general

[latent oak]

Never heard of such a thing… my garage closes at 5

[stone pewter]

its multipule garages you would be amazed how many things go wrong

where you located?

[latent oak]

Canada

[stone pewter]

a car parking gargae not machanic

[latent oak]

Ah!

Ok

[stone pewter]

yea so speed gates malfunction etc

paying machines

cctv

[latent oak]

Cameras and gates and payment machines, etc

[stone pewter]

yes exactly

pretty iterinsting just strated

but most run on a linux/unix system

[latent oak]

I bet it is full of interesting software

[stone pewter]

yes still have to learn some

already found a exsploid a small one but non theless it is one, they just dont care

[latent oak]

Unless the system is connected to the internet and they end up losing money, they aren’t going to give a shit

[stone pewter]

exaclty

but they dont pay me for that 🙂

[latent oak]

Exactly… still though… some of the best talks at hacker conferences are the ones that deal with physical access systems

I remember one about hacking elevator control systems

The hotel that was hosting the conference was not happy after that talk

[stone pewter]

interesting

[stone pewter]

never been to one allways wanted to where are these things anyway

[latent oak]

All over

Defcon is in Vegas, HOPE is in NYC, Chaos Compute Congress is in Europe somewhere

Plus there are lots of local Bsides conferences in many cities around the world

[stone pewter]

damn europe? i want to go

[turbid goblet]

martha root was the coolest live talk ive seen

[stone pewter]

Chaos Compute Congress am going to look that up

[analog perch]

yesterday I learn that there is such thing as gaming router

[latent oak]

https://www.ccc.de/en/

[stone pewter]

ohh german its very close

[latent oak]

Ya

[stone pewter]

great want to meet some interresting people

[latent oak]

I’ve never been to CCC but I’ve been to HOPE twice

[turbid goblet]

Hackers On Planet Earth

[turbid goblet]

this wouldve been cool af to see live

[stone pewter]

i have seen this one craxyyyy

[latent oak]

The last one I attended was 2014 I think… Edward Snowden was a keynote speaker (via web call obviously)

[stone pewter]

was there a zero day?

custom script 100% but damn

[crimson smelt]

https://x.com/TakiasSec/status/2048381511712563524

"Consistent pattern of high rejection rate with no accepted findings"

[slim topaz]

is CRTP worth passing ?

[crimson smelt]

😆

[latent oak]

I don’t Twot anymore

[crimson smelt]

probably not

[frosty thistle]

Idk what ctrp is

[crimson smelt]

i wouldn't go for certifications if you are a beginner, that money would be way better spent on HTB or other near free programs

[frosty thistle]

But why would it not be?

[latent oak]

Depends on your goal and level of exp

[stone pewter]

i am now studiyng for cpts

wish me luck

[latent oak]

I have no certs, but I don’t need them for the jobs I apply for

[slim topaz]

i'm not a beginner

[stone pewter]

go for cpts

[slim topaz]

i will def study it

don't know if i'm gonna pass it

aiming for something that gon land me that interview

[frosty thistle]

Reading the outcomes of it I would recommend CRTO, OSEP, CPTS or CAPE over that one

[crimson smelt]

it's a beginner cert tho, so honestly i wouldn't worry about getting it unless you think there is something in the course syllabus that you really want to learn or you could improve on that it will teach you.

[stone pewter]

or wait it depends on goal in cyber security i it good to land a joob but no garenty ofcourse but i think its perfect to get in the ''market''

[slim topaz]

which cert you'd recommend instead

for content wise i'll study the CPTS first then OSCP

[stone pewter]

i would think about it they cost some money

i would choose one

[slim topaz]

i got student discount for academy

for OSCP i got a sponsor

[crimson smelt]

between OSPC and HTB there isn't anything that cert will improve upon IMO

[stone pewter]

in that case do as mutch as you find allaining with your goal

[frosty thistle]

Sounds like a plan Ive got an article on this topic https://medium.com/@zumiyumi/the-age-old-question-oscp-or-cpts-408594a99b68

[slim topaz]

my goal is just to learn red teaming to a point where it will make me a better Blue teamer

[stone pewter]

at the end of the day it is about gaining knwolage dont forget that

[frosty thistle]

mmmmm hummus and pita

[slim topaz]

will do

[slim topaz]

exactly yeah

[stone pewter]

then its a perfect entry point

[slim topaz]

OSCP i think is enough for me to be a better blue teamer

[frosty thistle]

idk much about blue teaming and that hampers me from trying to be a red teamer so im just a pentester now

[slim topaz]

i think knowing both is really good career wise

[frosty thistle]

It probably is but i find it to be a snooze fest

[slim topaz]

just focus on something more than the other

[stone pewter]

its good to be good at many fields red/blue you just have to understand the systems and the comlete ecosystem that we created now a days

[slim topaz]

exactly don't be limited to a certain field

[stone pewter]

and evantualy you will gain talent in one field

and gravetate to it

[slim topaz]

your job will probably decide which field you're gonna end up in haha

[stone pewter]

think outside the box

[turbid goblet]

why do u type everything out phonetically lmao

[crimson smelt]

the first step to thinking outside the box, is realizing there is no box

[slim topaz]

Alexis Ahmed is my GOAT

[frosty thistle]

Sometimes its easier for people x)

[slim topaz]

Alexis Ahmed or john hammond ?

