Thanks , these are so cool already ..will look into that too

[high cobalt]

I am not falling for this ragebait any more. Its not a single failure point but multiple ones chained. Also still an organization deserves to get help in getting better after having an incident 😉

[sweet lintel]

I'm just saying - If a single phish from anyone in the entire company guarantees a complete compromise, your company has failed.

[terse dirge]

Landon performed holy roller with spiritbox once and messed up the first measure lol https://youtu.be/zqpgMvRPV9k

[high cobalt]

The problem is that most of them don't realize what they are doing wrong. The old admin thinks it is normal to use his Domain Admin User on every machine, the manager doesn't know anything about AD and that Bob is not doing it right because there are only 500 employees and 20 IT people and Bob was the one building up the company IT! He can't be wrong, can he?!

[sweet lintel]

Just because you don't realize what you're doing is wrong, doesn't mean you haven't failed.

[terse dirge]

There's also invent animate. Their singer Marcus Vik was the singer for aviana at one point and he's featured in a bunch of other songs

[worthy cargo]

I'm seriously fucking annoyed.

Something had a memory leak, I didn't realize, mem usage 100%, system locked up, I don't have a swap drive/swapfile. I should create one. I rebooted and nvidia stopped working, Xmonad won't load on start. I don't know what the fuck happened.

I spend about 1/2 hour fixing all these stupid fucking issues.

FUCK!

I fucking HATE computers.

Go fuck yourself you stupid fucking computer.

Goddamit.

[raven rain]

that's a lot of f bombs

[worthy cargo]

Whew. I feel better.

Every now and again computers and their stupid issues get to me

I'm still glad I'm not Windows or macOS

Used Ansible

[rancid swallow]

gonna watch Project Hail Mary on VR after an hour or so

[worthy cargo]

Reinstalled Ubuntu 24.04 over Debian 11 because the Draupnir bot didn't work with old glibc

Now the bot is working fine

[rancid swallow]

next 3 days holidays from office

[worthy cargo]

Everything is fine now, seemingly.

Until the next time I reboot and get unexpected surprises.

I have BTRFS and ZFS and those file systems are fine, but for /home I use EXT4 and that doesn't have copy-on-write.

So... no data integrity. Abrupt system lockup and reboot could have messed something up

I have no idea

I'm just irritable.

[untold lodge]

will htb be patching https://copy.fail/ on all their machines? feel like its a major cheat method

[terse dirge]

HTB patches all kernel exploits unless it's the intended path

[untold lodge]

awesome. kinda just used it on silentium but oh well

was a test to see if it worked

[terse dirge]

With the exception of pro labs and fortresses I think

[sharp shuttle]

For those that check "Search HackTheBox" to see where I am - see you in 6 months. Yee Haw 🤠

[untold lodge]

fair, i mean personally i wont use it anymore after that test. feels cheating and no learning from using the same thing. good to know it gets patch tho

[terse dirge]

Well it might be a while till it gets patched since it's only patched in the latest kernel release I believe

Ubuntu and Debian don't have mainline kernels so it would probably be a week till they release a patch unless HTB has their own patching system

Or uses both

[untold lodge]

Fair enough

[terse dirge]

They're on 7.0, latest is like 7.0.3 for mainline

[high cobalt]

Ufff so long?!

[terse dirge]

Nvm, it might've been patched on 6.19

Latest Ubuntu shouldn't be vulnerable

Patch was on 2026-04-01 which was 6.19

7 was released later on the month unless I'm getting the timeline wrong

[icy shard]

backport for 6.12 has been released but its not on mainstream repositories afaik https://lore.kernel.org/stable/2026043038-unwilling-slogan-a20e@gregkh/T/#t

[terse dirge]

Mfs do everything but upgrade their damn kernel smh

@worthy cargo you upgraded your kernel yet to at least 6.19 for the copyfail patch?

[icy shard]

i dont plan to do anything till security patch is released for debian :P

[terse dirge]

Void Linux is already patched and so is arch btw

[autumn moss]

hilarious, I was going to see if people already knew about copy fail and your all 10 steps ahead 🔥

[high cobalt]

You know ... now that Mint 23 ist just releasing in December I am kinda tempted to switch to Arch again 😭

[high cobalt]

But what about my serveeerrrrsss?

[supple plume]

Arch is very good

[high cobalt]

Yeah but I have one problem when I want to use it for Work: Does it run Webex and Cisco Secure Endpoint (EDR)?

