angular sandbox bypass, I think

I've tried everything I know so far

Been on it for about a day now

[alpine nimbus]

Might explain my rank but I tend to find info and articles online for things

[upbeat tangle]

@tawdry sorrel look at that certified pen tester!

[jagged storm]

Dune

[worthy cargo]

Dragonlance Chronicles

The Shannara Trilogy

Based books.

[slim topaz]

yeah no problem

[tawdry sorrel]

[alpine nimbus]

Congrats on the cert, man!

[slim topaz]

guys i meant IT / cyber books

[upbeat tangle]

you should have seen the working process he spent last week, he was late nights up, early mornings up. even at work

[slim topaz]

my plan is to read these 10 by the end of the year

Serious Cryptography 2nd Ed — Jean-Philippe Aumasson
Practical Cryptography in Python — Nielson & Monson (Apress)
The Hidden Potential of DNS in Security — Joshua M. Kuo & Ross Gibson
PowerShell for Sysadmins — Adam Bertram
Black Hat Python — Justin Seitz
Black Hat Bash — Bash Scripting for Hackers and Pentesters
The TCP/IP Guide — Charles M. Kozierok
How Linux Works 2nd Ed — Brian Ward
The Linux Command Line 2nd Ed — William Shotts
Linux Basics for Hackers — OccupyTheWeb

[lapis apex]

u wont read any of those

because you will get bored out of your mind

[undone fossil]

tbh i just read blog posts and documentation

rarely needed much else

[lapis apex]

yeah thats much better

[slim topaz]

i've read CCNA - CCNP Encor books with over 3500 pages 😢 don't think it will get more boring that this

[slim topaz]

saw many recommend Black hat python ,Black Hat bash , TCP/IP guide

[lapis apex]

those books are all bs.
if you want to start with linux, go to linuxjourney site.
for the rest, do htb and other type of labs

[mystic harbor]

Spy the lie

[slim topaz]

i finished RHCSA

[upbeat tangle]

Dont talk shit on physical books

[slim topaz]

reading books is really good

try reading SEC301 by SANS

[undone fossil]

Well its not "books suck", but those books are very dry

[slim topaz]

that's why i asked for opinions

[undone fossil]

Unlikely to retain the info

[upbeat tangle]

There is a special pleasure in relaxing on the sofa reading a book, AWAY FROM A COMPUTER SCREEN

[lapis apex]

if u want to learn to drive a car, do you go and read 2000 pages on car driving???

[slim topaz]

it's not about the books , it's the way you read the books

if you write blogs about it or make projects about sections you'll def retain the information

[lapis apex]

nothing against artistic literature, but reading books to learn pentesting or anything tech related, is counter intuitive to put it lightly

[slim topaz]

everyone learns in a different way ...

practice will only get you so far

[upbeat tangle]

Enjoy the books brother, i read them too

[lapis apex]

ok man, good luck

[alpine nimbus]

Respect your elders. Skid VS Pro Hacker

[slim topaz]

i already solve rooms and do courses , but many experts recommend books

[undone fossil]

rank doesn't mean much 😅

[slim topaz]

maybe there are some hidden gems , some more experienced guys can recommend some

[undone fossil]

Just get stuck in and do what you enjoy

there's no perfect

[upbeat tangle]

thats right!

[worthy cargo]

Lots of Cybersecurity books here

[undone fossil]

probably dont post that here

[eternal mango]

Keep it legal.

Please

[alpine nimbus]

I thought that's what measured my value

[worthy cargo]

Oh

[eternal mango]

[worthy cargo]

Np

[undone fossil]

Quantity != quality

[slim topaz]

exactly

we need the quality

imo SANS books are among the best

[undone fossil]

I will be using that statement as a cope for why I only write one blog post/year

[slim topaz]

hahaha maybe you're already in a good job that's why

[upbeat tangle]

You dont have time blogging

[undone fossil]

I love doing and sharing stuff, just find the writing boring 😅

[slim topaz]

most people that write blogs , are looking to improve their chances to find a job

experts or professionals rarely got time

[undone fossil]

