[forest crater]

somebody knows why my exe doesn't contain code cave? i guess the prob is my compiler

[bold dawn]

We have 3 agents installed for remote support. In this case, I used Connetwise Screen Connect

they have a mobile app that allows you to remote in and control it from there

[rapid merlin]

Ahh

[rapid merlin]

seems pretty good

[devout palm]

GodMode

Loving the accurate and professional redaction 😄

[bold dawn]

thank you kind sir!

lol

[devout palm]

Why don't you use RD Client app

By Microsoft

[bold dawn]

This doesn’t work in sessions, it works as if you were at the computer itself

RDP creates a user session, and has caused us issues when remoting into some servers

usually older servers

[devout palm]

How do you connect to the server then

without a user

[bold dawn]

Nonono

[rapid merlin]

You get to the login screen

[bold dawn]

RDP creates a session per remoted in device

[devout palm]

Oh yea

[bold dawn]

so multiple people can use it

this is almost like anydesk, or teamviewer

[rapid merlin]

It is a screen capture

[bold dawn]

but we have the ability to get in at any time

[devout palm]

Because it is a server

Not when you spill the coffee on the cables

[bold dawn]

my wife was sleeping on me while I was working on it lol

that’s why I used my phone and didn’t go grab my laptop

[rapid merlin]

andd how do you use the keyboard?

[devout palm]

this

[bold dawn]

see the keyboard button in the

yeah

top right

[rapid merlin]

ah

that doesnt type comfortable right?

[devout palm]

so what was the issue? if you are allowed to say that

[bold dawn]

I mean, no different than texting

[bold dawn]

Server rebooted itself. It was a HyperV server

I just made sure it was online, will dig into it more when I get to work this morning

[rapid merlin]

Can you see what you are typing?

[bold dawn]

[rapid merlin]

Oh wait it is still night?

[rapid merlin]

i’m at the gym right now

[rapid merlin]

In UK to 'pull' means to successfully hit on someone you are attracted to

Further if it has his telescopic setup.

lasers in general though, not nearly as friendly and safe as people seem to think

a large amount of the "sold as eye safe, <5mW" lasers are way more powerful than they should be

[crude stump]

Lasers in general are scary

Well, I find football boring. The exciting things happen in front of the goals, but theres a huge field between them. Hockey is like mostly on the goal-lines

The have a "creation fee"

[glass nest]

Usually they have a $£0 joining fee offer. Just ask when the next offer for that is.

And that you'll give them a call then.

Does your uni not have a fitness centre?

[chilly veldt]

You think I go to uni?

[glass nest]

or school, whatever 😄

[chilly veldt]

Yeah, school doesn't

[glass nest]

Whats your thing? Cardio, Strength, Yoga, classes?

[chilly veldt]

I might just go over there physically and ask them about signing in

[glass nest]

Physically? But that means leaving the house and maybe having your car locked into places again

[chilly veldt]

They can probably wave it at the store

[chilly veldt]

Or just walk over to the other side of the road

[glass nest]

@polar spoke Is that recommended?

[polar spoke]

cardio is rarely a bad thing 🙂

[glass nest]

More about the road...

[chilly veldt]

There's also another gym not so far away from here either, but I would rather the one closest, just don't feel like paying the creation fee

[glass nest]

Do ask about the offer. Gyms usually get a surge of joins in January, and they peter off after valentines.

[devout palm]

Why did the chicken cross the road?

[glass nest]

He won't tell us, Heap!

[devout palm]

your accomplice?

[chilly veldt]

But yeah, my plan is to lose 1kg a week, so working out is on the drawing board

[glass nest]

This lot are just high spirited. Friday and work is nearly over

[plush mesa]

thats completely normal

its a scam but its normal

[glass nest]

Good plan, Bella. Remember - Lose weight in the kitchen, gain muscle in the Gym.

[wild rose]

just started working, but no meetings today, so I'm happy here.

[shell nova]

/shrug shouldn't be normal

[devout palm]

How would you lose weight in the kitchen when you're trying every ingredient before putting it in?

[chilly veldt]

Yeah, but still, don't feel like paying it, especially when there's a different gym 10 min walking distance without it

[glass nest]

Say that to them 😄

[plush mesa]

understandable

[languid coyote]

so in my someone made a confession acc on insta and they are harassing and its a private account so how do i get it down

[glass nest]

Ooh, thats not the help we give

[chilly veldt]

You ask Instagram

[wild rose]

Get your steps in. I know it's hard some days, when you sit infront of a computer all day.

