[molten bobcat]

If you get stuck just pop back here and ask for help in #modules

[frosty thistle]

@turbid goblet

[latent oak]

Illegal

[grim grail]

It's a tool used for ethical hacking

[latent oak]

I use cabledolphin

[grim grail]

[gentle hamlet]

i actually got a 50k bounty from using cabledolphin to acsess the TTAH of the twitter CKA when they had the "problem" and then they contracted me to go full time but i delined

[molten bobcat]

I've hung around more technically advanced friends for a while and I still feel like this some days lol

[limber arch]

i've been to one cyberse conference

[limber arch]

No one really knew anything it was kinda suprisining

[latent oak]

Sure

[grim grail]

do you guys use Kali Linux?

[molten bobcat]

Nah

[limber arch]

One of the talks was on ADCS and I was the only one in the room who knew anything about it

[timid estuary]

nah

[frigid mountain]

https://tenor.com/view/turk-took-our-jobs-jerbs-gif-10165889

[sick gate]

hacking is unethical because its illegal

[latent oak]

AI will do lots of work, but humans still need to intervene / make judgements

[molten bobcat]

Wireshark is not an ethical hacking tool

[raven rain]

mostly offshoring that's hurting the entry-level market

[grim grail]

ever heard of white hat and grey hat hackers?

[molten bobcat]

Just throwing it out there

[grim grail]

thats not true

[molten bobcat]

We've been here for years, they're fucking with you

[sick gate]

it doesnt matter what colour hat you wear while you do it!!

[gentle hamlet]

i feel like youll have to be a level 3 and everyone below tht wont be needed

[frigid mountain]

Question: What makes something ethical vs unethical about a tool? Answer: Permission.

[sick gate]

why are you even wearing a hat indoors, suss

[molten bobcat]

? How, I'm in the field and I know more than you, how could you ever be more correct than I?

[gentle hamlet]

ngl ai damn near scaring me

[turbid goblet]

its legal to listen tho 🙂

[molten bobcat]

Wireshark is used for network traffic analysis.

[latent oak]

I always wear my red fedora outside

[raven rain]

i sure hope it's legal to listen

[proper dragon]

protip: it isnt

[grim grail]

white hat means that you find security holes in a system to then report to the owner to then patch

[molten bobcat]

Homie

[sick gate]

putting on my hat to analyse ADS-B traffic

[raven rain]

gonna have to chop off my ears if it wasn't

[gentle hamlet]

that red hat

[molten bobcat]

Stop typing

Lmao

Please god

[proper dragon]

ill fill your ear with melted cheese

[gentle hamlet]

isnt red hat meant for finding holes hence red team being pen testing

[raven rain]

VegeLasagne is messing with you. they know everything that you're explaining to them

[molten bobcat]

[worn viper]

I wear no hats only hoods

[grim grail]

thats interesting

Using it nowadays makes you look like a noob

[gaunt gale]

If someone gains skills from various hack the box certs, won’t they be less skilled at each area associated at each different certification?

[turbid goblet]

😭

[dusky jacinth]

hm?

[sick gate]

if someone gains more skills will they be less skilled?

[dusky jacinth]

that's how I read that

[sick gate]

thats how it reads

[dusky jacinth]

I'm glad i'm not alone on that one

[sick gate]

unc touched keyboard and that came out

[dusky jacinth]

Do you mean if like someone pursues web they won't be as good at AD?

[turbid goblet]

lmaoo

[gentle hamlet]

so yes

[dusky jacinth]

cause last time I checked

that's how studying works

[gaunt gale]

Like if someone has CWEE, CAPE, CPTS, COAE, and CWPE, doesn’t that mean they are less skilled at web exploitation than someone who does CWES > CWEE > three years of bug hunting?

[dusky jacinth]

...

[gaunt gale]

Even if they do all those certs and practice skills from each one?

[sick gate]

if you create a hypothetical situation where one person has more skills than another then yes, that person has more skills

[iron galleon]

https://tenor.com/t0qEibSWSNd.gif

[dusky jacinth]

[turbid goblet]

this is answerabke by 4th grade logic and critical thinking

Yeah, people are more than the certs they have lol

[dusky jacinth]

Also like let's just track that logic rq okay?

[sick gate]

RIP

[proper dragon]

[molten bobcat]

That's already way too much

[dusky jacinth]

if someone who strictly studies web dev/web exploitation tries to do AD

would they be good at AD

yes or no

[molten bobcat]

I know how to ride a bike, how good am I at driving?