I really do, I've sat here for 2 hours wondering what to do lol

[slim topaz]

use claude as your second hand

[upbeat tangle]

Better get too it then

[undone fossil]

nahhh

[slim topaz]

love claude

i would marry it if it was a woman

[undone fossil]

For work sure, but I prefer to work on side projects by hand since the goal tends to be learning

[slim topaz]

teaching def teaches you more than you think

[undone fossil]

gotta keep applying brain

[alpine nimbus]

"Well obviously it'd be stupid of me to make a github submission because Im sure that its not 100% efficient and perfect! Others probably made the same thing I have before so mine isnt special." - I completely understand the paralysis

[undone fossil]

Somewhat, it's mostly just the joy of unmedicated adhd and a lot of free time

[slim topaz]

maybe lack of vitamines

that's what i notice on most my friends

[lapis apex]

its measured in pp size

[slim topaz]

most guys in tech neglect their health , always put your health first

good quality of sleep , any kind of sports ( at least 3 times a week ) , and a good diet won't hurt

[mystic harbor]

I face that frequently

[alpine nimbus]

FYI, my comment was more sarcastic as to simply break up the fight lol so wasnt trying to bash you

[slim topaz]

easily fixed tbh , just find a partner go running or to the gym twice or 3 times a week

[alpine nimbus]

Although I did think that rank mattered too

[slim topaz]

some vitamines from the pharmacy

and a good quality of sleep

[tawdry sorrel]

a skiddie giving an advice (standard problems) nvm Flukey

[lapis apex]

im just fckn around mate

[mystic harbor]

That is the problem only rest exists

[undone fossil]

stuck between either

• rewriting my debugger to be less shit now that I've learned a lot more about C++
• ctf
• implement a generic finite state machine library

[upbeat tangle]

Dont you have anymore certs to collect?

[alpine nimbus]

I tend to start shit for fun until I realize that I was being a headache the whole time, 24 hours later

[slim topaz]

what do you mean

[lapis apex]

yeah i do the same but not in the mood today

and i think im on my last warning to be banned from here

will save it for a really boring day

to trigger that C1oud guy

[slim topaz]

i love cloud

more money

[slim topaz]

Hackthebox content and methodology is really good

not much people do it the right way

[undone fossil]

nah feels too much like work

i somewhat agree with you, but it's just not for myself

[slim topaz]

hahahaha i want to do it but i still gotta improve a lot

[tawdry sorrel]

that's a long way to finish
CJCA (DONE) > CWES (DONE) > CPTS (DONE) > CDSA > COAE > CWEE > CAPE > CWPE

[slim topaz]

currently focusing on perfecting the basics - gave myself 1 year to improve on some aspects i'm lacking

mostly practice

[slim topaz]

have you tried CCIE Enterprise

[alpine nimbus]

Nothing wrong with that

[tawdry sorrel]

nah my goal is to collect every HTB cert exist

[slim topaz]

noticed that when i finished SOC level 1 , had problems with wireshark , powershell , bash , python , DNS , automation

the stuff that no one tells you about

[alpine nimbus]

@slim topaz I tried to just do the fun stuff and sprint before I can even walk properly. And look, now Im back to square 1 for filling my gaps

[upbeat tangle]

CDSA, interesting!

[slim topaz]

we always get tempted by going to the fun stuff and leaving the essential skills , luckily i had good mentors that guided me

[lapis apex]

and when you do them all you will feel better?

[slim topaz]

yes

did this challenge with a bunch of friends we got a list of good resources to master in a way these important topics

[molten bobcat]

'HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run','HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce','HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run','HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce' | Get-ItemProperty | Select-Object * -ExcludeProperty PS* | Format-List

A gift

[slim topaz]

with a lot of projects we can put on out github & portfolio

[slim topaz]

what actually motivated to study powershell is passing the AZ-104

[molten bobcat]

what does my command do

[balmy vortex]

stuff and things

[upbeat tangle]

If it brings value to him, good for him you know.

