So: Have a Cat6 plugged into my router on it's 2.5g port, mode is Access on a specific VLAN Profile on .52. I plugged it into the second 1g port on my server, and have my VM using that NIC as it's.... NIC. On TrueNAS Scale Network section, I have on NIC 2 182.168.52.2/24, tested and saved.

On my router's VLAN section, 2.5 is green, on my guest network VLAN section, where I can add VLAN's and all, got that on wired and not wireless network, but it shows 0 clients.

lol

Don't ask why, just, if you got knowledge, lay it on me

[glass nest]

Sounds like it might be to do with the second port on the server

Or the first - The untested one

[boreal scarab]

First is on my LAN already, getting network.

[glass nest]

Does it work if you unplug t'other?

Is attackbox safe to use at work?

[glass nest]

You should really be working at work 😄

[weak locust]

Im in it with lots of downtime

[boreal scarab]

Ok, so 1g port on my router is running down to me, to a switch, from the switch runs into 1g on the server and IPMI, those work just fine. got 2 10g NIC's in desktops to the server, those work. Just port 2 1g NIC, either not configured properly, or what/ But TrueNAS does see it's live, but no data, cause no IP

[weak locust]

Boss is cool with learning

[wintry sluice]

define safe. it won't attack you, but you might get in trouble for not working

[glass nest]

Ok, So I'd say - Unplug the working one as you KNOW you can get that up and running, and see if the second one fires up. If it does, then theres a conflict somewhere

Basically work backwards to troubleshoot

[boreal scarab]

Then I have to configure the network in TrueNAS itself

WAIT

[glass nest]

.....

[boreal scarab]

I think I know why. the fucking IO VLAN selection has been a PITA to me, never gives DHCP

[weak locust]

Like will my boss see normal https traffic?

[glass nest]

That was my next thing 😄 Check the IP and just assign it one

Cos DHCP can sometimes be squiffy

Aye. I'm hoping it was Jabba like 'Wait a sec, Esqy wouldn't say that!'

Or does each NIC have it's own? Could be a conflict

(Thats Why I suggested unplugging the working one to test the non-working one)

[naive violet]

They each have their own mac so should be chill

[glass nest]

Should be, but this is Matt configuring them

[boreal scarab]

So on my router side:

Have 2 VLAN's I configured to test, 1 is n IOT one, another is just generic guest. Both are not using wifi band, JUST RJ45. on the LAN VLAN side, 2.5g port on my router is in Access mode using the generic guest VLAN Profile.

On my server side:

VM is using NIC2 (One connected to 2.5g on my router) as it's NIC. On the network side of TrueNAS Scale, IP Address is the same VLAN ID as the Guest network on nic2.

But it's all going well, Hex?

[silver sky]

For example, universities will have security.

Some see it as a service, as in they fund it, train their staff, engage with the local and wider community, keep people safe etc.

Some see it as, we have to have them, but let's treat them like shit and fund them like shit and wonder why their response to issues is awful.

Also don't forget that they don't have proper policies in place

[boreal scarab]

VLANed, seprated from my whole network, can't access my main network, but can still ping out. LETS GOOOOOOO

[silver sky]

My degree is going well.
I will probably leave employment at the university after.

the discounted degree is a major incentive

[blazing granite]

So far so good, I'm on a hunt for a remote position now, so I'll be able to spend more time here

[glass nest]

Awesome. And the techy stuff you got going?

Remote wine tasting. Thats the dream

[silver sky]

Oh the business folded mate.

[glass nest]

Oh no, sorry to hear that

[silver sky]

Yeah financial issues

[glass nest]

Spent too much on Security?

I'm only messing. Have the old crew got anything else brewing you can jump onto?

[naive violet]

Hex, what's ya degree?

[silver sky]

Security and Risk Management

[naive violet]

Oooh

[silver sky]

Funnily enough at Portsmouth Uni

[naive violet]

Well if you fancy a move down here, lmk

Can I DM, Hex?

[silver sky]

Sure

[glass nest]

Hehe, I went there for a year. And I had an unconditional offer to do a Masters in forensics from there

[blazing granite]

I have a tech side too, I worked help desk, tech support, and I even did some IT consulting in TLV the idea it's get a job that pays in dollars so here in Argentina with the exchange I'll be king and I also could help my mum a bit

[naive violet]

@glass nest I got a lighter for paracord and heatshrink, pain in the butt

[glass nest]

In the same couple of weeks, I also go a job offer for grad entry for the forensic job. Was a really tough choice at the time

[blazing granite]

I love Forensics

[glass nest]

Have a flat peice of metal (Spoon, small knife) so when you melt the end of the cord, you can flatten it without 3rd degree burns 😄

Rex, It is one of those.. Fun to learn, and when you are actually doing real live cases is REALLY interesting

[silver sky]

Or just have asbestos fingers like me

[glass nest]

Wow, 1840. I should probably drive home

[naive violet]

[delicate reef]

thoughts on va panels?

