13 years old elite hacker hacks into the FBI and gets hired 🤯
That's rare nowadays
Yes, unless you sign an agreement beforehand, such as with a bug bounty program.
Otherwise, prison.
You're so right! 👍
via phishing or.. 🤔
he found vulnerable cPanel 🤯
damn bro's an elite 1337 haxxor for knowing how to compile the public exploit they cloned from github.. hire them immediately!!
Your personal experience =/= what will occur for everyone
I agreed.
Ye ye
compile?
bro have you ever heard of... PYTHON? 🐍 🚀
ohhh the infamous hacker interpreting language, Wow
It's as if interpreted languages don't compile to byte code.
compiling an exploit
Lulz.
at runtime
yeah might be
but well either way you're right
I don’t like green eggs and ham
not all!
Sigh
I have to
Always hold myself back
From taking response actions
Because what I consider a valid justification for a response action pisses people off to no end lmao
If only they were aware of their contract they signed that allows me to do this :/
But no, that's too much, that's expecting grown men and women to read and understand a few pieces of paper
How silly of me.
I love it when clients leave 6 phone numbers to contact in the event of an incident
tik tok era
And then they don't answer any of them and actively hang up on me 🙂
make a script that calls each one in order repeatedly until somebody replies
Okay cool, my immediate first thought is to isolate all Linux servers in your environment since no one wants to fuckin do any work
are you implying that we reached an era of digital illiteracy 
That'll grind everything to a fucking screeching halt and force people to talk to me 🙂
I swear, no one has time for anything until the car crashes and they're sent into the windshield without a seatbelt
being so devoted to technology to an extent that you cant comprehend multiple papers
i mean you are doing your job
No I'm just suggesting people are stupid
after detection comes containment
Yep
They signed a contract that says I'm authorized to secure the environment if they're unavailable or unreachable
So then I slammed the Linux environment shut because they're morons who don't answer their phones on a work day
But alas I won't be doing that
Because they value keeping a clients business more than they value the security of the client
After all, a business generating revenue is more important than everything else 🙂
I was told that something is “going to happen” and I could either find a way to work with engineering or lay down on the tracks
… implication that they wouldn’t even look back at the blood smeared track

Yeah I'm
Fully aware most corporations do not value human life
So I don't value them at all
That's the way
seems reasonable
stealing from walmart is a moral good actually
Who played arkhamn city
I heard Lebron played it
If I can make at least one person either briefly a little confused or go '..what?' then I have won the day.
Maybe they were peeing
🙁
They emailed back pretty quickly
Guess everybody hates talking on the phone lol
Who wants to hear clouds battle music for the day

any hacking today?
yes i had to hire a guy from iceland

so you decided to become the pervert super hacker in this timeline. i see you. so you had something for hashida...
this is a gardening channel
Oh its not food network ?

Then even if I become guru, I’ll not get an orange name

Your certs greed will consume ur orange colour 
Non only work
Eat lot of oranges and see
That’s not fair 
U can probably leave the server and come back to lose those cert roles
Do we all have the seasons things now for ever season?
What
how?
Already done, I see Azo when closing my eyes now
I only have silver and holo, what sorcery is this?
Try unlinking your htb/discord then relink
Nah I'll lose sticky holo 💀
He is just too damn nerdy
Ig htb have personal problems with you guys 
why they removed the copy fail website xD
Did you use the DNS issue verification tool? https://isitdns.com/
The ultimate DNS troubleshooting tool. Think it might be DNS? It probably is! It's always DNS.
I run pihole
If I don't have DNS resolution, there is only one place I check
And I don't have DNS resolution unless pihole is up
I run it in a VM, bridged network, and I just point my DNS to pihole
Can you guys suggest some good resources or books to analise javascript or read javascript.
It never ceases to amaze me how people keep trying to pipe curl to bash a dangerous exploit on their host systems
Build apps without AI
Yeah but i need to understand the syntax and functions.
Documentation & experimentation
Unsure on books, never really benefitted from a tech book tbh
If your goal is to understand, don't dwell learning syntax and function, just go and use em quickly
yoo
@grok is this true
Wassup
In the stone ages 5 years ago, people actually had to write code by themselves
Imagine
im finally unbanned here after 4 month
What did you do? 😭
People forgot what coding was when Ai came out 
I've posted writeups about the active machines😭
and I didnt even know they were still active, because it was after the season had ended, and I thought they r retired
they banned me even from the site lol
Haha man I mean that's kind of misinterpretation now worried tho you came back
Im trying😭
Man this week is like the worst of it only six modules are left in my CPTS path
And now it's like I'm burned out but so close to finish still
But but
naah
Don't push yourself. If you need time away from it, take it
woah this site is genius
thanks rat !!

