[glass nest]

ok, so only read the end of that sentance then

[bleak dagger]

its not just anki

theres few websites i can access for example

[glass nest]

ok. And thats because the school don't deem them needed for your education. If you feel it's needed, then contact your teacher

[bleak dagger]

i did

[glass nest]

ok. then you've done all you can. There's no hacking this thing. Just work with the tools you have.

[bleak dagger]

i was able to get discord

i dont remember how

[glass nest]

excellent 🙂

[bleak dagger]

it doesnt work for anki idk why

[glass nest]

I've said why.

[bleak dagger]

why cant i do more

[glass nest]

Ask your school why you can't.

[bleak dagger]

im not trying to be annoying i just want software

[glass nest]

OR ask them for written permission to hack the computer

[naive violet]

@bleak dagger We are not going to help you bypass these restrictions

It's clearly not actually your device, as it is administered by the school

[bleak dagger]

ok

[naive violet]

Please stop discussing it here as it'd be illegal/unethical to do that

honestly, Mr. Robot has been one of the more fun rooms. It showcases a lot of techniques and that room actually got me into watching the tv series

[spice adder]

Yea people loved it in the cyber clinic. Fan favourite. Great box for beginners too. Really helps get foundational practice with manual reconnaissance and easy code injection

[glass nest]

Bad - did it encourage you to buy a black hoodie?

[carmine sedge]

...it might have...

[glass nest]

and to constantly talk like you've just woken up?

[naive violet]

Urban camo hoodie >>>>> black hoodie

[spice adder]

Mr robot is great fun too! Fantastic show. I’d already seen the series but boy do I wish I could watch it for the first time again

[glass nest]

Haha

[carmine sedge]

I like to call that my female mate call

[naive violet]

[sick lance]

[glass nest]

stuub - I could only watch it for a bit. the camera work was... of putting. Persons head in one corner with the rest of the screen empty.

Maybe that was the point

[carmine sedge]

Man, the show is so wild. But It makes me appreciate all of the rooms that have been dedicated to Mr. Robot in try hack me

[finite folio]

Hey everyone, in my company we basically have to on board a few vanilla windows computers that we cant manage through AD because of the image source however we have to onboard them as safely and as securely as possible, windows management is not my strong suit but I still want to do this task. If any one has any experience on the topic or has any insight I am glad to go into more details and get the community's opinion

[rapid merlin]

how to start bug hunting for real websites (not only ctf's)?

[carmine sedge]

sounds like you need an rmm

[rapid merlin]

and how to connect discord to tryhackme?

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @sharp citrus (current: #231 - 22)

[shut hawk]

vroooom

[finite folio]

That will definitely be implemented but I feel like there is much more to do

we dont trust the image sources

or that the users will regularly update

or them with admin rights

[finite folio]

can you expand on that please

[rapid merlin]

.

dayum

[glass nest]

It worked, Kuba 🙂

[carmine sedge]

oh I am not going to lie, it is a bit of work. But yeah, a decent rmm is where you need to start. It can handle patching, you can deploy items through scripts, ect. As for Admin rights, I would never in a million years give any standard user Admin rights. Plus that violates NIST Guidelines anyways

[shut hawk]

https://www.hackerone.com/
https://www.bugcrowd.com/

sure, checkout the links above - sign up to them and you'll see a list of websites with active programs which you can then scour for bugs

[naive violet]

Sounds like they shouldn't be on your network

[finite folio]

It is kinda of complicated, the business department trusts them but we in IT think they could be OR could be used as attack vectors so we want to limit everything and take our precautions

[carmine sedge]

exactly right

[finite folio]

So we want to develop policies and guidlines for how to safely onboard vanilla os while we are at it

[naive violet]

So don't give them access to company resources.
I'm worried it'd trash your compliance

[carmine sedge]

Easy solution. Take a waiver over to the business department leader and tell them that not only does this disqualify you from cyber security insurance and its a not best practice, but that it is also a violation of policy and they personally assume all responsibility for what occurs after.

[finite folio]

One thing I am considering is creating an entire seperate VLAN for them with least prev

but its the OS part that scares me

having to constantly check of updates and stuff

[golden timber]

What should I buy with my $75 amazon credit? I was thinking 12 months of Mullvad

[naive violet]

Ngl that's outbound only access territory

[finite folio]

but i guess rmm makes it easier

[carmine sedge]

an RMM will take that worry away. LOL alright im done throwing out RMM

[rapid merlin]

pwnagotchi

[carmine sedge]

Truthfully any OS is dangerous in the hands of someone who doesn't care or isn't informed about cyber security

[rapid merlin]

rasbery pi 0 wh and e-ink screen

[golden timber]

i already have a flipper and 5 raspberry pi's

[rapid merlin]

nice

[golden timber]

and microcontrollers

and the packet squirrel

I love the packet squirrel..

[carmine sedge]

They would be complaining the second their computer turned on lmao

[finite folio]

Ill look into a good rmm and how to implement it, if you could name a user friendly one that would be amazing. even if its not free or open source its okay they will have to cover the cost

[finite folio]

Fax

[rapid merlin]

What can you do with it and what you did ?