[glass nest]

Report it to responsible adults and report it to IG

[devout palm]

Report

Tomorrow is a big day, amiright?

[languid coyote]

its a private account cant just down it

[glass nest]

Anything else would be against the law

IG can. If you report it for harrassing and bullying

[devout palm]

You can report private accounts too

Booting up a computer?

[languid coyote]

i tried but its no going down bro reported it from 5 to 6 accounts

[plush mesa]

its always instagram, everytime i look in this chat someone needs access to an instagram account. Maybe I just got bad timing

[devout palm]

Nothing we can do then

[glass nest]

Yes.. that does seem convenient... suspiciously soo.. LeePha...

Ragnar - Just to break this down - You've come on here to ask people who are learning about Ethical hacking, to take down a social media account on one of the biggest social media sites in the world. That would be illegal, and even if it wasnt, it would be VERY hard to do. the admins at Instagram take a hard line on bullying.

So to prevent any mod action happening at you: no-one here will help you do that, regardless of your story. This isn't a hacking army. So maybe don't ask again, as if a mod sees it they might be less than happy.

[languid coyote]

alright thanks

[glass nest]

No worries. If you wish to learn about ethical hacking however - We are all about that 🙂

[split compass]

Nearly over? Work has just begun!
I should move East.
Just perpetually East, never stop moving so I start work at 9, work for 4 hours, and its already 18 and time to clock out 😄

[glass nest]

If you keep on the move, you can celebrate multiple New Years...

although that would be west.. right?

[iron dagger]

Is todays room for free?

[loud marlin]

@glass nest
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoyOaSoiqX0 this is how rust is removed 🙂

[near hawk]

I think Friday is challenge room, so might be?

[sick lance]

Yes

[iron dagger]

Yeap

[sick lance]

Well, might not be free

[glass nest]

thats some ASMR stuff

[sick lance]

It could be a sub room.

Dill definetly be a challenge room

[loud marlin]

nah... bit sound but not asmr... at last not planed

[glass nest]

more the visual

[loud marlin]

ah that... yea

[glass nest]

Like.. powerwashing a driveway

[iron dagger]

So it's unknown for now?

[sick lance]

Won't know until 1 hour 50 min(s)

[loud marlin]

yea... and camera cant even record laser as is

[near hawk]

last challenge sub room was a month ago so could be but will have to wait for another 2 hours

[iron dagger]

Cool

[glass nest]

You could social engineer it from TimT or Lorastil

But they tend to be immune to that

[sick lance]

I don't think Loras has a say on room release.

[glass nest]

I can't remember who make the announcement and too lazy to check

[loud marlin]

tim

[sick lance]

I think Room release is QA.

And Loras is the CM

[glass nest]

Quail Aviary and Coconut Mojito?

Sounds right.

[near hawk]

5K more and we at 40k

[sick lance]

One thing I don't use is Reddit.

[near hawk]

Yea, everyone pretty much uses discord

[rapid merlin]

Everyone on reddit is unhinged.

[sick lance]

I didn't mean just for THM, I don't use Reddit at all.

[serene canyon]

[wild rose]

OG reddit was nice, but now it's all AITA and other random stuff.

[desert shuttle]

Any recent interesting news?

[glass nest]

nothing Tomato-based

[rapid merlin]

Bunch of elitist who don't know much but pretend to know it all nowadays.

[sick lance]

https://news.sky.com/story/concerns-raised-over-tesla-drivers-using-vr-headsets-13065155

[desert shuttle]

I have been seeing all the videos of this being used outside in normal life lol

[wild rose]

it's crazy how people don't think that real-time lag isn't a thing when driving a car with a VR headset.

[near hawk]

I don't see big hype about it, pretty cool but gonna cause so many accidents

[sick lance]

People can't drive as it is.

[loud marlin]

^^natural selection

[rapid merlin]

Using a VR headset to drive a car is a problematic idea by itself.

[rapid merlin]

Arguments lose their effectiveness when innocent people die for no reason.

[glass nest]

I know! Can't drive more than a couple of feet from my PC 😄

[loud marlin]

tru tru

[near hawk]

Won't be long before they get banned from using them to drive

[desert shuttle]

Has anyone here made that purchase to test one out?

[near hawk]

I know Massachusetts already trying to ban people from using it when driving

[sand trench]

why is it always tesla drivers that do this bat shit meep moop crazy stuffs

[rapid merlin]

The pattern is similar with Tesla's Autopilot system; people kept complaining about it for months, then they shifted their focus to something else, as usual.

