Where is CTF located?
That's how I learned is just a very large amount of sitting with incredibly difficult exploit dev problems and failing over and over again until I got working exploits. Repeat.
PicoCTF is a start
CTF = Capture The Flag
Then
what is a flag
Where are the CTFs located?
picoCTF has joined CyLab Security Academy, Carnegie Mellon University's free cybersecurity learning platform. Existing picoCTF credentials still work.
Damn
it's your birth tag
yo whats happening to pico
Goodbye
Capture The Flag, CTF teams, CTF ratings, CTF archive, CTF writeups
i noticed that yesterday
feel this...sat is feeling more like a sunday
is it still gonna be free
bro only needed a pointer in the right direction
Looks like it
the pointer was within all along
There's a null pointer where my brain should be
"I like to travel light"
I wish they'd dereference the null pointer in my head
feature imo

Yeah for sure it's a good mentality to have and I've had to internalize that a lot just due to life circumstances.
Main problem I have now is that I've spent so much time and effort, working 70+ hour weeks teaching myself + working to support myself through college(debt free!) + working on my employability + doing extracurriculars and competitions like CCDC + working on my degree.
And now I'm like... here and I've got just about everything I've worked for at this point.
And now I feel both grateful yet listless and a bit directionless it's kinda wild.
Yeah. I know exactly how that feels. And even the continued ambition doesn't feel like it helps either.
I don't know, maybe you need to take a step back and do some stuff that's totally unrelated to tech. Not quit or anything, but like go to Japan or something
It's like I'm still super young and ambitious but like apparently getting what I want from here is just not gonna require as much effort as getting here did.
Yeah I don't know.
Part of me wants to just work for maybe 2 months at my job and then take a 2 week vacation to finland or something.
Go see my sister.
I mean they do say the first step is the hardest part. And if we consider all the work you put in as the first step to getting started in the career you wanna do, then yeah it could be really dissapointing to hear that the same effort won't be necessary
It's not so much disappointing as it is actually surprising to experience.
I faced that scenario, but when I tried to be ambitious and solve problems I got fired. So life can be a bitch that's for sure
Fair enough
It's like wait what life doesn't demand everything from me anymore?
I mean this couldn't be bad for your health and what not. Sounds like a solid idea to me
If only life were like that for all of us LOL. But, that's a unique problem you're stuggling with. One clearly many don't encounter.
My only concern at this point is like price of plane tickets due to war in iran.
That's true. Hopefully they don't stay too crazy for long. Though only time will tell
I've been grinding for literally a better part of a decade at this point.
I mean that's more reason for it to be weird to experience then imo
exactly
I've been saying exactly this
I'm so used to everything being super astronomically hard.
Thatās how I dance for the wife when I want to āset the moodā
i have a great idea. im gonna do one of those videos of eating one of each item off the tacobell menu but skip the recording part
Hey man. No need to brag
You're always full of great ideas kami
its not me its her
now im hungry
get an arby's buffalo chicken sandwich
spaghetti meatballs, and some fried shrimp on the side tonight
skrimp
shrimp
alright chat
Some men drown while the rest of us die of dehydration
and when i post about milk emma keep saying keep it pg 13
I censored
@scenic maple say the thing
That actually made me realize the extent of my lonliness
we're no longer friends f0x

