And threatening legal action because of it
they are now allowing adult games , its weird with a game that have literally most of its player base as kids
Exactly, and has a reputation built off of kids. Their age verification rules are another addition to the weirdness
we have that word filtered because it filters all the kids trying to ask for "account recovery"
or targeted account hacking
yeah verfication that could be bypassed by literally marker drawing uh beard
“I want my boblox accont bak bc a hakker stole my 67 brainrot. Pls help”
That is brilliant
And using 3d blender models and ai videos lmao
i feel like they do it on purpose like "ha see we are preventing kids by putting AI verification you cant sue us"
If I had to guess they're data mining the kids to see how academic performance and demographics that they can sell. They did something similar with the GATE program I think in the 90s with gifted kids.
educational data mining (EDM)
nuh the game is just super slop the main thing it got kids to it because like any pc used to run it and its free and there is a lot of knock off games from real games
Idk it's not the first time a team of psychologists were analyzing kids.
They wanted to do it because they were losing their precious shareholders. Even after they put in age verification, their stonks were still falling down
i mean considering how they operate it seems like they would sell data to anyone anyway
i mean kinda deserved
Hey guys, are seasonal prizes given to users?
not yet
alright
Probably tbh data centric world is odd. It gets kinda creepy what you can do with a good manual
i got a funny idea
AI malware
a malware that aware of its existence i wonder how it will go
That's called a pathogen
like at the end a malware would always report back to the same server no matter what device its on right ? what if that server is just an AI learning how it got detected or removed and based on that it learn how it adapt to it?

I'm having trouble connecting to SSH; I'm getting a password error.
the academy password?
tried to copy paste the password instead of writing it?
-# connected to da OpenVPN?
now imagine this but its have its kinda own of freedom like it can literally recode it self , because in the polymorphic one i think its coded in to how to change the code and the values and keys used each target
you're not proposing anything new
why not
Hackthebox if you just review my machine I won't have to take a shit job 🥀
Bro never hits shift 🥀
And the keys are literally like "!!" Symbols
lmao
Did anyone heard about the Claude thing that is now able to find bugs?
Is it a myth or actually true
Yea I am not into news Someone told me about it
That’s a big problem
yea, so bad that after the leak, stocks dropped as well
Thanks for the resource
someone at ANTHROPIC just showed CLAUDE finding ZERO DAY vulnerabilities in a live conference demo
claude has found zero day in Ghost, 50,000 stars on github, never had a critical security vulnerability in its entire, history...
it found the blind SQL injection in 90 minutes,
check this out
Okay let me see
"Never had a criticical vulnerability in its entire history", clearly people weren't looking at this software before 
Omg this is actually scary ngl
Elite hackers spend months finding vun this thing found it in 90min
I Hope this is not true and they doing this for marketing purposes
My Claude also found decent vulnerabilities
Omg so this is true
Yes ofc
How did they even train it to do that
Ask them not me
Omg I will tysm
@sturdy thistle teach me sensei
to hack with claude
my dad might buy claude code
Soon I get 400€ in total

already HTB gives us a hint for Season 11
only 12 machines, not 13
Btw for it to "find exploits in Firefox" they had to remove all the sandboxing and security 
How did u know that they did?
Nice pfp 
thx
Claude won't do shit for me. I use it to read docs for me now

Looking for where I saw it rn

How do we get the season rank badge
exhausted 😩
reverify, but you won't have the badge show, as certs are higher on the ranking than seasonals
Thanks
Idk bro I just hope that the hole thing is fake
Give me yours