[finite folio]

Oh yeah definetly, but throwing the blame and turning our backs would be "half assing" the job which we dont want to do

I mean lets do it well even for future occurences

[golden timber]

I set up a vpn gateway for remote access into my church's network, as the lead sound engineer / network admin, then I could do some remote network shenanigans

[carmine sedge]

no lie, never ever use an open source RMM. As for recommendations, I'm really careful about recommending products to be honest. There are good ones out there, like Connectwise, Datto, ect. Finding your right rmm is like fiinding your favorite flavor of linux tbh

[finite folio]

fair enough

[carmine sedge]

I can respect that. It is more of a "you really need to understand what you are asking for here"

[golden timber]

connectwise had a breach recently

[naive violet]

No that's risk transfer

[golden timber]

https://www.darkreading.com/remote-workforce/connectwise-screenconnect-mass-exploitation-delivers-ransomware

[finite folio]

Yeah, every IT principle you follow will tell you its a bad decision but at the end the business wants what the business wants

[naive violet]

What's wrong with an open source solution?

[golden timber]

^

[carmine sedge]

Yeah, I know. Unfortunately it was a bad one that is hard to defend

[carmine sedge]

nothing is wrong with open source solutions. But for something as critical and mass deployed as an RMM, I would never use a free open source solution. No support, no accountability, everyone can see the source code and look for vulns, I mean list goes on for that one.

[naive violet]

That last one is a benefit not a drawback.
Open source solutions can come with support contracts.

[finite folio]

you think we should draft a doc that says if anything bad happens that will trace back to them they should take responsability? i mean its not a bad idea tbh legal wise

[naive violet]

It needs to end up with your CISO IMO

[carmine sedge]

what makes it worse is how easy it was exploitable. You know that vuln was getting worked over long before anyone found it

[naive violet]

It's a huge amount of risk. Either that, or simply do not allow them access to your company resources.

Compliance or block it from the network

[finite folio]

ur totally right btw idk what i was thinking.. open source

[carmine sedge]

I guess its just dealers choice then. I personally would not recommend using a free OS project for an RMM.

[sand trench]

people that think closed source is more secure then open source software makes shadow go WUT

neither is really more secure by default

[carmine sedge]

Look, Shadow, I like hiding behind the beautiful bliss of ignorance and believing everything vendors tell me

[finite folio]

yeah but not in a corporate environment

[sand trench]

but in closed source you are betting on the few programmers that make the code to find and fix all the vulns instead of everyone that can read the open source code to do the same

does this mean people read all the open source code that is out there??? heck no

[buoyant tree]

eh when those people realize that programming languages are open source 99% of the time

[naive violet]

No that's wrong
Open source solutions can come with paid support contracts. It's Red Hat's whole business model.

[naive violet]

It's not the language, it's the product.

[carmine sedge]

I thought IBM bought the rights to red hat

[naive violet]

Yes. It hasn't changed the model.

[finite folio]

okay so before we steer off topic too much, im gonna make a list of critical points we need to focus on and everybody is free to add/comment

[carmine sedge]

Thats why we have the undeniable king, the code and savior, chat gpt. verions 3.5

[sand trench]

...

can't tell if joking or serious

[naive violet]

@finite folio Honestly if I was talking to a client about this, I'd spend a lot of time gathering requirements. What do these devices need? Why? Any access to company resources?

[golden timber]

Yeah I saw John Hammond's video on PoC and it was embarrassing

[finite folio]

verify the os image and source / implement and rmm for patch management / create a sperate VLAN isolated from company resources / revoke admin rights

[carmine sedge]

yeah but in 2023, red hat stopped making the source code public

[finite folio]

what about local policies ? isnt there something to be done there

[carmine sedge]

dude I cringed so bad... for granted John Hammond is the GOAT. but still.....

[finite folio]

ohhhh dw there will be a lot of that

[carmine sedge]

just ask chat-gpt

[finite folio]

they wont get 1 right above what they need

[naive violet]

It's still available to customers etc. It's still a support model of open source software (Linux)
Plenty of others but that was a widely known example.

[sand trench]

the making the source none public to none customers is heavily debated if it is legal or not

due to the source licenses

[carmine sedge]

honestly you are probably right. Im betting you know more than me, so I concede lol

[golden timber]

?

[finite folio]

enable secure boot and disable bios. never go wrong w that

[carmine sedge]

when I saw that 20 second video of 0 to hero

[golden timber]

oh the poc?

yeah it was bad

[carmine sedge]

yeah... Although when you see a hammond video pop up, and its under like 5 min. You know its real bad, because John will give you full tech breakdown

[golden timber]

Yeah

[carmine sedge]

yeah, password restrictions, history, length, requirements, ect

[finite folio]

some one give the the right to upvote xD

thank you bois, if anyone has and idea he can msg me it would really be appreciated ill update you whever i can

we only care about integrated dark mode

[willow quartz]

yes

[buoyant tree]

Nobody here uses white mode

the website should only have a dark mode

[devout palm]

Smh

[sand trench]

that is where the visually impaired get left out???

then again with the new light theme/mode some of the answer boxes are way to low contrast

[gritty zephyr]

big scary worms

very scary big worms

and some humanoids who thought it would be a good idea to settle there

for some godforsaken reason

[grizzled crystal]

They didn't exactly have a choice

They've adapted though it's cool

They ride the big worms

[gritty zephyr]

im just messing about, dont know that much

[gritty zephyr]

i saw that in the trailer yeah

[grizzled crystal]

Hehe I'm trying not to spoil anything

We don't provide public documentation for the API.

[odd vapor]

Ive looked into it a bit, but is anyone else getting lag in the SSH terminal in the Common Linux Privesc room? SSH was working fine until i got to task 8, where I suddenly started geting horrid terminal lag. At first I thought it was actually freezing, but when I went back after a few minutes to try something, I saw all the commands i tried to run when it wasnt showing up. It will work smoothly for a minute or so then starts lagging. Is this just me or has anyone else experienced it as well?

