Have you been reading my blog?
Hey guys
Good and yourself
Killing myself with work…
im both envious and sympathetic. I broke my arm so I had to take a break from school so now i have nothing to do
I fell outside my school and went to catch myself LOL
Ouch
aperently thats the most common reason for those types of breaks
surprised this is the first time
Spent two days straight dealing with a technical issue… every time I solved one thing, I uncovered another… it was a multi-layered thing
weird, wonder why
@latent oak red teaming ?
Furries are trash at hacking
@crude island i wish
Yes thats correct
It was a development task
Are ok
Building tools for generating SBOMs
oof
@crude island did you get a chance to try out bloodhound-tui yet?
sounds monotonous
I will be fully diving into tonight
It was frustrating, because I was sure I’d be done by this morning, kept finding errors, fixing, finding a new set
Coding in what language?
Ive only heard it once lol
This is in fact factually wrong
Really?
Huh
I honestly dont blame you, i usually use AI to make sure I didnt completely break something or if I just cant figure it out myself since im pretty new
I cant tell you how many times ive had to put out a fire that way when building a blog or something
Bloodhound ass
I really use Claude… I’m being flippant about languages
Hell yea that's cool
It seems claude is the go to for coding and other cybersec things
Claude is goated with the cyber exception
Check out https://gitlab.com/Eggzy/bloodhound-tui
Just added a custom query tab. Examples
`type:user AND admincount:true` – users with AdminCount=1.
`type:user AND hasspn:true AND enabled:true` – Kerberoastable users.
`type:user AND (dontreqpreauth:true OR passwordnotreqd:true)` – AS-REP roastable or password not required.
`type:computer AND unconstraineddelegation:true` – computers with unconstrained delegation.
`type:group AND name:"Domain Admins"` – the Domain Admins group.
edge:GenericAll -> type:group – principals that have GenericAll on any group.
edge:WriteDacl -> type:user – principals that can write DACL on any user.
type:user AND (edge:AddMember -> type:group) – users who can add members to any group.
type:computer AND haslaps:false – computers without LAPS.
type:computer AND isdc:true – domain controllers.
Next is to do some autocomplete in the custom query tab
WAWAAAAA :3
W< MEEEOWWWW ~!
MRRRP MRROW
MRROW ~! :3 >W< OwO~~~
autocompletion works when you press tab and put in a run button and paste button for pasting copied queries into the terminal
And clicking on any results loads it in the explore tab
great job dude, proud of you
100% vibe coding with me as the real human debugger
But still, thanks. It's still effort
Wasup
Tackling some coding issues with Deepseek V4
What are you up to?
hey! im quite new to this anyone able to help? :)
Get Started with the HTB Beginners Bible: https://www.hackthebox.com/blog/learn-to-hack-beginners-bible
im moving into a junior role really soon but would love to also practice labs but also be taught more is there any recommendations?
indeed xD
I hate the neo4j setup
thats why i made my own now xD
it's one of the oddest technology selections around
neo4j has soul
Does this Attack Path display make sense? @rancid swallow and others.
no.
Junior role as?

hmmmm
SOC
put on the socks SOC
awww thats cute
need to have a cert role, or be hacker rank :3
theres some more exceptions but thats the most common

I saw that @signal flame
I deleted the post. And I'm editing an email to bans@hackthebox.com
My "Unlisted" writeup on Medium got crawled by google
wow saw this gif after a long time
I'll check it out today but dn't put them in unlisted if the links can still be clicked on and viewed. must be removed entirely.
Yes I've removed them
Cheers ❤️
why not password protect it?
Medium doesn't like htb writeups either fwiw
Okay thanks for the advice :3

