I speak in brainrot cause my brain's half life was pretty short.
Ts not tuff ngl ikl icl syfm nno ikl
but AI already did it for me
Dude... don't talk about my mother that way
Ayo wtf i said nothing
I know lol
nah dude that's wild to speak on someones momma like that
what did he say? shit your fucking mom???
That's what I'm saying. She only briefly had to work in the truck stop bathrooms. That was for a good cause.
how disrespectful smh
Kalm Dawn 😨😨🙏🏻
listen man being a lot lizard is a respectable profession
Damn i am a penguin
Explains the cold demeanor 
Bro your English is great ngl deleting active directory to focus on your English
when an n'wah get embed perms
I personally prefer to remove the french language package

There should be a protection in every distro to prevent that command from running.
even as root
that and fork bomb
isn't there already?
Nope
Older jokes
I'm not going to try and test it either! 😄
Maybe in a disposable vm
But I don't think ubuntu asks for confirmation for anything
wat dat mean
Yo english
yeah I did it in a vm
Just an update from my side - my account was banned because I’m Russian and joined CTF with Sberbank team, which is now sanctioned. There are no chance to unban account and support don’t care that this is a personal account, and this is just employer on the current time :))
Hello guys...
I want to know something.
The ranking on Hack The Box, how can it change ???
I'm still script kiddy but, I'm powning some boxes.
On platform?
Yes.
what are some good projects to make to help me land an entry lvl SOC job or sum similar??
Hai, I hope everyone is having a good work day today ^_^
i'd first have to get a job but thanks
In that case, I hope you have had a good unemployed day! 
@scenic maple solved 5 problems in codeforces contest today out of 6
do active machines
Thanks
Anybody knows how to export pdf or word with custom fonts?
need to do at least one box today
Insomnia is a bitch man
i know how to do it in code
i dunno how to do it in gui stuff
u gotta embed the css font file and then generate pdf from html
u have it?
Pretty sure
u got stress and shi?
CSS is always the answer
😭
i learnt css
but too much design shit for me
i dont like doing frontend
Kinda
Yea
Alright im gonna delete windows forever @scenic maple
No more dual boot
Linux all the way
good luck
done
nice, let me know how the experience is
its unallocated now
I thought streaking was about running naked 
most people ik irl are deleting windows
and switching to linux
ok now i need to update my bootloader
im thinking of switching completely to linux, been using it on virtual machines for about 2 years. i know the linux basics and everything but again im still attached to windows.
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
@scenic maple is this command safe to run for updating bootloader to not show windows as an option?
wat
@meager kernel what distro u on?
cachy os
scary, embed wasn't showing
the arch based one?
yes
hm
it's a good time to go full arch
nah im happy with cachy
gotta feel the full arch experience
arch is best
not sure i usually wont touch grub
what u can do is go to bios and just put the linux boot manager above of windows
i already did long back when i installed cachy
i added windows in grub so i can directly open windows instead of going into BIOS everytime
for this type of installation kali never dispoint
do people actually use kali
in VM
i thought it was a joke
why would i install kali? 😭
not in baremetal
true
i usually use mint but sometimes kali ig?
mint looks prettier
mint for hacking?!?
i use qemu kvm
ew
i mean its not bad if u install all the base tools
oh i havent applied these yet
im gonna eat u donut
its time
but own localhost arch is best for me
u dare
donuts take like 4 bites
should i restart my PC?
or 5
just to be sure
depending on the donit
why not?
just shove it in there
@scenic maple i would appreciate some moral support man
nah a krispy kreme one would be way bigger
so thats gotta be like 3
ez
I saw you deleted nvme0102,3, and 4 but not 1
Could that be related?
its EFI partition
it has linux too
if i delete it, i brick my linux
Is it just named that or is windows on it
wdym
Idk it says win boot manager
i havent tried opening it on bootloader
but windows is gone so even if i do try opening it, it'll throw me into BIOS
Curious
i remember seeing in some video that youre supposed to remove Microsoft name in /boot/efi/ directory but i dont see it
thank you guys
Maybe there's a different area hiding it
@scenic maple 
way too cursed


