😭 u dont wannt them to get rich?

[summer urchin]

ph

oh

yes

they should get medium

[devout sail]

Unfortunately that won't happen

[summer urchin]

rich people can be greedy

more money != happiness

[devout sail]

Yeah only rich ones say that

[stone marsh]

Just be rich

[mint raptor]

i mean ngl idk its worth it? i dont want that much land etc just basic? while im connected with nature + and still doing security research on side

[summer urchin]

my dad aint rich
we quite poor, yet he is quite happy

[devout sail]

Just buy the money

[lavish sage]

bro said buy the money

[devout sail]

Poor isn't the correct word tbh
Poor people are those who don't have any guarantee of next day food
Or own home and stuff

[lavish sage]

im fucking dead

😭

[worthy cargo]

Money doesn't buy happiness, but it sure solves a lot of problems. It creates problems too though. So 50/50 I guess.

[summer urchin]

oh

then poorer than medium sized incomes

[scenic maple]

doenst that mean we are poor

[lavish sage]

you are poor

buddy golam

[devout sail]

For poor it does create happiness
For middle class and above what u said might be applicable

[scenic maple]

and you arent?

[lavish sage]

i am poor buddy golam

[devout sail]

I remember being like that

[scenic maple]

then its a we buddy zeeshan

[lavish sage]

yes buddy golam

[mint raptor]

its paradoxical? people who have money they dont have much problem in life so they feel empty? and people without money are fixated on money like it will make them happy? but idk its not about money?

it does buy happiness depends where u put it

[worthy cargo]

Well temporary happiness maybe

I don't know

[lavish sage]

it 100% brings happiness

[devout sail]

I'll goto maid cafe if I have lot of money

[lavish sage]

just need some context

[devout sail]

Happiest

[mint raptor]

well happiness itself is temporary so is thee sad state

happiness != peace

if your peace depends on everything going right idk if its peace

[zealous charm]

a rite of passage for bug bounty hunting is getting your home IP banned from every site using akamai

[high cobalt]

Ahaha, our website was once DoSed by someone running ffuf on it ... 😬

[ornate ibex]

not mine as well

[stone marsh]

Well if you ever get hit by someone you paid, and he is using feroxbuster...

[stone marsh]

Our work address was on a Cloudfront blocklist for awhile, that was fun to debug on a kickoff call

[ornate ibex]

I got a website, and I see someone's IP from Ukraine testing daily the same wordlist

And I was like wtf is CF even doing

[high cobalt]

He wasn't paid though xD Dude got blocked. I still don't get why the PHP code runs so badly though 😅

[ornate ibex]

later figured WAF is paid

[stone marsh]

Take pity and just give him a morsel, give him a sandbox

[ornate ibex]

Bro testing for /.env

[fickle kernel]

U set the rate limit on CF, it’s not necessarily going to block random requests to random endpoints with WAF

[rose onyx]

Free pen test bruh

[ornate ibex]

gonna plant a file with rabbit hole contents maybe

or say FK u in it

[stone marsh]

What version of PHP? Sounds old if it was actually causing resource exhaustion

[fickle kernel]

Idk if rate limit is part of their WAF though

[ornate ibex]

until serrver doesn't die cuz of their shit i'm fine ig

[stone marsh]

Nah so this was before I got the guns out. Our IP apparently was just on some sort of default IP deny list they were using

[ornate ibex]

I don't see an option to set on in free CF acc

[high cobalt]

Even 8.2 with symfony on an NFS Share likes to eat 100% CPU on all 4 cores with with just 50req/s o.O no database calls or something like that (or at least it shouldn't), just generated content. Maybe I am just missing some magic configuration flag, but I never got to increase the performance for more requests o.O

[ornate ibex]

Guys, I have a question

[stone marsh]

Configuration sounds a bit funky, but PHP do what PHP dooos.

