Buying domain names > buying nfts/crypto

[sick lance]

You mean you won't stick Cyber-sec out?

[real compass]

Got a .com for like 15$ and it’s not some bs URL either. They’re in there, just gotta look for them

[rapid merlin]

But how many characters?

[scenic bobcat]

dunno i've been into it a few times but like with everything else i tend to lose interest after few months or just burn out 😅
I tend to just get super into it and burn myself out cause hyperfixations be like that

[sick lance]

I hyperfoxate on stuff.

I've never burned out though

[real compass]

12 characters without the domain suffix

[mossy river]

Buy a ton of domains and setup a script to randomly switch the domain so people have to hunt for your website

[sick lance]

hosted here today, gone tomorrow.

[mossy river]

"Now you see me"

[wooden totem]

Now you see me 2

[scenic bobcat]

Ah thats good for you, i just find something, dont do anything but that basically for a few weeks or so and then dont look at it again cycled through a decent few things that way

[wooden totem]

Is 1-2 hours of learning per day a good pace to remember stuff or should I do more?

[sick lance]

You should be taken notes too

[glossy portal]

This

[scenic bobcat]

depends on the person tbh, and yes, notes are important too~ as long as you feel focused it should be good

[glossy portal]

If you can somewhat recall something there's no need to remember a lot, google will be your friend

[sick lance]

You won't be expected to remember everything.

[scenic bobcat]

Yea it's pretty similar to programming something in that way, there's tons of databases etc out there to lookup the specifics for certain things so as long as you know how to effectively do that it will be alot easier than trying to remember everything

[crude stump]

How do I make my own website

Don’t you need to play

Pay

[mossy river]

I mean you can host it on a pi and port forward but I wouldn't recommend that

Buy a domain, link to a service or setup a server using something like cloudflare or DO

[scenic bobcat]

make your own website.. in what way? 😅 hosting it? or like.. actually making it?

[crude stump]

For fun. Like a random funny website

[glossy portal]

Wordpress is 4$ a month I think?

[hot cairn]

Incorrect

[crude stump]

Imagine a website all about beans. Like I program it using html

[scenic bobcat]

they have a free version too iirc but ofc its quite limited 😅

[glossy portal]

ooo that's interesting

[scenic bobcat]

or that might have been another thing?

[wintry sluice]

https://beaninstitute.com/beans-around-the-world/

[crude stump]

WHAT

Stole my idea smh

[scenic bobcat]

its the internet, ofc a website bout beans already exists

[wintry sluice]

hehehe

[uncut cove]

how's it going people

[glossy portal]

Going good, how about yourself

[uncut cove]

going good indeed!

gonna reboot to FeDoRa to decypher some hashes

[boreal scarab]

When running GMod and Rust maxes out my 32 GB of ram......

[wintry sluice]

download more ram

[scenic bobcat]

yes

[glossy portal]

interesting

[crude stump]

Ik

[boreal scarab]

Debating on buying more ram, faster speed too. But this rig has been with me for 7 years, or just suck it up and wait till win 10 goes EOS next year?

[crude stump]

But like if I were to program a website using html. Would I have to pay a web hosting service to actually publish it?

[glossy portal]

Extra money laying around?

[boreal scarab]

Cheapest 64GB I see is $119, of course I'll compare em all

[boreal scarab]

Yep

[glossy portal]

I'd do it, no point in waiting for Windows

[mossy river]

Please do not advertise here

[boreal scarab]

That $119 is 2 32 GB sticks, so I could TECHNICALLY max it to 128 for the LOLs

[wintry sluice]

how much ram can your rig handle?

[boreal scarab]

Yes

[glossy portal]

heh I doubt you'd need that much unless it's visual effects work

[mossy river]

If you post this again, you will be muted.

[crude stump]

💀

[boreal scarab]

Looks like only 64

[crude stump]

Gotta be a bot

[boreal scarab]

Yep, max ram is 64, sadge

[mossy river]

If after those two hours you are feeling like you need to take a break or shut your brain off, I would consider turning it down a little.
Otherwise, I would say so!

