I've gained weight since we found out about the baby

a good bit muscle, I'm still estimated at about 15% body fat

but now I'm 180 pounds, I was 155-160

but I also focused more on fighting and weights, and less rock climbing, though I've still done climbing exercises to make sure that I can climb when I need to

[viral fable]

[bold dawn]

[bold dawn]

I muscle my way up, not very skilled at it lmao

[naive violet]

Definitely possible, I did this although from 95kg

[chilly veldt]

Yeah, I have already kinda done it before, but the big sad and overeating took over 😅

[glass nest]

Well, if you need any help getting any side-hustles off the ground, you know where I am.

[chilly veldt]

I did too, went from 95-80kg in 3 months

[bold dawn]

Yeah, I understand. I think the stress about being such a young, financially instable dad made me gain

[glass nest]

Thats ok, Haber. You're clearly surrounded by an amazing support network. Both physically and digitally 🙂

[chilly veldt]

Esqy, you didn't answer my question, you wanna start a shop in Denmark?

[bold dawn]

Only have about 6k in our savings, need to try and keep upping that for emergency fund, and hopefully a downpayment eventually

[glass nest]

Bella... Are Domino's over there yet?

[bold dawn]

But with current standings, I'm breaking even with my checks, hopefully my recent raise helps that

[glass nest]

People, could you share any resources that you used for learning the networking stuff? I did some TryHackMe and HackTheBox academy modules, but I would need to understand better the http request headers for example and more concepts. I will also dive into Portswigger, but maybe you could recommend me something else...

[glass nest]

Nope. Just garlic bread. I'm sure I could make them though?

portswigger is more Web stuff

Hi,
I was contacted by a company called "Hi-Tech Talents" offering me a remote job (Backend Engineer) for a company in US called "LTK" for 5k USD.

I am 100% sure that they are fraud based on the conversation we had and used terms like "machine is packaged and sent to me" if I get accepted. Plus they were from India (no offense) and it is pretty famous for such scams. They even sent me a coderbyte assessment which I plan to start, write some blah blah code and submit in 1 minute just to see how it evolves further.

https://www.hitechtalents.com/

What can we do to such fraudsters as Cyber students?
Is it legal to do some recon, run some attacks on their websites?
What else?

[simple wave]

That sounds delectable

[loud marlin]

when you create ssh key, they come in pair. the 2x files public one and private. and to work properly both keys are needed

[rapid merlin]

is it this one?

[glass nest]

There we go, connections are being made. so now you have some search terms.

[sand trench]

looks like you should look into public private key pairs and asymetric encryption

[rapid merlin]

oh so its like that

like normal hashing

then i got it thanks

good night yall

You know what, some times a little time away from the screen helps. You come back with fresh eyes

i use eyes.refresh()

And you'd be married to a server

[feral spoke]

required 2fa on github going forward. any reasons why this isn't a good move moving forward?

[grizzled wing]

GitHub outlined some reasons when they initially rolled this out

[glass nest]

Because it's a hub of gits? 😄

[bold dawn]

just wondering… why?

[sand trench]

definitely not the intended usage

[buoyant tree]

free vpn prolly and to get on the same lan

[bold dawn]

ah, to do local play

[inner stump]

anyone know why i cant run a .elf file on the attackbox

[shut hawk]

definitely not allowed

[sand trench]

execute bit not set
missing libraries
it is not actually an executable file
and more

[inner stump]

this was an executable created for a payload using msfvenom

when i try to run it from the prompt it says permissions not allowed. double clicking just says there's nothing to run this type of file with

[shut hawk]

chmod +x

[inner stump]

ok ill try that

so it look like it ran because I didn't get an error but there's no session in metasploit

whats applying weight on u from the top is heavier than what u refering to as heavy applying weight on u attractin u down from the bottom
the air u bust up and the sky is heavier than what u call heavy, its a notion invented towards an indirect comparative end, not to be an absolute tag to refer to as a propriety, 5kg heavier than 2kg or water is heavier than calcium is just not a statement at all (like this one right here )

I’m so bad at privesc it’s crazy

[mossy river]

Is there anything in particular you struggle with?