Then there's this guilt type shit hitting
Nah. The exam doesn't care how fast you finished the modules - only how much you understand them. Pushing through burnout can cause you to miss details.
Slow and steady wins the race!
You are right on this
Maybe I should stop for 2-3 days
that’s what she said
retired machines have "writeups available" near their name hold on
very similar
Main question is can we even talk about this?
No, you're risking a ban.
Deleted the shit
ITS SO LONG
i thought we got rid of the mods with the sticks up their asses
It was not worth it tbh
i see
You got this. Little by little till its all over with
Give yourself breaks and time
It took me 6 months
so did osep lol
It's been 2 months and I have completed 23 modules
Thats nuts
can u get a job with cpts bc im doing ccna and cpts at the same time
You can take a break
But now I have hit my threshold
Yeahhh
Yes you can but its more rarely sought after than oscp because of recognition
my place looks for people with cpts
for ip testing at least
if you have rf experience though that is weighed more heavily than ip
im taking some time before i take the exam bc i only want to have to take it once
on the grind
Gl man you probably will have to take it twice
shi
Make sure to do the cpts path of boxes
alr thanks
Yeah, that's a pretty rough pace. It took me ~3 months, with occasional 2-3 day breaks.
did you have prior experience?
Mhmm
Ah, well.. I was going at it pretty much every day.
I see i see
I had done the OSCP course, beforehand (not the cert, though), but it was also the shit PDF course before they updated it.
nice i did oscp oswa and was working as a pentester when i started cpts
I'm going to start the full labs after I complete this path tracks and all and some pro labs as well it's best to be over prepared
Actually, I'd suggest against material outside of the course, personally.
That's mandatory
Ahh track mb
The path is already so dense that there's plenty that you can't keep track of. In addition to that, the exam will never go outside the course.
Prolabs and such can help you develop methodology, but they'll also expose you to outside content. You do not want to be following some rabbit hole in the middle of your exam lol
Okay now this is confusing I've read almost everywhere that people say zephyr and dante help to get a grip on the CPTS exam
I'm glad I blocked this dude ages ago
It's never anything funny or interesting lmao
Different people have different views on this. I personally say that you can't go wrong if you just review the course material. The last module in the course is also basically a mini-prolab.
same
Okay okay but I will probably take pro labs cause it's just the confidence that fucks me up
Just remember that the exam is 100% rooted in course content, and it will keep you grounded. If the method was taught in the course, it's fair game.
Okayy buddy noted
Armstrong claimed he'd seen engineers "use AI to ship in days what used to take a team weeks" and that non-technical teams in the company are "shipping production code,"```
'non-technical teams shipping production code' lmao
I believe this bubble is going to pop up soon now
Hahaha now I noticed that
Sleep deficit
Nothing will prepare you
Nothing
It’s unlike anything I’ve ever done, but doing boxes, pro labs, etc can help you build methodologies. But they have helped me little to none in making it any “easier”
It’s still a lot
It’s still confusing, but it’s a lot of fun
Yeahh that's the part I want
It’s also not been “hard”?
One thing that can help is doing the final module, 'Attacking Enterprise Networks' blind, and writing a report on it as you go, so you get a real feeling of the exam.
I won’t say anymore though
Yupp I've thought the same
Pro labs are better than AEN
After completing the CPTS track boxes I will attempt AEN blind
I would do it first, as it'll be a better gauge for how well you retained the information in the path.
AEN is guided even if blind and unrealistic
this is why it's suggested to do AEN blind, as in not reading the questions or the text of the module
just go straight for highest domain privileges
We'll see
AEN is guided even if blind and unrealistic
Cool environment for testing but not excellent
Still making a loooooot of notes in the AD Attacks module
did you grab the cheatsheet this time? 
Not yet. But I have noticed the button 😂 I am still doing my own notes first though. Also I am just a few pages into (LLMNR poisoning), also skipping the ecercises for now because I am more efficient doing it in my own homelab for now
What a cute insanity ...
What a sussy emoji ... xD
Not at all 
considering dipping in cyanide wbu
Trying to figure out the best way to be homeless
I got a playbook
I got experience 
it might envolve some felonies nothing too major
.... ahhh yeah, sure not 👀
damn homie
I am here if you need food and water
I just need a job tbh
Best way to [not] be homeless?
Or the best way to be homeless [in comfort]?
😄
In comfort
I get a DM: “bro, what can you hack?” Me: “Nothing”
bro, what you can hack?
The Gibson
When they ask me similar things I say idk, I got prohacker idk how I just ask AI and do everything it tells me to do
its the truth
Get quality clothing, merino wool underwear/undershirt.
Developer a reliable hygiene routine.
Learn how to cook, get basic cooking equipment.
"Ur mom"
bro what😭

