Who needs stealth just base64 encode, gzip, and then have it dump the decoded command directly in the command line so analysts don't have to decode it anymore 🙂

Don’t waste time looking for CVE bugs

Hey everyone,

Any general advice on transitioning from web dev into cybersecurity in a way that keeps as much skill transfer as possible? Also curious which career paths in cyber you’d recommend I explore first. Thanks in advance.

There were several periods of time where he would just get shit on for basically no reason (people were upset about his OSINT challenges).

If you understand PHP, check this out. I wrote a book publishing software in PHP command line. It's a MIT licensed gitbook alternative. Even if not you can publish books in PDF, EPUB, and HTML for web.

After returning to my GitBook projects years later, I found that the old gitbook-cli had become unreliable — it broke formatting, messed up page numbers, and generally no longer worked with my existing Markdown sources. Since no open-source alternative respected my structure, I built my own workflow in PHP.

Ah how would you do this on Linux is profile named different or are custom commands stored differently?

The only reason to use powershell on Linux is if you need to run some attack script, and really don't want to have a Windows vm. That or if you just really really love objects, since everything ever is an object in powershell

Never used it

Looks pretty cool honestly

jagged storm
#

You having problems with tools?

hoary dawn

Is there any way I can just manually download those packages and use them

eternal mango

Just use dd

#

Ventoy etc is only for other stuff like multiple boot options

#

..and a GUI

#

Otherwise it's just dd

hoary dawn
#

Doesn’t like flash it properly I guess I swear either that or I’m just configuring boot options wrong but I changed the boot device to the usb and the boot order to start with the usb both

jagged storm
#

What are you trying to boot to?

hoary dawn
#

Just tryna get to windows, from parrot os

#

Windows iso is on the usb just ain’t like getting put on there properly I guess I don’t know what the deal is

Well give Ventoy a go, maybe I'm mistaken with Windows, but I'm sure it's worked in the past for me

eternal mango

...has been quite some time since I reformatted mind lol

#

Last PC died 2 years ago, and this one is still chugging along fine

So yeah, give Ventoy a try, can't hurt

You don't just copy the ISO to the USB

everyone always talks about dopamine with ADHD, but i recommend people also look up the neural pathways Default Mode Network and Task Positive Network. In computer terms, its like a higher layer of abstraction

worthy cargo

I can't stand chrome cuz of one row

#

#

I use TabMixPlus on FF

glad mauve
#

long story short, normally, the Default Mode Network is the parts of your brain active when you're not really doing anything. When you get engaged with something, it becomes less active, and the Task Positive Network becomes more active. With ADHD, the DMN doesn't quiet down, so all the things that the DMN is responsible for, keep happening.

Things like... scanning your environment for things to do, thinking about the past, creative thoughts, daydreaming, rumination

worthy cargo
#

Well, it doesn't really work on FF. I use WF

glad mauve
#

some of the "rejection sensitivity" is due to the overactive DMN, for example.

Hey yall so this isn’t HTB related but I thought it would be a good place to ask, I recently visited my grandparents and noticed they have an android TV streaming box. Right off the bad I could tell something was off with it and would like to poke around a bit.

What would be the best means of starting, I was thinking of spinning up a VM with wireshark and using it to monitor traffic to and from the box for starts

i think that is a good spot to start

you could also look up the device model and see if anyone else has tried to reverse it or enumerate it at all