If you say escalating privilege istg 🤣

[buoyant tree]

gaining access to a higher level of existence

[inner stump]

once I've established a shell and a connection with meterpreter what commands can I run?

[buoyant tree]

depend's on your privilege

but probably start with whoami

[mossy river]

https://docs.rapid7.com/metasploit/manage-meterpreter-and-shell-sessions/

[rapid merlin]

It’s not rlly something in particular. I just don’t look in the right places.

[buoyant tree]

or sudo -l

[inner stump]

whoami just says unknown command

[rapid merlin]

Check help menue

You can run hashdump

Can run metaspoit privesc

[scarlet mantle]

they call it an art, its bcz there is no right places, make a comprehensive list and follow the trail
as admirable as it is, implying intuision when intuision doesnt belong is not the way to go at the very start, at least for now

[inner stump]

so I can actually view someones webcam with this shell?

[mossy river]

Escalating privilege is something that just comes with time. Similarly to knowing what tools to run to attack a specific service, but what is great about privilege escalation is that it is relatively predictable because of Linux and Windows systems being the same.

My biggest advice I can give to anyone attacking a Linux OS is to look at what is different compared to a fresh install. Most challenge boxes only install what is necessary for the service and privilege escalation. As well as looking at a default installation, you will just start to see the differences over time. For example, looking in /bin and seeing an executable that didn't exist before.

And don't be afraid to use linpeas, lse and whatever other tools exist out there. Unless you are in an exam or environment that disallows them, they are incredibly helpful. Even if they don't directly tell you what to do, if a new service is on there that isn't on a normal linux install, you will likely see it on the output and can investigate.

There are also a lot of common folders and places you can look.

And my biggest piece of advice is: Don't worry too much about being bad at privesc. It only applies to boot2root challenges. Most CTFs you find on ctftime.org or wherever do not need you to even access the box and if you are looking to go into a pentesting role, privilege escalation (or even initial access) isn't always a requirement.

Learning is a process, you are at the centre of the storm so you don't know how much you have learned, but when you reflect it will surprise you.

[scarlet mantle]

AIO what have u done

xd

[inner stump]

any reason why screenshot just shows the windows screensaver instead of the actual desktop?

[mossy river]

Not all boxes have a GUI

[inner stump]

same with screenshare

[mossy river]

might just be a server

[inner stump]

weird

now how do I exit out of screenshare to enter more commands

im using rdp with this box so shouldn't it show the actual desktop with screenshot. it has a gui

[buoyant tree]

what did I do

[buoyant tree]

Nice advise, and you went all the way to elaborate everything.

[scarlet mantle]

xd was a joke as whom pfpless u helped asked if can spy on someone's webcam ahaha but he was obviously asking from a theorical scenario for science only

as it is well known meterpreter has that feature

I have questions, if they arent tech savvy, how eould they know to post in r/homenetworking without knowing what it is?

[dreamy shell]

it says net-something on the front, has to be networking related... 😛

Had a thought while at a bar after work yesterday, would careful vandalism of a QR code (scratching out some of the squares) to send a pleb to an attacker-owned domain be a viable attack vector for phishing? It seems like a lot of work to implement, but also less easy to detect than the normal approach (stick a different code over the top of the real one).

[slender scaffold]

Lol ❤️

[molten sky]

it'd take some luck and or effort

qr codes have pretty decent error checking

at least any decent one does

you could rip the entire corner off and it could very well still scan (correctly) depending on what was used to make it

[scarlet mantle]

i like ur ,pfp good job

[dreamy shell]

in my head I was thinking you'd need a copy of the code in advance, then decode it to get the URL and which parts of the pattern make which parts of the string (I may be completely wrong about how QR codes work). From there you'd need to identify which pattern areas you could alter to still make a readable URL string, but something with a modified domain that you could register yourself and set up with whatever payload you intended when it's loaded.