[lavish shell]

On some occasions I've had the issue, but for the most it typically runs well for me

[odd vapor]

yeah thats my experience as well, maybe just a bad day. Just wanted to see if it was something to do with the room or something i needed to fix on my end

We all have our own cup of tea

so you came to thm discord server and tell them in front of everybody. i don't like thm.

it's like going to the united state and tell them, i hate the united state.

so, they will say.

[pallid lotus]

And in both of those instances the opinion should be respected

[rapid merlin]

ok and then ?

you will say okey

[crude stump]

Aye we all have our own opinion

[rapid merlin]

and everyone goes happy

yeah, we can put our opinion with much more respectful manner i guess.

there are contact form and suggestions to make anything that may not look good, better.

[lavish shell]

Besides attitudes you all gotta change that shit on your own

[rapid merlin]

i have a friend that tells me about cisco netcad the same thing. that there courses are not good

[lavish shell]

THM is a lot better than some other places

there are people that can learn by reading and practice. while other by watching. so if you preffer watching i guess THM is not the best option for you.

[slim rain]

Yep, why?

[pallid lotus]

Given the context, which of those do you think is more likely?

[pallid lotus]

That would be lovely, but I'm increasingly convinced it's antithetical to human nature

[rapid merlin]

Sums up the health insurance

My tax return only gave me back $175 out of all the money they took 😭

[rapid merlin]

[lavish shell]

It's ok, I treat everyone online as if they were AI. If they don't respond well, I just tweak the conversation a bit to alter their responses 😂

[bitter quiver]

That's how I treat humans in general

[rapid merlin]

Changing my name to AI Aiko now

[bitter quiver]

You alter the input to get desired output

That's what dating is

Business

[pallid lotus]

Well, that's not creepy at all

*sigh*

[rapid merlin]

Wth lol

😭

HELP

[lavish shell]

Lmao, no man with dating you get a hell of a lot more input than output haha

[rapid merlin]

You have been reading too much robert greeene books

[bitter quiver]

Is business not a series of exhcanges of risk/reward that is impacted by how it's delivered

[pallid lotus]

Worst part is you're actually not wrong... whilst simultaneously demonstrating exactly why everything's fucked lmfao

[rapid merlin]

Too much Robert Greene books for you

[bitter quiver]

Not sure who that is lol. But I've done my dating, completed my adult friendships phase, and am married

It's how life is

[rapid merlin]

The world is fucked if you look deep enough

[rapid merlin]

W

Im never getting married lol

Oh thank god my power came back on now I can study yayy

Lol

[pallid lotus]

if you look deep enough
Really?

[bitter quiver]

You learn chess if you plan to play is basically my view.

You can leverage kindness just as much.

[lavish shell]

And if you look deeper you'll find just an old intel i7 6600 cpu processing our surroundings

[buoyant tree]

anybody here watched a quiet place

[rapid merlin]

True

😭

The simulation theory lol

[rapid merlin]

I want to

Seems fun

[lavish shell]

At least it wasn't Trump, that guy still runs on DOS

[buoyant tree]

eh me need horror

[rapid merlin]

[bitter quiver]

Both of you need to side step the politics stuff

lol

[buoyant tree]

i thought the thing was a normal sci-fi as well as alien, they didn't seem scary tho

[rapid merlin]

I deleted my message because I remembered the rule about politics lol

[rapid merlin]

Sameee

[bitter quiver]

I saw the quickdraw

[rapid merlin]

[bitter quiver]

I'm still a huge fan of old school cheesey horror

[pallid lotus]

I don't disagree. If you take emotion entirely out of the picture and look at humans as being logic puzzles then you're exactly right -- it's just a series of stimuli which cause a desired outcome.

Only issue with that is that humans are emotional creatures, and you treating them otherwise doesn't exactly help with the shitshow of a world we've created for ourselves. "Everyone for themselves, screw the rest of the species" is a great attitude on paper, but just makes you an asshole in real life.

[lavish shell]

Sorry, I neglected to read the rules so wasn't aware about topics that were out of scope

[buoyant tree]

me need something to scare me

watched the menu and laughed my way through it

[pallid lotus]

Then of course you get to the point where you just want to step outside of the entire construct of societal interaction and nuke the whole freakin' lot of it

[lavish shell]

Best I can do is offer you a mirror

[rapid merlin]

There is definitely someone somewhere plotting that

[sand trench]

Was hoping that world peace would be achieved when 2020 started guess not

[buoyant tree]

eh lets do a american cheeseburger

[pallid lotus]

Could you tell them to hurry up please?

[sand trench]

hah

[bitter quiver]

Most are emotional creatures. I specifically identify folks who can be trained up and do so, and offer compassion where functional. Part of what I teach them though is identifying people in a way that offers you an understanding of how to lead them. Which also means you understand their input/output and assign a value to the usefulness in your particular situation.

[pallid lotus]

You know the saying "When you're in a hole, stop digging?"

[bitter quiver]

What hole?

I can be emotionless when it's useful lol

[sand trench]

points at deepest man made hole

[lavish shell]

All depends on why you're in a hole

[bitter quiver]

It's a beneficial trait to me, not a hole

Wife hates it because I'm hard to argue with because I don't get upset

[lavish shell]

If you're in a hole because a heavy object has trapped you, either dig or suffer to the end

[pallid lotus]

Again, I don't disagree. It's a very beneficial trait for an individual.
Less good if you give a shit about anything else on this lump of space rock we've all ended up sharing

[sand trench]

lump of wet space rock

the wet part is important

[bitter quiver]

I can agree with the sentiment. But just as an unarmed individual will struggle heavily, and it may even be impossible, to defend themselves against an armed adversary. Understanding and making use of the system is the only way you develop any type of leverage to have a positive impact.

