@glass nest What's your go to Nmap flags?

[glass nest]

sC sV vv, obviously.

[blazing granite]

French have hard time accepting other wines because it hurts their pride 😂

[boreal scarab]

Oh obviously

[glass nest]

was there ever any doubt?

[brisk tree]

French wine is good

[glass nest]

And French Cheese

[blazing granite]

canadians do too, but the original is German, is not distilled, is harvest in winter, the grape stay in the vine and get really rippen, and frozen, they usually harvest at night and they press the grapes frozen

[glass nest]

Like a grape slushie

[blazing granite]

it's really good, there are amazing wines in France, but also in other part of the world, frenchs have hard time sharing the spotlight 😂

[boreal scarab]

Just a smidgen

[brisk tree]

Ahahahahaha

[glass nest]

I think 2x verbosity is enough though

[blazing granite]

what all that process does, it's making a sweet wine that it's high in acidity so it's not sickly sweet, it's really amazing

[sick lance]

nmap -sVC -p- $IP

[boreal scarab]

Thank you 😄 sC helped me in this one

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @glass nest (current: #19 - 383)

[shell nova]

Ice wine is delicious

Not made as much in Germany anymore

[glass nest]

De nada 🙂 I thought that was your go-to aswell though

[chilly veldt]

👀

[boreal scarab]

@blazing granite Believe this?

[shell nova]

I've had some pretty syrupy ice wines though

[blazing granite]

Ice wine it's amazing

[glass nest]

I've never tried it, but a Candian friend told me about it

[shell nova]

Ice cider is also good

[boreal scarab]

My go to is usually -vv -sV -p-

[shell nova]

Usually -sC -sV

[blazing granite]

if it's syrupy it wasn't made it right 🙂

[wheat oriole]

Question, does anybody use the windows version of Kali Linux for Bug bounty or cyber security? Hows it working out for you?

[sick lance]

My nmap commands are on my auto script

Once that's found, any web servers are hit with whatweb

[glass nest]

All ports? huh. I'd just do a normal scan first, then all-port it in the background while I work on what was found originally

[chilly veldt]

I need to redo my partitions

[boreal scarab]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJd26OUY5ko
Italians do not approve

[shell nova]

Agreed

[glass nest]

If you need to cool your white wine, drop a couple of frozen grapes in it. Keeps it cool, and doesnt water it down

[boreal scarab]

Thanks for this one too 😄

[chilly veldt]

I have to extend my boot partition

[sick lance]

udpPorts is not good for AD systems.

[blazing granite]

Canadian ice wine it's really good. Specially inniskillin ice wine made of vidal

[shell nova]

Glhf

[shell nova]

Vidal is the baseline variety

[chilly veldt]

yeahhhhh, it's also encrypted

[shell nova]

Inniskillin is a big winery but they're alright

[glass nest]

Honestly, I'd be more interested in trying the ice cider Hydra mentioned. Makes me think of 'Scumble' from Pratchett books.

[shell nova]

That's closer to Calvados

[boreal scarab]

Thanks 😄

[chilly veldt]

so I have to undo my luks encryption on all my partitions so I can extend my boot part

[sick lance]

nmap -vvv -Pn -sC -sV -p79 $target

If the OS has finger services, this will reveal the usernames.

[glass nest]

Well, right now, drinking isn't worth it for me. Maybe in the future though

[shell nova]

Scramble seems a higher degree variant, and iirc is made from mostly apples

[boreal scarab]

That's going in my notes as well, got anymore up your sleeve?

[lament tendon]

Tripple v?

[glass nest]

Well, in the stories its made by leaving it out in the winter, and taking off the ice-layer every morning

[boreal scarab]

Very very verbose XD

[sick lance]

Yup.

[blazing granite]

the vidal I recommend it because it's good and it's not something that you see every day, something really good is its ice wine made with Cabernet Franc

[shell nova]

Ye, harder to produce

Vidal is exceptionally cold resistant

[lament tendon]

Damn. I usually feel like the extra output just spams my logs.

[glass nest]

Hydra - Isn't that the name of a football player?