Uh..
Body is not exhausted but Mind is exhausted
Why lol
I find bugs for you
Eat donut 🍩 
Could you do that?
Yes
Thanks
Gemma models are the best local ones
Imagine if that thing can find real bugs and people can use it like the bug bounty hunters jobs will reduce so much
-I’m on a seafood diet.
_What’s that?
I see food… and I eat it.
Like gemma4 24b
Bug bounty hunters are using AI now
Ai using them 
@everyoneany one know is it possible to track down geo ip via a public ip address any possibiity
U don’t need a bug bounty Hunter u have a ai who is capable of find bugs in less time and less effort all you need is a prompt
Sosssss
Ik I personally use agents but u need to guide (u need to know what ur doing)
Can't find it. I wouldn't really trust benchmarks and be very skeptical on anything ai tbh
All you need is not prompt all you need is actual cyber security knowledge otherwise you won't be able to filter out all the slop the AI gives out and get the actual vulnerability
You won't have an AI all the time lol. It's a tool, not all tools can be used at a job
there you go
That’s true but still the hole thing is scary
Why
Also if you don't understand the vulnerability, how would you even write a report? Get AI to do that too? What if it's wrong or hallucinated? How would you know
true
true
Yea ik
Also ai isn't that good for the environment. It uses lots of resources and is currently harming normal consumers with stuff like ram prices
Everything is truerr
That’s actually the thing in that report they said that he can now type reports
almost OSCP
What if they are hallucinated
KEEEBAAAAAB
That was from back during cactuscon lol it's definitely worse now
You would not know bc you'd have no idea what's going on
No lol
Thats not at all how it works
Idk which gemma4 I have
we be measuring stuff in OSCPs now
Running on a 5090M and 96 GB DDR5
Yes, it has always been. If it is expensive, we measure it with OSCP

I've also seen people go into some sort of psychosis from ai. One time a guy thought that you can control people's brains with radio/Bluetooth and Gemini was feeding his delusions
Device equipment prizes are 💥 boominggg
Hands-on with the Olares One: RTX 5090 Mobile, 96 GB RAM, Olares OS. A power-user mini PC reviewed from a gaming, local AI, and cybersecurity perspective.
Could you give me like 10gb out of that
I take your Claude then
Okay
That sounds scary and some kind of phobia
Ended up having to call police to file a report cause the person wasn't mentally all there and was worried about other people's safety
Imagine joining a company and getting a CTC of 35 OSCPs
no shit, base would be less
3 OSCP bonus per quarter
LOL


Hmm, that is a lot
I take it you haven't met the "AI is my girlfriend" dudes
depending on where u live it might not be
If you give a box cutter to a psycho, and he cuts himself, would you blame the box cutter?
Up for cooking
CTC?
My base sal is approx 15 OSCP per annum

Cost to Company

ah
@summer urchin
Is anyone here have the oscp certification?
Better:)
15 L is not 15 OSCP. 1 OSCP is around 1800 USD, let us approx it two 2000 USD.
I have done OSCP, OSEP, and OSWP (the ez wifi one)
Ow Gj bro
woah hacker man sir
Ah yes,wait are we considering the Course+exam voucher or just voucher
you're soo goated
both
cost to company
can i offer complementary massage
ah then i think 7-8-ish OSCP per annum
in dollars?
yes dollar?
AUD
INR
wdym?
if I get one more insane challenge accepted by HTB
aud or inr
I can buy OSCP
Aussie company , so it get converted from AUD and i receive in INR
send me 100 Euro, will accept it now ||it is joke, don't send me||
ah. you stay in india?
ya
-# I aint that dumb
But it’s worth it
not really
Yes
it was for legal purposes
for me anyway
didn't wanna get sued or fired

Where do you work
And 18 for HTB
who?
You
great
HTB
for HTB certs?
Hire me?
I have that completed
then I should be fine
I want to set a guiness world record

Lab grown meat is not meat.
It is a science experiment stuffed with a bunch of shit. And they want us to eat it.
Yes. Linux kernel iirc, a hyphen was missing. The 4 year old kid told her father that the 's' doesnt look as happy as the other letters because there was no hyphen after it
How can i talk to somone from htb ?

Been taking a break, other than work
My WiFi bug was approved tho
Feels good

And microsoft approved my mitigation method for osc8 hyperlinks
wifi bug sounds cool
They’ll be adding warnings to it because of me
Only requirement is me in your proximity
frost finding bugs every day while I learn….. shell escaping
aren’t u partially korean?
Hi, does this mean that I will lose my credits if I don’t use it for a year?
Runs as system also. Don’t need to be on the same network either
Just be able to hit your WiFi’s proximity
Ye
well, the code for 100$ off is not working. Whom to ping?
Need to speak to a person? Learn how to reach our support via HTB Labs.

I wonder how it works for sat coms
I don’t think it hits same code path
Hi Emma, any idea?
i have no idea, beyond thats what the text below seems to imply
idk
I've had credits for over a year.