Bro wants to be comfortably homeless - theres your answer 😄
You mean cook in a burning trashcan though I guess?
Budget is 21.50$
If you want to. You'll probably die pretty quickly, tho
2 ez
From what?
I mean you could just use it to heat up your pan though I guess?
Doesn't mean I want to try it though, just saying ... 😂
Sleepy day
Could just use a wood fire, like humans did for the last 45,000 yrs
Busy wondering why clients lack critical thinking skills
How do you went from hacker to noob?
not telling my secrets
You'll never find out, because you think
Btw how did some of you get Red and Blue Team roles??
They're channel access roles
Secret
Oh lol
No hints are allowed for the duration of the event. Once the event is over, feel free to share solutions.
And I thought it was something you just give yourself
I don't think the commands exist at the moment
It was
I gave them to myself
Huh, I don't have them anymore
I've left before so that's prolly why
I don't have the roles but still see the channels, thats why I was wondering
Yeh they just opened the channels to everyone
Can't be worse than IT support though ...
I worked it too
It is worse
With IT support, I understand why my clients and the people I'm helping need help
They're not technical staff.
I don't expect them to
However.
All of my clients are the respective CISOs and security teams of their orgs
so why the fuck are they so dumb
CISO doesnt need to be smart
welcome to GRC
Sure doesn't lol
....... Oh okay, nvm thats definitely worse
They're the fall guy after the impending breach and stock price drop
It's that one gumball sketch
CISO = high pay role, but need to squirrel away money cause you will be expected to fall on your sword
Gumball: There. This one is to close without saving, this one is to install malware, and the last one is to erase all your work. This should streamline your output and make you ten times more productive at being self-destructive.
Nicole: Oh, please! I'm not that bad!
Gumball: True, you're not that bad. You're the WORST! You're the reason your IT...
They are just guys doing checkboxes on paper and telling everyone they were in tech
This video is just how it feels
Tbh it support gets access to do much shit to troubleshoot in most orgs
They are the most valuable targets
Every IT support team I worked on / with was the wild west
Less so in Big Corp's, once company is 15k+ employee's IT is a web of ticket shuffling and bureaucracy.
Coz infra guys think they are above that, so give them whatever, they pick up whatever they dont want do deal with
Funny how a kids show seems to have more competence in it than it itself sometimes ...