[sick lance]

Not as good as plasterboard.

[boreal scarab]

One issue running into so far, is I can't copy and paste commands into the Spice Javascript client, and since the VM is seperated on my network, I can't SSH to it to easily copy and paste commands.

That... and I can't fucking type -

[naive violet]

Fast IPS is similarly cheap and doesn't have such sucky colours

[buoyant tree]

u using vmware?

[blazing granite]

I love the field as a whole, but I only delve into when I was in uni and Computer forensics on my own.

[naive violet]

Jumpbox time

[boreal scarab]

TrueNAS Scale, hosting a VM

[blazing granite]

I also read a few Forensic anthropology papers, fascinating subject

[glass nest]

Rex - The HUGE negative is that as soon as you are involved in the process in anyway, You can be summoned to court as a 'Professional Witness'. And usually they would call everyone possible using what they call 'Defense of bodies'. If John can't make it, Well - our whole case hinges on Johns work, so we need to postpone y'r honour.

[grizzled wing]

so glad i know about cyber security and using VirusTotal ! Been busy with archive.org and keep scanning whatever i download and stay cautious (all of the downloads are for VMs)

[glass nest]

So I'd get the summons on a monday for the following monday, Then at about 1630 on Friday, I get a call saying I wasn't needed.

Only had to physically go to court twice

[blazing granite]

[blazing granite]

@grizzled wing I'm in Argentina 🙂 I made it to my mum's birthday 🥳

[glass nest]

Our witness statments were templates - 'Got exhibit ABC-1 at <time, date>. Opened it, extracted info, resealed at <time, Date>. Put info on a CD exhibit Esqy-1 and sent to the officer-in-charge'.

[boreal scarab]

If anything, i can have the VM use the main network for now so I can get it configured, and once done, move it off main and onto it's VLAN..... but if I have to do stuff on it, then I still need SSH access, or copy and paste functionality

[grizzled wing]

that is good news!

[naive violet]

Heh OIC

[glass nest]

Hehe, Thats the term!

Most of the OICs were cool though. HMRC/Border police were a bit more... 'Don't care, extract everything' So they'd get ringtones, default wallpapers, everything.

[boreal scarab]

or.... I can just enable it access to intranet on my router side, so when I need to do work on it, flick that switch, SSH to it, do my job, flick it off, boom

[glass nest]

Sounds like that server needs a Pentest...I might know some people...

[quick cipher]

[worldly summit]

Hey I have a problem with a pc I’ve just built. So I click the button to turn the pc on, ram, case fans and gpu starts flashing its rgb lights. CPU cooler and case fans are working but nothing is happening. I mean for the 20-30 seconds monitors don’t show anything and it looks like pc is waiting for gpu fans to start working. Until gpu fans don’t start working then pc will not turn on fully. Anyone knows why is that?

[bitter quiver]

Plethora of possible issues. From something like ram not being seated, to GPU not being seated or not having power plugged in.

[crude stump]

You ever tried smashing it

[bitter quiver]

I have fixed an old PC before with repeated knee blows to it's face plate

[worldly summit]

Everything works tho

I mean besides this one thing

[bitter quiver]

Obviously something isn't

[crude stump]

Ikr it’s crazy

[bitter quiver]

I miss when technology was built like a tank and you threaten it into working with violence lol

[crude stump]

You might want to take it to a actual computer store and have them diagnose it

[worldly summit]

Well my gpu is connected to the power if it is working

[bitter quiver]

A computer not booting that was just built is really far easier to diagnose hands on

Motherboard have status lights and did you cross reference the manual?

[flat hamlet]

no beeps whatsoever?

[worldly summit]

Beeps?

It does not beep

[bitter quiver]

It has no mouth, but must scream.

[crude stump]

My ps5 gets angry when I turn it on

[flat hamlet]

Does new Mobos not beep when theres an issue ? am i too old ?

[worldly summit]

If u mean a white little light in the corner of the motherboard then it’s on the moment monitors starting to show smth

[bitter quiver]

Not all systems beep anymore lol

[bitter quiver]

Depending on the mobo, many have a little series of lights that can indicate basic info

[flat hamlet]

your best bet would be Unplug everything and replug everything, if it still doesnt go on, then u need to go to a pc shop so they can troubleshoot each part alone

[bitter quiver]

In your situation my first step is removing and reinstalling everything.
Second step is replacing parts 1 by 1 with known good parts.

