general

[polar wraith]

and what are ways to detect one

[naive violet]

Wired or wireless?

Very easy to detect on a wired network, you look for macs that shouldn't be on that port

[cursive flame]

Hi everyone

Please who can help me out on Task 3

I did the exercise but didn't understand the question
" What is the flag that you obtained by following along?"

[jaunty prairie]

there is a file on the machine. user.txt, root.txt,flag.txt. something along those lines that needs to be pasted in

[simple valve]

I would assume one would just look at the MAC Address Table right?

[polar wraith]

wireless

[polar wraith]

but what if its an unknown mac address, one that was never seen in the mac address table

[simple valve]

I'd say that wouldn't be spoofing then, that's just a rogue MAC address

You can probably set up a MAC Address filter for known trusted addresses and then set up an alert when a rogue MAC address is detected

But I'm not a network admin so I'm not entirely sure its feasible

[jaunty prairie]

@simple valve seems like the right track

[plush mesa]

You could check the first 3 parts of the address to see which manufacteurer it belongs to. If its badly spoofed the person mightve just used a random one. Not sure how reliable this is as many smartphones spoof their mac address when connecting to APs

I dont know if for example apple devices still follow apple mac address naming after apoofing but they probablx do i guess

[proven quartz]

Many companies these days use 802.1x, commonly abbreviated to dot1x as a security mechanism to prevent spoofing

This means that all MAC addresses are managed through a list distributed to switches and managed centrally and all devices are given certificates to ensure validity

[naive violet]

Can be creds rather than certs, and it doesn't use the mac addresses but yes

Also not used as widely as you'd hope

[proven quartz]

We managed over 80,000 computers and phones this way on a company network where I worked previously

[woven veldt]

Im currently doing the linux fundamentals part 1 but the machine is not starting?

When i tried previously it worked just today it doesnt come up like usual

[mossy river]

Please do not self promote here

[crude bone]

Sorry

[waxen pilot]

curious to know at what time the monthy hacker leaderboard gets reset

[sick lance]

Midnight GMT.

[chilly veldt]

this is taking so long, I keep finding issues

[crude stump]

Hello

[polar wraith]

so basically mac address filtering?

[naive violet]

No, ignore mac addresses there
It's authentication, uses a radius server and certificates or credentials to authenticate before providing access

[oak river]

Just completed the Introduction to Cyber Security

THM is really good at explaining things

[crude stump]

Nice

[chilly veldt]

I hate setting up radius 😭

[sick lance]

Me too!

[chilly veldt]

It's so bad on cisco equipment

[naive violet]

@crystal cypress We don't offer help with active CTFs as it's considered cheating

[shut hawk]

Degree is better

[crystal cypress]

I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that this was a closed game though

[proven quartz]

We used Cisco Identity Services Engine, it required multiple senior engineers to manage and coordinate everything to do with it

[naive violet]

#room-hints please

[rapid merlin]

Got it, I'm new here.

[chilly veldt]

yeahhhh

we have to do it for school

[polar wraith]

ohh alright

yeah havent learned about radius yet, will soon

thanks!

[proven quartz]

It can be a lot of effort but it'll be worth it 🙂

[steel aspen]

What is "spare time"?

[chilly veldt]

yeah, it's nice to learn

also it's taken over 25 minutes to upload my machine to tryhackme

[rapid merlin]

Are you making a room?

[naive violet]

You not uploaded before?

[chilly veldt]

uploaded like 14 times now

[naive violet]

I remember the good old days where it'd upload at stupid low bitrate no matter how fast your upload

[chilly veldt]

yeee

I also have so shit upload speed at home

[naive violet]

I had Skidy personally grab a VM image from my Google Drive to upload it faster

[shut hawk]

feel ya 😢

[chilly veldt]

I got 300/60

[rapid merlin]

50/10

[chilly veldt]

[crude stump]

What’s that one website where you can find your internet speed

[rapid merlin]

speedtest.net

[crude stump]

Thanks

[rapid merlin]

Btw the ping is the worst part

[chilly veldt]

yup, that's why I put it with me

[rapid merlin]

[mossy river]

I received a notification that one of my passwords was leaked in a data leak!

[rapid merlin]

Wow!

[mossy river]

When I opened it, the password I used was password

[chilly veldt]

sorry, had to test it out

[rapid merlin]

Do yall use strong passwords for your lab machines?

/testing machines

[mossy river]

Strong under what grounds?

I usually try to include at least a symbol, number, capital letter and 8+ other characters.
Even though it is a lab machine, I am still interacting with public services etc.

[rapid merlin]

Random generated 12-16 character passwords

[polar wraith]

james for how long have u been hacking?

[naive violet]

Like 5 years? But general sysadmin and related things for a lot longer

[polar wraith]

damn thats a lot

i wanna be like u

[mossy river]

I was born wearing a hoodie and fingerless gloves

[steel aspen]

Your whole name reminds me of a name from a game I use to play lol small time mmo

[sudden mantle]

im trying to set up home lab and i bought HP Z440 10-Core E5-2640 v4 2.40GHz 128GB RAM 2x 2TB HDD No OS and acer monitor , please which graphic card will be good for the set up

[naive violet]

If you're just doing a homelab, all you need is a video output really

Although it depends what you need a GPU for

[surreal charm]

Bro got a 2tb HDD

Wait...128gb ram?

[dawn plover]

Guys, I'm sorry in advance if I'm going against any community rules, but I'm desperate and I need help.

I was scammed by a person on Facebook who was the moderator of a community with 150,000 people, a community for exchanging and selling CS2 skins, after I paid this person to buy a skin, he simply blocked me from everything and removed me of the group, leaving me with nothing. can anybody help me? Thanks in advance!

[naive violet]

2 of them

@dawn plover There's nothing we can do

Contact the police.