I lean into kindness because it comes around.

Rather have a warm hand slap by back than a bitter heart stab it

[pallid lotus]

You realise that's a never ending cycle, right?

[bitter quiver]

Correct.

Do you have a solution?

[lavish shell]

And now I'll be leaving. Have fun

[bitter quiver]

Take care

[sly flower]

@sharp citrus

[bitter quiver]

[sly flower]

Sup

[pallid lotus]

See aforementioned "nuke it all"
Genuinely, no, I don't.
I don't personally believe that there is or can be a solution. I think that this entire parasitic species is fundamentally flawed -- desperately trying to cling to life at any cost, despite that being the worst possible outcome for literally everything else. In the end that's the driver for everything we do 🤷‍♂️
I have no hope that humans will change -- that people like yourself will be less manipulative. That bigots will stop being bigoted, or that they will die out. That carnists will stop mindlessly killing for no reason. That warmongers and politicians will stop clawing for power. I could go on all day about the crap we pull to each other and the planet.
I have no hope that people will care, or that they will change. So no, on the grand scale of things I don't think that you choosing to not actively toy with people for your own gain will make a difference. I just think it's still worth raising the problem rather than quietly ignoring it.

[bitter quiver]

Idealistic views. It's a nice thing to enjoy.

[pallid lotus]

And an all too common occurrence these days 😆

[bitter quiver]

Very very common

Something so common, having so little impact though.

You can do good things for people, only if you are capable of doing things to begin with.

Love takes energy

You have to build it up to give it out

[umbral bay]

When you're trapped into postmodernism, the only way out is to deconstruct yourself into nothingness. 😄

[bitter quiver]

Classical heat death theory of the universe rendering every point moot?

It is a nice bed time story for me

lol

[umbral bay]

Philosophically speaking. 😉

[bitter quiver]

Of course. We still have obligations as individuals.

We can ask questions, but still carry out duty

Benefit of being married actually.

She keeps me in check and productive

[sand trench]

meep moop time for shadows sleep sloops to the beepity boopity beep boops

[tame kayak]

Speaking of obligations as individuals. I don't know about you guys. But I get pretty angry that the Nation State Actors can pretty much do as they please. I would like to contribute to the protection of my nation, but from my understanding, you need a good education to get into that.

I wish I knew of a way to, "cheat" the system or if there was a program to take people that want to do the thing; to the next level. I believe I heard the head of the FBI in the states saying that even if they had all of their agents focus on China, they are still out numbered. Where is urge to get more people to help with that?

My apologies, if this was not the intent of the past few statements made here. It just got the blood boiling.

[cosmic pendant]

What country do you live in?

[tame kayak]

That States.

[cosmic pendant]

usajobs.gov

to answer your question

[lavish shell]

Was that a question or a new novel you're working on? 😂

[cosmic pendant]

Atleast they care enough to round up and not down

I appreciate it for sure, i think i missed some of the other context, but that's okay

[lavish shell]

Honestly, in terms of ethics, that whole thing is questionable. Everybody says white hat, but it's only the act of a white hat as defined by the Nation state hackers. I'm sure the one's that they target would otherwise consider them to be black hats. That's why I feel the only line in ethics or morals is the line you yourself draw and whether or not you ever decide to step over it.

[cosmic pendant]

It's all relative (mostly).

But that is a more an academic conversation that doesn't really fit here

[lavish shell]

Sorry, the only friend I have is known as qwerty 😂

[cosmic pendant]

Has anyone learned anything neat recently?

[buoyant tree]

Been learning a lil about Rpa with uipath

[lavish shell]

It's not recent, but the keyboard used to be in alphabetical order but was changed to it's current latout because people were typing too fast on the typewriters and the striker tongs kept getting stuck together

[cosmic pendant]

RPA = Remote Path.....?

[buoyant tree]

Robotic process automation

[cosmic pendant]

ohhh, wasn't expecting that, very cool

[buoyant tree]

basically automating stuff with a UI and clicks

once I learn it I should be able to automate stuff a lil faster than I could do in python

[cosmic pendant]

neato

[buoyant tree]

What u been learning Toaster?

[tame kayak]

I've learned that managing a Windows workshop when you aren't allowed to set up AD is a pain in the butt.

[cosmic pendant]

yeah, parts of it

[buoyant tree]

I think I need sleep

[cosmic pendant]

learning about some of the DSP and filterting and such

[lavish shell]

You have the tools to analyze radio signals?

Because Ringzer0CTF has a few challenges that deal with it if you wanna test your skills

[buoyant tree]

btw Toaster do you play any games

[cosmic pendant]

I used too...

Dont' have the time I used to have lol

[woven pawn]

how do i add up my writeup?

[lavish shell]

Preferably not here lol. But basically any other site that offers a blog or feed type setup, a lot of people use the site medium

[buoyant tree]

@sinful moon u here?

[sinful moon]

Watching Foundation, huge fan of the books so it’s interesting to see the series

[buoyant tree]

Nice

I need a recommendation for a movie seating

[sinful moon]

Uh middle is always good

[buoyant tree]

hmm foundation seems interesting

[buoyant tree]

its a IMAX theater

thinking this seat

[sinful moon]

The books are better as always but it’s quite a decent series so far

Guessing Dune II?

