[frigid mountain]

I have 4 headsets. I have AIAIAI TMA-2 for DJing and auditing mixes. I have Bose QuietComfort 35 for casual listening. beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO for plugging into my guitar amp. and my gaming headset which is Corsair.

[frigid mountain]

those look good

[obtuse fern]

i just needed a wired set bc i was getting annoyed with BT stuff and the occasional time when for some fuckin reason one of the earbuds didn't charge right

[frigid mountain]

yeah all mine except the Bose are wired

I got the Bose for free from a job I worked at in 2017. I have new earpads coming tomorrow. They're still going strong other than earpads wearing out a couple times in nearly 10 years.

Spent the last 5 hours refactoring 3 functions

[alpine nimbus]

Welcome, cyber

[rancid totem]

I just closed my netcat interpreter by accident

fuck

[jagged storm]

Use a shell handler

Like pwncat-cs

[rancid totem]

no i literally broke the machine by the accident

i'm stupid

[alpine nimbus]

Broke it?

[rancid totem]

and I renamed the Update Agent

so it's not getting updated and I cant hijack

xD

It's like closing the door after going outside and there is no way to get in

[latent oak]

you locked yourself out?

[rancid totem]

yeah

I was trying to do Binary Hijack

and accidentally did ctrl+z after renaming the Update Agent

xD

normally it updates every 3 min

it's 21:12 rn

[summer urchin]

Oh, my bad. Just saw "interview"

All good, the us gov ain’t gonna ghost me lol

[rancid totem]

[jagged storm]

This one carried me though CPTS

[alpine nimbus]

@rancid totem , I'm concerned about you and have a question.

Have you really been in Visual Studio for 8.5 hours straight?? Are you ok??

[rancid totem]

thanks!

[rancid totem]

Well I'm taking notes with VS aside, like keywords that I learn

I don't code in VS

[alpine nimbus]

Ah ok

[rancid totem]

it's smth like "day 26 - i study until i land as a purple-teamer"

but actually I know I'm on day 556, I just started this series 26 days ago xD

[signal apex]

does anybody know a good and up to date mobile app pentesting course with certificate? INE eMAPT looks good but i think its a bit outdated

[rancid totem]

@jagged storm I'm stuck on dependency hell with this pwncat-cs, it says pkg_resources missing if I use setuptoolsv82> and distutils missing if I use setuptools82<, how did you managed to setup this

[jagged storm]

Did you install with pip?

[rancid totem]

Yes, in virtual environment

[latent oak]

Did you install with pep?

With gusto?

[jagged storm]

I don't recall having any issues

[tough oyster]

INE shit is always outdated

[rancid totem]

[latent oak]

I’m tired…

[jagged storm]

When you installed, did you use pwncat-cs? There is another project named pwncat

[sick portal]

Anyone new like me? D:

[rancid totem]

Well the other simple tool pwncat is installed also

on the system

[jagged storm]

It worked perfectly for me, and it was a great shell handler.

[rancid totem]

alright just fixed it

using the setuptools v69

xd

modern pip works like shit

[jagged storm]

It can accept basically any type of shell, and it will use that shell to run a new shell, on a new port, so it won't hold up the port

Full ctrl+c and everything on Linux shells, but I don't think windows has it yet

[lime trout]

this is giving me a terrible idea for an HTB Machine

lmao

[rancid totem]

Can't wait to see it!!

It looks great, it even has --recon flag to not close with Ctrl+C

it's a great flag for stupids like me, who accidentally close interpreters

[jagged storm]

No tty fixes on crap shells, either - it automatically upgrades them

[sick portal]

Can someone guide me on how to learn from scratch? I'm a hands-on learner, which is why I'm here trying to learn on HTB, but I've noticed some modules are outdated. Where should I start?

[latent oak]

Start with the 20 year old modules on overthewire.org

[west lynx]

Get Started with the HTB Beginners Bible: https://www.hackthebox.com/blog/learn-to-hack-beginners-bible

[latent oak]

They’ll teach you a lot about Linux

[jagged storm]

None of the modules are outdated in the way you think.

[latent oak]

Commandline-fu is a fundamental skill

[jagged storm]

Follow the link above and go ham

[sick portal]

Yes, I understand. Some modules are still active because they're part of the "Base" or something like that. So, do I start all those modules?

[jagged storm]

Yes, even though modules cover old content, you'll be learning concepts/theories

They will be universal

[sick portal]

Bet, thanks!!

