I mean I do Writeups but only retired machine now

I mean 25 machines in 3 months is reasonable

[devout sail]

Hmm i was assuming few days xD

[patent lily]

why would you confess bro haven't you watched those serial killer police interrogation youtube shows

[proven jackal]

i cant even study

machines disconnecting each 3 mins

[unreal hornet]

Akerva is easy lol

[devout sail]

I spent like 4-5 days, 10h+ per day on insane before AI

[unreal hornet]

It took me like 3 hours

[devout sail]

Actually 4 cuz my target used to be before Wednesday

[unreal hornet]

My daily Target is like 7-8

[devout sail]

So i can finish it in release arena

[unreal hornet]

But on holidays i get deeper like 12-14

[devout sail]

I don't wanna make any joke on this rn

[unreal hornet]

I understand

[chrome tree]

Not as cold on holidays

or so they say

[patent lily]

Really…

[devout sail]

@zenith pine

[lavish sage]

exploding gas

[devout sail]

Yeah it used to be nice, separate free pre heated instance

Now every gets separate instances
Just not pre spawned (release arena still exists tho so always prefer that)

[scenic maple]

its moderately difficult like between mediums and hard htb boxes typa thing but some people already know the attack path / have hints so they do it fast

but someone going in blind will def not be like this

[unreal hornet]

Anyone just hate first blood owners?!

[devout sail]

No?

[undone fossil]

I mean asked a friend and apparently its piss easy just a lot of random bullshit

[scenic maple]

why would u hate them

[unreal hornet]

Last machine in 6 minutes, with ai

[undone fossil]

That's a reason to hate AI usage in competition, not first blood owners

[zenith pine]

https://tenor.com/view/that-aint-me4k-gif-20966029

[scenic maple]

random bullshit is where u get stuck tho

[undone fossil]

XY problem

[unreal hornet]

Bro how you get user.txt in 6 minutes 😭😭

[devout sail]

When u don't care about competition
It doesn't even matter

[devout sail]

V:

[undone fossil]

by having seen the attack before

[scenic maple]

by being good

[devout sail]

Hmm your food hacks?

[scenic maple]

😋

[unreal hornet]

I started the machine and it took like 1.4 hours and some guy did that in 20 minutes

[devout sail]

Now i imagine a sentient moldy bread working 18h a day for golam

[unreal hornet]

Using ai to automate when pentest I think

[undone fossil]

Yeah that's reasonable

[scenic maple]

there is also some cve boxes

u can literally let claude do it

[devout sail]

Tbh I did the most recent machine fairly quickly
Without AI for user part.
Like probably the fastest, like for whatever reasons i picked the next step was actually the next step

[unreal hornet]

How claude even helps you gng with that

[scenic maple]

agents stuff

its on their website

[unreal hornet]

Understandable same here but yes sometimes priv escalation

[undone fossil]

Interfacing with tooling/providing context etc. (i.e. MCP/harness/skills etc.)

[devout sail]

And it's against tos btw

[unreal hornet]

Yes sirr

[devout sail]

You would do it anyways

[limber arch]

Look at this guys stuff: https://itsbroken.ai/

[unreal hornet]

What people learns buy automating a whole pentest

[undone fossil]

They learn a false sense of confidence because pentesting isn't automated yet

Either that or you have checkbox clients, at which point it was easily automatable pre-AI

[devout sail]

Maybe some people are just fine-tuning their clanker set

[unreal hornet]

Maybe they have just alot of skill issues and thinks they are cool 💔🥀

[undone fossil]

also a CTF isn't a pentest, very different goals and mindset

[molten bobcat]

[undone fossil]

i HATE this guy

[unreal hornet]

That's not CTF it's boot2root machine

[devout sail]

Yep, we got CTF soon too ig

are you getting flags

[unreal hornet]

It's not man

[undone fossil]

okay 👍

[molten bobcat]

Is there a user and Root flag

[unreal hornet]

I mean CTFs in real.life are different

[molten bobcat]

No they aren't

[unreal hornet]

This is a boot2root machine

[undone fossil]

define ctf in real life

[molten bobcat]

We've literally done ctfs in person dawg

[stark stream]

Hey
Do you know where I can join a team for the CTF?