[slim topaz]

no idea tbh , that's why it's in my plan to grind on it

what would be good is a github repo with tons of resources and home-labs / projects for beginners to start learning the right way

i think i should do something like that at least start it

[undone fossil]

@worthy cargo Just finished that xssy challenge you sent

funny one

I can give you a nudge in dm if you like

[molten bobcat]

powershell is thankfully written in plain english style so its easy to parse what it does unless its obfuscating on purpose

[balmy vortex]

TERRIBLE NEWS i dont have any creatine left

and its still not friday

wtf

[slim topaz]

lmaoo same

[molten bobcat]

this command checks the contents of the "Run keys" within the registry and displays them to you

[slim topaz]

my supplements are done , need to re-order

[molten bobcat]

Windows Run Keys are a common persistence methods

[slim topaz]

i love buying supplements

[slim topaz]

def why i have both windows & powershell on my list

[molten bobcat]

feel free to run this in powershell, it will tell you the content of your Run Keys

"What will run when you log on"

[slim topaz]

any good resources to learn windows ?

someone adviced me to read windows internals

[rough mirage]

yo whats the place for asking for machine help again?

[molten bobcat]

depends on the box

if its new, it will have a channel with its name

[rough mirage]

its a medium box

[alpine nimbus]

Any specifics? Or ALL of Windows?

[molten bobcat]

otherwise it'll be #boxes

[rough mirage]

its the pterodactyl box, still active

[molten bobcat]

looks like it has no channel atm

[slim topaz]

If it’s a duplicate than your not getting anything

If it’s out of scope or the company doesn’t care your out of luck

Just report it and hope for the best

hey new rank right?

who tf knows nowadays xd

[balmy vortex]

hello, yeah yesterday or tuesday i think

cant remember

[supple plume]

I thought you looked green before

well congrats

[fringe viper]

its in scope and the company cares because ive made 5 other reports and all of them got triaged none were duplicates

[supple plume]

btw

cool that's what I've found but I wasn't sure

[balmy vortex]

basically generating (pseudo) random bits using xor operations

[supple plume]

sounds interesting

[rotund forge]

If it's pseudo random are you learning it to break it like a crypt analyst?

[balmy vortex]

not really its mostly learning about random stuff lol

i wish i had time to do such things besides work

but thats not happening for now :p

got my last practical exam tomorrow

then another set of exams from monday

[balmy vortex]

it can be after some times

[rotund forge]

That's always good to have something a 3rd party can verify. Writing stuff can be pretty lame sometimes. Thx for the share.

[balmy vortex]

depending on what u pentest lol

[meager kernel]

what do you enjoy more, web pentest or AD?

[balmy vortex]

i despise web so id say AD

im pretty fed up with both tho

but it happens

[meager kernel]

lmao understandable

[supple plume]

web is great

[meager kernel]

im enjoying AD nowadays

web is........
okay

AD is new to me so its fun

[balmy vortex]

i suck at web so it is one way of justifying it

[meager kernel]

im decent at web but bad at AD

but im still enjoying AD more rn

[balmy vortex]

i started with web then """pivoted"""" to ad so i feel you

i still do the former tho because one gotta do it lol

just do what u enjoy

try stuff

and thats about it

[meager kernel]

i just study cybersec cause its fun

i wanna learn alot

[balmy vortex]

yeah thats the whole point

enjoy the journey is i think what they all say

dang its 9pm already

[molten bobcat]

[balmy vortex]

what

[obtuse fern]

Tahw

[rotund forge]

Uhm hmm how do I explain. I've been going over a bunch of legal paperwork. So the value that I perceive in it comes from someone objectively who has no baseline knowledge would know that you "C1oud" have experience.

Idk I feel like people dog really hard on CEH until you have to add footnotes at the bottom of a page as you're writing it. It gets pretty annoying. Try making footnotes it's pretty mind numbing.

[molten bobcat]

Are you suggesting I have to attach something that suggests my credibility here?

[supple plume]

i got a few nostarch books, those are good quality

[slim topaz]

goddamn , which cpu & ssd u got ?

