[fickle kernel]

It’s not terrible, but pretty bad

[terse dirge]

real ones use surrealdb

[rose onyx]

Yeah but mongodb is web scale ready

[terse dirge]

I tried containerizing mongodb and had no success for some reason

[fickle kernel]

https://youtu.be/b2F-DItXtZs?is=DdEtTd1qZBZs7vby

[terse dirge]

specifically with kubernetes

but docker works fine idk

[rose onyx]

You know me ❤️

[terse dirge]

how the hell is it acid compliant then??

[silver forge]

mongodb scales pretty much as well as a bucket full of warm snot

[terse dirge]

I thought acid compliance was atomic immediate writes not that crap where it's "oh I'll write later"

[silver forge]

mongodb, especially when clustered is consistent later, if you are lucky

not to bash mongodb too much. it offers a light weight solution for document databases. it has a nice api. the implementation is just... trash

[vital linden]

but have you tried the harvester?

[terse dirge]

a bit

[vital linden]

but have you triedit

you should really try it

[terse dirge]

I haven't messed with the VM orchestration features yet just set it up

[vital linden]

have you tried kubernetes

you should install elastic

fuck wazuh

[terse dirge]

I'll probably get it up on a PI 4

[vital linden]

or something idk

[terse dirge]

nah, I'm on gigabit so that's a bad idea

[vital linden]

[terse dirge]

longhorn works best on at least 10 gig

elastishit requires a bunch of disk writes so that over gigabit is a nightmare

[silver forge]

I have some 50 terabytes of logs in opensearch

[terse dirge]

yeah but I don't think opensearch is a full drop in replacement since it's a fork of elastic 7 or somethin

[silver forge]

it is full drop-in, if all you need is "elasticsearch", not the newer separate add-ons

[terse dirge]

yeah I'd rather not have the rest of the stack on version 2 or whatever

I'd rather have bleeding edge for the ELK stack or as close to as bleeding edge as possible

[silver forge]

they made some substantial improvements in 2.x, not bumping the version... so it doesn't really compare

[fickle kernel]

15 years ago it was not

[silver forge]

for example, there's new improved compression, and they have removed a few of the performance bottlenecks elastic reserved for new major releases

so opensearch is more or less upto date, and third party apps are simply compatible

[terse dirge]

yeah I'm gonna need as good performance as possible on stuff that's older than 2018

some of the stuff I've managed is older than myself

stuff that doesn't have uefi

[silver forge]

opensearch has improved overall performance 20-50% depending on your use case within the 2.x line, not bumping the major version number... it has not been in maintenance, it has been in development.

[terse dirge]

meh it's still java meaning it'll take 15+ minutes to start

[silver forge]

about 15 seconds usually

[terse dirge]

uhh not elastic right now, it takes 10+ minutes to start on baremetal

[silver forge]

my opensearch production cluster starts in about 15 seconds. there's 100 gigs of memory configured, and some 50 terabytes of data with >100 billion events in the database

not that I start it often.. it's 24/7/365 online

but single nodes, yeah

[terse dirge]

yeah I'm on servers that probably have 100 gigs but server is 10+ years old so it really wouldn't make a difference. The DB is also being stored over NFS on gigabit and I can't do much about it because of how the network designed

if anything making the switch to opensearch wouldn't be worth it tbh

[silver forge]

in the last 10+ years have had 2 days of downtime. and 90 % of that was a major core network failure when there was nothing producing logs either

[fickle kernel]

You should go work for github to pump up their numbers

[silver forge]

and I upgraded the cluster from elasticsearch to opensearch 100% online, too

[terse dirge]

fr

you using their cloud cluster crap?

oh nvm you said opensearch

[silver forge]

no, it's all my custom stuff. I've had to develop quite a few admin scripts and stuff...

for example, archival of least used logs into more compressed storage with about 30:1 compression ratio...

I'm thinking about revamping the user access management soon, which will be a major task. at this moment only admins can modify ACLs, but I think allowing a manager responsible for a system to manage access to the logs of that system is better in the long run. takes a bit doing however.

[gilded fern]

[west venture]

Is the VPN down?

[terse dirge]

https://status.hackthebox.com

[high cobalt]

The problem I have with using VMs is that at work our developers have to work on 10 or so services. Every service has it's own vm and database. Well, now you have to set up and maintain 30+ VMs with patches, Debian upgrades etc

And I am not even talking about redundancy here, just a vm for the service running in docker, a database vm and also qa systems to test ...

