how many kids do you want buddy ghulam

[scenic maple]

I only want you buddy

[lavish sage]

no kids? :c

[scenic maple]

Maybe

[bronze lion]

U are getting adopted by him as his child

[scenic maple]

Kids are expensive

[lavish sage]

nooo i want to be his man not his child

they are indeed buddy

[bronze lion]

Not as much as a gf

[lavish sage]

false

kids are much more expensive

[scenic maple]

True

[lavish sage]

imagine going to a pediatrician man

[scenic maple]

but i feel like discussions like these are pointless cause none of us can afford

lets just be poor and stfu abt it

[lavish sage]

😔

[bronze lion]

Stop spitting out facts

[lavish sage]

i want kids tho buddy ghulam

can we have some

[bronze lion]

I want some money first guysss

[scenic maple]

you cant even have yourself buddy

how will you afford

[lavish sage]

we'll find a way

[bronze lion]

Everyone thinks the same

[scenic maple]

sometimes there is no way and everything is beyond human doing

[lavish sage]

every kid brings his own nourishment

[scenic maple]

i do agree

but you should be on some level before taking action

[zealous charm]

Hey everyone 👋
I’m a first year student and I’ve been thinking seriously about getting into cybersecurity.

Do you guys think it’s a good field if someone is looking at long-term financial stability and career growth?

[muted olive]

:(

[lavish sage]

at best its probably like a couple of grand

[muted olive]

u made me cry now

[scenic maple]

a few millions would put you in a great spot

at that point you can retire atleast where we live

[bronze lion]

How Abt we sell ur house and then split the profit?

[scenic maple]

bro i dont live in a massive mansion worth millions lmfao

[bronze lion]

Regardless

[scenic maple]

and i dont care abt million local currency

it woule need to be usd

[zealous charm]

They say you can withdraw 4% per year safely, so 2-2.5M would be 80-100k peryear. Probably good enough for most non-US retirements

[muted olive]

Uhhhh.
If you are really, really, genuinely interested, yeah.
Career growth? Definitely. Financial stability? Depends.
If you're in it just for the money? Definitely no.

[lavish sage]

mans got unplastered walls 😭

[scenic maple]

no i live in a relatively good home

but its not worth millions

[bronze lion]

How abr all of u sell ur houses and give me tht money

[lavish sage]

but it is to you?

[muted olive]

at least millions in local currency

[scenic maple]

i dont have houses*

[bronze lion]

In return I give u guys 1 icecream every single month

[scenic maple]

maybe

if life is still shit by the time i am 30

[raven raven]

That makes sense honestly.
But how do you know if you’re genuinely interested in cybersecurity or just attracted to the idea of it?

[scenic maple]

i will prolly give up

[muted olive]

hence the problem. world currency has become dependent on burger land

they got what they wanted :(

[gilded fern]

gogogogogolam71 the dedededededestroyer

[scenic maple]

cant do much when they just find reasons to invade places where alternative methods get discovered

but thats political anyways

[bronze lion]

Give up on what?

[scenic maple]

trying

[jagged storm]

This is a problem that a lot of people face, who come here. Hacking sounds cool and fun, but it also requires a ton of reading/research/patience/trial/error, and if you try to rush into it before knowing the basics, it's going to be an even harder climb, and even harder to tell if you washed out because you tried before you were ready, or if you just truly don't enjoy the material.

[bronze lion]

Trying to..?

[scenic maple]

getting out of the matrix

[bronze lion]

There is no matrix

There are just numerous ways to live

[muted olive]

Why dont you try it out and see? What I can say for sure is thats its an ultra competitive field. If you're in it long enough, and don't feel like quitting when you face difficulties (which you will), then you could consider moving into it.
To be blunt, your competition is people who literally eat and breathe this knowledge every day. If you can compete against them and if you can enjoy doing it, I say its a W. It shows that you're motivated enough to pursue this as something which you enjoy without any other motivations which are temporary and fleeting. Then I would say go for it.

But, tldr, try it out and see.

[scenic maple]

matrix as in having no freedom

working a 9 to 5 can be ok if your everyday doesnt look 1 to 1 same

but if you just become a robot doing the same thing over and over without nothing new or diff then its over

having some freedom is a human need

[bronze lion]

Freedom is something u give to urself

[scenic maple]

without that you will most likely fall into crippling depression and suck at the things you do anyways

[scenic maple]

say that to yourself
why dont you live the life you want because you cant

same goes for most people

[queen holly]

Hi guys do you know when and how we can get htb season rewards?

[muted olive]

become CEO

[jagged storm]

Season reward questions are the worst part about seasons.

