#

@meager compass that tool is flipping awesome, I have an instance that I run just for playing with data

#

If you like data, spin up a splunk instance too

meager compass
#

ahh, i'm just using it as a replacement for zapier

#

self hosted software is awesome, like Sendy. Saves me so much cash haha https://sendy.co/

graceful coral
#

Or...

#

You could just make your own program that mass emails it to a list of users

meager compass
#

Or.... i could spend 30 seconds installing this and using it....

#

Not to mention the fact that email signups exist

#

I need landing pages, signup forms, popup forms, all the likes to make an effective email signup page

#

you can't mass email from a program without spending significant time working on it

#

if i sent an email to my entire email list from my normal gmail account I'll get deleted within 5 seconds

#

not to mention that you have to build double opt in

#

GDPR compliance tracking, good luck doing that in a program that only sends emails

#

but the biggest thing really is forms

#

you literally cannot survive as a creator with an email list without email signup forms

#

how will anyone sign up if theres no forms

#

not to mention data protect laws! imagine if they found out their personal data was unsecurely stored on my computer in a little txt file that a python script calls

graceful coral
#

Yea

#

But it still cost

meager compass
#

😂😂😂😂

#

yeah

#

£4 a month

#

down from £1440 a year

distant dew
#

Developing it yourself costs even more

#

Unless you think your time is worth nothing?

graceful coral
#

I’m in Highschool

#

My time IS worth nothing

distant dew
#

Bad @graceful coral

#

Wrong mindset!

graceful coral
#

Which is why I make the best use of it possible

#

By teaching myself skills that will help in the future

devout nest
#

right, good on you

meager compass
#

im just saying, convertkit (or mailchimp) costs me £1440 a year and this now costs me like what, aprox £20 per year

devout nest
#

I wish I was learning this stuff when I was 16

graceful coral
#

16?

#

I started at 11

#

Capture the Flags that is

#

Developing at 7

#

Made my first software (IRC client) at 8

distant dew
#

When I was 7 I was still watching pictures load one line of pixels at a time

graceful coral
#

Oof

#

I remember those

#

10 years before my existence

#

I’m 15 now

I recognise those lights, see me in your network soon.

ripe drum
#

Haha I'd be very impressed if you hack into my dumb £5 home bargains lights 😉

#

I'd be up all night with paranoia if I installed IoT decorations 😂

meager compass
#

i have a cheap chinese robot vaccum that sends 20gb of data a day to somewhere in china, it also has a camera on top. no chance it isn't recording me 24/7

distant dew
#

The s in IoT stands for Security

meager compass
#

but tbh my floors are clean so its a tradeoff really

#

all of my privacy for clean floors

distant dew
#

What does clean really mean when the floors are lava though?

graceful coral
#

Lol

devout nest
#

@distant dew how old are you?

graceful coral
#

23

#

He’s 23

devout nest
#

oh right he's said it

#

don't call them youngsters yet 😄

distant dew
#

Ya 23

#

That weird age-range where you're not quite a full adult but, you've surpassed childhood

devout nest
#

trust me, either you're very well a full adult now, or full well adults aren't as full well adults as you think

graceful coral
#

@graceful coral Im in high school as well, and I don't see my time as worthless unless its on most schoolwork

#

That’s what mine is like

#

Which is why I procrastinate to study important things unlike the exact year this unnamed soldier died in the crusades

#

The only classes I care about are science and math (English but that isnt a challenge at all)

#

^^^

#

I’m a freshman if that matters

#

Im a senior myself.