Stop zumi
why :c
¯_(ツ)_/¯
wow this place changed so much!! tho whole HTB website UI changed!
convincing argument
Any time for you bb
^^
the 2020 UI looks so nostalgic now
i started jan 2020
Yeah we missed prior version
I started HTB in 2024 too
They had a chat box
idk anything about those days
I wish I'd known about it years ago
staying up till 12:30am in my timezone on Sunday for new machine to drop
only for Xct to get user in 5mins
hahaha!!
sounds about right
Forum last I recall was set to read only, it should still be up unless they took it down in the past week
yea back then everyone was using forums to learn, get nudges and hints
Hello
GM GM
how we all doing today
hellooo im alright
i remember finishing Blackfield in september 2020


took me more than a week sheesh!
how are the machines these days?
more web focused?
idk i dont do them
oh you're interested in pwn/rev?
Poor at best with a gem every 2-4 months.
noooo im working on cape one of htb's certs
awww
machines in the past had soul
so much to learn
even from an easy box... so much to dig into.. hours after you have pwned
i only find the insane boxes to be worth time
They did, now it's 1-2 cve, with unrelated logic
so you find cve and then just get foothold?
More or less.
wow! yea im not that good haha
aw man, back then we had to poke around and discover stuff, then exploit it manually... so much excitement
you mean you dont get excited just guiding AI through the boxes?
hello, Mr Altman? I found another
you guys use AI to do machines?
i was being facetious
Most of the time I have no idea why a machine exists other than to showcase a cve and the author didn't know how to tie it together, or steps involved are just illogical.
i mean i left the security arena long ago
if I was using AI I wouldnt still be noob 
ohh... wow that simply changed the vibe then. From 2020 to now
those years were wonderful times
you should check out those old beauties
wait lemme give you a list
not related but you like racing ?
YEA!!
are you ready for 24H Nurburgring
yep!
Verstappen and Haase are going to be a joy to watch
where can you see the boxes you did?
cant see them in my profile
did they take away that feature? and the skill matrix?
By the way, there's a flaw on Academy authentication logic. I'm still able to access Academy using the active session cookie created before receiving a ban
Kinda and yes
If you go to machines and retired filter by completed

Someone pin this
what do you mean "sometimes"
@scenic maple pin this please
He's not going to pin shi tho 🥀 
😩 😩 😩 😩
It is exactly what I want to say about machines but without F bombs
at least there haven't been recent clown incidents
to those who don't know, there was a web box that showed an image of a clown and played a sound of a scream every time you tried to enumerate it manually and did something it didn't like
it was possibly the most annoying box ever made
Hello
Hi
any academy modules that will prepare me for reverse engineering challenges?
maybe intro to malware analysis a little bit?

Tier IIII 🙁
alr, I'll look at that one as well
New roman number detected
invalid roman numeral
Tier IV
thats better
0xTejas has access to all modules
me have access to <= Tier II
Yes
student sub?

yah
i did cpts with that
u guys need more mods?
jk
I will too
2 months of student sub for all the modules in cpts
Mods don't have that perks 
I'm an employee
Oh then just purchased da exam voucher?
yes
mods have enterprise smh
who said
a mod
gonna find that mod and terminate
nicee

I'll give you 1 cube for the info
i can do that rn but me succ at web , so i better not do it yet lol
I shall take whatever I get lol
thank you


epic embed fail
XD
ask him not to
I raise you Superman 1 Million
guys, hop on the finals
was that the superman that spent a million years in the sun or something?
even still, dragon ball characters can just casually destroy galaxies
the powerscaling is just broken
The true superheroes are mothers 👏
Chat, I’m arguing with people that we will force update their browsers and that it will be restarted. People don’t want browser restarts, coz “muh tabs”
Why is security like kindergarten
Remote in and do it yourself
Nah, we have a solution to do it in a managed way, but they are complaining

My boss called me to check on this, coz he also never shuts down his laptop or close his apps

you can reopen closed tabs pretty easily if browser restarts/crashes
Try to explain that to ppl who would think it’s inconvenient to shut down their laptop
just remote into their laptop and restart it that way 
jk jk don't

@summer urchin @supple plume
Funniest way to win... 10mins rapid btw...
But the pawn is checkmate potential
there's people who hold on till the end in hopes of a stalemate
and im like.. why tho
the point is to get better at chess, not to win on technicalities