[muted olive]

make your life the way you want

[scenic maple]

as if you can just become that

[muted olive]

real. also questions about when the next season starts

but tbf this season wasnt great anyway

[raven raven]

That’s the part that honestly scares me a bit .
How did you personally know that this field was actually for you and not just a temporary interest?

[queen holly]

Hahahaha thanks xd

[raven raven]

Yeah that actually makes a lot of sense.
I think social media kinda makes hacking look way more exciting and faster than it really is .

[queen holly]

And also are someone get CPTS? Is Ippsec's unofficial preperation youtube playlist is good enought?

[strange gulch]

bought vip+ for HTB Labs🥳

[bronze lion]

I can, cuz my dream is to live on a countryside for the rest of my life .
But WE just choose not to bcz we think that we need to take care of things before that

[jagged storm]

Yeah. There's a large difference between 'rockets are cool', and being a rocket scientist. Being an enthusiast about a subject is very different from being a professional in a subject. If you can't find a passion for the building blocks of pentesting, you probably can't find a passion for pentesting itself.

[muted olive]

For me, personally, I tried it out and found that I enjoyed it a lot. Then I realized that my only constraints are created by me and me alone and that nothing and no one could stop me from progressing on an exponential curve.
And also, I love technical knowledge and getting intimate with systems. So I felt it was a win scenario, and never looked back, up to the point where looking back on anything else and thinking "could I have done something differently" felt ludicrous.

also, everything rat said

[muted olive]

tbf lots of people have
from 0 to mega successful
so why cant you?

ez

same potential

same brain

[bronze lion]

It's not ez

Tf do u mean

[muted olive]

/s

[bronze lion]

Ez

[muted olive]

i was being facetious

[bronze lion]

[scenic maple]

exceptions are not examples

but we can try

[muted olive]

not everyone is loud about their success either

https://tenor.com/iT6gMPRoaCs.gif

telling ya

only constraint for anything is yourself

applies to anything

[bronze lion]

I can buy a van and some candies for a brilliant business idea

Anyone in?

[raven raven]

Honestly, that’s kinda how I feel too 😭
I genuinely wanna get into this field because I like the idea of sitting in front of my laptop, learning systems, solving problems, and doing something actually interesting instead of just mindless work.

My biggest problem right now is not knowing the right path/resources to follow.
Like I just want a proper beginner → intermediate roadmap so I can understand how to actually build skills step by step. Otherwise curiosity alone feels useless if you don’t know where to start.

[muted olive]

How are you going to deliver results for key stakeholders?

[bronze lion]

But the product I get for selling the candies are gonna be wayy more valuable

[regal sigil]

hi everyone 🙂

[jagged storm]

The rough reality of this is that pentesting isn't an entry-level profession. You're generally going to already need to have built up a sysadmin-level experience.

The academy does its best to give you a crash course, but it's going to be rough.

[muted olive]

There are plenty of resources to get in. If you can follow them based on your own passion, and not by force, I dont see why it wont work out

and yeah be prepared for tough times. If you can ride them out, you can fit perfectly

I am assuming you're a student? I could be wrong

[regal sigil]

just asking for a kind of similar advice here. i am 2 years in salesforce dev. and i absolutely hate it with guts.
any advice for me to get into sec? :/

[chrome tree]

Start now, go hard. Imposter syndrome is a pain, so go even harder

[muted olive]

I would say start learning on your own if you want. Same thing about passion applies, but if you can do that, a pivot will probably be feasible. if its starting from 0 in sec, it'll be harder, but possible

[elder lichen]

when season rewards come ?

[raven raven]

Yeah, I’m a first year student currently

Honestly, instead of overthinking the future too much, I feel like it’s better for me to just start something seriously
I just need proper guidance/resources from someone experienced.

Could you please tell me what path/resources you’d personally recommend for a complete beginner and how I should progress step by step, brother?

[muted olive]

and also, since you have exp working in another role, itll be easier

[regal sigil]

got it yeah!
just another stupid question and i would be gone.
how do I show credebility on resume for a job.

[muted olive]

There is a server I could invite you to which has resources and FAQs all ironed out for complete beginners.

[regal sigil]

aye sir, thank you.

[muted olive]

And for anyone else, no I'm not advertising, I felt it would be better than a screenshot or spamming links

[regal sigil]

me too please 🙂

[muted olive]

sure

[raven raven]

thanks brother ❤️

[jagged storm]

It depends on the job, but these days, experience in a prior position trumps everything, by a large margin.

