we discussed this, but im lost as how to set it up efficiently and i dont wanna tune and tweak myself but just take an existing efficient setup from da internet
did u install a vibe coding editor yet?
Will these levels affect the teams' rankings?
no
like an architect, a coder, a reviewer a tester... how do i define these ...
lets move it to dm pls
a man who spends all his time on setting up never sets up anything
pin htis
But how will I ever code if I haven't tried every single vim colorscheme and hating all of them first?
huh when did this change
Today
What about a woman?
Oh boi
but I want to be an elite hacker 
What is your rank now
prodigy level 80
That's a better rank lol
did the calculation change too
Claude has /agent and /skill where you can define simple skills up to whole prompts
Almost all content counts, including academy
is there a blog post or something
thanks
to answer your earlier question, maybe either apprentice/skilled for gif perms?
if we go by how it was before, then technically 'skilled' should start with gif perms since hacker was 2 levels above the base
Did u see mine
Why no announcement
thats a bit of a problem, yeah
ngl it really does feel like they downgraded you, but on the other hand its kinda good for beginners tho. Either way rank was never a real indicator like that
I like this system now
I over reacted lol
Oh
Can u show mine
Check and screenshot or something
I'm lazy π¦₯
Top 80.08% is my goal
Woah nice icon
Bloods will be resurfaced - it's already planned
It's probably faster to rank up now, if you're powering through academy though
I don't see it y'day or today
unless u did it with diff discord
Uh yeah
aight, what yall think bout the weekly box streak they added now, like the Academy one but for the boxes tho?
r u the one endingwith eww?
What will the new rank for embeds be?
look at badge you see on the account
that
maybe you can push it to 69 later when 67 gets archived as a meme
If they add any other xp sources, I will lose this, and have to shoot for 69
good move
in my case i rarely use academy.. so far
Hello eveyone! Is it me or new ranking system feels Easy? Because I was only hacker rank now I am in top rank Grandmaster will it continue or not?
we were just debating that lol
since I also imagine it's not a linear xp curve
Does it count retired and academy rooms as well?
Yes
yes

its not no
you can follow accounts now or was that always a thing?
let me get math sec
was a thing I believe
Well in that case, depending on how fast someone ranks in the early ranks, embed should be professional or master
Probably professional
adj_level = level - 1
exponent = 1.2 + (adj_level / 100) * 0.35
baseXP = 150
return math.floor(baseXP * (adj_level ** exponent))```
was a thing

Iβm a prodigy
Almost top
but u are grade 1
I know


106 is Grandmaster Grade 3
Will it contine or stops with 106 levl?
i mean, you'll keep ranking up
but thats the last "rank"
Tf is grade
grandmasters level up to infinity according to blog
It's for if you pass the test
A+
hacker++
sounds like an EC-council cert
recruiters are not gonna know what does it refere to

no recruiter is looking at your HTB rank lol
people fought hard for bloods they'll come after you with pitchforks
Putting this in my cv as profile pic what you guys think
THIS is an issue, for sure.
You can put it in a resume and like if your omnicient, your good and they know it
non ante, non nunc, nec postea
Nobody believes rank lol
gotta get to the top 1% in HTB before its resume worthy
no, you could be good at flag copy pasting for all they know
I would hire you
instantly
Retired machine / challenges make xp too ?
Just active stuff
No, retired too
Yeah true but not all challs are on internet
Youre not the only one 
yes
I bid higher, cant pass up a professional rank on HTB
nah use your discord pfp trust
Wait what?? Will retired content be free?
doing all those early insane boxes paid off
no...?
Then it's pay to win?
To win what? lol
why would it be
this is not competitive at all
Give xp, but not points i guess
Active content also gets a bonus multiplier in XP
If you're always doing active content, you will always be ahead.
Uhhh then what's the point in the new system then?
aint no way we're crying about p2w on fake internet points π
Idk maybe I'm missing something lol
what was the point of the old one 
True
low cost way to motivate users into investing more into the platform :p
sell XP at $2/level 
Embed perms! π₯
They'll still be gatekept!
like im p sure the consumer side of the platform is a loss lead so
its also cross-platform, so its a rank encompassing both Labs + Acad
gonna need a battle pass
makes sense, kinda neat for getting someone newer to the space hooked
BUY THE NEW SKIBIDI 67 BATTLE PASS FOR HTB SEASONS AND GET 1.000001x XP WHILST ITS GOING ON
(this is a joke)
πΈ
yeah, if its not for you you can just ignore it lol
points still exist
you forgot "not"
I mean maybe some new stuff other than AI or wifi would be nice π
we're not EA