For apple: did you manage to get one of their target flags? or memory corruption bug no flag?
Write the word unban 4 times and send it exactly the same here
can probably beat up your target then

One after another

/msg user:@scenic maple message:rewards
This is the comand @turbid goblet
bro thinks this is bug bounty
Ok i will dm golam multiple times
If I use the $40 code for the VIP+ subscription, will I get a refund for the difference?
Ok
This is hug bounty 🫂

it is or?
i would think it wont consume the full voucher
beg bounty
Bounty the Box
so you can put the remainder to whatever else
replied
So the ProLab subscriptions don’t come with unlimited Pwnbox?
only VIP iirc
• Gateway Latency: 96ms
• Start time: a week ago

@supple plume what are you trying to do lol
I am just trying to see what cool things I can do
its open source, go read it instead of spamming ;P
I'll spam here #bot-commands
A bit
I cant read a repo comfortably with the phone
If that's ok
Hugs are possible at live hacking events
But not as good as bugs
Seems partially vibe coded 🥀
Hi,
The season is ended right? when we get our rewards? like 200 cubes.
Where can I use "perbe"
this dude might be my account manager
Coming to defcon this year?
@zealous charm no but i did prove PC control
Cool, yeah Ive got a few webkit crashes but I havent met their flag tiers yet, which seem required
Seems like a lot of work for 2k lol
pc: 0x4242424242424242
Did they accept yours without the flag?
yeah
Is the Pro Lab environment still shared, or has it changed like the machines?
The one I have now is ~32 bit controlled, write, so pretty weak but might be worth submitting if they do partial payouts
Probably blackhat and some of defcon
its still shared afaik
yeah i didnt have to prove flag
and yes was paid
Hi guys can i take my turn to ask a dumb question
ask

New word added to my immaculate dictionary

There is a code for reward?
Yea
No freaking way

Hi everyone, I received a gift code from Hack The Box, but I already have VIP+ myself. Can I give it to a friend instead? How does it work / how can they use it?
Xiaomi G34WQi, i payed almost 270$
i hope it is a good deal
xiaomi 
i'll let you know after 1 month of use
curved?
one day i will buy a oled monitor and it will be peak
yes
is curved any good?
looks good though
omg share = restrict account 🙁
and the price is crazy
thats pretty wide
good deal
altho i would take a even wider one without the curve
good luck
smart lights changes like with whatever playing on your monitor hehe
Good luck
i'll do cwes for refresh
and buy all the modules and do em in 1month span so you give me modules money back
cuz you bout to lose
go nail it!
im about to take Frog money
I’m confident that u wont, but I wont give u money if you only complete modules, you gotta take the exam and pass
1 month + exam days
40days ?

U get 1.5 months (45 days) to do the entire thing, I think that was the deal
Tbh claude opus may pwn the entire thing
they prolly changed the whole exam
I doubt it
tbf i lack in web so i prolly wont use it as much
It can probably flag most of the issues with ease
If htb would give me a free exam attempt I’d try to just pwn through claude and see how it goes

i mean you already passed
and you're one of most respected fellas here
prolly if you asked
they would agree to this
Tbh I’d not do it coz I’m lazy
Recently I've found gpt 5.5 is better for long running tasks
OSAG certificate when
echoes of WHOOO
Of slavery soon
Serving tables for minimum wage

I also recently had some interviews

Good get these jobs that I can't get
What role btw?
Bug hunter probably (as a frog)
He will catch bugs in a bigger pond
Sure dm I'll like to know
Uh
I asked chatgpt to make an image of it's state
This literally took zero prompting from me I simply asked it to create an image best describing it's state💀
I didn't say that shit
terminator get him
Oh.
Yeh sorry
I was about to cuss you out
Uwu I'm a little anime girl please pay a subscription for me uwuu ~ cloud 2026
Sorry I just think LLMs and "art generation" is all a scam to con people out of their money
I didn't pay anything tho
Plus I use it to create custom wallpapers
Separating the masses from their wallets
golam on this shi,