[silver forge]

They probably shouldn't work like that

[high cobalt]

No, shouldn't. But I have no better idea how we should. If you delegate maintaining the Infra you have to coordinate downtimes and service dependencies. Which will suck. Staying like this sucks. Usings Kubernetes would suck, too

If you have an idea though what wouldn't suck for a small team I would hapily suggest them to change the process 😄

[silver forge]

you'd either get some container orchestration done, or you cram most services in one VM. it's bad for prduction needs, and "incorrect", but would solve operational needs for development.

[terse dirge]

Kubernetes is the solution

Rke2 makes it easy with it being batteries included

Same with k3s

[frosty thistle]

qemu from cli is the solution ദ്ദി◝ ⩊ ◜.ᐟ

[terse dirge]

Rancher has a good UI to make it not suck

[tardy compass]

bro who needs patches, personally i let the russians ssh in

[terse dirge]

https://www.rancher.com/

[silver forge]

if most of the dependencies are stable, and don't require changes all the time, and developers work least with them - they jsut have to work - cram all dependencies into one VM, and have the other one where the developer actually works to another one. ugly but works.

[terse dirge]

Containers are pretty good for that tbh, they're not as heavy as VMs

[silver forge]

uh, I gave claude code instructions.. it has been thinking now for 15 minutes, nothing done yet

[high cobalt]

Yeah, kinda agree. The problem is just that our server infra guys said "nah it's overkill though" and network also is kinda sceptical about it probably bc. then we essentially bypass our dc firewall and need to implement microsegmentation in the cluster ... and when devs begin to manage firewall policies it can quickly get bad ...

[terse dirge]

It'd be better to have something overkill because you won't have to put in as much elbow grease to scale

https://www.rancher.com/

[terse dirge]

I've used this and have had barely any bad experiences with it

My only complaint is mixing manifests and helm charts but that's a skill issue tbh

And finalizers on some pods

[high cobalt]

Imean scale from users perspective is not a problem. Like our only customers are internal employees and around 15k students max

[meager kernel]

@terse dirge can you send some good resources for programming
Like learning programming, youtubers for it
Anything you have

[high cobalt]

And sure as hell we are nowhere near 1000rqps

[meager kernel]

You usually have resources for this stuff

[terse dirge]

How the hell are you not already running kubernetes or some complicated architecture in the cloud???!!

[terse dirge]

Uhhhhh just look on GitHub I guess

[fickle kernel]

Just run docker compose

[meager kernel]

.

Ok

[terse dirge]

What specific language?

[meager kernel]

Any
Python, for example

What would you recommend for python

[high cobalt]

Of course we do ... problem is where do you need to run docker compose? Oh yes, a VM ...

[terse dirge]

For what?

Like Active directory?

[silver forge]

uh I have Claude talking about itself, how it discusses stuff with Claude, in 3rd person

[meager kernel]

LEARNING PYTHON PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE

[silver forge]

a cage

[terse dirge]

Idk find projects you wanna do and do them that's how I would do it

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/python/python-programming-language-tutorial/

[fickle kernel]

Once you need 30 vms for your workloads, then yeah, most likely easier to just go with kubernetes or docker swarm

[high cobalt]

Bc. 1. As I said it's small because the traffic itself is low. 2. Because we are a public institution, we kinda have to run on prem because data protection and burocracy and also the infra was always on prem so it would not be an easy task to migrate to cloud. It's slowly shifting towards state offered datacenters/cloud, but it's still a slow process

[fickle kernel]

But if you have 1500 users, I dont see why you need 30 vms

[supple plume]

https://tenor.com/view/dragged-in-the-dark-falling-dxfts-cya-gif-430051430266658361

[fickle kernel]

Ah its 15k

[high cobalt]

I mean we could probably run a single docker compose node with all the services. The problem is if we needed to update the host or if it fails every service would fail, too ...

[high cobalt]

As I said just having the people doesn't really correlate to traffic for us. We are mostly maintaining a self service portal so students and employees can access various IT services from our university. Some students don't even know they have access to IT Services, some use them extensively ... its weird man

[terse dirge]

A single docker compose...? 💀 Check out k3s

K3s is lightweight kubernetes and I'm sure you can configure persistent volumes with longhorn out of the box

[fickle kernel]

Then its not even 15k concurrent users I assume

[high cobalt]

No it's not

Nowhere near.

Our normal website is only 10req/s

😂

Backends kinda similar

[silver forge]

10 req/s and you are already 100x over-engineered

[fickle kernel]

So you run like 30 vms I understand correctly coz you run diff components?

On diff vms?

[high cobalt]

Yeah

[silver forge]

my lemonade stand requires a landing strip, too

[fickle kernel]

Or why you need 30, seems an awful lot for something which has 10 req/s. my laptop can do that

[terse dirge]

Does your lemonade have kubernetes in it?