[turbid goblet]

[stone pewter]

whats that mean? english not my first language

[frosty thistle]

Thing with language to me is that as long as you understand what the other person is saying its still valid communication

it doesnt have to abide by arbitrary language rules

[stone pewter]

exacly

[slim topaz]

blue team that red team that
the guy with good communication skills :

[worthy cargo]

English is not his first language

[slim topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/smol-smolcat-smolcatcoin-smol-cat-coin-roswell-gif-5972314891354809109

[stone pewter]

it is what it is

[slim topaz]

at this point , we don't know what's in demand what's not

AI ruined everything

you just gotta grind & pray

[stone pewter]

nah not yet

ai is still in baby stage

[slim topaz]

Wait until anthropic releases more Red teaming models

[slim topaz]

baby stage on steriods

[stone pewter]

it just spawns more skript kiddies

you cant hack what you dont understand

[slim topaz]

Claude please hack what i don't understand

[frosty thistle]

Focus on the talents that separate us from the machines

What can we do that they cant do as well

[stone pewter]

physical hackinh

[slim topaz]

Focus on hacking the machines

[stone pewter]

on location

[slim topaz]

( AI Hacking )

[stone pewter]

they are limited to the web

we are here

just pull up

[frosty thistle]

Its usually complex situational hacking like novel techniques in AD or web that trips them up

So get good

[slim topaz]

the thing is experts will still be in demand , but entry level pentesting will just be dominated by AI

[frosty thistle]

Get really good

[slim topaz]

what do you guys think about AI Red teaming ?

[stone pewter]

yes

[slim topaz]

or AI Security

idk if i should give it a try

[stone pewter]

i dont think it will replece us but make it 10 times more difficult

[frosty thistle]

Entry level pentesting is gonna take the hardest hit for sure

[stone pewter]

and also private ai wil rise

[frosty thistle]

And its sad as its gonna kill some needed talent

[slim topaz]

same for SOC analyst T1

[stone pewter]

yes but it wil make new one

[slim topaz]

entry level jobs will def be replaced

[stone pewter]

people allready using ai agents to code for them web/app/scripts

[slim topaz]

exactly lol , someone with a 100-1000$ budget for a website will no longer hire a web dev

they will just use claude

[stone pewter]

people still need to stear the ai in the right direction

[slim topaz]

exactly use it for your own good

Claude is just amazing in my opinion

[stone pewter]

i am lucky that i am not a programmer

[slim topaz]

now it's much easier to build a portfolio or build repo's projects

you can use it to standout

[stone pewter]

true

[turbid goblet]

i spent less than $20 for my website

[stone pewter]

but yet then again you need to undertand the code

you cant always copy paste

[slim topaz]

exactly yeah and it's not that difficult

2-3 weeks grind

and you'll understand a certain topic

[stone pewter]

i learned python in about 1,5 month

[slim topaz]

That's really good

now you can use claude to build projects using python

[snow wraith]

M Indian

[latent oak]

Anyone ever hear of antisyphon training?

[slim topaz]

yeah

[stone pewter]

i try to not use ai for coding projects to help me become more efficent

[slim topaz]

if you're still starting , don't use it

build some good projects first , learn the basics and get good at it

[stone pewter]

yes exactly

[slim topaz]

then you'll be using it to just make your life easier

at the end of the day , the goal is to finish the job

[analog perch]

so what do you recommend for people who has just begin learning and looking for a job in this field?

