general

[sharp shuttle]

ill give you an example:

Vader you are so cool, bro holy shit no flattery bro you my role model, i love you

Huge respect for you bro

[safe wind]

personally i'm actually eating salmon and pasta

yes, at 5am

[heavy oak]

If I wasn't a picky eater I would stay on salads and fruits. Why not optimize the vessel

[terse dirge]

pasta has good fiber tbh and I also have chia seeds in the fridge for fiber

I sometimes mix them into water and drink them

https://klipy.com/gifs/i-mistook-chia-seeds-at-first-for-something-like-boba-totally-different-but-completely-nutritious

[heavy oak]

I heard that's good but I rather take my chances with a smoothie. Looks too much like dirty water

[terse dirge]

you can blend them into your smoothie when you add water to them it makes them I think the word is jelly

like they gel up

[heavy oak]

That sounds gross but I'd probably try it still

[terse dirge]

I used to mix them into instant pudding and eat them

like I would make pudding and them put them into it

[heavy oak]

I had a smoothie with dates recently. Dates are now a necessity for my smoothies.

[terse dirge]

I do not recommend because they won't get enough water in the pudding

if you do mix them maybe try adding them before you make the pudding

[terse dirge]

those are great too

I haven't had a date before. What do they taste like?

[heavy oak]

Like a big ass raisin except sweeter

[terse dirge]

nvm it's butterscotch

[green plover]

am i tripping?

this was called hackthe garden?

ami right?

[terse dirge]

we're gardeners

[green plover]

-_-

[heavy oak]

If I was gardening, it would be the devil's lettuce

[heavy oak]

Dudes that chew like this love talking about World of Warcraft

[green plover]

😫

[unkempt sonnet]

🙃

[civic quarry]

hack the garden was great while it lasted

[quaint hinge]

Not true. The most obnoxious chewer I know is 64 and has no idea what WoW is

[heavy oak]

Old people don't count and you know it. They all chew funny

You've exposed yourself lol

[quaint hinge]

I chew very politely and WoW is cool

[heavy oak]

It is cool but the people that love talking about it lack social cues.. normally

[quaint hinge]

And 64 isn't that old

Only retail. The goats play classic

[heavy oak]

Retirement age is between 65-67

[quaint hinge]

Ill see myself out

[heavy oak]

No don't go.. our banter was keeping me awake

[quaint hinge]

I have to go back to work in 1 minute. Am on break xD

[heavy oak]

Bye 👋

[west venture]

I'm sitting here, contemplating my whole life UpTo now, while waiting for this blind sqli to return something useful and complete. Never thought hacking could get this philosophical

[heavy oak]

Deep thinking always happens while waiting on results. I was literally waiting on results from winPEAS and thinking about what I want my next 5 years to look like

[west venture]

😭

[molten bobcat]

im finally securing my plex nonsense

[west venture]

Cloud I am actively monitoring you

[deep phoenix]

Good man

Let me know if he gets out of hand or tries any funny business

[west venture]

For sure

[heady sage]

Mr Robot is NOT a hacking show

[west venture]

I've said this multiple times

It is a mental health show that happens to have a cyber security guy as it's protagonist

[heady sage]

I prefer psychological thriller

[deep phoenix]

Watch whiplash

Greatest movie

[terse dirge]

Watch Maniac, it's great

[heavy oak]

I'm curious what would be considered a 'hacking show' then

[west venture]

Something I found very questionable is why doesn't Elliott sister have a job in IT? She's almost on par or sometimes even better than him at hacking

[deep phoenix]

Did someone say caniac?

[terse dirge]

No

Maniac is a show on Netflix staring Jonah Hill and Emma Stone

[woeful osprey]

Test Singularity Rootkit

[terse dirge]

Real hidden gem on Netflix tbh

[deep phoenix]

Is she hot?