Enjoy

And yeah that’ll do

[buoyant tree]

Yup

[buoyant tree]

watching it this saturday

[royal gazelle]

go back more if its imax, i was nearly in the back row for my showing and could see fine

[sinful moon]

Good advice, yeah huge screens

Keep to the middle back

[buoyant tree]

hmm

[royal gazelle]

tbh imax wasnt very worth it unless you're seeing the 70mm version, would be fine seeing in digital or amc prime

[buoyant tree]

How can I check if its the 70mm version

just shows IMAX

[royal gazelle]

it should say, theres only like 9 theaters in NA showing the 70mm version afaik

[buoyant tree]

eh going to the only IMAX theater in Pakistan

[royal gazelle]

oh dang yeah I dont think 70mm made it there yet, should be a good time either way though

[buoyant tree]

yea

going to opt for this seat

[rapid merlin]

Buffer overflow is sooo annoying

[lavish shell]

And also fun, loved doing it in Microcorruptions using a debugger for an MSP430 Microcontroller

[rapid merlin]

Yeah

I prefer AD

I’m glad oscp changed their program

[molten sky]

ad?

did they replace boff with some ad attack stuff?

[lavish shell]

Is it too early to start forming a team for a month long cyber security event in October? New people are ok, but I always wait until last minute and that's all I seem to get. I would like yo have people with experience.

[signal harness]

hi I normally use HTB Academy for you know pentesting but I'm trying THM out for OSINT

and I got stuck on this one room

its the sakura room

I was able to find out the attacker's real name but don't know their email

can someone give me a hint on how to find their email?

[lavish shell]

Go to help channel and someone will assist you.

[signal harness]

ok

[molten sky]

need to test something relating to vbox/vmware

debating if i should install it on my host or within another vm 😶

[lavish shell]

I would do it in a VM as it would provide an addition layer of virtualization and protection. When I do malware analysis I use a distro of linux that's a VM version rather than just an iso for that very purpose.

[molten sky]

not really a security thing

just a "do i really want to install virtualbox???" thing

[lavish shell]

Ah, ok. Well that's all based on preference so...good luck with that 😂

[molten sky]

i wonder if it'll complain since i'm already running kvm

[brisk tree]

morning

[molten sky]

m

[lavish shell]

It might lol, just smack it around a bit until it cooperates

[brisk tree]

how are you

[molten sky]

tired af

[brisk tree]

awww

same tbh ahaha

[molten sky]

hm. i should grab a desk beer.

[brisk tree]

desk beer sounds great

what time is it wehre you are

[molten sky]

quarter to midnight

[brisk tree]

think a desk beer is needed

[molten sky]

ima do the thing and vbox then ima grab one

[brisk tree]

nice

[lavish shell]

Don't forget the shower beer before bed 😂

[brisk tree]

i wish i could have a desk beer but tis 8:30am ahjaha

[molten sky]

that's like the perfect time for a desk beer tho

[brisk tree]

is it a beer in the shower or beer instead of water ahaha

[molten sky]

always

[molten sky]

cold beer hot shower

[brisk tree]

i dont have beer. I have whisky and kraken and chocolate vodka

[molten sky]

if scotch then we can be friends

wait wtf

did you just say chocolate vodka

tf

[brisk tree]

its the most amazing thing tastes like your drinking desert

dessert

[molten sky]

something tells me that drinking deset might not be very pleasant

[lavish shell]

The Saharah one? Sounds like it'd irritate your throat 😂

[brisk tree]

Cost me £4 here for a litre ahaha

[molten sky]

never heard of that one, lol

that like the mellow corn of your area? 😂

[brisk tree]

its made in glasgow

[molten sky]

ya know

not surprised at that price then

[brisk tree]

that is cheap thats like £8

and where i am its £4 for a litre

aed you half then half again and tou have pounds

[lavish shell]

Delete before my wife sees, she'll be wanting that next, after sex on the beach, which sounds like a good time but ironically isn't after a couple

[molten sky]

i normally defer to an islay

[brisk tree]

trust me you need to try chocolate vodka its calls for alcoholism ahaha

[molten sky]

but ironically isn't
just like the namesake

[brisk tree]

you cant even taste the alcohol it when yoiu drink it with coke all you taste is chocolate dessert

[molten sky]

[brisk tree]

over here they sell 80% absinth for £12 ahaha its wild

[molten sky]

back in the day (like a few years ago, lol) we would just by some spirytus for mixing juice and shit

[brisk tree]

ahaha

[molten sky]

at 96% and the same price as vodka, it ends up being cheaper in the end

use half as much, doesn't dilute the flavour as well

[brisk tree]

over here its cheaper to buy spirits than it is red bull ahaha

[lavish shell]

Juice and shit mixture doesn't sound that great honestly 😂

[brisk tree]

i once got dared to mix vodka and rum and whiksy together i thought i was gonna die ahaha

[molten sky]

you ever go swimming at the beach? 😶

[flint sluice]

That's one of the most Scottish things I have heard all year.

[molten sky]

how so

[lavish shell]

I drank vodka and jack Daniels at a river, I wound up getting dragged by arms out the road by my friends because I was too drunk to move

[molten sky]

that's just a tuesday here

[brisk tree]

ahahahaha where i am every scottish person would love. Unlimted drinks for 4 hours for £40 and they dont measure you get like 70% spirits and 30 mixer ahaha

[flint sluice]

Chroist.