One of the reasons I am making my web app in Rust and setting a very disgusting rate limit

[high cobalt]

Yeah I tested the Java apps we have ... night and day man

[ornate ibex]

lets say u have a office chair like this, over a period after reclining, u find that the backrest doesn't give enough forward resistance and moves back easily

[ornate ibex]

Right now I keep a pillow so it covers that gap

But I don't like it

I was looking for sec+ PBQ study guides, and this one guy came up on youtube, who wrote his own study platform, and it has this question:

[proper dragon]

I've been pounding away chapters of Rosen's discrete math with appications and I fear I am actually the one being pounded

[austere sigil]

I have always been the black sheep in the family so you can do it

[molten bobcat]

Literally only one correct answer lmao

[fickle kernel]

I mean, 1200 euros per day is what you pay for a big firm for 1 guy, but as a solo freelancer, I don’t think that price is justified at all

[jagged storm]

He claims that there are 2!

[molten bobcat]

Unless -p- works after the ip

[wooden thunder]

Nice, discrete math is fun

[austere sigil]

It’s how it is up here

[molten bobcat]

That's the only one I ain't sure of

[jagged storm]

-p- does work after

[molten bobcat]

Okay so there's 2

Wait

[jagged storm]

But the 4th answer is incorrect, realistically speakig

It only scans top ports, which doesn't satisfy the question

[austere sigil]

-p- in UDP if you are paid by the hour

[proper dragon]

I'm enjoying it. Havent done rigorous math study since grad school though and I feel so rusty

[jagged storm]

If you only scan top ports, you can't say that you know all open ports.

[molten bobcat]

This just feels like a gotcha question to see if you have used nmap before lmao

[fickle kernel]

I heard swiss ppl asking for 1.2 CHF/day for a dev, but basically no one wants to hire them, outside of switzerland🤷‍♂️ Not my market

[jagged storm]

It's his own study platform, so it's not actually from comptia, and I just think he did a shit job at making a question/answer

I can make do with 2 projects and 700/day each

not many companies are willing to invest, and the ones that do are mostly YOLO this and that

Hype economy is real bad for quality investments, but other countries are looking alot more stable and growth oriented

[silver forge]

I guess I could recalibrate my approach but it would take 5-10 hours of actual work

reading quarterly reports, analyst opinions and whatnot

also I should sell the companies that have no further potential, and have risen too much already, but that creates tricky situation with the taxes

I already owe 10k to the taxman

[proper dragon]

wut

if your gov knows how much taxes you should pay, why dont they just send you the fkin number

They do

[tame gust]

after you miss it but an amount ?

or after overpay

[proper dragon]

then they send the cops

and their lawyers

and maybe a tank

That’s on me cause I don’t even claim to pretended like how to deal with that. I made that mistake once and I learned how to deal with it properly.

man I wish they sent me a tank

that would be just so frickin cool

okay so from what i understood there's some bad consequences if you underpay

AI ATS and Resumes

Ohio State sent the same resume to an AI hiring tool twice. Same qualifications. Same experience. Same skills. One version was written by a real human.

The other was secretly rewritten by ChatGPT.

A team from the University of Maryland, the National University of Singapore, and Ohio State just published the receipt. They took 2,245 real human-written resumes pulled from a professional resume site from before ChatGPT existed, so the human writing was actually human. Then they had seven of the most-used AI models in the world rewrite each one. GPT-4o. GPT-4o-mini. GPT-4-turbo. LLaMA 3.3-70B. Qwen 2.5-72B. DeepSeek-V3. Mistral-7B.

Then they asked each AI to pick the better resume. Every model picked itself.

GPT-4o hit 97.6%. LLaMA-3.3-70B hit 96.3%. Qwen-2.5-72B hit 95.9%. DeepSeek-V3 hit 95.5%. The real human almost never won.
Then the researchers tried the obvious objection. Maybe the AI is just better at writing. So they had real humans grade the resumes for actual quality and ran the experiment again, controlling for it. The result was worse. Each AI kept picking itself even when human judges rated the human-written version as clearer, more coherent, and more effective.

It gets worse. The AIs do not just prefer AI over humans. They prefer themselves over other AIs. DeepSeek-V3 picked its own resumes 69% more often than LLaMA's. GPT-4o picked its own 45% more often than LLaMA's. Each model can recognize and reward its own dialect.

Then the researchers ran the simulation that ends careers. Same job. 24 occupations. Same qualifications. The only variable was whether the candidate used the same AI as the screening tool. Candidates using that AI were 23% to 60% more likely to be shortlisted. Worst gap was in sales, accounting, and finance.