[terse dirge]

[west venture]

I don't think actual hacking shows are possible. People will fall asleep once they realize actual hacking is boring asf to watch

[maiden anvil]

idk if it qualifies but The Machinist was one of the biggest mindfks I ever saw

[heavy oak]

Because she can't regulate her emotions and the corporate space requires masking

[woeful osprey]

If you like rootkits, you'll love testing it

[deep phoenix]

Until they see the cyber nuke

[terse dirge]

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5580146/

[west venture]

As if Elliott can regulate his emotions

[terse dirge]

I will look into it. I was making a rootkit that basically messes with apparmor so user processes don't get detected that are whitelisted in a "hide pids" array

[heavy oak]

Isn't that with most things. They skip the paperwork in cop shows, skip the pre-flight safety checks when pilots are flying, etc. Everything needs to be tailored for the screen so skipping the dry parts only seems natural

[heavy oak]

He can mask

[terse dirge]

Hooking and messing with do_syslog may be a necessity if I'm going to be messing with apparmor

[woeful osprey]

To truly hide a PID, you need to close all gaps, including in the cgroup; closing all gaps is quite complex. But Singularity handles that easily.

[west venture]

Except in hacking, the most exciting parts about the job, like getting root on a server, just looks boring

To the outside

[terse dirge]

I just do it in openat instead of getendents or whatever most stuff uses

[west venture]

A non tech person looking at the a terminal of someone typing whoami and it returning root has no difference between typing whoami and it returning something like www-data

[woeful osprey]

But this becomes ineffective if you use any other syscall to identify hidden PIDs, such as pidfd_open

unfortunately, hooking openat/getdents is not enough

[heavy oak]

I feel like Mr. Robot just skips the information gathering and evasion portion. It gets right to the exploitation and pivoting

[woeful osprey]

That's why, to create something truly stealthy, it's much more complex, but the result is good for testing

[west venture]

Also it gets exploit development very innacurate. He be typing exploits like writing an email and it also works in the first try. The amount of research and manual trial and error that goes into writing a PoC/exploit is insane

[heavy oak]

Yeah, when he was building the code for the femtocell exploit without any IDE I called bullsh*t

[west venture]

Lmao

[maiden anvil]

yeah and the time he opened a god damn portal into another dimension with a computer from the 80s

[heavy oak]

My favorite episode is when Elliot and Darlene gained access to the server room of that company and then Elliot had to run like a psycho to get a way. Love close-in attacks

[west venture]

And the time where he blames his sister for being a script kiddie for copying some code off GitHub or someshit into her exploit. Ironically what Darlene did there was some of the most realistic parts about hacking

It's 90% copying parts or even full code from other people and adjusting it for yourself

[heavy oak]

But realistically she could have encoded/obfuscated it to a point where it wasn't immediately flagged

[west venture]

I suppose

I don't remember exactly what happened as I watched it like 5 years ago

[eager gust]

I didn’t yet lol

they need to send me my paperwork to sign

oh gotcha

I guess its taking a bit cuz I’m a minor

and it’ll be my parents/guardians who need to sign much of it

so the forms might need to be changed a bit

but if I don’t get me my pay, I sue

what do you need it for?

Old Boy (the American version) was a pretty twisted ending

I AM this box is 10% hacking and 90% waiting

Also I got banned from Google

[cerulean bloom]

?

[west venture]

I tried using colab to crack hashes

[scenic maple]

well collab is not for cracking hashes

it enables people to do legit work and most times for free

[west venture]

Cracking hashes Isn't legit work?

[scenic maple]

you abusing it makes it impossible for other people to have a free service to do legit work

ban is deserved

no

[west venture]

Then why do box creators store passwords in hashes without plain text

[scenic maple]

collab should be used for machine learning to solve real world problems

not crack a hash for some random ctf that wont help anyone

[maiden anvil]

good luck to anybody doing that one

the content was good, im curious to see what the challenge is

[cerulean bloom]

you mean the job role path? I'll have to take it at some point

[round trench]

Hey guys

[austere sigil]

Morning

[sharp shuttle]

Me patiently waiting for the follow up

Morning MTO

[austere sigil]

How are we doing?