Hardware troubleshooting can suck and be time consuming

[flat hamlet]

also check the little pins on ur mobo, sometimes missmatching some can cause issues (its in the mobo manual)

[bitter quiver]

Ah the goold old days when a server won't boot but has dozens of sticks of memory

[flat hamlet]

Good luck finding the bad one

smtimes the mf would beep because they are not on the right channel, like u forget and mismatch the channels

[bitter quiver]

Yeah but it's generally difficult to cross channels thanks to color coding

Then again

I had a tech on my team drill into a laptop battery

So

I don't judge

I believe people can and will do anything

[flat hamlet]

Natural selection

[bitter quiver]

Natural "do you know how much paperwork I have to do now because of you" career limiting selection.

[flat hamlet]

IT department now run on tickets, i needed my bios battery changed once because when my work laptop died it reset the clock and everything, Lord behold he left me on read for 2 months and counting now

"Open a ticket and wait, do not message me"

[bitter quiver]

Screw driver time

[flat hamlet]

oh i aint opening company property laptop

they are leasing them so i dont wanna mess with that

[bitter quiver]

I popped open my work laptop at that same place and upgraded the ram, had one of our engineers use his HDD cloner to clone my HDD to an SSD.

IT lady was cool with it

Ah

Ours were owned, and less than "new"

[flat hamlet]

Im on a constant war with the sysadmin because he keeps blocking all the "High seas" website i watch stuff on

i discover a new site -> he blocks it -> i find a new one

[bitter quiver]

I don't use my work laptop for anything but work, and spotify

[flat hamlet]

i wouldnt be surprised if he sometimes come to the open space to slap me one day

[flat hamlet]

Well had to sell my personnal pc for some reasons and now i dont have a pc beside the work one

[bitter quiver]

Ouch

[flat hamlet]

and i wouldnt want to run kali on my steamdeck either

[bitter quiver]

SOrry man

You aren't running Kali on a work laptop are you?

[flat hamlet]

so the cloud machines by THM were godsent

[flat hamlet]

"Shhhh its only a live usb ;)"

[bitter quiver]

lol. Just be safe man

[flat hamlet]

they have this hardware control software that doesnt let u plug any external devices

[bitter quiver]

I still wouldn't

[flat hamlet]

so i had to go through FTP for file transfers, which worked for a while until it got too tedious

[bitter quiver]

Save up and snag a cheap used laptop or such

[flat hamlet]

i could get a i7 6th 8gb ram for dirt cheap like 200$

refurbished

[bitter quiver]

Do that and keep your job safe.

[flat hamlet]

Jokes aside, you would get in trouble for doing what i'm doing ?

even if its just THM so Cloud based machines

[bitter quiver]

Generally from my experience reading over contracts, any physical manipulation of the loaded OS would definitely.

As for the cloud machine use might not be an issue at all. Unless they audit you and ding you for non-work use.

Even if they don't care right now, it can be a nice record for them if they suddenly need to reduce staff.

I always follow a work mantra that puts me above the easily disposable staff

Were all disposable. But make them actually have to work for the justificaiton lol.

[flat hamlet]

I've read the contract, they allow non-work use to a limit

whats the limit? i dont know

[bitter quiver]

It's what they define in their time of need

[flat hamlet]

Which is ?

[glass nest]

Ahh the beauty of a vague 'fair use' policy 😄

[bitter quiver]

A sliding scale that benefits the company in the end

[bitter quiver]

Kinda like infinite PTO policies eh?

[glass nest]

Zactly

[flat hamlet]

well i was indisposable until they added 3 people to my team which i taught and brought them up to the same level of skill i have, now i'm disposable

[glass nest]

Which plays into your thing aswell. Any 'taking advantage' will be noted and used against you in a court of law

[bitter quiver]

I sometimes make myself disposable, but as my entire skill set of developing teams. Result is instead I get moved around to implement Six Sigma concepts and standardize processes.

Being disposable is a valid skill set when you do it right lol

[bitter quiver]

Yep. That's why I avoid it.

If I'm going to talk on Discord, it's phone or personal system for example

[worldly summit]

Alr I checked the led debug lights and it looks like for the 15 seconds after the clicking a button motherboard shows that dram is not connected and cpu is not connected, then it disappears, it shows that gpu is not connected and second after it boots whole pc

[bitter quiver]

I'm working right now

[flat hamlet]

i do have a small laptop with mx linux on it, shit has an old 1ghz amd processor, in an effort to make it usable i added 8gb of ram and an SSD, but oh boi 1ghz of CPU power IS NOT enough in 2024

[bitter quiver]

Back in my day with my 8 mb Tridant 3D blade card

I had to wait, and I had to like it too

https://tenor.com/view/up-carl-fredrickson-old-stiff-arthritis-gif-26296416

[flat hamlet]

Wait isnt Discord encrypted ? they can log my conversations if i use discord on navigator?

beside a keylogger i dont see how ?