[shell nova]

Very thick skin

[shell nova]

Maybe?

[glass nest]

And all of those things may even apply to a person 😄

[tropic cedar]

hi, why I can't upload an image here?

[boreal scarab]

But it does help you in knowing what the scan is doing. I can't do a scan without doing -vv. I like to see where my scan is at

[shell nova]

Possibly

[shell nova]

You need to verify first

[shell nova]

More V's better. Ansible goes up to 6 iirc

[glass nest]

beerise, yeah I need 1 v at a minimum. othersie I don't know if it's hanging

[boreal scarab]

6?!

[shell nova]

-vvvvvv is a bit deranged though

[boreal scarab]

Mine was hanging, and even with -sV it didn't give ,me much info I needed, -sC did

[boreal scarab]

That's a very very very very very verbose game you got there

[shell nova]

That too is also deranged

[glass nest]

I've not played it, but it looks like a super meat boy clone?

[shell nova]

Not sure if you can combine those params to -sCV

[shell nova]

Precision platformer

[glass nest]

That just creates a resume.

[shell nova]

Then it complains about needing more vespene gas

[boreal scarab]

Lemme see, if I can, saves me on shortening the amount of flags

[shell nova]

Well it doesn't complain, but it may also just ignore the V

[boreal scarab]

Speaking of V, I put -vvvvvv for the fun of it. Whichever V did this..... DNS resolution of 1 IPs took 0.02s. Mode: Async [#: 2, OK: 0, NX: 1, DR: 0, SF: 0, TR: 1, CN: 0]

[shell nova]

Drop a V until it disappears

[boreal scarab]

🫡

[glass nest]

beerise - This is a true 'hacker mindset'. Just keep doing stuff to see what happens 😄

[boreal scarab]

Third v did that

[lament tendon]

Just press 's' while the scan is running.

[shell nova]

Probably doesn't have more tbh

[boreal scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/hacker-hackerman-kung-fury-gif-7953536

[lament tendon]

I think it has 10, no?

[shell nova]

Usually doing something else in the meantime

[shell nova]

Dunno

[lament tendon]

Can also press v and V to increase/decrease verbosity during scans.

[glass nest]

Y'all are making me wanna hack, but NO. today is only woodwork and python.

[lament tendon]

I want to hack.

[shell nova]

Today is the youngun's handball tourney

[lament tendon]

But I am on a mountain and did not bring a laptop. 🥲

[crude stump]

Oo what are you doing in python

[shell nova]

Tomorrow is my archery tourney

No time for Hax this weekend 😦

[glass nest]

Me too, but I'm working through PNPT. hopefully Python won't take long. I did coding in uni, but that was years ago, I hope it all just comes back to me

[boreal scarab]

One thing I love about my server. Trilium Notes is an app on there, so I can just go to the IP and Port of my notes on any machine, and everything is there

[shell nova]

Should

[shell nova]

I have mine behind a DNS as well

[crude stump]

What are you going to code

[lament tendon]

Can I also go to your IP and port on any machine?

[shell nova]

Didn't bring my MFA token though

[glass nest]

Yah. Never did python, but did Java and C++ and a lot of programming concepts are the same, just different syntax

@crude stump

[boreal scarab]

You wish lol. It's still locked behind a password, good luck on that one.

[lament tendon]

Python is relatively unique compared to those two.
But you‘ll manage.

[crude stump]

Ooo

[glass nest]

i guess i'll be making a shoe budget tool

[shell nova]

I locked mine behind a Keycloak

[lament tendon]

Don‘t challenge me. 😜

[glass nest]

Bit - Yeah, from the little i've done it's almost like writing pseudocode

[crude stump]

Only thing I never learned is a socket

What ever that is

[shell nova]

Just a connection through which data flows

[glass nest]

's the bit that lets you connect to stuff

[crude stump]

Oh

[lament tendon]

Whaha, you have not seen what cursed depths you can get into once you realise you can handle the entirety of python as a dictionary, including all classes and functions.