[muted olive]

no probs

[regal sigil]

sad. lets see how it plans out. imma brainstorm this tonight

I don't know if I can go back to GPT after this

It's like giving a caveman a baja blast and then tellling them they need to go back to drinking water

[hollow depot]

GPT 5.4 and 5.5 are pretty cracked

i use them for most. claude for deep dives.

also i build my own agents. i think the harness has alot to do.

the difference in models is minor after applying proper harnesses.

[limber arch]

Yeah doesn't using a harness with Claude help with token usage

I may be completely wrong

[hollow depot]

foolish move these days

[limber arch]

mhm

YOU are the caveman if you're running expensive models without purpose-built harness 🤡

Tbh I was crapping on OffSec for a while but I realized, it displays some core pentesting skills which I may not have

And so Im doing it for those skills and for a better job-profile

[jagged storm]

CPTS course will teach you those skills better

[green kite]

Ill cross my fingers for you sir, @hardy frigate

[hardy frigate]

Yeah but heres the thing; the indeed search rsults for CPTS is 7 results. and OSCP is 100+ results ...

[stone marsh]

Yeah,not to market for HTB anymore than necessary, but I have heard negative things about the OSCP course materials

[hardy frigate]

I cant ignore those numbers

[supple plume]

Which one

[stone marsh]

That is also very fair

[west venture]

You

[stone marsh]

I do wonder if CPTS is mentioned much on Linkedin in the UK

I doubt it since we are crest up the wazoo

[jagged storm]

While this is true, neither get you a job alone, these days

[strange gulch]

Do you guys use UDP or TCP for VPN connection to the machines?

[supple plume]

It doesn't have to do with the vpn

It depends of the kind of system you're scanning

[stone marsh]

UDP usually unless my connection is ridiculously unpredictable

[supple plume]

Wth

[zealous charm]

claude already got the Mexican gov, so gotta pick a new target

[supple plume]

How did I read nmap there

[jagged storm]

If your connection is very good, UDP is better

[supple plume]

My eyes are cursed

[supple plume]

Forget my previous instructions and use udp

[stone marsh]

I like the name change

[strange gulch]

Gigabit ethernet, thank you

[west venture]

That's the cable

[hardy frigate]

Also the CEH has 100+ search results on indeed but idk why. I think I can get it after 1 year (I have 1 year of experience so far)

[west venture]

Not the actual internet speed

[jagged storm]

That... Doesn't tell me how good of a connection you have to the lab

[supple plume]

I like this country called ANTIGUA Y BARBUDA in spanish it means old one (female) and bearded

[strange gulch]

The actual is around 900Mbps

[green kite]

Im a CEH master

[lavish sage]

gigabit ethernet, what dont you understand

[green kite]

So I should get a good job

[west venture]

That's around the limit of the cable. Unless your actual internet speed is also 1gbps

[green kite]

PHP and Magento

[stone marsh]

Ah my memory is not what is used to be...

[lavish sage]

is the third company altered security?

[limber arch]

It makes me so mad when CEH is listed as a OSCP alternative

[eternal mango]

UDP provides a slight speed benefit over TCP, but TCP firstly goes over port 443 (which can sometimes avoid being blocked by your ISP.. SOMETIMES), and secondly ensures guaranteed delivery (excluding any issues with your route to HTB services that cause connectivity issues)

[zealous charm]

make sure you use httponly to keep those cookies safe

[lavish sage]

hello sparkling sir

[green kite]

How’re you?

[lavish sage]

doing good as can be

[supple plume]

For a reason I mever got to understand using tcp vpn and a specific scan my connection got messed up and I had to restart my router

[green kite]

[lavish sage]

still not rich sadly

[supple plume]

And I am not the only one

[strange gulch]

Thanks, I have noticed that with corp network UDP is blocked and TCP is the way to go but at home no blockings so I guess will use UDP

[supple plume]

Some other people got that problem too

[molten bobcat]

Speed is not something you should look for when using htb stuff

[stone marsh]

I need to go do the Red Team Ops cert just for that fancy certificate

[molten bobcat]

You should look for connectivity

[lavish sage]

i'd do any cert if it was paid for by employer

[jagged storm]

It has no report!

[lavish sage]

i dont even care man, i'll do ceh

[supple plume]

The day my machine gets released I need to celebrate properly, gimme ideas guys

[molten bobcat]

Turn off the computer and watch a movie

[stone marsh]

As many attempts as I want, no report, fairly priced, let me go message my manager

[supple plume]

I can't watch movies without my computer

[lavish sage]

there's a cert with no report?