IDK if anyone here has done something similar in the cyberspace

[latent oak]

Eh?

Training program interview?

[hoary dawn]

What is everyone doing on this fine evening

[latent oak]

Like for an internship?

Filing another 2 CVE requests

[dusky jacinth]

It's this company looking for people (in cyber), and it's kinda like an internship. Except if I were to get hired for what I have applied for I would be brought on as a W2 employee and they would just train me.

then I'd be contracted to a partnered company or the one I applied for

If that makes sense

[latent oak]

I don’t know what W2 means

[dusky jacinth]

It's a type of employee contract in the states

[latent oak]

Ah

[dusky jacinth]

idk if it exists in other parts of the world

basically a salary employee contract

[latent oak]

We have part-time and full-time

[dusky jacinth]

we do to

I'm learning things everyday about internet and I've realised that I have full fibre box on my wall and using old contract (partial fibre). Thank god my contract is ending soon and got aware of the legal scam.

They are still troubleshooting speed and sending engineer

[alpine nimbus]

Its hardware not just troubleshooting

FTTN is like 90% copper and 10% fiber

FTTH is 100% fiber

So they can only fix the speed by changing your entire cable

[jagged storm]

https://tenor.com/view/aa-aaa-aah-scream-screaming-cat-gif-693344121160663519

[analog perch]

yeah but I have the box right? so Does it mean I have a full fibre but not from the provider side

[terse dirge]

me last night

[alpine nimbus]

The box is the box. That wont tell you about your cable

[analog perch]

I hope they do and I will get out of the contract really fast after

[alpine nimbus]

Im assuming you're not Canadian?

oh evil bong, it was horrible 🔥

didnt you watch a movie last night

[ocean marsh]

lmfao

I watched "bring her back" this weekend

[alpine nimbus]

Do you know what I mean by FTTN VS FTTH or no?

[latent oak]

This summer I’ll be able to VPN to my homelab

[analog perch]

yes I checked that

[terse dirge]

I really wanna see midsommar, it seems like it would be a good movie to watch while high

[ocean marsh]

Not a big fan of midsommar

[alpine nimbus]

Start a cult

[analog perch]

Engineer needs to give it a go

[ocean marsh]

I think its super overrated

[alpine nimbus]

The box wont change your cable though

The same router can work for both, FTTN & FTTH

[terse dirge]

ooo, it's on tubi and has a bad rating. Maybe I'll watch it

[analog perch]

so which cable are we talking about? Don't tell me it is the ethernet that supposed to be cat6 or cat5

[jagged storm]

You have that backwards

I wasnt saying a movie? 🤔 😆

Disable scan port

[dusky jacinth]

No, it's illegal

[turbid goblet]

what lol

reread the module

[random aurora]

Disable scanning ports

[jagged storm]

Bro isn't reading

[dusky jacinth]

you can run nmap --help btw

[random aurora]

I'm mean
-sn sorry I maxed the cards

Mixed

[dusky jacinth]

even better nmap --help | grep <whatever>

[ocean marsh]

imagine scanning ports

[dusky jacinth]

I hate having information

hate it

get rid of it

[alpine nimbus]

Something to do with hosts...

[dusky jacinth]

get it out of my brain

[jagged storm]

Because you might just want to run scripts

[random aurora]

-sn this is disable ports right?

[turbid goblet]

it doesnt disable them

[ocean marsh]

never enumerate
just copy and paste the commands on your notes

[turbid goblet]

just doesnt return port information

[ocean marsh]

if it doesnt work, say its too hard and give up

[random aurora]

What the command that disable port scanning?

[terse dirge]

does it say that in the documentation?

[jagged storm]

I worked with a guy who did this with router commands

30mbs

I'm on a wireless mesh network and get better download speeds vro 💀

Haven't studied AD in few days, alot of college backlog

I wanna study maldev but I cant because I'm way too busy with college

I feel you

[meager kernel]

Im also doing a bug bounty with a college senior

[alpine nimbus]

You can change provider. Im just saying that it wont change the copper cable

[analog perch]

They told me previously engineer will come but nobody came and advisor told me there is nothing to do from engineer side

[meager kernel]

So yea

[jagged storm]

As long as you have copper the last portion, it's not going to change

[meager kernel]

Shit is hard

I should go to the gym

[analog perch]

copper cable you mean outside of the building or something I can get?