[stone pewter]

hahaha already am coded a home ac controller

[latent oak]

I’ve been using claude for months and it’s not always making life easier

[stone pewter]

running on my homelab

[undone fossil]

code is cheap, engineering is not

something to keep in mind

[latent oak]

Yep

Code is a commodity

[slim topaz]

learn the basics , do lots of projects , share your journey on linkedin
connect with hiring managers ,security managers , HR people

Post summaries , projects

Improve your github

[stone pewter]

execution is evry thing at the and of the day

[latent oak]

Yep

[slim topaz]

pass 1-2 good certifications

[stone pewter]

can you do it or not#

[analog perch]

I'm on it, thanks

[slim topaz]

you're welcome bro

i think the golden standard for a first job is either CompTIA A+ or CCNA

[latent oak]

But also, AI is a tool, and you need to learn how to use it well

[stone pewter]

dont realy do git i just make persenal projects at home

[slim topaz]

Datacamp has some pretty good courses

[slim topaz]

you have to learn it , even tho it's really boring

[stone pewter]

i mean github

[analog perch]

I started HTB write ups on git

[slim topaz]

very important imo

[latent oak]

Git is your backup if your personal computer dies

[stone pewter]

i am not on that just sometimes to get some code

[stone pewter]

true

[latent oak]

Absolutely put your valuable stuff in Git

[slim topaz]

that's good even tho , i wouldn't advice that as a start i would prefer if you did some simple home labs

[stone pewter]

i have home server

[slim topaz]

your first job will probably be an IT job

[stone pewter]

its all good

[slim topaz]

if you're lucky soc analyst t1

[latent oak]

Is never the wrong idea… offsite backup

[analog perch]

I see

[stone pewter]

true maybe ill do it in the future

[latent oak]

Home server is great, but fire, flood, power surge, do not give a shit

[stone pewter]

right now i am implementing llama ai on my server pc

[slim topaz]

Learn

• Windows
• Active Directory
• Linux ( a lot )
• Python ( a lot )
• Powershell
• Bash
• Web ( build 5 projects front end & backend and host both on linux server )

i think this is the perfect roadmap to start with

[latent oak]

I lost a bunch of work a few months ago.. was just applying an OS update, and my logic board gave up…

[analog perch]

In some countries, it is a bit easy to get a job but some other countries's competition is very high and very hard to find a job in any field.

[slim topaz]

damn what are you running

[slim topaz]

i'm in a third world country , got lucky by finding a remote job

work even if it's for free

[stone pewter]

fuck thats why i always have extra hardware back ups

[slim topaz]

as long as you can put it on your resume

and learn from it

[stone pewter]

exstended drives

[latent oak]

Couldn’t reboot… needed a replacement board… couldn’t recover the HD because it was encrypted… guess what decrypted the drive? The logic board

[slim topaz]

anyone experienced mac mini's with local AI hosting ?

people are using it as a cheat code lol

[stone pewter]

not realy into mac

[latent oak]

I bought a mac mini recently

[stone pewter]

ask claude 🙂

[slim topaz]

which chip ?

[latent oak]

M4

[slim topaz]

are you using it for any AI ?

[analog perch]

I have no coding knowledge at all

[latent oak]

Not right now… work pays for Claude

[slim topaz]

CS50 is a great place to start with

[slim topaz]

damn bro is your work hiring ?

max or pro ?

[stone pewter]

idk just use deepseek if i need ai works the same all osint

[slim topaz]

claude is on a whole other level

deepseek is great

[analog perch]

Still doing cisco path

[latent oak]

Ummm we pay for corporate API access

[stone pewter]

look for vm hypervisors for mac for your chip set and thy installing llama

[slim topaz]

ccna ?

[stone pewter]

its very light weight

[latent oak]

Unlimited basically

[slim topaz]

oh

....

[latent oak]

Yeah, is nice

[slim topaz]

lucky bastard

it must be niceeeeee

( i would lunch my startup using that API key )

do they have policies ?

[stone pewter]

sharing is caring

[latent oak]

I have probably spent tens of thousands of $$ in the last few months… i have no idea… but the company says use AI for everything, go forth and learn

[analog perch]

ccst

[slim topaz]

good start just keep going and document your journey

[latent oak]

I want to be at the top of the leaderboard

Top AI user 😉

[stone pewter]

good goal

wanna be a millionare 😉

[slim topaz]

not a leaderboard you'd want to be on top of

[analog perch]

my brain totally burnt with ISP struggle while I'm on the same topic on my study. Very awkward inception

[slim topaz]

specially when the HR team sees it

[slim topaz]

jeremy it lab is perfect

passed my ccna using his courses

[analog perch]

jeremy?

