Well it main purpose is to not cause damage
physical security was fun during uni
lol but so many ways it can be cheesed, especially with some hilarious stories. But indeed
Sadly do not have much experience there besides very simple at home testing of devices
it can be a good time killer
if you ctrl-s discord you get the sticker screen
just did my accident
ctrl-g gif
TIL
Always love the story, I think it was the Register, of the on-call tech who had to break into the in-business datacenter who climed through the drop celing and fell in
tf
yeah lol, The Register has a bunch of fun ones
Yeah esp with fire cods and whatnot it's hard if not impossible to truly secure a building, That's why it's so critical that employees are properly trained on security and you have cameras everywhere lol.
For sure, I'd be all about this stuff if I lived even remotely close to where I work lol
the thought of putting a lil delicate black box outside of your building with a master key is not a good one
Yeah when clients tell us where they hide the backup key I cringe every time lol
A skilled locksmith can just look at a key for a few seconds and have a decent chance of reproducing it and if you get close enough you can use impressioning to finsh the job.
Yeah obvs LockPickingLawyer is a great wakeup call on physical security of traditonal locks
if lpl was a wakeup call you should probably check out mcnally
I am obsessed with reproducing keys I like to ask my friends if I can make them a copy of their key on the spot for fun LOL
Looks great, thanks for the recommendation. I sadly have little practical need besides hobbyist interest
Gave +1 Rep to @molten sky (current: #99 - 62)
i pretty frequently find reasons, lol
had this convo with someone just the other day actually, i've even done the stereotypical hit a combo lock with the butt of your gun to open it a few times cause it was easier than a combo
can anyone help me with wpahankshake
😶
Check out #room-help
okk
I love mcnally he is hilarious
He is the chaotic good to LPLs lawfull good LOL
Alright g'night y'all. It's much to late here. Great time as always and I'll see you all soon c:
hush lol exactly same timezone
Clearly Elizabeth is a time travler.
weak
I have 8am start
lol
See you yesterday tomorrow
people should use the word overmorrow most often
based
I just use the exact date.
spotted the latetimezoner
Avoiding confusion and maintaining professionalism.
Its a common word in my native language, 'overmorgen'
German right?
No
You should see my Russian keyboard.
Dutch, but the German word is super similar
dutch is just budget german tho so it's an easy mistake
I mean.
Intriguing.
Yeah p much
no
For instance, German and French do have some similarities, even though they sound quite different. It was a mess to learn coming from Russian and English though.
Swiss - Dutch are more different than German - Dutch
Dialects.
Dutch and German are not different dialects.
yeah idk about the similarity between swiss german and dutch i just meant that as the swiss dialect is special af
Of course they are not.
I can understand Swiss to a relatively big degree.
arabic is just another dialect of spanish
I'm just saying that some regions have vastly different dialects, even though they speak the same language.
another interesting one is Frisian, it floats between Dutch and English and German
You should see how they speak Italian.
anyway I have bosses to defeat. Dolphin, out
Lel. Good luck.
Ty
Agreed.
It took me a while to truly grasp it. My mother tongue is Russian, but when I was learning German and French, it felt like I was battling against a wall.
It didn't make any sense.
But once you truly understand the underlying principles behind why X is structured that way, it gives you a huge edge. For example, French grammar can be quite complex especially certain rules if you tackle them wrongly.
In French, forming adverbs by simply adding -ment to an adjective isn't as straightforward as adding -ly to an adjective in English. Sometimes you can do it, but sometimes you can't. Additionally, there's no direct equivalent to English -ness, which you would attach to an adjective to form a noun. For example, 'ugly' is laid, but 'ugliness' is not *laidité. It's all quite counter-intuitive (doesn't make sense).
Nice
Many nice
and the slash doesn't even make sense
what is this regarding lol
i blame microsoft
😦 💔
i should make some toast
rejected bromance, so sad
knew it
😂
took me a while to remember myself tbh
Can you toast samosas?
idk what a samosa is but probably can toast a samoa
those are good af
best cookie ever
Probably should use the oven to reheat samosas
I ask this out of desperation, trust me, I would if I could
It's either the toaster or it's going on the iron
Idk how a samosa would fit in a toaster
It's experimenting time
air friers make everything good
My next door buddy does but it's too late to go bother him, also I don't know how to use those things
No, you can not
I'll down two raw eggs and call it a night
Gonna try the air fryer tomorrow though
Morning people
TikTok is trying to bring back the Harlem shake 🙈😂
TikTok needs to die.