99% of large companies now run AI on incoming resumes. Most of them use GPT-4o. The paper just proved GPT-4o picks GPT-4o 97.6% of the time.

@tame gust I went to cane's yesterday, and I saw a guy give away his cane's sauce to his friend. The most illegal thing I've ever seen.

there is a reason the AI ACT actually limits the use of AI in recruiting

I know right?

[zealous charm]

[austere sigil]

Woah I respect that a lot

[silver forge]

the AI act defines AI used for evaluating job applicant as a high risk use case, requiring registration to the officials for extra supervision, risk evaluation and management practices, etc. the requirements are actually pretty nasty, nasty enough that it's actually much easier just not to use AI in recruiting. or risk the penalties of tune of millions of euros.

this is overfitting applied to evaluation rather than prediction

there is very small difference between prediction, generation, and evaluation

So what should I do with my resume? Write it myself or have AI rephrase things?

🙁

[proper dragon]

ignores the signal of the qualifications for the noise of the stylistic composition
absurdly misguided application

[meager kernel]

im using an animated wallpaper on kde plasma and turns out theres quite alot of RAM usage

i wonder why

[silver forge]

tbh most human recruiters are also insanely bad at their jobs, not choosing the correct applicants. I have so much recruitment experience I think I may have an idea how to do it properly, and when I see others recruit it just baffles me what they do...

[balmy basalt]

Could try a mix a bit. But I tend to appreciate the human touch still. Sounds like that might be trickier to get through a first round but better once you get to a person?

[maiden anvil]

@zealous charm checkout the epic lighting here

I attended a virtual career day for my job and set up meetings with multiple different recruiters for the company I work for. All of the people that were near my peers gave me the SSRI flouride stare and had no idea what I was talking about. These people have no clue what goes on in their own company. They seemed to have no drive, no relationships within the company, and no understanding of what goes on in the org. The recruiter that actually pushed me to an HM was some woman who was at the company for like 10 years and knew the gist of what different parts of the org was actually doing

[worthy cargo]

Huh? I'm lost!

[proper dragon]

it's going to get worse too, I know it

[silver forge]

We need to replace a split-dns with something that is actually operable, and deploy a good certficiate management system with ACME, and we need someone to instruct a few dozen teams how to operate those things correctly. And yes, I know nearly everything about the topic as recruiter.

[proper dragon]

if only there were more recruiters like this in the US

[silver forge]

I actually wrote a book about how to manage certificates correctly. 😊

[proper dragon]

Seems like every company needs to pay for agencies to find talent and then that eats into potential salaries

it's insane

crash cant come soon enough

[silver forge]

We might get applicants for the higher profile jobs tested at a 3rd party test center, but head hunting is rarely done.

[proper dragon]

I'm of the opinion that if you need to rely on headhunting as a company you're doing something very wrong

[silver forge]

Lately only the supreme leader (that is his actual official title) has been tested by 3rd party though

[proper dragon]

Exec recruitment firms do make more sense

they are putting in the second canes in my state about 3 miles from here opens up soon

curious how it compares to chickyfila

[jagged storm]

They're very different. If you have not had Cane's, the sauce is legendary

[crimson smelt]

what kinda sauce is it

[molten bobcat]

I like when clients ask me to continue monitoring the environment

[jagged storm]

Cane's

[molten bobcat]

Like we aren't a 24/7 service

[jagged storm]

THis is the only answer. It is unique

[crimson smelt]

i'm not a huge fan of chickyfila sauce

feels like they just put mayo in with something else

[jagged storm]

I used to eat Cane's a lot in TX, but the people up north are weird. Everyone here eats with a fork.

