Hey guys, im new to this and im just going through the Linux Fundamentals part 2, im logging in with ssh using the username and the ip of my vm, and then typing in the password it provides in the task but it says permission denied. Am i missing something obvious?

[oblique hearth]

bro , you know password is tryhackme

[wanton eagle]

yes

[oblique hearth]

then

[neon portal]

Hey everyone

I have a problem that very hard to solve

My friend's server has "drama" with another server that attack our server very much, they scam us and trapped us, and I want to nuke their server, but their server has "Wick Bot" and the owner has "admin perm" while I don't have, and the owner didn't accept the bots, so do everyone have a way to add nuke bots without admin perms?

I'm just new here

[worn thorn]

better solve it with your friend and the people involved with that.

[boreal scarab]

@sick lance or @whole yew knows how

[wanton eagle]

ah, i hadnt started the target machine lmao

[sick lance]

No,

Don't bring your drama in here, this isn't that we can and will help with.

[sick lance]

Report it to Discord.

[neon portal]

Report the enemy's server to Discord?

Wish it could help

[sick lance]

If the server is harrasing you, yes.

[wintry sluice]

you need to use the username provided by the task, and the IP of the machine you started for the task

[sick lance]

Discord can do more than us.

[neon portal]

How to report?

[sick lance]

#room-help please

[sick lance]

If you're a member right click report, not.

Probably email Discord

are yall using android or iphone

[shut hawk]

android

[rapid merlin]

[shut hawk]

not paying $$$ for apple

[rapid merlin]

but my friend keep begging me to stop using android and start using iphone

[rapid merlin]

samsung is better

[simple valve]

iphone

bc im a basic bitch

[rapid merlin]

lmao

[shut hawk]

meh whatever works honestly

[whole yew]

Not really. Both companies prioritize data collection over user experience. If anything samsung is even more greedy than apple.

[shut hawk]

I just find android based ones a lot more affordable then apple, I also dont like being locked in its eco-system

[rapid merlin]

I just don't like the os iphone has

[wintry sluice]

but jayy, the next update will let you rearrange icons on the home screen!!

[grizzled wing]

the only thing i dont like about android phones is if youre not getting their top line phones, youre rly not getting a good experience

[grizzled wing]

i rely on pidgeons to carry messages

[simple valve]

i bought a xiaomi poco just for convenience, it became useless with all the lags around 6-8 months in

I'd only ever buy a midrange, the performance is fine

[plucky folio]

espically samsung diff hard on A series and galaxy series

[rapid merlin]

I have samsung galaxy

[naive violet]

It's the Galaxy A series

[grizzled wing]

phones have flattened out , no real need to go high end

[plucky folio]

ohhh

s series?

ye S**

[naive violet]

Naught wrong with the midrange a series though

[wintry sluice]

galaxy A series is the mid range
S series is the fancy bells and whistles big money range

[whole yew]

if i could find a tablet i liked, i'd with with the dumbest phone possible (probably nokia 6300g or equivalent) and delegate all smart-device tasks to the paired tablet.

[grizzled wing]

go with low end then put Kali or some other Linux OS on it

[simple valve]

yeah, kinda want their A53 series just as a side phone

[plucky folio]

yeahhh i lost s24 ult and bought A73 and yeah the diff is noticeable

[rapid merlin]

for now I have shitty phone samsung galaxy s10 but in a year ill buy my self maybe a new one I just don't use phones much

[wintry sluice]

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY DOCUMENTATION SOURCES FOR COMMAND ON LINUX

[rapid merlin]

COOOOl

[shut hawk]

I've had it for 3 months, performance has been good, refresh rate very smooth - the glymp interface is a fun gimmick. The charging rate is phenomenal, very very fast but the batter does deplete quicker than other phones I've had. My favourite features definitely are the home screen widgets and options, as well as the double-tap power button for an action

All in all, I enjoyed using it a lot so far and the price I paid (£250 ish) is worth it imo

[sand trench]

[grizzled wing]

do you use tldr ?

[sand trench]

yeah but those are custom made and not offical documentation sources but fair point

[loud marlin]

[gray sonnet]

I don't know what the second word means but I'm assuming it's good

[grizzled wing]

walking dead process

[sand trench]

DESCRIPTION
       The command kill sends the specified signal to the specified processes or process groups.