#

But I had the same mentality through most of HS

#

I know im not that much older, but starting lots of self study as a Freshmen gives you a lot more time

#

I started doing sysadmin and networking stuff in my Sophomore year with a server I dragged out of the dump

coral narwhal
#

I wanna go to university so I don't have to take all these bull courses anymore like French

graceful coral
#

I enjoy coding

coral narwhal
#

And biology

graceful coral
#

Since I did Khan Academy’s JavaScript course, that got me started

coral narwhal
#

Like it's not going to help me later on in life, I wanna do programming or computer sec

graceful coral
#

At 7

coral narwhal
#

I started with HTML and GameMaker at like age 8

#

and then around the age of 12 I got into ROBLOX and learned Lua there

graceful coral
#

I learned HTML at 4 when I learned about MySpace

#

😂

coral narwhal
#

jeez lol

graceful coral
#

You guys started way before I did with coding. I started at like 14-15

#

I’m 15

#

But ive dumped a ton of time in and gotten pretty good at it to make up for it

#

Rn

coral narwhal
#

nice

#

I'm 18

graceful coral
#

17 👀

coral narwhal
#

if you're older

#

you can learn a lot more a lot quicker

#

i just have an intuition due to starting early

graceful coral
#

But if you start earlier

coral narwhal
#

but I didn't learn a lot from it

graceful coral
#

You can learn even more at an older age

coral narwhal
#

yeah

#

plus you get an intuition for coding after like 6 years

#

you just stop getting bugs as often and everything just makes sense

urban crescent
#

that sounds like a darkism if i ever heard one

Very carefully, next question.
coral narwhal
#

?

urban crescent
#

@ objectiveact

graceful coral
#

What?

#

Hmm

#

Thats kinda interesting, actually

#

How some things are better learned older and others younger

uncut saffron
#

!dark

graceful coral
#

Yea

median palmBOT
#
DarkStar7471
*sigh* What do you want.
graceful coral
#

Do a study of it

#

Other languages, for example, are better learned younger.

#

It’s due tmrw

#

5000 words

#

Using no more than 2 sources

#

All cited at the end

#

Can you wait till I get to college?

#

With animations and cool designs

#

That’s what my school is like

#

Ouch.

#

I’ve been learning Spanish since kindergarten

coral narwhal
#

5000 words?

graceful coral
#

Yes

#

For history

coral narwhal
#

No problem!

graceful coral
#

🙄

coral narwhal
#

just change it all to white text

#

they won't notice!

#

lol

uncut saffron
#

Hey I started french since I was 2

graceful coral
#

I had an English teacher who had a checklist checking digital submissions

#

White text and stuff was on it lmao

coral narwhal
#

or do it in a special way and just use an invisible character and a space inbetween

#

5000 times

graceful coral
#

Or just use Unic𒀱ode

coral narwhal
#

yes invisible unicode

graceful coral
#

I wrote a Python script and a lot of Regex to make my essays met my strict english teachers requirements

uncut saffron
#

I write python for the @median palm bot

#

😎

graceful coral
#

Rip

#

I have been defeated

coral narwhal
#

im surprised actually

#

that there are so many young people here

#

i thought i was young and everyone else was in there 30s lol

graceful coral
#

I mean, TryHackMe is focused on learning, right?

uncut saffron
#

@coral narwhal I'm in my 40s

coral narwhal
#

yeah a lot more than other platforms

cobalt thicket
#

Guess my age (noone in reee is allowed to guess)

uncut saffron
#

Dan is about 4

graceful coral
#

A lot of people in their 30's are probably happily situated into whatever job they want, even if its pentesting

#

17

coral narwhal
#

@cobalt thicket 16

cobalt thicket
#

@uncut saffron shhhhh

#

@graceful coral ding ding ding

coral narwhal
#

@uncut saffron are you a professional pentester then?

uncut saffron
#

No I am not

#

I am also no in my 40s reee

graceful coral
#

Congrats, im the same age as you Dan :D

coral narwhal
#

sad

cobalt thicket
#

I'm already a dropout as well smh

#

Just turned 17

uncut saffron
#

I wish @coral narwhal lol

cobalt thicket
#

Dropped out at 16

coral narwhal
#

do you live in the USA?