[crimson smelt]

are the sides good at cane's? i hear mixed opinions

[jagged storm]

but it's mainly a vehicle to dip in the sauce

Btw rat, eBpfs on windows make you convert them into drivers or dlls to run them because running an elf file is too easy and they want you to use their shitty C++ toolchains to convert them

[zenith pine]

https://tenor.com/view/an-iq-too-high-raven-crow-tiktok-gif-3869671553367641450

[terse dirge]

The way Microsoft implements them makes zero sense because they're running in a virtual machine there's no reason why you'd have to convert them to drivers or dlls

[jagged storm]

Yeah, and that's not happening without the EDR watching lol

Oh yeah, I was thinking about writing a shellcode library - kinda like msfvenom, but you could hot drop any asm into it, with just a minor edit, and then it could generate whichever you wanted.

[terse dirge]

Maybe but depending on how it's pushed into new windows versions they might just let you pass the elf file anyways (which is the right thing to do) and eBpfs on windows right now is just bpfs

You'd have to write your own extensions to hook into kernel functions and libraries I think unless if you're able to use whatever windows has for tracing for it

It'd be sick af if you can hook into dlls or functions out of the box cause then you can extract credentials

You are honestly the only one I know that will use screen

[worthy cargo]

I been using screen for years

Just used to it I guess

Don't wanna spend time learning tmux

[terse dirge]

I would use something that's not meant to be expendable like using Manjaro instead, arch Linux, or void

And then use Kali in a VM if you get more resources for your laptop

[rose onyx]

Tmux flow does not jive with me, that's why I use zellij

[worthy cargo]

Plus screen and TMUX have a problem

Any single terminal emualtor window split by cli window manager causes problem when copying text with mouse

and using xclip is not very feasible all the time.

So I use tilix

[patent lily]

screen gang

[worthy cargo]

I can split the terminal any which way and they are all individual terminal, I can copy text and other split windows don't mess with it

Mouse copy is the main problem in GNU screen or tmux.

[rose onyx]

That's skill issue and tmux because that's something that can be done

[worthy cargo]

It's not a skill issue if you want to make your life easier.

Computers were meant to make life easy, not harder.

[rose onyx]

No because you can split and copy just what's in the one pane

[worthy cargo]

Not have to come up with workarounds for things that shouldn't even be a problem to begin wth

Not with a mouse. Mouse select the whole line from the terminal, so if it's split vertically, you copy from both splits.

You can pipe it to xclip sure, but who wants to do that.

[turbid goblet]

i mean is it that life changing? i enjoy kali and never had any issues so far

[spiral quail]

does php 8.2.27 have any exploitable vulnerabilities ?

[worthy cargo]

We are not a search engine buddy

[turbid goblet]

i would hate having to install all the tools, that part of hacking is boring

[spiral quail]

Even the search engine failed me gng T-T

I mean it shows 4 but I don't know how to replicate them

[sturdy thistle]

Why you're asking?

[spiral quail]

group project ?

[sturdy thistle]

which one

[spiral quail]

a good one ?

[sturdy thistle]

so you're not honest

[spiral quail]

maybe I am

[worthy cargo]

Honest? He is not lying. He is concealing the truth.

That's not dishonesty

[spiral quail]

😭

[alpine pumice]

searchsploit? exploit-db?

[worthy cargo]

It's not even a lie. It's just he is concealing the truth for some reason, and if he is hiding, then it's probably not for a good cause

[alpine pumice]

google?

[spiral quail]

I'm new to this kind of sorcery kind sir

[patent lily]

lol

you're too new to type php 8.2.27 into exploitdb?

[alpine pumice]

Well if you aren't even sure where to look for existing vulns, how do you even intend to exploit them

[spiral quail]

I'm not exploiting I just wanted to learn 😭

[patent lily]

You want to learn specifically how to exploit php 8.2.27?

Because some site you don't like is running it?

[spiral quail]

ah no

[west lynx]

Get Started with the HTB Beginners Bible: https://www.hackthebox.com/blog/learn-to-hack-beginners-bible

[frosty thistle]

tweak some of the settings >_< or use a vps

i have a vps i pay only like $10 every couple months for

[sturdy thistle]

for hashcat?

[patent lily]

there's vps with gpus

[turbid goblet]

wat settings

[sturdy thistle]

i know

which VPS provider

[patent lily]

you'll have better luck finding something in the web app itself than exploiting php no matter what version tbh

[patent lily]

-O use a wordlist run it on your host os instead of vm...