Here are a few tips that you should keep in mind:

• Your ability to remember is not dictated by the amount of hours you put into a session. External sources can affect converting short term to long term memory.
• Ensure you are getting between 6-10 hours of sleep.
• Have a balanced diet
• diet patterns that are high in sugar, refined carbs, unhealthy fats and processed foods can contribute to impaired memory and learning
• Some studies showed that caffeine can reduce memory and thinking decline, don't consume caffeine after 6pm
• "Practice makes perfect"
• repetition can help consolidate your memory and convert short term to long term. Repeat techniques and concepts. Do a walkthrough room then a challenge room with that specific topic.
• Take notes
• In this field you are not expected to remember every single thing, please do not fall into the mindset that you need to know everything in cyber. You can become familiar with topics but you will only master a few of them. This does not mean that you should avoid topics, just don't be upset if you keep forgetting a concept
• I have written a few times about the best ways to take notes, etc.
• Explain the concept you have learned to someone or read it out loud. This helps convert to long term memory
• Find the best form of content for you to start learning.
• Everyone is different. I prefer a demonstration for me to understand what I am required to do. Find out if you are a visual/ written/ listening learner and do your best to find content that is in that form.
• An example: if you are doign a TryHackMe room and can't seem to grasp the content. Find a YouTube video of someone going over the room and see if that helps

Be sure not to pressure yourself if you struggle to understand a topic. It will only make it harder for you to learn it ❤️

[glossy portal]

dual channel is probably better, I think 128 is probably overkill

[mossy river]

Sorry for the text wall 😊

[boreal scarab]

My brain got the channels messed up, quad is for servers

[boreal scarab]

My MB can't handle 128 anyways, max is 64

So I can either do 2 sticks of 32, or 4 sticks of 16

[glossy portal]

2 sticks, first and fourth insert

[boreal scarab]

Right meow, ram speed is stuck at 2400 for some reason

[mossy river]

xmp it up

[rapid merlin]

I think it should be pinned xd

[glossy portal]

good information for beginners, pin this?

[mossy river]

I will write a proper document and pin that instead, let me add it to my To-Do list

[rapid merlin]

Even better

[scenic bobcat]

not every MB can handle much higher speeds but eh dont forget to check the BIOS settings for XMP or so?

[wooden totem]

Thank you, very informative

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @mossy river (current: #6 - 1200)

XMP is on, it should be hitting 3000, bur it's not. My MB can do maz 3800 Mhz

[gray sonnet]

[boreal scarab]

Yes, a long ass time ago lol

[mossy river]

Do you want to double check.. 🤣

[boreal scarab]

No

[rapid merlin]

I once broke a BIOS by setting the RAM speed higher but not enabling XMP

🙂

[glossy portal]

oof. lol

[gray sonnet]

then double check 👀

[boreal scarab]

The latency on my current sticks is 16-16-16-39, one I'm looking at, 2 32GB, 16-18-18-38

Amd before y'all ask, yes.... it's RGB

[boreal scarab]

I say RGB and Emma shows up with her RGB switch

[boreal scarab]

What’s you’re favorite food at MickyDs

[plush mesa]

Quite a lot... It's pretty close to the machine and not far abstracted. It's used in embedded devices, and many languages are based on it. Windows and linux are both written in C and C++. Decompilers also decompile to C like code so it will help with malware analysis. Many games are written in C++ which is C but ... More (++) as these languages are pretty fast. You also get direct memory access and pointers and addresses are a good concept to understand. Much malware is also written in these languages because of the before mentioned benefits, same with game cheats. You also get to understand how vulnerabilities like buffer overflows get created

Don't worry, 3200 MHZ speed failed so it reverted back go default 2666, I could try 3100, but right now it's at 3000. Can INSTANTLY see a speed difference on boot from 2400 32 GB to 3000 64 GB

[finite edge]

Remove them

[buoyant tree]

doing that right now

[scenic bobcat]

niceu

[sick lance]

Good, because I wouldn't want to have to take measures to prevent that from happening.

[scenic bobcat]

glad you got it working, if you notice it is unstable look up BIOS updates~ had to do that for mine

PC kept locking up when i put the EXPO (cause AMD) on and been stable ever since bios update

[boreal scarab]

I'm happy with 3000, now I can actually play GMod and Rust at the same time without my ram going to 80% usage

Pretty

[scenic bobcat]

Yeaa 3000 is good

ohh that is pretty 👀

I just went overkill when i got my new PC last summer

[boreal scarab]

My new rig I'm building next year, dunno the specs, will be the current year gear though

But needed that 64 in the meantime

[scenic bobcat]

Well i can definetly recommend the 7800x3D if you do lots of gaming, nr1 CPU for that

pricey tho 😅

[normal fable]

Oh man.. reminds me. I've got a computer to build.. keep forgetting about it.

[boreal scarab]

Gaming and VM's

Crysis was a game no PC could run at maximum when it released.

[buoyant tree]

gotta finish it tho

[buoyant tree]

wonder how they ran it on the devs pcs

[finite edge]

I wish they made crysis 2 and 3 remake with sandbox features like og crysis

[wintry sluice]

wot dis?