Guys -Ss

Nmap -sS ip

[turbid goblet]

can i see

[alpine nimbus]

Look. You got a cable running from your ISP, all the way to your house. All the way, that cable is fiber except for that last 500ft, is copper. A bit better than FTTN but still not pure

[meager kernel]

Why are you asking?
Just search my name

[random aurora]

its fine if I asked what the matter type of question is

[turbid goblet]

oh duh nvm

[alpine nimbus]

To give you a different cable or dig up your yard for it, yes

Damn you do alot of prolabs

Get the fiber to an ONT in your garage

[alpine nimbus]

You know what make me sad I learned little and I feel I want play more

[analog perch]

It has super heavy weather so may be infrastructure is expensive

[ocean marsh]

what?

[alpine nimbus]

We got an oligopoly of 3 companies that run everything and have our politicians in their pocket. So they can charge whatever they want and thus; Canada is #1 for most expensive consumer telecom cost in the world 🌎

[latent oak]

There’s only 2 options for high speed in most of the country

[jagged storm]

Start a new isp

[alpine nimbus]

Well 3 but Bell and Telus share

[latent oak]

I’d have to lease the fiber from one of the monopolies

[analog perch]

Not so different story from all around the world but yeah 80 bucks sish air money

[alpine nimbus]

Thats before tax

[latent oak]

I can’t get telus fiber here… it’s rogers or bell

[alpine nimbus]

Yeah, Telus is more Western. So that tells me that you're Eastern

Okay guys sorry for noise 🤍

[turbid goblet]

i havent even done a hard yet

[dusky jacinth]

me neither heh

[latent oak]

But beginners won’t be hired for the stealth missions

[random aurora]

Its depends on permission on company thats right but I'm talking about the vendors who presents the bug hunting for example like hacker1ne or intergrity

[latent oak]

Still, if they are offering a bounty, they are giving permission… but still there are parameters

[alpine nimbus]

Don't take this the wrong way but how are you going to do full reports if you cant even PWN a box?

[latent oak]

They don’t want you DDOSing their SaaS

[alpine nimbus]

Lots of work to do, my friend

[latent oak]

The coolest thing is to make an exploit. But you can do a lot on your local machine

[random aurora]

great question if u have mindset and practice machines solving boxes u will arrive to ur goal cpts or bug hunting or hiring in company but should great cert like oscp

[turbid goblet]

are u a bot

[latent oak]

lol

Bots have better spelling… usually

[random aurora]

[alpine nimbus]

So work on that new HTB title

[alpine nimbus]

After that we can talk about double agent international spy

That's the mindset you'll need

Okay lets have the example here if your computer where shutdown and its not working before going to maintence check the plug is conncted or not or check the power button is on or off

[alpine nimbus]

You know the train problem
if you have 3 people on A railroad
And one of the right one person and you have one lever u would pass railroad on the right person one or the three people what I will do here this is soultion I will shout for them to go away from rail road or I can do the lever up and down it will be the train get out of the rail road
Cause the train useually is one ahead way on the railroad but its not in right or left so if you do this it will crash the train and help these people

[turbid goblet]

i should do academy too tbh but boxes are more fun

I agree but right now Im pwning boxes like its russian roulette; Try everything and hope for the best. (Seriously though I still try to google but hey)

If they smarten up I can maybe unignore… but it turns out that people I decide to ignore generally flame out here anyway

[turbid goblet]

thats the fun of genchat

True… but sometimes it’s a bit much… couple of weeks ago it was some gym bro talking supplements

[latent oak]

Yeah

Going to clean up and go to bed

[alpine nimbus]

Night, bro

[maiden anvil]

got skunked fishing so im here

[maiden anvil]

Real

[gilded lotus]

I have a question for the high level hackers. Do you automate any of your attack paths? Like if you see something familiar, Do you have a prebuilt script to finish the attack chain?

[maiden anvil]

finish, no
triage, yes

the faster you are at triage the faster you are vs bounty hunters and vuln researchers

finishing the attack chain only matters if you intend to use it

like red team/adv sim

or if you're a bad guy

or if you have a feisty manager that likes to ask what the customer impact is

[gilded lotus]

I mean more like. If you get local admin on a box you chained together. Mimikatz, rubeus, Other automation tools together. To download file back to yourself things of that nature.