[glass nest]

I just read them and remember them. Logged.

[naive violet]

It's HTTPS but nothing more

[bitter quiver]

They can see you are using it. And a great deal of company security software can take occasional screen shots.

Most companies don't go as far as keylogging, but they technically can

[flat hamlet]

i'm starting to not like this as i'm leaning toward my credit card to order that cheap 200$ refurbished lenovo

[bitter quiver]

Best to always seperate work and personal

[naive violet]

Organizations often man-in-the-middle TLS

[flat hamlet]

Meaning ?

[glass nest]

Ugh. so unmotivated right now.

[naive violet]

Meaning they can see the plaintext traffic

[bitter quiver]

Everything you do on your system goes through their network and is entirely visible to them.

[flat hamlet]

We usually go through Netskope as a VPN and Crowdstrike Falcon for device sec

[glass nest]

Oh, @shut hawk Were you looking at those IQ-test logic puzzle things earlier?

[flat hamlet]

Same visibility as ur ISP ?

[bitter quiver]

More usually because they have access to your laptop at a software/hardware level and can call on info depending what software they have installed and running.

Do you have productivity software as well?

[flat hamlet]

Like ?

[bitter quiver]

Many companies who offer remote/hybrid jobs, and some micromanaging ones who are purely on site run software that tracks what employees are doing on their systems.

It can by as minor as occasional logs to almosy full on mirroring of everyone on a dash

[opal crag]

[shut hawk]

oh, yeah? was wondering if it was normal for job applications to do them

[flat hamlet]

Did i read that right ? anal Jobs ?

[bitter quiver]

Nuuuuuuuuuu

[flat hamlet]

sorry couldnt focus on the rest

[bitter quiver]

Fixed

[flat hamlet]

i was like what is the relation between Remote jobs and ANAL

hahahahahahah

[glass nest]

@shut hawk Ahh. ok. I got a game on the Humble bundle called 'Mind Bending Masterpeices' called 'Taiju'... Puzzles in that remind me a lot of those challenges

[wintry sluice]

perhaps the formal name is Remote Inspection and Monitoring Job

[shut hawk]

oh, send away - I love doing them

[flat hamlet]

But from what i've seen its pretty chill here

[glass nest]

It's on the Bundle 😄

[flat hamlet]

they just route all traffic through a VPN with a site blocker, didnt see any more logging, how could i check if its being logged

[glass nest]

@shut hawk https://www.humblebundle.com/games/mindbending-masterpieces

superliminal is fun aswell

[shut hawk]

thanks!

[bitter quiver]

Hard to do. I always just assume I'm watched.

Easier/simpler that way

Don't like anxiety

[flat hamlet]

Imma stick to the attackbox for now until i get a personnal pc, if all arises i'm just doing a cybersec course on THM

[flat hamlet]

i take SSRIs for that stuff

[bitter quiver]

I just started an SSNI

First week I was wired like a crackhead, for 2 weeks after that I slept all day, then since then I've been focused and capable.

I also take it for fibromyalgia though

It's nice to mitigate pain

[flat hamlet]

is that some new update ?

[rapid merlin]

is taking notes necessary when reading through Areas of defensive security

[bitter quiver]

No lol

[rapid merlin]

how do you guys remember all of that information

[bitter quiver]

"SSRIs work by increasing levels of just one type of neurotransmitter (serotonin) whereas SNRIs increase levels of two types of brain chemicals, noradrenaline and serotonin"

[bitter quiver]

Repetition

[flat hamlet]

i do, i use Notion for note taking

[bitter quiver]

I use One Note

[rapid merlin]

notion vs hand written notes

[flat hamlet]

as an academic written notes make u remember stuff WAY MORE, but notion is convenient for copy paste

[timber galleon]

You apply it. THM is really good because it has active learning where it will test how well you understood the information.
There’s flashcards too.
I also found you can do practice questions online for a certificate that has the topics you just learned

[boreal scarab]

I'm just so happy that the network VLAN is finished. Now to debate if I need to add a dedicated FW server or not

[cosmic pendant]

Vlans are cool

[blazing granite]

you can get books recommendations in #bookclub

[lost rivet]

Quick question, does premium also offer faster VPNs or are they the same as the free tier?

[naive violet]

Private to only VIP users

So only faster by virtue of that

[boreal scarab]

Very, my VLAN's can't see into my main network, and I can't see into it (The way I like it)

[outer hound]

One of the reasons I subscribed because on free vpn nmap scanning never ends 🤷

[glass nest]

Kinda. your nmap scan show you what doors exist. You then use your skillz and knowledge to knock on those doors and try to gain access. Depending on what you see will depend on what your next step is. See an http port (like 80) open? pop onto a web browser and see if theres a site.