[lavish shell]

I won't be going anymore after that nice little visual element

[molten sky]

i have a new friend request apparently but i have no idea who tf it was because discord doesn't sort them by date recieved ,-,

[molten sky]

noice

[brisk tree]

can you not see the name or do you just not know who they are

[molten sky]

literally never heard anyone reference STAR outside of "here's how to do well in an interview!" bs blog posts

[molten sky]

i have a whole list of people i've ignored but not declined and discord refuses to sort it

[brisk tree]

its what ive heard alot i do a star method answer

[brisk tree]

i get friend requests daily i just decline

[molten sky]

brb gonna go apply for this cool DLP role i found

[brisk tree]

ahahahahaha

i need to prepare like mad and ace this interview

https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/3833696191

this is the job

[molten sky]

after getting annoyed i've adopted the igaf method for interviewing

a lot more casual

if the interview begins very scripted and question and answer i'm turned off of that company pretty quickly

[brisk tree]

i need to stop being nervous and just charm the interviewer

[molten sky]

it's easy when you don't care anymore

[brisk tree]

Yeah I need believe in myself and stop the wee voice in my head telling me I can’t do something

[molten sky]

Indulge in a generous holiday allowance with a minimum of 7.2 weeks, wierd that they give you 7.2

just list the number of days or do whole weeks

[brisk tree]

ahahahahahahah

apparnelty you can buy more holidays ahaha

[molten sky]

it's literally just 36 days

[molten sky]

say 36 days

also that's pretty standard i feel like, is it not?

that's literally just unpaid time off

[brisk tree]

what to buy more holidays or to get 36 days

and im not sure

[molten sky]

buy more i mean

36 days though is nice to see on an analyst position tho

[brisk tree]

not sure

yeah and i heard tesco bank is really good to work for

[molten sky]

can't say i've heard much but they aren't big around here

[brisk tree]

tesco is a huge supermarket chain in the uk

[molten sky]

the only bank i've written off as "absolutely tf not, never, no matter what" is wells fargo

otherwise 🤷‍♂️

[brisk tree]

ahahaha why have you written them off

[molten sky]

it's a whole thing going back many years but if you've seen the inside you know how bad it was at one point with legitimate corruption and theft from customers and such

silently encouraged

[brisk tree]

oh damn

[molten sky]

know quite a few people who outright toss resumes of those who list Wells depending on the role they had there

lack of trust due to how widespread it was

[brisk tree]

that sounds really bad

[molten sky]

lmfao

From NBC:

In 2016, Wells Fargo was found to have opened millions of unauthorized accounts for existing customers to meet sales goals.

straight from the justice department:

Wells Fargo Agrees to Pay $3 Billion to Resolve Criminal and Civil Investigations into Sales Practices Involving the Opening of Millions of Accounts without Customer Authorization

[brisk tree]

bloody hell

thats wild 😂

[molten sky]

the other main company i've written off to the same degree is tiktok

for different but hopefully obvious reasons

[brisk tree]

yeah i can understand why

[molten sky]

lmao another one from Harvard Law, specific to LA:

In September 2016, Wells Fargo announced that it would pay $185 million to settle a lawsuit filed by regulators and the city and county of Los Angeles, admitting that employees had opened as many as 2 million accounts without customer authorization over a five-year period.

yeah pretty widespread and silently encouraged fraud

employees were fired for not taking part in some areas

[brisk tree]

yeah 😬

[brisk tree]

wait they were fired for not taking part in the fraud?

[molten sky]

obviously it wasn't made out that way, but if you didn't take part, you were suddenly on the chopping block and they did everything they could to push you out --- whether through "downsizing" or finding other things they could hit you for cause with

[brisk tree]

That’s really bad

[lavish shell]

Sorry to interrupt, just a quick question. If it's inappropriate I apologize, but just curious. Meta Data on pictures, I know it can and does get deleted, but would it be possible to perform forensics on the image to retrieve what was deleted from it? Probably not...

[molten sky]

also:

The bank settled allegations that it illegally repossessed military members’ cars, and it was found to have charged car owners for insurance they didn’t need and paused borrowers’ home loan payments without their approval during Covid.

[molten sky]

on the image? not necessarily. on the storage media itself? absolutely

well, not necessarily if it's done properly

some yes some no

[lavish shell]

Facebook removes it

[molten sky]

certain metadata will be kept but some will be removed (if they do it right), like geoloc

[lavish shell]

But some sites, most definitely and it is scary easy to extract data

[molten sky]

i've made a few k just via dumb ass exif issues

[lavish shell]

I'll shut up now, talk to you later

[molten sky]

...learn?

we don't do that here

[lavish shell]

Well, I knew the answer just wanted to confirm. As a picture doesn't contain a storage device, there really isn't anything to retrieve deleted info from. He was right, 100%

[molten sky]

obviously poor deletion methods could be an issue

like apple's issue with cropped photos being uncroppable

but normally yea

why do i have a feeling it's nethunter

[lavish shell]

Kali?? Nah, I never did like Kali

Setting up a VM on my android, so my choice of an OS is only limited by my preference.

[molten sky]

im sry..did you just say vm?

you're running a hypervisor on your android phone?

[lavish shell]

Yes, virtual machine on my android

[molten sky]

..what hypervisor?

[lavish shell]

Limbo x86 Arm Emulation

[molten sky]

well, shit

bookmarked

[lavish shell]

It allows me to hack on the go without relying on termux

[glossy portal]

Trying to setup openvpn for THM on windows, doesn't seem to be connecting, any ideas?