[eternal mango]

Damn it, well those are four hours I won't get back. Was working on making this workflow OS agnostic using conda to manage package state. Thought with a 4090 and some RAM to offload to it'd kick the DGX Sparks arse.. but turns out it would've taken like, 42 hours to render something the sparks do in 20 minutes 🤣

git stash && cry

[eternal mango]

Ryzen 9 7950X3D, and some sort of NVME

[slim topaz]

was waiting for an I9-14900k

but the R9 7x3d is decent

Ah, it's just a Crucial NVME

[slim topaz]

how many tb ?

[slim topaz]

p3 p5 ?

[eternal mango]

Just 2, got a NAS to chuck stuff over to when I start to run out of space lol

[slim topaz]

ahhhhhhh the dream

NAS is a life saver

[upbeat tangle]

i love my NAS, i got one from my boss he didnt use anymore from the company

4 terabytes, the NAS is from 2016 but its king xD

[frail turtle]

I want a nas just to have it

I already have a second ssd with nothing on it

[upbeat tangle]

its great for storing movies

[hardy frigate]

Sup guys

[frail turtle]

So in C right

[hardy frigate]

I am testing out some Adaptix and Juicy potato exploits through MSSQL

[frail turtle]

They tell you to always initialize your variables

[slim topaz]

how you guys use so little storage ?

[hardy frigate]

Trying to find the most reliable way to get a shell / beacon when exploiting MSSQL

[slim topaz]

i already consumed 2tb with VMs

eve-ng took 400gb

[frail turtle]

Need an account with elevated priveleges for xp_cmdshell

That's the only way i know so far

[sharp shuttle]

hang on claude is thinking

ill let you know

[rose onyx]

You have used your weekly allotment of tokens

[hardy frigate]

It seems pretty straight forward, u just need to know firstly what firewall rules are allowed, then u get a beacon using the allowed protocol and port etc.

Gubarz can probably tell u more of this cause he has CAPE

I'm still working on CPTS

[sharp shuttle]

Yes claude agrees, you are completely correct

[hardy frigate]

Which C2 did u use for CAPE (if any)

[rose onyx]

I wont say

But it would probably be obvious to anyone that knows the things i've been doing

[hardy frigate]

Overall I think Adaptix is my main C2. Its just so simple and effective

The only thing I dont like about it are things that Cobalt spoiled me with

[terse dirge]

Why not write your own?

[hardy frigate]

• Super reliable beacon
• Beacon survives server crashes and restarts
• BOF for using remotely-loaded powershell modules
• Reliable .NET loading

It doesnt cost 10k plus for nothing I guess

I also tried the OutFlank C2 which comes with that price and it didn't work at all

They ask u to watch a 2 hour video and then after watching i still couldnt get it to work

I would rather use Adaptix tbh but I just need some ways to make it reliable and evasive

[rose onyx]

It's called find the one that works best for your flow and bend it to your will

[hardy frigate]

Because why would I spend time developing instead of learning more exploits because people already developed and they do it better then I could

But if I finish all the certs then Ill probably develop my own C2 just for red team operations

[sharp shuttle]

just use mythic man

[terse dirge]

For the learning experience and you never know, maybe you can do something better than another C2

[hardy frigate]

But dude dont u think gaining core pentesting and red teaming skills is better than just developing another C2

Like just think of the two options

Developing Vs gaining more core skills

The latter is much more important

[rose onyx]

Me thinks you think to much instead of do

[hardy frigate]

Well that swhy u have CAPE and I dont

[iron galleon]

the core of pentesting is gambling and we need to do more of it

[hardy frigate]

But Im not here to complain, Im grateful I can even work towards CAPE and other certs

But I must say I have to work a lot harder than u because u are probably smart

For me im not smart but Im disciplined

So I can possibly get to ur level just by trying and trying

[ocean marsh]

imagine using a C2

[hardy frigate]

I'd say gambling, risk taking, and experimenting are one side of the coin. The other side is knowing what to do

[supple plume]

When....