[iron galleon]

guys stop with the hard questions

theyre too difficult

[molten bobcat]

[dusky jacinth]

I don't even mean to be mean. I actually just wanna help you see the logic here

[proper dragon]

[sick gate]

if i can do a 900 on a skateboard but only got my drivers license the other week is lewis hamilton a better driver than me?

[gaunt gale]

No but is someone skilled at both better at web or as good t it as someone who just does web or does AD not contribute to web skills?

[iron galleon]

and do boxes

Just do one

pick one

do that

[frosty thistle]

hahahaha fr
but its client side not network side :3
unless like im on a client side thats mointoring my cli then yes

[terse dirge]

Need to get this man some currywurst 🔥

[dusky jacinth]

till done

[gentle hamlet]

i had multiple sponors i looked into at the conference

[turbid goblet]

i have a good idea

go train thm's model

[dusky jacinth]

New insult unlocked

[frosty thistle]

i think academy is good for the price ^^

[gentle hamlet]

isnt it 8$ if im a student

[molten bobcat]

$7

[latent oak]

Yes

[molten bobcat]

But ye

[latent oak]

$8 CDN

[gentle hamlet]

how fast can i learn this stuff

[molten bobcat]

Ahh

[molten bobcat]

This is a bad question

[gentle hamlet]

yeah

definitly is

[molten bobcat]

Please don't study cybersecurity because you think it'll be quick and easy

It's definitely the exact opposite

Lmao

[gentle hamlet]

i dont at all

[sick gate]

i did sec+ red team job when

i love red teaming i found out about it yesterday

[terse dirge]

For the sauce I just use pickle Heinz ketchup and curry powder 🔥 it's really really good

[sick gate]

its my lifes passion

[gentle hamlet]

yeah ik im in school for a bacholers in it and the ammount in need to learn out of it jsut to start is nuts

[latent oak]

Whatever pace you learn at, it will still feel good

[gentle hamlet]

lmao

[molten bobcat]

I'm gonna be learning this shit for the rest of my life, there's so much I don't know and I'll never know

[gentle hamlet]

i badly need to get out of HVAC and into tech

so i can focus more time on it

[latent oak]

Same, I’ve been really training in it since 2018 and I learn new things all the time

[gentle hamlet]

if i could have choosen one thing it would have been programming i loved it so much and it was so easy for me that all i did all day but i feel like its fading away

[molten bobcat]

I know the feeling. Studied hard to get out of healthcare

[frosty thistle]

to get where i am at now if we count learning IT it took about 5 years but its different for everyone

[gentle hamlet]

the hardest for me is remembering commands/names

[molten bobcat]

That comes with practice don't worry bout it

[gentle hamlet]

like i know what things do but can remember what to type

[molten bobcat]

I don't have every fuckin command memorized lmao

[latent oak]

Before I moved into security I was in software for 20 years

[gentle hamlet]

makes me wanna go nuts

[frosty thistle]

i still struggle cx
if its something i use all the time like nmap -p- ill reemember but some obscure switch on like smbmap or something no
so thats why we have man and -h or --help

[gentle hamlet]

well im going to training friday and conference saturday

and going to every bsides i can get too this year

saving PTO just for it

bout to make this crap my life

[molten bobcat]

It's more valuable for you to sit down and learn than it is to attend things, but by all means do it for funsies

[gentle hamlet]

and all free time training

[gentle hamlet]

just for networking

[frosty thistle]

a neat trick smokey is if you know kinda know what switch you want but cant remember you can do this
program --help | grep -i 'thingIamThinkingAbout'

[molten bobcat]

Conferences are cool places to meet people or learn things you would have never thought of

[gentle hamlet]

whats that

[frosty thistle]

it will print just the part relevant

[molten bobcat]

So there's a couple Linux tricks in there you didn't explain zumi lmao

[turbid goblet]

i didnt learn or meet anyone at my first bssides

just took 3rd at the ctf and left lmao

[molten bobcat]

You used a pipe and he doesn't know what a pipe is brah

[frosty thistle]

╰─❮ nmap --help | grep -i 'port range'
  -p <port ranges>: Only scan specified ports
  --exclude-ports <port ranges>: Exclude the specified ports from scanning

[molten bobcat]

There we go

But yeah, uh

[latent oak]

That’s cool. bsides are fun. Htb will get you a lot of knowledge, but if you’ve got no background in software or networking, there are some fundamentals you will need to pick up as well…