it's ok vro, lets get high and set up kuberentes on a raspberry pi 4 
hehehehe
Ceald you are like the worst friend ever
actually i'm kidding that was mean
but that would be hell
can you actually work when you high ?
or do anything that require brain power
lmao no
Programming? 100%
i do none, my brain freez
programming while high is so yummy
nah bro i be frozen
Yeah I get that. I've spent a good amount of time learning how to function while innebraited
balmers peak
not a great thing to admit
applies to getting high too
alcohol I can be if I have like 2 drinks or so. Getting high maybe initially then I get to a point where I can't function at all
i envy anyone that can work and sit none stop for more than 6hs with no breaks
I had the same theory about playing pool
alcohol kills my mental
ive definitely heard pool players agree with that too
How do you measure .46-.48 of a beer
and its not like just a meme, because theres definitely a body relaxation invovled n stuff
roulette guess
liddle less than haf
I I think it has more to do with the relaxation part
like we overthink less, which allows us to sometimes more confidently tackle a problem
thanks pookie š
My MO is to hold as much stress as possible and then gently incite your loved ones to push you harder. The game is to see how long you can traverse the knife's edge before snapping
mmmm
I love that game. My favorite part is the psychosis.
Three days no sleep? Believe everyones following you? Crack out some unbelievably bad programs? Fucking awesome feeling
The psychosis is what gives you purpose after your life gets stable and boring
damn i never got my trump phone
What's a trump phone lol
Like a Obama phone
obama cube
Lol
on par with the soulja boy console
Or the Trump University, or Trump Steaks, etc, etc
scam man does scam
Yep.
In a scam economy, the market filters out real business
too much work
too much bran power required
no need
i am here to yap about the pride i feel after i did something people didnt mention in write up
trullllyyy
all good as long as i feel proud of it at least
Bro, you can't just post spoilers for a box 
damn
Module content writeups are against the rules, and also counter-productive to learning.
i see 

rules mentioned
im hard
my bad
make one of those floor shakers/vibrators
didnt name it though i dont think
They are having some kind of party⦠like 20 people on their back deck laughing and shouting for the last 4 hours
thats a secret cult
call the police on them for suspected pedophilic activities
Theyāre not a very good one then
dude want to swat them
No thanks⦠we all got to live
š
I just hope they tone it down before it gets too late
calling the executive branch with that complaint in the current climate would get the caller swatted now that I think about it
if they have speakers that use bluetooth you know what to do
lol
thats a nicer response
Rn itās just loud yelling and laughing⦠and random screaming
They are really having fun over there
go join
bro killed social anxiety while he was a embryo
But itās like they have zero awareness that we are all packed into the smallest legal distance between houses
zoningpilled profitmaxxers
cookiecutter maxxing
extort them for beer...say its the cost of the noise
Yeah itās a bunch of townhouses.
tell them they make the townhouse feel like a townhome
call the town karen on them
The whole neighbourhood⦠Iām glad I donāt live here in the summer. We spend most of our time at the cottage
let he call their mangers
ohh fancy a cottage
In the winter itās too fucking cold to stay outside for hours
Itās not fancy, but itās away from the hullabaloo
im glad i live on property now its more peaceful...i do miss parts of the city tho
i live in an area where i hear gunshots and street racing more than parties
that just default america
detroit activity
gunshots r normal here too
All the loud partygoers get shot. It's a self solving problem
Dallas activity
Atlanta activity
chicago activity
SF activity
I can keep going
gotta use the second amendment
Ah! We have one asshole with a souped up Civic who speeds through⦠Iād love to punch him