[sharp shuttle]

bashing my ahead against debugging

the usual

[austere sigil]

Tomorrow is a banking holiday so I'm off

[vestal wedge]

no more hack the garden? D:

[round trench]

whats the most possible way to enter into IT guys? I've been studying cybersecurity after passing out my college and did some few certs that was in most job posts in my area and done some hands on projects as well. But I can't able to land any jobs in cybersec field because every job needs an experience. I am not gonna blame the industry but myself since so much people warned me that getting it into cybersec is hard as a fresher but I didn't cared about them, now I am paying the price. Anyways, I also knew IT in general expect experience to get a job so any suggestion from your experience guys? What should I do now and what will you do, if you were in my shoes? I need a job desperately now because its like a 2 year gap since I graduated. Any idea will help and Thank you so much if you are reading this!

[sturdy thistle]

same

[austere sigil]

nice one. enjoy!

[austere sigil]

start with what you can get and see what the market actually needs

[sturdy thistle]

Monday is a bank holiday too

[austere sigil]

my holiday starts next week so that's great

[sharp shuttle]

dont listen to me unless you are willing to be a "hacker", but lie about your expeirence but make some kickass vibe coded projects and do research in a niche field you can be an expert in

but at the end of the day its about who you know

[austere sigil]

brath showing his age again 🤣

[scenic maple]

did u breakup because of the job quality

[sharp shuttle]

Yumi worked for AWS, i worked for Lab126, we were basically brothers

[tame plaza]

hello

[round trench]

sure, sorry for posting it here before.

Thank you for sharing your insights, I am currently trying all this out as much as I can to find any job that can get me some experience.

[fair blaze]

What date?

[austere sigil]

AWS is deprecating WorkMail in 2027 so it's time to switch to Proton

[round trench]

oh okay, I am gonna try that out. Thank you!

yeah, IG I will get so much experience from my failures more.

[terse dirge]

@jagged storm you've convinced me to do windows, linux stuff is kinda annoying

[sharp shuttle]

jesus

lolol

[round trench]

you guys make your resume relevant to all the jobs you apply by modifying each time with the job post keywords to catchup with ATS or is it not necessary?

okay, I am gonna try both.

like general templates as well as keyword matching for some jobs.

[sharp shuttle]

Freak, you dont get jobs through resumes

those are essentially meaningless in todays landscape

Dont try to maximize it, focus on being present around the right people

[round trench]

so networking is the key?

[sharp shuttle]

It always has been

For a very short amount of time (1990-2022) resumes mattered alot

think of each season like a meta in a video game

right now, due to massive market fraud, the winners are next wave startups

not individual employees, the corporations have all the power again

its an ebb and flow

like my best advice is make something really really cool, and hope its good enough to present to VC's

dont work for someone for shit pay that kills your soul

[west venture]

Completed CCTV, but the sort of abnormal effort just to get user was worth it I suppose, bc I executed something (idek how) and got put straight into a root shell while looking for user.... Soooo yeah

[round trench]

I also thought that way because if i succeed networking with people then I can probably get an interview to the company via reference Where I can actually speak about my skills to an interviewer rather rejected by a bot by reasoning lack of experience.

[sharp shuttle]

During covid the meta was recruiters, it completely bypassed HR

That didnt change too much, its just that people realized how to bypass the Recruiters

If you want to get into a specific role, you need to heist your way in

It may be disingenuous, but its real advice

[round trench]

Thanks for being real. I guess I need to cook some production level project to impress the recruiters and networking as much as I can at the same time.

[sharp shuttle]

like i said dont impress recruiters

they are as stupid as HR people are, like dude they are literally braindead

Lets do a quick scenario man

where do you want to work

ill tell you what id do

[round trench]

soc analyst

[sharp shuttle]

Good choice, competetive, but easier than pentester right now

For absolutely sure, I recommend BLT1 or CDSA, you need a cert for this one. Mostly because it clears the GRC risk you appear to be having absolutely none

[west venture]

Guys I got root before user. How do I get the user flag?