the children yearn for the maldev
maldev is a weird space
now that, i would pick up in a second
waiting for the day HTB acquires maldev academy 
so many people are attracted to it yet its such a small portion of the real world
I need to learn how to fight with llvm and xwin tool chain stuff on Linux just to avoid touching windows for developmentπ₯
i mean you'd probably want to for debugging purposes
Also you can just use gcc mingw for most cases
Of course, just have a bunch of print statements π₯
Is there a max number of words in notes on HTB?
zzzzzz MADE IT THIS FAR
I can't seem to save my notes anymore
im moreso talking about the lack of correct emulation of many parts of windows
I get this error: "An error occurred while processing your note. Please try again later."
I had this yesterday aswell
contact support
i.e. if you wanted to use wine, PEB->Ldr->InMemoryOrderModuleList has different values to an actual windows host
so things like Api hashing can break if you aren't careful
Hmm. Mingw is nice but I think for stuff like messing with rpc functions you might need to use msvc? Idk I've been having problems with mingw for that stuff and been trying everything 
should be fine? I think it's mostly a preprocessor directive difference
msvc has a good few which aren't supported by other compilers, I think the same goes for macros of which use variadic arguments
I had wondered about this, as I'm writing my PEB/PE walker right now. I'm doing it all in a windows lab, but I had considered using wine.
It was stuff with like drsuapi or whatever it's called
the one that'll catch you out is kernel32.dll. On a windows host it's KERNEL32.DLL in the peb, but on wine its lowercase
if you make a case insensitive hash function you should be good?
Ah, my hash function already normalizes to lowercase.
ye should be okay then
I am worried about hash collision, but so far it isn't a problem.
Should be okay, you could write unit tests :p
Hmmm I should probably just include samba as a submodule or something to fix all this shit.

what?
Huh wh
is there a list of ranks ?
on that blog post that was just posted
Not yet - they're going to update the discord ranks lol
You a master now
Ive been bamboozled and hoodwinked
Gotta head to the post office bc apparently my order was marked for hold
.. it was just headphones... and was marked before any interaction from me to say hold it
Neat
Can anyone help me with the Dante Labs BOF? On 2.101
PingPong
bro is level 105 
Your level may be higher, but mine is 67, so your argument is invalid.
while they added the new xp/level system, is the old title (pro hacker , elite) will remain or they will be replaced
They'll remain, but they're talking about updating discord roles to the new system
That will cause a riot
Almost everyone who is active on the platform will be the same, or higher, than they used to be.
I like this system because it doesnt punish people who only do academy content
The only people who will downrank are people who rushed rank lol
But have you solved deez?
So htb selling rare candies to level up?
i am taking about the platform it self
Fuck you have
+2
Now you need an alt so that you never change
I don't like it when there's an update and people enjoy it
Where's drama
@rancid snow is also 67
πΏ 
You missed it by a few hrs
Oh
There was a ton of drama earlier lol
6οΈβ£ 7οΈβ£
π€·ββοΈ
If they add any more xp sources to the calculation, I'll have to shoot for 69
What if they make it 70
Just wait until someone doesn't like me logs on
I'm logged in
after all this hours playing cassiopeia mid im finally in π₯
It should merge sharelocks as well, so nobody is punished
Master of 69
But you aren't fun anymore
Cass can buy boots now, unplayable
They said it's planned. poor c1oud so low rank without it lol
hello chat
yes this is weird af
henlo
Can't ragebait mod, ik, the best pasttime
My rank is so low 
Why changed pfp
sherlock solvers when they see the update
Now i ihabe to imagine you as a girl
Have you tried imagining deez?
Master
HTB Master πͺ€
You are fitgirl REPACK ...
They miss spelled doggy π
your cert role will override the role anyway lol
i swear i saw the bike clearly once and not again
In order to get every answer wrong, you need to know all the right ones
Lmao π
Got called out π
You work for them secretly right 
hey what if I miss the streak? Do i get demoted from rank as well? also , do i actually need to streak
Haha probably I'll get CPTS results today too
I saw your notification
Cert role will need a new color, since they reused this color in the new ranks
Lmao
I need to lock in and get cpts... and a job
but still I CAN'T understand what I don't understand
What??
you know what i meant π
Where is my j*b
I have worked with xp system once
And tbh it's soo annoying to cater everyone lmao
There are known knowns, and known unknowns. There are also unknown unknowns.
yeahh
I have a tshirt meme with these character
what is the connection between streak and the xp
But it's boobies so no no for htb
I love Adventure Time
Especially the lesbian sentient bubble gum and the bisexual vampire
Streak is for those who got no life
no lies detected
challengers seems to get the same xp as the user flags
Steak hmmm
that sucks
I love how AT tackles different coming of age moments
π
so I can do a challenge and get the same xp without doing a machine . lol. worst dream I had
I don't have any 2 digit fav number to target π
/feedback I wanna cry again
Derp
Stop thinking about it
/feedback im never gonna dance again
Just enjoy the things u do there
-# like bin exploitation challenges which says easy and still take 4 days
so do challenges, if it means that much to you lol
the Master logo and the Prodigy logos are sick.. I should stop by there 
Do u have list