[surreal charm]

Ooh..sorry about that bro

[spice adder]

Just been reading some documentation on XZ. The whole social engineering aspect of that backdoor is a vector I was wondering about just yesterday:o

[naive violet]

It's not a gaming PC, so huge amounts of RAM like that are quite normal

I've got 3 machines in here, one with 32g, one with 48, one with 96

[surreal charm]

I never knew a pc can hold so much ram.. I'm such an amateur

[naive violet]

That's a workstation so a bit more than a normal PC

Servers too, you can easily do 1 or 2 TB

[sick lance]

I just have 64GB or ram right now in my mobile workstation

[narrow pewter]

8Gb on my main machine and 4 in my kali machine... I can't even begin to imagine so much RAM....

[bold dawn]

sounds like he got a server

[naive violet]

Workstation so not quite

[sick lance]

I need to set my server up

[cunning igloo]

hmmm

[narrow pewter]

What's the diference between a workstation, a gaming PC and a server?

[bold dawn]

I have got some of my servers running, but I need to set up my big one

[surreal charm]

Wow wow...how can a physical ram be stored in a server
Maybe I'm just dumb or I don't understand non of this

[bold dawn]

A server is a physical device

it's a large computer with a lot of resources

in very basic terms

[cunning igloo]

Workstation is less Powerfull then a Server but still powerfull enough to make a small Lab running.

A Gaming-PC is focusing mainly on GPU/CPU for 3D-Games.

A Server is like a Server with bunch of load of RAM/CPU/SOCKETs etc.

[naive violet]

Gaming PC is just a typical PC with a GPU, workstation is working towards server specs so typically a higher build quality, more RAM and more IO. Server is that taken to the extreme. Designed to run all the time, often redundant power supplies and stuff so that even if one goes bang the server keeps running

[surreal charm]

Damn!!

[narrow pewter]

Thank you 🙂

[surreal charm]

Ooohh.. thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @naive violet (current: #2 - 2111)

[worldly dagger]

Is there a way to learn binary exploitation with already old and patched CVEs?

[surreal charm]

But...how come you guys know so much about workstation, gaming PC and servers?

[naive violet]

How do you learn about anything?
You read about it, play with them

[worldly dagger]

Geeking out probably, and also Computer Science careers (?

[worldly dagger]

And also this, of course

[surreal charm]

Y'll learnt from college 😅..huh

[sick lance]

So I have a mock practical exam for SoC....

Guy gave us live malware, no virtual environment 🙈

[worldly dagger]

It was just an idea 🙂

[naive violet]

Not overly.

[surreal charm]

Yeah... I'll blame my country for this 😔

[thorny walrus]

You don't need to go to college

I myself am skipping it

and self learning

[narrow pewter]

I'm self learning too 🙂

[surreal charm]

😅 you ain't scared

[thorny walrus]

of what?

[thorny walrus]

W

[surreal charm]

Never mind bro

[thorny walrus]

oh alright

[crude stump]

Ninja how many years have you been hacking

[worldly dagger]

I'm sorry but I am genuinely interested on this question lol

[crude stump]

That’s crazy

[cunning igloo]

Could be better.

[crude stump]

Do you have a isolated sandbox you can do it on?

[naive violet]

@crude stump

[crude stump]

Only 5?? Your so knowledgeable I thought it would be longer

[cunning igloo]

I have been working in the IT for over 10 years. Would be sad if stuff you get taught in the first 1-2 years will be gone immediatly.

[tropic stratus]

guys, check this out

[crude stump]

ik that link RICKROLl

[tropic stratus]

I can't get the link to work, was it taken down?

[sick lance]

Which link?

[crude stump]

Wdym

[tropic stratus]

Come on, it's april fools, it's like the perfect time to post it

the admin tryhackme thing

that is just a rickroll lol

[mossy river]

https://admin.tryhackme.com/login

[tropic stratus]

yeah thats it

[shut hawk]

no it's the admin panel

[crude stump]

Totally

[narrow pewter]

Yeah, totally

[crude stump]

I still don’t understand how that works lol

[mossy river]

It's just a redirect

[chilly veldt]

this is actually the only day of the year where the admin page is actually the admin page

[crude stump]

Oh

Bruh I’m goofy

[shut hawk]

😱

||Not real, April fools||

[crude stump]

WHAT

[oak river]

Does tryhackme look for translator contributions?

[worn thorn]

would be nice though

[crude stump]

Bruh

[narrow pewter]

It seam more like an alias. I have Brave prepared to block redirects and it still opened the youtube

[mossy river]

All content is currently only in English:)

[crude stump]

Oml I’m just getting Apriled fools a lot today

[mossy river]

wym an alias

[oak river]

Wait is this serious?

[sick lance]

It's not?

[sick lance]

Yes, better move your providor.

[mossy river]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/301

[crude stump]

Google man smh

[oak river]

Just asking Jabba-san ❤️

[crude stump]

San is crazy

[oak river]

Well, looks like its a hoax

[oak river]

-kun then?

😏

[narrow pewter]

Brave did not block, so it's my hyphothesis 🤷‍♂️

[mossy river]

What do you mean by "alias"

[oak river]

I mean there's no way Gmail can be sunsetting, this is insane

[narrow pewter]

It blocks grabify redirects, so it should have worked

[worn thorn]

it blocks known suspicious links

[shut hawk]

Yeah because it probably looks for the grabify domain

[mossy river]

It's just a redirect

[narrow pewter]

I read that it is possible to redirect directly in the dns, so like put two domaind in the same ip, so they are the same thing

[pallid lotus]

It can't block all redirects or you'd basically break the internet

[sick lance]

This is seriously how my Uni is giving us Malware for a SoC class...

[pallid lotus]

Well. Your experience of it

[hushed fern]

i feel like they do this same joke every year

[narrow pewter]

Ok, then any idead of why it did not block?

[sick lance]

Every day 😅

[hushed fern]

OGs remember that gmail got announced originally on 4/1 and a lot of peple didn't think it was real w/ all the free storage

[worn thorn]

well google like to kill off services on a semi regular basis

[narrow pewter]

True

[crude stump]

💀

That’s actually crazy

[pallid lotus]

Because you can't block 301 responses without destroying legitimate functionality lmao

[narrow pewter]

Ok, thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @pallid lotus (current: #9 - 746)

[shut hawk]

So....where are you supposed to download it, if not on your machine, virtual environment or sandbox environment?