It's the belief that my opponent can't prove their checkmate
I do to, but with less than 10 seconds on the clock and him only being up a horse and a few pawns I take those odds
i mean sure
i've seen that when you get to a higher rating, there's more "honor"
like people resign more easily
It’s not even honor, but if youre high elo, you can assume with 99.9% confidence that your opponent isn’t dumb enough to not convert it to a victory
that too
losing any material against your opponent without a strategy is basically a death sentence
they'll start forcing trades and running towards the endgame
Ye
so just resign
Hey, at least I don't abbandon the game if I know it's lost, I actually do resign
Yeah I hate those who have so much ego that they abandon the game when they know they are losing, the game.
Nah you can still blunder some endgames up 3 pawns
yes
I think you should keep playing if you are under 2000 elo
I think you should keep playing if you are under 1500 elo
i've never played against actual elo so i have no measure
its better than lichess tho its been a while since i was on there
I also haven’t played otb but i was like 1700 rapid and then i came back after a break and jumped to 1850 while playing worse
Feels like inflation
u sure ur playing worse
Yes
ah fuck, here we go again
weird
oof

im like 1500 rapid and it doesnt feel much different
tho i dont play as much as i used to
max i've been like 1650 i think
Chess is fun, best way to improve is to spam puzzles and review your games
Also if you play mainly rapid try to switch it up to blitz sometimes to get more used to having low time
i tried blitz, didnt like it, not enough time to think
you're beating the time more than the game in a way
Yah that’s true to some extent but you can play with 2 sec increment to not flag
its like what dubov said
in blitz, u can be drunk
you just need luck
lol
yeh just blunder intentionally to eat up time

just sac the queen when your opponent has 2 secs

This my goatee and I like it
does it count as auth if you ask nicely and they give them to you
hmm

if you ask to the human, it may count as AUTH because they're thinking and validating and questioning your need, if you directly request something from the server and if they're configured to 100% return the values without any regret and thinking, it doesn't count as AUTH
bleh
trim the ones poking out and you'll look great
you look like the guy from the "dont talk to strangers" signs
goatee because you cant grow the sides? or by choice
rounds up
sup sup
been working on an ssh app for my new C2 😄
Aye I need to finish up my projects
My pwntools in Rust was almost good
just needed to clean up
nice
was fully functional
but empty on github? 😅 https://github.com/frostb1ten/pwntools-rs
Was working on a pwntools (https://github.com/Gallopsled/pwntools) in Rust just as a fun side project - frostb1ten/pwntools-rs
because I was planning on releasing
then got busy
should be ezpz
it's all good, I also have a bunch of unfinished stuff 
I really wanted to dive into windows eBPFs then got insanely demotivated because you have to convert the bpf you compiled with clang to something windows native for some reason or a dll/sys file
at that point it's just a driver not an ebpf 
*paint
omg I almost forgot, there's a new the boys episode
Almost friday
is alright
1 more episode
I was looking through my Wazuh logs today
Looks like someone is trying real hard to tryhackme
seems like they know all the domains and trying basic wpscan, but I don't run wp. All my sites are static. hugo static site generator.
could be a bot
seen some bots trying to pop CVEs with busybox once 💀
yeah it's in the settings
The white bright background is killing my eyes
it should be somewhere in advanced settings
https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh-dashboard/issues/70 describes it, but i can't find advanced settings
Wazuh changed settings and moved things around. There is no stack management anymore that I can see
found it
dashboard management > advanced settings
hey paint
pain
i want vip in htb for month: Order Summary Monthly VIP+ Subscription $25.00 USD Coupon Code Subtotal $25.00 USD DE VAT 19% $4.75 USD Order Total $29.75 USD. I have code for 30$ discount, so do I need to pay something or it free?
free
thanks
hmm actually, idk how coupon works, credits are auto applied, but idfk if 30$ coupon works on 29..99$ bill xD
just try it ig
Bots are trying every shit they know. Nothing new. As soon as you have a service on the internet, you get bots and scanned, even if it's linked nowhere
yup
Seems there's another one :p
how was the content?
I'm debating that as my next course
Whats that?
I’ll go to an offsec meetup, hope they’ll gib me voucher for OSAI, coz I ain’t buying that
Good luck with that
I’ll make do with an OSEP voucher too
Hot 🔥 🥵
@sturdy thistle please ping @austere sinew for her birthay at least once a day
For reference, this is a tweet from a person who released the last major Linux LPE (Fragnesia)
Going by the name? A QEMU 0day
on it

bro has a data center
all that compute just to run minecraft
burpsuite browser with 30 tabs