Futurama's creators have PHDs lmao
Why?
You can't dance 😂???
nah bruh im too twink for that
oh?
discord flatpak is broken
the current workaround on my machine is to install it and keep it running until poweroff because it won't start again once closed
cba to investigate further
thanks for coming to my ted talk
thanks for giving us that talk, gr audience claps
I still can't really get over the fact that LLMNR poisoning is just "Hey" "Hey Bro, I am fr the server you were looking for. Trust me bro, just give me your passwors" "Okay, here you go"
And enabled by default
Yeah worst part. Also you can't disable nbt-NS via GPO, WTF?!

The attack is so boring 😂
And such a common and easy way to succeed
My first real pentest was phish into responder, into domain admin
Like 45 minutes
Oh wow, lol
phishing is still really common and exploited
Now I am scared to ask about defences at my workplace ...
uk cybersecurity agency is so cringe ong
The reason it worked so well is that an old sysadmin (who left the company years prior) had all kinds of scripts and such that ran under his old account, so they couldn't disable the account, because nobody even knew where the stuff was and it would kill the company. It made some calls to shares that no longer exist.
Urgh
Got the hashes of half the IT team, the financial department, several execs, and the old sysadmin
And they did... not have secure passwords.
Its crazy you still have to even fight IT people to use strong passwords ...
On my second day, I warned my manager about the password policy. She was very happy about the length requirement, but I pointed out that the length was just the right size for Companyname1
Which is what more than half of the users were using
xD
is it just me or is the Answering box with HTB wanky
like i hate having the right answer to a question but i have to type it the EXACT way they want it
you can buy me food too right
Yeah sometimes it's also not exactly clear what they mean
hello!
lol
I decided to ask some questions… found a lot of problems
I have avoided looking too hard at this particular area… because I got a bad vibe
And it turns out my instincts are good
Microsoft?
Haha… nope
I work for the opposite of a Microsoft
But anyway… no different than any other company
People taking shortcuts because the system was set up to allow it
I won’t do X because it’s hard… and requesting an exemption is easy
yeah thats how people get layed off
Nowadays if people can’t do it in a few weeks, I wonder if they are just bad at prioritizing…
Like, “oh, it would take too long to send logs to the SIEM”
Seriously…
Its just a sense of urgency people can work way faster than they think they can
Well sir, no more exceptions from me
they either don't want to, don't believe in themselves or get lazu
My response to all requests, “nope, fix it”
level check
Testing, 1, 2?
yo, what have u guys been using for notes during machines and pentests?
htb general chat
Lol
Most here would recommend obsidian
i just send all my notes
nah i deleted all my notes
Obsidian
im raw dogging it
On a serious note I use Notion
hehe pun
Claude, what am I doing here?
Obsidian is my daily journal… my projects, my reports, everything
I set up claude to use pandocs to export my md files to google docs when I need to share with non-technical folk
/dynamic-resolution
ohhh no way!
I've been putting off this module simply because of this, lol. So glad I came in here to ask. Thank you @tall talon
It should be the default lol
I wish lol
I set a bash alias for it
Good idea, lol
That actually didn't work, still couldn't see the panel bar. I'm in the browser (attack box), as Vmware is way too laggy on my machine. However, /f did work
It’s quiet here tonight… where are all the larpers who were here on the weekend?
Uhh, /dynamic-resolution should definitely work
Weekend warriors
in this server since 2018 damn
hello
Wow! Fast response time

Doing good?
doing aight, hbu
?
Hi, is there anyone from support here? I need a little help.
It works in the sense that I can resize the window, but after messing with it for awhile, I still could not see the bottom panel bar
Hey all, is there a dedicated channel to asking for help with HTB academy courses? I'm stuck and I'm not sure it's my fault
( It probably is )
What are you stuck on? I'm a brainlet, but might be able to help
Attacking Authentication Mechanisms : Algorithm confusion.
follow the steps to the letter and I can't seem to get it working right. Cyberchef doesnt behave as described either
Thank you 🙂
I'm thinking of taking silver annual htb academy sub instead of my new gpu, but i'm scared of giving up, i have a severe depression, every project i started in the last 10 years i given up in short times, it's been 10 days since i practice htb almost daily, but i'm scared of taking it and losing 450euros because my whole ass just give up again 
then do monthly
Yes but monthly doesn't give exam voucher sadly
Just do it, you are your own change
guys i just learned nmap
tier 1 ragebait
let a man learn at his own pace bro
I guess launching a command and understanding it are different
well the rage bait worked apparently
ez
port by port ?
think about the vouchers later you want to learn or you just want the certifactes?
Just script it no worries
learn
But yeah generally port scanning happens port by port
i mean yeah but thats funny

