idk afaik they get housing, food, wives

[molten bobcat]

When the rules don't apply to you

[meager kernel]

I think I'll report it

[scenic maple]

i dunno tbh but freedom is a must for me

[mortal forge]

they are really treated well by the regime

[molten bobcat]

It's just

Y'know

Built on the broken bodies of innocent people

[mortal forge]

i think they also travel, to china kekw

[manic anvil]

i mean then again , the freedom we talking about only normal people dont get them there

[molten bobcat]

So as long as you're fine with every cushioned step you take being at the expense of someone else lol

[scenic maple]

yeah but i read online they constantly live in fear cause someday someone will say he doesnt like the big leader as much

and ur cooked

[meager kernel]

Where is goblin

@eternal mango my friend

I need you

[mortal forge]

just dont talk politics and enjoy what you get i guess that’s your best move with the cards you’re dealt

or deflect

fuck

[scenic maple]

even if you avoid you still get in trouble

you see when its life and death

[hollow portal]

You are forced to sit so long in front of the computer and if you do one mistake its over for you

[scenic maple]

the fear and anxiety never goes

[mortal forge]

they don’t kill you if you make a mistake lol

they male mistakes i don’t think they get slimed by kim

[upbeat tangle]

I have a hard time believing a regime would rule for hundreds of years if that was their strategy

[mortal forge]

good hackers are expensive and difficult to train

[manic anvil]

didnt a company asked a north korean to insult Kim so they can hire him as a pentester?

[mortal forge]

you can’t just kill them and get a brand new one

[scenic maple]

yeah thats true but if kim doesnt like u then ur prolly dead

he has enough money to make 10 more

[molten bobcat]

I'm tired

[mortal forge]

why wouldn’t he like you just be 1337 and cool

[hollow portal]

Nah, not killing immediately. But still rough conditions

[manic anvil]

he already making 10 more in fact

[scenic maple]

because he is kim the dictator?

[mortal forge]

yeah that definitely

[mortal forge]

i bet he’s a chill guy

[manic anvil]

why settle for 10 hackers when you can have 100 or 1000

[scenic maple]

[molten bobcat]

Most chill guys aren't dictators

[manic anvil]

the CIA once found out he spent a month playing video games and winning lol

[upbeat tangle]

So if you make living conditions too rough and too bad for a human being, they will end up not doing what you want them to do. They will just LIE FLAT and not do anything at all. Because whats the point?

[manic anvil]

and like the whole month he was busy playing

[mortal forge]

i don’t trust anything they claim

[scenic maple]

i mean sure maybe some things are western propaganda but too much is bad abt him

[mortal forge]

that could be us

[scenic maple]

but again i am no dicator so i cant judge

i mean its the CIA but its just funny to believe

[supple plume]

You know what would make sense

A percentage of completion

[supple plume]

From 0 to 100 %

[mortal forge]

sending me 100k

[jagged storm]

The new rank system basically works like this

[supple plume]

The old one too

Yet both are confusing

[jagged storm]

The old one only counted active, though.

[supple plume]

You just need a line

___ ______. ___ ___ __

[jagged storm]

and it only counted active at a specific point in time

[supple plume]

Well imagine a line here

Jees it looks awful

A line from 0 to 100 is what I tried to say

[stone marsh]

Think all systems should really work in conjunction. One that shows your top capabilities in a season, one that is ephemeral that shows how you are doing that season, and then one that shows how consistent you are with all the content.

[jagged storm]

Legacy rank information isn't useful though, since you don't know when a person got it, or what the comparison is to current content.

[stone marsh]

If all we have are the next exp ranks and someone is just trying to grind it like valorant in a pay to play system is just a tad gross.

[molten bobcat]

neat

[jagged storm]

Someone who got omniscient 7 years ago probably couldn't clear pro hacker, these days.

[jagged storm]

It's only gross if you give ranks more value than they have.

[stone marsh]

That is why all three work together. One is a top rank achievement in a season, one is for that specific season and then the new exp for consistency. Elite/pro/omniscient just takes a back seat but still available on the profile

[scenic maple]

buying bitcoin in 2012

[jagged storm]

But a rank without a time frame has literally no useful information.

[stone marsh]

Htb can push the latest season rank or the exp rank as dominant while alloying someone to show how well they completed their top season

[stone marsh]

It is HTB you expect the information to be useful?

[molten bobcat]

I'm gonna have Sherlock writeups on me blog

[jagged storm]

That's a significantly higher amount of data to accumulate, without a reasonable amount of value.