And then you'd need to go back and physically vandalise the QR code on the bar/table/whatever, but do it cleanly enough that the code is still readable.

Way, waaaaay more work than just slapping down a pre-printed sticker, but maybe better for remaining undetected for longer.

Dogcat and Dreaming rooms DONE 💪 that's all I've got in me for tonight lol time for some Simpsons

[sinful moon]

lol why did my EDR detect freaking Rufus on my boss’s computer. At least got to look impressive getting that sorted in under 5 minutes

[molten sky]

the question you should be asking is why is your boss even using rufus

he SHOULD be using ventoy and never needing rufus again after it's burned

[sinful moon]

lol I can say why, but was only marked as suspicious for a reason:

Abnormalities

This binary contains abnormal section names which could be an indication that it was created with non-standard development tools

General

This binary imports debugger functions

[molten sky]

lmao it uses a debugger? must be a virus

hi jabbas

[sinful moon]

Ventoy seems neat indeed, but I perked up when I saw random Rufus detection email lol

[mossy river]

Article overall has poor flow and is hard to follow. Their sections make it impossible to just scroll to the actual point of the article.

If you’re asking for my opinion on the article content, it sounds like the bitter opinion from someone who massively lacks understanding of what a penetration tester role is.

Not only does it sound like the role they were in was just terrible but I don’t even trust that they were a pentester tbh.

I am not a penetration tester nor do I work in the industry.

[molten sky]

Ventoy seems neat indeed
i was sarcastic at first, but have you actually not used ventoy?

[sinful moon]

I have not, I was more than reading up on it ealier. But yeah I figured. Isn’t that the multi-boot USB/ISO solution?

[molten sky]

yes. use it.

nothing easier

haven't burnt an iso onto a usb in years

[sinful moon]

Honestly never had a need for such, but it came up after some weirdo users who really needed persistence and odd use cases for flash drives

Totally fair

[molten sky]

literally drag and drop. i have a 128gb usb that is split half bootable isos half persistent accessable from live boot

[sinful moon]

Yeah for sure came up in my research and considered it

[molten sky]

got a dozen different isos on at once none burnt on

absolutely game changing

[sinful moon]

Totally fair, I’ll give it a try next time around. Sounded great.

[sinful moon]

lol expected Discord tech support vs work, I wish I had as much Linux questions at work lol

[molten sky]

ay

do you know server hw

like actually know it

oh nice ccw inst

Bah, you hit my weak point, no I’ve not fully adjusted to Xenon naming, but I can at least tell you v5 is head of my server’s dual Xenons

Also can tell by me spelling it wrong

[molten sky]

picking out a hetzner auction server

[sinful moon]

Ah, honestly it’s hard to go wrong with VPSes for most needs

[molten sky]

i know the i# chips well but fuck if i know anything about xeon

[molten sky]

but i neeed it

[sinful moon]

Do see Hetzner slighly more often in phishing as the source, but nowhere near as much as OVH

holy crap OVH hosts a lot of phishing mail servers unwittingly

[molten sky]

yeah hetzner is pretty decent about it actually (compared to other CSPs i mean)

if you report they'll actually shut it down too

they'll never be zero ofc

[sinful moon]

Yeah personally I love DigitalOcean but can’t complain with many of the VPS providers focused on SMB/individuals

Yeah I’ve for sure seen at least two from DigitalOcean but very rare

[molten sky]

have you seen hetzners prices tho?

the auction prices?

[sinful moon]

I have not, but I’m doing kinda cheap shared VPS hosting

[molten sky]

there is no possible way to get a server anywhere with 8 TB of storage for 30 bucks a month

[sinful moon]

Oh yeah, I’m not on that scale for my Linux infra either work or personal at all

[molten sky]

but yeah they can be pretty cheap

[sinful moon]

I was surprised when full backup of my web hosting server was 110MB compressed lol, seemed large :p

(home directory files needed to recreate Docker Compose setup and more). Most of it is sane in the docker-compose but does need to pull in some extra files and just get things going

[molten sky]

you want 128gb ram dedi?