[maiden anvil]

1. there are too many opsec failures in this specific path you have highlighted
   2] again this only matters in scenarios you need to actually use the full chain, but I will recontextualize for scenarios you're familiar with
2. automation in the context you're raising makes sense for C2 and infra deployment i.e. deploy teamserver through ansible, automate certs with letsencrypt script chains, things like this

if you automate a bunch of tool calls you will be picked up by EDR immediately

Im certain of it unless your target is just now figuring out how sysmon works

so theres situations where it makes sense to automate inb4 redirectors, infra, certs, etc

but there are situations where it causes more trouble than it solves i.e. tool usage, payload templates, etc.

[alpine nimbus]

Huh so I dont need to worry about being too poor for that Claude Code agent then

[maiden anvil]

when it comes to ops, no

when it comes to triage, yes

more agents = faster triage with more scale

[alpine nimbus]

Yeah, I can see the recon being cool to get in full but if in real life you just trigger EDR then its pointless to go that route lol

[maiden anvil]

YMMV

[muted olive]

Dropping those tools on disk would get you flagged on every security monitoring solution they have in a real engagement

So bad idea

[gilded lotus]

I try to live off the land as much as I can. But Morph was right.

A cunning strategy!

Wait no

What's the oppsite of cunning?

What is wrong with academy ui anyway?

[west venture]

Y'all are dumb as hell

[wispy flower]

Hi

[tough oyster]

I trolled everyone here

[west venture]

[azure remnant]

Everything

[tough oyster]

I LOVE IT

except the part of finding content

[azure remnant]

Bruh 🥀

Minimum HTB academy dashboard requirements:

Rtx 3050 8GB

Also the lesson looks bad now

Narrow text and text contrast from those eye clinics to test for color blindness

It is a big factor of my progress slowing down

[tough oyster]

My team has created a tool to help with academy issues

Browser extension

[azure remnant]

I made one too

[heady sage]

does your team consist of stevie wonder, stephen hawking, and hellen keller perhaps?

[azure remnant]

But come on it was an unnesscary move

If the code works dont fix it

[azure remnant]

Team members:🤕 👽 👾 🥸

[tough oyster]

Shots being fired 👀 . @rose onyx what you say to that? 😂

[azure remnant]

I'd use microsoft edge dashboard over tbe htb ones

I bet u cant even find a place to view modules

U have to search for a small view all button under the whole academy.hackthebox domain

[ocean marsh]

massive skill issue

[azure remnant]

Bro do i dont need to hack my way into the lesson right

[rose onyx]

Yes, Hellen Keller.

[azure remnant]

It must be easy

I need an nmap scan to find the module im looking for

[ocean marsh]

massive skill issue²

[azure remnant]

No u just want to be a mod

[rose onyx]

Code was EOL, so yeah something needed to happen.

[azure remnant]

We should add a module for "academy information gathering"

[ocean marsh]

if you're saying that the new UI is slowing down your progress

I have bad news

[azure remnant]

Maybe i was exaggerating about this a bit

Without the extension i made it was going to slow down yeah

[ocean marsh]

I do think that the text contrast could be a little better, but overall the new interface is good

[ocean marsh]

lmao

[rose onyx]

if you get really up in there and snip out the api calls, like flat kill them for favorites/inprogress/popular modules it's pretty zippy loading the dashboard, but then the dashboard isn't much of a dashboard

[azure remnant]

Ill made a TUI for academy

At least the text contrast is good there

[ocean marsh]

https://giphy.com/gifs/rgull1t-m35CT1UeZY2S9UpEQc

Wooooooooo

[rose onyx]

there's a reason why i went with a user script. idgaf what anyone says, accordions are ass, especially auto collapsing ones. nothing like a shit time with context dissapearing while you're clicking arround

Can we please hold liberals to the same standard as conservatives when it comes to political discussion?

[willow storm]

Like when it comes to not talking politics

[willow storm]

@lime trout may i DM?

[heady sage]

okay liberal

[gaunt gale]

I’m not liberal

But whatever

[azure remnant]

Comon bro we make jokes about europe the whole day

[gaunt gale]

Ya but the joke was a racist political joke if you ask any conservative ever

Like its too politically charged

[azure remnant]

W/e

[gaunt gale]

No one makes fun of palestine including me

If you can make racist jokes about Jews then I can make racist jokes about black people and Muslims or else this is clearly a double standard

[static pasture]

Or how about we dont make any jokes about any races, religious backgrounds, or ethnicities?

