubes atp
You remind me of the tin foil hat people lol
Thinking about trying Qubes when I get rid of this damn HP and Windows.
I have an Asus with arch too
I use void Linux btw and Manjaro
I might switch my gaming rig to void Linux from Manjaro tbh
I'm using KDE on my arch install but I kind of want to try GNOME
If that systemd merge gets published to a new release I'm abandoning systemd completely
I'm trying to make a custom Black Arch setup without importing a kitchen sink.
The true masochist way of doing things.
Gotta be able to flex 💪🏽

Tbh, it can be a real pain. Kali is way more user friendly.
You have to compile tools on Arch, too. I use paru on mine.
WSL is the best thing Windows ever did.
having an issue with one of the academy questions, I thinkIt might be a site problem, where should I go to ask?
Microsoft: "oh, you don't have Windows Enterprise? You don't know what you're doing so let me just reset all of your security configurations after this update."
opens a bazillion ports up
clears your firewall configs
That and open sourcing powershell, and making it cross platform
Nah. Wsl is pretty bad
Altho they did make it open source
well well well
And they recently improved GPU support
That's pretty cool. PowerShell is pretty useful
It's definitely sitting in the shadows of having an actual Linux distro on your system or live booting.
You don't need to compile much on arch if you use arch strike or black arch
Black arch configures and installs everything weirdly. I still recommend a container tbh
Wsl isn't that bad for dev environments tho I will admit but for trying to actually learn and use Linux ehhhh idk
I still think just installing it as your host is the best way to learn it tbh
If you want to make custom tools from source it's helpful to have a compiler, though.
Hello, I'm a little confused on where to start the academy. I'm new to this
The biggest down side of WSL is the io throughput hit. Apart from that, never really run in to any major issues, including running GPU heavy tasks via CUDA. Another downside is that it is (by design) isolated at all.. so someone might see it as a VM whereas it actually has full host access
Mingw and wine is great for developing on Linux for windows also visual studio supports llvm
Academy is pretty guided. Just go to https://academy.hackthebox.com
Goblin!
I know, I should be in bed. Stuck down another rabbit hole.. having too much fun
How's it going? 🙂
I'll have to dig into that. Still at about an intermediate level with Linux I would say.
He knows 😂 . I was contemplating if I should be a PITA and ask u to sleep or not
I'm fine, enjoying month long vacation
. How about you?
like should i just do fundamental modules and just work my way up to hard? Or start on the paths? I'm not really sure what to start
You should probably ask someone with more experience. I am in college for cybersecurity so I did paths but I had good reason to do so. I already have quite a bit of academic knowledge under my belt.
Installing arch without archinstall is about intermediate I think.
okay
Ngl I had to do a tad bit of research on how to navigate it because it was pretty fresh for me. But I was able to format my drives and get it set up without any issues.
I found it interesting that I had to manually set up my LAN interface lol
@frosty thistle I'm thinking about dropping Manjaro for pure based arch Linux
All good, thanks 🙂
I literally downloaded the naked Arch ISO. Let me tell you, Arizona University's servers are potatoes. I had to find the file on a different mirror.
Didn't feel like messing with a torrent, tbh.
yeah manjaro's all weird and I don't like it anymore tbh
Debian based distros 🥰
Still cool that someone is doing rolling-releases for a user-friendly arch distro
systemd merged a pull request that has age verification btw
Great
Yeah but that whole gov overreach crap is getting annoying.
Well for me this isn't really a big issue as I'm not from America or the EU
I'm not in California. Just hoping this doesn't reach my state.
My state already requires ID for adult content. That should be enough IMO.
If they only ask for the DOB I don't see why that's an issue in the first place
Just give it and go about your day
I guess it's not, tbh. Asking for ID is what would bother me.
The only positive side of this is that it takes some control away from the dictator Linus Torvalds
Not sure who that is or what country he presides over. EU I'm guessing.
9/10 bait tbh
You don't know who that is?!
I applaud that bait attempt
Nah lol. Is he worth a Google?
hes the creator of linux
and git
yeah
No but actually speaking Linus needs to GTFO and let Linux actually develop
Sounded familiar. Just couldn't put a name to a face lol. Saw the video of his office/servers.
So minimalist compared to microslop 😂
do you actively contribute to the kernel
you can always fork linux if you have a problem with it and make your own
Started to dislike him heavily ever since he banned Russian kernel developers from contributing
copilot ftw
This was to comply with international regulations for other countries. I cannot elaborate without getting too political
how do i sign my self up for scam emails and stuff on a temp email cuz i need some for a tafe assignment but my emails are all free of spam and scams 😭
Most platforms dont accept contributions from Russia
what Zigg1 said basically
you dont really have a choice, unfortunately
due to the way US/EU sanctions work
More like just every not-russia country