       If no signal is specified, the TERM signal is sent. The default action for this signal is to terminate the process. This signal should be used in preference to the KILL signal (number 9), since a
       process may install a handler for the TERM signal in order to perform clean-up steps before terminating in an orderly fashion. If a process does not terminate after a TERM signal has been sent,
       then the KILL signal may be used; be aware that the latter signal cannot be caught, and so does not give the target process the opportunity to perform any clean-up before terminating.

       Most modern shells have a builtin kill command, with a usage rather similar to that of the command described here. The --all, --pid, and --queue options, and the possibility to specify processes by
       command name, are local extensions.

       If signal is 0, then no actual signal is sent, but error checking is still performed.

[brisk tree]

It is. I’m beyond caring now as I watch my savings run dry 😅😂

[deft bobcat]

Found an arbitrary class load vulnerability in a Java app in some software

Essentially; if you can get access to be able to write files
You can write a script into its scripts directory
And the script can then exploit the runtime to get java.lang.Class

[crude stump]

Report it

[deft bobcat]

Yeah I've reported it

[crude stump]

Good

[deft bobcat]

Turns out making a scripts folder that can run .js files that aren't checked by anti-virus like .jar files are is a bad idea

Especially when the .js file can access the Java runtime

And load a limited set of classes

It works by just grabbing a public class that for some ungodly reason has an unprotected list of every class loaded into Java
Except a few classes

You can then just go $ClassNameCacheEntry.getClazz()

[grizzled wing]

im good, trying to stay !bored , could do postgreSQL learning but need to just relax

[deft bobcat]

And whabam we got java.lang.Class

Which can reflect our way to java.lang.Runtime and java.io.FileWriter

[lament tendon]

That is cool and all but instead of explaining the vulnerability to us you should report and explain it to the developers so they can fix it.

[grizzled wing]

rivers is to bank accounts

[deft bobcat]

I have

They are aware of it

And it will be fixed

[lament tendon]

Oh, I see.

Then it is just cool.

[brisk tree]

Pretty rare as well, I hardly ever hear of arbitrary class load.

[grizzled wing]

i dont know Java, just ☕

[lament tendon]

Maybe 'cus I avoid Java wherever I can tho. xD

[crude stump]

Yeah was bouta say, idk if explaining the vulnerability before the devs actually fix it is helping the cause

[blazing granite]

yes, I need to pick up my SQL skills too 😂

[grizzled wing]

Java is where you have to deal with garbage collection and i dont want to get my hands dirty 😆

So you can make a narrow filter at that frequency and all is right in the world

the grease will instantly vaporize

you could build your own, but you'll have a lot to learn about laser safety

[sand trench]

laser safety is the reason shadow got rid of all their laser pointers

even though they were marked as being below 5mW

[wintry sluice]

5 mega watts!?

milliwatts so weak

[grizzled wing]

what about 1.21 gigawatts ?

[sand trench]

what ever you do do not hit a reflective surface with that laser

[grizzled wing]

okay

[sand trench]

milliwatts

according to the FCC in the usa that is the max power for eye safe lasers

as the blink reflex is fast enough to make you close your eyes if you accidentally shine it into them

the problem is all the crappy laser pointers on a lot of sites have dubious checks and balances for being safe

[boreal scarab]

Hydra, ya like what happened to my Xeon 2620?

yeah but with 1.21 gigawatts you will light a very large fire everywhere if you hit a reflective surface

[shell nova]

Did you burn a cap?

[naive violet]

v1 ?

[shell nova]

Probably wouldn't even have time to reflect tbh

[sand trench]

yeah.... with that amount of power in a laser the only safe thingy to do is make sure it never turns on

[shell nova]

aside from the fact that you need a small nuclear power plant to power it

[boreal scarab]

Idk what happened, I took it out to look at it, I look at the bottom and there's a missing capacitor

[shell nova]

might not be an important cap?

[naive violet]

They're all smoothing/decoupling I reckon

Old xeons are cheap though

[boreal scarab]

Prob not. That's a 2620, I have no need for it at all, came out of my server that I put 2x 2680's in

Not even constant 9 ghz

[scenic bobcat]

Yeaa, still cool as heck tho and no doubt the stuff the learned from that will eventually trickle down to our normal CPUs 👀 like when the record OC was like 4ghz or something now everyone has that

[boreal scarab]

How times are changing so fast... my 7700k I have OCed to 4.8 ghz. Now you see 6 Ghz

[flat sky]

hi

I need to ask a serious

question

to someone about white hat hacking and tracing?

anyone free

[sick lance]

Just ask.