[shell nova]

Like the Spice, the data must flow

[lament tendon]

I have committed crimes against the universe beyond believe, but it was a little faster then the initial code, so hey.

[glass nest]

Yeaaaah, not gonna get too deep into it. Just enough to be able to confidently make scripts for pwnage

[shell nova]

Been there, done that, hacked the planet

There were a couple rooms with python template injections

[boreal scarab]

First, you need to get on my network, find the machine, find the port, then try and get the password. Without me even knowing you're on my network 👀

[lament tendon]

Don‘t challenge me. 😜

[rapid merlin]

Which rooms can I solve for free ?

[crude stump]

800+

[shell nova]

All of them labelled free

[glass nest]

Aye, I'll jump onto THM after this part of the course, and smash out some python-based rooms

[rapid merlin]

Yes. Free after I subscribe for $12.00 !

[shell nova]

Or not labelled subscriber only

[devout palm]

75% of the content is free

Use search filters

[lament tendon]

After you subscribe you get access to pretty much everything, lel.

[crude stump]

Yeah If you want the subscriber rooms

[glass nest]

75? I thought it was closer to 80%

[lament tendon]

Very few exceptions.

[shell nova]

You don't have to, 80% or so of the content on thm is free

[boreal scarab]

Never heard of keycloak before, look cool!

[rapid merlin]

https://tryhackme.com/room/furthernmap I am doing this.

[sick lance]

Keycloak*

[crude stump]

Good room

[glass nest]

Ooh, good room. Make sure you take notes of the most useful commands.

[shell nova]

Have fun

[crude stump]

Said it first

[shell nova]

Remind me to find a vulnerable version one of these days

[glass nest]

Still not as fast at typing as scrubz or Hydra 😄

[boreal scarab]

Listen, I have no excuse, I already had my coffee lol

[sick lance]

Find a vulnerable version of that Hydra, will ya.

[shell nova]

I'm on mobile, and am a terrible typist

[crude stump]

Aye I’m on the phone so it’s even harder for me

On the computer I got a 75 wpm

[devout palm]

Actually... 71.895425836601307%

[sick lance]

Gotta type fast to keep up with James 👀

[glass nest]

We did a typing test thing back when I was a CM. I was bottom of the list 😄

[shell nova]

Never tried calculating

[boreal scarab]

I gotcha, since this is not your hacking weekend, I'll remind you during the weekday 😄

[shell nova]

Hah

After april

[glass nest]

My accuracy suffers aswell. I'm like, a typo master. 's why most of my posts are edited

[shell nova]

Need to finish my beginner lab first

As a coding youtube once said: Just grind type monkey for a couple of hours, and you will type 100wpm easily.

[crude stump]

Tbh I don’t even edit my message if I got a typo

[lament tendon]

Lmao.

[shell nova]

Lol

[sick lance]

I have notes on several people 👀

And you'll never know, mwahahaha.

[shell nova]

I don't use that feature as much as I should

[lament tendon]

Wonder whether people put notes on my profile sometimes.

I sure do that.

[devout palm]

I don't

[boreal scarab]

Yes sir! Your reminder has been set in the calendar. Would you like me to move your 11 AM meeting to another time that day too?

[devout palm]

Why would i

[sick lance]

I did it at first with pronouns etc.

[lament tendon]

Usually not a good thing for the people I am taking notes on.

[shell nova]

Would be nice 😉

[devout palm]

Says it all, really

[sick lance]

[crude stump]

Scrubs doesn’t have notes on everybody 😉

[lament tendon]

Last note I took on a guy was '🤡'….

[crude stump]

Oh

[bitter apex]

Im just leaning some XSS, and I saw that the tel: URI scheme gets through DOMPurify, and it seems like it is able to run arbitrary js code like alert() through <a id=ok href=tel:alert(1337)> then calling ok. Why does this work, and is there a way for my to sanitize this workaround?

Don't worry, just give it to your manager, cause fuck those people. Same person I was just talking about, I had to give the ticket to my manager cause he was pissing me off, I fixed his issue MULTIPLE TIMES.

