There should be a protection in every distro to prevent that command from running.

I tried it on ubuntu once for fun and it asked for confirmation

I'm not going to try and test it either! 😄

??

supple plume

You can mount it and unmount it easy

meager kernel
#

bro

#

i wanna add it

tired kettle

You'll have to add it to the fstab file to make it permanent on boot

supple plume
chrome tree
#

Ask claude or chat

#

it'll guide you

#

I raided my drives through the software and added them to the system

meager kernel
#

alright listen

#

when i right click on btrfs partition, theres an option "resize/move"

supple plume
meager kernel
#

how do i move it below my btrfs

supple plume
#

As I say it can be dangerous

meager kernel
#

so i can add it

meager kernel
#

thats what im trying to figure out

slender fern
#

why not just look it up?

tired kettle
#

step 1, backup everything

meager kernel
slender fern
#

because you'll probably need to

supple plume
slender fern
#

I did when I resized mine

worthy cargo
#

I always keep a separate ssd partition where I put my ISO dd if=/isoimage of=/dev/sdc1 for example. Then I just boot from sdc1 if I want to load a live usb/cd env.

#

🙂

chrome tree
#

The amount of times I've switched distros to then span* my extra ssds kek

worthy cargo
#

It's much faster too. Faster than USB3 even

chrome tree
#

Think ubuntu was the smoothest

meager kernel
#

im gonna do something increadibly ballsy and do all this on my main system

#

rather than live usb

slender fern
#

I dont think you can resize a mounted root partition

meager kernel
#

and then do it

slender fern
#

I see

meager kernel
#

nvm im a pussy

#

😭

#

ill just use live usb bro

#

Why is windows still here 😭😭

#

Just leave bro

slender fern
#

i think it's just a uefi entry that points to something that doesn't exist

meager kernel
#

Lets see if it boots into the live usb

tired kettle
#

grub will still be there to remind you that windows existed

meager kernel
tired kettle
meager kernel
#

Yea grub bootloader is there

#

But it doesn't show windows entry anymore

#

My BIOS does

tired kettle
#

its presence is a reminder lol

meager kernel
#

This is normal?

slender fern
#

you can get rid of it later with efibootmgr

meager kernel
#

Its trying to boot into the live USB

meager kernel
slender fern
#

yeah it's setting up a ramfs

meager kernel
#

Praying it doesn't break 🙏🏻

tired kettle
slender fern
#

you'll feel much better after you've bricked it and reinstalled from scratch Gladge

meager kernel
#

How many times have you guys used live usb to troubleshoot something?

slender fern
#

a lot

tired kettle

#

I'll cry if that happens

tired kettle
#

and i can count to at least 10

meager kernel
#

Alright it worked

#

Im in live usb

#

Kde partition manager

what are some good projects to make to help me land an entry lvl SOC job or sum similar??

slender fern
#

meager kernel
#

How do i fucking move this

#

Wtf

chrome tree
#

Could try spinning up a honeypot on AWS, then feed those logs into something like a splunk instance and then use the query language to aggregate data

Wazuh is a free, open-source platform that unifies Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR

meager kernel
#

How do i move the partitions 😭😭

chrome tree
#

Do it in a vm. then create AD environment to monitor. Then take kali machine and drop self in to generate logs.

2 for 1 - setup protection and get sysadmin work in

frigid mountain
#

what's up?

chrome tree
#

Depending on RAM limits maybe 1 DC and 1 Workstation plus your monitoring stack and kali machine. All depends on how you allocate your resources too.

earnest crow
#

is this along with like Sec+ enough to qualify for sum entry tech job

#

i was considering js project stacking tho and js makin a bunch of stuff but ik its mainly quality > quantity

chrome tree

Sec+ checks HR box, projects will help demonstrate your skills with the tools in the industry. It's a good start

@meager kernel i thought you reinstalled the os, why do u need to change the boot order?

meager kernel
#

In my linux drive

rough mirage
#

idk i never dual booted linux

chrome tree
#

Is this where you installed the OS or this another drive you're trying to setup?

rough mirage
#

wsl or vm only

meager kernel
#

I want to cry now

rough mirage
#

stick to the same shit forever

meager kernel
#

I might just have to reinstall everything

Where you're trying to recover space, is this on the drive you installed cachy onto?

rough mirage

You're gonna have to reinstall

iron galleon

#

If it was on another drive you can just mount, add it to fstab, and go. But if you want that drive space you're gonna have to nuke it.

meager kernel
#

@chrome tree is this broken now?

#

Im trying to move the btrfs drive left of the unallocated space

#

But it keeps giving error

frigid mountain
chrome tree
#

Yea, pretty sure you can't unfortunately. If it makes you feel any better I had to reinstall something pop os 3+ times when I first went linux native.