u will get her birthday correct at some point
let's not get too crazy
@sturdy thistle sir
hello @austere sigil sir
Please ping tejas
@austere sigil stop pinging @sturdy thistle unless it is to ping @austere sinew
how about?
must be calculating your net worth with that big of a number
brotha
my laptop ran out of memory cuz of chrome and vscode
That’s because of light mode
use vim
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Oh ... no ...
Don't tell me it's a VM escape?
bro gonna drop it on twitter when the market value for QEMU escape is like 100-200k
a person I know found vm escapes for both virtualbox and vmware a few months back
They dropped the last LPE on Twitter when those are like $75k :p
some people just want to see the world burn
and some people want microsoft to burn
Might be - No-one knows. All we know is that the last thing the person posted in this format was legitimate.
i just want this company to pay me, its fkin 14th may, and still no pay golam
straigh abuse
thats outrageous sir heathers
@austere sinew Yup, you asked for it

Responsible disclosure is 60 days without response, 90 days with (Assuming additional time hasn't been negotiated).
yes i'am going home, dont feel like finishing a full day of work with still no pay
Just so you know, I used to work 5 days a week 9-5 with $150/month in IT. 
root your cloud provider 
its not even the first time they done this, and its Eid adha lol
Did the same - Although it was 6 days a week from 8-8 - Also about $150/month though
i started with that too LMAO, TWIN
What ur contract says
it says the 1st of every month
It should say what’s the latest u get paid each month
my contract says i'll be getting paied between 1-5
but they been paying us over 14th every month now
i'am considering resining
I used to earn $200-300/month from my homemade mushrooms production
Contracts are rarely strictly followed - They're just rarely violated to the point that a lawyer will be worth your time.
You always do buddy
I see
last time i did i got a raise
Golam = cat
You may want to look for a job, and resign when said job is acquired.
last time my colege sent an email complaining about the late pay, and he legit @ everyone, and got suspended later
What if I have no job and want to look for a job?
At that point there's no need to resign :p
He went out with dignity
its also im tired of explaining the difference between OSPF and static routes to this. mfkers
It seems Im not skilled enough for a job rn
he was goated, and they most person rhat understood me
going to labour court is pretty chill atleast in EU
i prefer SPF 50
Arch user here
Everyone laugh at him
Or her
If you're willing to work for $1 / hour, there's plenty of jobs :p
its not here
where is there
morroco my friend
there is obviously not here
I was hoping something in pentesting 🥺
Marcie please
hi candy
you learn while doing the actual work, you should only have the capacity for learning and doing research, which you already have
💀 how did you know
...
Hi
You seem like you're trying - You're already in the top 5% of candidates :p
it's in your username
Ohh yeah
_candy_29
I forget that

i legit learned everything while doing work
top 10 OSINT moments
Dont be a red teamer buddy
Hmmmm
jsut dive in dont overthing it
Im currently in college, no company in my country hires freshers
I'm afk
maybe start with helpdesk ?
don't you have trade unions in morocco
its a long story of monopoly
But Im not able to study nowadays
It's because you're doing HTB
??
maybe try changing your setup (desk, keyboard ... etc)
i've hit a wall before, and oddly enough changing my setup actually helped me lock in again lol
Why not work for 1$ in Pentesting? 
touch grass then lol
And migrate to the mountains
Too much ricing does that to a mf
i've never riced before
Make mushrooms and sell mushrooms
the true goal of any hacker: become a farmer
Its not even about ricing
Im just tired of computers in general
I dont feel like gaming, studying or anything
I want to break my PC rn
Congrats, you reached "I want to become a (goat) farmer" stage
Like just take a hammer and smash it through
the fanciness of your terminal prompt is inversely proportional to the number of bugs you find
you know what's wild about goats? if the incline is 89 degrees, they can just walk that shit
Kind of an early maturation considering the fact that Im 19 and unemployed
So I am not really in IT because I don't want to own a farm to escape IT? 😔
Yes, that true
for example @fickle kernel can hire me and give me unpaied work to do, but he hate me
Their hooves are pretty fucking crazy
you're just in the denial stage
Me wanting to do this rn
Yes you do??? What are you talking about
Well, reaching this stage at 19 is another level 💀
And just not come back for a while
smash the box
But ewww, physical labor
Eww, dirt
Ewww, literal bull shit
You're Eww'ing at what's keeping you alive
Buddy I cant hire anyone (legally)
how have you been btw
Okay you got a point but ... thats still nothing for meee
My end goal is to become a chicken farmer
My end goal is to become a mushroom farmer bc I love mushrooms
@terse dirge wants to do agriculture
One day, we’re thinking of developing som security product/service with an ex-colleague, but I won’t commit with my own money to something I don’t believe in, so it’s still a bit of planning
Okay mushroom farmer sounds nice. Although I would much rather prefer something more artistic if I chose to cancel tech. Maybe something with wood? Or writing.
Wood carver?
Sounds interesting
You wanna farm wood?
why dont you offer tuturing as well ? like there's a lot we can learn from you
i would 500% pay
That’s part of what I want to do
Yeah for example
Is this like the final stage of a tech employee?
Do tech for many years and then just abandon tech forever?
Secure development type of workshops
would it be like course & exercies ?
Tech sucks
Hello burned out
Burns you out
Probably we’d have those, but I was thinking live tutoring too
Earns you nothing
But it's intellectually challenging
why not both, well yeah i would 100% roll in when you do
cooking a new machine and debugging is shit
Its just pattern recognition