[molten sky]

what is that gui even from

[glossy portal]

openVPN

Their app

[molten sky]

ahhh

not on windows so didn't recognize it

[glossy portal]

I really need to switch to a linux distro, but I like playing games without having to worry about support

[molten sky]

idk about the openvpn client itself but for some clients you might need to adjust the available ciphers

no idea how that works on windows tho

[glossy portal]

Makes sense, guess I'm using the attackbox now

[molten sky]

drop a message in #site-support or something, someome who actually uses windows might come along

[molten sky]

do you actually play anything that runs annoying and extremely invasive anticheat, or?

[glossy portal]

used to play valorant, not recommended, minecraft these days, but I'm too lazy to make the switch

[molten sky]

yeah no idea about valorant, but minecraft would be more than fine

honestly proton and lutris and such have come extremely far

the steam deck being arch based has pushed things along

[lavish shell]

Honestly, you don't have to switch. You can have an OS on VM alongside your original windows. But Linux is better. Even their slogan is better "Microsoft gives you windows but linux gives you the whole house"

[molten sky]

^^^^^ set up a kali vm for thm, use the vpn inside the vm

i mean, still should switch, but that also works

my grub entry for windows is "Waste of fucking time"

[lavish shell]

Ironically, I got errors from tryhackme on my pc saying I needed to use a desktop but managed to start a machine on my phone 😂

[glossy portal]

That's what I do, I'm following the windows priv esc/ exploitation series and man the attackbox is slow af

[molten sky]

wait you're using both a kali vm and the attackbox

am confused

[lavish shell]

No they're using the attack box for the room windows priv esc

[glossy portal]

Kali VM is what I use to hack mostly, but the attackbox because of the windows machines

I don't have a way to remote connect, because openVPN's not working on windows

[molten sky]

but the attackbox because of the windows machines
can you elaborate

i think i'm missing something here, lol

i hate it

worst thing i've ever made myself do

powershell is misery

[glossy portal]

Sorry, I might be not explaining myself well, just woke up, so I'm doing the windows fundamental and priv esc rooms, they require a windows machine to connect

So I have to end up using the attackbox

[lavish shell]

You don't love all the cmdlets? I sort of liked it because sooo many commands I knew from command prompt also work in PowerShell

[molten sky]

is that the name of the room? kinda wanna check what you mean

[glossy portal]

https://tryhackme.com/room/windowsfundamentals2x0x

[molten sky]

it's also poisoned my mind
i forgot how to add in bash

[glossy portal]

Currently on this one, you should find a whole series I think

[lavish shell]

Haha

[molten sky]

oh shit i see what you mean

yeah i actually still use a linux vm for those

not always kali but still a vm

connect via openvpn within the vm and then i connect to the machine with remmina

[glossy portal]

that's interesting, I'll have to look into this later

[lavish shell]

So, is your whole issue with OpenVPN?

[glossy portal]

yep

[molten sky]

kinda happy with the results still tho

wouldn't wanna do it again

but it's made deploying vms much nicer for us

[glossy portal]

Would it be against the rules to talk about maldev academy here?

[molten sky]

@glossy portal rdp-ed into the target machine with remmina from within kali using the vpn

[glossy portal]

makes sense, I'll try to implement this

[molten sky]

unfortunately yea --- can be talked about in the adv channel tho (after 0xD)

[glossy portal]

vmcemption

Kali VM on a windows, using rdp inside Kali for windows

[molten sky]

sounds wrong

[lavish shell]

Sorry, running vm in split screen mode and targeted wrong screen

[molten sky]

this guy wants us to think he knows vim

[graceful thistle]

you will be banned for this

unforgivable crime

[molten sky]

o7

[lavish shell]

I actually hate vim. Prefer nano

[molten sky]

okay yeah go ahead @graceful thistle

[glossy portal]

something something center a div

[graceful thistle]

what is this, trying to trigger all the FE devs?

[lavish shell]

Hey it's hard doing all this 0n a phone; At any rate, it was nice knowing you lol

[molten sky]

i mean, you don't really need to wait for that

the normal clipboard can still be used

i mean you can actually make vim just used the system clipboard

i forgot how tho

been years

[lavish shell]

Does the ctr+c option work in vim for copying?

[molten sky]

he meant in his command

lmao you got it

[devout palm]

ed is the best

[lavish shell]

shut up im dumb and preoccupied 😂

[molten sky]

boooo

normally you can just shift highlight

that normally puts most emulators into marking mode

have to use that quite a bit when i'm layers deep in tmux weirdness

i try not to change hotkeys too much tbh

i'd rather work with what's normal, so that i'm not completely lost when i move to someone else's desk for 3 minutes

[uncut cove]

greetings to you people

[molten sky]

hola

[uncut cove]

so many rooms are out recently... do you even sleep?

[molten sky]

no

[uncut cove]

:!sh is also good

[lavish shell]

This is the only sleep we know: 0101001101101100011001010110010101110000

[molten sky]

:q! *up* *enter*

i recently rediscovered ssh escape keys

forgot they existed

[glossy portal]

:e! [oh you already typed it]

[molten sky]

very useful for certain situations

[uncut cove]

but why are exclamation marks put so randomely in Vi commands

[molten sky]

cause we're excited to be vimming

[uncut cove]

so :!sh means yea let me have that shell

[glossy portal]

Shut up computer, I know what I'm doing 😎

[uncut cove]

still why not :sh!

