What could a reason be for a greyhat?
latent stirrup
Boredom
Nah, I'm pretty greyhat most of the time
Keep it on the legal enough side tho
distant herald
Because I think I'll fall into that category as well once I've finally got my bearings
forest rivet
Say there's a flaw in apache. You've tested this on your own systems, which is whitehat, and submitted it to be fixed. But the apache team doesn't do anything about it. You expect that blackhats would've already found this same exploit, so in bold move to get apache to actually fix it, you tell the public about the exploit. This is gray territory because you really shouldn't do public disclosure until after the patch.
tame ledge
Or you hack into webservers and patch the vulnerability yourself
formal sparrow
Probably, but that's also very illegal
forest rivet
which is why it's grayhat. Not legal, but not morally wrong
grayhatting is a fine line that's absolutely easy to take too far
formal sparrow
^^
latent stirrup
I know several compnies with deployments in the wild that use vulnerabilities intentionally on their systems for access and communication
"Patching" them would piss them off alot
And a "good deed" becomes a legal case
latent stirrup
Yep, these aren't small companies either
forest rivet
"change" and "big company" might as well be antonyms

forest rivet
Nah, @tame ledge, I need more knowledge to be effective in KotH
tame ledge
Just run:- rm -rf /* when you get root 😏
forest rivet
Don't need the *, but yes
latent stirrup
You do need a --no-preserve-root tho
distant herald
Wasn't that against the rules, same for rootkits?
latent stirrup
Yep
distant herald
What does that do?
forest rivet
rm removes, -f forceignores errors, -r is recursive, meaning everything beneath
distant herald
I meant the no preserve root
forest rivet
probably doesn't preserves root
tame ledge
It does not preserve root
distant herald
I already broke my system once with the rm after a friend "helped" me
tame ledge
That's a nice friend
forest rivet
doesn't sound like a friend
buoyant token
I like this is going, already stuff that I dont understand xDD
latent stirrup
You can't run rm -rf / without passing a --no-preserve-root flag these days
distant herald
English is not my native tongue, so I might misunderstand a few things here and there
latent stirrup
To stop people from being trolled into running rm -rf / I'm assuming
tame ledge
distant herald
Yeah, that's what happened to me hahaha
forest rivet
right, but I mean why not just disallow it
distant herald
I needed to remove a folder with contents
forest rivet
don't need no preserve root for that
latent stirrup
It's probarbly needed for LFS systems or something, some low level magic we'll never use
distant herald
Maybe for formatting the disk if you install the os?
forest rivet
the link says that firmware is mounted on modern systems, so you'd be clearing that out too
distant herald
Who else is a gamer?
And from that list, who uses Linux for gaming?

sudo apt install pacman
forest rivet
I'm a gamer, I suppose
buoyant token
there are work arounds were you can play steam games on linux something has to do with WINE and stuff
there are youtube videos about that stuff xD

Someone run a GET HTTP/1.1 in their terminal and see if they get the same
I'm not running any webservers or anything either, am I missing something here?
forest rivet
When HTML looks like BrainFuck
latent stirrup
I checked, there's no apache service running
Is anyone able to replicate this on parrot?
forest rivet
I don't really understand what you did. What does it mean to run GET HTTP/1.1 in your terminal?
So I just got an email regarding un-lockdown procedures next week. Here's one of the rules. Can you tell that my boss codes? :p
"All employees must stay 2 meters from each other at all times - except when there's a wall between you."
I think that depends on how you do it
send a websitelink to them in an email or on discord etc?
right
no, that's fine. But it borders on illegal presuming malicious intent
forest rivet
then, no, it's fine. But if you start scanning that ip or similar, then it becomes illegal
formal sparrow
Most websites log your IP. Just part of being on the internet
forest rivet
yeah, once in a while legal stuff is simple. This is one of those rare cases
formal sparrow
If you're deliberately trying to get it to commit further offences then it's a crime
If it's just a by-product of browsing the web, then it's fine
buoyant token
something off-topic that I wanted to share, I only woke up to an email and a notification from google saying someone in bengladish was trying to get my email password, they gave me his public IP 😄

distant herald
keeps happening to my old steam account

Why not allow free users to create a private room for KOTH?
or being able to join a private room made by someone who is subscribed?

