This is my second year studying security
ad is what hackers use to own companies
how long have you been studying ceald
@ocean marsh are there any companies which are ethical, dont exploit their workers and consumers, and like.....
Dont have connections to "those" people in the US government if you know what I mean
I don't wanna own companies
AD is the biggest bullshit Microsoft did to get hackers inside of Enterprises
it's job security sir
i am new so i will just read chat
idk what you mean, but I dont have a job to know all that
Too long. I should really switch to botany
I purposefully refuse to learn active directory.
ewww
i get trauma
gl girl
i do maths
Yeah but every update, every patch is still getting hacked and it gets more complicated and complex by the time, like it's hard to learn Cybersecurity 2x then learning in 2015 but still..
thats all i know
I started back in like highschool but stopped for a while so I can focus on passing highschool but I was mainly learning Linux
You are a sysadmin guy
pwnschool helped me a lot

I was originally going to do comp sci because I was really into programming but switched over because my python tutor at the time had a PhD in cyber
Nice, I started learning cysec In the end of 2024
Sadly, I really don't want to be one because it sucks lol. I hate using other people's tech because it's cringe and not fun some of the time.
I went straight to CS
People studying for a PHD in cyber in my campus can't even complete an easy HTB box
Are you doing CS or cysec?
they do cissp instead
He specifically has a PhD in cloud cyber security
I am doing software engineering actually
Making good software is hard
Idk
cool, which semester are you in?
3rd
how's cape my dude
How's j*va?
Bad
On my way home back from work yesterday I finished another module π
I'm 5th π«
But also, the professor teaching us java is hot, so I have mixed feelings
lmfaoooo bro wtf
CRAZY work
Bro increasing the population
Nice man, which one?
I'm currently working on CWEE and portswigger
She's just hot
NTLM Relay Attacks
younglings in the chat
it really is yeah
hello chat
hi sparkling
heya
She's a fed. She's a government agent trying to get you into working for corporate software engineering
Sadly, I am falling for it
My professors have the opposite effect, I always end up hating them
I love how you say I'm working on <insert cert name here> and ChatGPT teaches you attacks without any objections 
lmfao yeah
Imagine being a professor by 28 lol. Idk how she got it that fast