[flat sky]

okay

so

there was this girl who was just talking in a group I got kicked from, and she then started threatening my friend and she said if she '...' him she will call police and blame me, if I were to track her ip to find her school or parents socials and contact them would that still be aloud/ legal?

idk if she ment it fully serious

but if i did for my saftey of my friend is it bad?

[sick lance]

No, that would not be ethical.

[whole yew]

you can report the incident to the proper authorities

school admin, police but unless actual events take place, don't expect any action

[flat sky]

oh okay

thanks!

I just was making sure if it was ethical or not, thanks.

[tawny magnet]

It is wise to have a paper trail started though

[boreal scarab]

Back when 4 cores 8 threads was enough... now you got 24 cores, 32 threads in 14900's..

Heyho peeps 🙂

I was looking around at keyboards and realized that there are a hell lot of keyboards out there so i wanted to kick of a discussion.
What is your preferred Keyboard, why and for which purpose do you mainly use it 😄

I'll start.
I use the MX Keys most of the times when at work cause it's very quiet 🥲

At home i use a corsair K55 Pro cause in the store i thought it looks cool

[scenic bobcat]

back when 8gb of ram was good, now you cant even open chrome

[boreal scarab]

[shy thicket]

Hi

I am looking to complete this https://www.mosse-institute.com/us-military-careers/cyber-operations-specialist.html , to sharp my red team skills, I was not able to find enough reviews online to make decision if this is worth it.

[naive violet]

Built my Keychron Q5 with MT3 BoW keycaps and box royal switches. Really really nice

[scenic bobcat]

i still dont get assembly tho
like.. i know the registers etc. and moving stuff in and out, the stack i "know" the basics of that; but i can just not get a decent grasp on like actually understanding it 😅

[scenic bobcat]

Keychron do sound nice
i got a fancy "custom"-ish one which i am quite happy with
Board; Tofu65 2.0, aluminum plate, hotswap
Keycaps; PBTfans Poco for mine and PBTfans purpurite
Switches; Durock Black Lotus T1 Switch

[remote goblet]

uih, black on white looks nice!
But don't they get dirty very quickly? 😮

[thorny walrus]

reddit has a some feedback on them

[naive violet]

They show some dust but otherwise nah.

[naive violet]

Typing on a smol custom, 60%, PC plate, soldered, cheap key caps and alu case

Box royals again

[buoyant tree]

Use firefox

[naive violet]

I've got like 4 mechanical keyboards...

[scenic bobcat]

I do, just memeing chrome's ram usage

[buoyant tree]

Good

[naive violet]

That's a hell of a wrist rest

[scenic bobcat]

Yeaa its quite nice

so heavy too

[naive violet]

My q5 is literally like 2kg

Maybe 1-1.5

[buoyant tree]

wait a second is that the actual weight with?

I got a Q5 pro coming in a few months

[scenic bobcat]

idk how heavy mine is, but i do need a decent bit of effort to lift it up 😅

[buoyant tree]

or the Q6

[crude stump]

Look it up on YouTube

[scenic bobcat]

Built one at the time with gf; to replace my old corsair one 😅

[naive violet]

2.3KG

[crude stump]

Check comments, listen to what the YouTuber has to say etc

[scenic bobcat]

wouldnt be suprised if mine is also at that weight~ or close to

[buoyant tree]

Perhaps I may need to reconsider my keyboard choice

[naive violet]

It uh... doesn't move unless you want it to

[crude stump]

What is that supposed to me

Does it have a mind of its own

[remote goblet]

the keychron q6 max in shell white reminds me of those old keyboards from the 1998s/2000s

[buoyant tree]

eh was planning on keeping tthe keyboard on my lap and my laptop on a stand/table thingy

[crude stump]

Oh wait nvm

[naive violet]

It's so heavy that it doesn't move by accident

[crude stump]

Oh that’s good

[naive violet]

I have a proper 90s beige one here too

[crude stump]

How you liking it

[naive violet]

The Q5 is lovely, I use it at work

[remote goblet]

you know each program coded with one of these is a banger.
Most typically used for assembly or writing ip's in binary

