You are an explorer, and you represent our species, and the greatest good you can do is to bring back a new idea, because our world is endangered by the absence of good ideas. Our world is in crisis because of the absence of consciousness.

[worthy cargo]

It's clearly a crisis of two things: of consciousness and conditioning. We have the technological power, the engineering skills to save our planet, to cure disease, to feed the hungry, to end war; But we lack the intellectual vision, the ability to change our minds. We must decondition ourselves from 10,000 years of bad behavior. And, it's not easy.

Look into cancer research. Cancer cells still exhibit CB1 and CB2 genes. Cannabis targets them and the cell commits apoptosis and dies. Something like that anyway.

Research into the endocannabinoid system (ECS) and its role in oncology is a massive field of study.

[edgy jetty]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cute-cat-kitten-kitty-shy-gif-17733420

[worthy cargo]

In many types of cancer—including glioblastoma, breast, prostate, and lung cancer—the cells actually "overexpress" or have an unusually high number of CB1 and CB2 receptors compared to healthy cells.

When cannabinoids like THC or certain synthetic compounds bind to these receptors on a cancer cell, they can trigger apoptosis (programmed cell death).

pro tip: drinks at the casino bars tend to cost like $20-30 with tax+tip. But if you play $5 a hand blackjack you get free drinks during

[latent oak]

But I’m a chatty person

The drinks are free as long as you’re gambling… yep

[undone fossil]

yup, so long as you can handle your drink, good way to get it cheap

I asked for a double screwdriver, lady brings over a quad

great time

[latent oak]

Seriously? I can lose $30 at the blackjack table in 5 mins

[proper dragon]

for you they have an inflatable pool to hop in so you can absorb your liquor right

[latent oak]

So… not really free

[undone fossil]

Not free no, but again depends how you play

If you put $100 down, and can get ~4 drinks in that time, you save money even if you lose all of it

[latent oak]

I fucking hate gambling… I literally feel sick to my stomach when I lose money

[turbid goblet]

arnt slots cheaper

[undone fossil]

blackjack being a 49.5% odd game means you can often go for a few hours with just that 100

yeah but you get less traffic from the waiting staff

[turbid goblet]

ah

[latent oak]

Slots are cheaper, but good luck finding anyone to bring you a drink

[undone fossil]

mandatory "do not gamble" advice but yeah

[turbid goblet]

ill prob just buy a case and chill in my hotel at that rate

[undone fossil]

honestly dont blame you

[latent oak]

Best idea

[undone fossil]

we usually rent a suite and just stockpile a shit load of stuff from walmart

[latent oak]

Pre-drink

[undone fossil]

then just drink in the room

ctf there etc. invite people over

[latent oak]

Also, Vegas is terrible. I have no desire to go there… I will likely go to the next local security conference or B-sides

[undone fossil]

Yeah real

I go purely for the people. Otherwise i dunno

Went the first time to just do the mandatory vegas visit

Second time just hanging out with friends, unsure if I'll go again

[turbid goblet]

i went to my first bsides this week and it felt a bit uneventful

i only went to two talks and just sat outside doing the ctf lmao

thats prob my fault

[undone fossil]

I rarely go to talks, just chat shit with random people at the bar

its cool to be able to see someone at a bar and be like

$45 for a pi 5

[pale basin]

depends

[west venture]

And spend 48 hours reading it's datasheet

Which I did and was fun

[west venture]

I don't like to use the Arduino ide

[pale basin]

my arduino doesn't understand avr

also 328p should die at this point at least switch to the 32u4

[west venture]

Huh

It does uses arv

avr

[tough oyster]

Where have you been

You have been missed

[pale basin]

yes and no, the name Arduino is a blanket name for a large series of boards, not all of them using avr uCs

[pale basin]

mostly avoiding this place as it sucks 99% of the time

[pale basin]

most of mine are arm based rather than avr ones

I thought all of them use the same microprocessor, or at least something very similar. Just different hardware and sensors in built

nope! I encourage you to look up all the different models they released, different microcontrollers with varying features and pin counts and capabilities

[west venture]

Damn

[pale basin]

the Arduino world doesn't end on micros and unos

[undone fossil]

werks4me

[west venture]

Lol.imma check it out then

[pale basin]

which are like the lowest of low boards they have btw

[worthy cargo]

I keep getting a 500 server error

[west venture]

I have a nano 😭

[pale basin]

cheap but also super slow

ah yeah I meant nano, micro is a Leonardo but smaller (so a 32u4 based)

[west venture]