@distant herald i'll go on a limb here and say...ehm Resources!
maybe idk
me is nub
forest rivet
Plus a business case. There's already many reasons to sign up, and frankly, I think it's already too cheap for what you get. Giving KotH away for free would be pretty wild
buoyant token
@forest rivet bruh tbh once I get the chance I will be a subscriber!!
distant herald
same KOTH seems like so much fun!
forest rivet
Exactly. From a business perspective, there's hardly much reason to trial any more material. The major bottleneck is that much of the target demographic can't afford the subscription, regardless if they think that the value proposition is fair.
Or at least that's my conjecture
distant herald
For me that's the case, even though it's only €10, it's still double my phone bill

hey guys I had a question I just finished my last Java class ever and from now on I can code in anything that I want
should I get into python or C#? (I am an Electrical engineering student)
I am also not very good at coding so I don't know which is best to learn all the data structures and algorithms and OOP
graceful coral
@oblique flume what language are you gonna use more in your line of work
oblique flume
tbh I can do around the same with both but Java will not be for me
graceful coral
If it's python, learn python, if it's C# learn C#
Java and C# are practically the same
oblique flume
🤔 I see do you recommend it to learn algorithms and OOP or python would be easier to grasp those concepts?
oblique flume
soooooooo it would be easier for me to learn python to REALLY learn how to code first
and then move on others?
oblique flume
because I don't know if you remember I told you we had like 2 years of Java in a semester so I was confused
🤔 I see well thanks for the advice
graceful coral
Every language has its own uses

yeah but my problem is more on how to solve problems

@outer vale Well, considering the difficulty and the quite handful challenges, leetcode is definitely worth the time. I meant that saying as a slight edge, you know.

I am learning to hack and trying to know how fat rat works.I have iphone and I want to know if I can test it on my phone
forest rivet
And you've tried googling the question, yes? -- it sounds rather googlable :p
unkempt estuary
I didn't found.May be I don't know how to search or no answer related to my question exist.
forest rivet
the lack of proper results for "fatrat" and "iphone" is an indication that the two don't really go together
unkempt estuary
What do u think about that?Have u experienced using FATRAT?
forest rivet
no, but I google stuff professionally :p
unkempt estuary
Cool
forest rivet
That is -- i'm a coder ;)
In either case, it sounds like you need another tool for iphone. Not surprising with how locked down they are

I killed my LinkedIn some time ago... Guess I'm gonna have to go looking for one of those job things everyone keeps talking about sooner or later

why'd you do that?
graceful coral
It’s good for job listings sometimes. It is basically just Facebook for people with jobs though
proper iris
Needed a break from it and recruiters to focus on other things
@graceful coral yeah but you really have to be more careful about what you post 😛
graceful coral
Recruiters are the worst lmao, necessary evil I guess though? I’ve had a few positive recruiter experiences but 90% have been garbage
forest rivet
some things are worth shoveling through the poopy for.
forest rivet