How do you miss Philadelphia activity
No gunshots here
the lou philly detroit
but that's like THE city for someone getting shot every week these days
VTEC supremacy angers the normies
Lol
all those places r fun here and there glad i dont live in a big city
BUT I dont speed through the neighborhood
Loud is one thing, but speeding down a very densely populated residential street with a ton of young children is fucking stupid
living in or near a big city is fun if you don't get tired of watching insanity unfold around you
fun to top something out every once in awhile
Did someone say vtec?
Like, some day heās going to kill someone
cool car dude nice color as well
thanks!
I was also a loud neighbour
tbh should have gotten a camaro
nah I prefer to be fast
I was just going to troll but the camaro beats the mustang on the Nurburgring
i mean thats everywhere but ye some spots r extra xD
I mean which Camaro? and which Mustang? The GTD kills corvettes and camaros
Yeah, the first rule of bikes is that everyone is trying to kill you
I'm seeing a lot of focus in the last week or so in tech news on LLM pricing. A sudden wave of negative press on how companies will be paying more with AI than if they just have humans do it
fair point. The ZL1 camaro is the camaro in question
thats like the fear of cops when they are pursuing someone
along with the charger
My old man used to ride Triumph before he had to sell his last bike.
That's fair
If I had ZL1 money I would be in a GT350 not a GT
I wish I had photo perms to post my suzuki
Yeah, my sister had a big crash about 10 years ago⦠lucky she was wearing her leather jacket or she might have lost part of her arm
@limber arch anything done to the stang?
New tech stuff always sells at a loss, to get customers, and then jacks up the price to get profit
Lol quite a alot. But performance wise it has a ported 2018 Intake manfold, PMAS 120 MM CAI, full Corsa exhuast and a 93 tune
It makes around 430 RWHP
absolutely stunning cars
My sisterās nephew had an accident last year⦠he was in a coma for 3 days
Nice. What made you stay with 93 pump gas instead of going full e85?
Damn thats rough
All of the e85 pumps around here are more like E60 ish
the high cost of living
Ahh ok
If they were better i'd be on E85
damn. I used to ride with this pro level guy and he crashed doing stupid nonsense on a public road. Totaled his r1 and was put in a medically induced coma
Yea for sure
It's getting a built trans in a month or so
I used to have a fully built turbo civic in e85
Nicee
I just want an isetta 
I don't know much about civics tbh
based af
this is peak
The biker version of this is a honda super cub
Iām not really a ācar guyā but I do watch a lot of car content on youtube
I do
I used to be a big car guy
The guy I bought my mustang off of went to highschool with him
Tomās Refurb, Vice Grip Garage, Junkyard Digs
Good channels
I wish JDM cars still had soul 
Gotta hook my peepers on this engine
the new prelude is a slap in the face
Lightning hoses
Everytime i watch Oppenheimer i just realize i am not doing much
He always licks the dipstick when he checks the oil
get your sanskrit up and shack up with troubled commie women
thats wild
Yeah, but heās a funny guy
Honda Rebel
I dont mid that
Tom is loud and obnoxious, but I love the silly shit he does like putting a Honda engine in a Mustang
Masutangu
I like his trade up challenge he has going on
Noise Complaint is a good car
Wait is hacking the only way to upgrade the discord perms ?
yes
Heās actually not though⦠he sometimes admits that he has to get his buddy to dial in the tune on the car⦠he does super dangerous mods by taking a sawzall to the springs, etc
His fabrication
u can turn on discord perms with -gifsallow command if thats what u need
His fabrication is pretty good
I agree that his work is rough, but that is kind of what I like
Anyone can do it ?
It fits the cars he works on
yeah
I like using --dump-user-metadata
just type it here
-gifsallow
But, if it was a nice car, he'd "ruin" it
lol
Cap
lol