then dont overrthink it about vouchers really
real hackers ask the sys admins about the open ports 
Yeah, you're right, and actually since buying modules with cubes unlock it for life, it's less pressure for me anyway 
Thank you for subscribing to HTB Academy!
You can

A bro gifted Grok a free NFT and used it to steal $174,000. 🙌🏻
Grok, the AI built by xAI, has a publicly labeled onchain wallet on Base. Anyone can see it on Basescan.
An attacker used Morse code to trick Grok via @bankrbot into translating a command that triggered a transfer of $200,000 worth of $DRB tokens to his private wallet before dumping the tokens and deactivating his account.
An attacker linked to the address ilhamrafli.base.eth spotted something. Grok's wallet had limited transfer capability on its own.
So the attacker gifted Grok's wallet a Bankr Club Membership NFT.
That gift was not generosity. It was a key.
The NFT unlocked Bankr's full toolset inside Grok's agent including the ability to sign and execute transfers autonomously.
Then the attacker sent Grok a crafted prompt. The exact message was deleted before anyone could screenshot it.
I don't know how true this is, I saw it on a post somewhere
Anyone messed with C++26 reflection?
I made a generic finite state machine using it, checks if handlers, states, events, and initial state are all defined properly at compile time also
Cool
its pretty sick but very very alien to the rest of C++
I don't mess with c++ unless I have to for Diablo 2 modding
I don't mess with Texas
It’s good. I’m going to be making lots of friends this week… no more exceptions from security standards.
Previous regime designed a rubber stamp system to allow dev teams off the hook.
Had a long day… nearly 12 hours
Happy Cinco de Mayo
Alcohol is illegal in many parts of the world.
It's a bad drug. Drugs are bad, mmmkay?
😄
More for me! 🔥🔥
at the end of the day arent we just llms too
Science can't replicate the human brain
Yet
LLMs are cool but not a human brain that can reason and think. They're just prediction based.
It's not a bad tequila tbh I liked it. The stuff at the cactuscon after-party was stronger imo
Alcohol messes you up man
Alcohol is a potent neurotoxin that directly damages, shrinks, and kills brain cells, leading to cognitive impairment and structural brain changes.

There are things that protect the brain, and are more fun, with some nice visions 🙂
@rancid swallow What's up, mang?
Hiya!
Nothing much ..I have no work in the office ...and I came to the office today just coz some sort of snacks party is supposed to be there

Ok. I think I'm fairly responsible about my drinking tbh
You're good. Alcohol is definitely a easily abusable substance tbh
I'm thinking about what other useful plugins I could make for my bot
#general message I got this many plugins so far
Ideas?
If it's so bad why does my shaking stop when I drink it?
Hey guys. I am a few days from getting my bachelor's degree in Information Technology. What is the best path to getting job ready by the end of summer? Certifications and all to be apart of a red team within a company??
Yeah true that
I can't stand being around a drunk
I am a ful stack and AI engineer. plz let me know if you are looking for a developer.
Build a time machine and go back pre-2020
Huh
No one hires off just certs in the post COVID world
Just not true lol
Just more fearmongering drek
Logically it's not possible for one to have knowledge of all job fields in all countries at all times in order to be able to make such a bold statement
Hey if you're gonna have me blocked don't respond to me please
It's internet, you can't tell random douche bags how to act 
gl with that 
are you kidding me?
the internet is where all the experts gather
I believe 100% of what I see on the internet
I believe 200% of what inwikt says because I copy it down into my life coaching notes
ill sue you if you pass along my life coaching protips to other people
ill drop a diss track on you
I would never
partially just hoping you never say “copy this recursively” as I’ll simply blow up my hard drive
my brain's call stack is allocated only for what's immediately in front of me
instruction unclear, computer box full of frogs
therefore recursion would cook me too
this is the way of a typical internet denizen
This
I'm an expert in expertise
Hey chat, just introducing myself. i'm a few weeks into some tryhackme courses. 40 years old stepping into my dream industry from the oilfield. Ill do my best to ask smart questions, Thank you to all those that paved the way. 🙂
i'm an expert in non-expertise and I disagree