graceful coral
I’ve not even said any bad words though 😦

@forest rivet Unpaid sadly
proper iris
Well a lot of them come looking to pull you into jobs you really don't want to do. I had one recruiter chasing me for a whole year to do one particular Identity and Access Management role in one company that was the most boring part of my role in another that I left
forest rivet
Demand a raise.
proper iris
I'm experienced and skilled enough now to be able to take my pick in the areas I want to work
forest rivet
why didn't you just block them?
graceful coral
I had one a few months ago trying to frame a 1st line support job as a security job
Yeah installing antivirus occasionally doesn’t make it not a desktop support job
tropic lava
Makes it a security job for sure
Maintaining and ensuring the integrity and availability of company resources with software deployments and patching
forest rivet
I mean, on paper, yes, but is that the practice? I'm going to guess that no
graceful coral
Making sure that devices are replaced securely when somebody drops it in their mug of coffee
tropic lava
Making sure users don't feel insecure. Even HR is a security job.
forest rivet
Gotta make sure those screws are tightened securely
graceful coral
I always fasten my seat belt so I can get to work securely
forest rivet
job security is a security job, yes.
graceful coral
job security as a coder is just obfuscating everything so no one can read it
proper iris
Well no matter what role you go into there's going to be things that are kind of repetitive and dull but I was literally the only person in the city available and experienced in this one, quite well paying role... I don't want to name the producer of this particular tool but it's essential in most big businesses today
forest rivet
ah, good old variable fruit salad, pars
we have a new version of that today.
this is valid Swift code
graceful coral
@proper iris I agree there’s always going to be repetitive stuff I don’t like. But when I tell a recruiter that I’m not interested in another desktop support job because as far as desktop support goes my current gig is as good as it’s going to get. I’m going to be annoyed when he tried to pressure me into a 1st-2nd line support job
proper iris
I remember one recruiter looking to hire a Linux admin and called me for a phone interview. There was a picture of me with Linus Torvalds on my profile and the recruiter asked me which person was me. When I identified myself she says "I was hoping you'd be the other one"...
forest rivet
Yes, Linus needs a linkedin job recruiter
graceful coral
Also ima just automate all the repetitive stuff
proper iris
@graceful coral Yeah it's really important when you feel you've gotten all the experience you can get from an entry level position to turn those down right away unless you're really struggling to get a job
forest rivet
I hear he's quite.. opinionated, James. Skilled af, sure, but perhaps shouldn't be the first person people try to go to
tropic lava
He's very opinionated
proper iris
Imagine having Linux as your linux admin
@tropic lava I had a heated argument with him at LinuxCon once and he subtly made a point of refuting it during the closing one-to-one on stage by mimicking my hand gesture and repeating what I'd said in a mocking tone. classic Linus
tropic lava
Nice.
forest rivet
pffh.
proper iris
Well he's more approachable than Stallman. After a short conference in Belfast back in 2006 he spent a good 10 mins talking with a bunch of us and then sat in the corner with his laptop ignoring us and picking his nose
forest rivet
You've been around, huh? :p
proper iris
I got lucky
An old college lecturer (who'd been my programming and Linux lecturer in college) got in touch so we gathered a small bunch of Linux officianados and caught the bus up to Belfast for the day. Small enough crowd, He wrote an article about it for Linux Journal
proper iris
It was a fun day out 🙂 But even after the Saint Ignucius speech, I never delved into Emacs in a big way
VI VI VI is the number of the beast @:P
forest rivet
haha, that war has nearly died out these days hasn't it?
proper iris
Well I think most newcomers who go down any kind of certification route will be exposed to nano, vi/vim and gedit or some alternative but there's so many other cool ways to manage Linux these days ... A lot less micromanagement
forest rivet
true enough. Writing speed has never been less important, I suppose
proper iris
Once you get kinda good you end up with Ansible/Chef/Puppet/Kubernetes etc for hundreds or thousands of VMs and containers.You still have to manage things exceptionally well but you make a single golden image for your deployment and your automation tools check to make sure everyrhiung is cool and if it's not it just kills and replaces. It's actually pretty cool if it's done right.
forest rivet
I have a friend who's into Kubernetes. It seems pretty wild. I understand the concept, but in practice, I think I'd be a terrible person to manage it :p
proper iris
Well like anything it takes practice 😛 I'm by no means an expert in it but you can use it to streamline a great deal if containers are your thing
forest rivet
Luckily my projects are too small (but important!!11) to require that sort of scaling :)
proper iris
It's still fun to learn 🙂 I try to know a bit of everything even while I'm focused on something else just to see what it's about
forest rivet
yeah, I try to do the same mostly. That's why I'm here :p But getting up to speed on the red team side of cyber security, especially things that aren't directly coding related, has my plate filled for quite a bit for now.
lethal egret
@urban crescent reeeeeeeee
urban crescent