I should probably get a lawn. Just to tell people to stay off it.

can someone explain me, what cyber physical system is ?

as in red team physical access testing ?

[solar thunder]

try chatgpt

[loud marlin]

if we talk of same. sometimes you get employed to brake into building and test physical access of things. like social engineering and so

[crude stump]

No

[solar thunder]

What?

[loud marlin]

this also. do you own google and learn

crap GPT gives you summary of answer. google will lead you to more broad answer and show you more

[crude stump]

Exactly

[loud marlin]

i don't say GTP is bad in case or two. ppl use it for sure. google is things you go with

[solar thunder]

[native junco]

hey all, maybe you have any suggestions. I'm a total noob in cyber security, but I do a bit of coding here and there. So I've got my old xiaomi redmi 4x, I configured pattern as my screen lock back when I was a kid (for security purposes obviously=)) But the only person it kept the phone secure from is me apparently. It was back in 2017 or something like that. I can't enable usb debugging (since the thing is locked). And the phone gets blocked for 190min after each unsuccessful login attempt...jeez, I also can't access recovery mode without their Mi PC Suite (which doesn't work without usb debugging being enabled, obviously). I'd like to keep all my files untouched, but at this point I'm not sure it's an option...
Phew, that's a long read. May the force be with you! Hopefully someone has any insights.

[buoyant tree]

Hmm Italian hackers figured out how to weaponize pizza images.

[kindred plover]

is there a 48 hour timer after you set a new day on your streak?

but quite a long process

[solar thunder]

chatgpt already gets the data from google

[split compass]

Midnight your time I think. So if you did a question at 00:30, then you're on streak for 47ish hours I guess?

[noble sedge]

no, it's a kind of stuff that combines electrical engineering with computer science

[split compass]

I just went through this.

[bleak dagger]

dude when people pause their computer session in this library i can just alt+tab & use it

[split compass]

It's done at a product level, looking for physical and protocol design attack angles.

Consider the "intercepted in transit" attack vector for example.

Bus pirates, signal generators, PCI bus vulnerability detection, etc.

[shut hawk]

[solar thunder]

yes 👍

[split compass]

Why have you forsaken me!?

[solar thunder]

lmao

[split compass]

To be clear, I have a metabolic disorder. I essentially do not have access to the 2 stored ATP most people call on for anaerobic exercise. It's fun 😅

[solar thunder]

Incredible

[split compass]

It's manageable, it's just nice to have found out in my adult life what it is that I have. Through my younger life I just recognized my metabolism as different, and has charted how to best use my body.

Apparently that basic intro to bio stuff I was taught in grade 5/6 was useful. 🤣

Sometimes I feel quite spritely, but I can chew through that very quickly.

My aerobic cycle is bloody amazing though. So once I start, I just have to pace myself, and then once I feel the warm up, never stop.

[solar thunder]

I learned it in high school😄

[split compass]

I learned more in highschool bio, grade school was very basic, like a metabolism exists, these foods can support it, etc.

Krebs cycle and such was all grade 11

[blazing granite]

yall clean your room?

[loud marlin]

i do my best to do so

[wild rose]

now my office is a different kind of beast. I feel like it's spring cleaning when I have to clean that room.

[rapid merlin]

I'm extremely meticulous about keeping my room clean—think Adderall-level freak cleanliness.

It legitimately bugs me if there is anything out of place.

[devout palm]

Obsessive Compulsive

[rapid merlin]

Like literally, took me years to accept it.

If I notice something even slightly out of place in my room, my hands start shaking until I fix it.

It all began around the age of 8 or 9, if my memory serves me correctly.

It's likely the only significant issue I've had to contend with as a whole, considering I'm quite flawed as a human from a design perspective.

[wild rose]

which reminds me I need to clean my car, but it looks like it's going to rain.

[rapid merlin]

In general, a clean environment always puts you in a good and right mindset.

I am also the kind of individual who likes cleaning so keep that in mind.

[sand trench]

it is also the easiest programming language to cause extreme bugs with

[glossy portal]

kernel level, I wanna stay cozy in the higher levels

[rapid merlin]

Even with C or C++. Python is good but it's way way too high level.