You need to go to Best Buy and get yourself a loopback adapter
Y'all gotta leave him alone
Who?
You
Oh shucks they were talking about me ? šš
you did kinda do a funny
But yes, you need to get hacker, or reach silver in an active season, or get a cert to get embed perms
Kami lied to you, and it was pretty funny
Oh well, thats a week worth of work
lol
Holllyyy šš
Nice
I like this guyās attitude
could be less
Go for it! If you make hacker within a week Iāll leave the server for a month
No claude tho
Pipe that into perplexity š¤£
Hahaha
šš
Its a bet
Good luck
@proper dragon yo from the sounds of it looks like you're pretty good at racing what's your fastest times on some courses
I used to do alot of sim racing on iRacing in gt3 class but I'm nowhere near good lol
You any good at dirt?
I haven't played it much but it's been on my list for awhile
Jeebus
I sold my racing sim stuff awhile ago cause I was getting way too competitive with it and it bordered on unhealthy
I could see how that'd happen
drink more probably
cryptopals
I play XBox with a bunch of guys I used to work with⦠itās mostly running each other off the road in Forza
I got really into formula 4 on iracing and it became an addiction
I'm trying to get better. Planning on getting a track NB miata this summer
I had the vr headset and everything lol
Your drivatar unbeatable?
So I don't want to crash it instantly lol
That man got a whole ass driver set up lol
@limber arch I know someone who races a.miata on a road corse
nice
I gotta go to bed early⦠i have hacking to do in the morning
I used to own a NB miata awhile back
Never raced it, but I wanted to
It was a daily for a short time
I hope youre not a super tall guy lol
miata to a mustang is a peculiar form of automotive reincarnation
im 6ft so I barely fit lol
I owned a Z3 before the miata too
I knew it lol
It went Z3 -> Mazdaspeeed NB -> GS350 -> Mustang
did your husband buy you that?
Interesting
Ooo gs350 is nice
I admit the z3 is a bit of a "questionable" choice
It was pretty fun untill I had to replace the wholee cool system
thanks for taking it well
at least youre not a bmw owner anymore
Fr
i want a zl1
and take it to the nurburgring in Germany
I want a lsx swapped truck
I liked the look of the Z3. My Dad said it was a āwomanās carā
I don't think ive ever seen a women drive one tbh
Hey guys, do you know why this might be happening? I am running Kali-Linux on a Parallels VM on a MacBook M2 Pro. What strikes me the most is that the sweet spot for allocated processors is 3, then it all goes down from there. Hashcat goes up the more processors I give it, but something like aircrack-ng falls off after 3. Thanks!
Do you still own the Mustang?
My dumbass went to an Audubon thinking it was a car meet. Little did I know it was a bunch of dudes looking at birds that worked for BP oil.
You played competizione?
I was playing earlier :)
I give 1 CPU 4 Cores
Autobahn
I haven't tried it yet
Audubon is very different
I'm running laps in Assetto Corsa
im very rusty
This was my Z3
italian?
I only have the laptop's CPU, so 4 cores? Are you doing this in Parallels? I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to how this stuff works, I am learning hypervisors are more complicated than I originally though, especially on macOS.
lol ok
https://kb.parallels.com/en/122828 Could having this option disabled be the root of the problem?
Gotta rewatch Fawlty Towers
I only use the browser and obsidian when hacking so I wouldn't mind my main OS being shared with the VM
At least the bird people take some cool photos. They just made it illegal to feed these guys. Seems like it's almost worth it for the fine. Crazy seeing them eat in person. They RIP the flesh from the inside out
Assuming I have this option enabled:
I have 10 cores, and 16gb of ram, would half and half be a good idea in your experience?
Update: the benchmarks remain the same. 
yeah
@alpine pumice you ever done a le mans race?
Man I cant wait for the new forza imma be cracked out.
Ooh
yes especially if u dont have enough ram to set up a homelab in vms
Skip the ZL1 and put an ESS kit on the Mustang
u guys can afford cars?
Kinda
hot wheels yeah
Got back and arms today at the gym š„
who'd you take them from
This guy! š„š„
@terse dirge is this you looking like he-man lol
porque no los dos
i dont have
cant afford it
ya it's paid off so i won't be buying a zl1. if anything i'll get a whipple for it, or maybe procharger
fair enough
Iāve been looking at doing a Paxton down the road
what year is yours?
Play the finals instead
dont have