welcome welcome
ty ty how did you get into the field? how far along are ya?
I hated security so now I'm a sysadmin
But I still have to deal with it
Besides reverse engineering I try not to touch it
I'm a security analyst and I plan on doing it for the rest of my life
It's been almost 3 years now
Well, at least your message wasn't ChatGPT generated. We see those too, and they get laughed out immediately. Now, get to learning!
i never realized there were fields that were truly bottomless when it comes to information and application. i've never felt so... dumb lol, well maybe when i was 19
lol back to class, thank you for the warm welcome
There's also an other whole industry, mostly based around Los Angeles I think, which is literally bottomless 
It's the most liberating feeling, to recognize that the field you have interest in is miles deep and miles wide
man HTB explains so much more stuff lolll

elaborate?
they have much more content and its more deep
welcome to this corner of the world :)
Welcome in.
I know u
You do huh ?
i like tryhackme for the basics. and it's all about building my foundation. i'll do as many reps as it takes for this to stick.
htb is awesome for the hands on think hard
@kind bramble I stated at tryhackme as well
Strong foundations carry
Ya ...so deep that I'm able to test Overthrone and improvise/debug if needed
It's fun because once you're aware of the fundamentals and have them memorized you can spot when others are faking lol

i have kali set up and dialed in. Now i'm realizing i really love parrot OS and kali for some reason hates playng sound.
Morning

@ornate ibex hello
using the VMbon their respective sites. Kali i have on my daily driver laptop.
..vmbon?
from thm
LOL
hiya tejas
Me today in office
@summer urchin yea and Argus
using the VM on their respective sites.
that too
I'm not sure what you mean by respective sites
My name was taken on htb
Kali is not a suitable daily driver rho
tryhackme has virtual machines you can fire up directly from their site
Ahh
@kind bramble what field are you aiming for in cyber?
So HTBs is called pwnbox, it's an online version of Kali and it costs money to use
Which is why I was gonna recommend you pick up a hypervisor and run the VMs yourself, they're fairly lightweight
traitor
I'm just sleepy!!
parrot is suitable as a daily driver just stay away from that kali
ahhh i see, i will check it out
😛
I don't recommend daily driving anything pentest related
I use them as screwdrivers when I need them
@molten bobcat what do you recommend as a daily?
Whatever is stable and fits your preference
There's lots of flavors of Linux that are made to be daily desktops
you can use Rufus to create a bootable parrot os/pwnbox linux stick and just pop that bad boy in and if anything goes wrong just restart
honestly... i thought i was gonna aim for red teaming, but the more i look at building tools and systems. i friggin love it and my mind works with it.
Lol why did I know you would say this lol

Or we can just get a hypervisor and an image like everyone else lol
running on usb stick is so much better performance tho
can i ask why stay away from kali?? genuinely curious.
Oh I do that too nowadays
im kidding about kali, you can use it if you want it's also debian just like parrot os
Some people are brand loyalists lol
just different repos, mostly the same but parrot os is maintained by the developers here at HTB
Your brand of pop tarts sucks!
Well my career just started last year ...I still need money to get more certs and experience as well
@rancid swallow what do you do ?
whats yout favorite part of the job??
Working as an SWE
lol i'm stoked to talk to people that are into this, i try to talk to my friends and they just glaze over
Favorite part of my job is being able to solve tricky cases
hahahahahaha
I can't go home tho
-# coz I'm usually already at home (WFH)
thats actually awesome
Remote work ?.
Hybrid but mostly remote
I like that
yessss, i dream of home work, i've spent my entire life working remote
Morning folks
Like today after almost 3 weeks I came to the office
-# just coz there's some meetup and free snacks party