[stone marsh]

But seriously, they can just date it or name the season it was achieved etc. It has more value like that then the exp ranking system on its own

[stone marsh]

Htb makes enough money, they can afford an extra column in their DB

[jagged storm]

None of these have real value. At least the new ranking system gives you an idea how far along someone is in the HTB platform.

[stone marsh]

But even that has very little value. I will be the top rank in like three levels and I am shit

[jagged storm]

Okay? But so what?

[stone marsh]

That high exp because of wasting money on academy means as much as omniscient because they completed 4 boxes when HTB just started

[jagged storm]

You're only master, rank, too - it takes more exp per level, to level. I plotted the graph (up to 100) from the math that emma gave us:

[molten bobcat]

Yo

[mortal forge]

i remember omniscients in 2019 were all legitimately good and knowledgeable

many grandmasturs i see are just

bad

[stone marsh]

Well yes, that is how rankings usually work

[molten bobcat]

[jagged storm]

Well yes, but you're a lot longer away from finishing the ranks than you think.

on a side note

just buy mullvad and pay monero

[latent oak]

It’s like trying to make water not wet

[mortal forge]

gg ezpz

on a side side note

just use tor

[frail turtle]

mullvad, owned by tor, which in turn is owned by the us gov

[scenic maple]

guys

what if we make a data center on the border

make 2 pcs from the 2 countries in the same network

and then pivot like that

so technically its not another country

[mortal forge]

unless your threat model is five eyes tor is perfectly fine

[frail turtle]

the border for the us is 100 miles in width

[latent oak]

Eh?

[mortal forge]

even if tor is “owned by them” (partially incorrect) they won’t waste time and money to deanonymize your ahh

[frail turtle]

the us border is 100 miles in width

[jagged storm]

imagine believing the feds have anything better to do

[latent oak]

It is not

[frail turtle]

i never recommended anyone use a vpn

well regular people anyway

[mortal forge]

do you know how much it costs to target a specific tor user and deanonymize them?

[jagged storm]

unfortunately yes, and a lot less than you think.

[mortal forge]

unless you are a ‘p or some sort of bad criminal no one will even notice you

[latent oak]

The border is 6 meters wide

[frail turtle]

$5?

[mortal forge]

pls enlighten me

[latent oak]

You’re speaking of the border patrol “enforcement zone” inside of US…

As a Canadian I could not give a fuck about that

[frigid mountain]

This. Border patrol technically has jurisdiction up to 100 miles inside the US border.

[jagged storm]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_641A

[mortal forge]

this has nothing to do with tor

the fact that NSA controls part of the backbone of the internet is irrelevant for us

[jagged storm]

There is already correlative monitoring going on before you even hit the tor node.

[mortal forge]

i assume people want privacy they will target you if you are fucking up bad

[mortal forge]

the amount of data is humongous and they delete it often, you have to commit crime for them to even bother

its not breaking the encryption

You just have to own enough exits (the feds do) to have a likely chance to catch you.

how was the silk road guy caught

[toxic rock]

He did a mistake

[scenic maple]

he was stupid

[scenic maple]

many

[toxic rock]

Exactly

[mortal forge]

there’s no exit node if you don’t leave the tor network :p

[frail turtle]

but that guy lived in tor for eons

its a miracle that a stack overflow username

was how they caught him

[scenic maple]

he used the same email

it was a lot of clues

and at the end he was logged in as admin

on a shop

[mortal forge]

no bro he was actually very fucking dumb that guy

[jagged storm]

That was also before they ramped up the idea to just build out a ton of exit nodes, and capture all the traffic.

im gonna google for a case where this worked it just sounds like urban legends

so with htb, how does this noob, skript kiddie, hacker, pro hacker ect work? is there a way to see what level/thing relates to what rank?

[latent oak]

[latent oak]

Nope

Nobody here will break into your university server

[untold lodge]

unless its htb i doubt anyone gonna help you

[untold lodge]

they aint saying to get into the uni server, but into a server for uni

i think

[hard sedge]

no i mean i can do it i have a virtural machiene i just cnanot find a way through

[mortal forge]

send 2 XMR to the address i will give you ok?

[scenic maple]

[frail turtle]

rules even say no help with school assignments

[mortal forge]

send 2 XMR

[toxic rock]

A staff told me that those ranks don’t have value anymore there gonna change the hole ranking systems

[scenic maple]

name one of them after me and enever delete

aw thas so sad

thats faurm although i can screenshare and show that the environment is made for that specific assignment

[latent oak]

i wont name them that would be opsec failure

nice try tho

will soemthing replace it?