[rapid merlin]

Reload database 😄

[soft orchid]

yeah they need to update it fr

[rapid merlin]

Scrubz, congrats

[tall elm]

@rapid merlin Hello.

No, I just assumed it was THM.

What problem are you expecting?

[sick lance]

Thank you.

and gratz to scrubz

i uploaded the file, and updated but i still have the ancient file

[rapid merlin]

You should do reload database

in the left top

and then scroll down

[tall elm]

ill try it out right away

[rapid merlin]

Alr ping me to let me know if it works or not

[wintry sluice]

ping pcme -c 4

[rapid merlin]

hehehe

[wintry sluice]

hmm... one packet lost

[tall elm]

haha

nah nah im up

:p

I have refresh database stats / warmup database / clear sessions / clear database

@rapid merlin -c 1

[rapid merlin]

mhh

refresh database stats

[outer rivet]

Are you IT support engineer

?

[rapid merlin]

Yeah

[outer rivet]

Nice I am trying to get into

So I can add as experience

How you learn stuff ?

[rapid merlin]

Uh my name is more of a joke

btw

[outer rivet]

No I though you are like free IT intern guy

[tall elm]

@rapid merlin Still not good

[rapid merlin]

Nah

[outer rivet]

You just do tryhacke me to gain skills or you learn something outside of thsi ?

[tall elm]

and if i try to do clear database i get 2 warning message like "ARE YOU SURE DUMASS" so im not to sure about it xD

[buoyant tree]

@rapid merlinMy Bazooka stopped working, it says it requires a update but it isn't accepting any touch screen inputs

[rapid merlin]

Just Tryhackme till now, and work at an it company to gain experience

[rapid merlin]

Did you reboot it?

[buoyant tree]

Yes, what do you think I am, a animal?

[rapid merlin]

You have a Bazooka so yeah

[wintry sluice]

did you actually reboot it (ie kick with shoe)?

[buoyant tree]

It's to cook food

[buoyant tree]

First thing I did

[rapid merlin]

Shit i broke my parrot vm

by deleting the iso in my downloads folder

[buoyant tree]

...

[rapid merlin]

Dont know how that can happen

But time for a new one

[wintry sluice]

were you using a live usb version?

[rapid merlin]

Nah security edition

So its strange to me

[wintry sluice]

perhaps you left the iso loaded in the virtual cd drive?

[buoyant tree]

@boreal scarab what was that privacy related author u recommended before

he had a entire bundle of books

[rapid merlin]

Im going to bigbrain and download a new iso and connect it

lets see if that works

[wintry sluice]

try making an empty file with the same name/extension

[rapid merlin]

Yeah could try that firstDoesnt work

If i cant fix it im going to kali

😄

[buoyant tree]

or if ur feeling risky try out one of those super weird hacking distros that somehow support countries

[rapid merlin]

Mhhh

As for my ram.... from 80% usage down to 45% usage, LOVE IT

[buoyant tree]

pretty nice

wonder if my laptop's ram is overclockable

[buoyant tree]

what about for general fun

[sick lance]

80% damn,

[buoyant tree]

any random topic

[rapid merlin]

Guys, I have a little problem, i want to acces to router settings in other place, mean via other network, so i create a account on "no ip" to create ddns, and i link it to my router, i can acces to the router setings via the domain i create it, but the problem when i do restart to the router, the ip change and i can't acces another to the router settings via it, I don't have a background in networking, I think i should do port forwarding and connect it with the ddns service port, any help, i have HG532e

[mossy river]

That is really silly to do tbf

[normal fable]

[rapid merlin]

I don't have a background in networking!

[boreal scarab]

I don't really read books lol

[sick lance]

Then why fix what aint broken?

[naive violet]

This is dangerous

[wintry sluice]

not TB? smh. git gud

[boreal scarab]

Yah, 32GB at 80% usage because of GMod and Rust playing at the same time

[buoyant tree]

somehow thought you even wrote your own book, "Beerrise's guide to breaking everything"

[boreal scarab]

[rapid merlin]

I didn't understand you

[wintry sluice]

why simultaneous though

[boreal scarab]

If I did that, I would be breaking the publisher's machines

[rapid merlin]

For what

[normal fable]

GMod? Really? I didn't know people still played that. 🤣

[naive violet]

For you and your network.

[boreal scarab]

Testing shit, and staffing shit

[rapid merlin]

New ISO didnt work!

[boreal scarab]

Yah, got 6k hours GIT GUD

[wintry sluice]

wiremod makes it a fun lua playground

[rapid merlin]

People should i go to Kali or stick with Parrot?