It's free
i played that years ago
2013
they broughit it back?
It's made by the same people that made arc raiders
I wouldnāt want to make more than 600 WHP
Yo no se
Is it bad that I'm plat in Marvel Rivals
It's not great, but like for some reason I don't feel good about it
Maybe I just need to get a higher rank
not as bad as diamond in OW2
(im not diamond in ow2)
Arguably better than OW
cs > *
My ex-roomate was top 500 in NA for CS2
I played OW2 for the first time in years a few weeks ago and was immediately remined why I stopped playing it between the janky animations and the toxicity that arises from the reliance on four stragers to do their roles
He was working to get into a major league team. Then he decided to innapropriately interact with someone innebriated
so that's awesome to have on my concious...
that's why i liked cs, you can just ace the other team np, don't need teammates
Yeah it's reallly really rough
I don't know why I like it
but I play support
Cs2 is one of the only comp games I can play and enjoy
same reason i couldn't get into wow, too much reliance on teammates
WoW is really hard to play without a guild
Support roles >>
I was a healer in ESO, but that one really get's toxic once you can start to do the cool stuff
My condolences for playing that awful game
I am not diamond in r6
but I have played the game, so the condolences will be accepted with gratefulness
it is truly awful
can it be thinkpad?
or any
cuz im seeing people using pc as a homelab
Don't get a laptop for homelabbing
Laptops suck at cooling
Yeah, PC or invest in some servers and switches
how big should i get lol
like ngl how do i find a good pc materials
20feet
too lazy to walk to local
It depends tbh. If you don't plan on becoming a full on sysadmin then a PC is good enough
say if i were to make a final year project
is that a good thing
Just make sure you have a decent amount of ram like more than 16GB is a good start imo
Idk it depends on what you're doing
i might into making my own SIEM project...
mronign
Not really sure what you mean by that but the elastic stack is very popular and a PC is sufficient
i see
i was thinking either to do a mini lab + siem or phishing detection system
all you need is 512MB RAM to run templeOS
TempleOS is a biblical-themed lightweight operating system designed to be the Third Temple from the Hebrew Bible š
this is my first time hearing templeos
wtf i never seen that before lol
their os ui looks so ass
He doin fortnite dances
@elfin yacht if you're looking for a full on SOAR, EDR, and SIEM stack elastic stack and n8n are great for that
You can get it going in harvester hci (the based option) or proxmox (if you're an old boomer)
im still a student 
so im guessing harvester hci
Harvester is great cause it's using kubernetes for orchestration and kubevirt but you don't need to touch kubernetes ever and it works out of the box unlike proxmox
With proxmox you have to change out the repos and shit which is annoying in my opinion
If you end up scaling your homelab in my opinion harvester can be better especially if you don't want a centralized Nas since kubernetes would handle the scheduling in the background and longhorn is a self healing storage solution
But for things like containers you can't do in harvester and you'd have to do them in rancher which is a completely separate service for kubernetes and you'd have to deploy a few kubernetes nodes for it in harvester or a separate machine(s)
kubernutus
kubernetes mentioned š¤¢
You could deploy them on harvester but I wouldn't tbh
I'm going to harvest your organs
i see
no harvesting organs in general
Kubernetes Kool aid is the best flavor of Kool aid
actually i bet theres a lot of copper in there
smh im worried to bring pc in my dorm lol
y
strict rules, since im living in hostel dorm
You can also deploy in the cloud
o
thats lame
yeah
I think suse had a cloud platform
imma try to use my laptop as a foundation first
good luck troop
ooo
Nvm they don't
Bill Cosby as Kubernetes' lead engineer
that would be scary the kool aid wouldnt be safe
its look like os linux
But linode, AWS, or azure has suse and most likely allow you to deploy harvester
yeah needs to pay
Yeah they have a few enterprise solutions that are foss
I've never messed with suse too much, I really should tho
i used it one time during college years ago
Who dares to do such thing anyway
idr anything
favorite author
LMAO
wait didnt read the text on that
What was that
im 3d printing lookmaxxers
I missed that
what did it say
I MISSED SOMETHING
I saw shit
im dying lmao