The second one is sadly essential

Webex I can use on my phone xD

[supple plume]

Idk I don't run these things

All I know is I've been using arch for my things (web dev/web pentest) for the last 2n-3 years and I'm very happy with it

[ornate oracle]

How did you get that good at linux? Did you read any specific books about it or did it just come with time from doing boxes etc.?

[supple plume]

Me?

Sure it will maybe in few years

[high cobalt]

Well I will spend my 100 cubes from silver well to unlock one of the modules I have to take for getting better at HTB and to get better at blue teaming

[timid arrow]

Dumb question but for the academy annual subscriptions, does that essentially temporarily remove the cost to start modules and bring the cost back after the year ends? Or does it just end up permanently unlocking those modules (even after your annually sub ends)?

[tawdry sorrel]

All modules you finish before the subs end are yours

[timid arrow]

Hey

[rugged dune]

[zealous charm]

[ornate oracle]

Hello

[slate whale]

Guys how do you really learn hacking ?

I know a lot about programming and networking but what am I missing ?

[west lynx]

Get Started with the HTB Beginners Bible: https://www.hackthebox.com/blog/learn-to-hack-beginners-bible

[fickle kernel]

Most likely just time and practice

[slate whale]

Doing HTB boxes ?

[stone marsh]

HTB (labs & academy), THM, Portswigger.... and any number of other learning/ctf platforms

[slate whale]

Its how you learned ?

Thanks guys

[stone marsh]

Yeah pretty much, I also got a job in the industry that did some on the job training, but I had the "basics" down by that point

[slate whale]

Wow a job is amazing what were you doing

[stone marsh]

Pentesting, security assessments, general Cyber Security/compliance audits mainly

[slate whale]

Thats so cool

[ornate oracle]

Did you have a college degree or certs? If yes did it even help you career wise

[summer urchin]

certs will help you get past HR

I beliee

believe*

degrees are good for CV, but

learning for certifications gives you knowledge (depends on the cert, but)

[stone marsh]

I went to uni and somehow convinced a company (that paid terribly) to hire me, then somehow convinced another, better company to hire me before I got anything other than a linux certification

[ornate oracle]

I did alot of web coding and I just wanna transition into this. A lot to learn but I picked A+ Core 1 just to get the ball rolling and do the HTB academy modules

[ornate oracle]

That's amaizang man! Yeah networking throught uni can go a long way

I currently work at a call center but it will get better atleast for starters switch to help desk for IT that would be grand xD

[zealous charm]

Any hacking today?

[fickle kernel]

Anything really, just make it hacking, ctf boxes, bug bounty, certificates, all is fair game if you practice and get routine methodology down

[scenic maple]

what training did u get once u got in

[thick jacinth]

Brooo anyone know about defronix academy bug bounty programme

[cunning tulip]

Was gonna do some at work but pwnbox wasn't letting me do an exploit so I'm gonna use ssh when I get back to my laptop at home lol

[dusky cairn]

[compact escarp]

Hello everyone

I found a data breach vulnerability exposing 250 id cards and driving license of random Indian dudes should I ask money for the exploit disclosure?

[molten bobcat]

No

[compact escarp]

Why ?

Is it illegal

[high cobalt]

1st of all, how did you find this? If you didn't have permission you can get into legal trouble (especially asking for money which kind of sounds like extortion lmao)

[fickle kernel]

Google extortion

[analog perch]

Hello. How is everrybody?

https://tenor.com/view/learning-studying-gif-26177059

[compact escarp]

I just informed them on LinkedIn and 🥲 just politely ask can I get some money 🤑

[compact escarp]

Google dorks

[high cobalt]

Not sure if LinkedIn is a good channel for this 😅

[fickle kernel]

Look if the company has a bug bounty program

If yes, send it in there

[compact escarp]

God 🙏 protect me

[high cobalt]

Thats usually a really morally grey area and mostly illegal thogh

[cunning tulip]

Only if the exploit is in scope of the bounty program*

[fickle kernel]

If no, look if they have security.txt on their website, [e-mail] or some similar email address where they expect similar reports

[fickle kernel]

I’ve paid for things out of scope as well

[compact escarp]

I checked they don't have any

[fickle kernel]

It happens that you dont include something coz you dont even know it exists type shit

[cunning tulip]

They're teetering the line of extortion if not in scope and asking for money imo

Or at least it being perceived as such

[summer urchin]

then…… u might be in trouble

[fickle kernel]

If you report on a bb program? Its not extortion, channel and way of communicating it via private disclosure matters a lot

[compact escarp]

I don't think they are gonna raid my house that was a indian site and I am in a different country

[summer urchin]

still, without actual permission or a bug bounty program, it is unfortunately illegal