When bro

[brittle owl]

HI, Do you think learning programming while I'm learning CPTS is the best option? I'm considering learning C++ and Python, what do you think? I have enough free time without any problems.

[ocean marsh]

python can help if you want to automate some attacks

[jagged storm]

For CPTS, bash/powershel are more important.

[ocean marsh]

you'll not use C++ any time soon

[supple plume]

♤

[hardy frigate]

Yes thats a good plan. For example whilst you're learning linux priv esc, learn bash and learn how to make scripts and one liners with bash. When doing windows priv esc automate attacks with Powershell. And when doing web exploitations u can automate PoCs with Python

[iron galleon]

[rose onyx]

🫦

[ocean marsh]

hai gubarz

[rancid snow]

both paths are completely viable, neither are wrong options for learning

[hardy frigate]

I'm not trying to just "learn" aimlessly. I need to become more marketable and solidify myself in the field

[rancid snow]

Did I say it was learning aimlessly?

I said both paths are viable

[hardy frigate]

Just consider the roles

C2 Developer vs Pentester

Which one is more in demand

[rancid snow]

lol

thats not how it works

[supple plume]

I want to say something unhinged @west venture

[hardy frigate]

C2 Developer Vs SOC Analyst

C2 Developer Vs Security Engineer

Developer has no job dude

[rancid snow]

Okay Ill make sure to tell my c2 dev friends that make 3x as much as me that

[ocean marsh]

masoud I always see you jumping from topic to topic, path to path

[rancid snow]

if you dont want to go down that path thats completely fine

[ocean marsh]

I think you should specialize in something

and then go to another topic

[rancid snow]

all I was saying is both are viable

so it's not about which you think its better, its about which one appeals more to your interests

[ocean marsh]

btw is C2 development a "common" job?

[balmy basalt]

Not really no.

[ocean marsh]

I never heard about this before

[rancid snow]

nope, but it is highly paid and requires extremely high skills

so its viable but requires commitment

[ocean marsh]

I see

it sounds pretty cool

[balmy basalt]

It's more of a niche of a niche of a niche. But a fun space regardless.

[hardy frigate]

I can't really specialize atm I keep getting thrown around by business needs. Thats why I am training in many things because my job is demanding that I know many different things

[jagged storm]

You're generally going to use havoc/CS, and then build your own implants/loaders/BOFs

[brittle owl]

Yes, I know, but I researched and found that learning programming will benefit me in modifying and developing tools for any work environment. Since I now have extra time, I thought I'd learn what I might need later.

[ocean marsh]

yeah that might help in the future, but just know that for CPTS its not important

[brittle owl]

Thank you!

[jagged storm]

Well,.. it could take you as long as it would to finish the entire CPTS course to go down the rabbit hole of a language. It's something for much later.

[terse dirge]

you'd develop more skills especially if you write your own from the ground up

[worthy cargo]

I feel like I'm not good at anything 🙁

No drug talk please.

[hardy frigate]

It's a sign that you should work hard to learn more. But dont let the negativity feed on u

[hardy frigate]

One thing that helped me to fight imposter syndrom and the feeling that im not good enough is to work towards certifications

Certifications are reliable proof that u know something

[undone fossil]

[fickle kernel]

https://tenor.com/view/kuni-jojokuni-gif-9556046131992949053

[worthy cargo]

Depends on the certifications

[rancid totem]

i think someone is sober

I think it's a medicine though

[terse dirge]

what about having a bunch of projects instead? Certs are expensive

[rancid totem]

it makes me creative and more problem solver

at least I feel like

[worthy cargo]

I just feel like I'm not good at anything. I shred on the guitar and yet I feel like I'm not good at the guitar. I make my own software for everything, even before AI was a thing, and I feel like I suck at programming.

[rancid snow]

projects are better than certs anyways

[fickle kernel]

I know how to pass certified frog

[rancid snow]

you can cheat certs or hire someone to take the test for you.