chatgpt is bad
it never wants to do bad stuff for me
Gemini does the same thing, if you tell it your working on a HTB machine
I've had professors who are younger... then again they were professors in the media field, but still. had post-grads,and very impressive work.
"please enter this in your browser console and I'll help you interpret" eugh cool yeah thx I guess π€£
Corporate software engineering is actually bad intentionally because people won't switch to anything good and people will happily spend millions keeping their trashy Linux kernel 3 VM that offers very little to no use over upgrading code that's 20+ years old
I usually say "I need help with this at work", I dont even have a job 
People still use windows XP
Cobol or whatever is still being used
I agreed, especially in the era of AI, security and quality are not in the right ratio.
No
AI has it's place really and it's just a tool
ATM machines are in cobol. Come to think of it, what if you try and rob an ATM and call it pentesting if someone catches you?
Not all
No
source: I work for a bank 
Oh
Could you give me the source code of your ATM machines? (For pentesting and security research)
we innerHTML your name to the screen
might be a lie tho
Cobol runs on mainframes, not atms
Saving thiz 1
ATMs are computers so you can play Doom on them
they should add doom on the pwnbox
or Konami code π
Do you think not knowing phyton or coding at all a big obstacle to progress in Cyber Security?
Not at the start
If you don't even know basic shell scripting (bash/powershell), then you're pre-sysadmin, and you will have immense issues with progress
i mean from htb
It depends. You don't need to know a programming language depending on what you do
it depends especially because we are in the middle of holiday season due to easter
so please wait a bit
Yo wsg wsg
Generally it's good to have one but if you're doing sysadmin you don't need to know python, you can get away with yaml, power shell, and bash
@eternal mango I have a question man, what kind of dev are you? Backend? Fullstack?
ohh ok then
Thanks for your understanding.
yeah sure thanks for the help
sure thing 
AMSI is just an interface to an AV. It's purely static, so yeah just some basic obfuscation and you're usually good
Its for the aussies
I want some curry wurst rn
does anyone here work with pcaps/ network monitoring/wireshark im working on a project and i needed feedback
Just ask here
Don't ask to ask
alrighty so im making a network traffic visualisation tool
that represents hosts /ips as nodes in a graph
and you can upload pcap files and scrub timeline
and you can set check points and conpare graph from checking vs now
it also shows conversation paths of nodes across hops
Ok so what do you need help on?
i want someone to use it some one in the computer networks sector and tell me how i can make their job easier
i am having a hard time tackling this issue version `GLIBC_2.33' not found when i compile for my attack box is there any article to where i can research about it?
Stuff like that already exists man.
Idk what to tell ya
You're sorta learning why devops is a thing. You should know the problem you're trying to solve, in a project
oh i didnt know do you have examples?
When dev and ops were separate, we had this problem
Suricata + the elk stack, arkime.
You don't need to do a network graph specifically for that stuff because you can just use elastic queries to get nearly the same information
@terse dirge just to be clear by graphs i mean the data structure
halo
wsp everyone
hellooo
Yeah just google it and then StackOverFlow.
I'm saying you don't need a network graph to effectively read/analyze network traffic. Elastic has querying for doing that.
Also you haven't tell us the environment that you got the error.
yeah I'm learning it case by case that's how I remember some coding
yeah im just making a system where if good enough it becomes a need ,i just need to know what it is
You can also do network graphs in elastic https://www.elastic.co/docs/explore-analyze/visualize/graph
i compiled a exploit.c file it with gcc for a sudo exploit but the target having issue with the glib
Compile static
Glibc is backwards compatible, but NOT forwards compatible.
damn i didnt know that.
use gcc exploit.c -o exploit -static
Don't dynamically compile it
but some complex exploits still might throw out some errors
especially those using dlopen
or specific headers
in your case it'll just work fine.
yeah go is the best way !!
i definitely heard Compile static for the first time i will go ahead and try the method thank you all
Cross compilation is just so easy
With your 20mb static overhead
Who cares it's fast enough
Good morning. I slept for like 3.5 hours and then woke up
or 4 hours I don't know
I'm exhausted
Do the new box
I wanna send a gif 
So get embed perms 
yeah school version of it
My employer announced 10% across-the-board layoffs π
Got me worried, need to re-visit HTB and OffSec
(I currently do Operations / Systems / Software Engineering)
What new box. Today isn't Saturday
it's almost like these employers ain't human or something
replacing the workforce with ai
Just in time to get involve a career. I'm very positive to learn now
or Is that all a country issue?
No it isn't
Someone made a good point on the Slack chat: "Doesn't AI cost a lot to run? Aren't all these AI companies currently operating in huge losses?". Didn't get addressed, but yeah AI companies are just going to pump up the price in a couple of years, and it will be cheaper to have humans
But I need to pivot into OffSec / DevSecOps for in case I'm part of the 10% made redundant
It's a year away in any case
Cheaper doesn't necessarily mean time efficient and more productive
I think when they look at the distant future , AI might have been cheaper in their eyes
I'm not sure , it's just my guess
just sit back and enjoy watching the world burn
My employer has always just cut costs now even if it bites us later, because we need to balance the budget
We sold all our buildings a few years ago and now we perpetually rent them
We had to stop renting one as we can't afford it
And why have u not resigned yet?
They pay top market rate
Damn
They pay top market rate but still don't have the money to take office space for rent?
Yeah, who knows what the execs are doing, I think they just have to look busy
Reorganise stuff for the sake of it
Let's hope it doesn't affect the employees in the future
Oh snap where my unemployment gang at
I just joined y'all
whatttup whattuuuuuuup
here
Hey twin
hiya
How's the new challenege coming along
yeah that's what I thought
Iβm working on it
jkjk
Yes it is
We are literally in the same timezone
Are u tht heavy?
Did ur mass curve the space time near u?
No
Oh now u edited to Saturday from Tuesday?
Quantum superposition?
Are you near an abnormally dense object?
U mean his cat?
Homies got the neutron star in his pocket
I don't think he has one
I didn't edit anything lol
I obv can't see the (edited)
I don't want to explain it to you more but it is Saturday
Ok I believe u
Not exactly
The idea that 'today is This day' is an illusion of human perception. In the reality of a four.dimensional Block Universe, time doesn't flow. The coordinates in spacetime corresponding to 'Saturday' are just as physically real and currently valid as the coordinates for whatever day it is for you. So I am in Saturday 11th Apr. This specific area has always been around a week behind from earth time.

