Just because something is open source, doesn’t mean that it can’t have vulns

A lot of open-source does not get looked at with enough scrutiny

@worthy cargo creatine helps a bit

worthy cargo
#

Hey bud

#

quasi ridge
#

like workout creatine..also good for the brain

#

Creatine ( or ) is an organic compound that, in vertebrates, facilitates recycling of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), primarily in muscle and brain tissue. Its phosphorylated form, phosphocreatine, donates phosphate groups to adenosine diphosphate (ADP), turning it back into ATP. Creatine also acts as a buffer. It has the nominal formula (H2N)(HN)...

Hey asta, I don't know about here, but there are discord servers where you can't send GIF without having right rank.

THM over moderates everything

Their discord is just fucked. Platform is not bad.

I joined the platform a month before the Echo fiasco but I'm glad I did. The training there is good and a good way to get started.

rancid swallow

I'll do HTB once I learn more

Cybers tough! I have no problem learning a new load balancer or moving large groups of servers to a new load balancer, migrating hundreds of TACACS in ISE using python to push configs and create import sheets for ISE.

#

No problem learning a phone sytem or firewall operations, vpns, network equipment, arista, topologies

But cyber is TOUGH lol

torpid patrol

I'm thinking to automate some stuff in bash for recon on HTB boxes. For example, auto scan with nmap, then fuzz for subdomains/dir/files etc. using ffuf, what else?

#

ideas?

torpid patrol
torpid patrol
#

Think about using the socket module to test if a port is open

#

write your own nmap in python, it's simple just to check for port open

rancid swallow
# worthy cargo ideas?

Im making a AD Pentesting framework on RUST...mostly its made but testing & debugging is pending/ongoing slowly

coral walrus

#

I vibe code everything now. I don't code by hand anymore. I just audit the code produced by LLMs

you can also use python to run system commands like feroxbuster, or wget to download images

first thing I do on windows boxes is run this script to see if there is anything available on smb and auto download all available downloadable files

rancid swallow
worthy cargo
#

Yes

#

Just that

quasi ridge
rancid swallow
#

i thought its an alt tool for existing stuff like smbclient/rpcclient, netexec/crackmap ,E4L etc

worthy cargo
#

Has the following options:

    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="Enumerate SMB shares anonymously or with credentials, list files, and optionally download them.")
    parser.add_argument("server", help="IPv4 address or host/domain to scan")
    parser.add_argument("-d", "--download", action="store_true", help="Download files from accessible shares")
    parser.add_argument("-s", "--share", help="Specify a share name to download from")
    parser.add_argument("-u", "--username", help="Username for SMB authentication")
    parser.add_argument("-p", "--password", help="Password for SMB authentication")
#

Nah. It just scans an IP or domain for if SMB is open, and if so, which shares are available, and optionally download all downloadable files

worthy cargo
#

that way I don't have to manually type commands and browse around in smb etc.

torpid patrol
#

Fun stuff and very helpful for CTF challenges

worthy cargo
#

That's why I'm thinking to automate some more stuff for HTB boxes

#

So I don't have to manually do things

#

like fuzzing for dir/files/subdomains

I used to do PHP then Perl but Python is the best

Guys , Finally i decided to overcome my fear and try and do practical learning instead of just learning theory all day , i set up my Kali Virtual lab enviroment , SSH client from windows so i have less lag in kali , started doing the first newbie boxes on HTB labs connecting through open vpn and my own lab and oh boy i feel so good and i feel im putting my theory into work finally , i know the labs are easy but it just feels nice :))

rancid swallow

i was a dev before , Use claude code its so good , but you must know and understand what are you doing and why are u doing it , structured code with AI is powerful

Fair enough, Im just struggling in deciding what to focus on

worthy cargo
#

nvidia_nim/qwen/qwen3-coder-480b-a35b-instruct is one of the best models to use for free

#

I also use Deepseek v4 with 1M token context window

#

It's slightly slower than other services, but it's free and doesn't impose limits

Is there a Linux CLI version of discord?

There is for IRC called BitchX

sharp shuttle

There is also one called SoldierX where politicans get hacked

#

i know all about the drama months before the news

torpid patrol
#

Politiicans are evil all over the worlds, it's all controlled by money now.