[silver forge]

it's bare metal

[terse dirge]

Yummers

Bare metal kubernetes is based af

[fickle kernel]

I did manage a bare metal kube cluster once, everyone hated it

Everybody gangsta until worker node complains about hardware quotas and shit like that

[terse dirge]

Was it harvester HCI or open shift red hat?

[silver forge]

see Ivan, first you take a Windows server. then you enable HyperVM. install RHEL server into it. Enable VT-X passthrough, and on top of the RHEL you install Openshift. There you will install a k8 farm, and host your containers. See, in soviet russia containers run you.

[terse dirge]

I've never tried open shift redhat so I can't speak on that

Or whatever red hats HCI solution is

[zenith tide]

Hi guys

[high cobalt]

The problem is basically deployment and because boss doesn't want one single point of failure ... one big vm would resource wise be enough for our services, but yeah they don't want to do that because risky ... also Database. I suggested running a single database server, but then it was this concern and as I suggested using a HA setup then it was "but that's overengineered and nobody in the team could manage this except maybe you"

[fickle kernel]

It was our dev cluster we got from infra, we had to manage ourselves, I don’t exactly remember what it was, it’s been quite a while

[silver forge]

I've run services for similar amount of users from a single server with no issues. we just had some saturdays a service break to update & fix everything

[terse dirge]

It was probably whatever redhat had at the time then or I think octo (whatever VMware had for their HCI solution)

[fickle kernel]

You could have redundancy, just run 3 docker compose and load balancing… seperate the db and shit, it’s a bit of work, but still sounds like overkill

[silver forge]

... 40 minutes later Claude is still thinking, and not a single working line of code produced

[fickle kernel]

Ask it to think faster

[meager kernel]

using up all your tokens for the day

[high cobalt]

Yeah I am not happy at all with the situation ... it's just a bit too much work for too few people and rigid structures while still wanting to be agile etc. etc.

[fickle kernel]

Like an enthusiastic, underpaid junior wanting to break into cyber security

[silver forge]

i have the exact specs of the password but i still can't crack it 😭

i don't understand where im going wrong with it

[vast lava]

No machine today?

[tiny heron]

Nope

[silver forge]

are you feeding it through the correct key derivation function? there are several available at container creation time

[turbid bloom]

I was given about 26 files and asked to identify the VeraCrypt container among them. I found it cuz it had no file extensions in the name and had exactly 250 MB size. The hint said the password was the SHA 256 hash of the same filename and extension.

Since there was no file exntension, I hashed the filename exactly.

[silver forge]

are we helping you do a job application test

[stone marsh]

what did AI tell you?

[silver forge]

there must be extra step. usually veracrypt isn't used with something like sha256... PDBKF2 or similar is used to derivate the actual encryption key. might be the password fed to key derivation function is the hex string of theSHA256

[stone marsh]

But it sounds like if they told you that you need an extension then well, you need the extension

[turbid bloom]

Can I DM you?

[turbid bloom]

hell nah dw

It was just a random task given in my uni. Up to anyone who can solve it. Just for practice lol

I just wanna make an impression on my profs

So I'm tryna solve it.

[turbid bloom]

I'm pretty sure veracrypt containers don't have one?

[silver forge]

I'd feed the SHA256 string into an actually correct key derivation function

or the sha256 API of said key derivation function (also exists)

Most likely the volume uses PBKDF2-HMAC and you have to feed the SHA256 HMAC into it correctly.

[turbid bloom]

Could I DM you about it?

I can show the exact stuff.

hi ☕

[scenic maple]

node has a point tho why learn 2 diff languages for web dev

[turbid bloom]

damn

[stone marsh]

Not sure if you were talking to me lol. But leptos is a rust+WASM framework that allows you create some really interesting applications with a mix of SSR and CSR via the use of Island architecture. Super cumbersome to do but fast, type safe and fairly security concious

[ornate oracle]

yes not saying node is bad but it's much more practical when you compare it to php / js ecosystem

[scenic maple]

doesnt astro does the same?

[scenic maple]

any reason to go with leptos itself?

[ornate oracle]

Yeah bro I was just curious what languages you code in

[turbid bloom]

where would i find said key derivative function tho?

[stone marsh]

Mainly just wanted to use rust, I feel really less inclined to use PHP, JS, Python, or even Go really in the age of AI.

[turbid bloom]

they said the password for the container was the SHA 256 hash of the file name including the extension

[stone marsh]

It just happens to have a modern architecture and the use of Rust+WASM allows for very fast and efficient applications when built correctly

[stone marsh]

I have used a bit of everything over the years, started with PHP, C++ and Bash, done a handful of little python projects and Go projects.