graceful coral
#

My parents drilled into me that dropping out isnt an option

#

Nor is quitting stuff

cobalt thicket
#

Nah, Tealand

coral narwhal
#

ok

#

if its in the USA it might be a wise decision

#

because of the massive student loan debt

cobalt thicket
#

@graceful coral did t really have an option, I physically couldn't go anymore

graceful coral
#

All good. Im not judging you at all 👍

#

I was saying from the mental standpoint

#

Of "I dont want to do this anymore because x"

coral narwhal
#

I stayed at home for 2 years due to mental health and then started school again

#

gotta love bullies

cobalt thicket
#

Ayyyy same

graceful coral
#

My parents never went for any of that.

coral narwhal
#

are we stereotypical nerds and thus all get bullied? lol

graceful coral
#

Got bullied, "be tougher" was their response

cobalt thicket
#

Nah, legit people stalked me

graceful coral
#

Got tougher, got suspended for "fighting"

#

11/10

coral narwhal
#

stalked you?

#

how?

cobalt thicket
#

Texts every day from multiple different numbers, account breaches, etc

coral narwhal
#

ur a 0xD G0D hacker, u can stalk them

#

wait

#

they were smart enough to do that?

cobalt thicket
#

Should prolly mention, went to a cyber sec specialist schoil

graceful coral
#

Those exist?

coral narwhal
#

wow ok lol

cobalt thicket
#

Also, it was multiple people

coral narwhal
#

i wish those existed in belgium

cobalt thicket
#

School was great

#

Amazing teaching

#

Had to leave because of the people

#

It got that bad the police had to get involved

coral narwhal
#

damn

#

for me it was never that bad just prolonged

cobalt thicket
#

Because it pivoted to my address.

graceful coral
#

Yikes

coral narwhal
#

got excluded from every social event from ages 5 till 14, when puberty hit and couldn't take it anymore

#

also remarks on everything I did causion my self confidence to plummit

#

but nothing serious

#

just the amount of time it went on for was damaging

cobalt thicket
#

Deliberating whether or not I should apply to unis for next year

graceful coral
#

I uh... never really cared about social stuff, to put it one way. No one ever really talked to me and I never did any events, but I was never bothered by it

cobalt thicket
#

I'd be going a year only with no qualifications

graceful coral
#

Happy to stay home or in the classroom and read a book

coral narwhal
#

yup but try asking questions in a classroom when every time you raise your hand people stare you daggers and sigh and laugh or make fun of you when you get something incorrect

ripe drum
#

@cobalt thicket I know plenty of people who did foundation years at uni and really gained from it 🙂

coral narwhal
#

that happened for like 2 years only during my puberty period

graceful coral
#

Ouch.. that never happened to me at that scale

cobalt thicket
#

Year early, not year only

coral narwhal
#

but you get out of it stronger funnily enough

#

after staying home for like 2 years and having awesome parents that supported me, I just tought a lot about what happened and saw the things I did wrong and just learned to stop caring what others think

cobalt thicket
#

I've heard some unis will accept literally anyone

coral narwhal
#

still having issues with the last part though

graceful coral
#

I had some pretty manipulative "friends" in 2nd grade and learned pretty fast after that most humans are Shit™️ and I just stopped caring about other people since

coral narwhal
#

yup happened to me aswell lol

ripe drum
#

yeah it's really not as crazy as ucas advisors at school make out, if you're willing to put the work in and show dedication there's really no boundary to getting into uni in the UK

coral narwhal
#

in the form of a minecraft server

#

great fun, giving them mod and then them while im offline destroying every building i made on my own minecraft server

#

and since i was like 11 i of course had no back ups

cobalt thicket
#

@ripe drum How'd you reckon I'd fair applying a year early, considering I'd be 18 in november

ripe drum
#

@cobalt thicket you might have some issues with some accommodation providers (if you're moving out) being under 18, but I knew quite a few people who started uni at 16/17 because they came from abroad

graceful coral
#

They used me for making really horrible jokes, swindled me of money, and beat on me as "playing"

coral narwhal
#

yeah that didn't happen to me

cobalt thicket
#

Did they have the quals?

coral narwhal
#

i usually just got used to help them with stuff

#

and making fun of me afterwards

#

but didn't take any money or beat me

#

anyways nice talk shadowed

#

but imma go to sleep

#

good night everyone!

graceful coral
#

Sleep well

#

Dinner for me.

coral narwhal
#

french exam for me tomorrow and its already 1 am so ye lol

#

have a nice meal

#

see ya

ripe drum
#

I'm not massively sure, I think most people I know who went to uni without quals ended up doing an access course or a foundation degree, but I guess it'd really depend on where you applied

cobalt thicket
#

Any you recommend that are "easy" to get into and have a cyber sec course?