[crude stump]

https://tenor.com/view/the-matrix-green-gif-15207967675958451104

[remote goblet]

the q5s do look nice. I think I'mma gonna get one of those once i start working on my home office space :3

[crude stump]

i want a old green monochrome monitor.

prolly super expensive tho

[naive violet]

Amber >>> green

Google "adversarial makeup"

[crude stump]

I’ll see

[crude stump]

Yeah amber does look clean too

It’s more pleasing on the eyes too

I had a plan to build a sleeper rig, with beige case but man, prices are crazy on those beige case that is in a good condition

[jovial cypress]

take it in a worse condition and make it look like already wear and tear, could add up to the aesthetic imo

[buoyant tree]

then probably better to buy it in the US directly

Have you done the Pickle Rick ctf? What do you think about it?

[minor valley]

share the link plz?

[hazy pivot]

https://tryhackme.com/r/room/picklerick

it's on try hack me

[scenic bobcat]

this assembly is hurting my brain every time i think i understand how it works and trying to do like a writeup on it, i realize.. "no, thats not right; it worked.. but not cause of that" 😅

[hazy pivot]

typical assembly learning curve: "OH I GET THAT"... 5secs later: "i hate my life and that stupid language"

[clever shard]

just finished mr robot's ctf and the loneliness hit like a rock

[hazy pivot]

why?

[scenic bobcat]

Yeaa i did this RE thing on crackmes and like "ohh i solved it super fast "
doing the writeup and i was like... waiiiitt i got tricked.. i did solve it but didnt need to do all that

[clever shard]

I been keeping this ctf for a special day like today. I was exited while doing it. but now I get that feeling after watching/eating something good

idk what wrong w me

maybe iam elliot

[hazy pivot]

🤣

same thing for me an Pickle Rick, i did stuff that was soo useless

[scenic bobcat]

Yeaa, am doing Pwn101 rn or trying too

i've done the most basic, "buffer overflows" before but like never did anything past that was hoping it would get explained in that room but seems to be more of a ctf thing than learning 😅

[hazy pivot]

i have found a really good explanation

lemme 1sec

[scenic bobcat]

also still trying to get the hang of it; i "know" the basics of it all, just dont fully grasp it yet 😅

[hazy pivot]

https://kuafu1994.github.io/HackWithGDB/ASM.html

this is prety good

it's a hands-on example of stack buffer overflow with gdb

and explain basics concepts around assembly and the stack

[scenic bobcat]

Yea gdb is what i've been using

[hazy pivot]

it's a pretty good tutorial

[scenic bobcat]

Yeaa, i just learned from LiveOverflow's binary exploitation vids

i suck at reading a lot tho which is why thm's content has been nice 😅 adhd brain goes zoom

[scenic bobcat]

I'll check it out after i finish chall2 here

That is true. Oh well I might just knock to neighbours and see if they got an old machine from early 2000s that they want to get rid off lol

[real compass]

im sure FB market place or your local e-waste place might have something

[boreal scarab]

We got rid of old early 90's computers.... we actually still have a VERY old, non weathered early 90's computer. Csnt remember what it is

[scenic bobcat]

I'm still banging my head on the same thing

[scenic bobcat]

Ahhh, it's just a stackmash/buffer overflow only? cause already know that part - its anything past that i tend to get stuck

[blazing granite]

how can be very old if it was from the 90s 😂

[boreal scarab]

Because I'm old as shit

[blazing granite]

something that is from the 90s isn't old 😂

Also you're not old, you're younger than me 😂

[boreal scarab]

I feel old XD

[blazing granite]

that's a different thing, you can be 20 and feel old

[chilly veldt]

Don't expose me like that

[blazing granite]

I'm 47 and young 😂

[crude stump]

anything passed 70 i feel like is considered truly "old"

[versed coral]

Erm..

ive got chat gpt showing me how to generate high volume of udp conneciton

im not sure this is supose to happen

[proven quartz]

My 78 year old father still works in his office, plays tennis and walks and drives regularly. My 80 year old neighbour refit his roof last summer solo and recently installed installed an outside camera. We have beers together most weeks.

I mean... technically its a ddos scripot

in python

[crude stump]

hm

what would yu consider old subtetly

you

[versed coral]

DISCLAIMER ive not read it through

but it seems very strange its happy to show me this

[mossy river]

Don’t send DOS scripts here…

[proven quartz]

It depends on the person and their attitude, how they treated their mind and body in life

[crude stump]

i like that answer

[mossy river]

That’s not what a DDoS attack is

[crude stump]

complexity

[versed coral]

"denial of service "

flooding packets

i mean

pretty much is?