And yes, you see FTP? there are a few basic things to try first.

This, over time, will become your 'methodology'

and is why notes are so important

[wintry sluice]

nmap can also tell sometimes tell you what exactly is running on open ports

[glass nest]

Yup. Thats where you play with nmap settings and built-in scripts

Nope. nmap is 'informaton gathering'. what you do with that information depends on what it is.

And thats what all the other THM rooms are for 😄

[loud marlin]

nmap can tell/show you open ports. and if ports is set as default for services you can tell waht service it is. and you can change port for each service

change port for service

FTP by defaulkt is port 21

[glass nest]

You can host a website but it doesnt have to be on port 80.

[loud marlin]

you canb set custom, or non default port, to some other

[glass nest]

In fact, CCTV systems regularly use 81 and 8080 for their web UI

[wintry sluice]

there are industry standards for what protocols run on certain ports.
but there is no requirement that a server adheres to them.

[loud marlin]

yes

https://www.wikiwand.com/en/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers

[glass nest]

Lets say you have 5 different web services - one for the public, one for CCTV, one for suppliers, Staff portal and a Members area. you COULD build all that into one site, OR have them on different ports and serpeate. so you'd have http://10.10.10.x:8080

There are standards - Like a web browser will look at port 80 by default

Like that list Ralex linked.

[wintry sluice]

or 443 for https

[glass nest]

Means that tools can be used (Not just hacking tools, legitimate things for productivity) and can point to the most likely ports

[finite basalt]

Am absolutely speed running slow cooked pulled pork

[lament tendon]

I also love waiting faster.

[finite basalt]

been in for 4 1/2 hours so far and it's nearly ready, threw it in and it's on 220c rn because I want to eat it tonight

also remembered apple cider vinegar this time so I've mixed some of that with some chicken broth, threw in some smashed garlic and half an onion and rubbed the pork in paprika, salt, rosemary and thyme. Shits gorgeous

[finite basalt]

gotta get that flavour 😎

[glass nest]

sounds like you've really gone for it though Burrish

[finite basalt]

It's cooked, so I've flipped it, removed the foil and am getting some colour on the other side and getting the other side nice and juicy

[glass nest]

also 4.5 hrs is a sunk cost.. you sure you wanna rush it on the final stretch?

[finite basalt]

I literally got in from work at like 16:40, got it all ready and in by 5pm

[glass nest]

(I can't cook, so I'm winging this)

[finite basalt]

Yeah I've work tomorrow and am going to have some tonight some tomorrow night

[glass nest]

Get it ready the night before, and leave it while you're at work 😄

[finite basalt]

I'd love to leave it longer but I need scran and it tastes good now anyway

[finite basalt]

Yeah, I was going to and then ended up in a rush

but that apple cider vinegar's carrying, I forgot to buy some last time (when I first tried making it) left it for about 10 hours low and slow and it was great but it was missing something flavour wise (as much as it was tasty)

[glass nest]

I borrowed my moms slow cooker ages ago. Feel like I should use it for something. apprently its mostly as easy as throwing a bunch of stuff in, pressing go and leaving it for hours

[finite basalt]

I'm doing mine in the oven 🤣

I debated getting a slow cooker but I wouldn't use it enough

[wintry sluice]

pretty much. some veg, some stock, and some mince. perhaps a couple of mushrooms.

[finite basalt]

I think based on current flavour I'd either leave it longer next time or add a little more of the apple cider but it's amazing, reminds me somewhat of the butchers I'd go to and their pulled puck sandwiches which is what I was going for

[glass nest]

I legit googled 'Can I put anything in a stew?' the other day. i wanna empty out my freezer, got a bunch of veg in there

[finite basalt]

Got some par-bakes to throw in as well later and so I'll put it on some crusty bread with some paxo cranberry and chestnut stuffing and apple sauce

[glass nest]

Don't tell my family. As we are all Irish, I may be disowned for not ever making a stew 😄

[finite basalt]

My mum's irish and I love her stew but I don't really like potatos in stew as much as it's heracy to not 🤣

Not a fan of potato in soup either unless it's blended

[wintry sluice]

baked potato is best potato. with a crispy skin 🤤

[finite basalt]

Love a good soup but I love a smooth soup

[glass nest]

A half remembered fact - Doesnt potato serve a function? reduces salty flavour in a stew?