Sleepy day today >_>
Why
although I only ate dinner
did some table tennis
did some work
ranked pretty well on codeforces today
But you have to eat breakfast
Is the most important
Decommissioning a bunch of units, set up a few new users and their perms and studied :3
I should
Pretty cozy day
ok so how do i add these 700 GBs into my btrfs partition
You have to chew on your ddr4
Just make another partition and use it for backups
??
You can mount it and unmount it easy
mount it and symlink in ~
You'll have to add it to the fstab file to make it permanent on boot
Be careful this step is dangerous
Ask claude or chat
it'll guide you
I raided my drives through the software and added them to the system
alright listen
when i right click on btrfs partition, theres an option "resize/move"
I recommend do some research first
As I say it can be dangerous
so i can add it
why not just look it up?
step 1, backup everything
i asked claude, it asked me to do it from a live USB rather than my main system
because you'll probably need to
Step 2 delete backup to save space 
I did when I resized mine
yep that too
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.
🙂
The amount of times I've switched distros to then span* my extra ssds 
It's much faster too. Faster than USB3 even
Think ubuntu was the smoothest
im gonna do something increadibly ballsy and do all this on my main system
rather than live usb
just don't
I dont think you can resize a mounted root partition
ill unmount it
and then do it
I see
nvm im a pussy
😭
ill just use live usb bro
Why is windows still here 😭😭
Just leave bro
i think it's just a uefi entry that points to something that doesn't exist
Lets see if it boots into the live usb
grub will still be there to remind you that windows existed
Nah i removed it from grub
grub is still there tho
Yea grub bootloader is there
But it doesn't show windows entry anymore
My BIOS does
its presence is a reminder lol
This is normal?
you can get rid of it later with efibootmgr
Its trying to boot into the live USB
Yea I'll do it after the resizing
yeah it's setting up a ramfs
Praying it doesn't break 🙏🏻
ye
you'll feel much better after you've bricked it and reinstalled from scratch 
How many times have you guys used live usb to troubleshoot something?
a lot
No.
real chads use systemd, just saying
I'll cry if that happens
Real
more than i can count
and i can count to at least 10
That's the fun part about linux. Some days it works great other days your just troubleshooting it to get back to work
you aren't gonna be using kde lil bro
Gparted?
oh wait, you have an actual like full live usb nevermind
Im in cachy
mine was console only
It has a graphical installer
what are some good projects to make to help me land an entry lvl SOC job or sum similar??
making friends with someone that hires for a SOC job or sum similar
gangotron?
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
i alr did that
lowk lookin for sum else
i was gonna do sum like wazuh siem or sum but idrkk
I can't read this
Wazuh is a free, open-source platform that unifies Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR
How do i move the partitions 😭😭
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
🫡 I appreciate it
what's up?
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.
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
Sec+ checks HR box, projects will help demonstrate your skills with the tools in the industry. It's a good start
awesome. thank you brodie 🙏
Ye, and Professor Messer is great for Sec+. What I used to get mine
yessir, im using messer vieds and dion exams
Then you're a shoe in. GLHF 
its haunting you
@meager kernel i thought you reinstalled the os, why do u need to change the boot order?
Im trying to increase the space
In my linux drive
oh, i think theres tutorials on yt for that?
idk i never dual booted linux
Is this where you installed the OS or this another drive you're trying to setup?
wsl or vm only
I want to cry now
this is why i dont try anything new
stick to the same shit forever