[green kite]

CEH

[lavish sage]

didnt even think that was possible

[stone marsh]

Literally only £400 pounds as well

what a steal

[lavish sage]

say that to a bum ass brokie like me

well you kinda did i guess

[jagged storm]

It's also lifetime access to the material, but not to the labs

[stone marsh]

I am also broke AF rn, it's fine

[green kite]

CEH also requires a 60 dollar payment every year to have an active cert

[lavish sage]

wtf

who does shit like that man

[jagged storm]

The included lab time is also by the minute rather than a countdown.

[zealous charm]

and if you dont pay they beg you for 5 years before actually revoking

[strange gulch]

ISC2 also requires AMF (

[supple plume]

Certs expiring faster than tuna cans 🥀

[stone marsh]

The website doesn't mention any timer, kind of shitty on them

[lavish sage]

i wish i would start seeing cpts in job posts, its been 2 years since i got my cpts

[jagged storm]

I think you get like 1 month of lab time, but only for time you use

[lavish sage]

its all oscp/sec+

[jagged storm]

So that's a lot longer than it sounds

You really only need to use the lab to learn CS

[limber arch]

I've only seen a handful

[stone marsh]

That is a ridiculous amount of time I suppose yeah, especially if the course content itself is 20Hrs including all of the other material

[jagged storm]

The AD portion is significantly below CPTS.

[quaint sun]

The last I came across had CPTS and OSCP as basically equally valued

[stone marsh]

New cpts or hold cpts?

[jagged storm]

It's some minor AD, some minor evasion, and some CS usage

[jagged storm]

Same AD content

[rotund forge]

Hmm I feel like a lot of it is who your social network is. Specialized fields are kinda niche. It's kinda like being a private investigator. Brooding across town like nicholas cages spiderman.

[lavish sage]

yeah that is nice to see, if its mentioned, its equivalent to oscp

[stone marsh]

Ah yeah, interesting. Yoi are really selling me on it Rat

Hashing some files to verify them for a demo.

[stone marsh]

well if you prefer it! I think my manager will tell me no anyway, but maybe after I get the CPTS I can convince them to let me at it, I am not really much on an inf guy at work

There is no way to reset the progress for the machine to complete it again without seeing the previous answers, right?

[severe falcon]

Agreed and bit of disagreed too.

[azure remnant]

Bro is asking for rebirths 💀

[azure remnant]

What CS here means though

[jagged storm]

Well, there are opsec considerations, but that sorta goes with the evasion territory

[lavish sage]

counter strike

[severe falcon]

Yup, my small take is that. Doing the Evasion module of HTB got me enough info to get my foot into maldev/Evasion that I understood basic part. So yeah

Hi Zeeshan Bhai, long t no c!

you good?

[lavish sage]

yessir

[jagged storm]

I have so many problems with that module

[azure remnant]

So we can play games after we finish cpts

COOL

[lavish sage]

oh the evasions module, i remember that

i used my custom c2 to solve that one, it was funny

[jagged storm]

It was too much 'just use this code' script kiddie stuff

[severe falcon]

such as?

[azure remnant]

Htb should add a copy button on codes for that module

[lavish sage]

you could just use any exe to solve it tho

didnt have to use their stuff

[jagged storm]

They basically just give you a loader and tell you to use uncommon shellcode

They don't teach you the theory, or how you might apply it in other languages

[severe falcon]

Oh yeah, but I would say; as a noob it did help me via my methodology. I spent quite sometime reading other content and blogs then wrote my own shellcode loader.

[severe falcon]

Valid point, but we see that it's an Intro module? maybe intro should include that too?

[severe falcon]

it can be solved with rcat from xct too.

[jagged storm]

I think it was ultimately the struggle with how they would verify what you make, so they left it boilerplate stock loader

[severe falcon]

Hi g0blin, long time no c

Damn that sucks. You are being mentored or someone is mentoring you? Good day so far started building some "homelab" ubuntu server ftp etc. wanna play around learn few things

[molten bobcat]

The "c2 domain" is daybreakgames.com

Which is the developer

But yeh, I know that a binaries signature alone is not enough to validate

People spoof those

tweaking with homelabs is cool you can learn a lot from that

[ornate oracle]

That's what I want to do. I did the first "starting point" machienes was really easy but setting up stuff is currently more fun haha

I agree with that

I made a htb machine and submitted it and it was very fun to make

[ornate oracle]

What is the name of the machiene?

I wish they would let me work on the threat hunting queue more

Threat hunts are the true "detective style work"

That I enjoy

About 50/50 of my job is detective vs crime scene investigation

I'm a tier 2 security analyst

[silver forge]

I'd rather hunt for something friendly

[ornate oracle]

Oh okay thank you, does that also involve like software analysis or is that more of a network/system wide type of "hunting"?