People just like drama.

[desert shuttle]

We are tomatoes after all

[glass nest]

DRAMA?!? how dare you say that!

[rapid merlin]

My mistake, it's easy to forget the expected behavior sometimes.

[glass nest]

Haha

[rapid merlin]

It seems like all the news have gone rogue these days. Everything feels so emotional and politically charged.

[devout palm]

Beans and toasts

[grizzled wing]

apples + peanut butter

[rapid merlin]

In theory.

[wild rose]

speaking about "news", if anyone knows who's running the Hive ransomware group, the U.S. State Dept is offering $10M for info.

[glass nest]

Not heard of them

[rapid merlin]

The US Secret Service has a wanted list filed with people like that, but in reality, no one is getting that $10 million since it isn't going to be claimed by anyone. It's simply a ploy to indirectly nudge legislation forward, particularly in areas concerning ransomware and related matters.

[glass nest]

but thats a soilid bounty

[near hawk]

they would also tax you half of it

[rapid merlin]

The process to actually become eligible for that $10 million upon arrest is so convoluted that there's a 100% chance of some error rendering you ineligible due to technicalities.

[rapid merlin]

That too.

[wild rose]

the IRS would tax you on that xD

[glass nest]

shrug.

Ok, Take half. More'n happy with 5 million bucks

[rapid merlin]

Assuming it's even possible to redeem it. Some folks are more frightened of the IRS than they are of regular law enforcement agencies.

If they catch wind of even a hint of tax fraud, they won't leave you alone until every last dime is paid.

[glass nest]

So Pay it. You have 10million.

Not like they'll take it all.

[rapid merlin]

With about 50% going towards taxes in that situation, there are definitely better ways to make/save money (legally).

[glass nest]

Not to make 5 million in one fell swoop

[rapid merlin]

In theory, that might sound good, but it's never going to happen.

[glass nest]

not with that attitude it wont 😄

the idea is to get one of them to come forward and snitch.

[rapid merlin]

Do you seriously believe you'd receive the full $10 million reward, pre-tax, for apprehending someone on the US Secret Service wanted list? Especially if they're located in countries with high political tensions? The mere notion of apprehending such an individual is far-fetched. Plus, you'd inevitably get tangled up in politics and other complexities.

[rapid merlin]

Never going to happen, especially if they risk life-imprisonment for the main part.

[wild rose]

I've been following an AI bot that follows the stock trades of U.S. Congress, so far oil, gas, and tech trades have made the most money.

[glass nest]

Nope. But i'd be more than happy with 1 million if all that stuff took 9. beforehand, I didn't have that

[rapid merlin]

Generally, something like investing in the S&P 500 is a pretty reliable option. So yes.

[rapid merlin]

That line of reasoning suggests you'd settle for anything as long as you're making more than before.

Which is inherently flawed in itself.

[wild rose]

always think positive vibes

[glass nest]

shrug. they've made the amount really high.

Not 'settle for anything', but if the amount out the other side is life-changing, it doesnt matter what they offer.

[rapid merlin]

Of course, it matters. If you're putting your life on the line for that kind of money, you better get a fair deal.

[glass nest]

Hence 'life-changing'

[rapid merlin]

Anyway, I prefer making the kind of money that doesn't put you on any radars.

You even get taxed less.

[glass nest]

Shrug.

[scarlet mantle]

i agre with the x500

[glass nest]

But yeah, always better to stay safe

[scarlet mantle]

didnt finish reading ill get back to u

[rapid merlin]

Flagging yourself can lead to all sorts of trouble.

It's a mess to deal with.

It's interesting to think about though.

[glass nest]

Of course. If thats where the deal goes. but still, getting 5million would be nice

[rapid merlin]

The same thing can be said for bug bounties. While many see the rewards, in reality, it's often a messy process.

It's actually bad in many cases.

Making it borderline not worth it at all, aside from the experience gained, especially considering that companies profit too much from bug bounties while offering too little reward on the personal side of things.

[wild rose]

There is always risk when it comes to reward. It depends on your outlook in life.

[rapid merlin]

I like risks.

That's what makes life interesting.

[wild rose]

10M can make it more interesting.

[glass nest]

Well, 5M after taxes :p

[rapid merlin]

If you're savvy, there are smarter ways to achieve your goals, especially in the long run.

[glass nest]

Thats the key. I'm in no way savvy 😄

[wild rose]

Either way, I don't know any of them from Hive, but if anyone does know them, can I be your friend?