[sand trench]

there is good reasons why there is so many higher level programming languages to abstract away the complexities

[rapid merlin]

They all serve a purpose though.

[sand trench]

yuup they all have their purposes

except maybe lisp

no one uses lisp

./joke

[rapid merlin]

Python is great, but if you're looking to dive deep into intricacies, it might not be the best choice.

No jokes if someone wants to learn coding, they should start with C.

It's not that hard and you get a very good idea quickly how everything works.

[sand trench]

started with java

[rapid merlin]

I hate Java.

[devout palm]

I disagree.

They need to understand algorithms first

[rapid merlin]

They can do it at the same time.

[devout palm]

Then they can think about OOP, then memory

[rapid merlin]

In my opinion, the other way around.

[blazing granite]

the only java I like it's the one that goes in my cup 😂

[devout palm]

It depends on the person though

[rapid merlin]

Mastering memory management is crucial not only for understanding how things work at a fundamental level but also for significantly reducing the occurrence of memory-related bugs in your code.

But yes.

[rapid merlin]

Everyone hate Java haha.

[shut hawk]

Funnily enough, #programming message

[rapid merlin]

I'd say if anyone completely new tries to learn language, best off they develop a problem solving mentality first thru higher level language

and then get into memory and all those

[rapid merlin]

Yes, problem-solving skills are paramount, and they can be honed using any programming language, depending on your goals.

[blazing granite]

I've been to the island and I like their coffee, that the only java I like 🙂

[rapid merlin]

pretty much yea

[shut hawk]

I agree with this, python is better to learn if you are completely new, because of its simplicity it allows the student to focus more on learning the actual programming concepts

[rapid merlin]

I am also into reverse engineering so it's important to learn low level languages.

[rapid merlin]

Haha, never tried coffee personally.

Maybe one time, if I am not wrong.

It's a good starting point.

[rapid merlin]

There is also their genuine interest in coding and their aspirations. For instance, someone who wants to do game development might dive right into learning C++ or C#.

PowerShell syntax is garbage though.

for real

[rapid merlin]

It is.

Still highly specific though.

[sand trench]

yeah...

would be surprised if it takes very long to figure out who did it

[rapid merlin]

Well, at least that person has a fun story to share.

[blazing granite]

it's would be funny if they discover that a few guys got drunk and decided to steal it 😂

[buoyant tree]

eh just simple social engineering

nobody assumes anybody will try and steal a big ass radio tower

came in and just started working

nobody questioned him

[blazing granite]

and confession to a felony on the process???

[sand trench]

well you probably need a large crane or something tot bring it down safely and be able to remove it

[rapid merlin]

That scenario could genuinely happen because the theft is so specific and random, and it's in Alabama, adding to the peculiarity of the situation (drunk people I guess).

[sand trench]

i.e the equipment to be able to dismantle and remove an entire radio tower is nothing to scoff at

[rapid merlin]

After realizing everything, haha.

[rapid merlin]

[mild adder]

I joined this server because I know that in the next coming month the following I have on social media will be going up and I want to learn the best ways to protect my internet and private information without it getting leaked can someone help me with that

[whole yew]

but each one is also going to be different. Evaluate what they propose, compare the knowledge and exam vouchers they provide.

[sand trench]

the news aggregator website yes

[frosty junco]

well, if you find the right one and if you're in a university, check out if there's a CS group with possible cybersecurity resources

[rapid merlin]

Make sure you just control what you share.

[shut hawk]

It's pretty much the #1 for tech-related feeds

[whole yew]

Short answer: OpSec is difficult, you're going to be doxxed if you get big enough.

[rapid merlin]

That's the one I primarily use, besides forums, when I want to delve deep into something. It's quite nice.