also iran, syria etc
ehhh, US sanctions are written in such a way to bite particularily hard
@limber heart - latest cube talk is up on spotify per your /feedback question. Just posted it earlier. Was a bit behind from the weekend
esp with how they are applied
Ugh im not going to get started with that
Yeah, fair enough
Google's bug bounty doesn't accept contributions even from Donetsk lol
Me
thats what I was thinking too
but just paperwork I guess
people exist everywhere man
hell, a friend of mine was on an uninhabited island near antaratic the other week lmao
wtf
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouvet_Island specficially
😭
Russia is a big country, yo
donetsk isn't "technically" part of russia... although it is. lol
How do people actually do boxes in 15 - 20 minutes? I have to wait around 1/3s of that time till the box spawns
Endgame = scripts
Ah
lol
u play with openvpn? sg?
I connect from my laptop to the VPN
A ton, and I mean A TON of automation
Also a lot of boxes at the start of the season just gave away their tech stack so blooders have already done research and designed specific PoCs
openvpn is literally unplayable for me
Even TCP?
yah ping is not stable
Cos I feel that pwnbox is unplayable for me, it has a better connection to the machine but my connection to the pwnbox sucks
now i started using pwnbox it is much better
Saudi Arabia turning its desert into farms
Hallo
they finally dug out all oil huh
Yessir
crazy
We are ready to retire headass
does anyone know about AI automation penetration or AI hackers?
i need to deal with a massive amount of asset output reports, so I want to know how they're performing.
i don't like OpenClaw
Crazy
o.O
all i need is agent + MCP + skills
the open-source AI hackers projects on GitHub seem like a black box to me.
Don't worry
honestly if we get enslaved by such a bad ai we deserve it
We can trap it inside Habbo Hotel
openclaw gets hacked like everyweek or so
elite ball knowledge 🔥
what's that
pixel art games always been peak
its Dr. DDOS aka Dr. OPSEC
brb gonna nuke manjaro and install pure arch linux just as penguin man has intended
It's only asking you because it can't see the image
😂





Got nooted
Is the platform down? I can't spawn boxes or academy modules
I can't, I'm too deep on this "little" poc now, and hello 🙂
How're things?
Ohno haha late night rabbit hole?
Chillin, stayed up too late playing bullet hell games 😅
I'm mourning my wife of 15 years

Can the oil that comes off the hairs of a horse be used to power a car?
of course
I knew it.
how hard is it to get a job as a junior pen tester? im working towards my Comp-Tia Security+ cert, CPTS, and CWES.
I have a Certificate 3 in IT and im starting my Certificate 4 in cyber security in 2 months
Do you guys experience any lag when using academy and labs pwnbox at the same time?
Junior roles are basically extinct.
oh fuck
what are the options then?
Get into lower security roles, and work your way up
😢
ive got a bit of experience in IT already but that probbably wont help
It helps, but the job market is flooded right now. Existing experience in a role is king. Most roles that say 'junior' now are junior in name only - they have absurd requirements.
ive done a short intern at a cyber security firm (a week), im currently casual for a company doing AI workflow automation and making a AI bot, and i have just been offered a internship at a blue team cyber security firm that specializes in Microsoft products.
im 18 atm, so ig im doing quite well compared to others?
ive seen that, its like "perfect junior role"
-# 2 years experience at AT LEAST NASA as Cheif of security and CEO of Google
Nice pfp zumi
what did i just walk into.
yall meowing at eachother
That's just Zumi
Ye.
I dont meow, I bark 
And I don't bark, i meow
Btw I see many using this sticker, from which server is this?
Miaw
Which wm?
Still I feel sorry for his time
Why lol
Because it is
Arch is the best
I used to waste days on ricing arch not worth it lol
Now just install plasma and done with it
Hyprland
There is a very good discount for metro 2033 redux and exodus .( Most of the metro franchise tbh)
If anyone is interested it's a good time to buy
Nice
I'm no longer timed out yay
what did you do to get timed-out if you don’t mind me asking 
I know :3
Hi everyone, when the gold annual subscription ends, will the Step-by-step module solutions still be available?
For saying something illegal
Like highly
it looks nice !
Arch btw
Iirc no
btw flameshot now supports wayland with grim
Thanks bro
ceald do you have the original of your pfp?
hi
Cheetoposting are we?
Looking good but don't use others scripts
Build it from scratch
I did. It's on my github
Dang
morning
I don't like those ricing scripts because it takes out the artistic and skill portion of ricing
hi all, why dose the intro demo boxs use up a spawn?? is this a error or is it just how its done?
Which vm u use?
it's baremetal
I’m not spending hours in vim Caeld
You can’t make me use void
Or Nix
it's arch tho btw
void is for laptop
this is gaming rig
GNG WHY WOULD YOU USE ARCH TO GAME
really you can just copy someone else's and change it how you want
I mean kvm,virtualbox like that
manjaro is too bad
I use docker for CTFs. I try to use VMs as a last resort because of how resource heavy they are and they don't scale well
https://github.com/Ceald1/Rice.git I have a few
I see
my void linux hyprland one isn't on there same with the niri one
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2hPzHXcIfxY a psa for all you racists
OMG counterstrike 2 doesn't take 10 minutes to load now 

i wanan change my terminal look,how
it is what is is 😅
change your PS1 bro
What do you want to change
Did bro just leave me on read
I want to change my terminal theme and preferences because the current white and blue colors are not easy on my eyes
You can do that in 2 ways
Define colors in your. bashrc
Or right click and then configure
There u should have options forbchaging colors
Thats the gui in simple terms
i know
but idk what color i choose XD
Whsts ur terminal name?
Custom wallpapers and terminal themes are a distraction from hacking 
No likr mate or gnome or what
i think its gnome
wait let me check
its qterminal
oooh i havent done that one yet
but you can still do the bash one
https://github.com/botnetbuddies/hackthebox-themes/blob/main/install.md
This is what I like to see
bash one , isnt any there for zsh
and i also want HTB wallpapers for my dekstop
it will work the same way for zsh too
there is a sequences file just download that and save it somewhere
and then in your .zshrc jsut cat the sequence file
wallpapers are there in the repo
https://www.hackthebox.com/images/landingv3/wallpapers/community-wallpapers.zip
Nice phish 
Hear me out, try out the gruvbox dark theme
I want to contact an official now.
This is happening, or something very bad is going to happen.
what's "an official"?
All my writeup were deleted because I posted a writeup related to Hack the Box
if it was for an active box then that makes sense
Yeah, pretty sure you can only do write-ups for retired machines?
I have no problem deleting one of my own writings, but deleting everything ?
can you tell us what was the writeup about as in which box or challenge
if possible dm me the link?
Wonky aes
Okay