I've got a meeting soon. Can't wait to have some guy try and turn my job into even more of a circus :D
πͺ
My neighbors are detonating very loud fireworks close to my back yard and my pets are stressed out. I have take care of business
I will be back to finish the conversation
do you guys know where to make and how to make a good Curriculum Vitae?
Use my software!
Wouldn't say I'm an expert, but can lend a few pointers if you'd like
I just wrote mine in google docs

always fun
Incredible how quickly microsoft fucked their reputation of good engineering
I love microsoft, they be making so many vulnerable devices
Go back like 5 years and you'd think working at microsoft as an engineer was like
Prestigious almost
Now its just "damn im sorry"

I am; ur mom
Hey i need a couple of web app testers specifically in the computer network domain to test my open source tool.
huh
You paying?
no sorry
You don't need a couple of web app testers
You need to just post the link and let us degenerates have at it
I'm not doing a code review
That's it
I'll test out a live app though
yeah thats cool
It works on local right?
yup
havent tested it with windows or linux tho
any tips i started using vmware linux mint with 0 knowledgeπ
Yeah, ditch vmware and go with virtualbox! π
why
Because I said so!
oh ok
but vm slow tho
Otherwise you might cause problems.
so ima switch virtual lol
but thats how i learnt
yeah id like to be familliar with it first
i had to factory reset my mac like 9 times
you test the app out?
I don't have the mental capacity right now
Just listening to music. I have to go back to sleep too
okk my bad
get some sleep then
im just passionate about building shit
been thinking about adding netflow import

what are you trying to say?
LoL
oh
lol never heard that before in my life
me neither
me neither lol
must be a generation thing
nc -lvnp
whats
Where's the port?
Ye surrreee.....
Out of 65535 it will take the port u assigned
π€£
Edited (3x)

annoying network enginner is out today. Lesss gooo
And he uses -lvnp, even tho tht too is correct but doesn't everyone use -lnvp
Weird taste
Hi
tastes weird
How do u use it?
who? i need to speak to him
Vern. It's a woman. Dumb name. Annoying face. Obnoxious voice. 0/10.
That's a very unique name tho
whats the @
Short for Veronica. Stupid.
i am doing the network enumeration with nmap module. Trying to solve the "Nmap Scripting Engine". The question at the end is: Use NSE and its scripts to find the flag that one of the services contain and submit it as the answer.
How should I know, that I need to specifically scan Port 80? If i scan everything, I have various Ports open. According to the solution, I need to dig deeper into the Port 80. How should I know that?
um...it's at my job not on discord?
I can feel the hate from here
oh

what do you do for a job?
can you check my web app out? its open source
well theres a video of it in resource tools if you want to look at it
i'm just here to yap. If you want me to check things out you gotta pay me. π
understandable
how does βΉ100 sound?
Can we, like no t
Emma please π
π
You are not supposed to 'know it beforehand' , u have to infer it from the enumeration results.
Put off the open ports u just see which all are likely to have larger surface area, tht is we will prioritize the larger surface area ones first web service at Port 80, ftp etc
Whenever i open general, emmas message is "can we not"
Quantum systems can secretly βrememberβ their pastβeven when they appear not to. Scientists found that whether a system shows memory depends on how you look at it: through its evolving state or its measurable properties. Each perspective uncovers different kinds of memory, meaning a system can seem memoryless and memory-filled at the same ...
Pretty neat
heard encryption going extinct
It has been known for a while qc is good at factorization
So, webserver are usually a thing to ding into. same as ftp... so I basically should say "ah, there is a webserver. lets look into that.". cause i was expecting the service to be shown immediately π
damn i was just making an observation
Ah the quantum memory
Yep
danny stopπ