[frosty junco]

my uni offers a cybersecurity and granted, not every uni offers it, but check it out. but look out for classes too. they might be expensive, like juun said, but you might get a certificate and that's key

[sick lance]

I'd you don't want it on the Internet, don't put it on the Internet

[sand trench]

opsec for shadow is nightmare as shadow is a rare breed of using 3rd person to refer to themselves

[devout palm]

They offer mentorship and part time job opportunity but i don't want to work as a devops engineer, i just need an experience to put in my resume so that i can land entry level jobs

[sick lance]

I've almost doxed myself in here.

I found somebody on LinkedIn accidentally

[mild adder]

yeah I just want to protect myself I hear all these creators getting swatted and there families getting harassed and I get there's always gonna be those people but I want to try and prevent it the best way possible if there's things I can put on my computer to prevent it

[sick lance]

Thankfully staff also won't disclose my name.

[sand trench]

ah yes linkedin

the nice easy to osint and dox people site

[rapid merlin]

@mild adder OPSEC involves a completely different mindset if you genuinely prioritize it. Fundamentally, it spans various levels across different domains. True OPSEC entails dissociating your entire identity, including psychological profile, dialect, and cultural references, from your online persona, or effectively adopting a false identity to become someone else entirely. After addressing this, you then address the technical aspects, which serve a distinct purpose as well.

The primary fundamental flaw in OPSEC is failing to truly dissociate oneself.

[whole yew]

So look: it's really, really difficult. You're more at risk from your own carelessness and long term internet habits, if you are worried about location or PII data being exposed. Consult with a good entertainment agent and entertainment lawyer is the best advice I can give and you are already hyper-scaling your following.

[rapid merlin]

Linkedin is a mess on it's own.

It's useful for corporate reconnaissance, especially if you're involved in pentesting, red teaming, and similar activities. Apart from that, it's amusing how recruiters indirectly run spam campaigns there.

It's chaotic as hell.

[sand trench]

yeah linkedin is messy and kinda annoying

[rapid merlin]

I don't like it either.

[sand trench]

funny how it is owned by microsoft

which are trying to sell enterprise solutions with security

[sand trench]

nice more good things to hear about it

[grizzled crystal]

it's like your own little slice of the internet

[rapid merlin]

@mild adder There are strategies to implement if you're savvy enough, but genuine OPSEC, particularly tailored to your personal profile if you aim to be very public, can be severely limited due to the introduction of numerous points of failure.

It's very interesting to learn though.

[quartz tide]

Got it work yep thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @frosty junco (current: #1993 - 1)

Yeah that's also partly it I know I've done stuff in the past on the internet that I'm not proud of and people can use it against me in the future despite me being 13, 14 years old at the time, and I am also expecting my following to take a big jump due to certain things happening in spring & summer

[devout palm]

You sometimes need to sacrifice opsec in order to achieve something

[rapid merlin]

Yes, but it's a calculated risk at the end of the day.

Many individuals fail to implement OPSEC properly and neglect proper risk management.

[mild adder]

I've never really heard of OPSEC till I js hooked it up cause you mentioned it can you tell me more about that

[devout palm]

I think once you improve your OSINT skills, you understand OPSEC better

[rapid merlin]

Because OPSEC in its true form is multi-dimensional. You, as the first actor, are at the center, while the second, third, and even fourth degree actors are those linked to you—associates, friends, or anyone in your circle. Introducing these individuals significantly alters the dynamic, as their potential points of failure compound with yours, becoming potential stress points when it comes to protecting yourself.

Ideally, you must ensure that your actions don't inadvertently affect them, as this could lead to neglecting their own practices, introducing additional failure points. Ideally as well, your online identity should be entirely distinct from your real-life persona, creating an illusion that what you do online isn't connected to your everyday life. And to top it off, you need to minimize the impact of the actions of second- and third-degree actors, ensuring that any connections between them and you are minimal, thus reducing the risk of exposure.

I could write 500 pages on how to properly do it.

Heap, that isn't really what they are here for. Again, if you don't have a strong interest in cybersecurity as a profession, you are better off consulting and engaging with experts who will have the contacts you need for your career: a good representative agent and and a good entertainment lawyer.