30 bucks

[sinful moon]

Not bad

My much lower spec shared VM hosting only slightly undercuts that

[scarlet mantle]

elizabeth is it true sysadmin win lot lot more money than pentester and redteamer

is it also more stressfull? and much more efforts?

[sinful moon]

lol you misunderstand, I have many many job roles in this small company

[molten sky]

ya know what's stressful?

[sinful moon]

I’m sole infosec on all bases

[molten sky]

windows

fuck windows

[scarlet mantle]

nice

and the average one

[sinful moon]

Windows does indeed stress me out on personal devices, I can’t jive with it at all. But hey I sure can administrate it via AD and Group Policy just fine, making it slightly more sane at work

When I do put it on personal devices, I majorly take advantage of Local Group Policy to turn off everyting I don’t like

[molten sky]

as an employee fuck windows

as an admin yeah that's probably more consistent

[sinful moon]

Agreed

[heady stratus]

Has anyone else done the Signature Evasion room? I find it very frustrating. The instructions are really poorly written and I've run into so many technical problems with it...anyone else experiencing that?

[molten sky]

wait, we have that?

i should take a look

[sinful moon]

Possibly try in the #room-help channel, you’ll get better dedicated support there. Also this is not a room I’m familiar with so it may be older

Yeah I don’t know, but it’s not ringing bells. But we do have more modern evasion rooms so I may have missed it. We do specifically have EDR evasion sorta rooms

[heady stratus]

Ah yes, I should've posted it in there...thank you!

[sinful moon]

Yep, no problem at all!

Chat here can just move a bit fast, just don’t mind waiting a moment, and possibly link the room in question

[heady stratus]

It's part of the Red Teaming learning path btw, if you want to take a look!

[sinful moon]

Ah alright, yeah it was ringing some bells content wise but not room name wise

[molten sky]

if i want to add a 16TB HDD it's only 20/mo

not bad for live storage

[sinful moon]

Indeed, lol you’re looking for full on major duty hosting while I’m mostly doing piddly stuff, but just glad to be hosting some Linux infra at all c:

[molten sky]

bouta buy a 128gb / 2x16TB dedi to host my static Hugo website

[buoyant tree]

heya Ellie

[buoyant tree]

Where the heck can I get that deal

[molten sky]

i can probably rent it to you

meet me behind the corner store with the first month

[buoyant tree]

sure

[molten sky]

hetzer dedi tho

[buoyant tree]

eh then probably not

the reason I even need storage is to access it locally w0 relying on the internet speed

[molten sky]

12TB Exos drives can be found for like 200

whitelabel refirb is cheaper if you wanna buy a bunch and go raid with heavy parity (just in case)

[buoyant tree]

eh Gonna build a server later

until then its up to my rpi 4 dying

with 2 4k streams and 3 1080p streams at the same time

[molten sky]

how tf are you still lvl 1

you've been here ages

[sage wolf]

I mean, they are also other active people, even mods themselves who are not even beyond level 4-5

I guess they just like to chill here while practicing on other platforms lol

[molten sky]

yeah i've been on 9 for like a year now, haven't done anything

i'm just surprised about 1 lol

[sinful moon]

Yeah took me one year 2022-2023 advent of cybers to finally hit max level. I love TryHackMe but it’s tricky when you do this for your job lol

[sinful moon]

Hah replacing Plex host? Yeah I’m sure that Pi 4 isn’t happy. Totally fair!

I can’t speak for your infra or hosting but personally imho direct play is the way. Why transcode anything when modern host can decode just fine

[glossy portal]

Some people like the color I think

[sinful moon]

I miss my red role that matched my avatar nearly perfectly lol

[glossy portal]

oof yeah the theme of your pfp

[sinful moon]

lol it’s fan art of Sophia Hapgood from Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (1992 - DOS)

[glossy portal]

Oh! I watched that as a kid, I don't remember it though...