You ever play one of those games with a positive review thats like that?
really?
But hey, I'm going to get my first CVEs this year...
well, highest chatter I've seen so far
so... there's that
I'm lurking every profile who chats 
you didnt see Ap4sh
even my mouse is not mousing
@meager kernel
gold?

Who?
ap4sh is 111
Oh
still proud to have once been in the top 10
??
He is Fitgirl
i don't see my global ranking. π
level 60
Ah nice
yours?
Confirmed confirmed? Just waiting on vendor to drop it i assumd
nice
I've seen that spoon before
@obtuse fern I have several candidates submitted now
Why his bar is more full but still 111?
vro is in the matrix
That's progress to the next level
Maybe the update will motivate me to stop being a noob
Coinbase is getting sued
New York donβt let us have nothin
nice! any popular software?
so that doesnt increase the lvl?
not popular... but widely used
now i will say to all my LoL friends im GM and not them
lvl 15 slime
Only once it fills. The amount needed to level increases every level.
lvl judging
Bro hacked me darnit
nice
now make a box
with this CVE
They actually made it a game damn!
Nah. This CVE works only on Solaris lmfao
Or unless you're running an incredibly bizarre setup

Emma posted the XP curve calculation above somewhere, but yeah, it gets harder to level each level, so you need to do more and more content.
Thse go so hard rn
Hey
banger gg !
tyty
100m$ for that toy car π₯
next CAPE
Awesome
btw, its not critical for anyone wondering. CISA scored it wrong
ahh okay :c
im trying to get it corrected but its likely not gonna change :p
its more of medium-high
i have some CVEs this year idk if they are published, apache/imagemagick/jenkins/bind9
daamn, nice
nice men
apache is impressive
their code is pretty hardened iirc
Nice
What was kerberos one
ππ
cant say yet, its not published
openldap one is also not published yet
fix is likely gonna take a couple of months
they need to port everything for a new version release
I only have 1 active flag I spent all my knowledge on retired machines like a skid but I promise I didnβt use walkthroughs π
no tell tomorrow or i release it
Yeah
holy shit i'm a noob
I think the database is borked - it won't update for you lol