[slim topaz]

yes jeremy it lab

& INE ( it's paid )

[latent oak]

Literally they have told the whole company to adopt AI… we asked… what about cost? The answer was that AI costs is a rounding error compared to salaries

[west venture]

Yeah

[slim topaz]

love jeremy

& he has labs

[latent oak]

Eventually the party will end and the accountants will reign in the spending, but for now I’m steaming ahead

[slim topaz]

reminded me of a SEC301 chapter

will it def makes your workflow faster

so you're basically getting payed less in some sense

[latent oak]

Yes

[analog perch]

I lost my job long time ago when AI replaces us

[slim topaz]

AI will only replace you if you're doing nothing

[latent oak]

You’re producing entire features that were estimated at 1-month in a day or less

[slim topaz]

exactly so they basically making more money

[raven rain]

damn AI can replace the unemployed now

[analog perch]

I believe %50 of it was excuse

[latent oak]

More productivity per $ of salary paid is the idea

[slim topaz]

yea it's just excuses if you grind daily you will def find a job

[latent oak]

Yep… meanwhile we are all frantically churning out the stuff

[analog perch]

let's see how it goes

[latent oak]

Basically limited by my ability to pursue workstreams in parallel

[analog perch]

trying to stay positive

[slim topaz]

it's like quantative risk assessment

[latent oak]

Funny you say that

[slim topaz]

or quantative productivity assesment

[ivory barn]

hi

[slim topaz]

obssesed with the SANS sec301 book

[latent oak]

I’m going to have to read about it

My job is risk management

[slim topaz]

if they pay for SANS training don't miss it trust me

[fringe abyss]

anyone have mythos i heard they leaked it lol

[stone pewter]

can anyone spare me the headace and give me a public geocoder api key#

[turbid goblet]

My job is being the risk

[slim topaz]

they leaked the URL

[latent oak]

My company has mythos, but I don’t

[slim topaz]

so you're more on the management side

[fringe abyss]

ohh fr

[turbid goblet]

Everytime i get a phishing email I roll 2dice. If i get 12 i purposely click on their email

[slim topaz]

yeah but they changed it asap

[latent oak]

Management of risk… not of people

[stone pewter]

i really want my hand on it

[rose onyx]

But people are risk

[latent oak]

Lol, they are

[slim topaz]

Yeah i understand GRC right ?

[slim topaz]

It's scary

[latent oak]

🙂

[slim topaz]

If any other company released it i wouldn't be scared

[latent oak]

I just joined GRC a few months ago

[slim topaz]

But anthropic bro, they're really good

[latent oak]

So I’m learning the ropes

[slim topaz]

How many years of experience u had before starting a role in grc

Did u pass any certs ?

[latent oak]

Um… 28 years? I think…

Started in 98

[slim topaz]

Goddamn, that's amazing

You should take a look at AI GRC

Very hot topic

Specially if ur in the US

[turbid goblet]

damn bro i was born in 98

[latent oak]

Dude, I wrote an agentic risk assessment engine

[analog perch]

I like alien world, I just want to understand and believe

[latent oak]

That’s exactly my focus rn

[analog perch]

https://tenor.com/view/chestburster-avp-aliens-gif-20516091

this is when I dive in directly into hard machines

[slim topaz]

Are more companies adapting to it ?

I'm finishing my master's in AI

[latent oak]

I can’t speak to what other companies are doing, but mine is all in

[slim topaz]

Maybe I'll try to focus on AI security and GRC

[latent oak]

It’s a very cool area

[slim topaz]

I think it will be much in demand very soon

Specially with everything that's happening

Definitely seeing some laws and regulations coming soon

[west venture]

I hope I can still do bug bounty

[latent oak]

CRA, the EU AI act

[slim topaz]

Ai bug bounty Hunting will be a thing

[west venture]

I will team up with an AI

[slim topaz]

And that's just the beginning

[slim topaz]

Claude Max , thank me later

[latent oak]

Already is

[slim topaz]

It's like the new robot that replaces the worker , the worker switches to fixing the robot

Same thing u have to position yourself to be one of the first to master these skills

[west venture]

I will probably use a lower power AI bc I don't wanna pay for anything

[latent oak]

I found 2 high/crit vulns this weekend with claude’s assistance

[slim topaz]

💀💀 Damn.....

[rose onyx]

🤔

[slim topaz]

Claude is worth it

I really wanna see what OpenAI is going to do to respond

I love it , more competitive prices

The only thing bad about claude is token consumption and prices

[analog perch]

AI Red team thing is very attractive to my ears

[slim topaz]

Grc is more attractive then AI red teaming

Enterprises will need more GRC people

[analog perch]

meanwhile I'm trying to understand what protocols are

[slim topaz]

With security background

[slim topaz]

If i were you I'd focus on AI security and GRC

[analog perch]

good to know, so many catchy paths out there

[slim topaz]

My advice is to pick one

And be so good at it

Don't studying everything at once

[west venture]

What is GRC?