[devout palm]

Right, sorry that was irrelevant

[whole yew]

It's not irrelevant, it's just not what they are here for

Also remember this: advice you paid for is going to be more valuable to you than advice you got for free from a discord community. Many of us are considered experts in our primary domains, but sifting out who is an actual expert vs an armchair general is extremely difficult, and my advice to to avoid that conflict entirely. Pay an expert for their opinion, and listen to their advice before making a decision

No one can know everything, and opsec from a pentester is going to be very very different than opsec for someone in the entertainment industry

It's important to also regularly read about psychology profiling and have a solid foundation. Often, people's vulnerabilities arise from their own actions, especially when they recklessly believe they're in control (which is the worst thing you could ever do). This false sense of security actually make them more vulnerable. Establishing frameworks helps assess if your actions align with proper opsec. This is also where criminals/highly public profiles (individuals) often stumble and get caught. So, it's crucial to carefully consider where you want your identity to go and what level of security you aim for. Each security level comes with its own balance of convenience, inconvenience, and risk of failure. It's also a good part of risk management in IT.

[glass nest]

i've done a first aswell. Making a vice to hold pen blanks for drilling. Had to stop it halfway through to pop a couple of M8 nuts into the handles.

[rapid merlin]

Certainly, understanding how people search for information and connect dots can indirectly/directly aid in OPSEC. Having insight into what people seek is fundamental skill that is very important to have.

[glass nest]

Apprently Cura has a feature to stop at a certain point.. Creality doesn't, so I ran a preview, saw that I needed to stop at layer 135 and just kinda waited

[blazing granite]

Priest? 😂

[glass nest]

I'm not following...

[blazing granite]

Cura = Priest in Spanish 😂

[glass nest]

Ahh ok. I thought was like the spell 'Cura' in Final Fantasy, used by.. well healers who are usually preists in thise type of games 😄

[rapid merlin]

Using dialects can be powerful tool when you have a good dataset for example. Take Ted Kaczynski, for example. He was caught because distinct linguistic traits pointed to his identity. Growing up in a particular region of the US during a specific era, attending a particular school where he learned a unique dialect, influenced how he expressed his ideas. This distinctive manner of expression ultimately led to his brother noticing similarities and, eventually, Kaczynski's capture (big simplification). But you could say the same thing with OSINT and OPSEC if you know what you are looking for.

[glass nest]

Rex - Are you trying to trick me into learning spanish?

[blazing granite]

that's the field of forensic linguistic

[rapid merlin]

Yes, a very interesting field.

[loud marlin]

for pen and round stuff i have rotary extension. this one
https://eu.laserpecker.net/collections/all-products/products/rotary-extension?_pos=4&_fid=d69e3f0c9&_ss=c

[blazing granite]

😂 that's the first thing popped in my head when I read cura. I'm looking into going to Argentina to visit my family since my mum's birthday is coming and also there are some family issues, but I'm a bit short of money so I'm racking my brain with that and Spanish has been in my mind a lot lately

[glass nest]

Ralex, Can you move to plymouth? I feel like we need to share workshops.

[loud marlin]

move to what ?

[glass nest]

plymouth. It's the city I live in 😄

[loud marlin]

ahaa

[blazing granite]

I studied in uni, part of the syllabus

[glass nest]

Not in MA :p

[heady nova]

Suuup

[blazing granite]

also great gin 🙂

[loud marlin]

sure thing... you have some chemical induiestries there near by to appl for job 🙂

[glass nest]

Ummm... theres a dockyard that has nuclear submarine repair/build contracts?

[rapid merlin]

Very interesting. What degree did you pursue?

[loud marlin]

interesting... tbh not sure to get job but will be fun heh

[blazing granite]

BA in English with a minor in Linguistics 🙂

[glass nest]

My best friend is a porject manager there, His wife does something there too, and my other friends husband is a naval officer on one of the subs

[blazing granite]

Love language acquisition, cognitive science, etc

[sand trench]

guess you can be away from home for a long time if you work on the submarines

[rapid merlin]

Nice, did you take any philosophy courses?