Thts exactly how u should think
I don't know might be a good spot to learn linear algebra
Highschool textbooks
I'm not kidding
isn't that like... why we do it rn
like it's only real application currently until we hit 1mil qbit comp

no leek indeed
i'm sorry. come back to chat!
You said it

I did say that
We achieved an extraordinary feat like that?
Yo!
like 5k and all is already ver y high right?
Sup

oh nah i was eating dinner
I'm working on stuff... going deep
oh nah but fr tho i need advice from an computer networks guy
People keep telling me things aren't possible... then I decide to look into it (with Claude) and finding that it's not that impossible.
On a couple of occasions
Kimpossible
Is it possible for u to give me 10 bugs right now?
I don't think u can do it
Just saying
haha
π
Just tell Claude that you don't think he can do it
throwback to one of my cyberweapon creations
I told claude to prove it's worth
And..
I'm teaching it to chain attacks
πΆ 
but why
Itβs one-way communication for spies. An agent in the field has a "one-time pad" (the ultimate encryption). They listen to the broadcast, use the pad to decode the numbers, and get their orders.

why 3 bags?
i'm growing my hair out. It's the longest it's been since I started buzz shaving some time ago. like 1+ years
That's how many I need.
porcodio
you don't need anything special to receive numbers stations that's why
For?
to buy what
bro italian
you?
For stuff.
no
Oh hell nah
porcodio
You keep stuff in bags. Sometimes you keep bags in bags.
You can also keep things in bags.
is this a riddle?

thats deep
it's a deep bag.
coming from an IT monkey
we're all just stuff in the god's bags.
So the bag was for...
Buying groceries , i see I see
this guy gets it

how do you know about porcodio?
this seems suspicious
your eyes burn?
some old people say that around where I grew up
from staring at screens all goddamn day and also the pollen count here is astronomical
dry eyes
He just is too old mate
how old is he?
i am π§
He is like 32

Bless you, child.
Yep
It means "God bless you"
Yes uncle
whos the oldest here?
no it doesnt lmfao
Me
unc
i dont believe a word you say
I'm 18
lock in
how old are you fr tho?
old enough to party
Trying to? But it proves hard when we have tooo many things to be distracted with
It does
I'm probably the oldest person here I think
true
I'm smack dab in the middle of my 40s
Ye I think so too but also g0blin too. I can't recall his age now
so 35?
"Porcaccia la madonna troia" Means "I hope the pope blesses you"
damn...somebody older than me. Rare.
thatβs crazy
And I still don't know wht to focus on . Just a shit bag right now
DAYUM
Damn
what do you do for work?
I don't have a job.
Eggzy is a freelance baller
I used to make software
same, I'm focusing on web
but I dont like web
damn
anything youβre proud of?
My wife said we have to be a two income household to survive in this day and age. I told her she better get a 2nd job. 
Then why waste time on it? U can move on after u have the basic foundation on tht topic
Lots
top 5
Wht a good question
I can't discuss them.
I lied. I have no wife.
Bc its my weak point
I can however discuss my personal projects
Im a vrchat bar bouncer and im proud of that
But it's boring stuff.
please go ahead
you have me interested
https://gitlab.com/Eggzy You can check my repos here