[pallid lotus]

i.e whatever Brave is doing must be detection based. Whatever metrics it's using don't cover the THM admin rick roll

=> No block

[sick lance]

Uni computers 😄

[crude stump]

A secure uni computer right

[pallid lotus]

When you say live malware...

You mean literally off the shelf?

[sick lance]

I have no idea what it is yet, it's titled update.pdf

[pallid lotus]

Well, download it on a uni system and find out

[shut hawk]

[crude stump]

Why would they not name it something that’s not so casual as update

[sick lance]

I need to way until Thursday. 😂

[sick lance]

SoC enviorment, innit?

[crude stump]

Oh

True

Lmao

[sick lance]

You woudnt' download it if was called This is malware.pdf

Well, I would...

[crude stump]

Free WiFi maybe

[hushed fern]

i might

[crude stump]

[narrow pewter]

Me too, just to have fun analysing it 😉

[mossy river]

it's a pdf, how can it be malicious!!! /s

[pallid lotus]

add_ram.exe

[crude stump]

Get this person a computer!!

[sick lance]

I have no idea, I think it's an April Fools from my lecturer.

[crude stump]

ASAP

[dire crane]

I mean, it's like when someone says don't press the button. Maybe also a new Phishing tactic to say "Don't download this under any circumstances" 🙃

[surreal charm]

That's very cool Zenux

[crude stump]

Hm

[mossy river]

literally my downloads folder

[crude stump]

Did you get rich yet

[plush mesa]

Where are you even supposed to download it then? And do you first have to sign in on that malware analysis machine with your email??

[hushed fern]

https://tenor.com/view/jurassic-park-gif-13963278

[sick lance]

Oh mate, don't be greedy, share that rich advice.

[narrow pewter]

Where do you get those 😉?

[hushed fern]

that would be my prank malware

[mossy river]

My anti virus eats them every few days

Keep having to release 'em from quarantine

[shut hawk]

Don't let your anti-virus hold you back from being rich

[mossy river]

@lean plaza <3

[oak river]

Man it sucks to be ill during Spring

But I guess some people have problems when Winter/Spring switches

[pearl lagoon]

Hey

[surreal charm]

Cold?

[oak river]

I guess something like that

Im almost good, but still, it lasted a week

[hushed fern]

one or the other gets me every year

[surreal charm]

Oh sorry about that

[oak river]

Nothing to be sorry about, it's natural I guess

But thanks

[narrow pewter]

I hate efective antiviruses... I'm trying to write one and everytime I boot it deletes the virus I'm working on!

[oak river]

Yeah, hopping from cold to warm weather disrupts the immune system I guess

[pearl lagoon]

Yeah

[worn thorn]

Three seperate times someone asked me to do some playtesting for them and all of them were rats. One even bothered to make a website to make it more "legit".

[crude stump]

Y’all seen the dude that made a beans virus. Everything you click it opens up a picture of beans

[mossy river]

You should seriously use a VM lol

[narrow pewter]

Hope you get better soon 🙏

[oak river]

I'm almost good, thank you for your good wishes 🤲

[narrow pewter]

I have tried many times, but can't

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @narrow pewter (current: #2041 - 1)

[oak river]

Gonna start my presecurity path now

[narrow pewter]

I have tried VirtualBox ans VmWare, neither worked

[oak river]

Whoever thought of paths is a genius

[oak river]

What did not work?

The applications in general or

[crude stump]

Did you create your own antivirus?

[narrow pewter]

Starting Vms

[oak river]

DM me if you want, Ill see if I can help

[narrow pewter]

Do you think it might be because I only have 8Gb ram?

[oak river]

That shouldn't be a problem

Some OSes need just 1GB ram

Or even less

Like Bodhi linux

[tropic stratus]

Anyone else here love cryptography?

[narrow pewter]

I have win7

[oak river]

Maybe you didn't configure something probably

[narrow pewter]

Probably

[tropic stratus]

Always thought crypotgraphy was cool growing up, ciphers, encoded messages, etc.

[oak river]

After you install VirtualBox and start the interface

You should have an .ISO image of your desired OS ready

Also each OS should list in their documentation, what their requirements to run are

[naive violet]

You know that's end-of-life and hasn't had security fixes for years right?

[narrow pewter]

I know, that's why I'm migrating to linux

[crude stump]

maybe you wanna be a cryptographer

[cunning igloo]

Why didn't you use the free-Upgrade to 10?

[tropic stratus]

Nah, I'm too dumb.

I just find it a interesting subject

[crude stump]

never too dumb to learn somthing

[oak river]

Not good in maths, but would want to learn more in this direction someday

[tropic stratus]

I'm awful at math lol

but yeah it's a neat subject

[oak river]

Before days I just realized something, while playing chess

I was afraid to lose

Thats a problem

[tropic stratus]

like when the Germans in WW2 had the ciphers broken beccause the Allies recovered the Enigma Machine

[oak river]

Losing isn't failing

[narrow pewter]

Can't stand it... I prefered to stick with Win7 Professional, I have much more control and is more, at least for me, intuitive

[tropic stratus]

or the Zodiac Killer's messages which to this day, are still unsolved

[oak river]

So yeah, trying is better than sitting with crossed hands

[dire crane]

How the Hack, did u got GOD Level in here 💀 with win7

[oak river]

They are

[tropic stratus]

Not all of them

[oak river]

At least that's what I saw in a lot of news, etc.

[crude stump]

like that

[tropic stratus]

Some have been cracked

[narrow pewter]

The 2nd machine (my grandmas, with 4Gb RAM) running kali helped 😉

[tropic stratus]

My mother's a huge fan of true crime/legal stuff, unsolved mysterys, etc.

[lean plaza]

Oh hi

[dire crane]

haha i see

[tropic stratus]

so I take after my mother a little bit on that

[naive violet]

Long time no see

[lean plaza]

Sure thing

[narrow pewter]

Booting side by side with win Vista, my grandma wanted to keep it

[lean plaza]

Too busy driving like an asshole in my asshole car 😎

[oak river]

What kind of access to networks does the 7-day streak give you?