[sharp shuttle]

The companies hiring SOC's are huge, right now, there are few roles that hire direct SOC/blue team/white cell employee head count

you will work for an MSSP or a Compliance firm

with that said, determine which one would be easy to weasel into

[round trench]

Compliance firm IG

[sharp shuttle]

I am aware of a local company that does alot of Blue headcount

they are called Apex Systems

as your first role, i would target them

they are global iirc, not ust local, i mispoke

just that they have a satellite office near me

[west venture]

In Oregon?

[rare monolith]

🙏

[sharp shuttle]

Yes, in Oregon

Thats another thing

where are you based

[west venture]

Now how do I know you're from Oregon?

[sharp shuttle]

I dont know and if you want to tell me you can

[round trench]

I am really far away than you, India

[west venture]

I'm good

[sharp shuttle]

That's going to work against you

And I cannot really help you as I only understand the H1B process

In india, all I know is many jobs get outsourced

and I know its literally hell to get them

[round trench]

yeah, huge population with half are jobless

[sharp shuttle]

In such a case, you are almost forced to be a trailblazer

If you have the cpability, you should just go for it

there is not much certainty in cyber right now

im sure you have seen the wild 2 weeks it has had

[round trench]

yep

[sharp shuttle]

that will not result in more head count

it will actually lead to reductions

its messed up

[round trench]

it support will be a good option right

i mean more probable

[sharp shuttle]

i dont know man, AI can really truly solve just about any IT issue

youd have to be getting hands on

[round trench]

yeah, I should figure out something. But what you said was true, networking is the key.

Thanks for trying to help mate 🙂

[sharp shuttle]

i truly wish you luck

i can promise you it is not easy for anybody

even people with jobs

i am self employed and i work 16 hours a day if im lucky

more often then not, its 20

with certainty i can say to you, nobody has any money

[round trench]

lol, thats true.

[round trench]

damn man, you really work hard

[west venture]

Can you employee me to help you brath?

[sharp shuttle]

if you are in oregon too

we need a network engineer right now

[west venture]

I can do that 👀

[sharp shuttle]

and it would be unpaid as fuck, maybe you get free rent

the stuff we are working on right now is pure potential

[west venture]

I. Can. Do. That

I am broke asf 😔

[sharp shuttle]

Nobody is swimming in money right now

and if they say they are, they have rich parents

a great wealth transfer is completing right now, and i am feeling it too

[west venture]

Yk brath I get paid $150/month to do all the IT work, manage the payments of the employees and workers of the place I work, do rhe electrical work, fix the security cameras, manage the surveillance system, manage the networking, teach new employees how to use a computer, fix the computers and anything even remotely related to tech

[sharp shuttle]

150 a month??

[west venture]

Yup

[sharp shuttle]

brother what is going on

[signal mica]

brath status online 2am

[west venture]

Given I am not from America or EU, but it's still below minimum wage where I live

[sharp shuttle]

i am sorry, like i know i have it good being in a country like america, its just a sorry state

[west venture]

🥲

[scenic maple]

Keep the payments for a mo th and disappear

\jk

[proper dragon]

You think the job market will heal and be an employees market again anytime soon or is it cooked another 5 years minimum?

[sharp shuttle]

i have nothing but negative feelings about the future of us all

sorry man

[proper dragon]

At least you're staying positive

[sharp shuttle]

i really am trying lol

[runic cliff]

I somehow landed on a low paying gov IT job
But will quit it in 2-3 yrs

[proper dragon]

I just don't pay my student loans lmfao
no job no money, not my problem

i live in a state that agressively protects from debt collectors

[sharp shuttle]

the correct choice is to stop paying student loans

they scammed you, fuck them

[proper dragon]

I moved here specifically to stop paying student loans

[sharp shuttle]

what state?