[finite basalt]

Baked potato is quite good but I can make banging roasties

[finite basalt]

Reduces the saltiness and adds starch which can help thicken it iirc

[wintry sluice]

roasties are rather tasty too

[finite basalt]

I learnt from my mum that a little sesame oil on roast potatos is amazing
Like just a drizzle over the top

[glass nest]

Roasted parsnips though... mmmmmmmmm

Especially burned a little around the edges

Fo drizzle 😄

My Mom cooked a ham in coca cola a while back. Then scored the skin, rubbed in brown sugar and then grilled it. That was soooo gods damned nice.

[finite basalt]

ooh very nice

[glass nest]

Literally, my brother asks her to cook one for his family every year on xmas

[finite basalt]

Yeah i've heard of cooking in cola before, and heard it can have amazing results

[wintry sluice]

coca cola? 😬

[glass nest]

Yup.

apparently 'one of Nigellas'

[finite basalt]

the acidity tenderises it and the sugar helps create a sweet glaze iirc

[glass nest]

or the sorcery used to create coca cola is imbued into the meat.

[finite basalt]

So you get a sort of sweet and tangy result which is very tender, never tried it but heard good things

[glass nest]

Either one is a legit theory

[finite basalt]

Have you heard about pineapple being used to tenderise steaks?

It's amazing how things can interact with each other when cooking

[glass nest]

Never. although to me a steak is... a steak. peppercorn or Blue Cheese sauce, if I'm feeling fancy

[finite basalt]

yeah it's got enzymes in it which help break down the steak and tenderise it

[languid radish]

[blazing granite]

why want to do that to the pizza 😂 pizza it's amazing the way it is

[sand trench]

if you want atroscities of pizza look at swedish kebab pizza which has iceberg lettuce on it

[whole yew]

I know some folks who grill lettuce

I can't really taste a difference though

[sand trench]

it is a full salad with kebab sauce and kebab meat on a pizza

it is so weird

[left pebble]

[winged summit]

Holy eff, I just worked super hard for like 3 hours straight. I’m exhausted

Like, I went hard af

[left pebble]

time for some grilled lettuce

[winged summit]

Exactly my thoughts

Lol

I’ve been craving lettuce all day. It’s just what I need

[left pebble]

[winged summit]

Deep fried lettuce

[boreal scarab]

Don't think I have that

[blazing granite]

Chardonnay also good

[buoyant tree]

Anybody here wanna help me shorten a list of 6 laptop's down to 1

[boreal scarab]

[fast inlet]

i'll buy 2 for 10 bucks

[blazing granite]

A Soft, light body PN can work

[boreal scarab]

I really need to create a wine collection document and share it with you @blazing granite

[blazing granite]

Cava, Champagne, Prosecco, Riesling can work too

[boreal scarab]

All the wine we have, vintage, just so I know what's what, where's where

[blazing granite]

[buoyant tree]

[steady pond]

[stray cargo]

Hi all, the Holo & Wreath room have lots of questions and I wonder if it is feasible to do a few every day or it is better to run it all the way?

I mean without having to redo all questions already answered?

[molten sky]

you're asking if you can do some now some later?

yes

your progress on the target machine itself will be lost, if any, but the questions themselves will remain answered

[stray cargo]

Thanks, so it means i will have to redo all or some of them (completed) to continue?

[crude stump]

you can do some of one task and some of others but you need to finish every question of every task to be able to get the badge

[stray cargo]

understood, i wanted only to understand if would have to redo questions to continue where i left. i seems its not like a permanent progress (questions will be answered, but to continue task 10 as an exemple I would need to redo task 1-9 )

[crude stump]

it is permanent progress. You can do any question you like. lets say there are 10 tasks and i want to to the very last task. i can do that one and leave the others unanswered.

[crude stump]

and to answer your question no you dont have to redo questions. they save once you complete them

[lost rivet]

o.o

[crude stump]

how much did you remember

[stray cargo]

Thank you for your answers!!

[crude stump]

your welcome

[stray cargo]

Thanks

Can do 160 but I keep getting 90%~ accuracy

I'd say, online playground for technical people to practice security best-practices in a safe environment

[molten sky]

just reply with hackertyper.com

[sinful moon]

Ah localization woes, GG Microsoft. Yes I would like to unpostcode one file please

[molten sky]

oh shit they mean zip

that took me a sec

[sinful moon]

||zip being replaced with postcode due to British english find and replace in localization||

lol indeed

I'm not a UK Windows user but this is far from the first time I've seen this online, cracks me up

[molten sky]

tangent, but i made my powershell accept yaml 😶

can't believe it's not native

only json is dumb

[buoyant tree]

.7postcode files are now the new standard

[molten sky]

kinda wanna start using that tbh

[sinful moon]

lol default open with 7zip will still do. Indeed

Think 7zip has a clear magic header

[buoyant tree]

eh u can do it technically with any file

[molten sky]

yeah but why would i 7postcode a txt file

[buoyant tree]

yea probably although was thinking about manually unzipping it by specifying archive type

[sinful moon]

mhmm, the file utility on Linux usually tells you

Because what even is an extention on Linux c:

[buoyant tree]

yea

also have u played deadspace?

the modern remake

[sinful moon]

I got about half way through the original game back in the day before getting bored

[buoyant tree]

hmm

Also watched the thing

quite realistic visuals

[sinful moon]

Althoug fair The Thing and Deadspace dovetail nicely

glad you enjoyed it

[buoyant tree]

dovetail?