[undone fossil]

#1318239802931286066

[unreal hornet]

You get different challenges on web exploitation, binary exp, rev engineer, cryptography blah blah

[undone fossil]

That's a jeopardy ctf

[molten bobcat]

These are ctf categories hehe

[undone fossil]

HTB has that too, they call them challenges

[unreal hornet]

Yes that's common everywhere

[undone fossil]

Yes I know

[unreal hornet]

I do that

[undone fossil]

and fullpwn/boot2root is another form of CTF

So is attack defense CTFs

there are a multitude of formats

[unreal hornet]

I will be back in 6 7 minutes

[molten bobcat]

I do the forensics categories because I'm a dirty blue teamer

[undone fossil]

imma solve ur category with strings and regex buddy

[molten bobcat]

How do you think I do my job

[unreal hornet]

Wait till you get a disk image ahh

[undone fossil]

"uhhhhh IM GONNA QUERY"

[molten bobcat]

God I love queries

[molten bobcat]

You act like this is a hindering factor.

Also what kinda backwards ass forensics puzzle hands you a full disk image

Yeah man here's this 50gb file have fun

[undone fossil]

Tbh sadly quite a lot

[molten bobcat]

Bruh

[undone fossil]

usually its just a memory dump

[molten bobcat]

Ahh

[undone fossil]

or a minimal linux system

[molten bobcat]

I was gonna say

Full normal host memory dumps are fat

[undone fossil]

but just use MemProcFS/Volatility & grep

shrimple as

[molten bobcat]

God I hate volatility

[undone fossil]

I hate most forensics tools tbh

Very archaic

[molten bobcat]

I'm sitting here like I don't just use excel for everything lol

[undone fossil]

real

"obfuscation is just un-optimisation" makes it much more approchable

[unreal hornet]

Just use sleuthkit ahh

Am i wiwrdo if I use sleuthkit instead of autopsy?

[undone fossil]

theyre made by the same people

its just a gui for sleuthkit

You are in AD right, so you are trying to pivot to internal subnet on a machine?

With ligolo?

I participated HTB's season 9 and most of the machines are focused on AD.
Just like that, Season 10 is focused on which concept ?

[unreal hornet]

My college is shit bro😭✌️

Literally fail me every sem

And they just teach some Mern or SWE shi

[fierce vale]

much more valuable than some fucking fiat currency lets be real

[stone marsh]

Lol, I mean it isn't bad sfuff to learn

[iron galleon]

go to a community college if u in the us tbh

they pass me for nothing

istg i was fucked up for 3 out of 4 exams in 1 class and still got a c

[unreal hornet]

I am not richie

[iron galleon]

community colleges are the cheapest

[stone marsh]

Security itself is kind of too fast to teach at a uni and expect you to be ready for a real role anyway

[lavish sage]

yes but you gotta pay the bills

[unreal hornet]

Works on some $300 month

💔🥀

I need todo some bug. Bounty tocover some shi

[unreal hornet]

Oh

[stone marsh]

Like cool, they teach you eternal blue in metasploit and how to do some binary exploit. Great, but how about you sit down and hack into this sass application

[unreal hornet]

😭✌️

Binary exploitation is cool

Binary exploitation and reverse engineering is peak

[stone marsh]

It is, but like, it was old when it was still on the OSCP syllabus

[near zealot]

Hey guys. What is the point of getting a cert just for it to expire later on? I get that its a way to get into the job market, but what happens after you get experience. Are professional certs viewed in the same way after that?

[iron galleon]

idk if the employer will care if it expires

[unreal hornet]

Oh it is on OSCP?!

[lavish sage]

💀

[iron galleon]

after u get experience u gucci unless u gotta go through some bureaucratic bs

[stone marsh]

Used to be

[lavish sage]

blud thinks all binex is buffer overflows and returing to stack

[unreal hornet]

Damn i really love both

[near zealot]

For real?