It's fun to tinker with them lol

[pale basin]

they are nice and quick to prototype with but ngl the pi picos are waaay superior imho

[tough oyster]

https://tenor.com/view/will-smith-teary-eyed-sad-the-pursuit-of-happyness-gif-14485222367965496601

[pale basin]

also very cheap but much more powerful

[pale basin]

for random prototyping I've pretty much exclusively switched to those

[west venture]

Yeah I'm planning to get a raspberry pi to create a router/firewall for my home network

[pale basin]

pico is a microcontroller board rather than a SBC like the rest of their boards

[west venture]

Oh okay

[austere sinew]

I condone this pls bully him

[pale basin]

pretty sure they are still running with the $4 price tag on official boards, clones cheaper ofc

[undone fossil]

finish bandit

[austere sinew]

You bitch

Im level 20

[west venture]

Yeah I'd need to get a more powerful board, so that I can run a linux kernel on it

[west venture]

$4 for a raspberry pi pico?

The Arduino clones are like $2

Pretty sure the originals are over $30

[pale basin]

for originals yeah, clones on Ali or whatever are cheaper

[pale basin]

correct

[austere sinew]

Wait a minute why are YOU still awake @undone fossil

[undone fossil]

because im interested in this chat

I know little about hardware

[latent oak]

I’m going to bed

[undone fossil]

and before that we were speaking about conferences so

[austere sinew]

Gngn

[latent oak]

10:40 local time

[pale basin]

I mean, a pi is kind of a meh choice for a router, only has one ethernet port and doesn't do any kind of offloading either so you're stuck with the kinda meh CPU to do all the work

[austere sinew]

Ooooh

[frigid mountain]

do you guys ever finish a project and you're like welll....wtf do I do now?

[undone fossil]

more features !

[proper dragon]

is it, eh?

[austere sinew]

That’s why you complete 80% then fuckenzie offenzie to another project

[undone fossil]

But yes. If I want to continue it I just run it by people like

[austere sinew]

Yay adhd!

[undone fossil]

"uh guys what do you think would be cool for this use case"

"remote debugging" "oh bet"

[undone fossil]

Also primarily this in my case

[austere sinew]

yay adhd!

[west venture]

Wait WTF? The pico has a dual core cpu I can do true multithreading on it for cheaper

[west venture]

I need it to be cheap lol

[austere sinew]

(Lowkey what I decided to do with bandit I get the idea now I dont wanna continue)

[pale basin]

yeah... it's a much more powerful uC than most of Arduino boards you get for cheap

[frigid mountain]

i will not buy ram I don't really need. I will not buy ram I don't really need. I will not buy ram I don't really need...

[austere sinew]

ok enough of this chat for the next few months, happy to talk more about hardware in DMs tomorrow

[frigid mountain]

BUT I WANT IT

[west venture]

🆗

[worthy cargo]

@undone fossil problem was my hosted page, it was doing an infinite redirect which I didn't realize. I got it now

[austere sinew]

This means yes more ram I believe

@frigid mountain buy the ram

[undone fossil]

riiip

[worthy cargo]

Don't waste your money right now

Pricing will come down eventually

Until then you have plenty of RAM

I have 64GB of DDR4

[austere sinew]

I saw a video of this girl doing one night stands and stealing the ram sticks of the guys and I felt inspired

[worthy cargo]

It's enough for me

I rarely go out of RAM unless I'm running like 1 dozen VMs

[frigid mountain]

i only have 32gb ddr4 and I want 32gb more

[undone fossil]

if i ever wake up to my RAM missing I know who to kill

[maiden anvil]

i am the neuromancer

time is in fact NOT money

if we assume time = money, the logic doesnt hold

you can potentially earn infinite money

but you cant live infinite time

so therefore time is a more scarce resource than money

[alpine pumice]

it's not time = money = your life

it's time = money

time is infinite

[maiden anvil]

but YOUR time is NOT

so YOUR time is more valuable than money

because it's more scarce

[austere sinew]

Technically

If you think about it

You can also have infinite time

[alpine pumice]

a lot more life than money

[austere sinew]

If you scale the time back

[alpine pumice]

there's an infinite amount of numbers between 1 and 2, therefore there's an infinite amount of time between 1 and two seconds

flawless logic

[austere sinew]

Fuck yeah

This is a beautiful night to have insomnia

[worthy cargo]

actually when it concerns time, it cannot be infinite between 1 and 2 seconds, since we hit the planck time limitation

[austere sinew]

Oh shit

Well then

If you also take into account the money

It cannot be infinite

Because

Of reserves

[maiden anvil]

that complicates things then

[proper dragon]

you must not be familiar with fractional reserve banking

[maiden anvil]

because if we have a finite-time and finite-money matrix

then we have been approaching it the completely wrong way

[austere sinew]

All I know about money is it buys sparkly things

[austere sinew]

👀 👀 👀

[rapid badger]

Just print more money.
ez

[maiden anvil]

but you cant print more time

[proper dragon]

by the transitive property, if we are able to produce infinite sparkly things, would there be infinite time?