@graceful thistle does the server have a language filter? can we add "tiktok"?
There's only language filters for words that will get you warned.
I found that out accidnetly describing the automatic ford focus 😂
perfect.
i'm working on that thing that decrapifies windows rn still ------ should i leave the snipping tool in?
i think i should
i left the calculator and Photos
morn
calculator and photos?
Nah, replace it with Share X or Greenshot or something.
ohh
They're much better than snip n sketch.
Greenshot is great
I prefer Share X
interesting option to consider. I wouldn't replace it with things by default but I very well might make that swap an optional one
Well, look like we are at war, Scrubz.
Not really.
Share X wins automaically.
i love how windows still includes the Internet Explorer 11 button but when you click it it's just like ope we're not actually supported anymore oh well gfys
Windows 11 needs to die alongside TickTok.
Productivity - I think thats cos the more... advanced in age... folk see that as the 'Internet button'
Cos they want to use their new, hip logo to represent their product. Also, some legacy systems have sites and web front-ends that only really work in Explorer
then why doesn't explorer start
And if you click on one program and it opens another one - Might be good for the older folk, but the young complainy folk will,,, well, complain
the icon does literally nothing other than tell you "doesn't work anymore, oh well, maybe look for something else in the store or something"
Oh. Last time I used it, it opened up a page that said it wasn't supported anymore.
yeah but that page is a dialogue box now
And yeah, I can see why for people like us it's dumb, but for folk who DO see it as the internet button, they'd be totally lost thinking that the internet is shut
does anybody knows from where can can I master ai tools chat gpt midjourney etc??
University 🙂
See, Thats a key difference 🙂
I learned the cirruculum and studied myself
You learn a lot from being at uni, although they are more... meta-skills
??
Heap.. why are you looking all smartened up, with correct spelling and capital letters?
i learned how to do the bare minimum to pass a class
oh and how to drink more than you can carry
Whats something else than kali linux or ubuntu i should get in virtualbox?
Because I've grown up 🥲
Yup. Netwoeking with peers is a very important skill. Adhereing to deadlines, sticking to a schedule, planning and executing a project.
They will complain either way, as you can see. 😉
Metasploitable:2
Windows to burn
2nd Metasploitable
Windows to burn sounds kinda not smth i should get
could just build out a virtual server if you wanted to
Windows Server, set up an AD on your host.
(if you have the resources)
Could have a pop at Arch :p
you don't want a Windows VM that you can tinker with and just burn to the ground?
Ew
he wants a VM not a war crime
I hate spelling cirrucuclum
hey, I don't like it either, but it will quash all preconcepions
i think i have it
whats AD
TraceLabs VM. I think it's Kali based, but there are loads of OSINT tools on there to play with
Oki
When I type „cirr“ apple suggests „Currywurst“ and I think that‘s better.
Another mistake i made is "learned" instead of "learnt"
You have a Voldemort VM.
learned is correct
Voldemort
but you also use wrong money and units so yeah
no
How many VM's is too many?
over 200 is minimum rach goal
British is the correct English
Bri'ish *
@boreal scarab needs to weigh in
Ello
Pals, back me up
there was an organization called FTK at my uni, for "For The Kids", was a philanthropy---every time i saw the initialism however it always expanded in my head to "Fuck The Kids"
or 'Forensic Toolkit'
^
🤷♂️
Hi bit, long time
"Learnt" is also correct.
phew just got done with a 1.5h intense meeting
Due to the fact that it makes me type a single letter more in specifically the word „color“, I disagree.
it's okay, y'all drive on the correct side of the road tho
Oh hey, it really has been.
How‘s life?
Just received
we normally get MyProtein when it's on sale
High protein peanut butter, huh?
well
sort of
not quite
but sort of
it can be
It literally says „High protein“ on the label.
My life has been messy
but look at the top
Anyways.
Is it good?
And I just ordered this to make it a bit more messy
Btw I got Msft 😄

Hi guys sorry to bother, I found a humble bundle with cybersec books, I really wanted to broaden my horizons in terms of learning cybersec but I'm not sure if these books are any good, is it ok if I link the bundle here?
You got Microsoft? Like, just bought it? Didn‘t know you were rich. 