Played about with C# a little, did a little of brain fuck, JS I just well hate

[ornate oracle]

That's the way c++ is always good to make some projects in it betters the perspective on the code and how you build stuff, php is standart ( my first scripting language so ❤️ ) but amaizing dude rust I never personally used

[turbid goblet]

how do i download more deditated wam to victim machine so linpeas run faster

I like rust, it has a great compiler, has a lot of modern features that makes it familiar, while also attempting to fix issues that others languages have, and when you start looking into tooling you will probably see that all of the fastest tools are rust tools. But it is also a pain to use, and if it didn't also allow me to flex on people/make for interesting interview discussions I would probably use something else just to get my projects going quicker

[ornate oracle]

Defenitely gotta flex on them ops and haters HHAHAHAH

show em the GUNS

[stone marsh]

But it is fine, once I am done going to have a sick blog and project portfolio website to set myself a part from all the other security consultants

And only the CSS/Design system is going to be AI

[ornate oracle]

That's a wise move dude send me updates tho 🙂

ah css design can be done AI is a bit "drugged" when doing styling but it's not like horrible

honest advice keep it simple monochromatic and easy life

[stone marsh]

Yeah I am just not a web designer myself and a lot of my CSS/old websites looked a tad dated. It did a fairly good job taking my designs, choices and logo in to consideration while creating the system, so I am overall happy with it, but it does have a few AI-isms that I need to fix because they are a bit blatant

Is for example what the basic nav looks like with my logo that a real human created

[ornate oracle]

I mean not the end of the world for a start it's probs more than good to establish the "concept" of the site

Capitalize the menu item text and just finish the site you can "polish" it later

[scenic maple]

altho i am curious what is wasm used for

in this

[azure remnant]

lets play

[stone marsh]

WASM is essentially just a translation service to get the interactivity without writing javascript. So for example, that boilerplate leptos button only uses WASM here:

/// Renders the home page of your application.
#[island]
fn HomePage() -> impl IntoView {
    // Creates a reactive value to update the button
    let count = RwSignal::new(0);
    let on_click = move |_| *count.write() += 1;

    view! {
        <h1>"Welcome to Leptos!"</h1>
        <button on:click=on_click>"Click Me: " {count}</button>
    }
}```

[silver forge]

lol

the web is such a mistake

we should just erase it

[high cobalt]

The web would be a better place if we had we components and some form of template language from the beginning ...

[jagged storm]

It would be better with no scripting at all

[stone marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/mundo-feliz-onetreehsll-world-if-gif-14071235670792471304

Is how we would be living if javascript was never created

[jagged storm]

I imagine we will see a resurgence of old tech, with how shitty things are getting

IRC revival will be glorious

[stone marsh]

I would be so happy to see IRC back in action

[high cobalt]

Tbh webapps aren't the worst, it's a better developer experience to build uis then traditional uis

[scenic maple]

how does it modify dom tho

[stone marsh]

Don't get me started on how Cheng Zhao ruined desktop applications

[high cobalt]

Cheng who?

[stone marsh]

Cheng Zhao, he created Electron to create the Atom editor at Github

[silver forge]

try qt designer for an app, and revise your comment

[scenic maple]

electron creator

formerly known as atom shell

lets people write desktop apps in javascript

[exotic pendant]

😄

[silver forge]

atoms hell

[high cobalt]

You wanna say you guys don't want your chatapp to use 10 gigs of ram because it runs a full on bleated browser? But that's technical advancement!

[scenic maple]

[exotic pendant]

did 2 pints of ice cream for breakfast today

[turbid goblet]

is eating icecream the way of finding vulns

[jagged storm]

I like how you have water as a drink, to watch your figure

[exotic pendant]

size reference

Also it's protein ice cream

😄

[high cobalt]

Fair point, but the last time I tried to style a button it was meh ... also, does it support components so for example building a custom button and reusing the design in another app? Or are you talking about Qt Quick and not Qt Widgets?