Lol free snacks are always good
working away from home for extended duration
this discord is waaaay better than tryhackme as well.... jus sayin
Oh yes lol
Yos agreed
Thm discord is failing lol
thm is a gooner cave
lmfaooo
Thm is failing 

Once my subscription runs out im dipping
Mine did, i dipped n came here
thm used to be good
Get banned instead
thats my bad lol
Is okay
Lol damn
Sedly no regional prices for HTB ...so it's expensive for me ..not after 1-2 months tho probably
/bin/bash -c "THM"
@ivory mason who tf are you
Sharron, probably
sharron is carron 😉
@rancid swallow you live across the pond ?
Someones who's discord account was created last fuckin month lmao
That's the phishing bait now, hacker goth chicks
LOL
You've been warned grx
yes.
just send the phishign link already moment
that's exactly why I feel comfortable publicly addressing this dummy
No one bothers making gay hacker phishing bait..
Wot?
what did i read
I gotchu bruv
WHERE'S THE INCLUSION
hahahaha
You live over seas lol ?
AK here
yup
I will bring this up to our red team next time I speak to them 
It took me a moment cuz I'm like.. there's no country with that code..
I live in a nice amazing country that I absolutely don't wanna live in but is cheap af.
SEA
people ,mix em up all the time xD
They're AR
yeah, googled that now lol
Im from AZ
dont see too many people from alaska
Das Arizona
Yer
Demn
were behind in every technological way imaginable up here, it's crazy
If you see corn, know that I am with you 
i could corner the market in the city i live in because there is ZERO cybersecurity awareness here
its terrifying
Just wait until your friends and family think you're a criminal or some other ridiculous thing
Damn I thought south Dakota was bad for cyber lol
It is fine, AI will be our security now
Friends just think I'm a dork and my mom just thinks I work with computers lol
"hey can you hcak my ex pls"
I thought Dakota was generally good for cyber. Some of their unis are in SFS
both north and south I mean
I tried to explain my job to someone at bjj once and I think he came to the conclusion that I work in a scam call centre
there is people in dakotas?
She's not wrong, I do work with computers
ehhh im 40 and pretty upstanding, if i ever did anything sus i'd prolly get a pass lmao
Lol
lions
A relative told me to "make sure they don't make you hack real people"
@lime trout hack smarter guy is
There may be moments when you feel other people have advanced farther and are younger, this just be how things are and your journey is equally as valid
years ago but it still haunts me to this day 

just memein
I figured lol
mount rushmore
I looked at jobs there before
its something i heavily considered when walking into this field seriously. 20 years in the oilfield all over the world roughnecking and rigging. I always thought i was too dumb to do this. I know my strengths and weaknesses. I'm slow, but i'm consistent. I cant wait to learn all the things 😉
You'll do fine
Oil rigging is a hell of a career
Most of the people we tell to get bent are children or scammers lol
oh it is thats no lie
I know a lot of people who have switched from oil/gas to security and are doing remarkably well
@kind bramble my uncle worked dor Exxon for like 40 years
For some reason, its a weird trend lol. From that specific field into this specific field and they all do well
Would you say it's a.. pipeline?
Guess its cross skills etc
I'm not in the field either, this is all just a hobby.
I'm glad to see other blue collar workers here tho
respect
OT security is scary shit
or rather lack there of
Yea OT is cooked
Yeah. There was a cyberattack on a nuclear power plant in India once and the attacker got domain admin, iirc. They could've chose to blow up a reactor if they had wanted to.
I work in the energy sector and it’s scary how little the businesses actually care
And in other places too, like France
although that wasnt a nuclear plant
but scary nevertheless
meowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
:3
good wbu?
Hi zumi
Meanwhile jobs at my place
-# 0-2yr exp entry/junior level (as per labelled by them)

i am very chinese
hewwo sec hru :3
Yeah no
i just watched the STUXNET documentary OT like operational technology right?
nah im well
I'd rather be a ransomware operator
+1
Yep
Stuxnet was wild
STUXNET is CRAAAAZYYYY
Stuxnet funny
I don't need work experience for this anyway
I hope that's what people start doing though
Thats a lot of random skills for a job that requires knowing nmap