[iron galleon]

yeah that's what i've heard

[unreal hornet]

Gng you should check some background of mine

[fierce vale]

experimenting with GhidraMCP and LLMs to do some serious firmware reverse engineering now, it's kind of insane

[near zealot]

Alright that’s kind of a relief

[unreal hornet]

I mean I like format strings lol

[stone marsh]

Depends on the cert and the employer. I have certain certs that if I failed to renew every three years would probably leave me jobless

[iron galleon]

i mean context matters tho if ur cert expired in like the year 2000 and it's 2026 there gonna be questions

like the interviewers r human too

[unreal hornet]

Bro they just burns api keys to dissasemeble and will analyze the whole shi

[iron galleon]

unless the technology didn't upgrade etc

[near zealot]

Yes. But you build experience along the way too. As long as you’re employed, that is

[stone marsh]

Sure, but if those certs dont renew, im out the door

[near zealot]

That makes sense ig

[rancid swallow]

[unreal hornet]

Whereas an experienced rev engineer willa nalyze the suspicious

Last time i was trying to analyze a modded application

[near zealot]

Ain’t no way a cert is more valuable than actual work bro

[unreal hornet]

And mu claude keys got expired and literally i found more cooler stuff on it

Manually

[stone marsh]

It is here. Certain certs have to be maintained for compliance reasons, and it doesn't matter how skilled you are. You get those certs or you move to an industry that doesn't require them

[fierce vale]

Sure I had to do a lot of manual groundwork before LLMs could get a good grip, naming functions and writing comments

[unreal hornet]

Real

[near zealot]

Are you from Europe?

[stone marsh]

UK

[unreal hornet]

What decompliler do you use gng

[stone marsh]

I work as a security consultant unfortunately

[near zealot]

I guessed it when you mentioned “compliance” lol

[low lava]

Can I contact HTB support on this server?

[stone marsh]

Yeah, you can probably guess the certs as well then

[fierce vale]

I use Ghidra as the decompiler but I hit a wall now since the system has subprocessors that Ghidra doesn't support out of the box

[near zealot]

In that case, your employer should be assisting you with the certs

[unreal hornet]

Same here, but now the better version for analyzing is IDA pro

And cutter

[stone marsh]

Well there is only so much they can do. They can keep paying for resits, but if I really just kept failing them, they wouldn't have many options. For their own liability as well as the jobs that I could legally perform

[unreal hornet]

Cutter is good if you have any extension

Of decompliler

[fierce vale]

But that's like $1000+ per year license

[cloud osprey]

wrong, best solution is, "Bing AI, please analyze this for me"

[unreal hornet]

I mean yeah it's very expensive but worthy

[stone marsh]

So yeah, depends on the cert and employer. I know guys that went into inhouse red teaming where experience/skills are all that matters. But many like mine, require certain certs

[unreal hornet]

Must have been the claude

[near zealot]

Are you a blue teamer?

[stone marsh]

Red team. Hacker for hire

[rapid badger]

can u hack my gf insta ?

will venmo u 5 bucks

[unreal hornet]

Ask an Indian 😭✌️

[stone marsh]

No but I can tell her if her website doesnt use the secure flag on a cookie

That'll be 1K a day, please and thank you

[unreal hornet]

Idk my country is full of skids

[fierce vale]

I got to look at my options first and Ida pro actually has some issues with the processors too from what I'm reading

[past acorn]

just google it

[mellow rock]

I’m in uni but I don’t know how to land my first job

It’s just rejections after rejections

[iron galleon]

start entry level

what r u applying to

[unreal hornet]

I can understand, but I mean it's hard to make a good disassembler, specially can work on different processprs

[stone marsh]

Work on some interesting projects, find out what skills your prospective employerd are looking for, get those skills and then pray for luck that you can land entry level

[unreal hornet]

She said she had OSCP and CPTS

[fresh delta]

Am creating a team for red teamers, let's work together and achieve success together if interested join the team WhatsApp group

Security intern roles, will be graduating in December and I have no experience

[unreal hornet]

You really might have some skill issues bro which city you in?