[rapid merlin]

Being creative and having lateral thinking can definitely help you in that case.

[glass nest]

Haha

[rapid merlin]

You will probably end up like them indirectly just to get close.

Hi

[cerulean marsh]

Is there any official IRC server of TryHackMe ?

[glass nest]

IRC? Damn, you old 😄

[cerulean marsh]

Yes actually

I am old guy

[glass nest]

Me too 🙂

I missed out on BBS's by a few years :p

[buoyant tree]

I think there may be one that's made by Esqy especially

[glass nest]

then was all about Mirc

I think last IRC I was active on was back when I was into HAK5

when it was HAK.5

[cerulean marsh]

Time flies :((

Life was better before computers

[glass nest]

Oh, I dunno about that. certainly different

[chilly veldt]

Lel, it's been 9 days of this month and I have already used 35gb data on my phone

[cerulean marsh]

Mobile data is currently free where i live 😉

[buoyant tree]

where do you even live

[chilly veldt]

Same here😉

That's why I use it for my laptop too

[wild rose]

Bella is downloading the entirety of the Internet

[cerulean marsh]

🌍

[glass nest]

after she downloads more RAM of course.

[buoyant tree]

hmm, nice

whats the speed

[cerulean marsh]

Around 450 mbps

[buoyant tree]

Nice daymn

[cerulean marsh]

If i remember are you that same guy whom i gave THM swag vouchers ?

I think you deleted ur old acc

[buoyant tree]

perhaps

I didn't get a chance to use it tho

[cerulean marsh]

You are from Pakistan right ?

[buoyant tree]

[cerulean marsh]

Yup i remember you

[rapid merlin]

I wish.

[buoyant tree]

yea although atm doing something stupid

removing sudo password restrictions

[cerulean marsh]

There is one on liberachat but i think its not official

[cerulean marsh]

[buoyant tree]

hmm good idea

[cerulean marsh]

Running as root is always bad idea unless you are downloading Nvidia drivers lol

[rapid merlin]

It's probably not official. IRC is very nice in many ways. Although I didn't grow up using it. On the other hand, I really like the old-fashioned forums, they're much purer.

[buoyant tree]

and lemme make the root password be Password123@

can u change root login?

u can

sudo -i passwd?

oki ima try

[cerulean marsh]

True that's why i prefer more of old school plain html sites for learning . For linux i personally recommend this site to everyone - https://linux.die.net

[rapid merlin]

It's much easier to learn and straight to the source.

[main kraken]

mine didnt change

[cerulean marsh]

Yeah

[main kraken]

yea

tea

[buoyant tree]

The default SSH configuration forbids root logins. If you really want to allow it, change #PermitRootLogin no to PermitRootLogin yes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. If you really want to do that, my recommendation would be to at least disable password authentication (so, require a valid key).May 5, 2023

also something to keep in mind

[potent grove]

hello

[cerulean marsh]

Hi

[potent grove]

what are you doing guys

i am bored

[cerulean marsh]

Solving some challenges on pwn college , quite fun actually

[potent grove]

pwn college?

[blazing granite]

Actually Discord it's kind of the grandson of IRC 😂 I remember IRC I used to hang on undernet server 🙂

[cerulean marsh]

Yeah it's amazing platform for linux binary exploitation and overall cyber security

[potent grove]

thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @cerulean marsh (current: #244 - 20)

[potent grove]

i was not aware

[split compass]

IRC is a fantastic medium for Internet coughC2cough communications.

[cerulean marsh]

Totally open source and free

[cerulean marsh]

https://pwn.college

[rapid merlin]

I do notice some similarities, but Discord doesn't give off that hacker/professional feeling, if you know what I mean.

[split compass]

find me on irc.2600.net 😉

[rapid merlin]

I haven't used IRC in a long time.

Nostalgia I guess.

[blazing granite]

alt.hacker on usenet 😉

[blazing granite]

bitchX FTW 🙂 I love IRC, but I haven't use it for a long time, I used to be very active on undernet, I was mod in a channel there

[potent grove]

people said mac was trash but its working fantastic even vms is working smoothly

and i can do my work without vms also

[rapid merlin]

That's interesting. The only time I ever became a moderator was on a reverse engineering forum. Luckily, it was all online, so they couldn't see that a 12-year-old was a mod.

I am a pretty bad moderator though.

I only step in when things get really, really bad, which has only happened once. I only banned one person, and it was by mistake.