I don't find hacking intellectually challenging
That’s what we need to plan out basically
Then you aren't doing it right 
It's literally just research
Effort-wise it’s a lot of work to develop modules like that
And then memorize the solution
And then recognize the same pattern in a new problem
And then apply the solution you have
But there is also such a vast variety of things
Live training even more effort, but I’m good at live tutoring, so I’d like to do shit like that
yeah, can only imagine especially if you're targeting beginners, but i would want to learn from you low level stuff, not many sources do a good job of explaning this kind of things
we bout to get WiseFrog face reveal before gta6
The modules would be for beginners, but I’d like the live tutoring type shit to be for actual devs working at companies
Are you saying this isn't a picture of him???
no he kinda brad pitt himself
What do you get from goose?
What you can never get from Microsoft
mostly spit but sometimes meat
I think my linkedin wasn’t overly difficult to find based on the certs I have, I hid the profile pic first, but now it’s hibernated
ms teams, endless troubleshouting and ACL's, and sometimes your workflows work.
So good luck osinting my ass
software engineering 
Wise why cant i just follow you on linkedin
Coz my profile is hibernated
Too many recruiters up your butt?
my G you basically a celebrity
Thats only 1 reason, but not the main one
Some people thirst for a job, some of them drown in it
no body want to learn you a sexy fella
But I am
What's the main reason then?
connect with me on linkedin then
frog
cmon
Is that a challenge?
Being overemployed
Ah yeah linkedin would make that obvious
bro's suffering from success
Hello
Some companies post selfies of their new employees as well. Would make it very awkward
I give you a business idea: Sell access to your account to these poor unemployed fellas here

I used to be an instructor, if you'd wanna chat about anything feel free to ping :)
Could you instruct me
instruct me as i'm 5
Instruct me like I am high