[gaunt gale]

Well ya but @heady sage just broke that rule

She posted an anti Israel meme

[heady sage]

what meme?

[rose onyx]

I dont think falcon was pointing fingers, more of a lets move along...

[azure remnant]

I do sometimes

[gaunt gale]

You deleted it but it shows a meme with hades pointing to an israeli flag and saying “Israel’s that way”

[azure remnant]

Every nation has some strange culture that we can joke off

Of course, we respect everyone too

[azure remnant]

I need to listen to this

[muted olive]

kinda contradictory

[ocean marsh]

this server has some crazy shit

always

[ocean marsh]

hru bro

[gaunt gale]

Well ok but @heady sage basically deleted the meme she posted so she couldn’t be held accountable for it

Which is cowardice

[static pasture]

I can see deleted posts. Im not going after anyone at this point. Just stating to move on from the topic at hand.

[gaunt gale]

Ok fine

just write a script to close them all, problem solved

what we do is CTEM and I get to test lots and lots of exploits against our environment and sit in meetings with SOC just so I can make less and less friends at work

shit nvm, keep at it 🫡

[austere sigil]

how about you? doing anything interesting?

[rose onyx]

atm no, focusing on personal stuff

[fickle kernel]

You realize at some point that 99% of CVEs are not worth the effort to fix tbfr

[austere sigil]

amen to that

[tough oyster]

That i wish i was doing

Sounds interesting

[austere sigil]

propose CTEM at work and see where it takes you

it's a huge eye opener for everyone

especially in large environments where you have 1000s of servers

[rancid snow]

The vast majority of CVE's either require such a niche situation or only provides such a minor gain for the attacker that most of them arent worth exploiting either

Very random question but how often do employees have to talk in staff meetings? Or is it mainly just listening to the higher-roled employees?

[austere sigil]

also running vulnerable version is just a start

[normal forge]

depends on the compay
if you are in startup you are the one talking
if you are in MNC, depends on the number of people in meeting

[icy viper]

What if it's a bigger but domestic company?

[normal forge]

depends on your goal
if you want to talk you can but just beware in most such situations it will lead to you having more responsibility and if your management is toxic then that would mean no change in your role but more responsibility

but if it's something like review meeting then you should talk

[pseudo hound]

if your management is toxic

9 out of 10

[normal forge]

in review meeting show off more than you did

[icy viper]

I'm not much of a talker, the only reason I'm asking. I realise communication is a big key of IT, been trying to work on it.

My certificate I'm working on is currently all about that so it's helping

[icy viper]

How do you reply to a certain part of a message on discord?

[normal forge]

ohh
then you should talk, but the first thing that should matter to you is networking
like try networking with higher ups
but only take more responsibility if it's necessary for your ''promotion''

It’s not about size tbh. I have a senior position where I sometimes spend 50% of my day in meetings, then as a freelancer I only have 90 mins over the week for status updates which is usually done in 60’mins over the week

a certain part of a message

Like that

[icy viper]

Should talk but not much of a talker lol. I'm not good in crowds, particularly when those crowds involve people I don't know

[fickle kernel]

You should be comfy talking, security is one of those careers where you will need to communicate security risks and vulns to stakeholders in one way or another

[icy viper]

Exactly ahha

[fickle kernel]

You can practice that, but it’s part of the job

[icy viper]

Yeah if it's only that much over a week I could probably handle that lol

[icy viper]

Talking to stakeholders gonna be a big thing for me

Always been very quiet

[fickle kernel]

Pentesting/appsec maybe you dont need to talk too much coz you create findings and leave it up to the teams to fix it, but there can still be follow up questions when a finding comes back, then as a reporter you have to present it

[icy viper]

I mean i'm not in IT yet so I'm gonna try for service desk first but I want to eventually get to security analyst

Say I'm not much of a talker but I work retail but you're basically talking from an inner script.

[austere sigil]

talking is part of day-to-day life as a security professional

days of "let me hide in a basement" are over

[normal forge]

well most of my meeting experience is from a SDE job and we had this one thing that if we suggested some idea then we would be responsible for it's development alongside our regular job related work
so we would generally try not to

I really need to learn all the discord commands

@austere sigil Is it normal I can't react with emojis to text? Someone once told me to leave-enter the server I've done it but it still doesn't fix that

[austere sigil]