[sick lance]

have you tried both?

[rapid merlin]

Yeah

But my parrot broke today!

I deleted the ISO in the downloads folder

😄

[rapid merlin]

I know there is a possibility of hacking, but I changed the pwd of the router to make it more complicated

[mossy river]

And how will you account for auto exploit 0days? There's a reason this page isn't already public

[naive violet]

Router admin UIs are notoriously insecure

[mossy river]

^^

[scenic bobcat]

Kali is more common so easier to find things online on if you need help with something specific but except that idk if there's even a noticeable difference? both come with all the tools you'd ever need 😅

[naive violet]

I personally feel that it would be irresponsible to help you do that, goes against my professional ethics

[rapid merlin]

Facts

Ill go to Kali this time

Just because its fun

[buoyant tree]

For my next phone should I go for a google or samsung

[wintry sluice]

go nokia

[normal fable]

I like my new Pixel.. it's better than my Samsung was. Your choice though. They're both really good.

[rapid merlin]

The what?

[buoyant tree]

Eh, haven't ever used a pixel before yet have read great reviews about them

[rapid merlin]

I never hear people say that

[buoyant tree]

I used too many samsungs

[rapid merlin]

"I should go to google" xd

[wintry sluice]

better google than unfermented cider ingredient

[sick lance]

I have a SOC exam tomorrow...

I'm worried.

These are the kind of questions I'm doing to get...

[naive violet]

None of them list all the files

[buoyant tree]

its obviously E: all of the above

[normal fable]

If you get a Pixel you can run a custom ROM on it.. for privacy.. but you have to make sure you get it from Google or it's fully unlocked. Mine was an old Verizon phone that's OEM locked and cannot be unlocked.

[sick lance]

I know 😦

[buoyant tree]

Yea going to get a unlocked one ofcourse

[wild rose]

Samsung has a better resale value, but I prefer my pixel 7 pro. I don't use it for gaming tho.

[buoyant tree]

S5,A51,A73,S7,S8,S10,Note10

[buoyant tree]

Have used too many samsung models

[normal fable]

I just upgraded from a Note 8... lol

[shut hawk]

ls -a

[wild rose]

I did too

[rapid merlin]

ll

🙂

[rapid merlin]

Who will be able to know the link to enter the router page?, Yeah isn't not public default, but the ISP create option in the router called DDNS to make it public, But in general, I do not have cyber attacks in my country, And I dont think that a random person who doesn't know me would want to hack me.

[sick lance]

I'm worried I fail this exam due to the stupidity of the questions.

[wintry sluice]

get nokia.
reject intelligent phone.
embrace the brick

[buoyant tree]

Hmm, to what

[naive violet]

DDNS isn't port forwarding.
And I dont think that a random person who doesn't know me would want to hack me. - wormable vulns in routers happen, they get hacked all the time, used in botnets or crypto jacking or other hacks. Automated, not targetted.

[shell nova]

Choose the best fit, and handwrite the caveats beside 😉

[scenic bobcat]

i hate questions like this 👀 cause like.. its technically none but ls is the closest to listing files in a directory

[mossy river]

It's not people in your country that is the worry.

[shut hawk]

ls -a does it though?

[sick lance]

Yeah, but that's not an option 😦

[wintry sluice]

but ls -a != ls

[naive violet]

Also lol what country doesn't get cyber attacks?

[mossy river]

My dyslexic brain couldn't

[shut hawk]

ls = command
-a = argument

[naive violet]

North Korea barely have the internet and they get plenty

[rapid merlin]

Yeah i know that the ddns isnt port forwarding, but i dont know if the ddns need port forwarding!?

[shut hawk]

It's still the ls command

[rapid merlin]

Techinically ur right

[rapid merlin]

Tunisia

[naive violet]

Lmao

[clear jackal]

Tunisia Central Bank was hacked iirc

[shut hawk]

Guess it depends on how you define "command"

[naive violet]

Command is the whole string

Program is ls

[mental parcel]

just choose what makes /most/ sense - trying to figure out “is it 100% correct” is masochism in those theoretical tests

[devout palm]

Hey ~ Planning to build a medium level local CTF. Any tricks that i can do? :p

[mossy river]

Me who only uses ls -la

https://tenor.com/view/discord-who-asked-me-looking-for-who-asked-travolta-meme-travolta-confused-gif-27133622

[rapid merlin]

Yes, I know, once I put it public, the attack can come from anywhere in the world, but I wondered why someone who does not know me would hack my router.

[naive violet]

Again it's not targetted. It's automated, bulk.