[austere sinew]

Technically with medicine we acquire more time

[rapid badger]

Money equals time, therefore printing money is printing time

[worthy cargo]

Time isn'tt money

time is value

We associate everything in the monetary system

hey guys, just had some questions about HTB, and its CPE. is there some modules I have focus on so I can gain CPE? My CySA+ expires in July so I am trying to get some CPE

[analog perch]

I've just realised that my profile was not public

[obtuse fern]

note that (aside from tier 0) the difficulty classification is what determines the CPE value

thank you so much

[proper dragon]

thats a weird looking moth

[abstract grotto]

so if I do a tier 1 or a tier 4 hard, they are both worth 8?

[obtuse fern]

yes

tier != difficulty; it just denotes the presumed knowledge
tier 0: you just know how to power a computer
tier 1: you're comfortable with a linux/windows environment
tier 2: you've got some fundamental understanding
tier 3: more direct about specific things that you should already know about
tier 4: you're looking to master the topic

[abstract grotto]

alright I am just making sure since the websites says this

0

Fundamental Modules

2

Easy Modules

4

Medium Modules

6

Hard Modules

8

Certification Exams

40

[obtuse fern]

yeah there are tier 2 modules labeled hard, and also some labeled fundamental

there are currently 4 tier 2 modules tagged as hard. no modules below tier 2 have that tag though

I'm still amazed at the skill level thresholds. Just did the "Very Easy" NeoVault, was pretty complex

[warped plank]

What you may see as complex now, will pale in comparison to what you see in a week, in a month, in a year, if you keep at it.

[wanton kayak]

Hopefully. I am concerned that the easy ones are still quite "difficult" and I resort to looking up guides and walkthroughs, but then I'm going to exhaust all of the easy ones and then be left with the medium/hard ones which must be insane

[azure remnant]

HTB labs rly makes me a dump

[warped plank]

Well you're never going to run out of easy ones because people will keep making them and HTB will keep releasing them

Yes you might solve all the easy machines at a certain point in time, just wait a couple weeks you'll have another one

in the meantime go do challenges, or make other projects, you'll never really run out of things to explore in Cybersecurity

heck I'd recommend going back to stuff that you have finished and seeing if something you learned applies to it.

tbh ive thought similar, I wanna make one for a rpi or similar

just very minimal

Im just gonna make one that gets tossed into the bucket of ignored ones.

Pick up 'Operating Systems: Design and Implementation' by Andrew S. Tanenbaum

[frail turtle]

Like if im gonna make something i at least want to to blow up and become something people contribute to.

Hell no i hate that book

i have a confession to make .
I can actually make a kernel using PYTHON

I have a better one.

The LPI cert will cover those things. But if you want to go really hard a system programming book.

[runic marlin]

Not in extreme depth upto kernel levels, but I want to understand these topics properly so I don't want any certifications

any resource link?

linux is way less complex with its memory. It's great. No COM or Atom bs

[runic marlin]

this shi going over my head and making me question my choices ngl

[frail turtle]

The data structure for processes on linux i think is okay to work with.

But the file that handles all that is like 10000 lines

[terse dirge]

you asked for how it works at the kernel level and I sent you the docs for the kernel syscalls

[warped plank]

Yes but spawning processes from processes are weird, it literally just clones itself and relies on PID to change program logic

[runic marlin]

so in depth meant upto kernel level? I gotta save it for later then

only think I know till now is c and some basic linux ong 🫠

But if i end up writing a kernel Im going to blow it up and shove it everywhere

Probably create a new github replacement.

[warped plank]

Ever write a Windows DLL in Rust? it's basically writing in C but much harder cos you have to fight the borrow checker or wrap everything in unsafe

[frail turtle]

Thats exactly why i dont do that.

[runic marlin]

I think HTB linux module -> overthewire bandit -> networking -> web security is the path I might follow for now...

[warped plank]

I just chose violence I guess

[warped plank]

I'll believe it when I see it

[frail turtle]

And yes i know about what youre talking about exactly

I laughed at it two days ago when i learned about it.