4gb is enough

[spiral quail]

Ye I just got hit by that , I mean the web had Five open ports on shodan so I thought I might have a chance

[patent lily]

[spiral quail]

I GIVE UP

time to go run some boxes instead

[patent lily]

Yes learn first so you can actually go to jail later cuz right now I don't think you're gonna have any luck

[limber arch]

Bro what is your pfp lmao

[patent lily]

Gary coleman between 2 postal babes

[sick gate]

Blast from the past

[spiral quail]

nah I'm better than going to jail+I ain't into being a bad guy or smth cringy like dat

[sturdy thistle]

this is illegal what you're doing

[patent lily]

you're trying to pop random boxes on shodan

[spiral quail]

dw I can't do shi to begin with

[patent lily]

yess hehe

[sturdy thistle]

stop it

[spiral quail]

ok T-T

[sturdy thistle]

as said it's illegal

[latent oak]

You’ll end up getting into trouble… you likely haven’t got a clue what you’re doing and leaving a log trail back to your Mom’s basement

[spiral quail]

I live alone but....thx ???

[sturdy thistle]

[nimble sun]

now that i can talk, you are a brave soul LOL

Reminds me of that kid in Hackers that got caught at the beginning

[latent oak]

Fine line between bravery and stupidity

[frosty thistle]

meow

[latent oak]

Lol

[nimble sun]

LOL true, im too paranoid to even attempt it

[spiral quail]

mb for existing yall

[nimble sun]

its not existing were ribbing you for its being careless, we dont want you to get in trouble

[latent oak]

lol, you are allowed to exist, of course, and even staying and learning

[nimble sun]

^

[rose onyx]

But hacking something you have no permission to do is universally stupid

[latent oak]

HTB is a great place to learn

[spiral quail]

I thought it's cool to find something in a website and tell em what's wrong, turned out that's also a crime

[turbid goblet]

lmao

[latent oak]

If you aren’t authorized to do it, then yes

There are bug bounty programs

[frosty thistle]

😏 i did some dumbbb stuff as a kid

u grow out of it

[rose onyx]

We all probably did zumi

[turbid goblet]

he said he lives alone

[spiral quail]

those seem hard ngl, lotta people do it

[latent oak]

Well, fortunately you can learn a lot of the skills here

[nimble sun]

You did it tho! you found vulnerabilities and if you were in that program you can safetly report them

[latent oak]

And get paid instead of charged

[frosty thistle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1431407319786328084/1503939179573153922/rat.gif

yes getting arrested isnt fun

🙂‍↕️

[spiral quail]

and get my appartment swatted by local police

[sturdy thistle]

better hunt on allowed program than hacking a site illegally

[latent oak]

I did stupid things as a child, but the internet didn’t really exist

[nimble sun]

😐

Not if you joined an actual bug bounty program

thats what were saying

but i mean hey if you like doing illegal things by all means, i cant stop you

[sturdy thistle]

but we have rules on this server

[spiral quail]

I assure you I'm a law respecting person

[latent oak]

I got kinda arrested when I was 15… driving without a license

[spiral quail]

more like don't wanna end up in jail but works both ways

[nimble sun]

i dont think your getting what were talking about

[sturdy thistle]

same

[spiral quail]

I do guys , I respect that yall didn't straight up kick me and talked some sense instead

[latent oak]

Got pulled over for a traffic violation… when I couldn’t produce a license, they decided I should come with them

[proper dragon]

anyone plan on watching the 24h Nürburgring this weekend?

[sturdy thistle]

[latent oak]

That would be boring for me… i like F1

And rally

[proper dragon]

wut

boring

[rose onyx]

I liek monster trucks

[proper dragon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_SguHHLSzk

[latent oak]

Too slow 😉

Better than Nascar though

[proper dragon]

somebody died on the track in the prequal I think

Nürburgring is top danger

very sad though

[sick gate]

Oh yeah I was actually just testing the locks on the doors and the code to the safe don't mind me

[latent oak]

This is a safe space

[rose onyx]

For the moment

[proper dragon]

the archons and loosh harvesters are preoccupied

[terse dirge]

Hmmm I don't think I am but furries are good at hacking and cyber

[latent oak]

That’s my secret to success