[mossy river]

Bots do it. Easy payout to vulnerable machines.
Auto exploiting bots exist

[wintry sluice]

• cos its there
• cos they can
• cos of what they might be able to attack using it
• cos of what they might be able to steal from you

Isn't this attack a BruteForce attack?

[lament tendon]

Could have at least made it a echo -e "$file\n" to make the output look better. 😔

[naive violet]

No

There's more exploits than that

[mossy river]

for file in * .*; do echo "$file"; done

Even if that worked, would that not put all file content into stdout?

mhmmm rip stdout

well using only the echo command for things is neat

[fast thunder]

Anyone here that understands how to solve encryption with the Diffie Helman method?

[buoyant tree]

Diffie Hellman is a concept

Public/Private key concept

[whole yew]

*algorithm

[buoyant tree]

Isn't it the concept developed by Diffie and Hellmen about private and public keys

with bob and alice

[whole yew]

It's a specific algorithm commonly used as a step in other PKI algorithms.

[buoyant tree]

and then RSA made the first algorithm

or am I wrong

[rapid merlin]

Yay first problem with Kali, drag 'n drop doesnt work 😄

[whole yew]

Concept is more abstract. DH is an algorithm.

[fast thunder]

Because I do have a exercise that isn’t from tryhackme, and I got everything and I have to solve it, and I cannot do it, can anyone help me? Anyone who can it, can you please send me a message on priv🥺?

[whole yew]

where did you get it from?

[buoyant tree]

Hmm, but a algorithm usually implies proper steps

Whereas DH is just the concept of it

[whole yew]

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/implementation-diffie-hellman-algorithm/

[fast thunder]

As a student, it’s a exercise

[crude stump]

😨

[buoyant tree]

Oh now I remember

[whole yew]

ask your instructor please, we cannot help with coursework. In fact, asking for help from toher forums may explicilty be against your student honor code and the instructor directives

[sand trench]

shadow can use gpg and pgp but have very little grasp of how the maths work

[buoyant tree]

Along with the concept a theory algorithm was developed

while RSA was the first one to utilize it properly (if you are excluding the gov which kept it a secret then unveiled later onwards )

[fast thunder]

We got allowed to use all kind of media and internet and I don’t still understand the method

[past sparrow]

There are very simplified samples on the internet

look up Bob and Alice

[buoyant tree]

Eh or you can ask any AI model to teach it to you like you are a 5 or 10 year old

[whole yew]

Source on that. And what do you mean "RSA was the first one"? Strongly recommend you read Bruce Schneier's books on cryptography.

[fast thunder]

I spend almost 2 hours on it already😅 bob and Alice is the exercise

[buoyant tree]

I read the code book

almost started Bruce Schneier's books

But got dragged away by rereading kevin mitnick

the art of invisibility

[past sparrow]

It's okay if some things take some more time

I spent 60 hours on Elgamal last week 🥲

[sand trench]

if shadow had the money to buy books on cryptography and could actually sit down and read them they would have by now

[fast thunder]

Alice sended a: g, p and A, and Bob: B and there is a flag and I cannot encrypt, I’m just so stuck and cannot even do the first step

[buoyant tree]

Enigma or Elgamal?

[past sparrow]

ElGamal

[buoyant tree]

hmm, never heard of that

[past sparrow]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ElGamal_signature_scheme

It's quite interesting

[buoyant tree]

hmm

whats the short form summary in why its different from RSA

[past sparrow]

RSA uses factorized large primes, ElGamal is based on Discrete logarithm problem, primes in ElGamal are publicly available

[buoyant tree]

And what's the tldr on Discrete logarithm

[crude stump]

Anyone got any project ideas I can do in C

[whole yew]

maybe you should just do the reading

[crude stump]

Basic

[past sparrow]

a = x^y mod z

[crude stump]

I was thinking hangman

[past sparrow]

z is prime

[rapid merlin]

Ill go parrot again, kali gives too much issues already

[buoyant tree]

reading about AI right now and getting distracted by chat

[buoyant tree]

Code a interpreter

[whole yew]

@fast thunder Please do not DM without asking permission. It's one of the first rules in #rules .

[crude stump]

Hm

[crude stump]

Thought it was a language

[fast thunder]

sry

[buoyant tree]

The complete script of Python is written in the C Programming Language. When we write a Python program, the program is executed by the Python interpreter. This interpreter is written in the C language.Oct 30, 2022

Code something like python

[plush mesa]

Have you done that aio?