[mossy river]

What car ya got

[dire crane]

So with my t450 i will soon rule the universe i guess

[tropic stratus]

AFAIK, networks are like rooms/CTFs but it's a bunch of linked computers behind the same router

[oak river]

Id get the T800 if there was one

[tropic stratus]

instead of 1 box

[oak river]

[lean plaza]

Mitsubishi Evo X

[narrow pewter]

Who knows 🤷‍♂️

[oak river]

DAAAMN

[mossy river]

omg marry me

[tropic stratus]

I don't plan to touch those until way later, Im struggling just with 1 box rooms xD

[oak river]

Jap for the win

[lean plaza]

😎😎😎

[oak river]

Is it tuned

[lean plaza]

I'm a cool asshole so it's fine

[crude stump]

bro thats a nice ass car wdym

[lean plaza]

Nope. SST so no power mod to preserve the transmission

[oak river]

Ah

[lean plaza]

Plus it's highly illegal

[oak river]

Yeah, I guess

My car is stock too

[lean plaza]

And I don't feel like getting my car taken from me forever by the police

[oak river]

Want it to live as long as possible

[lean plaza]

I could add 100hp just by remapping the fuel injection

But meh

It's already powerful enough

[oak river]

Yeah I meant remap

Isnt remap a tune by itself?

200bhp?

[lean plaza]

Yeah it is

300

[oak river]

Damn, that's more than enough

How much fuel does it gulp?

Also are you using gasoline with LPG or only gasoline?

[lean plaza]

10 l / 100km if you're cruising on highways n big roads

Only gas, 98

You get 15/16 if you do city and big roads

20 if city only

[oak river]

That's fairly well for such power

[lean plaza]

30+ if you push a little

[sick lance]

A wild Horsie has appeared!

[lean plaza]

Is a 2 liter

[oak river]

30+ is

[lean plaza]

Indeed

[oak river]

Aren't you a Shorsie though?

Shark + horse?

[crude stump]

do you ever think packets are scared because of the time to live timer

[oak river]

Hmm, good question

Depends on what kind of data they transfer I guess

[tawny magnet]

the router has a weapon to their head, they are terrified

[oak river]

Or maybe who is at the destination

[dire crane]

on quiet nights i can hear them scream

[crude stump]

exactly

they cant take a break

there worked overtime

poor packets

[crude stump]

makes a man tear up

[lean plaza]

Why ?

[narrow pewter]

It reminded me of a question a friend once asked me: "Would you be scared if you knew when you were going to die? That you would die for example in the next 2 hours?"

The packets face the same destiny

They know when they are going to die...

[dire crane]

Was this "friend" your grandma?

[narrow pewter]

Not really

[worn thorn]

pings must be really terrified

[narrow pewter]

It was a friend that had sociology at school

Thank you so much ❤️ 🙏

[crude stump]

@narrow pewter u also joined THM today?

[narrow pewter]

Nope, I've been doing for (going to check...)

Question, where do you check?

[crude stump]

W profile picture

[dire crane]

Discord, but I think that shows when you are joined the server. Thought it was from the website.

[crude stump]

@mossy river

your welcome

[vagrant jay]

@mossy river So sorry ill stop

[mossy river]

Read the rules while you're at it 🙂

[vagrant jay]

Ok

[narrow pewter]

Is there any way to see in THM? I'm logged in but can't find anything...

[dire crane]

hmmm let me check

[crude stump]

whats happening?

[narrow pewter]

Trying to figure out when I joined THM

I have no idea

[crude stump]

oh

[scenic bobcat]

Look in your mail for the first mail you got from them?

[narrow pewter]

Good idea 🙂

Going to check

1/04/2023, the date of the "verify your email" email

[dire crane]

Hmmm. No, I can't find anything either.

[narrow pewter]

So exactly 1 year!

[dire crane]

Oh so today is exaclty 1 year GZ

[narrow pewter]

🎆🎆🎆🎆

[crude stump]

your one year anniversary

thm

[dire crane]

May I ask if you already had previous knowledge when you started with THM or if you were completely new to the field?

[narrow pewter]

I had already seen come john hammond's videos, network chuck's too. And I have been programming in python for 10 years

[dire crane]

John Hammond == ❤️

[crude stump]

10 years wow

[narrow pewter]

It was from his videos that I came here

Respect

His videos opened up a new world to me

[dire crane]

I also started witch Chucks Videos, but I've read time and again that he doesn't have such a good reputation in the "community".

[narrow pewter]

Did not know that... He seams a good guy

Maybe a little bit addicted to coffe...

[scenic bobcat]

Nice

[dire crane]

And now i stuck with David Bombal, great mentor

[scenic bobcat]

Im here for like 2 weeks lol

[narrow pewter]

Know him too, I installed kali in my phone (unrooted)folloing one of his videos

[crude stump]

ive found and started tryhackme by looking up "How can i learn cybersecurity"

[dire crane]

Reminds me of "You need to learn hacking, NOW!"

[narrow pewter]

True

[narrow pewter]

The same with Linux

[dire crane]

haha true

[narrow pewter]

Here in discord or THM in general?

[scenic bobcat]

Both

[crude stump]

https://tenor.com/view/kdrama-handshake-shaking-hands-gif-26102712

TCP:

[dire crane]

The beginner paths on THM have helped me so much. The last time I had anything to do with hacking was 15 years ago. Back then we used to print out pages and pages of tutorials from the forums. 💀

[scenic bobcat]

ACK

[narrow pewter]

It's the SYN of TCP... to catch COVID!

Atempt to make a joke....

[dire crane]

i think covid is more of a layer 8 problem

also trying to joke

[scenic bobcat]

Still wondering what to do today 🤔 pwn101 is cool but getting hardstuck for 5 hours.. isnt

[crude stump]

were adding a new layer i guess

[scenic bobcat]

Or continue zipping through fundamental stuffs

[crude stump]

wait so what would the new layer be after physical its hm untouchable?