I mean if delhi and mumbai

[mellow rock]

I have certs but cooked GPA - 3.0

[molten bobcat]

Bro

[iron galleon]

start with help desk or IT support

work your way through the industry

[unreal hornet]

It's easy to find if you live in tier 1

[iron galleon]

atypical to just start with security outright

[stone marsh]

I love it when cloud pops in

[unreal hornet]

Why start with helpdesk when you have OSCP, in india OSCP and CEH are impressive to get a job as junior

😭✌️

I mean I really don't have wthese but eJPT got me my first job

[near zealot]

Its not the grades that you make, its the hands that you shake

[unreal hornet]

And also not based on Pentesting

[silver forge]

there's absolutely nothing impressive in India

[unreal hornet]

I mean bro you can see in top MNCs 😭✌️

They want some CEH and OSCP

[molten bobcat]

Also please don't call a 3.0 gpa "cooked" I'm so tired of people labeling their efforts as useless

[unreal hornet]

You just need a better portfolio and resume

[stone marsh]

Hey man, the air pollution around the taj is very impressive

[molten bobcat]

What's really useless is you spouting shit you don't know about.

[silver forge]

hm

[unreal hornet]

I hate my country

[iron galleon]

it's kinda like getting a degree and expecting to land a software engineering job without any kind of internships or anything, but the analogy isn't quite the same bc different industries

[unreal hornet]

I mean I did hard work

[iron galleon]

doesn't matter tbh

[stone marsh]

No cap I went to india for three weeks, absolutely loved it

[unreal hornet]

I made some cool projects with little impact, win 2 CTFs so that placed me

[pearl kernel]

Thats cap, where did you go

[unreal hornet]

In 2nd year

[iron galleon]

most employers want to see job experience

[fierce vale]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_NP2L6tW6M this is what I'm reverse engineering, those old DSPs have some free tools available

[unreal hornet]

Damn i will check this out shortly

[stone marsh]

Chandigarh, Deli, Agra and Shimla

[unreal hornet]

I mean mumbai is good place if you didn't went to central side

[near zealot]

If an employer rejects you, you should prove your worth by hacking their systems

[unreal hornet]

Aw hell naw

😭✌️

It's not 2016 it's 2026

[molten bobcat]

Hey this is a crime

[rancid totem]

what's the best option for gpt 5.5 subscription

anybody know?

[molten bobcat]

External links knock this shit off

Are you stupid?

I imagine so.

[pearl kernel]

Maybe I will have to check out india next year when im doing my trip to asia

[rancid totem]

should I buy pro

[near zealot]

Unfortunately

[stone marsh]

Cloud what came first, community contributer or mod?

[unreal hornet]

Skill issue

[molten bobcat]

Mod came first

[unreal hornet]

You ain't finding a directory traversal in bug 26

[stone marsh]

I thought it was great, just do your research and be aware od the common scams

[unreal hornet]

I mean it's not like that nowadays I tried to do that, I got blocked by cloud fare

Cloud flare*

[supple plume]

@scenic maple

Chrck it out

[molten bobcat]

I hang on to my community role because I like helping the next generation of analysts

[near zealot]

Modern problems require modern solutions

[scenic maple]

@fresh delta please read the #rules

[unreal hornet]

But what if the modern problem is blockinh you to bypass a cloudflard page

😭✌️

[fresh delta]

Ohk

[stone marsh]

Fair, going to keep up with your blog. Always interesting to see how the other side works

[molten bobcat]

Thanks friend

[mellow rock]

I live in FL, 🇺🇸

[unreal hornet]

[molten bobcat]

I have a few pages up currently but I'm working on more

[mellow rock]

There are just no jobs in security in small companies

[near zealot]

You write blogs?