[sinful moon]

lol it’s a point and click adventure game for PC but yeah it’s great

[glossy portal]

Ah then I guessed the wrong one, wasn't Indiana Jones a movie?

[sinful moon]

Sure is, but they also had LucasFilms Games, later titled LucasArts which was a game dev company

old off CRT shot of the character in her natural habitat lol

Like I said, 1992 lol

[glossy portal]

Looks neat, only 90's game I played and am familiar with is Cadillacs and Dinosaurs

[sinful moon]

Um that’s one of my fave beat’em up games of all time, so no complaints there lol

But there were very many amazing games from the 90s indeed

[glossy portal]

Yep, I had a lot on my PSP, I forgot most of their names though 😆

Oh! Sonic!

There was also mario

[sinful moon]

Nice nice, however I shall be back soon. Gotta run some errands 🙃

Hello, I just recently joined this server and am looking for advice on colleges.
I currently attend Purdue with a major in cybersecurity (which is out of state) and am paying a large sum of money for it. Right now, im contemplating transferring to another university instate and near where I used to live so it is more affordable. I know Purdue has good connections and prestige for STEM and tech, but is it worth the price of Out of state tuition?
I hear that employers tend to not look at your degree (as long as you have one) and tend to look more towards work experience and certs.
If so, what would some of you guys choose where to go?
Thanks

I recently got a new number ok I use my main number to text it to see if it works wasn’t getting anything I send pictures still nothings but I use the new number can send just fine so I randomly get replies from my new number which wasn’t me. Any ideas

My main phone is iPhone and new number is on a s24 ultra

hot

[molten sky]

well, it won't do hkcu in my code tho

it'll iterate over each hku

but that's easier to test with

also need to adapt it to load the reg for users not currently loaded in hku but that's a later problem

[molten sky]

blame micro$oft

[sinful moon]

But realistically that is sane and looks great all things considered

[gray sonnet]

I always do

[molten sky]

feel free to dm if you have any specific questions. might not reply tn cause it's late but i can be more specific there

[buoyant tree]

yea

[sinful moon]

Yeah you’ll notice the first time travel episode lol, they’ve literally been seeing these cameos since the start in the background

[molten sky]

welp broke windows

[buoyant tree]

hmm

gotta keep watching

[sinful moon]

gg, good vibes. Unfortunately easy to do lol

[molten sky]

just an edge prompt

[sinful moon]

Can likely just launch explorer again but lol

[past nebula]

will do, thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @molten sky (current: #102 - 61)

[molten sky]

oh shit i can ctrl alt delete

can open task manager

[sinful moon]

Ctrl Shift Esc

[molten sky]

explorer is just fucked

[sinful moon]

Oh mistread, yep

[molten sky]

no worky

also weird thing

[sinful moon]

you already have it open presumably lol

[molten sky]

if i load a live snapshot while the vm is on it's fine

but if i load a powered off snapshot while the vm is live virt manager dies

[sinful moon]

ooh, snapshots can get weird real quick if you’re not careful

okay virt-manager/libvirt is pretty sane about them, nevermind

[molten sky]

uuggghhhhhhh

[sinful moon]

Not sure I’ve experienced that but kinda does make sense

[molten sky]

my previous hku tweaks are written to just check HKU for valid SIDs and update those, but i guess i'm gonna have to change those to load everyone's NTUSERdat

ngl idek why i did the hku sid route

i knew that was only for logged in people

[sinful moon]

thx Microsoft, registry was such a good idea 🙃

[molten sky]

honestly the registry isn't that bad of an idea -- microsoft just fucked it all up in typical microsoft fashion

[sinful moon]

It’s more like they can suggest standards but no one follows them unless the APIs strictly require it lol

[molten sky]

if by no one you mean themselves then yeah absolutely

[chilly veldt]

Morning

[sinful moon]

like lol even Linux has more of a consensus on ~/.config and etc these days than Windows does

[molten sky]

their entire company is built off of "let's do things in the most incomphrensible and inconsistent ways possible so people can't break out of our ecosystem or remove our telemetry and adware bullshit"

[molten sky]

i hate that that changed

it makes sense

i agree

but i don't like it

[sinful moon]

all in home is gross

I do enjoy it being a bit more clean in those regards

[molten sky]

oh my god i have dotfiles in my home directory i'll never see anyways unless i specifically want to how horrible!

i feel like all i've done on here the last few days is complain, lol

[sinful moon]

lol even if some of mine are legacy ~/.vimrc symbolic link to ~/.config/nvim/init.rc or whatever.