[compact escarp]

Their net worth is 11m dollars

[fickle kernel]

If you didnt run scripts and shit youre probably fine, if you brute force enumerated ids, its not looking good

It depends on company a lot how they proceed in such cases

[cunning tulip]

And they've disclosed it here

Honestly incredible

[compact escarp]

No no I just found it through Google dorks I didn't run scripts

[summer urchin]

u should be fine then

[compact escarp]

[summer urchin]

tbh

[fickle kernel]

I could say I found 20k driver license on some public aws bucket and so what

[scenic maple]

not this again

[summer urchin]

GOLAMMMMM

I think the guy is not malicious, you can do stupid things, but context matters, but yes, if you really care and spent the elbow grease, you could also find it and you’d be in the same shoes as him tbh

[cunning tulip]

Yeah definitely not malicious

[fickle kernel]

I think you’ll be fine, just don’t ask publicly about such things, its grey area, you did all you could, dont exploit the knowledge, idk indian laws tho

[cunning tulip]

But I've known someone where i work who was fired for simply breaking scope on accident so it's something to be super careful with especially when the consequences are not just losing a job

[compact escarp]

[fickle kernel]

I did that one time too by mistake, I got a slap on the wrist, it happens, but that’s why professional disclosure matters

[cunning tulip]

Yup

Probably my biggest fear for when I get into pentesting lol, behind taking down prod or something

[fickle kernel]

Taking down prod just happens

I knew a guy who took down a PCI network

[high cobalt]

Eh depends. I think in australia some journalist got into court for opening DevTools in Browser and reporting he found that the HTML contained social security numbers of all teachers in the district or something like that on a government website. And germany once had a stupid case with a developer reverse engineering a software and finding hard coded database credentials ... which exposed data from every customer ...

[cunning tulip]

True a project I was working on for some blue team stuff did earlier

[fickle kernel]

[fickle kernel]

Bro was asking for it, he just scanned with no rate limit and crashed some critical server

[cunning tulip]

I'm praying that aus one didn't get the journalist charged?

By that logic any GET request to that site is a breach lmao

Unless they disclosed it before it was patched?

[stone marsh]

My good place did a 6 month academy where they taught us as much as possible. Wasn't as helpful for me, but we did networking basics, linux fundamentals (including installing gentoo), a butt ton of HTB modules, labs, pro labs, web application hacking, basics to AD evironments

[high cobalt]

Idk honestly. I can't find it any more. I just know there was a few stupid instances. And the german case was also ... not amusing for the itsec community

[scenic maple]

so basically htb for 6 months

cause u knew the other things

altho i think installing gentoo was a waste of time

[fickle kernel]

Lmao, I got 2 days of “training”

[stone marsh]

Basically. I would do our group activity in an hour, take a break for assassins creed and then do more htb

Gentoo was just hazing tbh

It was a ritual that the CTO kept up from 20 years ago

[high cobalt]

Someone got fired for breaking scope in a paid pentest? Ouff

[scenic maple]

@fickle kernel u around?

[zealous charm]

hopping around

[cunning tulip]

Yeah some legal drama ig that was the only option, I wasn't here when it happened but I heard abt it

[scenic maple]

in a local sysreporto instance when u do this
do u get a list of all bugs or just a few and u create empty field for the ones that dont exist?

[stone marsh]

[scenic maple]

see above

[scenic maple]

so it doesnt have all

I need to “protect” these ppl from themselves

yeah I started with Kali to HTB

[cunning tulip]

It really doesn't matter

I mean sadly thanks to supply chain attacks I get sweatty, too, if I need to run npm update Maybe the boomers were right and you should never update?

[supple plume]

Someone has to

Hahah

[fickle kernel]

I solved that issue with private registries and package policies

[analog perch]

so learning linux doesn't mean Kali is Linux

god damn

[high cobalt]

What policies?

[supple plume]

Wdym kali is not linux? What is it then windows?