[brittle garnet]

good evening everybody

[rapid merlin]

Hi.

[grizzled wing]

nice 🦜

[potent grove]

good evening

[forest mortar]

Oh darn I missed the IRC conversation

I miss IRC

[blazing granite]

I worked on online compliance, tech/customer support and mod for a webcaming plataform too, so many stories 🙂

🥦

[grizzled wing]

🦖

[potent grove]

waht is this irc guys

[rapid merlin]

Personally, I can't do that. Knowing I'm very chaotic myself.

[rapid merlin]

Internet Relay Chat.

[molten sky]

irc > discord

[forest mortar]

Internet Relay Chat, old school chat rooms

[molten sky]

still use it actually

[forest mortar]

I'm inclined to agree but I have grown very fond of the custom emojis lmao

[potent grove]

oh ok lol

[blazing granite]

it's not for everybody very messy job 😂

[rapid merlin]

It was much much better.

[brittle garnet]

is there anything that makes irc special?

[rapid merlin]

I can definitely imagine.

[rapid merlin]

Many things.

[molten sky]

discord several years ago i could agree, now they just over complicate things and make unnecessary changes every three months

the mobile app now is horrid

the desktop app has everything in weird places

[rapid merlin]

Well, you also have to consider the context, but conversations back then were much more genuine.

It was genuinely way cleaner.

[molten sky]

agree with both ^

[forest mortar]

Well... that really depends on what IRC rooms you were in

[rapid merlin]

The emails from Discord can be quite embarrassing, though.

[rapid merlin]

Of course but anything true IT related, much cleaner.

[molten sky]

it was an open protocol too, you didn't need specific proprietary clients for anything

[forest mortar]

Super easy to make bots for too

[rapid merlin]

Yes, I agree.

[rapid merlin]

Good old spamming, I remember people abuse that.

[molten sky]

you get emails from them?

[rapid merlin]

If you do a password reset or change your username for example, they send you these weird emails with strange language that basically makes you cringe.

[molten sky]

ahh yeah those are always weird

trying to be relateable

[forest mortar]

Ah yes, the uwu-ification of what should be normal emails

[blazing granite]

I don't know about cleaner, but yes it was more sense of community because internet wasn't the big thing is now so less people you can really know people back then, actually I met few of them and there were AFK meeting on weekends like a friends get together

[rapid merlin]

Exactly. That's why Discord I don't see nor recommend it for professional environments. Getting emails from "Wumpus" or whatever his name is, about a password reset for your corporate account, just doesn't fit.

It's very embarassing.

[split compass]

I used to be on it all the time, ran Quassel server core and IRC program, great little bouncer stack, but since I stopped maintaining my VPS I haven't redeployed, and so have not been on IRC much.

Just this week I've started just logging in using IRSSI for now.
I'll get my bouncer going again soon probably.

[forest mortar]

Yessss irssi was my fav

[blazing granite]

different IRC back then 🙂

[rapid merlin]

Personally, in reverse engineering, everyone just wanted to share information. So, people weren't deviant; of course, they joked around and caused some chaos, but it was superficial and not problematic because people weren't easily offended by anything.

[rapid merlin]

Maybe I just don't get it but it's very odd and so out of place.

[main kraken]

owaaaaaa

flyyyyyyyyy

[blazing granite]

that's one thing I really miss, people nowadays get offended really easy, just in general not only on the internet

[rapid merlin]

anyway to add external modules if cd /root/.msf4/modules doesent exist?

[rapid merlin]

Absolutely, it feels like nowadays you can't say anything without risking being flamed.

Even in academia and schools, it feels like you can't really talk about anything freely anymore. The upcoming generations/even mine are really constrained/nuked.

The worst part is that what I'm talking about isn't even remotely bad or controversial. It's just that people really like to take things the wrong way and misinterpret them.

So, I just stay quiet and say whatever/don't bother with it.

[forest mortar]

Were we on different internets back in the day lmao

People have always been quick to flame

And most 'new' sensitivities are pretty well justified

[blazing granite]

when is back in the day for you?

[forest mortar]

For me specifically '05-'10 or so, but what I saw was pretty consistent with the stories I've heard from the BBS days

[blazing granite]

we're talking about different back in the day then 🙂

[forest mortar]

Pre-BBS?