[crude stump]

thats dos ddos is distributed

[mossy river]

No, if it’s coming from one device it’s a Denial of Service attack.

[versed coral]

right

[crude stump]

thats actually very true

you can, using curl, but i don't see why you wouldn't just have the THM room you're doing open in a browser, and use the terminal for the commands you're learning.

[blissful ore]

can anyone help me hack

nope

[midnight hazel]

no not much

first to find the secret flag in my profile gets a cookie.

[crude stump]

Well that’s what I’m doing

[crude stump]

Almost like it’s not secret

[midnight hazel]

i hide flags everywhere in all my stuff

[scenic bobcat]

Read the rules- It's illegal

[ember tartan]

Are you using you're own terminal on your system???

[crude stump]

Ignore em, the mods are afk at the moment they will handle it

[tropic stratus]

Wait, you're not supposed to do that?

I use my own terminal because I don't really know any other way to execute commands lol

unless there's some secret I don't know about

[blazing granite]

Mods have been aware of the situation

[scenic bobcat]

It's Kali, so i assume it's a VM

[crude stump]

That’s not his own terminal. That’s Kali

[ember tartan]

That's what I am trying to do.

But I'm still in the rookie stage.
Looking for answers before I go off on yet another side quest.

[ember tartan]

I'm so confused.

[crude stump]

Don’t use your own terminal to run commands. Use a VM

[scenic bobcat]

You can but prefferably keep as much of stuff around cybersec in VM's cause its a liittle bit more safe

[wild bane]

well, my actually system looks more like this.

[tropic stratus]

You mean use your local, non-VM terminal?

or use the terminal in Kali

[crude stump]

What they have is a virtual machine that has Kali Linux a operating system

[tropic stratus]

becaus eI use the terminal in Kali

[crude stump]

Terminal in Kali

[tropic stratus]

Ah

yeah I use the kali terminal

[crude stump]

Don’t use your own main computer terminal

[midnight hazel]

@ember tartan are u by any chance silver_fox1000

[wild bane]

guake is kinda neat

[midnight hazel]

yeah i learnt that

[crude stump]

Good

Wrong thing

[tropic stratus]

Why not?

[ember tartan]

NOPE!

[scenic bobcat]

Obsidian enjoyer i see

i keep my notes on my Host OS tho

incase i brick my VM

[tropic stratus]

I mean I've been thinking of installing hashcat on my local OS I'm running the VM on to take advantage of my hardware better

AH

[scenic bobcat]

Okay, so that is totally valid

[tropic stratus]

For what it's worth

I've intentionally bricked my VM a few times, but i made sure to back it up first

[crude stump]

Because your main computers operating system is connected to your computer, so unless you know what your doing you might jack up your computer on accident.

[wild bane]

bold of you to assume my vault isn't on a moveable drive.

[scenic bobcat]

but like other files, debugging, executables etc. -> VMs

[crude stump]

And also if you on windows its different from Linux

[thorny walrus]

Why not set up a drive sync?

[tropic stratus]

Like literally the very first thing once I set up my kali VM

[blazing granite]

make a snapshot so you can restore the vm without reinstalled the whole thing

[tropic stratus]

wa I backed up, then I did a sudo rm rf / to delete everything. (FYI never do this unless you've backed up the machine first) becaus I was curious to see what would happen

[scenic bobcat]

I did

[thorny walrus]

[scenic bobcat]

[wild bane]

when's the last time you played elite?

[scenic bobcat]

ehh around the time the first titan died

i didnt do anything to it tho just died lol

[thorny walrus]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-tongue-out-cute-adorable-animal-gif-17123205

[crude stump]

No wonder you bricked your machine

[wild bane]

this game has built in aim bot, just press ATL+F4 to open the console.

[tropic stratus]

Yeah lol. Again I backed it up first

No actual damage was done, I restored from a snapshot.

[wild bane]

the * is redundant btw.

[tropic stratus]

because of no preserve root?

[scenic bobcat]

I still dont understand how this solution i got for chall2 worked tho

like.. null-bytes is to mark the end of strings right?

[wild bane]

because recursive and no preserve, together.

Go on, give it a try.

You know you want to.