[past sparrow]

Seeing what kind of languages people have written, why not

[buoyant tree]

nop, tried to write a interpreter once and failed miserably

although a friend of mine wrote one for his university project

[crude stump]

So why couldn’t I make hangman in C

[plush mesa]

Then dont give shit recommendations to someone obviously wanting to learn a new language

[buoyant tree]

the issue was that the professor couldn't grade the entire project somehow due to the lenght

[rapid merlin]

I would take that as a win

[buoyant tree]

Thought AceS already knew C and was trying to learn more

[crude stump]

Basic project ideas

And no ima learn on the way

[buoyant tree]

eh then do hangman

or suduko

[wintry sluice]

https://tenor.com/view/poorly-chose-gif-9756049

[plush mesa]

I hope you understand that it wasnt mean as offense, but I dont think anyone who asks for project ideas would find writing an own interpreter helpful as thats a pretty specific and imo advanced topic

[buoyant tree]

yea no worries

I did code a partially working interpreter for my scripting language in go

[buoyant tree]

and Looking back at it its one of the worst pieces of code I have written

[rapid merlin]

depends

i did choose kali but i just regret my choise already

I always do programming topics by need. Has anything recently been bugging you? You want to automate something? Make another tool better? Are you interested in reversing? Combine it with another interests and get something useful out of it

[buoyant tree]

Also LeePha you have any experience with AI development by any chance

[plush mesa]

Think about it for a bit and you might get a good idea. No matter what you program it will help you

[crude stump]

How would reversing work

Reverse engineeringc

?

[plush mesa]

Nope i never really did anything in that direction sorry

[normal fable]

It's raining lightly and about 50 degrees out. Nice day. 😁

[buoyant tree]

no worries, just currently learning AI myself

AI has too many numbers

[rapid merlin]

Not me using variables when having to write the same thing multiple times when doing homework

[buoyant tree]

For a second thought you were talking in Celsius

[plush mesa]

Hmm you best start off with understanding how memory works. While reversing you will have to work with Assembly before doing that you will need to understand C. Have you programmed in another language before? You should learn about pointers and really understand how that works. You can write a C program and then look at its assembly to see how it looks under the hood

[normal fable]

Not today. lol

50c would NOT be a nice day 🤣

[crude stump]

Yes python

[plush mesa]

Im not sure if this is a taboo topic in this server, however i learnt a lot by manipulating memory in single player games

[crude stump]

I think I’m pretty intermediate

With python

[buoyant tree]

imagine sitting in your car at that moment

[crude stump]

I’m oop and I’m learning tkinter guis right now

Know

And regular basic python too

Functions etc

[normal fable]

I'd be an in an ice bath.. for the 3 minutes the ice wasn't melted. lol

[sick lance]

I remember we had a warm summer and I had a Renault Grand Scenic, (terrible car)

It was 34°C and the electrics were crap, I had no ac, and my electric windows didn't work.

[buoyant tree]

nice one

[bitter quiver]

There are actually a few games designed with the intent that you learn to hack them

[sick lance]

That was an oven.

[sick lance]

I don't think it is, after all, it was taught in AoC 2023.

[bitter quiver]

I think Pwnie Island is one

[buoyant tree]

pretty bad day

It gets 40 C over here in the summer with high humidity, and we usually lose electricity at that time

[bitter quiver]

Whole point is you cheat, alter quests and inventory, etc

[buoyant tree]

so it gets a literal oven

[crude stump]

Ok

I ment ooo

[normal fable]

ouch.. that is horrible. I think anything over 34c is way too hot. lol

[plush mesa]

Ok basically the main difference between python and C are:

• Python automatically assigns types to your variables with C you have to do that yourself
• Pointers
• you can Manually allocate memory, dont forget to always free it afterwards 😃

[sick lance]

I'll never own a Renault again.

[uncut cove]

oof it was a long day

[bitter quiver]

I've been warned when I cvisit India next month it will be 100-110F

[plush mesa]

Other than that and some synthax difference its the same C isnt too hard

[uncut cove]

and the shrimps are still frozen, but not for much longer

[crude stump]

Do you know any good videos that walks through all that in depth??

[plush mesa]

Ooh yeah right

I remember liveoverflow having a series on it

[crude stump]

Bet I’ll take a look thanks

[plush mesa]

Was talking about pwnie island 😅 But his channel is overall pretty good and i think he explains the workings of thr memory in his binary exploitation playlist

[crude stump]

Oh

Bet

[plush mesa]

LowLevelLearning also has some very good videos on C and reversing

[bitter quiver]

Bet

[crude stump]

Thanks

[plush mesa]

And i think theres a site called learnx

Learnc i meant of course

Np

[crude stump]

Gotta write all this down

[plush mesa]

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhixgUqwRTjxglIswKp9mpkfPNfHkzyeN

Those first videos should probably convey the fundamentals

[crude stump]

Damn

[plush mesa]

Actually thats more about the reversing stuff if you want to write some C Thats probably a bit too much for the start 😂

[crude stump]

😭

[plush mesa]

Hope i didnt confuse yoi, but write it down and give it a watch if youre interested

https://gamehacking.academy/pages/1/01/

This also explains a lot but isnt as in depth probably, depends how much explanation you need on different topics

[crude stump]

Awesome thanks again

[plush mesa]

Np, now im done ;)

[rapid merlin]

If I open a malicious file on my virtual machine for analysing. Is it likely to harm my computer or not?