[snow zealot]

hello thm community, im facing a problem with internet connection on my attackbox in CONTENT DISCOVERY room, does anyone have an idea what could fix the problem? Here's also a screenshot

[crude stump]

as n micro organisms

in

[narrow pewter]

The amount of work... 💀

[dire crane]

layer 8 is often used jokingly to refer to the end user

[unique marsh]

i think you havent turned on your vm yet

[crude stump]

ooh

[scenic bobcat]

I have like 5000 words of notes around the network fundamentals

[crude stump]

there in the attackbox

[unique marsh]

i mean the machine ip hasnt been generated yet

[scenic bobcat]

The target machine lol

[crude stump]

that could be it

[snow zealot]

i do have an IP address! Just didnt catch it on the screenshot!

[scenic bobcat]

Go to task 1, button there

It should show up otherwise

[dire crane]

#room-help would maybe the better place, something like this is easily lost here

[snow zealot]

nevermind! It works well, seems like the vm didnt spawn properly

thank you all for help! kudos

[crude stump]

good

[unique marsh]

[sage knot]

im looking for a software / cybersecurity job (3+ experience), please DM if you can help me with that.

[dire crane]

have fun pwning

[snow zealot]

Thank you!:)

Another question from the newcomer...

What are reps?

[narrow pewter]

Like these

what are they?

[dire crane]

Your Reputation, if u help someone u get some rep

[scenic bobcat]

[wooden totem]

how easy it is to create something of value

[narrow pewter]

Looking through the dashboard and it came to my mind... How is it possible that THM does not have a DarkMode?

[sick lance]

Soon™️

[narrow pewter]

I know we are all white hats

[sick lance]

https://tryhackme.com/r/resources/blog/tryhackme-improvements

[distant gazelle]

darkmode bad

[dire crane]

I don't know how that could happen either, fortunately brave has a darkmode

[vagrant jay]

Hay can anyone help me with my server I need a administrator

[wooden totem]

i think chrome has it built in setting

[sick lance]

Which server?

[narrow pewter]

Firefox does not have, at least in win7

It seems...

[wooden totem]

why are you in win7

[dire crane]

haha

[narrow pewter]

Never updated, I don't get along with the new ones

[wooden totem]

win10 is about to go out of service

[past sparrow]

if you use EOL OS, then you don't get annoying popups about OS update, win win

[narrow pewter]

True

[simple valve]

or just use Linux

oh sorry

GNU/Linux

[wooden totem]

knew someone is gonna say it

[sick lance]

I'm not joining your server to hack it, I'm not going to hack, nor will anyone here.

We're not hackers for hire.

[narrow pewter]

I'm slowly migrating

[wooden totem]

Hey guys, the linux guy recommends to use linux

[narrow pewter]

but it takes time

[simple valve]

jokes on you i use windows

[blazing granite]

it would be a shocker if he recommends windows 😂

[dire crane]

because of the 1 gig ram?

[past sparrow]

y'all use OS? I send bytes directly into a router with batteries

[narrow pewter]

And 100 Mb of network speed...

[crude stump]

pshh i indivdually bite the packets into bytes and then send them into the router

[narrow pewter]

And my atempt of building a NAS beeing currently in lockdown

[blazing granite]

if you use a PC/laptop/tablet you need to use a OS in order to make it useful 😂

[wooden totem]

I have an exposed security lacking wifi connected rotating fan that can be accessed internationally, Security risk? nahh

[narrow pewter]

How do you receive, though?

[crude stump]

uh

[sick lance]

Somebody else Windows 7?

(This is a VM)

[crude stump]

havent thought that one through

[dire crane]

are you threatening them too? because lifespan....

[past sparrow]

I use a battery 😎

[crude stump]

yes

[dire crane]

nice nice

[wooden totem]

ngl i hated win7

[narrow pewter]

Why?

[wooden totem]

couldnt wait to upgrade

[past sparrow]

I read TCP response with my finger tip

[blazing granite]

7 it wasn't that bad

[dire crane]

i say that is installed baremetal! 🙃

[sick lance]

You'd be wrong.

[blazing granite]

battery for power, OS for functionality 🙂

[narrow pewter]

Do you count kernel as OS? You can have a kernel and no os on top, right? Or am I just making no sense?

[crude stump]

damn

i cant compete

[scenic bobcat]

yeaa, it just a tad boring but I also dont really wanna full on skip it cause what if there's something in there i didnt know yet

[past sparrow]

was afraid that

[crude stump]

why is every video clip of malware on any run like a very old windows version

[past sparrow]

I think you got lost in the joke, but its alright, I stop pushing it

[wooden totem]

where is your malware folder

[sick lance]

Think of the number of malware that's been written for older systems

[dire crane]

I know the struggle, but you'll be less stuck later on.

[crude stump]

oh yeah back then there wasnt much protection

[narrow pewter]

Man, you only say thruths

[dire crane]

shame on me haha

[hushed fern]

you could run AV and let it use half your system resources!

[sick lance]

On this VM

[dire crane]

nah stop it I'm blushing

[hushed fern]

'oh my tribes 2 FPS is trash? i'm uninstalling norton'

[scenic bobcat]

back when 3rd party AV's where decent

[crude stump]

wait is flare vm maintly used for malware analysis?

maintly

[sick lance]

Yeah

[scenic bobcat]

and not straight up spyware

[crude stump]

omg

mainly

[blazing granite]

wow, Norton that's a blast from the past 😂

[wooden totem]

I actually had McAfee

[blazing granite]

Norton utilities 😂

[narrow pewter]

My father had Panda

On his (still) Xp ancient laptop

2Gb Ram

[tawny magnet]

[dire crane]

So for poor honest hackers... how much better is VMware compared to VirtualBox?

[narrow pewter]

And up there you guys talking abou 1T - 2T of RAM...

[blazing granite]

he should take good care, pandas are on the road to extinction 😂 and judging for what you're saying so that PC 😂

[scenic bobcat]

I used to run Avast many years ago

[real compass]

How does a NAT work exactly? Is it something like: modem-router gets a frame, frame gets de-encapsulated to MAC, modem-router checks ARP cache and looks for IP, consults IP table, encapsulates to packet, then sends the packet?

Am I even close?

[crude stump]

which website did you download that. cant find any, theres one from mandint?