[tropic stratus]

I'll have to make another snapshot frist

either way the results were rather comical

[wild bane]

pfft. you don't need to, just give it a try.

[tropic stratus]

everything closed out, then the terminal stopped responding to my commands saying "no command ofund" etc

GUi disappeared

and after like 10 seconds of being in limbo, I was reverted to a black screen with a flashing "_" in the top left xD

[wild bane]

"Importance of \0
The null character plays an indispensable role in string management. Without it, functions like strlen(), strcpy(), and many others would have no means of determining where a string ends. It acts as a sentinel value, signaling to various string-handling functions that the end of the string has been reached." - https://codedamn.com/news/c/what-is-0-null-byte-in-c

[tropic stratus]

Same thing when I had my first windows VM, first thing I did after I set it up was immediately make a backup then delete system32 just because there was so many jokes and memes about doing it, I wanted to see what would happen if you actually did it

[scenic bobcat]

Yea i know what it does just confused it's an option to pass it in a payload 😅

[tropic stratus]

and I remember as it was being deleted I was refreshing my computer like mad trying to see how much space it freed up but the computer BSOD'd before it was finished deleting sadly

[wild bane]

if you haven't done echo Hello World yet, you should

[tropic stratus]

that prints hello world in the console, doesn't it?

[wild bane]

you can use it to prematurely end a string or parameter deffinition, for bypasses and stuff.

same with #

[scenic bobcat]

I didnt prematurely end the string it was data.\x00.moredata

[wild bane]

@scenic bobcat if you wanna game ED some time, im game. I'd have to reinstall it tho. Been on a hunt:showdown bender, since the latest event. CryTek finnaly figured out how to balance event traits.

[wild bane]

what did you use it to do?

what room/task?

[scenic bobcat]

idk if i can just post that since it's the solution to one of the rooms? pwn101 chall2

[wild bane]

ah

[crude stump]

Also be careful with that command, recursion is very dangerous if you don’t know what your doing

[scenic bobcat]

i can mby dm it? if you've already done it or are not going to anyway

[wild bane]

ye sure

[tropic stratus]

Yeah I never use rm

I usually right click and send to trash

[crude stump]

You can use rm but don’t recurse it

Unless you know what your deleting

[wild bane]

you can use rm no problem, just think about what you're deleting if you're doing rm -r

[tropic stratus]

then check the trash to make sure I'm not deleting anything I'll regret, then empty it

crap, I might have deleted some stuff with rm -r

my Kali Linux still runs fine tho so I guess it wasn't important

[buoyant tree]

hi

[tropic stratus]

usually I right click send to trash

[crude stump]

Do whatever you feel comfortable

Recursion is scary

[wild bane]

recursive means it'll delete everything from the designated start-off down. so if you set the start to be "Dir1" and inside /Dir1/Dir2/file.txt.
rm Dir1 will throw an error, as Dir1 isn't empty. While rm -r will delete "file.txt" then "Dir2" then "Dir1".

[tropic stratus]

I see, good to know

rm -r removes directories

while rm only removes files

[wild bane]

rm -r removes everything

[wild bane]

As you can see, i made the dir/dir/file set as in the example i made. And rm makes an error rm -r removes both dirs and the file

[molten sky]

👀

i'm out of practice tho cause life got in the way for a bit, I plan on getting back up to speed pretty soon

[midnight hazel]

i like that color

[sick lance]

This is illegal, also more importantly, we're not hackers for hire.

@tropic stratus and @wild bane

Let's not type commands out that cause harm to OS, I wouldn't like somebody new to this field copy and paste it and do something to thier own system.

[rapid merlin]

I am gonna be doing a ctf
What kind of wireshark challenges can I expect
It's been a while since I used it
I just have to read packet by packet for the flag?
How do u check files with thousands of packets?

[hidden hazel]

Wireshark has filters...

[hidden hazel]

Not tryna be rude but if someone bricks there own system isnt that kinda their fault i mean we have all done it and thats how we learn

[wild bane]

TY, it's the THM lime-green.

[midnight hazel]

oh wow

[midnight hazel]

damn

[sick lance]

I haven't done it.

I don't copy/paste unknown commands from the Internet on my system.

We don't allow such commands so people don't do it.

[sick lance]

Yeah?

[hidden hazel]

I mean like we have all had to re install our os cuz we messed something up but nvm

[sick lance]

You're not getting the point.