[sand trench]

...

[sick lance]

Hi there, this topic is for advanced channels, but in short, if you've taken the correct precautions, it should not.

[plush mesa]

If you have to ask that question dont do it

[scenic bobcat]

Depends, the average malware wont but some more sophisticated ones can still do harm that way although they are quite rare afaik

[rapid merlin]

Ohk.

[sand trench]

yeah youtube is quickly going down the enshitifcation path

[scenic bobcat]

Oh right, am curious what is a good certificate to aim for when starting out, with interest in red teaming? i've heard of OSCP just wondering if there's any other ones that i should look up

[rapid merlin]

How am I supposed to analyse then? Would you mind me telling please?

I personally wouldnt execute it out of a VM but would use a dedicated laptop for it but im also a bit paranoid ;)

[sand trench]

seems like eCPPT is held in high regards for pentesting/red teaming certs too

[rapid merlin]

My bad brother.

[sick lance]

Come on man.

I literally just said not the channel.

[sand trench]

listen to scrubz

scrubz is good

[plush mesa]

Sorry 😞 just wanted to keep him safe

[sick lance]

My concern is they don't know to how sandbox it and whatever it is gets out.

[crude stump]

Starts seeing anonymous faces everywhere

Skulls and shi

😭

[outer rivet]

Hmm guys

Congratulations to scrubz

[sick lance]

Thank you.

[sand trench]

scrubz is gonna be the moderator shadow interacts the most with problably

as it seems scrubz and shadow is online about all the same time

[sick lance]

Yeah, more or less.

[rapid merlin]

Yeah for me too

What time is it for you Scrubz?

[sick lance]

21:12

[sand trench]

22:12 here

[rapid merlin]

Ah 1 hour difference

[sand trench]

so it makes sense

[rapid merlin]

Same

[sand trench]

so scrubz is weast of shadow

[sick lance]

Scotland.

[scenic bobcat]

same timezone 22:12 here too

[buoyant tree]

Scrubz do you have physical collections of the silent hill games

just saw on reddit they cost a LOT

[scenic bobcat]

but my sleep schedule is wrecked so i live in West-coast NA timezones basicaly

[plush mesa]

[...] about all the same time 😃

[sand trench]

lots of older games costs an arm and a leg

I love that :usa still shows a hotdog. 🤣

[sand trench]

what is it with usa and eating heated cainine beings

[normal fable]

No clue why it's called a hotdog..

[wintry sluice]

what is it with usa and marinading everything in corn syrup

[crude stump]

The corn that is for the syrup is ones of our main crops

[normal fable]

It also makes fuel.. and whiskey..

[crude stump]

Yeah

[sand trench]

why don't usa have a sugar tax

[crude stump]

And most farm animals eat that corn

[sand trench]

they seem to love taxes in the usa

[normal fable]

Here in WA we tax candies.. or used to at least.

[crude stump]

Would think it’s to limit the amount of taxes

Like our whole history is getting away from unnecessary taxes

That doesn’t include government taxes

[sick lance]

@boreal scarab Can I dm you?

[boreal scarab]

Feel free

[rapid merlin]

anyone here knows how to hack roblox accounts (||jk||)

[crude stump]

@sick lance does

[rapid merlin]

lol

[sick lance]

Why even joke about that?

It's unethical, and more importantly illegal.

[rapid merlin]

sorry :(

[crude stump]

Oh bruh that’s a jk

[sand trench]

keeps hacking away at holo

[rapid merlin]

imma play warthunder

[crude stump]

Do you guys have a sugar tax I’m guessing?

[sand trench]

nope sweden is one of the few countries in the EU that currently does not have a sugar tax

though we have VAT

[crude stump]

Personally I never heard of a sugar tax until now

[valid mauve]

Speaking of, gratz!

[sand trench]

it is a tax on sugar content in food

[sick lance]

Ty

[twin ridge]

Just an FYI, I know you're new here.