[round trench]

+1

[proper dragon]

muh OPSEC

The only issue for me would be wage garnishment for federal loans

But guess what

No job

[sharp shuttle]

yeah, i mean the genuine move right now is to break the laws and rules that were created to protect your livelihood

thats what hacking is

you are just living in good faith

just dont mess with other people struggling like you

[proper dragon]

When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty

[sharp shuttle]

Well we arent quite there

we can still be passive

i dont want to radicalize anybody, but you should start prepearing for the worst

[proper dragon]

In the US it won't get that bad

[sharp shuttle]

brother, it starts here and shatters the world

its not going to happen the other way

[proper dragon]

That's exactly why it won't be as bad in the US

We are at the top of the pile

[sharp shuttle]

im happy to hear why you think that

[proper dragon]

Tell me why you think it wont

[sharp shuttle]

sure

1. we have no financial protections anymore, our market is manipulated by our senate, congress, and presdient every week through speculative giga casino in which all our financial firms trade using automated systems

2. trust in our communities has never been lower, child care is so high, that you have to be a top 15% earner to support a single child without subsidies

3. every corporation has accelerated offshoring, outsourcing, and layoffs while claiming its due to inflation or AI

4. prices on every single basic good has outpaced inflation, in fact its so bad that basic needs are considered luxury now

i can go on

let me know if you disagree

[proper dragon]

The US has the most wealth, a highly educated populace skimmed from the best of the best of other countries, a wicked military presence, a huge set of reserves, and leaders that understand that if the money is clotting the gears will stop turning. We're also trying to revivify out industrial potential and have huge investments in us from other powerhouses.

To your points:

1. We're having a financial war with the City of London. It's grim.

[west venture]

Wait... Are you suggesting transfer all the funds released for all the salaries into my account and then disappear?

Wait

[proper dragon]

2. Yea

[sharp shuttle]

i also want to make sure you understand our military is pathetic right now

[scenic maple]

No

[west venture]

Yes!

[scenic maple]

[proper dragon]

3. AI is still just a tool. Adapt and overcome will be the strat that separates the wheat from the chaff

[west venture]

Bc I have admin access to manage funds!

[proper dragon]

4. Yea

[sharp shuttle]

what do we do with billions of people under 125 iq?

[west venture]

My iq is 61

[sharp shuttle]

i guess id start there

[proper dragon]

Our military has been the most active in the world for the last 5 decades. No military on Earth will match our logistics. We also have plenty of meat for the meat grinder, as dark as that truth is. That's what will be done with them. At least that's the direction we're heading in

Not that I agree

But nobody wants to do the hard work and everyone feels entitled to things they didnt earn. That only leads to so many outcomes

[sharp shuttle]

Iran effectively blinded the Us/Israel in week one with cheap DIY drones, we are not "crushing" it over there right now. We are suffering casualities, which rarely happened in that 5 decades man

[west venture]

Ngl the Chinese and Russian militaries combined will overpower the US

[sharp shuttle]

The reality is the US is a paper tiger right now

[proper dragon]

Russia and China have different economic and strategic objectives. China is working hard enough to manage their economy right now. They don't have the means for a war

[west venture]

And because of you. We don't have oil. Like what the fuck. I have to wait in fuel ques for like 30 minutes and I cannot get fuel to a can like I used to. Also there are rations on fuel. It's literally the fault of the US

[proper dragon]

We've also been very nice to Iran as a whole, all things considered. They've only lost one of their desalinization plants

[sharp shuttle]

this is not really a hill i want to argue on, but i am simply stating that the US and Israel is really really struggling right now, and that is the truth

We expected to crush Iran like we did in Venezuela

they are outwitting us

[proper dragon]

Not one I partucularly appreciate either, but war is war, and we're still quite moral about it all

[west venture]

"nice"