I might just have to reinstall everything
Where you're trying to recover space, is this on the drive you installed cachy onto?
do u have any important files in that linux drive thing?
Yes
You're gonna have to reinstall
😭
Not really
😭 😭
Everything was backed up
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.
@chrome tree is this broken now?
Im trying to move the btrfs drive left of the unallocated space
But it keeps giving error
you know you can literally send pics to Gemini and it will tell you what to do
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
Whats even the error
LIKE BRUH WHAT'S THE ERROR
Atleast tell me
Even if i click details
It doesn't show anything
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
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.```
add claude to this server, we need him
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.```
@frigid mountain generate a recipe for a chocolate cake with no mayo and cheese
Wonder if that's where you windows boot was living and is why you're still technically seeing it in bios
@frigid mountain give me a business idea
I'm sorry but that request cannot be fulfilled as it violates community standards
sell vapes to highschoolers
good idea
that reminds me that I need a nicotine pouch in my lip. Thanks.
And a monster in my hand
smoke cigs like a real man
do it gradually
i quit because I don't want cancer.
nah im just playing
he died of smoking
at least it was doing waht he loved
💯
i think he was fine ngl
he died at about 75
and was smoking since 20?
Lung cancer sucks, but smoking still makes people 10x cooler
so i would say thats a great deal
only if youre not fat
depends on how u smoke
Tried
If you smoke enough, you shouldn't be fat 
good boy
is smoking weed or cigs better?
i tried
just do both
I feel like I shouldn't have messed with anything at all
like if i smoked 1 joint everyday OR 1 cig everyday, which would be worse?
weed. tobacco and the additives are the problem the carcinogenic effects
Technically weed. But smoking in general is bad for you, and illegal weed can have bad stuff on it
I smoked weed all day every day for like 15 years and specifically asked both my doctors and dentists about it and it was fine.
makes sense, what i was thinking too.
If you are gonns inhale, vaping weed is the healthiest option
this
thinking of getting into it when im older. although who am i kidding? i smell weed on people everyday in my college
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
Suppositories are probably safest :3
Smoking cigs only helps in causing harm and addiction. What makes u say that all the real men smoke cigs
Car
it was a joke man 😭
yeah smoking is bad i agree
looking to grow my own icl but im too impatient for that
🤓☝️ erm, ackchually!
yes?
smoking bad!!
At least let your braincells have a chance
I've grown thousands of lbs legally.
legally? where do u live?
You canadian Three Bags?
where I did live was Denver, CO
im in ingerland
good god and youre keeping it all to yourself?
share
?
it was sold for millions of dollars. I got paid $12/hr to grow it... 😡
england
England with an accent, init blud
you can legally home grow there right?
Nah 
o
its a funny law, you can legally buy the cannabis seeds but cant grow them
I am not an attorney
I have a legal prescription and I cant even grow it here.
Can I have some money for CEH
u can buy the seeds tho
growing from seeds is a bad idea
yeah true
genetically it's a lottery. Everyone that grows quality uses cloning
if you start from seeds you have to interbreed to selectively get good genetics
yes, generally cloning is the most common method
yeah selective breeding and such
right right
I am not an attorney
Just in case haha
one of me is enough why do u need two?
Three bags going to get a 16 year old in jail
so i can make the other work for free

@mint raptor yooo
is anyone working on any interesting projects that you dont mind sharing?

So turns out there was some problem with my btrfs partition
Im gonna spend the whole night in front of a terminal
do tell
Waiting for it to get fixed
now that's just a good time right there
Been sitting here for 50 minutes
Fun
Honestly would have been faster if I just wiped my PC and installed from scratch

@mint raptor Congrats mr funnyctf
that's why you take the backup.

Lmao dude I wish I was at this point
All i do is sit on my lazy ass
Why is bro yapping at 2 am
Feeling bonita
He really India's Ashton Hall.

@scenic maple i think i should not have decided to extend my btrfs drive
From what I found, my btrfs drive has meta data inconsistency or something according to this
Its been stuck at this part for 70 minutes
I think I mentioned above; never touch btrfs.
Can someone knowledgeable please read this 😭😭
thank you
😭😭
Bro pls read it so I can be re-assured
Not knowledgeable, but never mess with a linux drive.
Should I just wipe my system and start from scratch?

backup your all data and re-install the OS.
it is the most important hacker skill
@meager kernel idk if you here but you cannot keep trusting that messed up filesystem. who even told you to run btrfs commands bruh
debian is fancy good to me, I love it with KDE. rather I have been using parrot-home-edition with some fancy i3 stuff
you?
😭😭
Then what would you recommend
Which file system is good to use
"Raphael is a potent Aircraft if employed well" - Pakistani Air Marshal
Just backup your shii and install parrot home or just go happy debian / fedora
Everyday posting like you would find the bug in there....
Just spend some years in Cairo learning Fusha, you might learn a word of Arabic to understand.
Fucking up BTRF even though everyone praises it like the best file system ever was what made me never choose BTRFS again. I guess it's honestly not actually designed for normal usage but servers and datacenters and pros
Never egain ...
what are you doing to fuck it up
MY PC IS SAVED
NO CAP I THOUGHT I WAS FUCKED
lmao it still works like this
holy shit i feel like crying im so happy
you don't have backups?
cloud
the only volatile data in this PC which I would mind losing is my notes in Obsidian, and theyre synced between my phone and PC
so it wont make a difference
rest is just games and VMs which I can recreate easily
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 ...
Hi, are the lab machines only accessible online through the provided system, or are we allowed to install a VPN and connect to them remotely from our own devices?
Lab access need an OpenVPN access you get by downloading
May I know where I can find it?
The big green "connect" button, then you just select your preferred server/region and download the config file. With this you can start an OpenVPN connection from the machine you like (warning you need to copy the file insted of downloading it again if you have multiple machines or else the old file get's invalid 😄)
Get Started with the HTB Beginners Bible: https://www.hackthebox.com/blog/learn-to-hack-beginners-bible
It does only show the pwned box , no other options .
I can not find download VPN option.
Öhm, okay?
Is the VPN download option only available for specific courses, or is it located somewhere else?
VPN should be an option if you click on the "connect" button on the labs page 🤷♂️
proud of you sport
so extending of btrfs isnt happening rn
ill just reinstall the whole OS someday when i have the mental patience of doing so
discord should introduce a new feature where some channels are locked behind an iq test
and we can have levels
did i make you say this? 😭
no
We manually filter each other, it's fine
cough hacker-lounge
o
you got no USB where you can backup your data?
This is the most foolish thing to do with 1TB of storage.
Most of my data is backed up
Only thing volatile on my system are my Obsidian Notes
Which are backed into my phone
Now please never btrfs on your btrfs.
i have no perms 😔
Then recommend another file system bruh
I only acknowledge notes of those here who are either super good at pwn/rev/crypto and has notes or has done cpts and couple other academy things.
You not running server stuff.
YOU ARE FINE.
with btrfs.
Oh
Cool
I'll probably just reinstall my OS after my exams in order to allocate that empty storage
This mf got meme for everything..
thank u ill get the hacker rank one day 🙏
My account got banned, please help me HTB team
Jonathan Pork
I never posted any spoilers still got banned
Why it got banned
it says I shared spoilers
Did you share in private to anyone?
Like some private group
did not share it anywhere