Technically I’m not overemployed, coz I just do freelancing while being an FTE, but no one will hire you as a freelancer for long running projects if they know you’re FTE too
Did you complete frogfetch
Nah got swept up with work stuff 
its on the list tho
Still very much in POC stages
Yeah
drop the .conf colors please
But I'm no longer gonna work on this
There is no .conf lol everything is hardcoded in the binary source code
bro you're using kitty
talking about the color schems ?
The terminal?
Probably will do if we commit to this direction, I also did classes at one point at university, but that’s different than convincing people to pay me big bucks to keep workshops or some shit
yeah
depending on how you wanna build a pricing model ofc
What's probe??
#pragma once
#include <expected>
#include <format>
#include <string>
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#include <windows.h>
#include "registry.hpp"
namespace probes
{
[[nodiscard]] std::expected<std::string, DWORD> get_cpu();
[[nodiscard]] std::expected<std::string, DWORD> get_gpu();
[[nodiscard]] std::expected<std::string, DWORD> get_hostname();
[[nodiscard]] std::expected<std::string, DWORD> get_motherboard();
[[nodiscard]] std::expected<std::string, DWORD> get_os();
[[nodiscard]] std::expected<std::string, DWORD> get_username();
} // end of probes namespace.
std::println finally
Yeah, that’s what we are early stages in to figure out what we want to build to support it, and the live training would most likely be a way to get people onto the learning platform, it’s very much just a wild idea at this point
such a good thing
I.e.
[[nodiscard]] std::expected<DWORD, LSTATUS> read_registry_dword(HKEY root, const char* sub_key, const char* value_name)
{
DWORD value = 0;
DWORD byte_count = sizeof(value);
if (const auto status = ::RegGetValueA(
root,
sub_key,
value_name,
RRF_RT_REG_DWORD,
nullptr,
nullptr,
&byte_count);
status != ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
return std::unexpected{status};
}
if (const auto status = ::RegGetValueA(
root,
sub_key,
value_name,
RRF_RT_REG_DWORD,
nullptr,
&value,
&byte_count);
status != ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
return std::unexpected{status};
}
return value;
}
Linux I literally just opened /proc files and parsed them 
Like technically on windows you can get the OS version via some undocumented bullshit like this
Like the source code for the entire binary is in one file lol
But again my coding is ass
USHORT os_version_low = *reinterpret_cast<USHORT*>(0x7ffe0000+0x26c);
but like
whilst it will technically work it's not good practice
Oh
you can also get an epoch timestamp like this (super cursed)
So you can't just get the OS version on windows by reading something simply?
U can, but what’d the fun in that
This is trash but idk it was really simple in Linux
Windows API has bunch of shit, you can use it to do things like this, and more, but EDRs and shit always hooks into WinApi functions to detect anomalies

just unhook from ntdll
If by trying to get the OS version your code doesn't alert windows defender are you even doing it right
until that gets detected
template <typename T>
T rva(void* ptr, size_t offset)
{
return reinterpret_cast<T>(ptr + offset);
}
[[nodiscard]] size_t get_epoch() noexcept
{
constexpr size_t UNIX_TIME_START = 0x019DB1DED53E8000;
constexpr size_t TICKS_PER_SECOND = 10000000; // A tick is 100ns.
volatile LARGE_INTEGER time = {0};
time.LowPart = *rva<DWORD*>(0x7FFE0000, 0x14);
time.HighPart = *rva<long*>(0x7FFE0000 + 0x1c);
return (time.QuadPart - UNIX_TIME_START) / TICKS_PER_SECOND;
}
oh wait important typo
time has to be marked volatile otherwise the compiler tries to optimise the pointer math as this is technically undefined behaviour. So it'll just add all the numbers together 
https://www.legacyy.xyz/defenseevasion/windows/2022/07/04/abusing-shareduserdata-for-defense-evasion-and-exploitation.html shameless plug, but you can fetch quite a lot from shareduserdata
Tried it but got fed up of working with the wrappers
Usually I spend more time fighting the language itself rather than being productive
Yeah, I feel the same
Ummm..no , never heard
Skill issue on my part I know, I just don't have reason enough to use rust over C/++
to a point where I'd be competent at least
I've been messing with C++26's new reflection features to try and add nice compiler errors when you don't follow proper practice
i.e. invalid constructor/destructors for virtual classes and such, rule of 0/3/5
I literally just started out c++
I like it
@undone fossil what do you think about modules?
chad lvim user with c++ 26
🥚 🪠
Only 4 you meant
hey no ping pls
Ok
Mick wanna csgo ?
Nah thanks
😡
hiya

what's up nerds?
what does this mean 😭
hallo donut hru
hoi danny
@austere sinew reeeeeezz
give it a bigger hard drive?

can be done and that's what I am lacking atm
How ya doin
Super gucci, good to hear you’re good 
Mwuehehehehe
pretty well for a change. Feeling better than I have in weeks. Depression sucks.
Girl dog activities
Ayy, keep your chin up king 🔥
ya'll I'm tired. ssl errors while trying to connect to the vpn, new kali 2026.1...
using phone as hotspot, no isp blocks or something like that, clock is set to the right time, udp/tcp/other regions, nothing worked...