#

I've heard Portsmouth falls under that, but not sure on others

ripe drum
#

Hallam I know has one, there's loads in Scotland that are really good (based on CTF results). Northumbria has good facilities for cyber sec too

cobalt thicket
#

I'm familiar with the guys down at Hallam

graceful coral
#

I've heard from a number of people that a CS degree is the best way to go, even if youre going into security

cobalt thicket
#

I won't hit entry requirements for CS

ripe drum
#

At least in UK unis, the cyber security degrees are still largely CS but more applied 🙂

#

certainly if I was to apply to uni again I'd apply for a cyber security degree, but I've already changed my mind on degree twice 😂

#

got to finish this one!

cobalt thicket
#

I wanna go to uni for the people, not the course

#

I know Cyber Sec degrees aren't as prestigious as CS, but if I wanted prestigious I'd still be in school.

graceful coral
#

Here in the US, most of the "cybersecurity" bachelors I've looked at are terrible and just capitalizing on the hype

cobalt thicket
#

All computing students over here do the same first year

#

At least according to the unis and students I've talked to

ripe drum
#

Ahh yeah, cyber security degrees are starting to take traction here now though. The NCSC (I guess a more specialised version of the NSA-equivalent) have started producing a list of degrees they accredit 🙂 It's mainly master's degrees now but trickling through to under grad https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/information/ncsc-certified-degrees

meager compass
#

you'd be surprised who'll accept you! I failed gcses & a levels and got into mostly russel group unis 🙂

ripe drum
#

yeah computing 1st year is very flexible, specialisms tend to start in 2nd year onwards

graceful coral
#

I'm probably going to get a masters because I sorta want to teach after I've worked a "normal" job for a few decades

#

I wouldnt mind getting a masters in like Applied Security or similar, at least it would be more focused in that area

#

Oh wow, theres a fair number of certified programs in the UK

ripe drum
#

Yeah, I mean most computing degrees are certified by the BCS but the NCSC ones are particularly interesting as they tend to be quite applied

#

But then again I should be graduating in Bioengineering in 6 months and that has nothing to do with cyber sec but I'm working in it anyway 😂

graceful coral
#

What does bioengineering entail?

ripe drum
#

I chose to specialise in medical device design :)

#

So a lot of my studying is to do with electronics, control systems and then a bit on integrating that into the body

graceful coral
#

Oh cool. I've read a few articles and papers on the lack of security thought put into medical devices, so maybe you could improve it :D

ripe drum
#

haha very true, I've done a talk on poor security implementation in medical devices before 🙂

graceful coral
#

:D\

#

Any of them public or would you rather not dox yourself?

ripe drum
#

nothing public, was at a medical hackathon but don't think it was recorded (thankfully)

fair flower
#

are there any osx rooms.

meager compass
#

no, because the platform does not support osx to upload

#

but osx is very, very similar to linux anyhow 🙂

fair flower
#

i see, thanks

tropic lava
#

@meager compass closer to bsd, but then the only BSD room is bebop

#

Again, no support

#

But the AWS VM converter doesn't convert Debian 9/10 so asking for any bsd support is uh. Yeah.

devout nest

does anyone know if there's a way to make the terminal curse at you when you type something wrong? I saw something like that in reddit but I can't for the life of me find it again

don't let your family know you're "good with computers" so you won't suffer the same @ home lol

Timezones are hard.