dropped an email, let's see
Are there any news of the new htb rank system coming over to discord? I see its still going by the old ranks, just wondering if that's gonna stay so
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
beat me by 6x
msfvenom can build a DLL
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,
that is quite a lot. are you alright?
I love this game to death
password to what?
it requires you to connect to ssh with a user and pass
trying to connect to the target using the ssh command
is that on academy?
it comes with a password you should use but it doesn't seem to be working
ya
sshpass -p "<password>" ssh htb-student@<ip> -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no
ye its ugly but easier in some sense
yeah its easier to see if you're typing the password correctly
especially with the crazy password they used for that module lol
Access still denied unfortunately
Thanks for this though It'll come in handy later
pwnbox
what exactly?
not your own
maybe wrong vpn
No dll one there brv
smt like this?
ya exactlt that
you're using the wrong ip
go back to the module, click start target or smt, then use that IP after htb-student@<ip>
the (ACADEMY-NIXFUND) one right
yes
does it say "ssh to <ip> (academy-nixfund)?"
yes
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
Thanks for the help, it means a lot. Looks like I just need to restart it. You're a good human
so like im here how do i hack this box
wdym? @zenith pine is a bot

I fell for the lies of a mark Zuckerberg
Squirrels ate and dug up my marigolds 
oh gosh
Not hyper-intelligent rodents
squirrels are nature's "it's not a bug, it's a feature"
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
how did they prove that? did they shave them?
well, i hope they didn't have a good time, they had it coming for those marigolds
capybaras > squirrels anyways
the superior rodents
dog chases them out of the backyard, but the front is free game
maybe you could use that LED light trick, just sayin

thats because coffee has no effect on us
coffee has lost its affect on me
I used to drink 5-8 cups a day… now I drink 1 or 2
i feel extremely sick
any coupon available now?
im too sensitive to coffee, cant get any past 6pm or im not sleeping
u good ?
better stay in bed then
yeah
its one of those days
Learning about tekton and tekton chains today
is that a terraform?
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
so, like cloud build without the cloud
Not exactly, but along those lines
sounds interesting tho
I’m learning anyway… now that I’ve figured out the process, I’m contributing my own enhancements to open-source projects
really useful if it can keep node_modules clean(ish)
well, none of them compare to the dumpsterfire npm is nowadays
lol
getting an advisory everyday for some upstream package
It’s an odd year in security
I’m finding vulns left and right… but so is everyone who is looking
Long-term yes
But the poor maintainers
I’m patching Firefox every week
And kernels
ai replacing devs my arse lol
feels like the more ai there is, the more work there is to do fixing things
I don’t see it as replacing devs… i just see the pace of everything increasing
contribute to java by deleting it 😄
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
i see it more like do what i don't want to. i have 0 interest in doing any ui work for example
It can do all the grunt work… but still need to guide it, make decisions, etc
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
Yep!
Have any of you guys done the academy side of htb ?
But I’ve got 30 years writing software or overseeing teams that write software
done as in gone through the material, or as in built the thing?
So I know what I’m looking to have done and how.
Like gone though a pathway
so basically you don't have any hair left, that's what I'm hearing
i an rn
What one
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 basically run threat model, secret-scan and pentest on every new feature
finishing Linux fundamentals rn. want those sweet cubes
bad news chat, I got jury duty tomorrow
you're the 1%
Are you new ? Or did you already have a prior knowledge?
Maybe so, but I want my shit to work
i once dared to install arch and never came back
lol
What's youre next step after the linux ?