US responsible for deadly attack on Iranian school: Amnesty International | US-Israel war on Iran News | Al Jazeera https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/16/us-responsible-for-deadly-attack-on-iranian-school-amnesty-international

[sharp shuttle]

I think its easy to be ruthless yes, but its hard to be ruthless when you are blind

[proper dragon]

Iran has always been incredibly smart. In any case, I agree that this is nuts

[sharp shuttle]

The US has been doing strategic strikes through other peoples intel

[proper dragon]

Russia is feeding Iran intel against the US cause we've been supporting Ukraine too

It's a cluster for sure

[sharp shuttle]

Thats partly why Trumperino is REEEing so hard when other countries will not work with him

[sharp shuttle]

absolutely, and so is china

[proper dragon]

We're still better off than every nation but Russia and China

[sick gate]

zero public support too

[sharp shuttle]

Well its really is just that simple

its NATO vs. BRICS

there is not much else to say

the axis are declared

[proper dragon]

There is a possibility that much of the strategy of this war is to disrupt energy supply chains to NATO for as long as possible..

[sharp shuttle]

this is just another proxy war in which we fumbled extremely

[west venture]

Idk about better off than every nation. Scandinavian countries for instance are probably much ahead

[chilly sleet]

Anyone recently ordered a certification package from HTB? I have been waiting for two months, now finally 'receiving' an status update that the order is being shipped from the USA?? And that I have to pay import duties?? Previous orders I did not have this issue. Anyone else experienced the same?

[sharp shuttle]

I just think its wild we started this unprovoked, called it "ePiC fUrY" (i wonder why)

[proper dragon]

Wait until they run low on reserves and then want to get some energy from Russia and nato denies it

[sick gate]

i think because in the past the package was manufactured/stored in separate locations and came in two parts and now its coming from one?

[west venture]

Well that's in this very specific war scenario. I mean overall, people in those countries seem to have it much better than people in the US.

[sharp shuttle]

I think you understand what you are saying, but i think we are seeing it from different perspectives

and with that said, its probably fine to leave it at that

my most genuine concern right now is the cyber warfare that is sufacing publicly recently

[proper dragon]

I think alot of that has to do more with the fact that they have free education, healthcare, and people that arent used as debtslaves for the majority of their lives

[sharp shuttle]

that in my mind will cripple the US more than Oil

[west venture]

Iran, Russia and China probably have a joint cyber operation already

[chilly sleet]

Okay yeah I'm a bit sceptic because the sender is unknown for me but I think it's the HTB package.

Thanks for the explanation

[sharp shuttle]

China does basically all cyber-warfare, the same way israel does. It's just through various vassal states, both sides.

[sick gate]

when i looked at the cape one it said something about import duties

so yeah that tracks

[proper dragon]

to be fair, cyber warfare is a luxury of energy

[sharp shuttle]

absolutely it is

[chilly sleet]

Yeah I see it now too but it's weird coming from america haha

[west venture]

And zero casualties

Better than normal warfare

[sharp shuttle]

You will never know the true casualties until the dust settles

and even then, its told by the victor

warfare is deception

[west venture]

Yk china pays devs not to fix vulnerabilities in their software and even to install backdoors in popular software. They pay millions

[sharp shuttle]

you ahve to understand the division is simple

[proper dragon]

if people were less greedy and more cooperative and rational we wouldnt be here
I hate to say it but I watched this video by this quant analst that says the high variance of the IQ distribution is a source for many of society's problems
Insanely blackpilling

[sharp shuttle]

china: hardware
israel/US: software

they both espionage the fuck out of their respective domain

the meta is quickly moving in favor of hardware

[proper dragon]

i've worked with israeli software companies in biopharmaceuticals and they're cooking up some wild shit
I really hope things resolve with some sanity

[sick gate]

do you think the US international surveillance apparatus stopped at hollywood?