Exit the undercover mode

[fickle kernel]

Cross check with threat intel and having cooldown period of 14 days before we let new shit into the private registry

Oh do you have a recommendation for software which can do that? Currently we use Sonatype Nexus but the problem is the Pro license is too Expensive

[analog perch]

No I mean, Kali is linux but ready to attack ops with build-in tools (easy). From defensive perspective, real world usage is ubuntu/debian and one more. (They said)

It almost makes no difference, linux is linux

[supple plume]

You're free to install arch and learn

You could literally daily drive kali although that's unhinged

[analog perch]

yeah but AI disagreed to your opinion

[cunning tulip]

Aw :(((

[summer urchin]

LOL

[cunning tulip]

AI also tells me to use strcpy() so

[fickle kernel]

You can just setup a private npm repo and control what you mirror into it like npm-registry-mirror

[analog perch]

And on the otherhand I have just entered Azure topics

[fickle kernel]

I saw features for JFrog, but thats also pricey

Maybe I will look into it if I have some spare time

[high cobalt]

Oh btw about this topic. You wanna know a crazy fun fact? In germany it is technically even illegal to download Kali Linux or even wireshark "... if it is used to prepare a cyber crime" lmao. After establishing this law, even pentesting companies were worried how they don't get into legal trouble. Luckily I think it kinda lost relevance because there is (at least from what I know of) no case where this law was ever applied instead of other cyber crime laws haha. So I am probably safe haha

[rare monolith]

[cunning tulip]

[meager kernel]

[ornate oracle]

Germany has gone to far

For example here in the Balkans we don't have laws

[high cobalt]

This was passed 20 or so years ago

But now I think nobody really cares and fears consequences from it.

[gilded viper]

We have laws too but where there is no plaintiff, there is no judge

[ornate oracle]

I mean even when I get to that skillset I will def not use it to harm anybody

[molten bobcat]

I mean if you do I'll know

[high cobalt]

Rightfully so. Politics definitly need to jail every Hack The Box user! God forbid they are training to do evil hacking!

[ornate oracle]

What I don't really understand is to put so much time effort into something just to commit crimes and like just bank on working class people

[molten bobcat]

It's less time and effort than you think

Most malicious threat actors are not trying hard

I heard making ransomware was the new "Yeah let's make and sell drugs"

yeah sure money but if you gonna do crime

go big or go home

[unborn yoke]

HI everyone, is there anyone doing binary CTF?

[grizzled cedar]

Thanks!

[unborn yoke]

Hi everyone.... I've been tired of running checksec, readelf, objdump, strings, ldd one by one during pwn challenges and cross-referencing everything manually. So i wrote a tool called seg. It generates a full binary recon report in one command, protections, dangerous functions, PLT/GOT, libc info, everything structured.

Basically, feed the report to any llm and get your exploit.

Like: seg analyze ./<binary> --json

Source at: https://github.com/pwnwriter/seg

Nothing wrong sending it here, just that this channel can get flooded. If you want your tool to get recognized, #resources-tools is probably the better chanel to put it in.

[sturdy thistle]

i want to

[zinc dagger]

yeah i want to try it too

[sturdy thistle]

but i want to use local models

no cloud

[zinc dagger]

yes me too lol though i dont have lot of capacity in my laptop

[onyx wadi]

local models are shit for that anyways --- needs frontier model

just use codex with gpt 5.5 and point it at things

its magic

[silver forge]

I have been playing with local models. Anything under 32B parameters simply can't analyze complex real world software at all, and that's the minimum below which you get only shit. At around 100B most common vulnerabilities are detected somewhat reliably. It's not as much about frontier models, but about the amount of parameters. The real issue there is likely the amount of attention heads which scales with parameter amount.

[onyx wadi]

frontier can do blinded --- if i want to replicate that with local llm i'd probably have to spend half a house worth of compute

[silver forge]

If you can run the Deepseek V4 locally, which requires 800 gigabytes of VRAM, it will detect a lot of stuff reliably

[onyx wadi]

imho for sec if one model detects 70% and the other detects 90% the one with 70% is not ok its plain useless

with things like coding its totally different

[silver forge]

Yeah 70 % means you get so much noise it's hard to find the diamonds

[onyx wadi]

no you miss things someone with a smarter thing would find --- which leaves doors open for people scanning with something better

could argue its even partially harmful cuz it gives you a false sense of security

[zinc dagger]

how much would it cost to have a reliable one on clooud seems like that gonna be costly

[silver forge]

Sure. 32B is like beginner. around 50-64B you have teh average code monkey that has been taught about specific vujlnerabilities. at round 100B you start finding novel stuff

[onyx wadi]

the cheapest you can get are the openai pro and claude max plans because they are subsidized af

you get like 2k+++ worth inference for 200$ a month if you max them

[silver forge]

yeah they are not billing the cost of using the service, not even near

[onyx wadi]

(openai is more generous though and often resets limits so i'd personally recommend that but ymmv)

[supple plume]

@umbral epoch sorcery is an amazing machine bro I admire it, crazy work

[silver forge]

I've been playing mostly with Qwen. It's surprisingly capable model. But at under 32B it is just a moron. After that point it starts being actually useful in finding relatively simple vulnerabilities. And that's where my hardware limits are, sadly.