I saw a real life arcade with shitty AI art vinyl wrapping their building.
It all looked so fucking bad
AI art was present at the Renaissance faire I went to
everything will be vibecoded and you will be happy and eat the bugs or something
Yeah no thanks lmao
not even real bugs like cockroaches they'll be synthetic bugs engineered in a lab
by AI
maybe most of it will i can agree on that but not 100%
Again, I use AI to create logos and icons and shit bc I am not paying some human $50 for the same thing
It looks the same that's all I care about 😹
bogos binted!!!!!
Then you suck big time lol
Just like that shitty arcade and that shitty art seller at the faire, you suck
No work, all the profit, gimme gimme gimme.
Disgusting bullshit lol
but then local uncensored model is too expensive to run or it's shitty
Uhh yeah I'm not paying for something I can get for free
maybe in some years it will be useful for something
Enjoy your slop then
There's a turn of phrase "you get what you pay for"
Since you paid nothing it's also worth nothing
i mean as long as the client doesnt mind whats the issue
they just need to get their work done and he does them
Thanks for letting me know you're a scam artist I'll just block and move on :/ that's really unfortunate I wish this could have gone better
you're contributing to your own future homelessness and eating of the bugs and living in the pod
I hate that I wasted time.
@undone fossil thank you for your maldev text guidance in #red-team. Quite helpful.
wish I went into maldev a long ago
I make websites vro
Getting work done is not the same as getting work done correctly.
why do you block people when conversation is getting heated this is the time to pursue dunk on him he's at 10% hp
Awe dude I have a problem with never letting a topic go
oh
i would agree on not giving them a totally bullshit thing for their money but i think its a 2 way thing like
uses ai and does somethings on his own and merges them
damn no gif chat, rip
used to do the same until it was meta
I just struggle with the concept of doing something that very clearly isn't your own work and passing it off as if it was
I would like to watch one of the people who claim they use claude for things like solving ctfs do it show me the entire process screenshare it I don't belive it I think they're government appointed AI shills or I'm using different claude
Like I literally use AI to create like placeholder images sometimes and even create permeanant images if the client wants them 😭
See, I had a problem with a coworker using AI to deobfuscate a payload
I asked him how he deobfuscated it
"the ai did it for me"
So.. how do you know it was deobfuscated correctly?
"it looks right"

No, sorry, that's actually not good enough for me
If the command is obfuscated it can be undone
Programmatically.
There's techniques to do this
opens report
chatgpt said
any volunteers?
i for one completely welcome this bullshit. I hope LLMs build all code frm now on. I look forward to every major tech firm swallowing itself in its own stupid hubris
but why would someone give a shit about what you think
Yeah my problem is that I live on the same planet as the giant economic neutron stars
are people never in voice just hanging out on this server?
Kinda yeah
Because otherwise I'll keep calling them a shill and that's slightly bothersome
We go in vc sometimes
let them keep scaling up this nonsense and tkaing on billions of debt for datacenters that never get built while massively underselling "tokens" for usage so that noone's actually making any money. this is fantastic and everyone who uses LLMs and endorses them (besides anyone sharing my exact take here) fully deserves what they'll get
Yeah I'm genuinely not looking forward to the eventual crash of people being useless without a chatbot to guide their thoughts lol
You are genuinely stupid
Elaborate
pay more for discord nitro and tell me that again
Coco is one the smartest people in this whole server
Anyone who fails to recognize that is wild to me lol
i reply humbly somehow
I'm gonna be like that family guy dude "PHONY! HE'S A BIG FAT PHONY!" anytime someone says they're solving ctfs with clankers
I pay for discord nitro to boost this server buffoon
why
sometimes its too costly to hire ai agents 😔
Bc it unlocks features in the server that everyone can enjoy?
lol
Make me enjoy please
It's okay it's like the 80s again everyone's gonna do so much blow the business collapses and the IRS arrests everyone
"look at me I am such a revolutionary thinker" yeah keep watching Mr Robot 😭
what
What the fuck are you on about lol
it's ragebait no one is like this in real life
C'est la vie
huge drama ngl
If I use the $40 code for the VIP+ subscription, will I get a refund for the difference?
But people do?
It just won't use the total on the card brother
ask support
Proof?
What?? You seriously don’t think AI can solve CTFs? There is literally a HTB account that is a model solving machines
I think my main problem with chatbots and shit is people are using them in lieu of critical thinking or trying to solve a problem themselves
Proof?
So dumb
Nice proof
Y'all, he's just asking for fuckin proof of your statements clowning on him for asking makes YOU look dumb
Bro doesn’t even hold a rank and is telling people that AI can’t solve a machine
I told you guys they're all shills
Man you cant even solve a machine
They can't provide simple proof of their claim
Nah, I'm with chakal lmao
Ad hom
Nice proof
This is bullshit just show him the fucking account doing it lmao
And that was from last year
He just wants to check it out
Hey g0b
Nobody cares about what you think
Models have improved so much more since then.
Heya
You seem to care a lot
I just had an interview to work serving tables
Go read the paper.
I also hate blanket statements like "nobody cares what you think" I do lol
Did it go well?
Nobody cares what you think either