[mellow rock]

U know that US is diverse right ? I can have Indian roots and still live here ☠️

[unreal hornet]

Gng i do too, do picoCtf, thm and htb writeups

[past acorn]

hello guys

[near zealot]

Nice. Will take a look

[unreal hornet]

Making writeups is cool side project to show

[molten bobcat]

I haven't had much free time to work on it due to my work

But it'll be one of those lifelong project things

[unreal hornet]

I mean it improves yo resume

[latent oak]

Same

[molten bobcat]

I don't give a fuck about my resume

[iron galleon]

u ever consider moving for job opportunities

[mellow rock]

I don’t mind relocating over summer but need the offer first

[unreal hornet]

Maybe cause you have job

[molten bobcat]

Lol

[latent oak]

I blog and have a couple of writeups… i also have a Github

[iron galleon]

can look for jobs in the dmv

[molten bobcat]

I'm unfortunately at a later stage of being an adult than most

[unreal hornet]

Nice 😄

Oh

What's your age

[latent oak]

I’m working so much right now though, it feels too extra

[unreal hornet]

Same here

[latent oak]

Me? 49

[molten bobcat]

Oh, no what I mean is that I'm more concerned with the legacy I leave and the people around me more than I care about money or promotions or whatever

[unreal hornet]

Still a 2nd year student idk

[latent oak]

50 later this year

[mellow rock]

Nah I’m fine, will just keep applying ig, it’s a cooked market

[molten bobcat]

I'm 28

My birthday is Saturday 🙂

[fierce vale]

Having a Github with projects is a nice thing to have

[near zealot]

Bro is older than the career itself

[iron galleon]

what jobs specifically are you applying to/roles

[unreal hornet]

I mean I got passed few days ago so year 3rd yearue

[unreal hornet]

Got a lot of gpt wrappers last year

[latent oak]

@near zealot kinda

[past acorn]

when did you get into cs

[unreal hornet]

I am 21 😭✌️

[latent oak]

Phone phreaking was before that

[molten bobcat]

I also screech tones into a payphone

[latent oak]

And ARPANet was around in the 70s

[limber arch]

https://tenor.com/view/vro-twins-cat-sillycat-gif-1670230978140696872

[molten bobcat]

Internet wasn't a publicly available thing until the 90s

[latent oak]

1998

[mellow rock]

I’m into offensive security - so pen testing intern and security intern . Most of the roles call for initial screening and decide to move forward

[molten bobcat]

As that's when the WWW was published

[iron galleon]

do u have job experience?

[fierce vale]

X.25 was around before internet was a thing

[latent oak]

But I started playing with computers in 1987

[fresh delta]

I need a team, am into red teaming, penetration tester, bug bounty

[unreal hornet]

Skill issue

[past acorn]

[mellow rock]

None, it’s my main reason for getting rejected

[unreal hornet]

Just do alone its bettee

[latent oak]

Commodore Vic 20

[fresh delta]

Sorry explain

[molten bobcat]

I started in IT

[unreal hornet]

😭✌️

[near zealot]

Should try an internship

[mellow rock]

Just have competition experience

[iron galleon]

i'd start with help desk or IT support, move to a tier 2 job like a junior admin role and work your way to security first

[mellow rock]

M trying but they reject me for the same reason

[iron galleon]

typically people into red teaming have previous job experience

[molten bobcat]

Well, technically I guess I started with healthcare but that experience isn't relevant

[mellow rock]

Help desk is a little 🥲

[near zealot]

What has this world come to if interns require experience too?

[iron galleon]

ik it's really entry level but i'd start with it anyways

gotta go through the suck

[mellow rock]

Where do yall apply? Linkedin alone

[unreal hornet]

I know a man who worked for IT desktop support for like 10 years and now he is so analyst

[iron galleon]

all application sites but uh mostly indeed

[unreal hornet]

Soc*

[mellow rock]

Yeah ig I gotta start somewhere

[crude island]

Ello all

[fresh delta]

I am 18 years and I want to learn more red team

[iron galleon]

i mentioned the dmv bc the job market there is really nice

for IT

[crude island]

@fresh delta HTB academy is good

[fierce vale]

I started as an intern in sysadmin too

[lavish sage]

i started as a malware researcher

[crude island]

@lavish sage did you have any prior knowledge?