If you do that for a project youre just a project manager and thats employable

[ocean marsh]

I did both CPTS and CAPE and I still feel super stupid because I cant do my own tools to get the job done

[iron galleon]

I do jackshit and I'm fucking intelligent

$CAD 🍁

[jagged storm]

That's like the same price lol

its insane what you get for this price

[alpine nimbus]

$11

[ocean marsh]

I think the AI path fits in the student sub too

[alpine nimbus]

Jokes aside, yeah - I think I'll get it after tier 0

[jagged storm]

Bro, you have $11

I'm typing this from a homeless shelter, and I have $11

[alpine nimbus]

Im not pretty enough to sell pics

[alpine nimbus]

Student card needed?

[jagged storm]

Just a student email

And you get access to all tier 1 and 2 modules, as well as still getting the cube refunds for doing them.

[alpine nimbus]

Odd way to verify but I got one

It’s a beautiful day embrace it with a beautiful attitude 😎

[jagged storm]

It's disgusting how generous the student sub is lol

[obtuse fern]

if your educational institution is registered with HTB it should unlock the availability to purchase the student sub automatically (within a day or two of adding your student email as a secondary email); otherwise you'd need to reach out to HTB about it

[alpine nimbus]

I looked but I didnt see it

I think it has to be registered to compete

Junior cybersecurity analyst it’s got 20 modules in it

17 days and 3 hours estimate

With student sub, you would have access to all modules for any of the first tier certification paths

when they say automated tools are u also not allowed to use like found scripts on github?

like do u have to do it fully manual

or it just mean shit like metasploit

oscp is funny, only 1 use of metasploit

[limber arch]

You can use scripts

Any autopwn stuff, like sqlmap

Pentester also has tier II so I think I'll still need more cubes

Same for JR analyst

[jagged storm]

Student gives tier 2

[alpine nimbus]

I thought "first tier" = Tier 1, my bad

[jagged storm]

Yeah, you can do all of the first tier certs, on student sub

The cheapest you can do CPTS path without student is like $108

[alpine nimbus]

Ok, I guess I was seeing different tiers

I see some on each module

Like CPTS' modules spanning from Tier 0 - Tier 2

[jagged storm]

Yeah. Any module you finish during the student sub is yours to keep, too

Thanks again, rat 📜 📚

Yeah. Mostly writing malware and fighting EDRs

[turbid goblet]

how do u do that

er

i mean like get EDRs to try to bypass

[alpine nimbus]

I'd assume a homelab

[turbid goblet]

like can u get a free version of sentinel 1 or something like that

No, I have a Windows lab with Elastic set up

[alpine nimbus]

The outlaw life

[turbid goblet]

ah nice

[jagged storm]

It's good enough to do testing

[turbid goblet]

ive always wondered how hackers like do recon, find a client that uses x edr eg sentinel 1 then do their malware crafting tests to make sure s1 doesnt catch it when they actually push the payload

[jagged storm]

Those are great questions. It's almost like HTB should make some modules for it! lol

[turbid goblet]

im too noob to be there yet

[jagged storm]

But we only have the one wannabe maldev module, which doesn't teach you anything, other than beating defender

What does that do

[alpine nimbus]

Yeah, same. I find that it would be super risky if they didnt test out their noise first

[rancid snow]

its what you use to break into a gibson

What's a quick way to understand syntax in python

[jagged storm]

In the before times, these were called PDAs

[undone fossil]

Write python

[alpine nimbus]

I personally learned it via codecademy.com 🐍

[hardy frigate]

I used SoloLearn and learned Python at a coffee shop every morning on my phone

[strong pulsar]

I get that but is the syntax the same as it is in English like does it do the same thing

[alpine nimbus]

What do you mean? 🤔 Python VS English?

You need to just start reading some python tutorials lol

[strong pulsar]

[rancid snow]

[rancid snow]

Its funny because I totally understand how they came to that question too

[alpine nimbus]

How do I put this. Python and other code lingos arent like a real human conversation language

[jagged storm]

Yeah, I could see the logic

[rancid snow]

and theres plenty of languages that will use semicolons in much the same way