Just kidding, congrats on the job!!
Betta not be a phisihing site or grabber
Malfoy I had a look at that bundle - It wil depend on your current knowledge
Check out #bookclub ^_^
Oh shoot did not see this channel, thanks!
I was contacted on 6th Feb with final offer leter
But they said they'd revert with a final final offer letter that has the final date on it
all those books aren't really aimed at beginners
I mean... the 'Ghidra Software Reverse Engineering for Beginners' is, but thats a very specific use case 😄
Start points are different
They're for basics in reverse engineering
For that they'd expect you to know assembly at the least
Zactly
Btw you remember that Uni interview I had?
Ok thanks a lot guys, I wanted to buy it with my friend but she's just starting out, I'll look for some other begginer friendly books 😄
I got selected
Gratz! It's all coming up Rinzler so far this year 😄
Apparently they asked very basics of c++
What did they ask?
Yeah, from the link you sent everything was 'Basics of'
I'll try my best to take it to the next level
What is a variable 
Just being 0x9 on here, means you'd already ticked off most of the list
I‘d recommend online content to get into the topics, as it‘s free, mostly.
I'll be 0x10 soon, maybe by tomorrow XD
Also I'm trying to get my rev game up
Be weird to see you not-yellow 😄
Thats what I told her but no, she really wants books 🙄
Malfoy - keep an eye on humble. They have Cybersec books like.. every month
Room's a mess
In that case, it is up to her.
Thats good to know, I mostly bought games from there lol
@glass nest when were we supposed to poke a hole in the balloon?
For brewing? Like... before you put it over the lid. It's just an airlock
Ah
the idea being to let air out, but no nasty things in.
Haha, you're making prison wine. thats fun 😄
It is fun
Well, if it was bubbling, thats a good thing. means it was fermenting
It's something new
Yup I got that down
(it's not wine but it's close)
I'd let it age
It's also why you pour out (and drink) a bunch of the juice before sugar and yeasting it up, to give it room to bubble
I did give it room to bubble
But nowhere for the Co2 to go 😄
Well hey, Making mistakes is how we learn 🙂
Balloons are a good idea tbh, it's just that if my parents would've seen the setup they'd think I have gone crazy XD
Well, talk to @blazing granite about aging. For real, do leave it a day or two after it stops bubbling for the sediment to settle. But remember it is just a bottle of grape juice, it will go bad if you keep it for months 😄
Oooh
Oh yeah, it does have 'Breakng Bad' vibes when you are setting it up all ghetto-like 😄
And the thing is they have seen breaking bad
So It'd be in my best interest to lock my room XD
(And open a window)
Btw I got a new hobby atleast
Got a call at midnight to tell me onw of the network switches in one of the stores has failed.
So now just sat waiting as theres usually no-one in the shop until about 10am-ish
Luckily I have a spare, so I can just swap it out
So you're waiting for the shop to open?
Ello
Mornin bella
Wiatin for someone to be there. Ideally I'll get it all up and running before the shop opens at 11
B to the Ella. Wassup
Ella
Ella, ay ay
I can hear it XD
talking to KyootyBella, bella
Any info on why'd it fail?
Is it a logical error?
High voltage is the culprit!
to be fair, it's been there for like 15 years. It's done its time
I never heard of that before though, but I've only worked with switches in the uni's labs
I am just chilling
That's old
Errrmmm... D-link 24 port gigabit
I am too tired to get that, sorry esqy
nothing special, but it doesnt really need to be
Its fine, Bella, Rinzler understood it
Artist, you are
👀
That's a good one, I've heard they got bad life though
Probably. i think theres a Cisco one in there
but this is one I can reasonably get off-the-shelf, and not pay the premium that Domino's Corporate IT put on spares
Old Cisco switches were heavy and big
It does the job
So... the 'Tank' of switches 😄
I've worked with em, like watching em config themselves
it's .... alarming 😎
Man I still can't make dad jokes
Muffins spelled backwards is the first thing you do when you take them out of the oven.
so I shouldnt mention that 'swims' is the same upside down?
you don't have to.... Tagge-tell-me 😄
User doing admin tasks.
We escalate
I decided to learn meditation. It's better than sitting around doing nothing :p
Now you create case about it, add alarm to the case and logs👀
Thats @sinful moon s image 😄
xD
before i head to the shop, think on this, Rinzler - Would a hippo with one leg be called a Hoppo?