It's nearly 10pm and pure daylight

cobalt thicket

how

tropic lava
#

@cobalt thicket I'm uh. In SFO rn, also screwed up my sleep cycle anyway

#

had like 15 hours sleep in 3 nights

keen girder
#

takes me a month every time i screw up my sleep cycle to fix things

tropic lava
#

I'm going to be on GMT -8 for a while

#

Which is basically only 2 hours out from what I've been doing the last 2 days since I'm ded

keen girder
#

just so you know if you go without sleep for 4 days you will start to go insane. so enjoy that tidbit

tropic lava
#

Yep

#

Also if you don't see any people for like a week it can be even worse

keen girder

I only get por favor

LOL

graceful coral

#

I’m sorry, I don’t speak Spanish. Speak English please?

jagged wing
#

Ahhh

graceful coral

Except

#

Hablar would be more correct

#

I’m that sense at least

#

Frickin verbs

#

Oh well

Im taking latin, not spanish

#

Anyways. I said you were very funny

#

Ironically I know more spanish than latin 😂😂

#

And ty

#

😂

#

I got two girls that both like me and I like them both pretty much equally... Idk what to do lol

#

I mean

#

I’m taking spiritual being into view also btw

#

So

#

Do these 2 girls know each other?

#

Yes

#

Oooooof

#

They are friends

#

😂

#

You are fucked

fair flower
#

Nonmonogamous lifestyle?

graceful coral
#

Nah nah

#

The odds they'll go for that arent likely

fair flower
#

Like 90% of my friends are poky lmao

graceful coral
#

So... One is older by a year, very beautiful girl, very sweet personality. The other has more of the same interest, Beautiful, and idk about religious stuff yet

fair flower
#

poly*

graceful coral
#

The other is older by like a month

#

How much does religion matter to you?

jagged wing
#

Tbh religious usually breaks relationships

graceful coral
#

I mean, I believe all of God’s creation is beautiful, so I’m not trying to base it off of looks

#

Umm

#

That should answer your question @graceful coral lol

#

And from what you're saying, it seems you only have one real play here

jagged wing
graceful coral
#

They both have the same religion

#

Just don’t know about how strong

#

For one of them

#

python -c 'import random;print(random.choice(["girl 1","girl 2"])'

#

OOF

#

Run that^

jagged wing
#

Shudders in being an agnostic aethist

graceful coral
#

Sorry

jagged wing
#

Random isn't good enough though

graceful coral
#

Didn’t mean to make this uncomfortable Qz

jagged wing
#

Nah I'm OK with it

#

I love conversations about religions

#

Haha

graceful coral
#

Meanwhile im over here going to about 30 different hells

fair flower
#

dude same

jagged wing
#

Ayy what if there isn't one

graceful coral
#

Ive prayed to just about every deity in every pantheon, for one occasion or another

jagged wing
graceful coral
#

😂

#

Pretty sure that breaks every religion's blasphemy laws

#

But anyways

#

Idk what the heck

jagged wing
#

I would say go with the flow

graceful coral
#

One might like someone else along with me tho

#

Let the snake(python I swear) decide for ya

jagged wing
#

And see who u are more comfortable with

graceful coral
#

I can tell you which one I’m more nervous around

#

😂

#

For real tho Qz is right

#

How well do you know these 2

jagged wing
#

Don't let nervousness trick u into thinking u like one more tho

graceful coral
#

One I’ve known for years, the other for almost a year

jagged wing
#

That's prolly the crushing stage

graceful coral
#

The one I’ve known longer is the one I’m more nervous around

jagged wing
#

Imo there's your answer

graceful coral
#

^

jagged wing
#

Or at least it would have been mind

graceful coral
#

Its my belief as well

#

Whatever you decide bro

#

Urrrrrgh

We believe in ya! @graceful coral

Hey

But to be fair the rare chance u get both traits in one girl

Get her immediately

If u could somehow combine them into one

graceful coral

Took me a second

#

Assuming he has contacts in high levels of government,he might be able to @jagged wing

jagged wing
#

His so goddamn young

#

His age alone is a big big bonus already

graceful coral
#

Hm?