arch btw neovim btw
Guys I run alpine linux
but the ptsd is real
Or fedora, or ubuntu or kali or whatever
I use void btw
I like Ubuntu
hi
im going through the cjca path before taking the cpts, one module at a time...
I like that idea. Im planning on making my switch over to htb academy real soon
im watching two people cut the grass inn their backyard with nail clippers
even if you think you know a subject, you can always learn something new
are they youtubers, tiktokers, streamers or just dumb?
streamers and dumb
You can start with hack the box even if you have 0 knowledge
erobb221
one of those is implied
I know. I appreciate you telling me
oh wait, you're watching the stream, i thought you were watching them irl
oh im not that dumb myself
im only a bit stupid
just watching bc they are basically doing nothing interesting so i can study
it would be a pretty funny thing to watch irl ngl
Lol does that mean its boring ? @zenith pine
but im training their ai for them!
i like pain
my eyes are red from their white UI
@turbid goblet God sometimes i wish i didn't go with them and learned about HTB prior
there are lots of things that cause pain and do less harm than that tho
What are you studying over there
u can dark mode on thm now tho
i would if i knew where anything was
wait maybe im lying it might just be an extension of mine idk
it could be worse i guess...
I did tryhackme for a bit
Alot of people started there
Back in the day I helped set up and run the overthewire challenges… but I didn’t really know much in those days
Oh wow I remember overthewire
backspace when does it get better
i still feel so dumb
A bunch of swedes set it up…
feeling dumb is what keeps us moving forward
I have no idea how I even got involved with the dudes now that I think about it… irc
@turbid goblet what’s wrong?
I remember goofing around on there and telneting into nethack to goof around on there instead
Embrace feeling dumb… it means you’re learning
Confidently dumb is dangerous
embrace the dumb, go cut grass with clippers
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
there are some times i get stuck on something and i cant even develop a thought of what i should try
But you gotta learn to love it
Same
But then I walk away for a bit
Focus on something else…
that is solid life advice
You guys heard of let's defend?
Yea i saw that
bloodhoundce-tui uses98892 bytes of memory. Bloodhound requires 4GB just to its DB I think
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
SOC is a meat grinder
Sorry Kami
At least that’s what our clients used to say when I worked on QRadar
Lol it can be
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”
Naw youre more of a red teamer
adding that to my list
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
a little late for me but sounds like an interesting idea nonetheless
Never too late to make a change
When I first got started into IT years ago. I wanted to be a programmer
Unless you’re ancient like Astro and me
Yea lol
i've heard the dtmf tones back in the day, does that count as old?
Even so… i changed career this year
@tired kettle are you from the US ?
nope
@tired kettle touch tones! I remember the clicks
We didn’t even get dtmf tones until I was 18
🇦🇷
Not in the country
Rotoray phones son lol
Yessir
Call waiting lol
Yessir
My grandparents were on a party line
a what?
8 numbers on the same line
You had to listen to the rings to know if it was for you
You shared a line with multiple households
One long, two-short
@tired kettle how old are you if that's OK?
I’m guessing mid-late 30s
just turned 40 a few months ago
Oh ok you're not that young
not a bad guess
Tengo 49 años
What area of Canada?
Nice
To cold for me lol
Depends on what direction I go
It is cold in the winter
Today was nice
About 20 C
That’s about 70 F
is there are any good it uni in toronto?
Oh that's nice weather
I’m sure there is… but I don’t know which
i am planning on finishing my study in canada still looking for good uni there for a good cyber security career
University of New Brunswick has a strong CS department… University of Waterloo
Waterloo is about 150km west of Toronto
It is where Blackberry was founded… now Google/Alphabet is there
ohh damn
Honestly, uni doesn’t matter that much
does anyone know how to change the billing in htb academy
without contacting support
i have a degree in music
trust me ik but i also need that dgree paper 
wow
Go to a trade school, college, uni, whatever
welp, i was nagged until i agreed to go to the store smh
yup thats why i am here
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”
yeaaa thats sad ngl
you have a degree in music and you re a digital carpenter?
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
thats true
Essentially
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
yea aslo there is a uni in my country that give certifications for free