God dang it
Does anyone know how to solve rtwlanu.sys error windows 10 my windows keep restarting
idk what that error is but i have a linux iso that can probably fix it
Did you ask Google?
No. A hippo cannot support itself on one leg, never mind hopping 1,480kg of meat and bone
It could probably still swim or paddle... A paddlopotamus 😛
Have you used a start up repair?
hey, does anyone know what learning path "https://tryhackme.com/room/rpmetasploit" belongs to?
does anyone know any good free networking courses?
I feel this room is old, so it was retired from a path and replaced with new content.
Ok. Thanls. I was organizing my writeups and that room doesn't appear anywhere.
"jeremy it lab" ccna course is available on both YouTube and udemy.
Take the udemy, if you want to clear ccna cert exam.
yea jeremy is good
i will take his and do ccna next month
please can you suggest cheap or free alternatives to real simulation of exam
of the ccna
will check it out, thank you!
Gave +1 Rep to @solar pumice (current: #1319 - 2)
i found this one course offered by cisco
"network technician"
it looks really good, its free too
i think they have a mock test similar to the ccna exam
You need to verify first.
That would be me
Anyone here using a 4K monitor?
I wonder if it's worth buying if I'm not gaming, I've read that 4K is fun to look at even if you're just browsing/studying
You should have equipment that you can afford and that you enjoy having. When I buy hardware it's usually for quality and endurance/long term use
Because it is not a math equation

@tardy oasis hi ayham
Hi Baefell 👋
who here can help me find a room creator
he has been missing for the past 3 years
I am a room creator 🖐️
Darkstar?
im looking for a guy named DesKel
I left like 2y ago
what happened to him?
I have a good memory.
I don't think they were ever active in here.
Welcome back (:
yeah

elaborate
Could have changed name, Could stop doing what they were doing.
Are you looking for anything specific?
Ah, I see.
yeah i was wondering if they could post my writeup in their room, but that seems so insignificant now
never heard from him after he migrated his site since that was a mess to clean up since he had a lot of writeups submitted on thm
wow
Hi, which channel is best for tech questions? e.g. to talk about pivoting and proxying ?
#infosec-general or here
Society
rip deskel
still don't understand
Tell me why would it be the correct one?
Both are different reactions
same reactants why different?
It's not a mathematical formula, it's just a guide in a textbook to explain the absolute basics of photosynthesis
silly question but what type of tool is burpsuite; isit used for scanning vulnerabilities or can they exploited within burpsuite. for example i done the basics on burpsuite and was able to find out the machine was vulnerable to xss but how would this vuln be exploited
You don’t use burp for scanning vulnerabilities
You can use it to find vulnerabilities
maybe i used the wrong word
can they be exploited within?
Yes
Burp provides a lot of tools to exploit specific vulnerabilities
For example repeater
If so, my bad. I didn't see 7H_2O on the reactants
ok i will have a look, thanks
Gave +1 Rep to @mossy river (current: #6 - 1145)
what's the conclusion
I have been summoned?
Guys, I need some advice. I'm going to teach someone programming but I have no idea which language to teach. I was gonna go with C because I feel like it's the best language to teach the basic programming concepts but since C is a bit tough language I was thinking about teaching Java. If I pick Java it will be easier for me to teach OOP straight away as well. What do you think? Which language should I pick? If there's any other language (except python) please tell me.
I'd say it's not incorrect
Haha they noticed the 7H2O and wrote it down on the other side so that one H2O was just unused... That's fair
what's your conclusion
Are you going to take an action depending on our conclusions?
We're not specialized in chemistry
Anyone...?
Yes, I suppose they were too lazy to erase 😂
They balanced the equation alright but probably just made a mistake writing it out the first time. It's not wrong but it's not the exact answer they were looking for
I don't get it
wdym first time?
Lol read what's written in the example and read what's written out in pen
Do they have prior knowledge of programming?
2012 was a much simpler time.

Hi out of curiosity how do you get the certification roles some people have?
You ask mods nicely
thanks 
And we'll generally ask for proof of cert in dms
This is what I would go for:
Absolute beginner -> Python just to get basic ideas of what programming means and acquire basic notions. More complex stuff like memory allocation or will resonate a lot more and be way more approachable if they already have an idea of what programming is.