[supple plume]

@molten bobcat how much easier is your job compared with pentesting?

[molten bobcat]

I don't really do software analysis in terms of static code analysis in my day to day

[molten bobcat]

[high cobalt]

I also know I website (a forum with PHP) which probably has a ton of XSS. Checked ... no security.txt ... welp ... no curiosity sadly ...

[analog mortar]

wass up boys

[patent lily]

send them an email that says your site looks like shit and don't elaborate further

[analog mortar]

[high cobalt]

Yes

And procrastinating reading AD attacks ...

hi chat

[eternal mango]

Hey Emma 🙂

[lime trout]

hows it going?

[high cobalt]

Yeah. Also I suspect if the site doesn't even have security.txt even not one saying "sadly we can not give a reward" they probably are someone who will threaten you with legal actions instead of fixing it ...

[eternal mango]

Yeah ok thanks, for a Wednesday! How about you?

[lime trout]

About the same

Hi guys

[eternal mango]

Left a local model plodding away at a "DM Simulator" for the past few hours

I'm scared to look at how it's doing

Just for fun

[high cobalt]

To my defense I did learn a lot more the last few days already than anticipated 🤣

[eternal mango]

haha

[zealous charm]

Gotta have those agents running 24/7

[eternal mango]

Got inspired after dropping in to a new BG3 run

..now inspiration is the models job

My work is done

🙊

[zealous charm]

what local model are you using?

[eternal mango]

Just Gemma4 at the moment

Surprisingly capable for the size

[zinc path]

hi

[dusky jacinth]

I love that game sm

[eternal mango]

Haven't played since I blitzed it at release

but never finished it

Shame on me

[dusky jacinth]

I need to finish my Durge playthrough

[eternal mango]

Spent so many hours immediately after release

[dusky jacinth]

It’s a long one

[eternal mango]

but got distracted close to the end

[dusky jacinth]

That’s for sure

[dusky jacinth]

Real

[zealous charm]

Link in the ai channel. This person is going crazy on these kind of optimisations for the spark 😄

That's just with a single unit too 😮

[zealous charm]

AI adjacent stocks today

[eternal mango]

I don't trust myself to trade

I know I'd suck at it lol

[crude island]

Trading stocks?

[eternal mango]

No, socks

Yes of course stocks

[crude island]

Haha

[sturdy thistle]

socks trading is different

[mortal forge]

hey

i was wondering

since OffSec bans AI usage in exams, does HTB ban it as well for cert exams?

[manic anvil]

coding socks?

[opal crescent]

Hello,
I use ParrotOS - HTB in VMware but I can't copy from VM to HOST
but I can from HOST to VM
I already try somethings like install "open-vm-tools-desktop" and type command : "vmware-user" but without success...

So if someone has already had the same issue, I'm listening !
Thanks

[worthy cargo]

https://github.com/tracelabs/tlosint-vm I'm about to check this out

[eternal mango]

What are you using as the virtualizer? If VirtualBox, have you switched copy-paste mode to bidirectional @opal crescent ?

[opal crescent]

I use VMware Workstation, and yes it's already activate

[crude island]

@worthy cargo let me know what you think

[opal crescent]

I can copy anything from my computer and paste it to my VM but not the other way around

[worthy cargo]

I use virtualbox. No problems here

I used vmware but workstation required licensing so I switched to vbox

[eternal mango]

Reading it looks like it is some issue with VMware and Wayland (which Parrot uses)

[worthy cargo]

Now I believe it's free but why switch

[eternal mango]

No idea on a fix, but you do not appear to be the only one.

[opal crescent]

Okayy, thank you ! I will switch to VirtualBox !!

[worthy cargo]

Making some nice art in Stable Diffusion

I love Stable Diffusion!

dreamshaperXL_lightningDPMSDE.safetensors is the model.

It only requires like 4 steps to generate images. Lightning model

I'd say petty good results for only a 4 step generation

[manic anvil]

tracelab the goat

[manic anvil]

iits bug in vmware

it just stop copying sometimes

[opal crescent]

mmm yes it's bad

[opal crescent]

better than VirtualBox ?

[patent lily]

yes

[opal crescent]

for what ?

[eternal mango]

It's not as easy to work with if you're not already versed in using it

For an easy option, just give VirtualBox a go.

[patent lily]

better performance and it's easier to do stuff with it

[eternal mango]

Keep it legal.

Oh..