[proper dragon]

anyway my perspecitive on the matter is that the US is still growth oriented..out economy still has that latitude even though we're in a war

[west venture]

Ik they do it too. I am just saying

[proper dragon]

they're also almost fully propped up by the US taxpayer

guess who isn't supporting them in here

[west venture]

Lol

[sharp shuttle]

perhaps an extreme opinion

but oh well

[west venture]

Like there are local businesses open by Israeli citizens all over the place here. The government for some reason isn't really doing anything about it too, even though they've started a new life here while on tourist visa

[west venture]

Yeah democracy sucks

Not everyone should vote. Only educated people should be able to vote.

[fierce vale]

Well, time to read The Republic I guess

[west venture]

Or at least pass a basic test of common sense and basic facts

[lime trout]

yknow a similar thing can be accomplished by just improving public education

and making it more accessible

[west venture]

Bc votes affect everyone

[sick gate]

only the people i deem capable should get to vote

[west venture]

People don't like to learn

I don't mean learn to get a job and get a degree. No, there are people who can't read or write, who believe that Crystals have healing powers, who think the earth is flat, and keep claiming that modern science is a conspiracy theory that is meant to keep people from knowing the truth.

They should not be able to vote and I don't want my future be potentially decided by someone with the mental state of a meth head.

my point is just, address the underlying causes

[sick gate]

truancy comes from its own range of social issues

i think if we can learn anything fromthe US its that punishing crime doesnt stop crime

[west venture]

I get that shcools aren't good now, but what exactly is anyone supposed to do about it? Education is more accessible than it has ever been. The internet has literally all the knowledge there is. What are we supposed to do, plug in a brain computer interface and forcefully write the knowledge into people's brains?

[sharp shuttle]

i will charge it by siphoning from tesla owners

As a parent you can always educate your child right?

[lime trout]

[lime trout]

you just dont have the time

[sharp shuttle]

[jagged storm]

I think the entire model of school is built for a time that doesn't exist. The argument used to be for a well-rounded curriculum because you wouldn't get the opportunity to learn things after, but we do have the internet in that regard.

i dunno how thats even possible

[cerulean bloom]

but

I don’t think my social media has anything wrong tbh

[lime trout]

eh, your bigger issue is the DoS being slow af these days

[jagged storm]

You get tax benefits for having a kid, and eventually you qualify for aid

[cerulean bloom]

thats true

but

I have months of time

[lime trout]

yes months

[jagged storm]

I think it's like a $5k tax credit per kid

So you get a beefy tax return each year

[lime trout]

that doesnt make a dent in the costs

[lime trout]

you shouldnt, still

adjust your w4

the ideal return is 0

[jagged storm]

I think I'm the only one in the US that does this. Nobody does.

[lime trout]

anything else is giving an interest free loan 😭

[jagged storm]

Everyone treats a big tax return as like a holiday season

[quaint hinge]

Yerp

Its like Christmas comes twice

[lime trout]

i got like, $10 back for FY25

[jagged storm]

But if you are a stay at home parent with 0 income, you'll get a beefy check no matter what, because of that extra credit.

[lime trout]

that makes me happy

[lime trout]

shouldnt you just file MFJ and your spouse claim all the deductions on their w4, though?

[jagged storm]

It won't help, but people here celebrate it

[obsidian tartan]

its out!

[quaint hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/i-like-money-frito-idiocracy-gif-3480249

[lime trout]

you get the money in your cheques, instead

[jagged storm]

People who generally are in a stay at home parent situation are usually still behind the poverty level for combined income. They will get a check regardless, and then you add the $5k

[lime trout]

that makes 0 sense

how can you afford to have a stay at home parent, but be below the poverty line

having a parent stay at home is expensive

[jagged storm]

Social services. Snap, Medicaid, etc...