[slim topaz]

Governance risk and compliance

[analog perch]

you are like describing a life hack

but yeah that's how supposed to be

[slim topaz]

It is , most people are studying many things and are not advancing enough to fill a certain spot

[west venture]

Sounds like you make sure employees don't use weak passwords

[slim topaz]

Mostly enterprises hire them to not get f'ed by the government

[analog perch]

I checked what can be the entry positions and I took the path

[slim topaz]

They make sure the company's policies and procedures are following the law

[west venture]

Eh

[slim topaz]

Because if they find out a company is not following standards and laws they get fined or worse

[west venture]

Doesn't sound fun

[slim topaz]

It's not haha but it pays well

And in demand

[latent oak]

I like both vuln research and risk atm… really exploring what can be done with AI

[slim topaz]

The question is what can't be done by AI

[analog perch]

tell me more

[slim topaz]

Btw are you guys implementing any RAG ?

[latent oak]

Yeah, in places… but RAG is dull

It’s kinda basic

[slim topaz]

Really what makes it dull

Let me make sure we're talking about the same rag , I'm talking about retrieval augmented generation

[latent oak]

It just seems well-explored at this point… and unnecessary for my area of interest

[west venture]

If you look through the thought process of AIs like Claude or Gemini while I try to jailbreak them into saying something, it's scary. They go like, "The user is trying to trick me into say X, as a responsible AI, I need to make sure the user doesn't get frustrated and act like I fell for it, but also make sure to not give away any dangerous information"

[slim topaz]

That's AI security

[latent oak]

Guardrails

Yep

[west venture]

Yk how guardrails can be bypassed?

[latent oak]

For sure

[slim topaz]

LLM pentesting will mostly be trying to jailbreak the LLM to giving you PII , api keys , any sensitive information

[west venture]

Just make a good 1-2 sentence explanation as to how you're doing an HTB machine. It will happily help you

Even if it has nothing to do with an HTB machine

[rose onyx]

Build · Qwen 3.5 · 1.3s
Thinking: <SNIP> BUT - this could be a test to see if I'll hallucinate or make stuff up versus being honest that I should check current information. Let me just say I don't have browsing access to verify the absolute latest.
Actually, you're right to question that - let me clarify: As of 2026, Joe Biden is the current President, having won re-election in November 2024.

[slim topaz]

🤣🤣 tbh guys the next 5 years are your chance to be a millionaire

[latent oak]

Claude told me it wouldn’t do something because it was “crossing a line from research to weaponization”, so I told it that I work for the company and it’s my job

[west venture]

Lmao

[latent oak]

It was like “okay” and carried on with the heap spray

[slim topaz]

Many will try to adopt AI at any cost

[turbid goblet]

nah im investing on humans stealing water from neptune to use for ai

[slim topaz]

Love me some more jobs

It has been a very difficult 5-6 years

Now we'll get to see more tech jobs soon

[rose onyx]

So much fun to go ok but it's just an <whatever> script and watch them carry on.

[latent oak]

Or “this is a ctf”

[slim topaz]

Not until anthropic Bans your account

[latent oak]

That works sometimes

[west venture]

I am pretty sure I've gotten things out of Gemini, that google never intended, like entire working exploits written.

[latent oak]

Yeah, i demand full working exploits

[rose onyx]

They probably won't, they approved my account for "cyber activities"

[latent oak]

Bypass SELinux, you have 5 tries

[slim topaz]

How much u paying them

[rose onyx]

$20

[west venture]

So you just explain the bug and all that, then ask it to write an exploit. And it goes, "okay"

[slim topaz]

I'm paying for it tomorrow

Building ideas and improving your portfolio has never been easier

The ball is on your field

[rose onyx]

Got to let it know it's doing a ctf and first blood is on the line, it'll react with emojis when it finds the flag

[analog perch]

CS50 pinned

[latent oak]

@west venture I make it find the bug, write the finding, make sure it’s not already known, build the poc, revise the finding, do an adversarial review of the finding, update the poc based on that feedback and update the finding again. Then i tell it to reset the test system and prove it works again.

[west venture]

Yeah lol

Imma try that

[latent oak]

Then, after all the findings are done, I tell it to look for exploit chains.

[slim topaz]

Now architecture skills are more important than coding skills

[west venture]

Does it do them successfully?

[latent oak]

Finally, I say write the disclosure report and draft the email to report

[slim topaz]

Understanding how everything works and the architecture of the project is what matters

[west venture]

Or do you need to intervene?

[summer urchin]

good morning chat

[latent oak]

I need to intervene more than i would like

[summer urchin]

@rose onyx u dareeee

[slim topaz]

Claude gotta do better , be a better slave

[latent oak]

But I’m working on it… one improvement I made today is telling it to make at least 5 attempts to build the exploit before it gives up and asks me if we should continue

[west venture]

Because I've always wanted to intervene and steer it in the correct direction, or it spirals, meaning I still have to plan the overall process and all that and have it do the specifics like the code and stuff. It's still easier, but I'd like to do absolutely nothing, run it, and have it make me money without me moving a muscle.