[runic marlin]

erm what?

[warped plank]

Lot's of people come in here, saying what they gonna do, then I don't see em in the next week

[frail turtle]

I know Linus was probably rubbing his forehead for hours at rustaceans

Giving them funny looks and all

[runic marlin]

Nah I am actually gonna do it, because tomorrow I have a VERY IMPORTANT exam which kind of life-dead type but still I am here trying to understand file descriptors of htb linux module instead of studying 😇

[warped plank]

The usual tool I use is written in Go and apparently Go sucks at writing DLLs cos a single FreeLibrary(go.dll) will make it shit itself

[icy viper]

No exam is bigger than life, breeze through it

[frail turtle]

Oh idk about that.

[icy viper]

Not much of one if you're gonna be not here at the end of it

[runic marlin]

even though I know I gotta do the study, and its completely ok if I resume these after 2 months, but i still kind of obsessed with it

[frail turtle]

I think...there was a person here who got to actual green mod name in a year

Coming from absolute noob

Things are totally possible if you dedicate 6 hours to things daily

[jagged storm]

Rank doesn't have any relation to mod status

Marcie was still script kiddie lol

[runic marlin]

you guys have any idea on how do i stop myself obsessing with hacking and go and actually fukin study like god damn I know i am gonna get cooked if I don't start studying now 😢

[warped plank]

Really? Who?

[frail turtle]

You have to join the academy first

[frail turtle]

I think it was calculacore

[warped plank]

Marcie Been here forever before they became mod

[frail turtle]

Think. I dont actually know though

[warped plank]

nahh it has to have been @green kite cos it took calc at least a year to get CPTS and I'm pretty sure they got mod after that

[jagged storm]

Yeah, but the rank had nothing to do with getting mod status - it was the attention to the community

[frail turtle]

Thats like staring at food and asking how do I eat. Bro comeon man join the academy and start working on the modules go slow.

[warped plank]

Yeah I know

[jagged storm]

Didn't sparkling get CDSA before mod?

[warped plank]

Honestly idk I only been here less than 2 years

[runic marlin]

alr i am going to pull the plug off of the computer and start the damn study

[azure remnant]

Daym

[hearty birch]

The truth is... I want you to resist. I'm not here to save you. I'm not here to spread the greatness of the Viltrum Empire.

[azure remnant]

Lots of shit goinf on under the hood

[frail turtle]

Like back then it was harder because you had to break into HTB just to get in.

You still can do it btw

[jagged storm]

Except there were tons of videos and blogs telling you how. Ippsec even had a video for it lol

[green kite]

Not me, I got CWES, then CWEE then cpts

Had CWES, then became CC then mod

[warped plank]

and how long did that take?

[green kite]

Did what take exactly?

[warped plank]

from 0 in HTB to Mod

We gonna call it the HTB any% mod speedrun

[azure remnant]

I got the best join date here

[green kite]

No clue if rank matters, I just was active on discord a lot

[warped plank]

it doesn't, I was just basing it off my knowledge of when calc got the certs cos Ik calc got mod after

[azure remnant]

I could rickroll yall in my profile banner

[stone marsh]

Yapping is #1 way to modhood

[jagged storm]

It was probably calc I was thinking of who got CDSA before mod

[azure remnant]

My silent strategy

Oops i leaked it

[worthy cargo]

Good morning

[green kite]

I think so too

[frail turtle]

At this rate im gonna be like terry davis and make my own compiler just to make the OS. Tell people god made me do it.

[jagged storm]

It seems that way but you have to get CC before mod, so the real way is just being active in helping the community

[frail turtle]

I did that with my friend yesterday like i was at work and randomly thought that I gotta tell him that he should contribute to open source.

[green kite]

Yeah 🙂 CC’s get priority when they select new mods

[warped plank]

so why isn't @terse dirge CC/mod yet

[frail turtle]

I told him that idk why i told him that, but it was like god made me do it.

[jagged storm]

Implying god didn't inspire Terry to make HolyC

[azure remnant]

What is cc

[green kite]

Community contributor

[azure remnant]

Mhmmm

[frail turtle]

Nah i wouldnt make my own compiler i have a favorite language already

[azure remnant]

No yapper role ?

[jagged storm]

Ceald is quiet, compared to before. Barely shitposts, even

[frail turtle]

If i make a compiler it would be a hobby project not an actual tool

[azure remnant]

I can barely use a compiler

[frail turtle]

👀

[azure remnant]

Had to google a lot to make a static binary