#

It sucks but those lessons stick everytime lol

meager kernel
#

Whats even the error

#

LIKE BRUH WHAT'S THE ERROR

#

Atleast tell me

#

Even if i click details

#

It doesn't show anything

chrome tree
#

Yeah, it can't just pick up that space and drop it on the other side. If it was sitting after it you would have no issue extending it

frigid mountain
# meager kernel Whats even the error
Instead of forcing KDE Partition Manager to shift the boundaries of /dev/nvme0n1p6, you can format that 744 GiB unallocated space as its own partition and add it directly to your existing Btrfs filesystem. Btrfs natively supports multi-device pools, even if they are on the same physical drive.

Create a new partition: In KDE Partition Manager, select the 744.46 GiB unallocated space, format it as btrfs, and apply changes. Let's assume it becomes /dev/nvme0n1p8.

Open a terminal and add the new space to your existing active pool:

Bash
sudo btrfs device add /dev/nvme0n1p8 /
(Replace / with the actual mount point of your Btrfs drive if it isn't your root directory).

Balance the data (Optional but recommended): This spreads the existing data across both partition blocks seamlessly online:

Bash
sudo btrfs balance start /
Your system will instantly see the combined storage capacity, and you completely avoid the risk of a corrupted partition slide.```
rough mirage
frigid mountain
# meager kernel Whats even the error
If you strictly want a single, contiguous partition (/dev/nvme0n1p6 absorbing the space to its left), you cannot do this while booted into the operating system utilizing that drive. The partition must be completely unmounted.

Boot into a Live Linux USB (like a Fedora, Ubuntu, or Arch installer).

Open GParted or KDE Partition Manager from the live environment.

Perform the operation in two distinct steps instead of one combined job:

Step 1: Select /dev/nvme0n1p6, choose Resize/Move, and slide the partition to the left so it occupies the unallocated space. Apply this change first. Shifting the start sector of a filesystem takes time because it moves data blocks.

Step 2: Once the move completes successfully, expand the right side of the partition to absorb the remaining unallocated space. Apply changes.

Why the original operation failed
The error log shows the manager tried to execute a compound command: Move partition... to the left and grow it....

Sliding the beginning of a partition requires rewriting the filesystem metadata pointers and moving physical data blocks to a lower sector address. If the filesystem is currently mounted, or if the underlying tool (btrfs-progs) locks up during a block-copy operation, the GUI wrapper aborts immediately to prevent catastrophic data loss.```

Technically weed. But smoking in general is bad for you, and illegal weed can have bad stuff on it

If you are gonns inhale, vaping weed is the healthiest option

rough mirage

Also if if you have a legal prescription, it will often say that you can only vape it

combusting plant matter and inhaling it isn't generally a good idea

high cobalt
# patent lily what are you doing to fuck it up

I was using it to store VM drives. Somehow BTRFS didn't like them and switched into some form or read only mode. Didn't really found a solution and then found a random, unknown YT channel explaining he had this problem wit VM drives and it seems that the Copy on Write doesn't mix well dynamic VM drive allocation or something like that? Since then I never ever touched it again (because let's be real the only feature that might be useefull is snapshots and i didn't really need them). Ext4 just does the job for me ...

Lab access need an OpenVPN access you get by downloading

The big green "connect" button, then you just select your preferred server/region and download the config file.

Hey guys

#

You know how theres a SharpCollection with binaries, do you know if there is a collection of DLL exploits? Asking because execute-binary is not working but I think if I inject a DLL it will work

Hi, I'm new to learning cybersecurity and I'm struggling with Linux course. The password given doesn't seem to be working. If anyone can help I'd be grateful,

tired kettle

#

is that on academy?

lavish heart
#

it comes with a password you should use but it doesn't seem to be working

lavish heart
zenith pine
#

are you typing or copy pasting the command

#

copy pasting the password

tired kettle
#
sshpass -p "<password>" ssh htb-student@<ip> -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no
zenith pine
#

eww

#

that works i guess

tired kettle
#

ye its ugly but easier in some sense

zenith pine
#

yeah its easier to see if you're typing the password correctly

tired kettle
#

especially with the crazy password they used for that module lol

lavish heart
zenith pine
#

where are you doing it from?

#

your terminal?

#

pwnbox?

lavish heart
lavish heart
zenith pine
#

i think you are using the wrong ip

#

you're supposed to use the targets ip

zenith pine
#

not your own

tired kettle
#

maybe wrong vpn

severe falcon
#

No dll one there brv

zenith pine
lavish heart
#

ya exactlt that

zenith pine
#

you're using the wrong ip

#

go back to the module, click start target or smt, then use that IP after htb-student@<ip>

lavish heart
zenith pine
#

yes

lavish heart
#

That the one using😭

#

I've tried it on 2 devices now

zenith pine
#

does it say "ssh to <ip> (academy-nixfund)?"

lavish heart
#

yes

zenith pine
#

double check your command against this one:
sshpass -p "<password>" ssh htb-student@<ip> -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no

if you still cant log in, the box is either broken, or its skill issue

#

i say restart the machine and try again

Squirrels are stupid af

#

They eat the LED christmas lights off the trees downtown

severe falcon

oh gosh

latent oak
#

Not hyper-intelligent rodents

tired kettle
#

squirrels are nature's "it's not a bug, it's a feature"

latent oak
#

If they didn’t have fluffy tails, we would say we are infested

#

Scientists have proven they are 86.3% less cute if they don’t have a fluffy tail. #facts

tired kettle
latent oak
#

You don’t wanna know

#

Terrible, but necessary research

tired kettle
#

well, i hope they didn't have a good time, they had it coming for those marigolds

capybaras > squirrels anyways

the superior rodents

What a day

latent oak
#

Nice

#

Roadtrippin’ rat?