[mortal forge]

they will never tell you

there’s a secrecy thing in court too i can’t recall its name

[frail turtle]

Okay anyways my point ia that if you want to remain anonymous just use tor, dont bother with vpn

[mortal forge]

it allows them to not disclose techniques

[mortal forge]

this is true

[zealous charm]

eggs.. eggs... EXTERMINATE

[mortal forge]

as long as your threat model is not five eyes

[frail turtle]

VPNs by law regardless have to disclose your personal info

[mortal forge]

not all

[frail turtle]

If law enforcement asks

[mortal forge]

not if they don’t collect your data in the first place

Do not hack

you can get mullvad with monero and with no KYC

[frail turtle]

You can you know its 1800 years old

[mortal forge]

they claim to not log IPs and traffic either

[supple plume]

Roman aqueduct

[mortal forge]

i dont trust mullvad tho

[frail turtle]

Holy moly

[iron galleon]

y

[supple plume]

There was a sign there explaining how old and the whereabouts

[mortal forge]

because i dont trust them lol and LE could subpoena mullvad’s ISP instead of themselves

[frail turtle]

I thought monero was a cryptocoin

[supple plume]

Isn't it?

[hollow portal]

I mean they have some credibility. Considering how they handled that one incident

[mortal forge]

i know, they are the most trusted

but i don’t see a point

in putting all my sec in a centralized provider

just use tor

or make a botnet of residential devices and use them as proxies

[frail turtle]

Well a VPN is mostly intended to keep people out of a network not...include them into one.

[jagged storm]

Using tor just makes it easier to feds to know who to watch.

[frail turtle]

But you know sales and money are driven by what people want...which is to get access to things they cant.

[silver forge]

https://tenor.com/view/rat-attack-rat-attack-have-at-thee-gif-11648161592664583090

[jagged storm]

The key is to blend in - not to try to hide.

[mortal forge]

tor is better than mullvad for that no?

tor has more users

[jagged storm]

No, because you have a huge 'I USE TOR' sign on your traffic, that the feds see.

[mortal forge]

better than a huge I USE MULLVAD sign

[jagged storm]

You should use neither.

[frail turtle]

Ofc tor has more users its crammed to infinity with ghost websites that are scams

[mortal forge]

residential devices botnet?

sounds good?

[frail turtle]

The best way to hide

[hollow portal]

Is to use TempleOS

[mortal forge]

connect with 5g with some eSIM hotspot from throwaway device lets go

[frail turtle]

Is use someone else's network to do bad things, make sure theres no cameras

[mortal forge]

and we can buy 5grams of weed safely

[mortal forge]

just use a directional antenna and steal their wifi from 2 miles away

[stone marsh]

It is 2026, just get a medical canabis prescription and pay 3 x the price

[frail turtle]

The same way people tap another person's electricity

[mortal forge]

a bunch of romanian scammers did this + a botnet as proxies and they still got busted

[frail turtle]

Thats the best way to hidem

[mortal forge]

what should i use then?

[frail turtle]

Like running up the electric bill but neighbor doesnt realize theyre paying for 2 homes jnstead of one

[hollow portal]

There will be cameras somewhere, also it narrows down your location. Unless you fly to another country no?

[frail turtle]

Use public wifi, wear a mask rto prorect you from coronavirus

it’s easier

i cant come up with a valid alternative to tor to maximize anonymity tbh

[stone marsh]

Anonymity is just a losing battle

[mortal forge]

against a nation state yeah

[frail turtle]

I know a guy who has mo identity

[stone marsh]

May as well not bother and hope whatever government that lords over you doesn't target you for any particularly nefarious reason

then i remember my username is tied to my identity

you can’t dox me if i dox myself

AI demoralization campaigns are psyops
Learn for the sake of learning if you enjoy the subject. The AI hype is disgusting and anti-human in so many ways

[molten bobcat]

"it's a force multiplier" okay but 10 times 0 is still.. 0

I also think its one huge hype. But this copy-fail cve found by ai made me question my sanity

[molten bobcat]

A broken clock can be right twice a day

Being correct consistently is the true test

[untold fiber]

Its definitely not just hype and is capable of discovering non trivial vulnerabilities

[proper dragon]

Exactly this; quality input still matters, and only quality thinking produces quality input. The more you refine your skills the more your capability grows with AI's rather than being eclipsed by it.

[untold fiber]

But this doesn't mean its replacing pentesters

[gaunt gale]

It's not as if he just said "Ai, find vuln", it was an assisted approach and they were already researching in that area it was found.