When hackthebox app coming out man I canβt keep zooming out on safari like this
mob boss meme stocks going way up
immich looking pretty nice for me rn
I ainβt tryna do a whole box on my phone Iβm just tryna browse the site π
Are you that goated you out here tip tapping your way to flags
I think golam is the lowest level mod
asomax irl lvl 99
Rats about to start a religion based off levels π
any infos about the new XP system? I don't get it
thanks a lot!
@raven rain Your profile is the only one that won't load the rank.
Bro must be too high for the system to calculate
Do private profiles show
they haven't publicly said this yet but there's a secret rank higher than grandmaster
super grandmaster
and i am a super grandmaster
Bro what is the serious rule break role you got π
no you mean legendary super grandmaster
she must be the marketing girl working at HTB
Everyone who has it is who gets pinged when people use it
no thats the second secret tier
smh
This is pretty cool
there's super grandmaster, super grandmaster 2, super grandmaster 3, legendary super grandmaster, super grandmaster god, super grandmaster god super grandmaster,
The only down side to the ranks for discord is that grandmaster role will look like white role
make it off white
which will look like unverified
or maybe a different color?
There is always a bigger fish π₯
can we see one π
i wouldnt mind the unverified shade of white if I get a cool logo next to it, to be fair
where is legendary godhacker super 9999 l33t grandmaster
they can make the role have gradient
Supersonic Legend when?
and then ultra instinct?
need all the chaos emeralds first
ultra instict is a mindset
Dude I was .45% away from hacker and you drop a whole new XP system??π€ͺ
I just wanna post cat pics bruh
The normal ranks are staying
I can evade EDR with ultra instinct without trying
it's listed as super grandmaster god super grandmaster
Are machines the only thing that help rank up or do Sherlockβs and challenges also? And now also academy progress apparently goes into your rank as well
professional will likely be the cutoff for embed lol
Sherlocks don't yet (c1oud in shambles), but challenges do
"Machines, Challenges, and HTB Academy Modules and Paths"
Probably
Ok coolio
Iβll check it later Iβm AFK
what are you gonna do for these
βThank Youβ
you are 59
Close
Vegeta is evil and not redeemed prove me wrong
Iβm not opening the at shi on my phone

Chat, my http payloadβs content length is 676
oh you don't see your active machine rank / content ownership on your profile anymore
Donβt listen to me im cooked at 9 am on a Wednesday
you will assimilate to the new ranks
Donβt tell me Iβll assimilate
and if you don't you will be eliminated like squid game

Someone needs to make a Sherlock about UUIDβs and call it Squuid Game

Hey
Actually, possibly nevermind? The site itself ain't loading. 
persistence achieves the goals
Your red name said adios
even on days that I hate I at least try to do 10-30min
While doing other stuff. That is if Iβm not actively in academy lol
Yall remember lizard squad taking down PlayStation and Xbox servers on Christmas in like 2013 or some shit π

Im gonna miss the secret omni chat
I mean they werent wrong to say tht
They launched 3000 malicious relays on tor the next day too
there is a secret omni chat?
Iβm cryin this history says they hacked Taylor swifts account