whatd it say
thats was funny af thanks paint
i have to be so careful with my favorited gifs
have of them are 6 times worse than that
that brought a tear to my eye i was laughing so hard lol
bro faded
why
i cant ever
J*b I'm going for. Idk if they're going to drug test
im rebuilding my 3D zelda style file explorer, where you attack files to delete them X amount of bits at a time where X is the damage you do
Probably not but better safe than sorry tbh

Quick question, have you done final year project during colleges before?
I need some tips fr
Something related to soc
I love your ideas paint
Detection maybe
that is the least amount of details you could have possibly given me
Hold up
yeah i did mine on finding cves
Why don't you throw one
gib ideas plij, related to offensive tool dev
idk what kind of project you need lol
Ooo
There's about 1.8 quadrillion things in "defensive tool"
is it a written essay? are you deving something for a specific scenario? are you writing malware? idk

How about you start smaller and then work your way up to a bigger "defensive tool"
like a password manager that implements xor encryption
Yeah this better
wat
then learn to implement like aes256
nah you lose paint idea privs

I was only ever gonna do a final project on hacking stuff
My bad i was walking while typing
what wrong gubbi
He's the one who hacks
i am the one who HACKS jessie
paint idea privs are about to be lost
they have been
oh its ok i cant do ideas either
oh yeah this works too
what kind
National

i work on offensive tool, its called golden shower š¤
im working on an evasive tool its called white
nevermind
is it waste of time doing isc2 CC
sounds liek a waste of time
ethics are for weenies
never heard of it so probably is
ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) is an entry-level certification designed for beginners, career-changers, and IT professionals looking to enter the cybersecurity field without prior experience. It validates foundational knowledge across key security domains and serves as a pathway to more advanced certifications like SSCP or CISSP.
Exam Content: Focuses on security principles, incident response, access controls, network security, and security operations.
sounds expensive and dumb
free
if free sure
kinda free, still have to pay
pay for certificate?
What's your opinion on Stoicism
where you find it though
yearly dues to isc2
booooring
Upon passing the exam, completion of the application form and payment of your $50 AMF, youāll receive your CC certification and become an ISC2 member.
no but I'm pretty Buddhist so there's a lot in common with Stocism
sheesh 50$
Based Aristotelian
10% of what happens are problems 90% of what's wrong is how you react to them
nice š
you are right
idt i really think about ethics, or religion or things like that
100% its about drive, and about power, because you stay hungry, you devour
and thats ok!
yeah imma just continue doing cjca
10% luck, 20% skill, 15% power of will, 5% pleasure, 50% pain, and 100% reason to remember the name
this activated me
that or sec+ id recommend
my first cert was sex+
plan to take end of 2027
who nees ethics
the world is your oyster
sex+
u know im just not gonna fix that
i finished it in under 2 mins and failed
why so far
thats a success
Changing my resume immediately to this
still college
plus this year they are full for free exam application
ah i c
so i need to book early for next year
my tattoo is healing nicely but the parts in my arm creases are scabby š

ooof i need more tattoos
yes it needs more +s
isn't that the what CySA is now?
no
or CySA++
my whole arm is nearly done
whatever it's called nowadays
secX was Casp
gotta find a part time job to pay for second certf
since we can only apply one time for free cert
damn
i wish bro
but most companies required bachelor
yes
doing degree rn
Yeah bro stay in school please
unless u are a tech wizard ur gonna fuck urself
i expect next year to grad
and it wont be fun
It's rough without a bachelors degree
It's rough with one
companies dont even require new hires anymore lol
this is my favorite new part of my sleeve. Melty happy lil guy
I've been stuck at the same role for 2 years and I cannot escape it
soooo cute
not sure where you from but in my country 60%
im hiring

pplease zumi
eh 60%
give this man banana bread
bruh I don't want no damn banana break
you also lying
I need a damn J.O.B.
if u american šŗšø
and u are good at hacking
and can move to the middle of nowhere thats a million degrees
dm me
when you want banana bread and somebody gives zucchini bread š
What if I already have like 3/4 of these
Im american. I have my OSCP but I haven't been hacking as much as I should be
there are 3 requirements
how are u 3/4
hidden forth one
I'm an over achiever
ah
how kissable someone is
it's true
he didnt meet the mark

I have white people lips

cookies š¤¤
where is the middle of nowhere
I like tillamook alot
I tried it recently and it was a little off to me
Really?
lmaoo
near death valley
dang, and not remote
not remote no
i get one day a week sometimes to study at home tho
we'll see how long a white boy survives
shame death valley is in CA
i like california
also this
thats fineeee
i just refuse to be californian
awww
Say, if yall creating projects. do you guys makes it inside os linux or just windows?