[fierce vale]

but I was hacking and phone phreaking way before that when it wasn't even an industry like it is today

[fresh delta]

Yeah am there, what I meant is that I need someone who is already in the game, that I can ask questions, we work together

[lavish sage]

yeah i had done cpts by then and lots of ctfs

[lavish sage]

outed yourself as a boomer ngl

[molten bobcat]

I enjoy being a soc analyst

It's my life passion

It's an art form I can feel myself getting better at and I don't feel that there's a limit to how high I can reach

[lavish sage]

never seen a lot of satisfied soc guys

[fierce vale]

no I'm not a boomer just a millenial

[molten bobcat]

The answer is easy: I just care

[lavish sage]

looking at screens, checking alerts, making tickets

not a lot of practice, shifts

[molten bobcat]

I get shitloads of practice

[neat cipher]

I know several who did their degrees, started working in good companies and climbed the ranks, making really good money and having a great career

[silver forge]

there's always at least one who likes anything.. like smothering himself with poop, or being soc analyst

[molten bobcat]

I'm constantly learning about ongoing malware campaigns, how they evolve, how to stop them

I have not met something I can't solve

It just takes time

[neat cipher]

He who jumps to the poop analogy is speaking from experience...

[limber arch]

whats the meaning of life

[molten bobcat]

Is that a cybersecurity question

[limber arch]

could be

[molten bobcat]

The meaning of life is to find ones purpose

[limber arch]

yk, I like that

[molten bobcat]

I've found mine and shits gotten a lot simpler since

[lavish sage]

i mean i dont know i wont shit on soc cuz i havnt done it but the stories arent great

[mellow rock]

Yeah but I can only relocate if the company sponsors cuz I still have 6 more months before graduation

But I appreciate the feedback

[supple plume]

I am getting depressed with this shit htb review my machine already...

[lavish sage]

3 months buddy

[molten bobcat]

I'm a big fan of people saying AI will replace me when they haven't seen or felt the things I've experienced. I genuinely can't fathom a world where that occurs.

[neat cipher]

It really depends on the org you land yourself in, but there's always great places to work, general orgs who do the thing, and then places you hope would get no customers

[molten bobcat]

Turns out a lot of people are okay with "Bad analysis" being done

Lmao

I'm not, I hold myself to a standard infinitely higher than any AI could reach

[iron galleon]

no prob

[silver forge]

perhaps you should study how to use AI correctly

[molten bobcat]

Perhaps you should get fucked

[neat cipher]

Yeah cost-cutting usually means corner cutting

[molten bobcat]

Yep

Things need to be done the correct way

[supple plume]

🥀

[molten bobcat]

"Erm well this AI generated text faster than u"

[rapid badger]

I've seen things... seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion
I rode on the back decks of a blinker and watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments... they'll be gone

[molten bobcat]

Like tears in rain.

[fierce vale]

Yeah they'll learn the hard way

like always

[molten bobcat]

My analytical skills are not limited by my token subscription model or whether or not cloudflare is having an outage

Thus I will always be fucking better

[silver forge]

AI beats most vulnerability researchers already. in analysis the context is hard to build, but once good context is available AI will beat human for L1-L2 easily. in the next couple years only L3 might be human, focusing directing the AI

[molten bobcat]

Get rekt

[neat cipher]

Yeah they get breached and the cybersecurity folks get fired

[molten bobcat]

The people offering the AI magic 🪄 woo woo are charging you out the ass for it and you don't even care or notice lmao

You're being scammed by the dumbest people on the planet and you deserve it

[rapid badger]

The VC funded party has to end at some point

Hopefully not with a bailout

[crude island]

@molten bobcat how long have you been a soc analyst

[molten bobcat]

Almost 2 years now

[crude island]

Nice

[silver forge]

cognitive dissonance is a bitch

[crude island]

Why's that

[molten bobcat]

Oh he's just mad at me

Don't worry bout it

[crude island]

Oh lol

[molten bobcat]

Have this sunbathing kitty instead

[crude island]

Aww

So since you been into for 2 years are you still a soc 1 ?