[quaint hinge]

Tbh. I like getting my return bc I have poor spending habits. It saves me from myself xD

Its like a piggy bank, but the govt is the pig, and I dont get to smash it

[obsidian tartan]

they forgot to change the CWPE logo at the bottom

[lime trout]

i mean, i guess during non-grade-school years it makes sense

if income is less then daycare cost

[lime trout]

what page is that from

[obsidian tartan]

https://academy.hackthebox.com/app/exams/9

[lime trout]

thanks

[jagged storm]

Daycare is expensive as hell, and there's this awkward middle spot where one person in the relationship makes basically just exactly what the daycare costs. They will become upset by this, because at that point, why not just stay home?

[sharp shuttle]

9 exams? whats on 6,7,8

[jagged storm]

You basically have to make a good bit more than daycare costs to justify using it.

[alpine pumice]

[finite current]

u wanna know if i become moderator then what will the work i do first

[alpine pumice]

they look for people who help community members and just pick them. there's no process or applying or anything.

[upbeat tangle]

Swedish VPNs ftw

[finite current]

yeah as i am helping u to talk

[finite current]

what about tor

[alpine pumice]

tor isn't a vpn

not comparable

[silver forge]

ah Sweden, the European country with the most draconinan intelligence laws in Europe

[finite current]

yeah but its also gives anonimity

isnt it ?

i know about the diff of tor and vpn

[proper dragon]

who's gonna tell him

[alpine pumice]

i think if a nation state wants to identify you, then it doesn't really matter. they have the capability to find you through metadata, etc.

[finite current]

thats why use vpn before using tor

[alpine pumice]

Get this if you're really interested in privacy https://inteltechniques.com/book7.html

[proper dragon]

lets say I wanted to go the crypto direction of cybersec
are there jobs? do I have to become a total sweat?

[alpine pumice]

I feel like you have to be a total sweat for any field of IT right now

or better yet just know someone

nepotism is a great way to get hired

[finite current]

yeah otherwise A.I will be there

[proper dragon]

fair enough

[warm ravine]

Where was I?

Oh uh

@alpine pumice Do you accept DMs?

I wanna report someone

I mean

[alpine pumice]

For Discord moderation issues you do not need to ask permission, you can just DM an admin/mod

[wild raptor]

programming a silly lil robot to go round a maze for uni

[warm ravine]

Oh alr

[pseudo bluff]

I mean they don’t log but they’ll gladly hand over the ip connected to the proton vpn ip if there’s a reason for someone to ask

[proper dragon]

🤡 world

[upbeat tangle]

Yes, maybe. I never thought about researching that

[pseudo bluff]

[warm ravine]

[azure remnant]

[supple plume]

I hope htb likes my machine

[azure remnant]

what machine is it

[proper dragon]

fed spotted

[azure remnant]

yes im a fed

[supple plume]

It's a linux one, submitted already

[azure remnant]

is it seasonal ?

wait its not available for players yet

the RFC phase

[west venture]

What's the process of making a machine?

[silver forge]

you tell claude what you want and BAM machine is ready

[hexed latch]

Yoo

[azure remnant]

i made some docker machines

in a clever way

[hexed latch]

After ai what should We learn now

[azure remnant]

the flag inside is encrypted

[hexed latch]

Should I learn rhe basics???

Or is it waste

Prompting will fix or replace

[azure remnant]

the only way to get the flag is to not bypass the entrypoint script and pass the password as the argument, in which you cant get interactively inside the machine

[west venture]

Imma submit one from VulnHub fr

[supple plume]

It's a bit tricky. First find an idea that is original for htb and it's realistic (meaning you could find it in a real app) then make it, put together a vm, ensure there is no unintended ways and make a writeup. They have some guidelines about how to make it.

[west venture]

Yes?

[west venture]

No like how do you submit it? Is it a VM?

[supple plume]

You put it in a zip file and give them a link

Something that can't be leaked easily

Or password protected

[west venture]

Should you script everything to start on boot?

Or nah

[supple plume]

The machine should be in a ready state I believe

I have made it so they only have to turn it on

I mean like saving it in the snapshot where is ready