[onyx wadi]

yeah i've sorta given up the hardware route also with how volatile everything is now

don't wanna throw a big chunk of money on sth that might be useless in a year

[zinc dagger]

i'm really too broke to pay 200 a month

[onyx wadi]

you get a fair deal with the 20$ subs aswell

[silver forge]

me neither. I'd love to run some 100-200B model, but paying 10k euros for hardware to run that... ehhh

[onyx wadi]

idt you get even good performance with 10

[zinc dagger]

that also why i thought doing it locally so i could have it without paying anything but yeah

[onyx wadi]

unless you have tiny context

[silver forge]

the best options are several mac minis for apple's implementation and running in parallel, or the new AMD cpus with no GPU but lots of RAM and that shared with the neural accelerator. going GPU route is financial suicide.

[onyx wadi]

or you page a lot but then performance is in gutter

[silver forge]

in china they buy used RTX 2080 cards for 0-10 USD, and replace the memory chips to house 32-64 gigs, and flash the ROMs to support it... the processor being slow, but having lots of memory, fixing the primary bottleneck for llms. then they resell those modified cards...

I'd buy one instantly, but can't find one to buy from the western world

[onyx wadi]

yeah ig cheapest is 2x m4 ultra 256 gb now ---- but 512gb vram doesn't let you run the more powerful open weight things aswell and thats already like 15k

[silver forge]

in my experience going to optimized quant, for example int8 from fp16, hurts MUCH less than halving the parameter amount.

because for something like source code analysis the issue is the amount of attention heads, not as much the amount of parameters

analyzing a piece of actual software may require 32+ attention heads to track everything. a small model simply doesn't have that, and it becomes a bottle neck

I did some source code analysis and just to find something like sql injection from a code that is not a single function but split in several, and including several abstractino layers, instantly rquires 10-15 attention heads, or the amount of parameters and thinking doesn't really matter anymore, since things get lost

[onyx wadi]

hmm i think the local models are really better suited for issues where you have a "smart enough" and not "as smart as possible"

I just wish I was an oligarch, I could invest in hardware I am 100% sure will be irrelevant in 3 years

[onyx wadi]

[scenic maple]

[silver forge]

oh

[fierce vale]

turboquant is some form of optimal quantisation of the models as far as I understood it

[scenic maple]

A quantitative analyst ("quant") in computer science uses advanced mathematics, statistics, and programming to analyze financial markets, price securities, and manage risk, primarily working in hedge funds, investment banks, and fintech firms. They develop algorithmic models for trading strategies and build high-performance software infrastructure, with key roles including Researchers, Traders, and Developers

if your av ISNT detecting your notes without an exception you have a shitty av or you have shitty notes lmao

[cunning tulip]

[crimson valley]

[high cobalt]

Second option sounds like a cat dictatorship ... I wonder what they use for a mysterious death?

[rough mirage]

[supple plume]

@silk copper

[molten bobcat]

[rough mirage]

[scenic maple]

usually with the tongue

https://tenor.com/view/rigby-freaky-cat-cat-meme-tongue-out-gif-1492882876567450372

[rough mirage]

is it low maintenance then?

[crimson valley]

Xdd

[supple plume]

Pretty much

[rough mirage]

ofc u have to feed them and all

[supple plume]

You set up one of these

They cover their shit

You can have an automatic feeder

Refill it once a month

[rough mirage]

can't they shit in my toilet? 😭

[supple plume]

Same with the water

[supple plume]

They can be trained but they rater do it in the litterbox

[rough mirage]

idk what that is

[rough mirage]

ah yeah, makes sense. how often do you wash it out?

[high cobalt]

An automatic feeder

[supple plume]

A machine that stores and gives them rations of food

[upbeat tangle]

Thursday evening, beer and chili nuts

[supple plume]

It's also automatic it cleans itself

[rough mirage]

just googled it
I wish I had one of those myself

[crimson valley]

My cats are always dirty hhaha

[rough mirage]

a litterbox??

[supple plume]

Yes

The cats are fully automated

[rough mirage]

I don't get it, how do u not wash the litterbox?

[crimson valley]

They are always fighting in the street

[supple plume]

The litter absorvs the waste and the machine rotates sometimes filtering it, no bad smell or nothing

[stable tiger]

im traumatized

[scenic maple]

what else is there to do

[rough mirage]

bro got the cats from the hood

[supple plume]

Like once a month I disassemble and washa bit tho

[stable tiger]

@obtuse fern

[crimson valley]

[rough mirage]

[stable tiger]

Automation is key