[molten bobcat]

I should reverse engineer proprietary Windows drivers and port that stuff to Linux... do I bother or not.. the issue is I can't control led lights on my new mouse

[iron galleon]

do it

my mouse gets filthy bro

probably easiest would be just dump USB traffic and send the same combination from Linux to get settings what I want

you can just replay ordinary usb hid stuff

[iron galleon]

i gotta clean my mouse fr

has someone got claude working well with ghidra? I could also ask it to reverse the relevant parts from the control panel binary

hmmh

or then again if I'm lazy I will let the led to be on

[iron galleon]

i found this https://github.com/lauriewired/ghidramcp

[silver forge]

oh nice

[latent oak]

yeah.

I use Ghidra headless via the KaliMCP

[unreal hornet]

Bro claude sucks if you have sonnet

Because it waste your time ny analyzing the starter functions

[silver forge]

what the vendor did was they tie LED settings to..... mouse DPI. every DPI has their own "LED color", or black for off.

without the special driver package pressing the DPI button changes the led color... ehh

[frigid mountain]

my day is going swimmingly

how ya'll?

[near zealot]

Will I have luck with htb machines if I stick to the job role paths on HTB academy?

Still in the learning process

[iron galleon]

yeah but try some machines too

use writeups for retired ones if u gotta but serve urself yk

[west lynx]

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

[near zealot]

Alright. I still got THM premium tho. Should I do both academies one after the other or stick to just one? Looking for something that can improve my practical skills, but also a linear path cuz I’m still somewhat new to all this

[iron galleon]

im partial to htb academy

[frigid mountain]

My recommendation is to do what keeps you motivated and interested.

[iron galleon]

ive personally never tried tryhackme and haven't heard good things abt it in terms of what i'm interested in

[near zealot]

Noted

[frigid mountain]

HTB is far superior to THM imho

but if you ask in THM discord someone will say the opposite I'm sure 😂

[near zealot]

Yeah, I heard its because THM is more for building the basics

[frigid mountain]

HTB has something for all levels

I started here. I've stayed here. I will likely die here. 💀

[iron galleon]

i started with htb personally but also had the initiative to use external learning resources, such as pursuing the ccna

[frigid mountain]

I've been a denizen of this discord for 5 years...

same, I did my associate's degree in Cybersecurity and have Sec+ since starting here.

[iron galleon]

i was taking courses in computer science before i did htb

[near zealot]

And did HTB help you in this journey? I’ve scattered so many resources that I spend half my time just filtering them

[iron galleon]

yeah it did

very good experience

[near zealot]

I’m an IT student

[frigid mountain]

yeah agree with computertrash

[fierce vale]

I did honours math and computational physics in uni

[iron galleon]

nice

[frigid mountain]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-dear-deluded-gif-19647190

[fierce vale]

and digital systems too

[near zealot]

You heard of other resources like portswigger etc? I should just stick to one platform though right, since they all essentially boil down to the same thing

[iron galleon]

use as many resources as possible

[near zealot]

It gives me fatigue bro

[iron galleon]

i just keep pushing

but i also do things other ppl may not

such as adderall

[near zealot]

Makes sense

[fierce vale]

but like I said, long before university and professional career I was doing hacking, phreaking, demoscene coding etc.. I learned way more there

[iron galleon]

i used to work on video games

tinkered around in linux for fun which sounds so cringe lmao

[near zealot]

[iron galleon]

[frigid mountain]

I used to wardial my local exchange

[fierce vale]

hell yeah I discovered so much good shit with wardialing

[fringe viper]

whats wardialing

[fierce vale]

PBXs, carding numbers with weak pins

[fringe viper]

im a noob

whats pbx

[frigid mountain]

Peanut Butter Xtreme

[fringe viper]

brute forcing visa cards?