[molten bobcat]

Pipe in Linux means "after this step, do this"

It's the long line character like | this

[gentle hamlet]

yeah i need to learn linux commands

bad

[frosty thistle]

oh you are that beginner

oh ok

[molten bobcat]

Ye

[frosty thistle]

oops

[molten bobcat]

I was gonna say

[latent oak]

Maybe also try overthewire.org

[terse dirge]

I wonder if I still have that jar of pickles in the fridge

[gentle hamlet]

i do from high school and im doing netowkring in college for my cyber degree

so like i am getting basics

[molten bobcat]

Just take things a step at a time

I promise that strong understanding of the basics carries so hard

[frosty thistle]

https://linuxcommand.org/
@gentle hamlet

[molten bobcat]

It's like learning the laws of the land and being able to immediately spot when someones doing something wrong

[latent oak]

They start with wargames that are designed to teach linux commands while solving progressively difficult challenges

[gentle hamlet]

ooo

[turbid goblet]

or be me and learn that tree is also a windows cmd after 5 years

[molten bobcat]

Lmao

[gentle hamlet]

definitly going to try over th wire

[gentle hamlet]

ty

[molten bobcat]

tree is a commonly used binary by scammers to trick people into thinking there's hackers in the computer

By executing a command that just prints a ton of text very fast lmao

[gentle hamlet]

tree

[molten bobcat]

Less educated people get tricked by things going faster than they can read

[frosty thistle]

DUDE I GOTTA SHARE SOMETHING WITH U

did you know this
ls -fo -re

works in windows

[terse dirge]

Yessir! I do in fact still have it

[frosty thistle]

ls forreal

[gentle hamlet]

brb school work gotta get finsihed

[molten bobcat]

It alias's to the appropriate commands

Cat = type and all that shit

[frosty thistle]

even -recurs works

[turbid goblet]

ps alias tho?

[frosty thistle]

its so weird

[molten bobcat]

Is this in powershell or cmd

[frosty thistle]

powershell

[dusky jacinth]

pwoershell

[frosty thistle]

its super weird

[dusky jacinth]

ls isn't aliased in cmd

[molten bobcat]

Yeah I think there's Linux aliasing

Yes it is

[frosty thistle]

not the ls PART im talking about the -fo -re

lol

[molten bobcat]

BUT CLEAR AND CLS?

NAH

YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHICH IS WHICH LMAO

[dusky jacinth]

yup

or CTRL + L

if you have that ability on the shell

[frosty thistle]

also sc in powershell is not sc in cmd

its very annoying

[molten bobcat]

Thanks I hate it lmao

[dusky jacinth]

that's why I never use cmd

[molten bobcat]

Why would anything be designed to make sense

[dusky jacinth]

I didn't know about the flags though

that's cool

[latent oak]

Different engineering teams

[frosty thistle]

sc is Set-Content in pwsh
and sc is sc.exe in cmd

[dusky jacinth]

Well yknow what this is a great point

there was what 4K devs on like the windows 10 team?

maybe more? I could have my numbers way off

that's a lot of people

[latent oak]

Yerp

[frosty thistle]

theres also net.exe and net1.exe that do the same exact thing

lmfao

[dusky jacinth]

wait what?

[frosty thistle]

i know why the other one exists

yes

[molten bobcat]

I knew about that one

[dusky jacinth]

for what reason?

[frosty thistle]

it was to solve the roll over in year 2000

[molten bobcat]

Lmaooo

[frosty thistle]

which didnt do anything

[dusky jacinth]

you really learn something new every day

[molten bobcat]

Yeah its a fuckin leftover from Y2K prep

That's funny as hell

[frosty thistle]

LMAO

its so funny

funnier they just kept it too

like wtf

[molten bobcat]

Yep just kept it

When you have to justify a weird purchase to your partner lmao

[frosty thistle]

ikrrrr

[molten bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/i-carly-watcha-got-there-smoothie-gif-11706255

[latent oak]

Windows is just a collection of old code wrapped in new code

Lots of leftover nonsense…

[frosty thistle]

windows is entertaining

[latent oak]

Linux is the same… there’s a reason kernel updates take time… there’s a resistance to touch something that “works”

[rancid swallow]

Morning

[latent oak]

Even making a small change could introduce new vulns or performance issues, or break compatibility with some old piece of hardware

[molten bobcat]

That exact same logic is behind every bank on the planet lmao

If it works don't touch it

Now we're butting up against the inevitable that no client ever seems to foresee

[muted olive]

new copilot code

[molten bobcat]