jagged wing
#

Was it 15 or 16

#

My short term memory sucks

graceful coral
#

15

#

One is 15 the other is 16

#

So prbly no contacts in government

#

I do

#

Actually

#

A lot

jagged wing
#

Young age + pentest experience already

graceful coral
#

Yea

jagged wing
#

He defo has contacts

#

😂

graceful coral

😂

#

Most people on this server are quite young @jagged wing

#

It brings me hope for the youth of tmrw!

jagged wing
#

Cries in mid 20s

graceful coral
#

I’ve done Bug Bounties for 3 years now

craggy osprey
#

I don't have hope for my youth 😮

graceful coral

Almost 4

craggy osprey
#

How'd you get started @graceful coral

graceful coral
#

HackThisSite

#

I thought I could hack a bank because I could edit cookies 😂

#

cries in 17 yold

craggy osprey
#

I mean.. That's not how that...

jagged wing
#

Would u agree that all the easy bug bounties monies are gone

graceful coral
#

Then I realized that’s not how it works

tropic lava
#

I got started in cyber with Google's warm up CTF

graceful coral

@jagged wing

@graceful coral not with that attitude

#

😂

#

Then I learned SQLi

#

Then XSS

jagged wing
#

Ayy

graceful coral
#

Then decided to start coding exploits

jagged wing
#

Then Metasploit appeared

graceful coral
#

Ummm

craggy osprey
#

lol

graceful coral
#

Change my mind metasploit is the iphone of pentesting

#

Metasploit was “dead” by the time I found it

#

Like

#

Everyone hated it

#

I mean

#

You could use metasploit

The chat log here is interesting.

graceful coral
#

Or you could google the cve name + github

I wish nikto still had the +msf format

tropic lava
#

Imo offtopic goes ontopic a lot in many servers

jagged wing
#

That's true

graceful coral
#

I still maintain

#

Offtopic needs to be abolished

tropic lava
#

Because normally it's a gathering of like-minded people

graceful coral
#

I went off topic

#

I mean

jagged wing
#

The benefit of off topic is we can talk about any topic

graceful coral
#

On that girl thing

#

😂

tropic lava
#

It exists for us to direct people to

graceful coral
#

The litteral definition of general is off topic

jagged wing

We went off topic on off topic

I... myself, just started taking (GIAC) classes at SANS, so I'm just to figure out what path I wanna take, and where I'm gonna end up... I feel like mock ctfs, and christmas advent is pretty fun, permitted I'm still getting familiar with various tools.

#

The way you worded that is perfect

keen girder
#

time to get back to work

#

lol thnks I R is a master linguist

jagged wing
#

A cunning one indeed

graceful coral
#

There is no activity in pentesting that makes me want to put a gun to my head more, than dirsearching

jagged wing
#

U mean the filesystem kind or the web kind

graceful coral
#

Web kind

jagged wing
#

At least that's more automated

#

Or just let gobuster do its thing

graceful coral
#

Thats what makes it awful

#

I am somehow watching a less interesting version of paint drying

jagged wing
#

Nothing I love more than having time in between for getting coffee

graceful coral
#

You're suggestion of using dirsearch time to do other things, is noted

#

Alas

#

I am still inclined to play russian roulette

craggy osprey
#

I feel the coffee idea is more productive

graceful coral
#

I dont drink coffee tho

craggy osprey
#

:O

keen girder
#

i dont either but definatly keep a fully stocked pantry of energy drinks

graceful coral
#

O HALLELUJAH

#

@keen girder I've drank all my energy drinks

keen girder
#

but the rule is not to go over 400 mg of caffeine a day

craggy osprey
#

I've come here to crack this box, and finish my energy drinks... but I've already drank my energy drinks.