Every mistake makes you go closer to doing it right, keep it up
on a scale of 1 to 10 how much would I regret getting a Mac vs windows for college cyber
will be bringing pc though
https://youtu.be/2PltmlZ4-ao?si=z4F8q6SC7oSpWzpe can u'll watch this and tell me what should I improve
Is the current response time for support chat available anywhere? I'm at over an hour now
I use a macbook as my daily driver and there are very limited things where the chip architecture makea a difference
But seriously, people use either and they just have to adapt accordingly
If I’m gonna be using it for all of college and prob couple years after college should I get m4 on eBay or m5 brand new
I have join HTB on 2018 and own OSCP cert, I'm by no means a guru but when I posted that comment believe me I tried debugging for sometime, granted I did that during work as a side action but still.
I'll just get to it next week, our work hackathon got cancelled anyway 🫠
I'm listening to 80s Hits Spotify station 
M4 Pro is what I use… but m4 would be plenty depending on you budget
Also, more HD is a nice to have, especially if you’re doing any gaming on the machine and not purely work stuff
My IT knowledge is helping me DJ because most dance music is produced on a 16-bar phrase so 16, 32, 64, 128...
twinsssss
A mac is great for writing your reports, but you're better off getting a regular Intel/AMD laptop and dual-booting with Linux (or wiping your win11 partition) and using a distro like Mint or Fedora, then using Kali and other distros in VM to do interesting work
If you want to run local llm models, chip and RAM will be beneficial
still surprising when i hear people game on mac
I use LM studio and it resources GPU
All I play is that one game that’s censored by this server so
The m chips have integrated chips
idk if macs can run AAA games
https://youtu.be/2PltmlZ4-ao?si=z4F8q6SC7oSpWzpe can u'll watch this and tell me what should I improve
They can run some on Steam
will I be able to get away with using Mac for class and then whatever else I can’t run on my pc in dorm
performance has to be shit since they're not running natively
whats up divas
Become Hacker Rank so people can see what you're posting
remember chat
nobody plays games on apple, nobody
omg slayy 💅
sup eggzy?
Morning
I bought the Lenovo Slim 7 Copilot+ Aura Edition Intel Ultra 7 258V 32GB 1TB 14" OLED W11H off eBay but realized it’s prob better to invest a bit more
I got nothing on my plate today except a meeting with our SOC vendor. 😎
Yeah a mac should be fine for taking notes and connecting to the cloud or other network resources
aura edition 😭
I play farming sim 25 on my m4 mini… it runs fine, but it takes up between 60-80GB on my drive
how much was it?
Complete some boxes in the labs