[molten sky]

pro tip:
add fpush to your git aliases to force push with lease
cause ik nobody does with lease automatically (lazy)

[uncut cove]

makes sense now :! thank you

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @coarse totem (current: #122 - 51)

[molten sky]

should change someone's key to exit vim when they aren't looking and watch hell break loose

[molten sky]

mods are asleep

[graceful thistle]

no

[molten sky]

andere sprachen sprechen

nooo

damn, that was quick btw

[naive violet]

Nah I'm awake and caffienated

[molten sky]

caffeine sounds good rn

tempted to just pull an all nighter

wait shit i forgot to get my desk beers 4 hours ago

this is a travesty

[brisk tree]

i was gonna ask about that ahaha

[lavish shell]

@molten sky You any good debugging linux boot issues?

Tried two different distros, using an emulated core2duo processor, 800MB ram, 10GB hard drive so room and storage isn't an issue. I just don't exactly know what to do here

[rapid merlin]

which virtual machine do you prefer for a beginner

[lavish shell]

Oracle VM box

[brisk tree]

yeah just dont run 5 vms at once like i had to for uni it kept crashing

ahaha

[rapid merlin]

is it free

[brisk tree]

for reliability and less crashes id go for the free version of vmware

[brisk tree]

yes

[rapid merlin]

kk

are a profetional hacker

but what about UTM

[molten sky]

i get distracted easily sometimes

[brisk tree]

ahaha im the same

did you end up getting it

[molten sky]

it's hard sometimes when you don't have a scroll buffer and errors are lost, but the kernel panic msg on line 2 sounds like the one to focus on (no working init?)
otherwise not the faintest clue. i'm used to debugging these, but used to it in a throw-everything-at-it-and-see-what-works way, lol

[molten sky]

nah it's late now, bouta just call it instead

grab some banana bread first tho 😶

[molten sky]

paid? vmware workstation any day. free? vbox at least has snapshot support without $$$
||(kvm is still king tho)||

[brisk tree]

good idea

maybe get a desk beer tomorrow for the weekend

[molten sky]

it's 3:20 in the morning here on thursday 😶

[brisk tree]

bloody hell you need to sleep ahahaha

[lavish shell]

H, well thanks anyway

[viscid hill]

new THM layout is really good

[gray sonnet]

ohh, nice, when did it change?

[shell nova]

I think they're in canary mode

Not all rooms have changed

[sick lance]

Rooster Teeth shutdown

End of an era... 😦

Vmware workstation Pro is the bees knees.

[gray sonnet]

yeah, i noticed

as tom posted, the nessus room has definitely changed

[molten sky]

too bad broadcom bought them

i agree tho

[gray sonnet]

do you think they'll discontinue vmware?

[sick lance]

No.

[molten sky]

can't imagine them doing that --- it's a money maker

bug they're messing with licensing for certain vmware products, already tossed out perpetuals for the effected ones, and they're probably gonna start ignoring the minor product line (ignore, not discontinue)

[gray sonnet]

iirc they're the biggest hypervisor provider?

[molten sky]

idk about the biggest but they are big

you've also got kvm, hyper v, etc

xen/citrix (although that one is minor compared to those)

[gray sonnet]

oh yeah, I totally forgot about them lmao

[brisk tree]

you still awake? ahaha

[ruby fog]

Hello i am currently working as a junior system admin but i also do some networking jobs , i want to know the rooms realated to system admin , and networking since when i search in the site it doesnt give me everything

[naive violet]

Vmware is the company. Which product do you mean?

[gray sonnet]

oh yeah, my bad I didn't mention, workstation product line

they definitely won't discontinue the ESXi line

[naive violet]

They're selling off chunks of the business too

[gray sonnet]

oh wait what 👀

[brisk tree]

who is vmware?

[mossy river]

Me

[lavish shell]

I believe I figured out the issue I was having.

[sick lance]

I'm VmWare.

[brisk tree]

lol

[lavish shell]

For my phone, I was trying to use distros that were 64 bit when the VM only supports 32 bit which (I believe) resulted in the kernal panic message. So, aside from me not using my brain, I don't think I should have any more issues with the vm 😂

I feel stupid for not remembering that sooner

[sick lance]

Last otter pic....

I promise nothing

[brisk tree]

someone sent me a pic yesterday of the fattest squirl ive ever seen ahahhaha

[north badger]

no ur just bad at pool

[chilly veldt]

Morning

[shell nova]

I've mostly switched to KVM as VMware workstation on Linux is pain

[spice adder]

Gm thm

[spice adder]

Cgroups >>

[shell nova]

I mean containers are good too ^_^

Every time the kernel updates I have to recompile and resign the networking modules

Manually

Especially since the kernel updates about weekly

Maybe they fixed it in 17

But the V6 kernel requires signed modules

Hmm

I was still on 16

[brisk tree]

morning

[shell nova]

I try to use automated tooling to generate the VM in any case

Packer is nice

And vagrant isn't bad for managing them

That would be more terraform

Heh had to lookup the french cybercrime section of the penal code...don't hack things you don't own, the fines and jail time are huge

(for a presentation I'm working on)

[karmic furnace]

that's because Europe is GOATED for their laws surrounding privacy imo.

[shell nova]

Yup

[karmic furnace]

GDPR is so good.

Come on Australia, check up.

Goodnight world.

[shadow breach]

#rules

#start-here

[sick lance]

Yeah, suppose that would suck.

I still use windows.

[mossy river]

Lecturer said my assignment looks good, this is scary news

[sick lance]

Why!?

you done good.

[rapid merlin]

Why’s it scary news?

[mossy river]

I take positivity as negativity

For a good thing to happen so must a bad thing

[simple valve]

@grizzled crystal , are you available for DM? 😄