[unique pilot]

is that fruity pebbles at the bottom

[exotic pendant]

yep

[stone marsh]

So from my understanding when you build a project that section will be turned into wasm, a wasm binary will get downloaded into the browser when you load the app so then when you interact with it, it will run the logic/update the dom. In this case by changing the number when you click the bytton

[exotic pendant]

protein powder - 260 cal 50g protein
Almond milk - 60 cal
Fruity pebbles - 190 cal 55g carbs
chocolate syrup - ~210 cals 15g fat 18g carbs

[unique pilot]

actually sounds like a good move

prob mixes good

[turbid goblet]

shit i was gonna go to the gym but then i got high

do i go anyway

[rancid swallow]

[meager kernel]

my attention span is fucked nowadays from playing all the competitive shooters and scrolling on youtube shorts

[rancid swallow]

[maiden anvil]

this makes me want to get back into FPS

[meager kernel]

you shouldnt

[maiden anvil]

because I was absolutely the slide-cancelling quickscoping dolphin diving piece of garbage that pisses everybody off

@zealous charm wygd if I quit hacking and join FaZe Clan?

[rancid swallow]

I was gonna play RoN , ended up still working on a project ...its 9PM already

[zealous charm]

I’ll quit and join you. We can move into a hacker/streamer mansion

[meager kernel]

im gonna quit gaming for a week

[maiden anvil]

[high cobalt]

That's why I play singleplayer

No competitors and rage

[rancid swallow]

same , peace

SP or Co-op Games

[silver forge]

I have played lately the Arena Breakout Infinite. It's kind of competitive PVP game. A bit rough cough... But I'm taking it chill even I get sometimes wiped

[rancid swallow]

ah yeah that game is filled with hardcore players

[silver forge]

It's so silly to see a squad of 4 men get wiped out coming around a corner

By single actually good player

[rancid swallow]

2-3 of my online friends play it very regularly (almost daily i think) ...and they're pretty well experienced in AB pc and phone both

[silver forge]

I got yesterday my first actually POG snipe though... I'm not much of shooter from distance... But I tried it.. And it seems very satisfactory when it succeeds. One single bullet, fully armored guy, one kill.

[rancid swallow]

demn

lastly i played BF6 in multiplayer shooters

[silver forge]

Battle Field has exquisite assets. Shame they have been running the game down with poor gameplay design

[rancid swallow]

ya

enjoyed BF1 and 3,4 the most and ofc bad company ..who can forget that

[silver forge]

Oh Bad Company games were fun

Since them they have been trying to make BF the COD, which has alienated a lot of players, and they have no idea how to run a game...

BF had more distinct personality, and especially conquest mode which COD has no answer to. But no, they had to commit resources into stupid stuff like the gun master.

[rancid swallow]

ikr

[silver forge]

conquest is great because you can play it chill on the edges.. or go into the hot spots.. in the same mode. you can alternate even during a match.

also conquest is the only mode where the support roles actually support anything

[rancid swallow]

Almost a 1km headshot from BF6

BF6 maps are smaller compared to older ones

[silver forge]

I can't recall what my record was, but probably closer to 2km... but in some of the older games

[rancid swallow]

Nice

[silver forge]

the one with islands on the sea.. was it on BF3

[rancid swallow]

Even I don't remember it's been a while

[silver forge]

the arena breakout infinite is really rough because you >99% lose your equiped gear when you get wiped. there's no insurance or anything. the only case where you get some back is that your teammates bring your gear out

[rancid swallow]

Wish if they would revive the Medal Of Honor tho ...man , it was so good too

[rancid swallow]

yeah

[molten bobcat]

Made some needed edits to my blog post so there's working links that make sense now lol

[silver forge]

I have been experimenting building trash guns well, trying to get really cheap guns work outside their ordinary performance area... it is kind of possible

[rancid swallow]

Medal of Honor: Above & Beyond on VR was fun tho

[rancid swallow]

ah yes

[silver forge]

M14 for example. very bad gun stock. modify it enough it can single tap enemies and be near silent. still costs less than many of the really good guns with stock configuration.

[rancid swallow]

You need at least a $10,000 computer

[still vault]

Uh this is a 10k computer when it’s fully built.

That was just 3 components.

[iron galleon]

Let's make it $20k then

You’re just messing with me. 😔

Idk all this computer stuff I just wanna know if that’s what I should be buying

some people hack with like $300 computers lmao

it's good to have the power you have

you have more than enough

[robust hinge]

Are you new to computers in general

[rancid swallow]

[silver forge]

you might want to have 1kW PSU because the larger ones run more efficiently.. their efficiency lowers once you go past 50% usage. however it's only couple percentages, and most gaming righs really need only 500-600W in reality

Don't be stressed by not knowing get comfortable with it it's not that scary start learning

[still vault]

Do you need to know all the component stuff to be good at cyber security

[molten bobcat]

Well yeah

[red ore]

all I can see is the shopify stuff, so htb would know the vendor and have a contact email. Which is why I'm asking for a contact

[zealous charm]

I’m surviving. Hacking fun stuff when I have time, hacking work stuff when I have to