Needing to bring down a host to update it is like, a sin lmao

Needing to bring down a host, at all, is a sin lmao

Uptime, at all costs

I've told a client their server was actively being exploited

And they refused to bring it offline

I told them this was a very very stupid and risky thing to do

They accepted the risk

Officially no longer my concern lmao

[lime trout]

ehh

[molten bobcat]

No, emma

[rancid swallow]

[lime trout]

if your at the scale where uptime is that critical, you shouldnt be measuring host up-time / reliant on a single box

[molten bobcat]

Every single org I've worked with views loss of uptime as a direct loss of money

[lime trout]

service uptime matters

not host

[molten bobcat]

Yeah, emma

[lime trout]

if its that critical it should be HA 😭

[molten bobcat]

Do you really think they have an infrastructure that supports that?

Lmaoo

[lime trout]

should

[molten bobcat]

Business always put mission critical shit directly on the WAN

It doesn't matter lmao

[lime trout]

i just hope companies run things better then my shitty homelab lmao

[gentle hamlet]

where do i add scool info in acct

[molten bobcat]

Purchase cybersecurity insurance, hire soc for bare minimum, ignore soc and make as much money as possible while praying you're bought out by a private equity firm

[sick gate]

if i were to have downtime i would simply create redundancy

take that

[molten bobcat]

He holds his arms out, stopping both planes from hitting the towers

[dusky jacinth]

heeeeell yeah

[karmic panther]

yo has anyone done the siem fundamentals course, is elastic always this cooked

i get like 5 minutes of network errors in elastic for every one new filter i add

[untold summit]

hello

[silver forge]

if it's set up correctly it gives you all the answers in 50-100 ms

[karmic panther]

yeah its quick for like 2-3 filters, then 5 minutes of downtime after i add the fourth

[silver forge]

it shouldn't care. I run daily queries with 50+ parameters and it doesn't change the performance

it's all running on super efficient database indexes

[silver forge]

the most common issue is not giving it enough memory. for example, you give the jvm 32 gigabytes of memory. on top of that the Lucene uses native memory, which people rarely realize. do you need 64 gigabytes of memory in total. the amount depends on your cluster configuration, amount of data, etc., but as a rule of thumb the jvm size can be only half of the node's total memory.

[karmic panther]

right, but I don't have control over the target vm's memory allocation, my guess is the kibana instance spawns in a vm with insufficient memory causing issues...

It's alright though, managed to get through the parts, just had to wait a while in between

very good on bratwurst

I'd love to try sauerkraut with it cause fermented and pickled foods are great for you altho I do have some dill pickles in the fridge

they probably wouldn't be that great with currywurst tho

Try meal prepping with a flavor wheel

I think you might enjoy it. You can experiment on paper before commiting to the ingredients

Is that curry

curry powder with sausage

[terse dirge]

yeah and ketchup

[green kite]

man its too early for sausages

[terse dirge]

I will look into it, thanks. I try not to experiment too much and try to just use things like pickled onions or foods I already enjoy a bunch

[elfin yacht]

Hmm interesting choice

[rotund forge]

sweet and sour go well together if your using pickles it adds a tangyness to it. I'm thinking of the ketchup that's there adding the sugars with the fattiness of the brat

Idk spending time on the food version of stack exchange is kinda funny imo

[terse dirge]

lol

Hey what's up folks 🙂

[terse dirge]

yeah, traditionally I think it's made with tomato paste, tomato juice, coke, and some seasonings for the sauce

I had this year old tomato pickle ketchup laying around instead tho

next week I should do Korean BBQ

[rotund forge]

looking into lipolysis and how mold interacts with food

[rotund forge]

good choice

[terse dirge]

not sure what carb to have with it tho, maybe I'll make noodles instead of rice

[rotund forge]

[rotund forge]

[past acorn]

[worthy cargo]

My ex got mold toxicity from black mold a few years ago and she's still sick from it, she became hypersensitive to smells and a lot worse.

Mold is bad. Black mold is double bad.

@scenic maple

[scenic maple]

hello?

[past acorn]

do you know why or are they gonna add paypal as payment option?

[scenic maple]

no i do not
if they add paypal option you will most likely see an announcement

[terse dirge]

nice, I'll probably just use a bulgogi marinade with beef or pork and boil some noodles and zap vegies in the microwave

[rotund forge]

ohh man that sounds awful man. Myotoxicity is a real danger.