[buoyant tree]

yup and the 4k is literally stunning

barely any grain

even

[sinful moon]

one thing following or being linked to another

[buoyant tree]

oh k

almost finished Harry Dresden also, on book 16

[brisk tree]

morning

[sinful moon]

The 4K release actually does have a decent bit of grain but totally sane 35mm style

[molten sky]

m

[buoyant tree]

mornin'

[brisk tree]

hows everyone getting on today

[buoyant tree]

yea

[buoyant tree]

good right now, terrible before (had to be tech support for a few hours for relatives)

[sinful moon]

lol just mean that to say, old movies inherently have grain due to being filmed on... film, and scanned in.

It's typically how much processing and digitial noise reduction was done which decided how much (or which film stock). Most good remastere preserve the grain but it's not obtrustive in that it's "clustered"

[buoyant tree]

Yea but like a few its quite clear grain

But in the thing its just not as visible

[brisk tree]

oh no thats not good. i always have my relatives come to me with tech problems

[buoyant tree]

and the thing is the best name I could do

[buoyant tree]

Somehow they all got the same malware on thier PC's and now its my task somehow to remove it

[sinful moon]

Seeing the grain is usually the sign of a good rip or restoration. I'd be a bit questioning if you don't see grain in many of your UHD remasters, but fair also laptop screen I'd venture

[buoyant tree]

Like I can't describe the movie better than the thing although the name of the movie is about the thing which is a movie about the thing which is the thing

[brisk tree]

my previous landlord asked me for advice after someone supposidly hacked his tinder

😂

[buoyant tree]

nice

[brisk tree]

when you tell people youre in cyber do they do the wee hand thing

[buoyant tree]

yea

[buoyant tree]

Like its a grain level thing

2001 and robocop had more

but the thing had less

[sinful moon]

I'm petting my kitty but it's both inherent to the print and what processing was done

[buoyant tree]

Also going to be watching the dollars triology next month

[buoyant tree]

You got a kitty?

[sinful moon]

Good prints have more since they're preserving detail

[buoyant tree]

it seemed like a good mix

[brisk tree]

got 52 things to find in metasploitable 2 for my internship this week

[buoyant tree]

should be easy for you

[brisk tree]

yeah it will be fun

load sof nmap scans

[buoyant tree]

eh switch to rustscan for a lil more speed if u doing so many things

[brisk tree]

yeah i will do

just need to work out what they keys are to press to get my curser back to desktop because its not the normal one for kali

[buoyant tree]

hmm

[brisk tree]

its usually Ctrl+Alt but that isnt working ahaha

oh i dont need to click in i can just type thats good

[outer hound]

I quickly looked at the rustscan github docs but didn't find: does it support like nmaps --script vulns?

[spice adder]

Rustscans good, I forget to use it a lot of the time tho

The plague of habit. Using the same tools for the rest of my life to perform reconnaissance

Like making a subway order. Ima look at the menu and get the same shit I ordered for the past 8 years

[quick cipher]

what would you guys recommend to be the best modules for someone learning web exploitation for CTFs?

okay thanks a lot!

[molten sky]

idk who saw the Sherlock drama last week

but the devs published a release v69 with an exe in response

[buoyant tree]

yes

a guy called everyone on github stinky nerds

so he wanted .exe's

instead of .py

[junior wraith]

oh noes 🙂

[buoyant tree]

eh thats different

https://www.reddit.com/r/github/comments/1at9br4/i_am_new_to_github_and_i_have_lots_to_say

not a active ctf

a retired one

[junior wraith]

did anyone send a ".exe"? 🙂

[molten sky]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/1aun5zj/stupidfuckingsmellynerds/

didn't even notice that one, lol

love his sign off too

So, herby, I request, in order to be more culturated, to add [..] sites to Sherlock.

Best regards,
a fucking degenerated

lmfao -

i applied for a role at this company the other day, and very quickly got a "we're not moving forward" email

[lament tendon]

I can guarantee that they do not check the source code for anything they wouldn‘t like anyways.