#

We must unite!

sharp shuttle
#

i wouldnt call them evil, i would say they are just playing the game

proper dragon
#

people become politicians to help solve the big issues
they learn in the process that they have to jump through their own hoops in the process
they thus become what they are and people hate them for it unless theyre a cult leader

sharp shuttle
#

politicans are just pawns on a divine 4d chessboard with an unknown amount of secret societies acting as single players, and us, we are not even playing the same game, if they are playing chess we are playing trouble (or any game with a dice roll) in our daily lifes

torpid patrol

The problem is that the people with the money for the campaign choose who they are going to fund ensuring their victory

is it possible for malware to spread onto your main windows machine if you connect to someone’s rdp

sharp shuttle
#

if it was a bidirectional tunnel

#

otherwise not really

torpid patrol
#

if you want to be safe for those situations you can use a linux vm

and rdp from linux

sharp shuttle
#

thats not true, clipboard sharing still works with evilwinrm

#

its all about how the session is configured

#

you can get spiked if you are stupid

torpid patrol
#

want to visit an unsafe site?? snapshot your linux vm and go to it

#

if needed revert

sharp shuttle
#

also vm/container escapes are real

#

you never know

#

its just better not to connect to sketchy shit

torpid patrol
#

Yeah, someoen could have a malware execute an escape, but that's more unlikely

#

they are more likely to target weak indivduals unless it's a targeted attack

sharp shuttle
#

i think we have entered a reality where 0-days and n-days are being discovered hourly by super computers

torpid patrol
#

Been that way since the beginning only it was a lot easier to do things when the Internet started

#

It was a fun time

sharp shuttle
#

i would argue today the internet is more insecure due to scaling

#

back then a botnet took forever to cultivate

#

now its potentially done in hours

torpid patrol
#

Depends on the scope of the hack

#

Stuff like OSINT, today is much easier to get info

sharp shuttle
#

think about how quickly mass systems get pwned by supply chain

torpid patrol
#

But when windows 95 had no firewall and was directly connected to the internet with a public IP

#

Now those days were fun

sharp shuttle
#

that wasnt a concern in 1995-2009

and when you connected to EFNEt it showed your public IP

microsoft simply included vulnerabilities on purpose (at the direction of the NSA) back then

ah sorry, i thought you were implying something else

torpid patrol

anyway why is the internet so insecure now?

he was the paypal code jockey for a short while before he was their angel investor

starlink has destroyed the ability for a true uprising against the status quo, its a network of not only survieillance satellities, but its a network of lidar sats that correlate signal triangulation from space. and you cant just take them out of orbit.

so even if you wanted to, you cant just go make your own nation

you will get ruby ridged

because frontier models require 500-800 gigs of VRAM

claude code is awesome and totally free with local models or with nvidia NIM api

deepseek v4 for example requires 800 gigs

I just upload files to chat.deepseek and code there. No need for 800gb

Decent GPU with enough VRAM is good enough

might seem impossible now but just have to remember the days we had to fill up an entire room with boards to run a computer that isn't even as powerful as a raspberry PI

#

while there's work done in order to reduce the memory requirements, it's probably going to shave off 30-50 % in maximum... there's no work in progress making frontier models runnable by potato hardware

#

and tbh I wouldn't and probably couldn't use any local model.. they simply are not able enough with the stuff I work with

#

can't use sonnett either because only opus is able to do the things I request

I bet in 40 years AI will be so far advanced and capable to be run on hardware that we can only dream of right now

most of my requests require opus tailors a tool, and runs it. sonnett can run only pre-existing tools.

rancid swallow
silver forge
#

well in theory sonnett can do, but it just fails to get them working since it's not smart enough

#

idk if sonnett does the orchestration either. opus sometimes launches several sub-opuses and divides the work amongst them

#

maximum I have hit was 14 opuses running simultaneously, and one coordinating their work

#

actually, claude is the only clanker I don't bully sadglas

I did one task yesterday that sonnett could've done. it was adjusting the tone in an invitation letter. would have taken me 20-30 minutes to do, and I was in a hurry. used opus because I couldn't be arsed to click the switch button.