just depends on use case ^^
I see
Can u give me examples though?
if u wanna make something in c# for windows well
if u wanna make something for linux thats python why not just do it in linux
Ooo
and yes i know python is os agnostic
i just mean if u are testing it on something linux related remotely why not just do it there instead of hopping to new os
but i mean most of the time, it dont really matter where u dev
Someone told me to make a simple project which is password manager xor encryption
it really doesnt matter where you dev, as long as you can run claude
I see
Alright noted
do w/e u want
yeah you do you
genuinely the best thing you can do is just start doing things instead of asking everybody how to do things, then if you get stuck or hit a hurdle somewhere, that is when you should really start asking people about things
i cant stress enough how important it is to develop your own sense of curiosity in this field
Tbf, I have no guidance or starting point lol. My colleges lecture just dump all slides note about theory and doesn't help much
that sucks vro
Yeah
i mean sure when you explain what you are trying to do to somebody, they might be like wtf are you doing, but more often than not people are just happy to help somebody that is actually doing their own thing
i never had guidance or a real starting point other than just wondering what would happen if i did things
Applied to prestigious cybersecurity related colleges but unfortunately it's too expensive
Ill keep this in my mind
Relying on college for a cyber education isn't a good idea tbh
"i want to attack a web app running X services" google how to do that
"i want to do some rev chal that focuses on X" google stuff about reversing similar things
"i want to stage mitm stuff for something" google mitm scenarios that best fit my situation
Same with having the idea of "oh I need all these certs then I can find work"
It's not just about knowing but also about being able to do and keep doing without guidance
literally just use w/e you are comfortable with, and stop asking people for their opinions on the most basic of things or you will never develop your own preferences
Paid 15k$ for entire semester only to get bunch of slackers 
I see
Yeah gamer, if you just need the paper go for something cyber or compaci adjacent tbh most cyber jobs would require a degree that's in information technology or an adjacent study
the best skill you can develop is self sufficiency
the second best skill you can develop is learning how to learn, e.g. googling the questions you have to find answers
As someone who's job was to do cyber outreach for a college it's heavily marketed as "go here and get 6-7 figure job" which is very much far from the truth
I believe my school tuition is $79K a year
Hmm
average salary in my country for fresh graduates and senior didn't reach 6 figures annually 
just getting other people to solve your problems is the best shortcut to failure and immediate loss of interest in what you are trying to learn, because you skip the learning step
That's true
Unless your position as managers. It's not impossible to get 6 figures salary
Yeah, cyber isn't entry level. If you're able to find some entry level IT work even hell desk is good enough to just put your foot in the door
Or junior level network admin or even junior sysadmin positions
I see
WHAT DA HELL
Where is this based
That's too expensive af
mine was like 5k a year

nice
Combine diploma 40k
mine was $0 a year because school is for suckers
its in massachussets and boarding
oh i see
its supposed to be anonymous
i didnt pay nothing for school cuz i used gi bill
Lots of people I go to college with aren't able to find work and might switch careers (not just because of skills but also a lack of good industry connections and XP)
aye aye
Also my city is very shit for finding IT work
College that label themselves as 99% jobs opportunities are the biggest scam

ohh okay. I was thinking how the hell is it $79k in south korea lol
unfortunately the harsh reality of it's not just skills outside of a formal education but also good connections that'll get you a job and being in the right place at the right time
yes
I wish I knew this earlier 
I still belive its worth it
Just don't treat it as a golden ticket
Supplement learning outside of it
maybe this is a dumb question. But. Has anyone here already cracked a real computer using the HTB tecnics? Can u tell us, how you did it?
i think you answered yourself
the first "real" pc i cracked was my exes moms laptop because she forgot the password, and i wish i hadnt
Why are u talking like u saw something you shouldn't have?

Hi is it possible there isnāt enough watt hours to support the replacement if all programming jobs?
nope, you'll help pay for it!
Right but the required watt hours per year are possibly more than all tech or life on earth has the resources to generate
the windows cmd.exe replace thingy trick?
have you seen the matrix?
was a really old macbook
how did you do it sir
The matrix is not necessarily the real world tho
I mean a cyberpunk future is possible but you see my point?
were all gonna be human batteries