[molten sky]

windows will do that to ya

[sinful moon]

I’m an old geezer and just port my dot files foward forever at this point lol

[molten sky]

yeah i thought you said you port forwarded your dotfiles for a second there

[sinful moon]

nah lol, only minor edits for filename paths

[chilly veldt]

Dotfiles are good

[molten sky]

uuuggghhhh @sinful moon or @chilly veldt write this thing for me

i don't wanna do this anymore

[chilly veldt]

Narh, I just woke up and is on my way to work, I have a while basement to clean

[sinful moon]

But yeah I made begrudging but ultimately rewarding switches on Linux from screen to tmux, vim to nvim, and similar lol

oh urxvt to Alacritty

[chilly veldt]

I was working on an access point yesterday, they only had vi as text editor

Took me 4 hours just to get out of it

[sinful moon]

Yeah you do have to adjust if needed, but even I fumble with pure vi compared to vim at times

har har lol

[chilly veldt]

Jk, the f'er didn't work

[sinful moon]

Typically those will have nano unless it’s a container, then probs no editor at all

[chilly veldt]

It was UniFi

[molten sky]

i just had chatgpt write the code segment for me

[sinful moon]

freaking lol

[molten sky]

we good

[sinful moon]

Yeah I was going to suggest that so, problem solved lol

[chilly veldt]

It was a UniFi access point I SSH'ed into

[molten sky]

also chatgpt LOVES to comment things

like a lot

# this prints hello
Write-Host "hello"

fuck

[sinful moon]

just have fun with ChatGPT hallucinations

I tried to ask ChatGPT who wrote the MS Teams call-in on hold music, made up a name until I pressed it for sources. “Nevermind, MS hasn’t ever said lol”

[molten sky]

i actually noticed something to reduce those

[sinful moon]

very silly trivial thing, but something I was curious about today lol

[molten sky]

i literally just ask it "are you sure" after it's reply and then it corrects whatever issues it had

works every time

[sinful moon]

Yeah I just straight up asked for its sources and it backed off lol

[molten sky]

most times

[sinful moon]

It’s ironically kinda nice, it’s like an Age of Empires II track crossed with IDM (like Tycho, Boards of Canada) and some extra ethnic music vibes lol

https://youtu.be/9fPGkTz13vg

[molten sky]

idr, can you splat piped commands

[sinful moon]

lol never ever had a reason to call into a Teams meeting before today, boss wanted a full recording but meeting fell through

It was actually kind of annoying attempting to research, only answers are how to change this music, not who made it

[molten sky]

ngl i'm pretty damn confused about what you're talking about

wait i can read i think

hold music

for the meeting

i can put things together sometimes

[sinful moon]

Yeah lol, you can do standard teams or call in via a phone number

this is the hold music while you’re waiting for the meeting to start if you choose to call in

default, it’s scriptable and etc, but lol, after waiting for 10 minutes listening just to be sure, I wanted to know who composed the track

Microsoft has never said as far as I can determine

[molten sky]

wat m8

that account's only other message was "m"

[scarlet mantle]

dont click

[molten sky]

ima do it

you can't stop me

[scarlet mantle]

@shell nova

nooooooooo

xd

[sinful moon]

Yeah let’s loop in @shell nova and similar, they may be interested in this script

[molten sky]

part of me is interested but most of me doesn't care enough

[scarlet mantle]

xdd

[sinful moon]

trivial to open in a text editor, some very interesting stuff going on

[molten sky]

you talking a peak?