It's literally against server rules.

TryHackMe Rules · Apr 1, 2024, 4:41 AM

[hidden hazel]

Ik thats why i said nvm

[whole yew]

There's a lot of very new people to linux who absolutely run commands that they see posted. It's easier on everyone (and cuts out a lot of drama) if the commands just don't get posted.

There's also the additional factor that if we don't have that rule, someone will think it's cute and funny to troll that way and that's just rude.

[hidden hazel]

Yeah i understand

[whole yew]

Thanks

[tropic stratus]

Yeah, I've seen some people try to trick epople into running it saying it's to remove the french language pack etc. and I think that's evil/unethical

Hi, what is the difference between impersonation and spoofing? I read elsewhere the spoofing is deceiving specifically a technical target. Is impersonation the general term that entails spoofing but also deceiving humans with a fake personal identity or can spoofing also mean that something different than a personal identity is pretended, thus there is only an intersection with impersonation?

[fluid ember]

The two of them are interchangeable. If it tricks a computer it is spoofing attack, if it tricks a human then it is impersonation

[next cape]

so the relationship is just

impersonation -- generalize --> deception
spoofing -- generalize --> deception

[fluid ember]

Yeah

thanks

Hi just checking I'm still the highest level

Swag

[hazy pivot]

🤣

[sick lance]

Why would you not be? Lol

[toxic glen]

Just wondering if they updated the points or brought out a new level

[dire crane]

Mornin (at) all

[sick lance]

Hello

[dire crane]

hey Scrubz, hope you doing well? Feels like u are here 24/7 ^^

[sick lance]

I'm around alot. 😄

I'm good, you?

[stone osprey]

Hello, may I know why I can't type double quote (") in THM Machine?

[naive violet]

Keyboard layout issues probably

[wintry sluice]

what appears when you try to press it?

[stone osprey]

it show nothing (blank)

single quote and double quote not work

I use mac

[wintry sluice]

very strange

[rapid merlin]

Keyboard issue try switching to us layout or other

Oh mac

Idk mac

[stone osprey]

yes, i struggle for a long time but i try to copy double quote from my machine and paste into THM Machine.

Now I decided to ask if someone have the same issue and know how to fix it.

[stone osprey]

Let me try

[warm plover]

yo

[stone osprey]

I change default English keyboard language to the other English such as AU. now it work

[warm plover]

im new to all this

someone can teach me reverse programming any software to find out its weak points and get api?

[sick lance]

Some cases this could break ToS, you're not allowed to RE most major software, this isn't limited to operating systems such as Windows.

[warm plover]

yes

first of all i need linux

[rapid merlin]

🙏

[sick lance]

If you're new to this I would suggest starting with something more basic.

Depending on what is being RE'd

You may have no idea what you're looking at.

[warm plover]

yes

the thing

is

[plush mesa]

also hate to be the one to tell you but noone is going to spoon feed you

[warm plover]

idk the basics well

[naive violet]

What's your objective here? @warm plover

[warm plover]

cant disagree

nothing

just

build some tools

[arctic hollow]

learn the fundamentals, then go to the specifics. The fundamentals are often kinda boring, but once you get past it, its hella fun

[warm plover]

hhow do i learn it

lua, java

i cant just expertise them all in few days

[plush mesa]

Do you know any low level languages? Do you understand how memory works?

If you don't start with learning C

[arctic hollow]

exactly lol

then take ur time

[warm plover]

thanks

[naive violet]

Huh?

[warm plover]

i have saw

[deft bobcat]

What is metasploit?

[warm plover]

people doing fascinating things

i didnt knew can be possible

i am 16 y/o dealing with studies

[naive violet]

How's reverse engineering software going to help you with that goal?
Trying to work out if ypu're even pointed in the right direction

[sick lance]

That is a very easily something you can google...

[warm plover]

i dont know where to start

yk like

[deft bobcat]

So what is it?

[warm plover]

i wanna make some tools that use a bot's api

[naive violet]

What bot? A discord bot? A robot?
Does it have a public API?

How do you want to use the API? What do you want your tools to do?

[warm plover]

no

its

an applicaton

[plush mesa]

Learn C, once you're familiar with pointers and how memory works in general -> Start doing simple crackme's on THM and then for example crackmes.one as there isn't that many on THM, probably either using Ghidra or Binary Ninja free. only then you can really start doing anything a bit more advanced and you wont do that within 2 weeks

[naive violet]

??