Wht abt RE then?
It's my weakest
i know nothing about re
I know very little abt it
: (
i know about reee
U at ur work right now?
yes
i have a love hate relationship with re
And u are gonna sleep?
I have no relation with it at all, then literally spit at my face and run away when I try to talk to them
its aight
Here u are mostly gonna get fired if they see u nap during working hours for consecutive 2 or 3 days
I'm only joking
Nobody sees me
Ah
I'm like a nap ninja
Cam?
when i worked factory i saw ppl sleep at night shift
not sure if i can ask this, attempting a exam, for some reason lab is not deploying, tried already 4 times.
no
some people like to get money from ppl that actually work
Thnk god
Only support can help

nobody cares
I just hide behind these.
I do

I forgot the quote
facebook took all photos from uploaded by users, and used it for Ai
Ah ic
facebook?
Not only facebook
that's just good strategy
yes and ppl didnt know u could dont accept
if you put anything on the web it becomes public domain imo
Good methodology to have fs
that's why i never upload pics of myself
Also the news that pokemon go used the data from the camera we used to create a 3d model of the world.( Both inside ur house and the outside too has been Collected)

Even if Facebook doesn't use it the Feds do.

ur smartphone is always watching u through selfie camera and always tracking ur location
i have webcamcover

U got me laughing irl, now I'm a creep who is laughing in a public park
Cause Iβm not a mod
why would a creep laugh at a public park
Idk the mood seems like a creeps time
It's 8:40 pm here no one's in the park and I'm laughing like a creep
how is it a park if its private
i know where you live
Bro that park is soooooooooo private
i think thats more crazy then creepy
β
I'm homeless
OSINT alert
Why do u think I'm sitting in the park at this time
because you are a creep
π€«
fact check status: true im watching him drink
lol nah we in the same time zone
Being homeless means you just get to play life like an open world
Don't spit out facts like that bro
north or south india?
South
Itβs 5.13 PM here
are you a vigilante?
I have said it before in the general chat.
Time to waste ur time
No
hy is nl
Bro i obviously wasnt there at the timeπ
3 or 4days ago
ooh shit that insane box is gonna be good
nvm lol
HOLY SHIT BALLS i just did the coolest fucking thing
i compiled a linux kernel and then created my own little filesystem and had the kernel load into it
W0W
Shit is too confusing to even read bruh
what are going to call it?
I'm trying to learn how to work with the kernel for kernel dev
gnl
gnl not linux
nice, create sockets now
it looks like this
GNU not uinux
GNU/linux
W0W U 4R3 R00T
Gentoo ?
no
terminal looks familiar
its nothing
what os is that
its not an os
So like a container
no what OS are you in?
exactly its not an OS
compiling the kernel
Prob kali or kubuntu
its like antix core
it's literally kernel + some filesystem
ahhh okk
no u stole that image from google images
- basic GNU utils in said filesystem
is that why theres no users directory
that's basically jesus

thats so cool,proud of you
you got ssh on there?
open it to the internet and let us all ssh to it

let me see
lol
YES
wait multiplayer ssh??
u sure u wanna try it?
no there is no ssh
damn
ssh is
a separate package
you need to install it via some package manager or whatever
yoo multiplayer ssh would be cool tho.split screen terminal
ssh to bring back couch coop
hallicon for sure is typing a thesis right now
Somebody will pull up an ssh 0day to break out to the host os
when I compiled the kernel though i compiled it specifically to work with kvm's but like ........... the way the linux foundation wants you to do it is by using a whole system, but we doing this the new generation way without one because systems introduce their own things into it....
I want to get into embed system hacking so bad
there is no OS
Realistically I just wanted to touch kernel development
Got my dog scheduled for our first swim at the dog pool on Wednesday next week π
It's gonna be fun. She's a Lab. Loves the water.
the next step is to make a driver and load it into the kernel
the driver is just supposed to print hello world
...i think
if you were making your own os what would be different about it?
i use teh expression all the time
pr training
whats the answer
so right now if i execute ps all you see are kernel threads...plus the first sh run for the shell. technically im executing it from busybox but i will fix that later so it just uses sh.
An OS would have a real init program like Open-RC to handle service creation, a bunch of other executables as well
i mean i asked chatgpt and it said I would have to make my own kernel from scratch basically.
yeah. but lets say you made an OS (hypothetical) ,what would be different about it?
all i know is dont touch the userland
I think i know how to answer this using the stuff i learned from the LPI cert material. Basically what you're looking at right now is initramfs.... or my implementation of it. it is the filesystem that gets loaded first before your service manager is loaded. What happens normally in a linux distro is that the root partition (typically on /dev/sda2) is mounted onto initramfs via some mount point, then rooted into it .
get rce
initramfs is supposed to be like a temporary place
then your root partition is mounted into it, then pid 1 executes typically with systemd
ah like the starter motor for the engine
right like a starter for a car
why is initrmfs temporary?
You know, that is another really good question, why bother using initramfs in the first place, like why not just put everything the system needs in initramfs?