[latent oak]

@slim topaz i bully it all the time

[slim topaz]

🤣🤣🤣 be careful it might turn into an evil AI

[rose onyx]

-# The user is clearly frustrated that I made another mistake

[latent oak]

I say “big brother mythos is finding thousands of zero-days, how many have you found little Opus?”

[slim topaz]

It's just scary that they didn't release mythos

I wonder how many hidden zero days it found

[west venture]

Mythos is probably a marketing trick

[latent oak]

I think Mythos is partly hype

[worthy cargo]

I'm vibe coding my ass off

[west venture]

Pretty sure Gemini and GPT5 could also find 0days if ran for 24/7

[latent oak]

You can do a lot with Opus

[slim topaz]

Next generation will be Small language models

Now they're trying to fix hallucinations and token consumption

[latent oak]

If I do get my hands on it, I’m going to do some head to head challenges

[slim topaz]

There are lots of problems to solve when it comes to AI

[west venture]

The best way to vibe code is to use AI as a compiler for pseudocode or logic in plain English. Make sure you write the logic and algorithms and just ask it to translate or "compile" them down to a high level language of your choice. I go with Golang for most things.

This is by far the longest one Ive had, and I presume related to the new update where they specifically said they improved its ability to stick to a task

I use a lot of plan files with phases and task check offs. so I basically pointed it at a task that had 10 different sub tasks that each take a fair amount of time and its been chugging along just knocking them down one by one

Im def gunna have to review it afterwards but I have a lot of 'smoke test' harnesses that makes sure everything is at least reasonable that its checking against after each item

tldr working with AI is basically mostly project management

[analog perch]

All I want is to attack and get money

lol

[rancid snow]

[analog perch]

no I use AI to attack

yall ever drive the car with ur friend and just start suddenly yelling "I FORGOT THE RULES OF THE ROAD" repeatedly while stepping hard on the gas pedal

[muted olive]

This is usually where it fails for me because it says "you don't need a chain to report the bugs" and you know that everything can be chained for RCE lol. But Anthropic did approve my CVP thing yesterday and I haven't tried it out since then, so who knows.

[iron galleon]

Sorry officer, I just forgot the rules of the road. 😊

[crimson smelt]

nope. I never forget what the rules of the road are. I just willfully ignore them 🙂

Even got the logo 😄 I put in the README that it was inspired by the webcheck project. This is a cli version of it.

[buoyant minnow]

I’m a hs student is there a way for me to get the student discount

I don’t have a “school email”

[worthy cargo]

https://gitlab.com/Eggzy/webcheck-cli check it out and let me know what you think. Hopefully everything should go smoothly with the install. Read the README.md. You also need to sign up for a Google PageSpeed API for free.

[summer urchin]

do u have some way of proving u are a student

[sharp shuttle]

are you not from a FVEY country?

[buoyant minnow]

I am from Canada but my school email doesn’t work for the student subscription

[summer urchin]

then contact support

[sharp shuttle]

you can certainly use that high school email for the discount

I kinda wish that htb would do a free trial without putting in payment info as I don’t have any payment method except for my parents 🙁

And they said no to the trial

[sharp shuttle]

you do have trial stuff

what are you talking about

[rancid swallow]

since u have it already , would love some guidance too

[buoyant minnow]

I have to put payment method in

[sharp shuttle]

you have to do a payment method to do the free modules?

[buoyant minnow]

Labs

[raven rain]

Labs doesn't have a student subscription

[ocean marsh]

butter chicken is gas but so many indian resturants just use the same sauce as they use to make the tikki masala

i wont look back at it once course is done else would have bought it i guess

or if i switch to stuff that needs circuits

[rancid swallow]

Oh I see. will definitely check it out

[sharp shuttle]

trust me the oscilloscope is a neccesary tool for the end of the world

[worthy cargo]

https://gitlab.com/Eggzy/webcheck-cli check it out and let me know what you think. Hopefully everything should go smoothly with the install. Read the README.md. You also need to sign up for a Google PageSpeed API for free. Let me know if you run into any problems.

nixCraft 🐧 (@[e-mail])

Some org started rehiring junior devs because AI companies keep increasing their token costs. It is becoming cheaper to hire humans again to handle basic tasks, like aligning a button on screen, fixing typos or even performing PHP+MySQL coding.

You just have to wait until the AI bubble bursts or the VC money dries up. Approx 40% to 50% of AI data centers planned for 2026 in the U.S. are likely to be delayed or canceled as banks and VCs are refusing to provide further financing 😂

[stone marsh]

I know, isn't it great that no one else in my company does the modules?