#

Why 400mg?

jagged wing
#

Any time is snack time

craggy osprey
keen girder
#

its the daily limit of caffeine too much of that stuff can screw with how your brain works

graceful coral
#

@jagged wing you are correct

#

It's also 10 pm

#

I should be lying down

craggy osprey
#

Fair enough, so I should cut back energy drinks and smoke instead :)

graceful coral
#

Alas if I don't beat this I wont be able to sleep

keen girder
#

nothing like a side of cancer with your crippling insomnia

#

Last night I told myself tt too at 11pm

I ended up sleeping at 3am

graceful coral
#

The state of my organization rn

#

letter d is still available tho

keen girder
#

its a tmp dir delete all the files

graceful coral
#

I prbly should

#

I cant remember why I made them

#

oh c is a directory with stuff in it

#

I gotta organize my stuff better

keen girder
#

lol

graceful coral
#

I do far too much work in my tmp directory

#

it has bitten me far too many times

keen girder
#

reminds me of the users who store their important files in the recycle bin

graceful coral
#

It sounds stupid when you say it like that

#

because it is stupid

craggy osprey
#

Well you told me I shouldn't store them on my Desktop, so I put it in the fancy steel caged can on there instead.

graceful coral
#

Teehee~

keen girder
#

i knew a doc who did that with there dissertation i always clean the recycle bin on tech jobs

#

it was a bad day

graceful coral
#

lmfaoooooooooooooo

#

Tell me he had a backup?

keen girder
#

nope

graceful coral
#

yoooooooooo

craggy osprey
#

Have you ever used recursive storage when your desktop becomes to clustered?

graceful coral
#

My desktop never becomes cluttered

#

all of my files are in tmp

craggy osprey
#

Desktop/Desktop/Desktop.bak/Backup/Restored.

keen girder
#

tried using recurva to restore it but didnt work

craggy osprey
#

I mean if you're not taking backups of your backups, then you're not doing it right.

#

That was a fun misconfiguration error :)

graceful coral
#

Take backups of your backups, backups

keen girder
#

yah took the oscp once when i was young and stupid have six different backups of the tutorials they gave me

#

will go after it again when im more prepared

#

was back in the backtrack days

craggy osprey
#

Hey!

#

I'm young and stupid, I should take it.

keen girder
#

do it ! you totally wont regret it later

#

also makes a great story for your kids

craggy osprey
#

I just want to tell them stories of how I went from zero to hero.

keen girder
#

you definatly need examples of zero for that to work

craggy osprey
#

There I was, bbq sauce on my tiddies.

keen girder
#

hahaha way better then what i was going to say

craggy osprey
#

What were you gonna say?

keen girder
#

step 1 do stupid stuff .... step 3 profit

craggy osprey
#

Step 1 encrypt hdd with password

graceful coral
#

I am also young and stupid

#

as evidenced by my filesystem adventures

craggy osprey
#

Step 2 set bios secure password

#

Step 3 forget those passwords.

#

Step 4 profit

graceful coral
#

That is something

#

I could very easily do

#

;-;

keen girder
#

yah bios passwords are easly removed via the jumper swithc

#

think harder

craggy osprey
#

Also tried upgrading ram.

graceful coral
#

just pull out ur cmos battery

#

and then ur good

craggy osprey
#

In a laptop.

graceful coral
#

I mean

#

that can be done

#

depending on the laptop

craggy osprey
#

Forgot there was a battery that needed taken out.

#

Heard a bzzzzzzzzzzzzt

#

Power cord was plugged in too

graceful coral
#

ok I gotta be like mega stupid

#

ive read like 20 articles on this thing, and it seems mega archaric rn

keen girder
#

didnt you know ram is hotswappable

craggy osprey
#

It was hot alright, live and loaded.

graceful coral
#

o no

craggy osprey
#

What megastupid thing you do @graceful coral

graceful coral
#

ive got like

#

a mental block on this go library

#

it doesnt help that I dont know go

craggy osprey
#

People actually know go.

#

Woah

graceful coral
#

It seems so

#

Im more of a rust man myself

craggy osprey
#

Wasnt it made by Twitter or something like that.

graceful coral
#

Go was made by Google

craggy osprey
#

That's ab all I know.