what rank? challenger? diamond?
i only play horror games these days with all the lights off in my room
I play getting paid on my mac
Rank? I’m playing career mode
i did a machine today gng
pls congratulate me since i slayed it
good job buddy
thanks zeeshan
you can't ask for congratulations
he just did
well i just did so
now what
exactly
square up
congrats, lol, what box?
fair, whats your highest kill streak?
$813 after tax
Not just Danny. Danny Three Bags. And one of them is a body bag. 💀
oh not bad
10 battery cycle count when I checked but they can replace battery right
its okay no ones a gangsta when you pull a glock
cause I was looking through users and stuff and there was 1 from 2020
I own a glock.
No, he did a machine.
say this is ur name in the hood and ur getting banged bro
but do you have one currently
And shoot competitions...
system runs fine but trackpad came faulty and I’m debating whether or not I should warranty it or return
No it's in my nightstand drawer
yeh its over
j'over
hm so I should return my aura laptop back to eBay and get a Mac
I'm married to the streets, son.
devarea!
nice
and i didnt use a writeup or anything at all
well it's active so I'd hope not
No. A mac is just a doorstop with two year old components at next year's price, and all the features turned off
what streets? beverly hills? 
Dang
so send my aura in for warranty
skid row
or should I return it and get another system
so tuff
😄
at least ur not from hamstead
I'm from the Appalachians. It's a different kind of dangerous.
there's fr a place here called hampstead in birmingham
i know sir
brummie accents are funny
its a posh place
is it? didn't know
the streets im from dont even have a name
My preference when buying a machine is: Can I run Linux on it? Does it have a large disk drive for tools and VMs? Quality GPU/CPU? ✅
i think hampshire isn't that posh ngl
i think poshest place is surrey, my childhood was there
but Mac so sexy….. and can run rblx for 8+ hours when my aura lasts only 3
Surrey is fairly posh
if i was rich, i'd get a mac ngl
yeah, what about hampshire? i think its lower
The cpu architecture is so limiting thooo
Mac is cool, I mean, depends on what u wanna use it for, I use it for work, and it’s pretty good and convenient. The OS is probably the most seamless I’ve used so far in terms of UX
I mean I’m just doing college cyber for the next few years so surely the architecture won’t matter much
until I go deeper
Faaiiir lowk, but u would have ot have other pcs on standby
It’s def better than Windows or Linux in that regard
I think overall yeah, much lower on the posh scale
well yea, u can emulate most of what u need
mac is defo a better experience than windows/linux
CachyOs out of the box is way better than any of the macs I have used
A nerd guy who used linux for 10 years? Yeah, you’re not the average user
I run linux on my m1 chip
here’s what I’ll need the system to do, will most likely be bringing pc but will I be stuck in my dorm all the time since Mac can’t run anything or I should be able to run most things
most of the classes outlined seem to be pretty light in os requirements
You will be able to do most of it on mac
chat is this real
that’s all I needed to hear boss
so real
its over
Without checking the reqs, for schoolwork, I’d recommend Windows, it’s the safest option to be able to run everything, if you get a class where you must use some Windows-only crap, your mac won’t cut it
They have software for windows/mac both
Everything else, you can pull up a VM
College exam testing software
Usually they provide for windows and mac, no linux support
Cant' use a vm as the exam software detects VMs
For my exams up until covid you would just do those in the schools own IT lab
I did have classes where we had to develop Windows apps it was pain if you had a mac
yeah I believe the labs are all done on school provided computers
or at least they have provided computers
it depens on what ur studying
Depens on where you got to school too.
exactly
I linked my courseload thingy
Yeah, obviously wont know until you rock up and they tell you that you must use X software, but after a glance at the course, I wouldn't be too concerned about it.
oh shoot what if I get a internship
and they need me to run stuff
then they see my Mac
ggs
Lol, if you get an internship and they say "yeah sure, use your own Laptop", then I got a link for you to click when you are on their network
if a company cares they will provide you a work machine more often than not
What typa link is that
wait for m12
or backmarket

Attack path display
This makes sense now
Custom query tab is working nicely too
.
I started it after "Intro to AD" module
That is one way. Effectively when you install linux on the direct hardware it will usually ask you to partition the drive. This allows you to dual boot (have both OS installed) or reformat and install just linux on it.
You could also run Linux in a VM, so that you can use Windows as your host, while having access to linux in a virtual environment.
Dualbooting is the way of the past
scaring me fr
You need VMs
nah its all good, it is a heavy module tho
I suggest keeping Windows and running a Linux VM if you're not comfortable with linux yet
Some poor schmucks still doing it out there 
take as many notes as you can
Ik you were kidding though... Yea, I heard it's a long and thorough module
Delete everything install arch
I'll take my time and keep updating my notes
i use arch btw
i have a minimal hyprland setup
I don't like rolling release distros
They break too much
I like stable stuff like debian/stable or ubuntu/lts
you are right actually
Tbh, I have found that Arch doesn't break that much anymore. More so the VM breaks my arch install
I don't even listen to me
Hi
Skill issue it takes just one command 💔🥀
What machine
someone just DM me asked for "can you help me hack those who are burning me"
dafuq
did you guys get such a message?
I ignored it
I got one the other day where a guy spammed me with like 6 messages to just "hear him out". I just block and move on
but what did he have to say
He never told me, just sent me 6 messages to ask me if he can tell me 
@sturdy thistle are you going to cybersec eu ?
i see htb on the list who will be there?
I also used to get a lot of DMs for Dante help, but since I stopped posting in pro labs people started leaving me alone
prolabs forums is like enraged honey bees
Probably a lot easier now that we are getting PE scripts every day

The best mix to play at parties, raves, or other social events.
@scenic maple any hacking today?
I migrated my code yesterday From D3.js to Three.js for the GUI optimization
Welp Performance boosted MASSIVELY but Visuals got kinda F'd up
performance is like (ON GUI) 20K nodes all together on screen can still give upto 25-45FPS easy
loads and stuff were happening in ms
Yes lots
Let me tell u in dms
i've found an RCE worth to 1.5k $
that's a hack now
what a day
boutny plz