[blazing granite]

1994 for internet, before that if you count BBS like fidonet 🙂

[forest mortar]

And the claim is that people were less quick to flame? Or is this the 'offended' thing

[blazing granite]

kind of both, flamers always existed and flame wars were legendries, but it was more the sense of community back then

if somebody attacked a regular he had to the whole forum/chat against it in a second

[forest mortar]

Hm, I mean those kinds of communities definitely still exist, maybe they're just harder to find and integrate into these days since most discussion forums have been concentrated into large services and sites (like discord)

[split compass]

At least there was a time, in some communities, where RFC1855 was adhered to, and people would flame tag their incendiary snark.

[main kraken]

crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[blazing granite]

I don't say they don't exist, there are rare nowadays

[main kraken]

What are rare

also it was more meaningful today we have, youtube, instagram, tiktok people doing stupid stuff just for money, and the so call influencers 😂

[main kraken]

huh

[forest mortar]

Looks like she'd be about 76 now, her LinkedIn also says she's retired lmao

[molten sky]

surprised she even has a linkedin tbh

[forest mortar]

Looks like she was at Intel until 2013, so I guess that lines up with LinkedIn being popular

[molten sky]

yeah but if you're on your way out anyways, are you really gonna use a social media platform meant to find jobs

i sure wouldn't

[forest mortar]

Might've just been a way to keep in contact with people from conferences or something I dunno

[molten sky]

a possibility

[main kraken]

What is the main objective of Cyber Security? ...

[viscid hill]

what is this? does anyone know, its in a room of android hacking never seen it before

[molten sky]

i'd rather not have my life ruined by someone accessing my shit

[main kraken]

huh

[molten sky]

what's the main objective of physical security?

[main kraken]

cyber security

[blazing granite]

not always for jobs, it's a nice place to network at least it was now is getting more an more like a regular social media

[molten sky]

the main objective of physical security is cyber security?

[molten sky]

i hate that progression tbh, but i do agree. too many influencer types on linkedin now

[main kraken]

Differentiate between threat, vulnerability and risk. ...

Im doing kahoot in discord

[molten sky]

i don't go linkedin to read a three page long manifesto about how your old boss went on vacation 17 months ago and told you a story about a conversation they had while there that somehow changed your "entire perspective" about your actually pretty inconsequential job

[frosty lava]

Does anyone follow Mad Hat? I like this video. He makes it seem like the job market isn't as bad is it looks. Tell me your thoughts, please.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgLd8Zxjx9I

[rapid merlin]

Up to a certain level.

[viscid hill]

Ill check him out

[molten sky]

well the job market sure isn't good, lol

[viscid hill]

job market is bad tho atleast

[rapid merlin]

I call them morons.

[molten sky]

that's not the purpose of security, that's part of how you achieve security

oh that was a different Q

[rapid merlin]

If you are not desirable.

[molten sky]

not true at all, lol

the job market is horrid right now

if you want to accept minimum wage you'll find something, sure, but if you want what you're actually worth there's not much hiring right now

[toxic inlet]

Guys i am in the rick and morty challenge i found the first ingredient but now i am stuck like i feel i am clueless about what i should do next should i watch the walkthrough now ?

[wild rose]

we just hired on a new sec analyst, we had over 500 who applied.

[rapid merlin]

It depends, but if you have genuine skills that are in low demand, I can assure you they won't get rid of you easily. Only a very small percentage of people who are fired are actually in low demand. If the company resorts to layoffs, it means you are replaceable to a certain extent, and they can afford to let you go.

[molten sky]

worst part is, i bet 80% of them weren't even close to qual

[rapid merlin]

How new are you to this?

[molten sky]

in the nicest way possible, how awfully naive

[rapid merlin]

You should check the average profile then.

[sick lance]

#room-help is a better channel 🙂
Could get lost in here

[rapid merlin]

Unless companies are actual morons.

Which I doubt since money is important.

[toxic inlet]

6 months finished network+ and EJPTv2 background is a real estate broker

[molten sky]

companies are shedding employees because money is important. companies aren't hiring because money is important.

security is an afterthought for a lot of places

[blazing granite]

#room-hints #room-help maybe somebody there can help you

[molten sky]

security doesn't make money

security is an expense

[rapid merlin]

Personally, I would recommend reading walkthroughs initially and then attempting to redo the room without relying on them, or finding a new approach altogether. CTFs follow very specific patterns.

It's a puzzle don't forget about it.

[sick lance]

Isn't rick n morty room in a path?

[toxic inlet]

Do CTF overall the same as the realworld jobs or the real bug hunting

[molten sky]

always a good way to get the ball rolling

[loud marlin]

@boreal scarab ping... u here ?