#

Not even that lmao

keen girder
#

i once read a article of a programmer who hired a chinese man for all of his work and gave him a small percentage of his pay

#

seems like that might work

#

oh do you know chinese ?

graceful coral
#

I also read that article

#

and no

#

I dont

craggy osprey
#

So but my job literally anywhere else, taught me indian, and by that I mean the english accent version. So I could pay a man from India to do the same.

graceful coral
#

and JESUS CHRIST IM TRYING TO INSTALL A PLUGIN WHY IS THIS SO IMPOSSIBLE

craggy osprey
#

Just right a Python API to parse whatever your doing itll be faster

#

Write ×××

graceful coral
#

ya know what

#

time to completely reinstall go

#

wait

#

that will break quite a bit

craggy osprey
#

Time to ×go× reinstall

graceful coral
#

go can go fuck itself

keen girder
#

sounds like you need a support dog at work

#

how can i help homan

graceful coral
#

I have a support switch?

#

does that count

keen girder
#

nope

#

switch games can piss you off when you cant beat the game

graceful coral
#

OMFG

#

THAT WORKED

#

I didnt think that would work

keen girder
#

congrads

graceful coral
#

ok thats step 1

#

now time to figure out this library

craggy osprey
#

Is step 3 still to profit

graceful coral
#

if profit means sleeping

#

then maybe

craggy osprey
#

It's a build of go called go fuckyourself

graceful coral
#

reminds me of C+=

#

if you all havent read this page

#

read it now

craggy osprey
#

wtf is this

graceful coral
#

it is hilarious

#

dude

craggy osprey
#

Brb... I'm on a mission from god.

graceful coral
#

read it now

keen girder
#

you underestimate my laziness

graceful coral
#

these docs litterally make no sense

#

I have no idea where these functions are coming from

#

They make a client file right

#

and they use functions that have litterally never been mentioned before

#

and its like

#

am I supposed to make these or what?

keen girder
#

global functions ?

graceful coral
#

nope

keen girder
#

well i tried

graceful coral
#

welp

#

I tried to look at the github import link

#

and its a 404

#

I guess ill just go fuck myself then

#

thats what github just told me to do

keen girder
#

try searching the github search to see if they just moved it to a different page

graceful coral
#

if they did

#

then they changed the name too

keen girder
#

refer to above gif

graceful coral
#

ok

#

I went to the user page

#

and found the repo

#

and the files have changed from what the docs have told me

keen girder
#

i see this a total win

graceful coral
#

This is infuriating

keen girder
#

so what is your end goal for writing this go thingy

graceful coral
#

wait

#

theres another generated file

#

oh you gotta be kidding me

#

and its to get creds for this box im doing

#

I gotta say

#

they making me work for it

keen girder
#

oof all for internet points

graceful coral
#

indeed

#

aight

#

ive got the second generated file

#

thats step 1.5

#

now

#

this file contains all I need

#

now to figure out how to use it!

#

it occurs to me I dont know how to import files with go

Whatever it takes.

#

I will get these creds

#

oh I see

Any of you guys use VMware? I downloaded player (in linux mint) to give it a try, but when it wants to install a component or an update, it asks for your password (su privilege) on its own window, in contrast to literally every other program I've used, which asks for a password on my system's window. Do you think that's a security concern?

pseudo escarp
#

@devout nest Yeah I do, what one though? I use Fusion so may not be able to help

devout nest
#

I don't have any isse with the software, I'm just asking if that's a concern

pseudo escarp
#

Nah, doesn't seem like an issue. Host passwd or VM passwd?

devout nest
#

It's asking for my user's password (with sudo privileges) to install something. That's normal. But it's asking for it in its own window, not my system's window which I'm used to

#

all of this in the host system

urban crescent

Coursework mostly done, now I'm bored

@devout nest some distros do that.

I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words.

You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands.

Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue.

But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it.

You’re fucking dead, kiddo." );