[fringe viper]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[silver forge]

the IDs for this device has been blocked in code due bricking issues

[fierce vale]

you have a program which dials a range of phonenumbers and records if something picks up

[fringe viper]

do people often tell you youre funny?

[young glen]

[fringe viper]

for what reason?

[silver forge]

how about phreaking, ever did that?

[frigid mountain]

wardialing is from dial up modem days where you have your modem call numbers starting with 0000, 0001... and when it gets a modem tone it logs the number in a list that you can dial into later

[fierce vale]

no carding means phone cards

[frigid mountain]

only your mom

[fringe viper]

lemme ask

[fierce vale]

yeah I did

[silver forge]

[fierce vale]

that's what I'm talking about

[scenic maple]

does it work

[fringe viper]

represents devices as nodes in a 3d graph

[fringe viper]

hell yeah

[frigid mountain]

pics?

[scenic maple]

well its good then

he cant post btw

[frigid mountain]

ohhh

good point

[near zealot]

Not to mention corporations favoring AI

[fringe viper]

#resources-tools

it looks better now

because im a stickler for UI UX

Would love feedback

[zealous charm]

Just like .com’s died in the dotcom bubble and no one uses them anymore

[frigid mountain]

neat

[fringe viper]

you can also input pcap files

[frigid mountain]

brb

[fringe viper]

and use it as a git for networks

started out as novelty

[rapid badger]

the resurrection of your fav app being down every week

[near zealot]

Exactly. That’s where security comes in

[scenic maple]

just remove the vibe code things specifically

• the roundness on everything that doesnt make any sense
• the color theme (if you use the red yellow blue colors then atleast match them with it)
• the weird rounded left border color thing usually used on quotes

in simple terms de-vibecode it

atleast the design part

[zealous charm]

What if it’s all vibes

[fringe viper]

can you provide more context

[scenic maple]

if you are hard stuck on just vibe coding then use a established system
https://designmd.ai/

[fringe viper]

genuinely interested

[fringe viper]

is this an advertisement 😭

[scenic maple]

when you look at a UI you can tell that its vibe coded based on a few things

now that anyone can vibe code
the vibe code UI is ugly for everyone

[scenic maple]

no its not mine

[scenic maple]

@grok is this true?

[fringe viper]

i mean i love marketing when its made by the owners

[zealous charm]

Bros still vibe coding in 2026, that was so 2025. We’re vibe hacking now

[wooden thunder]

Hello

[near zealot]

Vibe coded software vs Vibe hackers

[fringe viper]

i dont mind it ,especially when the focus is not the UI but the functionality

[scenic maple]

honestly one of these days i am going to spam scam links
cause the npm malware will catch up to me

[frigid mountain]

whew...I'm on a health kick. I normally drink water all day but now I'm trying to drink more. unfortunate downside though.

[scenic maple]

u gotta pee a lot

[fringe viper]

but i do like rounded corners tho

[fierce vale]

What I mean is find something that clicks with you and you'll become unstoppable

stop focusing on other people and their expectations

[scenic maple]

there is some best practices surrouding the corners
problem is every corner u have has the same radius
usually the bigger an eleemnt the radius is more radial but smaller elements get smaller but ai too dum dum to get that

[near zealot]

Alright. Thanks

[scenic maple]

but again thats just best design practices its not like someone will die if u dont follow them

[fringe viper]

yeah it just needs a little more effort to get it right , thats why i like it

[fringe viper]

true but im a stickler for good ui , id rather die than have bad ui ux

[iron galleon]

Can someone take me to McDonalds

[fringe viper]

i cant

[scenic maple]

UI and UX is different tho

[iron galleon]

Fuck

[scenic maple]

UI is it looks pretty and UX is using it feels good

technically speaking it can be very ugly and be good at UX

[fringe viper]

i know💀

[frigid mountain]

I won't say what I want to say due to your prior statement.