[viscid hill]

[toxic inlet]

Yes the complete beginner path

[wild rose]

that cat has skills

[rapid merlin]

Of course you are right but if you possess genuine value, they should retain you, unless they're acting foolishly. However, I acknowledge that many companies engage in widespread layoffs, but when you observe closely, the average profile is easily replaceable.

[main kraken]

Very important.

[main kraken]

idk im gonna find

enjoy

All the skills needed to do that room. wi;ll be found on that path 🙂

New room in 5 min(s)

What really

drop some hints

[molten sky]

but if you possess genuine value, they should retain you, unless they're acting foolishly
you're missing the point. if you work in security, you are an expense. you bring zero profit and actually cost them money. if they are looking to trim fat, they're gonna go to the places that don't actively make money first

[sick lance]

[rapid merlin]

Like I said if they are not dumb.

[viscid hill]

No hints?

[sick lance]

For 72 hours.

[viscid hill]

no like

[rapid merlin]

But if you take web dev for instance. When there's a horde of people learning front-end development and then they complain about being laid off because everyone has the same skill set, it's a predictable outcome.

[viscid hill]

what is the room about

[toxic inlet]

I think i will take another look and try to solve it again

[chilly veldt]

👀

[loud marlin]

@glass nest can i fuel you to fix laser faster ? got one pic for that fuel

[molten sky]

that's different. and web devs can actually make money. security doesn't make money. ever. unless your entire company provides security services, that is

security people can experience the same of course

but the job market isn't flourishing

[rapid merlin]

That's precisely it. Regardless of the field you're in, if you're not desirable, you'll likely get replaced. While it might be tougher in security, if you genuinely bring value to the company, they'll likely want to keep you. It's essentially survival of the fittest in the professional world.

[viscid hill]

front end web dev is the easiest to learn thats why + you can find templates online AND wix comes perfect right out of the box

[rapid merlin]

It's true, the practice is widespread and, in many cases, quite absurd.

It's actually bad.

[molten sky]

we've devolved into saying "the job market will be a job market"

[viscid hill]

yes, most websites now adays have the same corporate feel to them

its horrible

[molten sky]

if you expect any company to retain you because "you bring value", you're in for a rude awakening some day

[rapid merlin]

You're absolutely right. There are numerous factors beyond our control, like COVID and other unforeseeable events, that can significantly impact job security. The key is to reduce your risk by distinguishing yourself and being more desirable than the average profile.

[forest mortar]

RTO might be one of the biggest contentions in the industry right now lmao

[molten sky]

that doesn't matter nearly as much as you think tbh

you could be the best candidate out of 1000. but they will never even get to you.

[forest mortar]

My new department head decided to mandate 3/5 days in-office and I had a medical carer exemption rescinded from me so now I'm playing chicken with the C suite

[viscid hill]

wait no wrong link

[sand trench]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmcWMjBpYBU

[viscid hill]

sorry

[sand trench]

this feels expensive

[bold dawn]

i don’t like this website

[molten sky]

F

[sand trench]

also apple skimping out on things

[viscid hill]

https://www.cameronaskin.info/ sorry not world.net

[hot cairn]

Is that even legal? lol

[forest mortar]

Management will lose in either outcome lmao, even my first line manager said that if they fire me he's retiring early because he doesn't want to deal with the fallout

[bold dawn]

it’s okay, I was messing. I have no idea what it is. I just saw the planets lol

[molten sky]

both links are horrid lol

[viscid hill]

i kinda assumed

[forest mortar]

Yes, it's only illegal if I were the one with the medical issue unfortunately

[viscid hill]

okay

[bold dawn]

Tom, what do you do for a living?

[viscid hill]

in school

[bold dawn]

nice

[molten sky]

i will say tho, horrid in a "I can't stop staring" kind of way

[rapid merlin]

Before starting my introductory programming courses at college, I was already well into Assembly coding, reverse engineering, and overall pentesting. This early interest resulted in my teacher recommending me for internships and writing letters of recommendation on my behalf.

[viscid hill]

what about u

[bold dawn]

I do incident response, and website security

from pentesting to securing

[forest mortar]

Who has the link to that website showing the pinnacle of pure HTML + CSS design

[sick lance]

I borked my VM, now Linpeas.sh is missing and won't work

[rapid merlin]

That's very good, especially if you become highly proficient at it. There will be very few who can replace you.