Ikrr
i heard about someone getting interviewed for a pentesting position who didnt know a single switch of nmap
...no fkn way...
Holy hell
I bet they had OSCP, GCIH, CRTO and CISSP
NSA Red Teamer
Tbf for my first/trainee position I couldnt adequately explain what XSS was 
i've hired lots of kids that didnt know anything. It's a little different in a technical role xD
that's rough, any idea of how?
Bro I need a fucking job
thats fine. xss can be hard to understand at first and i still slip up on it compared to csrf
software tools are abstract that people willfully skip learning them in depth cause they want to be Knight Raiders or whatever
huge folly
I want to become a homeless drifter as a job
if you think of XSS as javascript injection it makes more sense
like those AI bros that want to run into agentic work but dont know a thing about classical ML
I just couldnt remember what it was. Remembered like two seconds out of the interview
XSS is a bad name
for me I know what everything is and how it works, I just cant put it into words accurately enough lol
What are u guys up to?
if I could mind connect with you it would be better
crusader kings 3
thats normal
i just describe it a javascript injection ^^
like xss. i have no definition
makes WAY More sense
skynet moment
so what do you think AI is gonna do for the field?? i'm actually excited to work with it. I think it's an insane force multiplier if you know what you're doing.
Trying to get my brain working so that I can get some early report writing done. You?
aight got some work
Imma vent from here for a while
@ornate ibex chatting and learning
I guess you could say "due to lack of proper sanitization, the attacker is able to inject arbitrary elements and scripts into the page"
hurt my brain
use words
I would say that in an interview but I would also spend a whole 60 seconds coming up with that definition
which wouldnt look too good
what i like to do is dumb the fuck down everything
"You click things, you type things, things break and you get cookies"
make it so dumb a caveman (me) can understand
hired
ifunny detected, meme rejected
xss bad. you fix. everyone happy.


bruhhhhh
i like how this emoji is named
i forgot to eat
ts is da realeast thing
ever uttered here
i forgot what i was doing
@versed notch
nvm
i have questions that might offend some people
DONUT
send to dev null
I might have to 
understood
writing code at work to process stuff
wat r u learning
also this is a racist meme
lmk if u succeed
a way worse fate would be /dev/random
I thought so lol
i didnt notice it, until then
i wish there was some way to make dlls on linux without having to open visual studio
anyone know of any?
i just use a vm
mingw-gcc
yeah ^
how is that not the answer?
cool, i'll try that out ty. i never tried compiling dlls with it
me neither, I actually love VS
I feel you
I wanna build a rig
I'm in serious need of an upgrade
Asked claude to help me with it
Same. I'm getting a new laptop next month and also a bunch of RAM sticks lol
in this economy, ram sticks
I legit got a "Make RAM at home" youtube vid recommended hahaha
Nah it's an interpretation of how I use A.I to build "errythang"
yes, memory is non negotiable. i dont care which brand the laptop is or what graphics card or what processor, I just want memory 🤣
Something like this
I've been saving some
fair but it used racist imagery, i believe your intentions were pure
monies
I also have like 8 old computers at home anyway running windows XP so im gonna steal their RAM
With this I can technically, add another GPU
but that will be outside my budget.
5090 when
Nah, if I'm building so much with first hand stuff, I don't want a second component in it with uncertainity of failure.
besides who can tell how much used it is
do GPUs degrade the same way storage does?
or are you worried about neglect?
Any electronic component will undergo wear and tear due to thermal and other stress
but the span might vary
the other day my CPU short circuited lol
damn
...
nah, something in the power supply unit was blown
a fuse or similar
I got it repaired
yarg but its slow
lucky
blowing psu is crazy work
its because my home's electrical unit had a big ass wire which was apparently degrading from years
one day it finally blew
and took my spikebuster with it