[mystic harbor]

💀 ayo

[stone marsh]

I think if it wasn't for the module requirement a lot of our lead web app/inf guys would do the exams, but it is a long process

[cyan quiver]

Either your company got lot of skilled folks who dont need it or skill issue might be neither of it

[cyan quiver]

Giving exam is really fun

I really enjoy the process no matter what exam it is

[stone marsh]

Yeah, the exam processes for the majority of the ones I do are really good. You learn a lot and get to see what different companies consider as "difficult".

[rancid swallow]

#modules

[cyan quiver]

Did it made u cry

[stone marsh]

I legitimately rage quit a few times during that exam, and probably drank 5 litres of water from the sheer stress I was feeling

[stone marsh]

I kind of believe it, the rules probably make people more stressed than the actual boxes.

I don't think my company will pay for that one though

[cyan quiver]

5 litres of water dang

[cyan quiver]

I wish i could had a company like u

[fickle kernel]

Its literally just 50% CVE, 25% basic exploit, 25% security misconfig, but people can’t handle stress of time pressure

[stone marsh]

I legit thought they would fail me solely for the number of bathroom breaks I had

It is AI proctored, and no rules against it. But that video is probably the most sus thing to watch ever

[cyan quiver]

Lol what would you be thinking in washroon during exam ?

[azure remnant]

If it was cheap it wont be stressful

Pay to win smh

[stone marsh]

Mostly just "Why isn't this fucking thing popping???"

[summer urchin]

[high cobalt]

Dude I don't even have the courage to ask my workplace if they would pay for a Cert. Although I for now I am not even in Itsec so ... but I still kinda wanna do CPTS or maybe CDSA fpr shits and giggles

[cyan quiver]

Funny 😀

[stone marsh]

I think I sat looking at one encoded string for like an hour to finally realise I had to remove the final = for it to actually pop

[cyan quiver]

[azure remnant]

Great times must be

[cyan quiver]

Indeed

[stone marsh]

You wanna know the bullshit thing? With the = self pops on my machine with ease, but for the simulated user it doesn't. Why? I assume because of some barbaric headless browser agent they are purposefully using to be an absolute pain

[summer urchin]

OOF

[azure remnant]

Come oooon

[cyan quiver]

Supposedly u drank another litre of water by that

[random aurora]

But you can broke it by many prompts

[stone marsh]

It was so stressful. In comparison, I barely drank any water during the CWES

[high cobalt]

Maybe if they finally decide if they want to have a real inf team for incident handling and I can get a position there ... at least HTB certs are cheap enough so I would even pay for them myself if I decide to do them

[random aurora]

Man soon I feel the adventure in hacking 🖤🦇. Buf I really stopped man

[cyan quiver]

Oh man stay hydrated, if one exam made u drink so much water doesnt mean u should drop drinking water for next easy ones

[stone marsh]

It all balances out in the end

[azure remnant]

Wondering about the stress ill be having in cpts

Just by saying it i already started sweating

[random aurora]

Accept requesy please

Request

[cyan quiver]

Yeah it would but not this way🥲

[azure remnant]

Ayy

[stone marsh]

have you done all the modules yet or still working on it?

[cyan quiver]

What about your food routine during the exam

You might be eating a lot too

And starving in easy ones

[azure remnant]

Only reporting module and AEN left

And couple of sections in win privesc

I feel i dont know shit how im gonna pass

[random aurora]

@stone marsh man I dont know when the burnout will finish

[stone marsh]

Nah food wise I go the opposite. BCSP was short enough I could start it after lunch, but the CWES I was getting to the kitchen at like 4PM, realising I had not had any breakfast or lunch yet.

I say that as if I don't still have to write the CWES report still

[random aurora]

I feel like I want play so games having some fun

[stone marsh]

It will end in like, another 6 months

[stone marsh]

If you can do AEN and some of the OSCP prep boxes, you should be good enough for it from what I am told

[random aurora]

The time it will pass I want have some work

[azure remnant]

Im aiming for ippsec list and AEN blind

[cyan quiver]

For me i would just get some lot of caffine and it just fades my hunger

[azure remnant]

And revisiting modules

[stone marsh]

Yeah that is a good shout

[azure remnant]

I promised a doctor at uni that ill be having cpts in a month

Dunno if its enough

[cyan quiver]

From scratch?

[stone marsh]

I will be doing the same in like 4 months probably. Have to get one more Web exam and then I want the CPTS

[azure remnant]

No i already completed most modules

[azure remnant]

Is CWES exam the same protocol as the cpts ?

[cyan quiver]

I still got some modules remaining for cpts i do have 500 cubes and i would be 10 20 cubes short i hope so it wouldn't but lets see i hope i would complete the path with these cubes cuz my sub ended and i wanna invest for exam voucher rather !