[hushed fern]

does vm ware have a free version? i can never remember

[naive violet]

vmware player yes

[wooden totem]

both have plus and minus from what i know

[narrow pewter]

I used too, nowadays I use Bitdefender for active defense and Malwarebytes for passive

[tropic stratus]

i personally use virtualbox

[blazing granite]

I use Linux as a main OS, but when I used to use win more often I had Kaspersky it was pretty good

[tropic stratus]

I hear a lot of arguments over if VBox or VMware is better

[scenic bobcat]

Ah, Windows Defender here and malwarebytes if things start acting funky 👀

[wooden totem]

i think vmware is supposedly faster?

[tropic stratus]

I use virtualbox because the free version of vbox has snapshots are are useful if I wreck the PC by accident

[narrow pewter]

What AV do you guys use (and ladies, of course)?

[dire crane]

would you prefer this one or virtual box?

[tropic stratus]

free vmware doesn't have snapshots

[hushed fern]

these days my understanding is windows defender is solid, so i lean on that

[scenic bobcat]

VMWare is or "should" be slightly faster, i've personally been using Hyper-V on Windows which feels quite smooth too, along with free and snapshots etc.

[tropic stratus]

Hyper-V? Never heard of it

Sounds like some comic book supervillain

[narrow pewter]

Me neither

[wooden totem]

sometimes a cleaner can be useful if you dont have much space or memory

[blazing granite]

on Linux use qemu/KVM there isn't anything faster than that

[tropic stratus]

it's an official microsoft thing? Hrm

[dire crane]

Mostly my brain

[dire crane]

Hmmm maybe i give Hyper V a try.

[blazing granite]

that's great, not a lot of people do that nowadays 😂

[tropic stratus]

Did some googling and it seems Kali might not play all that nice with hyperv

[dire crane]

that is the reason why there is maleware

[tropic stratus]

Again, I use virtualbox. I have a few small complaints but it's absolutely functional

Maybe I should get a special hard drive just for Kali bare metal, idk

or do the live USB thing

[blazing granite]

yep, tik tok and instagram take over their brain 😂

[dire crane]

I also use it and have been very satisfied so far, but have never had to do anything major with it apart from running a few machines

[tropic stratus]

My problem is with those you have to do lots of rebooting every time you want to switch between tryhackmeman and normal computer user

and with the VM I can be on tryackme on my local machine, fire up virtualbox, etc

[narrow pewter]

On my live USB, I have to choose "live with USB persistence" to lauch the system in normal live mode with no persistance and no other mode works....

[scenic bobcat]

really? i had no issues yet

[tropic stratus]

Just a few anecdotes

[narrow pewter]

And only maneged to install kali in baremetal on the 4th try

[mossy river]

Don't use kali baremetal

[blazing granite]

VM is fine, if you're going to go bare metal, just use an old laptop, that's what I did

[narrow pewter]

Any reason in special?

[plucky folio]

why ? i was thinking of making this laptop kali bare metal if i get new one

[dire crane]

with only 1 gig ram he has to i guess ^^

[narrow pewter]

It's 4, ijn the machine I'm using with kali

[tropic stratus]

I tried a dual boot on my laptop with Kali and Kali just gives me a blank grey screen lol

I can still boot into normal windows fine

[dire crane]

oh, my bad, sorry

[tropic stratus]

but yeah I agree baremetal is pretty risky

[narrow pewter]

No problem

[dire crane]

i think it depends on what you want to do with the baremetal kali, there are scenarios in which it can be useful

[scenic bobcat]

The reason for running Kali in VM's is you're often doing Cybersec related things on it, and in the odd case it gets infected or wrecks itself - its simply kill it and restore snapshot

[narrow pewter]

I had kind of the same problem, but for me was kernel panick msgs. Had to wipe it out with win and install again. It was then at the 4th time that worked

[scenic bobcat]

or just load a fresh copy

[narrow pewter]

Okidoki

[tropic stratus]

Exactly.

[dire crane]

what you can say with certainty is that kali is not a daily driver as an os

[tropic stratus]

Yep

[scenic bobcat]

Yea

[tropic stratus]

I remmebered reading a reddit post saying like

[plucky folio]

but legit my laptop can't handle that much load i got potato one T~T

[tropic stratus]

"never, ever, evre, try installing steam and discord on Kali"

[narrow pewter]

Tried and agree with you now 😉

[tropic stratus]

he didn't elaborate what happened specifically but his choice of wording implied it wrecked the system

[dire crane]

why in the 9 circles of hell would anyone do that haha

[tropic stratus]

I don't know lol

[narrow pewter]

Ahhhhh....

Is it safe to say that I just tried installing discord in the kali machine?

apt install discord?

did not work

[scenic bobcat]

btw assembly anyone? the EIP register, which one is equivelant to that in the 64 bit stuff? or is this the other syntax i got like RIP, RBP, RAX, etc

[narrow pewter]

was thinking of searching with more time later

[dire crane]

I use Parrot for Discord and Steam 🙃

[dire crane]

hahaha

[scenic bobcat]

thats not much better

[narrow pewter]

Now I know not to try

[naive violet]

rip

The R prefix means 64bit

Like EAX, RAX

[blazing granite]

you're using kali for something that wasn't built for, so that's on you 😂

[scenic bobcat]

Ahhh; yea i tried googling it but didnt get a clear answer 😅

[dire crane]

Mate u really making my day thanks 😂

[dire crane]

I see that the rep script is already well thought out

[mossy river]

I can't go into detail right now because I am a little busy but here's a quick rundown:

• Kali linux is a pentesting OS, it is designed to be setup when you need it for an engagement. This is why it has almost every tool for most hacking scenarios preinstalled on it.
• You should never hack on a host machine, always on a VM. Regardless of what you are doing, it is very bad practice and in reality very insecure.
• Kali linux has had problems with being daily driven in the past.

You would be better of installing another distribution and only installing the tools you want/ need. It will be faster and you will learn how to use Linux much faster.

[naive violet]

Not ours

[narrow pewter]

I'm the one who has to thank. Talking to you guys made me much happier.