Did you guys know that flat earthers still exist? It's crazy, right? Despite the "community" being in shambles after the Antarctica trip, all your favorite douchebags like Eric Dubay, David Weiss, and Mark Sargent are still grifting their faces off. The rec...
........I dont know....yet.
i mean chatgpt says drivers may not be fully loaded during this time, technically that doesn't make sense to me
I couldn't tell you honestly. maybe I'll find out later
Last time I got tattooed, my tatooer was a Flat Earther. We talked about conspiracy theories the whole day.
bruh how do I get libvertd installed and running on my machine π
so far all I know is that one reason which is a good one as to why go through initramfs first is because your root partition for your system could be encrypted
also your root partition could be in a different network location.
Whatβs everyoneβs preference on laptops with numpad vs no numpad?
also initramfs loads modules into the kernel using modprobe as well.
right now i don't have modprobe
i think
with numpad because screen size goes bigger
oh i do nvm
-15 inch doesn't have numpad
ive seen most laptops under 15 dont have a numpad my other argument is rj45 port very hard to find that as well
b2c graveyardaaS idea: members only graveyard - βwe just dont take any bodiesβ
Whatβs the possible impact if I can only coerce DC workstation to perform SMB relay attack but not LDAP relay
What is a DC workstation
Domain controller
what does being a blue teamer entail?
How are you coercing the domain controller into performing a MITM
I'm confused lol
Anyone use macOS for their OffSec work? I'm wondering about getting a MacBook Neo
Digital forensics and incident response
my macbook is nothing but glorified Netflix bootloader I use in bed 
but I got my first CVE on a mac
wait so blue teamers defend against all types? like network and software?
dont get a neo
i forgot how to do an smb relay attack its been a long time
any other mac is fine
Why not a Neo?
its an iphone 16 chip
get even an m3
Iβm not exactly sure, but I believe so
M3 is double the price though
Define network and software haha
oh no you take their request to login and then relay that to the server making them think it's you
But yes, typically I am responsible for defending the network and endpoints, so that's all devices on the network and the network itself
i think you use respondr for it no?
i'd stay x86_64 as preference
some noob does an nmap scan on yall public ips
I'm gonna hold your hand while I say this
could be better
could be a porsche
thats cool ,how many ips do you think your network has?
But the nature of the internet is inherently hostile. All public IP addresses are being constantly scanned and exploited automatically by thousands on thousands of bots.
Uh, I protect a large number of global clients
god i havent done this shit in a while
I have no clue 
I really should go back to it one day
most wanted m3 is better as that guy Baron had no chance π
ah ah like a freelance bodyguard
Not really I am a soc analyst
I think there is a way to use either one
They hire an organization to assign analysts like myself to monitor environments and investigate
but yeah, impacket is used more
soc analyst? theyre pretty straightforward no? just put them on your feet before your shoes/sandals?
god this talk feels delicious.
which level?
yeah you SEIM jockies
I am a tier 2
GUI cowboys
I'm working towards my tier 3 promotion
yall be using wireshark?
Most of my response actions are actually CLI
No, nothing I do has required Wireshark yet lol
when at your job ,what are you looking at? on the screens?
im tryna get inside your mind
Check logs
And I run queries against their environment to pull information from a database
Ingest
information related to an app?
Common queries I use are "last 24 hours of process history"
"All authentications"
"Windows run keys"
"Windows scheduled tasks"
oh shit systems
Information related to the computer itself
Wsg wsg
damnnn
thatβs cool
I stop hackers, basically
It's my job to determine how access was gained, what was done while access was had, and what needs to be done to remediate the issues and prevent it from happening again
always stop the hackers, keep the hackers out, prevent a hackers compromise
how did to get into the industry
I studied my ass off
you got a job after college?
I actually didn't use letsdefend
I didn't go to college until I was 22
i donβt even like blue teaming
I don't like red teaming
Well that's one way to do it now since htb and letsdefend are one haha
It's convenient now
I have my OSCP and discovered I dislike it all lol
nah iβm just asking how you got a job in soc
I applied after studying for a really long time
makes me feel better about my situation
how study
going back to college at 21
I also have multiple certs and experience in the IT field
I did college from my dad's attic as a grown man lmao
Everyone's journey is different
C1oud, what resources did you use to OSCP?
What offsec provided
how long/hours etc?
Dude the thing with studying while being on a discord server full of hackers.. I feel like it's logical to be motivated by it but I feel so competitive that I see "hacker" and "pro hacker" and I feel behind and unmotivated.. lol
3 months
Idk if its just me
the expectation that as soon as u turn 18 u gotta move out is kinda fucked especially in this economic situation
full time, like 8 hours a day??
i had a job before earning $300 a week, albeit part time
i worked 4 days a week
corporate
Part time I had a job while studying for it
Focus on the system and the goal will accomplish itself
I don't recommend going for it, it's really really expensive for the content offered
I literally can only understand cyber sec from the red team perspective
I mean yee but the thing is that I feel very behind when I see pro hackers and shit.. I feel behind rather than brough up.. its something psychological for me
Iunno the blue team perspective made more sense to me
otherwise its like putting on a hat and pretending you understand why you didn't get cancer from the sun
sht analogy but still
Idk what are your thoughts @molten bobcat ?
take embarassing photos of yourself and all the cringe you can collect and put it in a folder on your pc
blue team perspective unlocked
There's different kinds of people all over the world friend
Some of them are bound to be a few steps ahead of you
But it's the same path