Else -> Java if you want to teach OOP ; C if you want them to have great fundamentals on what "really happens" on a lower level
I don't disagree with that
I saw your message before "Why is no one helping me", I understand it can be frustrating but you are asking for help to people that don't owe it to you
True dat
Please remember to be patient, we're all people behind the keyboard here and many of us may not know or don't have much time.
And i asked you a question
Heap did ask you a question though
Wassap
Well, this guys is a complete beginner so I was thinking of teaching him python after I teach him Java. Because I've seen newbies get overwhelmed when they start to use a statically typed language after learning python.
Also please read this : https://slash7.com/2006/12/22/vampires/
Just another WordPress weblog
I'd say python first, typing is a different problem but it's easier once you get the basics down
If they are a complete beginner, python is okay to go. The first thing they need to learn is algorithms and they need to get used to the syntax which is why we chose python
And then you can go for low-level stuff. I'd go with C++ for memory stuff and Java for OOP afterwards
Actually, why not ask the learner themselves ? You could have a discussion with them about what their objective is, and if they are ready to have it tougher at the beginning (using Java) in order to understand more deeply what happens
I just miss the clothing styles
Much as I dislike python, it's not a terribly hard language to learn the basics with
If they can grasp pretty quickly, then you might need to feed them more
Bright neon blue hoodie with long emo hair
Setup is easy*
Or bell bottom jeans from someone trying to be the hippest
Isn't that The 90s?
Early 2000s it was still a thing
Not sure if it lasted as late as 2012 tho
Well, the student's interest lie in data science so I was gonna teach him python anyway. I was thinking if I start teaching him Java it'll be easier for him to grab the OOP coding as well because if I teach him python and then switch to Java to teach OOP then he'll have to learn the Java basics as well. I don't want to overwhelm him with the hard stuff starightaway. What's your opinion on that?
Extremely sorry
Python for basic algorithms, java for oop algos and sructures
by basic algorithms you mean...?
Once you get the basics down they're mostly the same everywhere
Python is terrible at oop though
Yeah but its only to grasp the concept
Sure
That's one reason I didn't want to start with python.
But in the end they're going to work with python even for that isn't it ?
yh
Maybe I'm wrong, I didn't work in the field
Start with procedural code
Then jump right into functional programing with scala
that's where the recursive fun begins
I wouldn't wish scala on anyone
man...
what's scala
its beautiful
At least go for kotlin first
Yes, that's why I'm asking which language. I learned from C. But C is tough for newbies as it was for me.
Python is fine
Scala is mean and has lots of implicit magic
When I was 14 I bought a book to learn C, it was one of my first programming languages... I ended up stopping halfway through, they wanted to use a graphic interface and shit
It was really a pain
GM all, when will the event from yesterday be posted and available to consume? Contents for days!
Let's keep python aside because I'm teaching python anyway. What language should I use to teach the basics, procedural stuff and OOP?
I was thinking Java.
Python for the basics and procedural code, java for oop
Don't complicate thinga
I said python aside
I started with C++. It was not that hard. And I began to go deeper and deeper. Now i have strong fundamentals on how memory and stuff works. Beneficial for reverse engineering.
You just don't like the answers you're getting
Memory management confuses 2 in 3
defienetly not JS
true
Right
Don't complicate your life
Stick with python, there are some sites to practice on in the pins in #programming
If you watch stuff all day, you're not doing anything but memorize stuff
that's out of question but yes, true
It sort of was the question
¯_(ツ)_/¯
No, I was asking for a 1st time learner language. Not what must be done
TendoRonin, you really have all you need to answer your question. Now you need to think long and hard
Seems like you don't want our help as you already have an opinion and merely want confirmation
Python.
Then Java for the oop stuff
Functional programming is a different beast
yeah I was not being serious
Yes, I don't want to ruin this guy by teaching him the hard stuff. But programming does get hard, so I don't want to lie to him by teaching him the easy stuff.
I gathered 😉
That's why I never suggested Clojure
Highly depends on the person though
Start with the easy stuff, everything else builds on that
Start with the easy stuff, give him a sneek peak on the hard stuff, motivate him, teach him with the best I got. That's the plan. How is it?