[loud marlin]

in that case, simple lab technician will be nice place heh

[glass nest]

Ooh, Theres Bell Laboratories. one of My ex's worked there

[blazing granite]

philosophy was optional I opted for other one, but I did, sociolinguistics, phonetics, phonology, history of English language, etc

[glass nest]

Wine studies, with a minor in cheese and chocolate?

[blazing granite]

wine studies too, but not only wine alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages too, I'm a man of many layers 😉 🙂

damn I have to check this keyboard 😂

[glass nest]

Damn. Thinking about it, Your partner must have hugh expectations for Valentines Day. A well worded message in a card, a really nice bottle of wine, and some decadent chocolates

Ah. Layers. Like an Onion, Ogre or Parfait.

[sand trench]

or cake

[blazing granite]

no expectations because there is no partner 😂

[glass nest]

Dodged a bullet there :p

[rapid merlin]

Very interesting, I only took two philosophy courses myself. One focused on logic, and the other on metaethics. I delved into topics like Ethical subjectivism (including the Ideal observer theory and Divine command theory) and Error theory. I really liked because there is plenty of room for thought.

[blazing granite]

I had philosophy in secondary school so I had enough of that 😂

[rapid merlin]

I see. I read philosophy when I was much younger too, but never pursued it academically. Unfortunately, philosophy isn't typically taught in middle and high school (where I live).

It's good to learn though.

Especially logic.

Gives you the ability to correlate various situations and construct systematic approaches based on them.

Which indirectly is very important in cybersecurity and many other fields as well.

[blazing granite]

usually is not part of the Argentine public curricula, but I went to a private school

[glass nest]

So, ideal situation, when you heading to Argentina?

[rapid merlin]

I see. Did you enjoy it? Personally, I didn't attend a private school; I learned everything mostly on my own as an autodidact. I only used the school's provided outline to guide my learning and pass the exams.

[boreal scarab]

I need a drink.....

[glass nest]

Print one!

Mmm Pepsi Max cherry

[blazing granite]

I'll have an answer next week about money, so later last week, of beginning of the one after that, also I need so heat it's 🥶 here 😂

[glass nest]

Haha

[boreal scarab]

Print a drink?

[blazing granite]

I was nice, it was an Italian school

[glass nest]

Well, I kinda wanna see some awesome Argentinian pics. Food especially, like what would a usual dish in the Rex household be

Beerise - Yup. Like those machines in Mcdonalds do 😄

[blazing granite]

my mom it's a great cook

[glass nest]

An ice-cream machine is technically 3D printing a swirl....

[rapid merlin]

Did you learn latin there too (or self-taught)?

[blazing granite]

yes

[boreal scarab]

I got my drink. I'm happy.

[glass nest]

Moms always are. Xmas dinner at MommaEsqys house... You'll put on a couple kilos at least, and then feel bad that your belly isnt bigger

[rapid merlin]

That sounds great. I wish I had learned languages in school. I've mainly learned languages through books on my own, which isn't bad, but it's nice to learn from someone who knows how to speak it.

For real though, Rex. you are like.. Global cultural diversity in one person

I'm just Irish living in England, nothing special here 😄

[blazing granite]

that's what I love cultural diversity

[sand trench]

One of the perks of a community like this 🙂

[blazing granite]

I've been doing a pretty good job for the last 16 years 😂

[sand trench]

shadow is talking about your claims about temprature

[blazing granite]

I hate cold, it doesn't matter the location 😂

anything less than 23C it's not for me, but I've always lived in places with low temps in winter so I manage with a lot of thermal clothes, but I hate cold 😂

Even in Argentina, when I grew up, winter are like 5-10C sometimes -3 😂

I'm used to, but I hate it

[sand trench]

welcome to sweden.... todays outside temp is -27°C

[blazing granite]

I was there a few times for holiday, but I could never live in a place like that

beautiful place, but too cool for my taste

[gilded summit]

🥶

We had couple of weeks like that down here in Latvia. That was enough for me. 😄

[shell nova]

Mmmm warm

its from my uni actually 😅

im just not very good hacker atm

[rapid merlin]

I provided him with the information based on the hint they gave.

[boreal scarab]

Still can't help