goated team
Imagine he is seeing this chat right now
its me !
that's exactly why I said "Supreme Leader Approves"
i don't want any beef with dear supreme leader
Unless you see something in the sky
It has not applied yet.
too slow to delete
this chat is north korean now
where can i check how much points i got after the new update?
in your labs profile
not difficult to found ...
where?
not the season points
points are nuked now
thisis the new thing now
crazy
You can check under your team profile members list still @hushed sapphire
But can't say how long points will stick around following the XP update.
I might have to do boxes again
https://github.com/KeygraphHQ/shannon
has anyone here used this?
Likely they will gradually disappear from the platform, as XP is further integrated.
That makes sense I think. Otherwise we end up with three different progress tracking methods.. π
We need ALL the progress tracking methods
gotta be more specific 
MOAR tracking methods
.
.
Anyone use this? Is it good? What can you do with it in Kali?
I like the unified method
well, if someone has achieved a certain level in the current ranking system, even if that goes away for leaderboards, I hope it remains linked to the profile in some way for historical accuracy
π
Correct chat
hehe
It doesnt punish people that only use academy
I've used it
Hey so when do I get to post Cat GIFs 
im in the setting up module for virtualization currently, i installed wsl and kali linux + parrotOS in oracle + windows dev in oracle + proxmox in oracle, im confused as in where i have to install all the stuff and especially the pika backup app, i can tell i have to install it in some linux but idk where, in parrotOS? or in kali linux from wsl
but not with Kali, but kali is just an MCP, so yes it's possible
Yeah, massive benefit there for sure
Damn proud of the team getting it shipped to production after so much work
πͺ
Get silver or hacker rank
or I guess "Skilled" now
but
lol
Nah I'll just wait for whenever the changes take place
for module help ask in #modules but for half the sections in the setting up module you don't have to follow it, it's just showing you your options. I'd just pick either kali or parrot (btw recommend kali in a VM rather than WSL) and just do as much as you can from that module there.
I'm like "Proffessional 3" now
Be more professional
alr ty
facts
I'm just skilled 
Me too
locking in as we speak π«‘
Y'all have like whole human beings to raise though
and also like the CTO
I've just not played content in aaages
This new system inflating my impostor syndrome... prodigy? I can barely read my own notes half the time 
Goal, get to rank 69
man i can't even do medium difficulty machines fml
Ask for help
and if the hints don't work
go study some
then try again
*with a caveat that it has to be 24 hours after the machine has been released*
maybe someone can help explain what you skills you should research to tackle whatever struggle
yeah that too^^
oh its in the server, got you, thanks
mhmhmhm
i see
It's easy to be misled by machine difficulties. Easy boxes aren't actually easy if you haven't developed a decent footing and got a bit of experience on Starting Point or other platforms.
yeah i also heard you can't find the answers to active machines on medium and online in general because its against the policies
After fixing my academy, i should be professional hopefully
Does anyone know how to use hackthebox credits to upgrade into a Vip+ plan?
i can "easily" do the easy boxes, its just the medium ones that are hard. in terms of footing for me, I do have networking fundementals and linux basics. recently got my comptia net+ πͺ
Their difficulty is in relation to number of steps to exploit
If you have credits on your payment account, they will automatically be deducted when making a purchase AFAIK
yeah true
so it's like a lot more enum
Its hard to generalize boxes based on their difficulty, there's a lot of medium boxes I'd put in easy, but there's also some (logging) I'd put in hard
or maybe some more tricky technical skills
I see. Thanks. Will give a try
Tend to be a case of "are you familiar with X technology or vuln class used in the box"
You can see your credit balance under https://app.hackthebox.com/account-settings?tab=billing
By that metric, an insane box could be easier than a medium if you've worked with it before
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
difficulty is subjective so the only objective measure they have is steps and complexity of exploitation
to be fair, I haven't done too many medium boxes so maybe im just not practicing enough
Maybe you just seeing the harder ones
yeah, I suppose
That's good. Medium boxes definitely tend to be a step up. I recall last Cube Talk IppSec said the CPTS material prepares you for Medium fairly well.
Consider this as well if you haven't seen it already:
Staying at rank 67 forever
Like this season quite a few of em are on the difficult side
oh I see, is that like a difficulty chart based on what characteristics the machines have?
Yes, pretty much. It's guidance for people submitting machines.
This season a couple of the mediums were rather difficult imo
there's seasons? π
im just a kid sorry if thats a dumb question
Also you can see how other users rated the machine difficulty which is more accurate
How old r u?
They have their parental/guardian consent signed
Damn... I feel so old now
ye
Oh you have -
To think you were born around 2010...

Good morning folks and non-folks

Prodigy lvl 90
one more level to get the grandmaster one
can someone explain the thought behind this?
/api/v4
/api/v5
/api/core/atlas
/api/experience/v1
god
is this from htb??

those were long retired before my time
When 3 different intern works from different timezones
guys im currently credential hunting with lasagna
Found any breaking change?
And i think api/v4 flag is redundant now
Anything submitted on api/v5 just works
I tested it once and it worked
Same for opposite too
correct v4/areana/own and v4/machine/own aren't needed anymore
Am I the only one who doesnβt like the new points system?? I donβt actually think itβs bad, and I like the look of it, plus I can now see more clearly when I move up a rank. But I think itβs completely unnecessary for the Academy to count towards it as well. Iβd prefer a return to the original system, or for the Academy to be left out
U aren't the only one :' (, even the new look is shitty :' )
i like it
but i use powertools(BotnetBuddies) for academy ui
imho new system doesn't show any ongoing value, sure it show's you've done a lot of stuff, but it doesn't mean you've been doing active stuff
its fun tho
Exactly. Besides, they havenβt made it clear whether the Hall of Fame will be affected in the future either. And with the Academy involved, the rankings are going to go haywire.
sure its cool looking but i have no idea what grandmaster lvl 110 means
They should auto ban at level 111
But they r keeping the old ranks as it is ryt? this xp shit is on top of tht
And make certificate invalid
those wonβt be affected
rankings will stay the same