Start small, introduce new concepts gradually
At the end of the day, the language doesn't matter
Teach concepts, not languages
yh, maybe I over thought it
Can I properly give the concepts with python though? Specially data structures and stuff
Man, teaching is tough
Then you end up with encapsulation, coupling, etc
Try to find a copy of the gang of four
Ancient, yet foundational text
I'm getting ahead of myself though
I just want to introduce this guy into programming, that's it
It is.. And It's not for everyone
Basic procedural stuff
Implement fizzbuzz
Though not the enterprise version....
Basically, solve basic problems
What if I teach Java and Python together. Then I'll be able to show the difference between statically and dynamically typed languages.
Introduce basic structures: trees, lists, maps
No, don't do that
Typing inst important yet
They might confuse things
Foundations first, then specifics
Typing is a language thing
It'll come naturally, especially with oop
hey is it possible to wpa handkshake mobile hotspot
So basics with python, OOP with Java, fill the blanks with theories.
Possible to do what?
like to crack mobile hotspot password
Focus on theory and use the practice to confirm
Sure I guess,
@shell nova so this way is fine?
Don't do it though
Focus on the theory and use the practice to show the thoery
I've been working on Try Hack Me for around a month now, and I would like to have your opinion on something. Computer security is a never ending learning process, that requires both conceptual understanding of what is going on, and great technical mastery of your tools and a plethora of environments. Have you guys ever gotten frustrated by how little details can ruin the whole thing ?
A few years ago, I was trying to exploit a .htaccess misconfiguration vulnerability on w3challs. I didn't know about burpsuit and I wrote the HTTP request. It didn't work for days, during which I looked at the RFC and other ressources, only to find that it was because a request like this had to be closed with 2 CRLF.
On Tuesday, I spent time on an easy box and I couldn't use the hashdump function of meterpreter because of the shell type. So I tried to change shell, different ways, and when I watched the write ups they just used another tool.
What I like is understanding. I like when things are neat and abstract, I read some documentation by microsoft recently and it was so clean (You will find an example attached). Do you guys ever experienced the same thing ? Do you have any idea of how to reconciliate the fact that I'm more comfortable with abstraction and cybersecurity ?
Basically you can never do cybersecurity in you head and expect it to work perfectly. You have to get your hands dirty
Gosh
So, teach basic concept and theories using python practicals, OOP with Java
Short answer, all the time
Yeah
Until you reach the limits of python 😉
short follow up question, how do you cope ?
Thanks @shell nova for the advice. And sorry for being so toxic.
Gave +1 Rep to @shell nova (current: #12 - 540)
Lots of searching, head bashing and determination to get the damn thing working
I had a hard time figuring out Shaker to get the escape working
Took literal days of research, as it's something that was sort of done before but never in that context
But if that's the job, how can it be pleasant ?
Maybe the lack of pressure (if these are just "challenges" in your situation) allows it to be enjoyable
like a riddle of some sort
It obviously depends a lot on every profile
Yeah, depends on the person's likes
I do like learning complex stuff
And these challenges are likely to be normal to me
Pretty much
I enjoy puzzles though
This is why this field is hard
But I'm also a bit odd
But i think it happens in programming too? I guess
All the time

I swear these were used to win the Great Northern War
Nah, nixie tubes are older than me
I don't understand people my generation and younger who choose nicotine; but I'm proud of you, or anyone, who makes the choice to give it up or curb their usage.
Plan is to lose 20kg in a few months
I thought you were proud of ones who choose nicotine at first 😂
A lot of it is influence from media.
Generations before got it from the war, we’re fighting a different type of war; Influencers
YOU GOT THIS!
Done it before, it's easy enough
There’s actually a fair few of people who quit smoking for a few months, relapse and realise how bad it tastes then quit permanently hah
(also lot a lot more before, but we don't talk about that period)
So many people vape in my year, its depressing
can't even go to the toilet without coughing
Don't let social media control your decisions
You should do THIS in your life. (I got hacked)
That's pretty sad
Whahaha
O
WHY
Could be better, could be worse
Why bro?
What is that
Mercury arc valve rectifiers
whitenames in general chat always deliver
What does it do
it's old school AC to DC converter
Wow
💀
AC/DC
hellbell
yea
A mercury-arc valve or mercury-vapor rectifier or (UK) mercury-arc rectifier is a type of electrical rectifier used for converting high-voltage or high-current alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). It is a type of cold cathode gas-filled tube, but is unusual in that the cathode, instead of being solid, is made from a pool of liquid ...
it was used in time when was battle from AC vs DC
So my leaded glass CRT monitors and televisions, could have also been made to user Mercury if someone had wanted to engineer such?