Thaks 🙂 🙏

[narrow pewter]

Oki, I'll have that in mind. Thanks

[plucky folio]

hmm i see thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @mossy river (current: #6 - 1205)

[dire crane]

And always remember what Condor said: "A fool with a tool, is still a fool"

[blazing granite]

it's even more dangerous 🙂

[scenic bobcat]

But Kali do be giving the cool hacker vibes - although i still dont know what any of the tools do past basic nmap and dirbuster stuff

[mossy river]

There are plenty of threads on the internet that go into much more detail, but there are also a lot of people on the internet who say using Kali Linux as a daily driver is great.

It is down to your judgement, but I'd like to emphasise point two. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
If you are looking to daily drive linux, don't bother with a pentesting OS because it's optimised for pentesting.

If you are looking to move into security, you can still daily drive Linux but run a VM with your security testing OS.

[blazing granite]

@dire crane there is a Spanish saying that can be translated as "Dangerous as monkey with a razor blade" 😂

[mossy river]

Wonder what happened for the phrase to be made lol

[dire crane]

Kali is also best always installed in the "everything" version 💀

[narrow pewter]

The best think in kali, that makes everyone I show it to be like "You're a hacker!" is typing in the terminal "kali-undercover"...

[crude stump]

ugh i dont know if i should use a windows 7 vm or windows 10 vm for malware analysis

[tropic stratus]

@mossy river Would it be a good idea to at least put hashcat/John on your local PC to better take advantage of the hardware? I know virtual machines tend to have problems utilizing the hardware effectively

[scenic bobcat]

omg i didnt even know that was a thing lmao

[mossy river]

Yes, at least hashcat.
I haven't been in the hacking game for a while, but back when I was actively participating in CTFs john was good enough to run on your VM.

[dire crane]

The only ones who are more painless than people who use Kali as a daily driver are people who use Arch as a daily driver. 😈

[tropic stratus]

I still prefer John over hashcat

[scenic bobcat]

btw while we're on that dont forget to swap out your hostname if you're red teaming a friend of mine plays blue team for his company and they ran an exercise and he just sees in the logs, one of the hostnames "kali" -> Block

[tropic stratus]

Hashcat is technically better, but John The RIpper wins just because of the name, and I think John is easier to use

[tropic stratus]

Lmao

[blazing granite]

just give a razor blade to a monkey, it doesn't know how to use it, he would either hurt itself, or start to weaving it and hurt others 😂

[narrow pewter]

I changed mine to "Server"

But already used "Admin's-laptop" too

[tropic stratus]

I wouldn't be able to help myself from choosing a really silly name like "Hackerman" or "Neo" etc

[mossy river]

John has a lot of uses, such as ssh2john zip2john etc.
Most CTFs nowadays have rules on crack timing which makes it a hell of a lot more bareable.

[scenic bobcat]

[dire crane]

i don't just have kali bare metal on my t450, i even have stickers from hashcat and "hacker inside" on it, so everyone knows when i turn it on it's serious

[blazing granite]

there is another version that is says shotgun instead razor blade 😂

[sick lance]

For the first time in years of driving, my car passed it's MoT first time!

Woo hoo

[narrow pewter]

Everyone turning off their devices...

[scenic bobcat]

"Karen@Accounting" nobody would dare block that

[dire crane]

wohoooo

[scenic bobcat]

or HR 👀

[tropic stratus]

I do wonder, is social engineering something that's allowable in white cards?

[narrow pewter]

good one

[dire crane]

better for them

[crude stump]

jabba do you recommend windows 7 or windows 10 vm for analyis

[mossy river]

White cards as in ethical hacking?

[mossy river]

@sick lance

[lament tendon]

You can turn Windows 10 into a Flare machine, so that is a plus.

Dunno whether that works for Windows 7.

[sick lance]

I use W10 for analysis, but if we went to go in depth, you need to be 0xD

[crude stump]

ight thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @lament tendon (current: #35 - 213)

[tropic stratus]

Like let's say you wanted to do social engineering as a red team, but you're super unconvincing, are white cards (used as a "alright, let's say a wizard did it") used in that case to play out a scenario where maybe someone (I.e. a new employee) fell for it?

[crude stump]

wrong person

well thanks to the both of yall

[tropic stratus]

like white cards are used to "simulate" certain things if they can't be done for whatever reason

[narrow pewter]

Have to go... 😦 Loved talking to you all 🙂 'Till next time! Happy hacking!

[naive violet]

You can operate from assumed compromise, but usually that's not what whitecards are for

[tropic stratus]

maybe a system is too delicate, or they wanted to use a zero-day exploit but none such exists, etc

[crude stump]

bye da

[tropic stratus]

yeah

[outer rivet]

Y’all recommend network + or CCNa for jobs ?

[dire crane]

But for real its my social engineering tactic, sound and smoke, "Hello, I found this laptop in your foyer it looks dangerous, do you want me to check your servers?" 💀

[blazing granite]

Once I was in a coffee shop, drinking coffee and doing some THM rooms, somebody walked by my table and saw my screen. He looked at me with "you're hacking NASA face" 😂 seriously I thought he was going to call the cops on me 😂

[crude stump]

you will have better help in #cyber-and-careers

@outer rivet

[outer rivet]

Ok staff

[tropic stratus]

it might not work because of the leveling up thing

but try it anyways

[blazing granite]

not wikipedia? 😂

[mossy river]

It will still verify you, just might not give you the right role.

[crude stump]

oh yeah then verify

[blazing granite]

I remember Encarta and Encyclopeadia Britanica 🙂

You see that i'am not verified ?

oh your talking about the level in thm

[blazing granite]

The first computer I used was in my father business and it was a TI99 😂

[rapid merlin]

yes

[crude stump]

yeah thats bugged

you can still verify tho

[dire crane]

70% of all the certificates out there are overrated and overpriced. Unless it's Comptia or something like that. Certificates should also be something that the company pays for. But that's just my personal opinion.

[mossy river]

My parents would buy me phones, laptops, iPads and I would unintentionally break them because I was so out of touch with technology.
I was obsessed with going outside, literally as soon as I got from school I would stay outside from 4pm-10pm every day.

Weekends, you would see me for tea and that was it.

[brisk tree]

All I was allowed to play was Nintendo and forza

[blazing granite]

A father's friend had a mobile it was a small briefcase 😂

[mossy river]

What else do you need!?