The official statement suggests (or so I understand) that it does not have an impact at the moment, but that it will in the long term.
i dont get why i cant get an ip for release arena over web socket like i can for labs, but hey new xp level thing gets a web socket for instant dopamine hit on leveling

What you guys think about thiis? "Another important point is our knowledge level. Many people do not know their actual skill and knowledge level. This is a complicated topic because penetration testers must have a deep understanding of a wide variety of technologies. As previously mentioned, the problem in this field is the sheer volume of information available to us. We can learn about every topic and still not master any one area, or we can learn about just one topic and become an expert in it."
Based on you guys experience what is better?
Master one skill or learn about everything
For pentesting
iirc, everything will stay the same
XP just is an addon
fair
try things out and stick with what interests you, you'll retain it better
which one has better job opportunities?
you have to love it to explore it so
and how is competition in each field
look for job opportunities in your area
blue is generally easier for jr roles but like, if its boring to you in a lab, you'll hate the real world work

Well, time will tell. I know they wonβt be changing the seasons. But I wouldnβt be surprised to see a player ranked number one in the Hall of Fame just because theyβve completed all the modules at the Academy.
which job is more valued, recieves better pay, better longevity, and overall just superior for a successful career path standpoint
hello
true
both man lol
?
Either. The one you enjoy more to put more effort into
Black hat?
you're not wrong azo
πΌ
People need to stop focusing on what's "the best path" and just work toward something
decision paralysis is huge
this
or try both
and see what you like
its subjective and depends on so so many variables that noone can possibly answer it from just that question alone
so successfulness is scaled with how good you are at it basically
Well yeah
To be honest, I canβt afford to buy any modules because I donβt have the money. And I donβt think it would be fair to lose my place in the Hall of Fame and in the Spanish top 5.
if you're good at your job, you can be successful
It looks like Season 10 of Hack The Box is coming to an end. Iβve been working really hard to reach the Ruby rank. Iβm quite interested in the rewards, especially the $25 discount code and 150 cubes.
To the experienced players from previous seasons: can the discount code be used to get HTB VIP+? And is the reward provided as account credit or as a discount voucher at checkout?
depends how you define success but yeah
why my season rank is not updateddd
again, it all depends
i'm holo but it says i'm ruby rank here lol
if they haven't changed it again, it should be a voucher you apply on checkout
I think after the season endsβ¦
Unlink then link your account so it updates.
Oh, I thought it would be updated once I reached haha
No one can learn "everything". You can just learn enough to get comfortable with being flexible and build up enough general knowledge. This is not even limited to ITSec but also IT in general.

well! i had question now retried labs provide some xp in new xp system?
ye i too just noticed it
@scenic maple
any idea?
maybe a flaw?
nah nah u aware tht like on tue or somethign retired boxes are been released right?
like for free
for everyone
No that's not right
nope need vip+
snapped is free
to access that
and the points was 0 with a walkthrough 2 days ago
It's free. Some boxes are free until they are not.
Not every retired box is going to be free
it has abt 450 points nw
I just heard the news oh my..
they have a collection of free retired machines
and when a machine retires it's free for i think two weeks or something
hi mark

updating docs? i was doing the ai path for a moment

Nice working on security + right I got A+ N+ and Linux essentials
According to the guidelines, XP points are granted for active labs
For active its 1.3x multiplier
1.3x multiplier
oh
so 1x retired...?

retried
by design to boost retired content
active
should have mentioned it in the guidelines then(it was a wall of text so i just schemed thru it)
π€·
That happens yeah but I don't think that's the goal. Active gets an edge yes, but if you are trying to unify in Academy then it gets odd because it doesn't have the same "active"/"retried" classification. I would imagine prolabs could be part of this as well and that also could do odd things.
i see but i also really hoped tht sherlocks will get this too