Scrolling further up makes me feel like I missed the joke. 😅

[narrow phoenix]

Anyone here tried the Seattle V0.3 ctf?

[sick lance]

No, is it hard?

[glass nest]

Well as a V0.3 it's probably not finished 😄

[narrow phoenix]

Not that hard just simple sqlmap and burpsuite work

But getting to the root is my problem right now.

[sick lance]

Ah, you should be like a chameleon and blend in with your peers for help.

[narrow phoenix]

Not sure about that it was published at 2016.

[glass nest]

Hehe

Have you managed to grab the flag?

[narrow phoenix]

I was able to get the admin credentials, but escalating to root not yet.

Still trying

[glass nest]

So the admin doesnt have root?

[narrow phoenix]

Yes

The ssh isn't working for the both of them

[glass nest]

Bet that was a rollercoaster of emotion!

[narrow phoenix]

It is

[glass nest]

If you got admin, there might be some SUID things you can exploit

[narrow phoenix]

I actually have the supposed root credentials but it isn't working when I enter it in the machine.

[glass nest]

Huh.

[narrow phoenix]

Exactly.

[glass nest]

Can the admin access the shadow file?

[narrow phoenix]

yes

[glass nest]

And not able to get root from there?

[narrow phoenix]

Ah, mb it can just access the passwd

[chilly veldt]

Reeeeee

[glass nest]

Karma - the description on vulnhub lists what it's vulnerable to.

Whatchu reeing about Bella?

Still annoyed that I mixed CCNA up with CCNP?

[chilly veldt]

no, school being boring

[glass nest]

I've now learned to read more than 3 characters in a course description 😄

Karma - Keep chipping away at it, looks like there may be a few different vectors of explotiation on this one

[narrow phoenix]

I actually found a walkthrough showing all the results of the vulnerabilities. But they do not show the exact way on how to get to the root. Just literally showing the root credentials and that is it.

Yeah I am trying to find solution

[chilly veldt]

and the datacenter is full of people

[glass nest]

Eew. Not people!

[chilly veldt]

yeahhh, cause then I can't work on my switches

and routers

[glass nest]

Thats just rude of them

Pro tip, keep both of your front teeth whole and you avoid alot of mess

How are you peeps

[languid radish]

just woke up and groggy

hello there

[spring siren]

Hello everyone! I am starting to learn SOC, but I have a challenge with the first question on the pre-security pathway. (What will be your role as a Junior Security Analyst?) Can somebody help, please?

[gritty zephyr]

It should all be in the text 🙂

[languid radish]

@spring siren if you carefully read the documentation you can easily answer the question

[gritty zephyr]

#pre-security-legacy-path for further path questions

[languid radish]

like @gritty zephyr told it is often given in the text

[solemn quail]

Which room do you suggest after finishing Jr Pentester?

[spring siren]

I have read through the documentation and I have been entering the answer but still giving incorrect answer as response, I'm done with other questions and I got them correctly

[gritty zephyr]

Pentest plus, redteaming etc

[gritty zephyr]

If you just want to move on with the rest search up a walkthrough of that specific room

[narrow phoenix]

Finally able to reach the root, I fell into a rabbithole after all 🥳

[glass nest]

Good Work, Karma

[rapid merlin]

hi everyone
i just wanted to ask if it's better to invest in a premium vpn plan or stick with the free plan, some friends told me that my data will be threatened if i use free vpn

[mossy river]

That your what?

Your data?

[gritty zephyr]

Yeah i think he meant data

[rapid merlin]

yeah

[mossy river]

Ask your friend why

[gritty zephyr]

Really depends on vpn provider if im not mistaken, some use your data, some dont i believe

But dont quote me on that, im a newb

[mossy river]

There’s data protection laws and most VPN providers have a “piracy” guarantee

I’m curious on what your friend means by your data will be threatened

[gritty zephyr]

Thats true

[gritty zephyr]

Sold in the ways that are possible maybe?

[mossy river]

Unless you consent, they can’t sell your data

[rapid merlin]

his true location was exposed somehow

[gritty zephyr]

Again, true, i feel stupid lol

Eh im learning that is what counts

[mossy river]

I don’t think your friend is a trustworthy source of information

[rapid merlin]

well yea maybe lol he's an i don't deny that

[mossy river]

Nah we’re not discussing that here

[rapid merlin]

We can't?

[mossy river]

Correct

[rapid merlin]

Ohh alr

[languid radish]

@rapid merlin yes

[mossy river]

You will be muted if you discuss this

[hollow pivot]

I wouldn't go with a free version, as there is often a reason why it's free. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ql2vPGxe5Wg&pp=ygURc2V5dG9uaWMgZnJlZSB2cG4%3D

[languid radish]

Private meaning they are literally set to private