forest rivet
🍰
proper iris
Yeah I know what you mean, it's fairly time-consuming but it's a lot of fun 🙂 I split my time between security and sys admin stuff mostly
forest rivet
I try to do a similar split with security and coding. But I sorta hit a wall in that I'm having trouble improving the coding without knowing what "the bad guys" do and use. Any time you code something in a webserver, you're opening yourself up to some sort of attack if you aren't careful. I was already aware of the classics like sql injection, user enumeration, and some more creative things like timing attacks, but at some point you just gotta have to see the other side with your own eyes to really understand what's going on.
proper iris
Of course but you also have to get your projects working. If you get your features built you can fix them afterwards but of course you have to try to keep your standards high and minimise the number of bugs that creep into your application. It helps to know how those kinda things are attacked and to actually try to break in and see what's vulnerable. Years ago I had a friend who would casually break into company websites to fix the bugs he found... Anything from buffer overflows to browser incompatibilities
forest rivet
If you get your features built you can fix them afterwards
I'd rather not learn about a security vulnerability by an outsider exploiting it :D
tropic lava
Remember, that is often illegal
forest rivet
Deffos illegal, grayhat or not
tropic lava
I wonder if any countries have a "with malicious intent" clause
forest rivet
probably
proper iris
It was very highly illegal what he was doing but this was at a time when there wasn't as much of a focus on security.
And yeah I'm sure it wouldn't have been looked on favourably if he was fixing with malicious intent 😛
forest rivet
Fixing with malicious intent is when I do code review for a novice at work :p
proper iris
Yeah we definitely didn't approve of his behaviour and he was definitely to the darker side of grey hat with some of what he was doing. He did go on to bug bounties, pen testing, and being a very highly skilled security engineer for some prominent companies. Not bad for a guy who never went to college and fell in love with Linux while working in a call centre
forest rivet
Is it just me or do pentesting folk tend to have a much higher than usual rate of selftaughts than other areas of IT? This coming from a selftaught coder :p
tropic lava
I mean hacking isn't encouraged most of the time
proper iris
Being self-taught definitely gets more prominence but a lot of us started out just being left alone with a computer at some point and developing an interest.
tropic lava
Teaching it is risky, people might use it for illegal
forest rivet
that's true. You don't wanna be the school which taught that top hacker to do bad thing x
proper iris
Hacking in the malicious sense definitely not but things like CoderDojo and even Hacker Highschool and similar are becoming more prevalent. There's even a kids' section at Def Con these days
tropic lava
I think slowly it's rising as a uni course as people realise that it's important
forest rivet
Then we just need to wait 10 years (or more) for politicians to allow it
proper iris
Yeah both the colleges I've been to are now teaching cybersec along with lots of others. Once big business sees something as essential it becomes necessary college work but academics have been at this stuff a long time too. Anyone see Cliff Stoll's Ted Talk or read his book about the Russian hacker back in the 80s?
forest rivet
ooh, I remember that talk very, very vaguely
proper iris
I found it very entertaining 😛 He discovered a hacker, reported him to the FBI and set up honeypots, did digital forensics, tracked him back to Russia and invented a firewall for his university network
forest rivet
hahah, nice!
proper iris
This was back in the 80s around the time I was discovering the joys of waiting for Commodore 64 games to load
forest rivet
Luckily I didn't have to wait for that :p
proper iris
We had a tape deck you plugged into the C64 using normal blank cassettes you'd get music albums on. My friend up the road got some games on a cartridge that would load almost instantaneously. Joke's on him, I learned to code a little bit and he went working for the government
forest rivet
Yeah, I have no doubt that tinkering with a C64 was the way to learn coding early then :) What I meant is that I wasn't born to have to wait for it :p
proper iris
Some were born lucky 😛 As a kid I spent a lot of time waiting around for things to happen... Life was slow for everyone til the 90s
forest rivet
But then things picked up speed cause I was born ;)
proper iris
Haha yeah people had to work much faster and harder when you came along 😛
forest rivet
That's the price of progress!
proper iris
Ah but progress in which direction?
forest rivet
A very, very silly direction!
proper iris
In that case I'll need to consult my associates in the ministry for silly walks... they'll know the best way to get moving on it...
forest rivet
Joke's on them. I have tractor wheels for legs
gotta love Monty Python, though
Poor john got fed up doing silly walks for the live shows
proper iris
Yeah they're absolutely hilarious.
It was a pity, getting older just had the usual negative effect on his flexibility
forest rivet
It's almost as if the walks were designed to be impractical, huh? :p
proper iris
Well that was the whole point wasn't it?
forest rivet
I swear I can hear john cleese saying that in my mind's ear
proper iris
Yeah I tried to imagine a John Cleese interview where he's dialoguing with the interviewer, making a statement, being quizzed while he looks down and rocks forward a little, scratching his arm or something...
proper iris
forest rivet
damn, i really thought he said something along the lines with "Well that's the bloody point, isn't it?!" or something in that clip
Also, I'm getting terribly tired. I should probably do that sleep thing
proper iris
Yeah I should do some of that at some point too but not for another while 😛