[plush mesa]

np

[warm plover]

which has chat system games syste, and thing

[chilly veldt]

Morning

[warm plover]

i want to have "fun" using the chat system

[naive violet]

@warm plover You're being so incredibly vague

[plush mesa]

lol

dont step the wrong people on their feet

[warm plover]

cmon

its a unpopular kids game

[naive violet]

It's a third party tool for fortnite?

[plush mesa]

He said lua im guessing roblox

[warm plover]

nah

roblox ripoff

bmgo

ugh

[naive violet]

@warm plover You know trolling people is unethical, unauthorised access to the API is illegal, and reverse engineering is likely illegal right?

[warm plover]

ik

but whos there to report that to someone

[dire crane]

LUL

[grim sparrow]

:hammer: wraithsolos#0 has been banned.

[plush mesa]

tf even is bmgo

looks like a minecraft rip off

[sick lance]

I think it is.

A poor one at that.

[deft bobcat]

Hmmm

[jaunty prairie]

I feel he was the type we could have had rm -rf.

[naive violet]

That's arguably also illegal, definitely unethical, and absolutely not welcome behaviour here

[simple valve]

what

[naive violet]

@deft bobcat We discussed this.
Responsible disclosure

[deft bobcat]

Yea I've already done that

[naive violet]

And they've patched it and told you you can publish?

[grim shore]

Vulnerabilities 101: Using NVD, how many CVEs were published in July 2021? but the answer ist mot 1585. i need help please!!!

[naive violet]

#room-hints please

[grim shore]

i needs help for the task , i search in the web but the answer is not 1585.

[naive violet]

Please ask in #room-hints which is the appropriate channel for hints for rooms

[jaunty prairie]

sorry, I would never do it to someone. regarding @deft bobcat question. I have only ever found vulns in my internal organization. Clearly, I would not want to publish those. But say I did find something one day and notified company X. If they don't patch it, when does it become a fair game to publish?

I don't think you should publish anything about it being company X, but it should be public knowledge that the vuln exists

[naive violet]

This is why responsible disclosure exists

It generally sets out a timeframe for disclosing the issue

https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Vulnerability_Disclosure_Cheat_Sheet.html

[jaunty prairie]

should have figured OWASP would have something lol

[naive violet]

That's a really good read

[plush mesa]

Also telling others about a vulnerability before that time frame is over and if it hasnt been patched it might void your bounty (if there is one)

[naive violet]

It's definitely a violation of professional ethics.
You're here to improve the security of the world. It's an industry built on trust.

[jaunty prairie]

I have asked others around the web, curious what the general opinion is here. Is there actually money in searching for bounties? I feel it has become more of a YouTube SEO thing, and these people are making more money from TY talking about bounty hunting, then actually making money from the bounty

[naive violet]

Precisely

You can make money, but you should absolutely not rely on it as a job to pay bills

You can spend hours hunting and find nothing, or spend even longer building a poc for an awesome exploit chain only to get it closed as a dupe.

I know when I finish my day of pentesting, I'm getting paid for my work. There's no variability, I don't only eat this week if I find 3 high rated issues.

[jaunty prairie]

I like the way you put that.

[naive violet]

You end up with people in places with a low cost of living doing it for work, where a high rated bounty could pay their rent that month

[jaunty prairie]

thats true. dude from Kyrgyzstan making some USD on a high rate bounty would be nice

[naive violet]

It's like being self employed, but with even less stability

[jaunty prairie]

and working full time, and trying to find a bounty is hard haha

[sick lance]

I do BB in my spare time

[mossy river]

I sleep in my spare time

[chilly veldt]

I do CTFs in my spare time

[jaunty prairie]

do you make a decent amount? or is it just for the fun, and if you find something bonus?

[naive violet]

I think that's the only sensible way to approach it

[sick lance]

Eh, 2 small payouts and the rest dups.

[jaunty prairie]

see, I get doing it for the fun and for the learning aspect. Just, yeah. I dunno. A friend asked me recently why I don't go after them and play on THM and HTB. The only answer I could think of at the time was community.

I don't do much IRL with real people so hanging out in these rooms talking about hacking at this point in my career interests me more

I also have crazy imposter syndrome lol. I just feel that no matter what there is 8000 other people working on it who are 100% better than me already working on it