[echo violet]

True that, but it still worked at the end. But my soul is telling me, that it's wrong

[molten bobcat]

It's wrong the way people use it

It by itself

Not that bad

I hate what it's done to people

[echo violet]

I mean to learn its a great tool in my opinion. But not to create shitty slop code

[stone marsh]

AI is going to make pentesters and technical users better and faster, but if you use it to avoid becoming technical, then you wont survive imo

[thin field]

can't stop people from using it and progressing it best way to embrace it is become a better pentester

[molten bobcat]

And I also hate that the people selling it love snorting ketamine in their million dollar yachts like every other mega corpo fuck I hate so

Y'know

I am skeptical

does a pentester have to know multiple types of hacking pentesting or can they just specialize in one thing?

like for industry purposes?

[untold fiber]

Many specialize but I'd say you need to have at least moderate knowledge in a range

[gaunt gale]

ok gotcha ok thanks

[mortal forge]

a bit of fundamentals in general, then verticalize

[untold fiber]

TBH the majority of pentesters probably specialize in web, with the second most common thing probably being AD

[gaunt gale]

ok thanks

[mortal forge]

pwn is fun

poor career choice

too narrow of a job market, thats something I'd say you specialize in as you find roles that require it

[hollow portal]

Yes

[stone marsh]

From my experience companies try to make pentesters generalists and have a view that inf is "real pentesting" while app anyone can do

[azure remnant]

it will automatically build ?

[stone marsh]

But maybe that is because the orgs I have spoken to are the ones that make money sticking testers in datacentres in scotland for weeks at a time

between HTB Academy, PentesterLab, and bug bounties, isn't all the training you need for web kind of widely available?

like why is there not as much training for other stuff

[untold fiber]

I'd say there is an abundance of training on most of the popular topics yes

[mortal forge]

the security market is shit

[eternal mango]

Whyyyy not

[proper dragon]

how many hours straight do I need to listen to Clubbed to Death (matrix soundtrack) before I can act on networks without a computer?

[untold fiber]

The stuff that has less training available is typically the stuff that is technically more difficult to showcase, like SCADA

[gaunt gale]

but like it feels like there's enough web training to become an expert web hacking in two or three years for some people

[jagged storm]

Because there's a billion 'get rich quick' bug bounty influencers

[untold fiber]

I would agree

Well

Not expert

Being an "expert" would take longer than 2-3 years

and browsers tab on firefox stays open after I shot down UTM

Those probably contributed to the issue. Many kali tools haven't been updated in forever, so they have outdated libraries that they need

Yeah, it will keep running with what is in memory

Someone should come out with a distro named Touccan that’s just a better version of parrot

[analog perch]

which linux has no problem at all?

Context, the 555 timer IC was designed in 1971, 55 years ago. Tomorrow is 05/05 on the year of the 555's 55th year of existence

I just assumed everyone was Googling what a 555 IC was

Maybe I set my sights too high

/jk

[untold fiber]

I did google it lol

[fierce vale]

555 is like the first thing you learn about in electronics

make a beeper on breadboard

[terse dirge]

Void Linux is best Linux btw

[untold fiber]

I learned how to make circuits and do boolean logic in high school but never really went down the hardware route past that

[eternal mango]

Was gonna say, IC's came later

[median ivy]

almost as good as hannah montana linux

When I was last in education, the lab for pcb etching was a new addition

Circuit design, and understanding how to combine the simple operations of NAND gates in to a whole system

[median ivy]

schools always add the good stuff the moment you leave

[eternal mango]

Freaking good fun

Still have nightmares about never actually finishing in college

you can custom order riscv chips now too

[eternal mango]

You seen those LLM FPGA demos?

https://www.eejournal.com/article/fpgas-beating-gpus-at-llm-inference-say-what/

There's a live demo somewhere for one of them, will try to dig it out

[untold fiber]

I don't know much about hardware but makes sense honestly

[eternal mango]

Ok so it was Taalas

[untold fiber]

Bitcoin went the way o the ASIC and never turned back. I feel like inference might not be as clean but I can imagine how it could be superior

[eternal mango]

but I don't think their demo is out there any more

They were hitting like 50k/ts

Hi everyone, i need help on the seasonnal machine silentium, someone can help me ? i dont if its the wright place

[eternal mango]

With a publicly hosted model

[fierce vale]

I was thinking it must be low parameter numbers but it's MoE

[eternal mango]

It was insane

Yup, no low param or quant going on

[untold fiber]

#boxes but the help that can be given is very limited to small nudges as its active

[eternal mango]

Just pure hardware made for a singular purpose