anyone know when rewards are released for season 10?
It depends
You have nitro
If well means minimum wage working 6 days a week it went golden
Someone gave me that nitro so I can send you 
Gotta do what you gotta do, unfortunate you have not been able to get a role in the field 🙁
Gob do you know of the butlerian jihad
Back later, gotta go cook dinner for the monster
Why you always saying that
Oh okie have fun cookin
It doesn't trigger me 🦾
Then trigger deez 🔩
That's a bolt
See you're wrong again
It only has one nut
Good for you
Welcome
hope to find peers and work along side
You can take a look here #1318239802931286066
yeah, im trying to get members for my team, even though im still a beginner

Just follow the rules when posting a looking for members post
Well maybe it would be easier to join one instead
Because you didn't a few times already 😅
Over, it is
yeah, i saw
yeah, lol
Clawd I have one questions in the blue teaming stuff you do do you do it on windows systems, linux or both?
#1318239802931286066 can only be used for htb team.......
Oh cool nice
it gotten harder and harder here, its almost like if you dont have a referer its impossible to get a position
Right, that's what it says in the rules more or less
Find a team channel in htb server, what do you expect?
What kind of team do you want?
D ddd dd d'--
Hey everyone
It’s ridiculous
I need some help here
How does someone get a job/internship without certs ?
yeah
Experience
It's the only other valid equivalent, me sorry
members for my team 🥲
and i know the most skilled people, still struggeling getting a interview