Some part of me that is attuned to the macabre wants this double dose of heavy metal television.
My OpenVPN stopped working, even after regenerating and reinstalling the connection file.
Anyone else have the same issue? Works from Attackbox
You've been back for how long? And you still haven't verified? 
Are you connecting the VPN from within the VM or on the host?
Maybe they're not staying/Deleted their account
Tested from a VM, WSL and just general ping and doesnot work sadly
Which WIndows app are you using?
Use the cli?
From within wsl
Or within the vm
any threat intel gurus here?
WSL has some networking issues.
sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf
Change the name server yo like 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8, or 9.9.9.9 for example.
I also suggest NOT using the WSL in Turn Windows Features On or Off, but getting WSL from the Microsoft Store App. (Benefit of that is SystemD works there, not in the features one)
How long have you been here 
Just ask lol
it wont b aloud
So why are you asking? 😂
cuz i asked if anyone knows threat intel
@idle arrow for your WSL
I am trying to get this to work as I want to fix the issue permanently, but have this sadly. Not it does nopt even connect anymore. Brand new file has been generated
Which GUI app are you using?
can i ask about inital access vulns here
OpenVPN Connect and just updated to version 3.4.3 (3337)
Use the communites version.
Do you have a link? As this worked perfectly fine until now
My Eaton UPS is on it's way, 128 GB more Ram is also on its way.
if ur using wsl why not install via package manager?
I am not only using WSL, but some VMs as well and jump around
this works for me
https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/OpenvpnSoftwareRepos
on the same way as the server 😉 😂
VM should be straight forward.
Keep on NAT network, download your OVPN profile from THM, run sudo openvpn (usernamehere).ovpn
Stonks
Just don't use EU 3
(If that hasn't been fixed)
Bridged/Nat makes no difference.
gives u diff ip im p sure
Yah, but who'd want to see like 50 VM's on their own network? 
It won't effect the VPN from working or not.
Networking is mostly resolved with the mirroring mode
Gives you it's own IP because it's essentually seen as a different device.
cough docker cough
containers not vms but
This seems to fix the issue for now, but what chnaged?
Versions probably
That is sad, that this is not a plug and play anymore.
Things change.
🤷♂️
All I know is changing the nameserver from 172 whatever to 9.9.9.9 allows me to fetch updates and installs much faster
Also this only allows mne to import one profile at a time
Than a snails pace
Yeah I have 1.1.1.1
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I quite like Quad 9 IMO
Haven't had too many issues, but it's a moot point as I've mostly migrated away from windows
is any one doing Operating System Security
WSL1 shouldn't have issues, WSL2 has network issues, Features WSL has SystemD issues, can't remember if it also has nameserver issues or if that's just the Windows Store WSL version
Used to be non free no?
in what sense
That one I don't know, when I started using it I had no issues
like on TryHackMe
ah #room-help if u need a hand with that
Best part bout Quad 9? Switzerland!
Hmm
cop a watch and dodge tax!
did the Splunk 101 room and had to use my linux terminal skills to answer the questions, could not find a way to answer using splunk
Is it actually any good?
time for nerdy fact: the model m keyboards are still being made in new versions with usb support and you can buy them if you want one
#room-help will help you here 🙂
finished the room
Oh yah, my network runs through Quad 9 DNS from WAN to LAN level.
Even my PiHole uses Quad9 as a DNS resolver
Might give it a go sometime soon
laughs in using nextdns
Hell, even my server goes through Quad9
but yeah quad9 is regarded as trustworthy
laughs in freeing up my rasp pi PiHole to my TrueNAS
nextdns means no need for vpn:ing into home network or using portforwarding to access dns content blocking

I connected my tablet to the mac as a 2nd monitor
Now I can look at discord and code at the same time
Why not just discord on the tablet?
I do cast other stuff as well
Bard is now Gemini LLM
Gemini power 😂
🦖
im ok. enjoying the world of Bash
paid for a Bash book which i now realized was stupid to buy, the docs are free haha
the docs are actually readable and have some examples
you holding up? 🍹 ?
it can be worse, looking if I can go to Argentina for my month birthday, money issues
yea, too bad you can't FTP yourself there or sudo apt install_money
that would be ideal 😂
@blazing granite you're here! I need a white wine, we're using it for a beer broccoli cheese soup
Got any ideas?