[sinful moon]

I have, proceed with caution

[molten sky]

ya know what, i may as well grab it as a sample

anything actually interesting tho or boring

[sinful moon]

Since we’re outright discussing it, it is making weird discord API calls right off the bat

[scarlet mantle]

imagine if i was mod and this would never never hapen never

is ok

[molten sky]

odd that it's calling discord. wonder if it's just farming accounts

[scarlet mantle]

soon

[sinful moon]

lol minecraft and backupcodes as api calls in this shitty python framework

[molten sky]

call all the apis! they won't know which one is real!

[sinful moon]

it’s a pretty simple infostealer at first glance

[rapid merlin]

Hey guys wassup

[molten sky]

sry we don't know you

can't talk to strangers

[sinful moon]

lol welcome!

[scarlet mantle]

elizabeth u are sooooo slick!!

[grim sparrow]

:hammer: idontknow2134#0 has been banned.

[molten sky]

hola orange guy

[sinful moon]

Thank you @naive violet

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @naive violet (current: #1 - 2095)

[chilly veldt]

👀👀

[molten sky]

#1?

[naive violet]

Always

[molten sky]

sus

[naive violet]

I used to be super active in the help channels

[sinful moon]

Can’t blame you there, was one of my more rewarding parts of Discord prior to IT job lol

It is fun helping people

[rapid merlin]

Is there someone who'd like to study with me?

[naive violet]

I got tired of people asking for help and then arguing with the help they got

[molten sky]

won't help me tho :/

[sinful moon]

lol, but yeah I will say it’s conditional

[molten sky]

lmao this is way too common

[scarlet mantle]

yes what topic

[sinful moon]

I’ll bring up my classic examples of my Linux tech support “Help how do I install Steam on Kali” and “Help my friend installed apt on Arch to install Kali Tools, why is my OS broken?!?” lol

[rapid merlin]

Cybersecurity, tryhackme

[scarlet mantle]

nice

[molten sky]

this hurts me

[sinful moon]

Yeah I couldn’t believe it the first time I ran into each

first question was extremely common, like, lol you don’t get it kids

second is just… what… nooooo

[molten sky]

argh

you can't load the NTUSERdat if it's already loaded

i have to combine both methods

[sinful moon]

is it running as SYSTEM just out of curosity?

[chilly veldt]

Steam on Kali?

I did that in school

[sinful moon]

oh no lol

[chilly veldt]

We where playing super auto pets

[sinful moon]

it used to be that Kali was root only lol

[molten sky]

just as an admin. it's just an issue that the reg file is already loaded into the reg, so you can't load it twice and you've gotta use the already loaded one

[sinful moon]

so it was even worse

[molten sky]

(not sys)

[molten sky]

rip root-default kali

[sinful moon]

lol more like thank goodness, if only for those sorta folks lol (Kyooty excluded)

Seen way too many just be like “I want Linux and hacker OS”, and just install Kali lol

meanwhile, Kali devs have whole page on why Kali probably isn’t right for you lol (typical Linux use cases)

[chilly veldt]

I have to clean our basement at work today, make sure everything is nice

And in order

[sinful moon]

Good luck, I know that’s often easier said than done

[chilly veldt]

Yeah, my boss got a little disappointed in me cause he has brought it up 8 times and it has just flown by my head

[sinful moon]

Not sure why your boss knows that much about your basement lol, but fair enough.

[chilly veldt]

Basement at work*

[sinful moon]

Ah okay that makes a bit more sense lol

[chilly veldt]

I also wrote that in my first message, you're just tired

Smh

Go to sleep

[sinful moon]

Anyways I gotta tap out. It’s much too late here, but… hey you called it lol

see ya

[chilly veldt]

It's 8 am here, then I know if you're in here it's too late 🤣 cya

[molten sky]

windows gives me a headache

script done

is it gonna work?

let's find out

(it won't)

let the games begin

ugh

90% of it seems to work
