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..

I started back in like highschool but stopped for a while so I can focus on passing highschool but I was mainly learning Linux

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

alrighty so im making a network traffic visualisation tool

and you can upload pcap files and scrub timeline

When dev and ops were separate, we had this problem

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

I don't want to explain it to you more but it is Saturday

bronze lion

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 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?

no what OS are you in?

frail turtle
#

exactly its not an OS

fringe viper
#

compiling the kernel

azure remnant
#

Prob kali or kubuntu

remote bolt
#

its like antix core

frail turtle
#

it's literally kernel + some filesystem

fringe viper
remote bolt
#

no u stole that image from google images

frail turtle

  • basic GNU utils in said filesystem

lol

fringe viper
#

wait multiplayer ssh??

bronze lion
frail turtle
#

no there is no ssh

fringe viper
#

damn

frail turtle
#

ssh is

#

a separate package

#

you need to install it via some package manager or whatever

fringe viper
#

yoo multiplayer ssh would be cool tho.split screen terminal

sour valve
#

ssh to bring back couch coop

fringe viper
#

frrr

#

are there alternatives to using kitty+tmux+fish?because thats what i run

bronze lion
#

hallicon for sure is typing a thesis right now

azure remnant
#

Somebody will pull up an ssh 0day to break out to the host os

frail turtle
#

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....

azure remnant
#

I want to get into embed system hacking so bad

frail turtle
#

Realistically I just wanted to touch kernel development

Got my dog scheduled for our first swim at the dog pool on Wednesday next week πŸ˜„

#

It's gonna be fun. She's a Lab. Loves the water.

frail turtle
#

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

fringe viper
frail turtle
#

that...is a really good question, and I'm glad you asked

frigid mountain

pr training

fringe viper
frail turtle
#

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

weeeel;ll

#

i like touching userland

#

bonk with stick

frail turtle
# fringe viper yeah. but lets say you made an OS (hypothetical) ,what would be different about ...

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 .

dusky jacinth
#

get rce

frail turtle
#

initramfs is supposed to be like a temporary place

#

then your root partition is mounted into it, then pid 1 executes typically with systemd

fringe viper
frail turtle
#

right like a starter for a car

thick forge
#

gentelmans i gonna pay nitro

#

powers gonna back

fringe viper
frail turtle
#

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?

worthy cargo
frail turtle
#

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

frigid mountain

#

bruh how do I get libvertd installed and running on my machine πŸ™

frigid mountain
#

Bout to go to lunch and get that Chinese food pepega

#

and pick up some eye drops sus

frail turtle
#

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.

#

What’s everyone’s preference on laptops with numpad vs no numpad?

frail turtle
#

also initramfs loads modules into the kernel using modprobe as well.

#

right now i don't have modprobe

#

i think

rancid totem
frail turtle
#

oh i do nvm

rancid totem

-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

it's where you act as a mitm right?

oh no you take their request to login and then relay that to the server making them think it's you

molten bobcat

But yes, typically I am responsible for defending the network and endpoints, so that's all devices on the network and the network itself

frail turtle

i think you use respondr for it no?

i'd stay x86_64 as preference

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

The only time you should look at your neighbors plate is to make sure they got enough to eat.

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

ocean marsh
#

hard topic you didnt put enough time in cysec yet

#

dw

#

what do you want to achieve in cysec?

lofty marsh
#

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...

ocean marsh
#

yeah I feel you

proper dragon
ocean marsh
#

I burned out at least 2 times last year

lofty marsh
#

Basically... attack hackers : P

ocean marsh
#

then invest time in things that will get you there

lofty marsh
#

Or OSCP/CPTS style...

ocean marsh
#

it will feel easier over time

lofty marsh
#

Something in between..

#

Basically no I want a lot of things kek

#

Attack hackers, become pentester and create malware

#

All at once

ocean marsh
#

I would start with CPTS and stuff

#

its a great start

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..