+rep @blazing granite Thank you so much for helping me!
Gave +1 Rep to @blazing granite (current: #153 - 40)
Hmm, who manages quad9? (NGO/NFP?)
Is it housed in a mountain bunker?

This new discord update man, how do I search for a specific persons media they’ve posted
My media by the way not someone else’s lmao
huh
On mobile?
Yes
The old search filters are still there, you just have to click the icon top right
Or search the user, then click "Media"
Thank you a lot, I was confused with it
wwhat do yall use to make port fowarding safer?
Hmmmm, should I go and do karaoke tonight?
yes, and yes
Hmmm
Quad9 is a global public recursive DNS resolver that aims to protect users from malware and phishing. Quad9 is operated by the Quad9 Foundation, a Swiss public-benefit, not-for-profit foundation with the purpose of improving the privacy and cybersecurity of Internet users, headquartered in Zürich. Quad9 is entirely subject to Swiss privacy law, ...
hmm indeed... but go
that's a rhetorical question 😉
It is, cause I just sat down in my car waiting for it to heat so I can drive to karaoke
it is rhetorical because it's always karaoke time 😂
@boreal scarab just bought 30tb of disks
I'm keeping 15
Wanna give me the other 15? 👀
Shipping would kill the deal, and my colleague has spoken for them already hehe
Lmao
Any plans for the rest of that space? Are they in a server, or somehow setting it up in a desktop?
They'll be server
In todays funny issues: accidentally added a – to a markdown table instead of only -, guess how long it took me to figure out why my tables did not render correctly.
And no, I already have a nas. Just wanted 4 drives for a raid
I still gotta get some more drives for my server, right now I'm sitting at 5 TB, already used 10% of space. Do I need it? Not really. Would I like it. Absolutely
Wait, berrise name update?
Yah, Fluff changed me to cultist, I changed it to clanist lol
I see, I see. 
Standing at the bus stop and someone in a BMW purposely speeds up and swerves into the puddle in front of it
I am the master of reactions so I turned 180 so it only hit my back but my friend was drenched 🤣
My road was flooded once and I had the exact same thing happen except I was right next to it, and my reaction times weren't as good 😭
I heard their engine accelerate so I knew what was coming
I’m also on 340mg of caffeine so I am processing at 8x the normal rate
The video is hillarious, because I was recording it the whole time and it cuts of right when I'm about to get splashed
@naive violet whatcha plans for that server? Just a simple NAS?
It's just drives for my VM server
Ah
@mossy river
Ahahah, documented a murder
got my hoodie all drenched 😠
oh nyo do have his licence plate ?
lol nah its alright anyway, found it quite funny
i had that ones was not funny to me...
did u get thier licence plate
Sheesh. Entirely drenched
no back then i did not know you could get them for it if they did it on purpose
Nahh, come on. With scalability and a nicely organised rack, you should be fine using what you got + incrementally adding 3TB when it gets full
Easy as plugging a wire or two and sliding it in
That reminds me, I'm sitting at 3.8 of 4TB used on my main device so I probably need to find me another SSD sometime soon
Why aint this working im using msfconsole in thm source challenge
try use more user.txt
If I went around reporting BMW drivers, I wouldn’t have time for Uni or Work
I once had a BMW driver run me off the road in a 2 lane turning lane
Oh you bet your ass I laid on my horn for a good while
@main kraken cat /home/dark/user.txt
@wraith fjord long time no see?
@boreal scarab just changed the 10g card in my desktop and now my boot times are miles better lol
Network boot?
Nope
Hello, yes its been a while. How are you? Hows life?
Bios/boot time from the option rom that you couldn't disable or even see
Ooooooooh
Nice!
I'm good thanks, staying busy which is how I like to be
Gave +1 Rep to @wraith fjord (current: #123 - 50)
Hey
true that
Should I port foward all my services or just get openvpn and then connect to my home network
thinking about what would be more secure
cloudflare tunnels ftw
wtf? lol
^?
maybe it got hacked and used for malicious?
it was a page with a single h1 saying Coming soon
.com
maybe fQDN was used for something prior
The only thing Cloudflare tunnel doesn't support is UDP - I had to get a reverse UDP tunnel to my external VPS when trying to setup a game server