tired kettle
#

its one of those days

latent oak
#

Learning about tekton and tekton chains today

tired kettle
latent oak
#

Not really, it’s pipelines for building software

#

It keeps snapshots of the build components and produces provenance documentation, SBOM, etc… it basically helps ensure that you didn’t pull in unknown or bad dependencies during the build.

#

Supply-chain integrity

tired kettle
#

so, like cloud build without the cloud

latent oak
#

Not exactly, but along those lines

tired kettle
#

sounds interesting tho

latent oak
#

I’m learning anyway… now that I’ve figured out the process, I’m contributing my own enhancements to open-source projects

tired kettle
#

really useful if it can keep node_modules clean(ish)

latent oak
#

Or pythonwheels

#

Or java, etc

tired kettle
#

well, none of them compare to the dumpsterfire npm is nowadays

latent oak
#

lol

tired kettle
#

getting an advisory everyday for some upstream package

latent oak
#

It’s an odd year in security

#

I’m finding vulns left and right… but so is everyone who is looking

tired kettle
#

well, that's good, isnt it?

#

better to find a lot than finding none

latent oak
#

Long-term yes

#

But the poor maintainers

#

I’m patching Firefox every week

#

And kernels

tired kettle
#

ai replacing devs my arse lol

#

feels like the more ai there is, the more work there is to do fixing things

latent oak
#

I don’t see it as replacing devs… i just see the pace of everything increasing

terse dirge
latent oak
#

I can build something in a few hours that would have taken a team several weeks or months

#

We used to spend a lot of time in design and planning, because the cost of getting it wrong was so high

#

Now the math is different.. a research spike or experiment is so quick and you learn quickly

#

@terse dirge would that I could

#

But I have to deal with the shit people have left behind

tired kettle
latent oak
#

It can do all the grunt work… but still need to guide it, make decisions, etc

tired kettle
#

yeah, you still need to know wtf is it meant to do or you're gonna have a rough time debugging

#

garbage in garbage out

latent oak
#

Yep!

crude island
#

Have any of you guys done the academy side of htb ?

latent oak
#

But I’ve got 30 years writing software or overseeing teams that write software

tired kettle

So I know what I’m looking to have done and how.

I can also read the code and understand it… I also built the proper harness around my dev process to make sure the code is well-written and secure…

I have no idea how I even got involved with the dudes now that I think about it… irc

@turbid goblet what’s wrong?

slender fern

I remember goofing around on there and telneting into nethack to goof around on there instead

latent oak

Embrace feeling dumb… it means you’re learning

turbid goblet
#

i atleasy wanna be confidently dumb

#

i mean dumb and confident

latent oak

Confidently dumb is dangerous

tired kettle

embrace the dumb, go cut grass with clippers

latent oak

It’s when you’ve learned enough to know there are TBs of things you don’t know, that you actually can say you know something

#

Imposter syndrome is real

turbid goblet
#

there are some times i get stuck on something and i cant even develop a thought of what i should try

latent oak

But you gotta learn to love it

But then I walk away for a bit

#

Focus on something else…

tired kettle

that is solid life advice

You guys heard of let's defend?

I have

#

Htb bought them recently

Yea i saw that

i accidentally clicked on lets defend before and they emailed me like 5 times

ye they be like that

They have a good pathway for soc

latent oak

SOC is a meat grinder

#

Sorry Kami

#

At least that’s what our clients used to say when I worked on QRadar

crude island
latent oak

But I’m not wired for it

#

I decided early on I wanted to build software. I highly recommend the book “What Color is Your Parachute”

crude island
latent oak
#

The technique for figuring out what direction you want to go in life, was to make a list of things you didn’t want to do

#

The thinking being that we are often more certain about what we don’t want than what we do

tired kettle
#

a little late for me but sounds like an interesting idea nonetheless

latent oak
#

Never too late to make a change

crude island
#

When I first got started into IT years ago. I wanted to be a programmer

welp, i was nagged until i agreed to go to the store smh

latent oak
#

The paper only counts for the first job or two

#

Experience matters more

toxic rock
latent oak
#

But it is stupid… to me, most of IT is a trade… you should be able to apprentice just like a plumber or electrician

#

Only a handful of people are out there inventing new languages or tech… the rest of us are doing “Applied IT”

latent oak
#

I am a digital carpenter

#

There is a good living in it

toxic rock
latent oak
#

And if you do it long enough you can still create new things… there’s nothing magical about university that you can’t learn on your own

latent oak
#

The best thing about uni is it opens doors and helps you to make connections

#

There will always be a default friendliness with others who went to the same school