I mean yee everyone was at one point where I am right now
dont let other's people's success be your demoralization
terrible way to live, deciding not to live cause others are enjoying their path
But my toxic mind tells me that I study for 2 months SERIOUSLY, dont have any progress since Im a slow learner on this field and that I dont deserve it... idk man
I feel like Im wrong but not right either
The only time you should look at your neighbors plate is to make sure they got enough to eat.
Yeah that's true
dinkleberg
I mean let me say that in software engineering I am killing it in college, even top of my class and shit so I know CS is MY field... but with cybersecurity it's so complex, I didnt borrow the right mindset and things like that and I'm lost
Its so different from coding
even tho they both are computers
hard topic you didnt put enough time in cysec yet
dw
what do you want to achieve in cysec?
I studies cybersec so hard 1 month ago that I got burnt out from college AND cyber as well... and it was a BAD burnout...
yeah I feel you
cyber requires knowledge and understanding of a broader computing landscape that is inclusive of programming
I burned out at least 2 times last year
I mean.. idk if its possible but I wanna be a red hat
Basically... attack hackers : P
then invest time in things that will get you there
Or OSCP/CPTS style...
it will feel easier over time
Something in between..
Basically no I want a lot of things 
Attack hackers, become pentester and create malware
All at once
hi ritro
My honest opinion is just do what seems fun. You'll likely hop around a lot, and that's fine
Progress is rarely linear
"hop around a bit" 
frog reference
agree with this, fun makes it worth living
I've always seen cybersecurity as fun but nowdays it feels like a chore more than a hobby/upcoming career
Idk how to change it
People tend to miss the journey when focusing on end goals
retro will spend his whole life planning how to start in cyber
Then maybe try something else, security builds off of understanding of how other processes work
Bro facts 
If I went to a cybersec college I am self aware enough to say that I would be a pro hacker now and not a noob π₯
But I am self taught and lost
I find course materials insanely boring. So I tend to just jump to the practical.
- If I get stuck? Use materials as reference
- Did I succeed? Okay look at the materials, was their solution better practice? okay cool ill try that next time
Same can be applied to almost any area
You're right..