ctf, learning together kinda
But how can i show my experience here ?
and also know some who cannot even solve an easy machine holds a pentester role
Where do you do CTFs?
Yeah, I concur. I don’t know who’s getting these open roles though. Because the people who should be, just seemingly aren’t getting ten
You can't, that's the issue, you have to have certs that prove you're ready to take on the job
Hmmmm, let me degrade the position here, internship
Internships are typically aimed at students or people otherwise trying to break into the field
I've never personally held one
What do u think about CSSLP certification as a software engineer ? Is it worth ?
I got a job with the CompTIA A+ alone
Shucks
welll in my opninion its easy to get away with it, specially in pentest, cuz a lot of times you wont be getting a follow up on your work, (i.e some just throw nexsus reports and call it a security audit), when you're refered, unlike sysadmin, SOC ... etc where if you miss something its mostly on you
It's annoying for sure but it's just how the IT industry has worked for a while
i would like to become a mechanic
Yeah that’s a really good point
Valid lmao
Ok might as well not bring up my 1% thm grind, sighhhhh
Yeah people unfortunately use that as a joke
Can soc work ?
😂😂😂
diesel? gas?
haha
if you know diesel you can both
wasap baby
i won a marathon against 2 grannies and a toddler today
Good man
I kinda look like this today
i need a haircut and lose the fat
Shave your head and run 2h a day
no there's a simpler solution
shave your head daily, and eat the hair as your only meal
It works
you'll lose weight so fast
you like 150cm bro
Me? 
Did you? 
noone needs to lift anything we have drones for that now
It's working for me
Shit thats what i am aiming for
No
I went from healthcare to IT to this
you where a doctor ?
thats a hard L
😂😂
Lets see here and how long did it take you?
it takes doing sherlocks, some sysadmin skills, and some BL certs
and looking at logs
and having some referals
also depends what SOC level you wanna be
I grind a lot in sherlocks
Can't say I've ever heard of it tbh, but I imagine it's a slight help on the CV? unsure
Maybe it's more known at typical big corpo firms
I want the soc -> ir -> intel -> idk what comes after this but some grand blue team thinker or sth
technical wise or administration ?
Whats the difference?
It's been a few years
Been in the field for two years now how long do i gotta go ?
SOC analysts perform incident response as well, it's not limited to a specific job role
My job is mostly DFIR
one plans, and handle hella documents, budgets, and orchestrates ... etc, and the other who does the technical part. i think.
I like planning
More
The CDSA cert from htb covers a lot of what I do for a living
Heh?
planing also includes budget ... etc
Its the best part here
and to hold a high position, you most have some Degree my guy
That's not true
that's 100% true here
That's not true either
guys im gonna do the nmap module again
You're claiming to have full complete knowledge of something, no human has that lol
I can build the experience overtime
also having a degree boost your chances of getting hired by a lot
Oh shucks i read it wrong the technical part is fun
College flat out isn't the right answer for some people, it's an individual choice
the world operates over generalities and not exclusions
@molten bobcat @tame gust
Yeah I don't think you're old enough to inform me how the world operates
some roles requires you to have master degrees ... etc
Me ?
Or who?
Nah I'm just being shitty lol
no i dont have to inform you, you should already know it
A requirement on some roles does not equal a requirement for all roles
he legit said he wanna aim for high roles
Alright now I'm no longer being shitty this is real lmao, do not correct me you dont have the capacity
as IRM
I mean in the long time run, no ?
You? Nmap? Why? 😄
you know it all, untill you dont
In the long term, no, you don't need a degree.
no im asking which one u wanna do
I am good to work on soc for now
Yes, you can be a soc analyst without a degree
i wont repeat what i said, having a degree helps a fking lot, than having no degree.
It can
and YES you can be a SOC without a degree, my point is
bachelors helps the most ^^
my brother works for FAANG and doesnt have a dregree
Degrees matter less than passion and hard work
thats not what HR understands
cant buy passion tho
When it comes to managerial roles the degree tends to come back into play as a requirement
My degree is barely related to infosec and I get jobs and interviews just fine
Ye
unless you've got a ton of solid experience to back it. Again, possible but difficult
source: no degree good position
unless you like 1%, and mostly you arent
I feel like these generalizations you're making are too broad
if the degree was free I'd have gone for it tbh
There's a cost benefit ratio to consider regarding the time you'll spend on the degree vs what you could achieve in that time of real world experience, even if not directly in the field
It's definitely a problem with a shitload of variables
explain to me why mostly of HTB players here and they actually great in term of experience struggelign still with a security position
Which is why I'm not a fan of blanket answer
Because tech is not the only thing you need in the real world. It's a means to a business impact
exactly
Because the job market imploded
The product is business impact or productisation. i.e. communication skills, technical writing, etc.
Think of it like an expansion from "code is cheap, engineering is not"
Telling people to invest a 4 year time sink because "you're fucked otherwise" is a pretty bold statement to be making to people who are trying to make a multiple year life commitment lol
i lost a pentest position to someone who doesnt even know what a TXT record is
you making shit up
CTF players are easy to find, a professional who can do that and communicate well with a client is not (relatively)
Not really? This is what your argument is, the job market is unkind to people who don't have degrees
Which can be a correct sentence
the guy said he'd aim for a high SOC position, i said that would prolly require to get a degree, which would help.
I have only ever seen a degree be a tiebreaker in IT - zero value otherwise
entry level roles, you can get with experience
Can you explain this to me lol
Two people equal skill, and one has a degree, you win the checkbox war
I think they're discussing pre-real world experience
I thought so too but
you could get a entry level pentest role with OSCP, CPTS ?
How's someone gonna get an entry level role if it requires experience?
2 so far
But also I'm not a pentester
I think they're talking the other point? Or am I misunderstanding
as in, you cant get above entry without a degree?
bro im actually taking about roles such as incident response management and such
Just wanting to make sure I understand correctly, ambiguity is difficult over text
I did incident response management without a degree
You could definitely earn this with experience as an analyst
yeah at the point of management degree's sometimes become a hard gate. However I've built services without a degree
Shit, I don't even have a highschool diploma, and still worked in FAANG lol
Again, you close some doors without a degree. Imo though I don't want to work at a place that's so shallow on requirements