[viscid hill]

man i dont even know if i want to go into the job market rn

[forest mortar]

curl -L https://github.com/carlospolop/PEASS-ng/releases/latest/download/linpeas.sh

[molten sky]

so, because you got a letter of recommendation for an internship, the job market is flush with opportunity?

[outer ginkgo]

I just had a question as I have just begun using TryHackMe, so I dont have a subscription and when on the free rooms it says that I dont need a subscription to use a VM. However whenever I try to open attackbox it says I need a subscription. any reason why?

[rapid merlin]

It simply means I've maximized my situation. While I can't change the market, I can enhance my skills and knowledge to become better at what I do.

[sick lance]

A free user only gets one boot up or 60 min(s) time on the attackbox

[wild rose]

Our recruiters will often drop candidates who don't put in a cover letter with their resume, just to weed out laziness. If you want an opportunity to drop into your lap, you're sadly mistaken.

[viscid hill]

i feel like id have a good chance getting hired im still very young to be getting into hacking, if i try hard enough and try to distinguish myself maybe, but at the same time its still several years or so before i graduate college

[rapid merlin]

Exact.

[forest mortar]

Work on networking first and foremost

[outer ginkgo]

so if I close it after one boot up even if it was only open for a few mins I have to wait until the next day?

[forest mortar]

Also leverage the connections your friends make

[molten sky]

you were saying before that the job market wasn't that bad

[rapid merlin]

Just be way better than most.

[bold dawn]

it’s a lot harder. I’m 19 and had to fight for a while to even get hired as helpdesk

[sick lance]

Yes.

[rapid merlin]

It's not that bad if you actually put in the effort (meaning work 10x harder).

[outer ginkgo]

Ok thanks. 👍

[molten sky]

that's the point, you're wrong

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @sick lance (current: #2 - 1943)

[sick lance]

Thank you

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @forest mortar (current: #344 - 13)

[molten sky]

putting in the effort HELPS but the job market is still poor

[forest mortar]

It's difficult to pain the entire tech industry with the same brush, there are fields that are way oversaturated and nearly impossible to find work in and there are others with loads of open positions

[viscid hill]

got alot of connections, networking is fun i learn something new everyday, once i turn 16 im going to try get some bpp's and CVEs under my belt, and try put the funds towards certifications

[molten sky]

and the expectation that "value" means you won't be fired one day is naive

[forest mortar]

Oh holy snap, you aren't even 16 yet? Yeah I wouldn't worry too much if you're already making connections and getting into deep topics, you'll do fine when the time to enter the industry comes

[viscid hill]

16 in 2 months

[molten sky]

very few companies care about long term value on a per person level. very, very few

[viscid hill]

1 month damn

[bold dawn]

I even got interviewed for my bug bounty success when I was 14-15 I believe

and it was still a fight

[rapid merlin]

The typical profile may encounter challenges in finding a job. However, if you can showcase high-quality work and an exceptional profile, you're more likely to secure the position.

[viscid hill]

damn bro nice

holy

[rapid merlin]

I started around 10. Just keep working very hard.

It's very important.

[molten sky]

you're wholly missing the point

[viscid hill]

coding or hacking?

[rapid merlin]

Both.

Generally get a very good base.

Do things people avoid.

[molten sky]

we could go back and forth about "more likely" but 5% more likely than 2% is still practically 2%

[viscid hill]

i started coding at like 11, very unfulfilling tho

imo

[rapid merlin]

But you have to learn it.

[viscid hill]

oh yeah i learned it for sure

[rapid merlin]

Do low-level preferably.

[forest mortar]

(the learning never stops btw)

[viscid hill]

trying to learn assembly atm

[rapid merlin]

Very nice.

[rapid merlin]

I haven't heard people with outstanding profiles complaining about job prospects.

[forest mortar]

Doing the CMU Bomb Lab purely in GDB can help with that

[rapid merlin]

I also don't complain and just work way harder.

[viscid hill]

there was something to do with an assembly revshell in the AOC sidequest that i missed out on

[viscid hill]

yeah i do 9 hours everyday

on good days

[rapid merlin]

Very good, that's similar to me.

[viscid hill]

whats ur scheduele like

[rapid merlin]

I would average 10-12 hours on good days.

Mostly 10 if everything is right.

Assuming I don't have homework or projects.

[molten sky]

then they're either ( a ) upper level already or ( b ) making a compromise somewhere
that compromise can be in anything. could be salary, could be hours, could be commute, could be a dozen other things -- salary is most likely though

[viscid hill]

can u send the link, here or dms is fine