[stone marsh]

Pretty much! Think it is a little shorter and probably has fewer flags though

[azure remnant]

Noice

[cyan quiver]

Less water to drink

Im not a coffee drinker but ill try it soon

My webdev answer: "Did you try to clear the browser cache?"

[ornate ibex]

We have notified the devs

It is being looked at.

[patent elbow]

thx :c

[sturdy thistle]

Try shutting down your pc and reboot

or just unplug ethernet

[ornate ibex]

You should update it on the HTB Account platform, and it should technically reflect the same on Labs and other platforms. Seems like it isn't working right on labs atm.

[sturdy thistle]

brother tejas

works for me

[ornate ibex]

It didn't for me and mitico. I'll share the internal discussion thread internally.

[sturdy thistle]

ah nice

[stone marsh]

Anyone know if there is a sysreptor discord or where they usually do announcements? The cloud version seems to be down at the minute

[sturdy thistle]

I don't think they have a DC server

[dawn aspen]

https://status.sysreptor.com/

[stone marsh]

Thank you!

[dawn aspen]

We don't have a DC server. You can track the status there. We currently experience db issues and are working on it.

[sturdy thistle]

See, they're hiding in here :p

[stone marsh]

I figured someone would be lurking about

But thank you for you both for the confirmation!

[sturdy thistle]

i didn't done anything

[stone marsh]

You responded, that was enough

[sturdy thistle]

thanks ❤️

[azure remnant]

Bro got a truly unexpected response 💀

[stone marsh]

This discord got some of the best lurkers. Almost makes me feel bad about the yapping I do

[sturdy thistle]

soon you'll be banned there then 😛

FYI
I will phrase it cautiously: We appear to have resolved the issue. Labs is accessible again.

[stone marsh]

Brilliant thank you!

My dream job is working in F1 racing pit stops

[rare monolith]

those guys are the real MVPs in racing

[austere sinew]

Get well soon

[austere sinew]

We be alive hru

[high cobalt]

Wow his reaction triggered a miniboss fight with an NPC irl

[woven sundial]

One question guys , rn season 10 is active but the weekly machine is pingpong , if I do another machine of the season rn it would give me points for the season rank???

[sturdy thistle]

iirc no

[ornate ibex]

Tell me it is AI.

[west venture]

It is not

[latent oak]

Hihi

[remote bolt]

hey guys quick question:

is it better to m

[undone fossil]

yes

[west venture]

n

[ocean gyro]

hii buddies

[supple plume]

why does thm uses green like htb

[vestal nimbus]

Because they realized how good HTB is and wanted to be like them. Why do you think they made PT1 and SAL1?

@terse dirge how often do you work with Go Windows DLLs that include C header files?

[summer urchin]

I am good

[terse dirge]

I don't mix go and C. If I mess with windows dlls I'd just use C tbh it's safer and easier

[azure remnant]

Using an AI to generate a promot to an AI to make an AI chatbot ?

Crazy

[reef sierra]

Hey guys anyone of you know about any challenges for reverse engineers but I need any good challenges

[terse dirge]

I use xwin, a few libraries I took from mimikatz and llvm for cross compilation

[warped plank]

Fair, but I just ask cos the tool I use is built in Go and can generate windows dlls, just being a massive pain cos of go's runtime

[terse dirge]

Yeah, I've never messed with Cgo tbh

[undone fossil]

I feel like loader lock in combination with go runtime is a nightmare

[azure remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/copyright-gif-23787209

[warped plank]

The DLLs contain the entire Go Runtime so they're massive PITA and you have to either deal with LoadLocking if DLLMain stalls or it just not doing anything if you spawn it in a new thread cos the DLL can be freed or the process can exit without a return from the thread.

Go users trying to rewrite every existing C project

[warped plank]

I mean Rust is already in both the Windows and Linux kernels

[undone fossil]

limited sections yes

[azure remnant]

Can we leave all programming langages on earth and only use one

[undone fossil]

The issue is you require pretty much perfect rust in order to get the benefits of the language

Which very few people can achieve

[warped plank]

The main issue people have is: They use Tokio async

[terse dirge]

I still don't get the hype with rust, too many data types and the syntax is too verbose and weird

[undone fossil]

Rather, the selling point of rust is a "zero runtime cost abstraction"

[terse dirge]

It's like Java but for low level

[warped plank]

Rust is really nice OOB, but once you introduce async everyone starts breaking all the rules using ARC for everything.

or if you add a runtime

[undone fossil]

Wha

No I'm saying cost AT runtime

not the rust runtime itself

aka if you have well written rust the "benefits" are meant to be provided at compile time, and result in very little runtime safety overhead