Had a little read over the #rules, this is a valuable community, and you can learn so much from both the server, and the website https://www.tryhackme.com

but black hat/unethical topics aren't welcome, that also includes jokes.

[sand trench]

if shadow could vote in a way where sweden would get a sugar tax they will

though probably not on the table by any major parties for now

[normal fable]

cheese tax

😛

[sand trench]

heh

like cheese is not crazy expensive enough

[crude stump]

Ain’t cheese a big export in Sweden

[normal fable]

Oh it is here..

[sand trench]

hmmmm

maybe if you count the following
präst
västerbottenost
port salut

if you want swedens biggest export it is probably timber

[crude stump]

TIMBERRR

[versed coral]

Its probally a good idea to use the vpn not the VMs right if doing med - hard boxes?

[crude stump]

Hm what do you mean why that

The attack box is a vm if that’s what you mean

[sick lance]

You need to run the OpenVPN offered by TryHackMe if you wish to communicate with the machines from your own VM

[sand trench]

running multiple vpns at the same time also tends to just go pffff

and you get no connection to tryhackme

[versed coral]

i might have just brain farted

Let me rephrase, Yes, i should probally use my own machine with the vpn that try hack me offers for harder boxes

seems like things arnt installed

ect

that id want to use

[normal fable]

I usually run openvpn from my Kali VM to connect to the THM network. Seems to work best.

[sand trench]

yeah that is what most people do

[versed coral]

The vms on the site seem ok for simpler things

i think i need to take THAT STEP

[sand trench]

spin up a kali linux vm and put openvpn on there and then connect to tryhackme:s openvpn server using the config from the access page

[normal fable]

AttackBox is pretty good. Just a little slow for me.

[lavish shell]

So, here's a question, if anyone knows a good answer to it: They say that the best way to stop an intruder is to turn off the machine. Is this true? I mean, doesn't electronics still emit radio frequencies even when powered off?

[versed coral]

depends if theyve set startup commands

then your fooked

[normal fable]

If you deplete the electrons, you will need to reapply the electrons for it to meep again.

[crude stump]

I have heard really advanced hackers can access your computer even if it’s off

[hazy pivot]

what's the thing you prefer the most in the hacking / computer science community?

[crude stump]

Don’t quote me on this bob

[versed coral]

i wont dont worry

[sand trench]

is that why sometimes shadows meeps turns into moops???

[normal fable]

Those are called 'burglars' 🤣

[naive violet]

What useful RF is it going to emit when doing nothing?

[crude stump]

😂

[lavish shell]

Indeed, some big tech guy said "Oh no one can hack my computer, because I never have it connected to the internet" lol, I just kinda luaghed and said Ok buddie lol

[normal fable]

You 'meep moop' when your electrons need replenishing. 🙂

[crude stump]

💀

[sick lance]

Say the computer has no internet access, all the USB ports are glued, and there is no way to get media on the computer.

And it's in a locked cupbord 24/7 with CCTV.

How are you going to hack it then?

[lavish shell]

I don't really know, at first glance perhaps nothing. But a good hacker knows how to work off of nothing, then take that nothing they found and turn it into a valued asset later. I'm not familiar with SDR so I can't say much either way

[naive violet]

I'm quite familiar with SDR

[hazy pivot]

by the power of luck? same thing as this mario speedrun where a cosmic ray shifted a bit at the precise moment the runner needed

[scenic bobcat]

h-how are they even going to use it at that point?

[naive violet]

There's precisely nothing happening RF wise of note if nothing is happening. Just power supply noise.

[normal fable]

I mean.. the sun emits RF.. lol

[crude stump]

They won’t

[lavish shell]

Radio signal analysis using the Software Defined Radio analysis technique. Just analyze the radio signals that the pc is emmitting

[sand trench]

heard that some computers can be turned "on" from ethernet ports for some specific use case but doubt that is relevant at this moment

[naive violet]

Great, you might find some info.
What would you do with that? You can't affect the computer, so it hardly counts as hacking it

[normal fable]

Naw. If your computer is off, then it's pretty safe from a remote threat..

Power surges might cause issues.. but likely not.

[buoyant tree]

eh heard a super specific case study about exfiltration of data via fan speed

but probably not in the locked cuboard

you would need to be relatively close to it

[sand trench]

shadow has seen scripts for toggling numpad and capslock and scroll lock to blink the leds on the keyboard to exfiltrate data... but that is super niche

[lavish shell]

I ask because I read an article about some hackers who used SDR to hack into a pc that was offline, not necessarily powered off, but not connected to internet. https://siliconangle.com/2014/01/15/the-nsa-uses-good-old-fashioned-radio-waves-to-hack-offline-computers/