[crude stump]

why didnt you

[hidden hazel]

Same ive still never played gta to this day by the time i was allowed i was too behind

[brisk tree]

They always found things. I had to hide pain killers cause I used to get bad migraine and she found them and threw them away

[sick lance]

Wouldn't be released in time and I don't think QA would see the funny side.

Probably get annoywed for wasting their time.

[crude stump]

ah

need a visit from the humor fairy

[dire crane]

is there such a thing as vuln free?

[sick lance]

[lament tendon]

Yes. Off.

[chilly veldt]

I'll just upload a xz room

[sick lance]

Nah there is over 1 or 200 rooms in the queue.

This is a rough guess

Be me:

Android auto refuses to work with voice activation
Remove some google permissions because it wasnt working and google doesnt really need access to some stuff
Android Auto: "Hey I'm working, but you need to give me permissions"

[crude stump]

nothing beats cussing at ai

[scenic bobcat]

whaa dont be mean to the AI! i'd rather be on their good side when they take over

also ChatGPT is a 🐐 for helping me summarize notes etc

[hidden hazel]

I have an ai gf

[crude stump]

oh

nice to know skdy

[blazing granite]

@boreal scarab afternoon, how are you?

[hidden hazel]

Lmao

[dire crane]

feel that

[boreal scarab]

MYSTERY FOOD

Dunno what I'm ordering. But it's damn good

[hidden hazel]

ChatGPT is great at helping me through a ctf every time i hit something i dont understand

[blazing granite]

I'm glad that turn up OK, it don't like mystery in my food 😂

[scenic bobcat]

Yeaa its so funny asking them to simplify something a bunch of times till you eventually get it

[hidden hazel]

Half the time GPT dont get it and your dumbing it down for it

[boreal scarab]

Oh I asked him to surprise me, I took a look at it said BBQ, and I didn't read further

Excited as hell

[dire crane]

"It is important to emphasize that I am strictly for ethical hacking and not for illegal or unethical activities." yeahhhh gpt we know that already the last 900 times

[scenic bobcat]

its sadly no use for Rust code tho 😅

[hidden hazel]

I have to tell it its a ctf like 10 times before it gives me an answer

[scenic bobcat]

every time i ask it to write something in Rust it makes up crates that dont exist

[blazing granite]

the time you wouldn't need to do that, would be the time that machines would take control 😂

[dire crane]

for python too and apis are a disaster in general

[blazing granite]

BBQ sounds great, still we have different definitions of BBQ and also I would never say surprise me, because 9/10 I won't be pleasantly surprise 😂

[bitter quiver]

Man

BBQ sounds divine

Need a jazz and rib fest with some 85 degree temp

[dire crane]

but it feels like gpt is getting dumber and dumber, I believe that all the restrictions that come with it do that

[bitter quiver]

Sunshine, shades, music, ribs

The future is now

[scenic bobcat]

tech is so weird sometimes

[dire crane]

the first few weeks you could work really well with it

[blazing granite]

it does, but I was born in Argentina so it's hard to meet my expectations or even be pleasantly surprise 😂

[scenic bobcat]

internet on Kali was working fine when i went to sleep, and now suddenly its not working even after reboot

but Host does have connection and afaik its just bridged

[bitter quiver]

I mean, a jazz and rib fest with the right crowd is un-beatable regardless of ones origin

[hidden hazel]

I hate kali with wifi i switched to parrot because of it

[scenic bobcat]

not on wifi, cable

[hidden hazel]

Btw when we verify do u just put ur token in the chat or is there a bot or sum

[scenic bobcat]

its /verify and then token should show

[blazing granite]

Go to Argentina try Asado and then tell me about it 🙂

[dire crane]

sudo systemctl restart networking

[hidden hazel]

Yeah but do u just put it in the chat that doesnt seem very security wise

[scenic bobcat]

in the slot the command gives you, it doesnt show

[hidden hazel]

Ah cool

[mossy river]

it's all performed clientside

[hidden hazel]

Damn

[bitter quiver]

I plan to actually

We have some Brazilian and Argentinian BBQ places around

With the actual folk

It's decent

[scenic bobcat]

nope 🙃

[whole yew]

chimichurri is high tier

[sand trench]

Packages: 1679 (pacman), 14 (flatpak)

removing packages to decrease attack surface goes brrrrr

[scenic bobcat]

ifconfig shows its up and running and i can see the traffic from my host lol

[hidden hazel]

If ur using vm its probably something adapter related

[shut hawk]

is it on a VM?

vmware?

[scenic bobcat]

VM, Hyper-V ; was working all fine till .. just now,no issues yesterday when i went off 😅

[shut hawk]

what's the output of the ifconfig command?

[bitter quiver]

Have you tried manually disabling/enabling them?

[boreal scarab]

Saw a "This is a D.A.R.E. community" sign.... for all the non Americans, that was a failed early 2000 drug prevention program for kids... I laughed out so loud when I saw that

[blazing granite]

places that said Argentinian BBQ are a lot, but almost nobody has the real thing, judging by my experience, that's why I said if you have the time go to Argentina 🙂

[bitter quiver]

All DARE did was educate me on what drugs were. Beforehand I barely knew about it lol

[bitter quiver]

I plan to. I kinda want to do a van life style escapade through south America at once point

Also, question @blazing granite

WHy does BRitain shoot so many TV shows in ARgentina?

[shut hawk]

lgtm ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[scenic bobcat]

Thats what i thought 😅

[bitter quiver]

Like half the older shows I see there from the 2000s were shot in Argentina

[scenic bobcat]

and it does pick up packets in Wireshark, but only from my host

[blazing granite]

For example in Israel (where I live) I know a few BBQ places own by Argentine that live in Israel, there are good, but still not the same as the source, because to resist the trip the meat has to be frozen you lose some qualities there.

[dire crane]

checked your dns resolution?

[bitter quiver]

Ah, frozen meat sucks

[scenic bobcat]

[bitter quiver]

Where should I got in ARgentina for the best

[blazing granite]

Have no idea, I haven't lived in Argentina for a long time 🙂

[whole yew]

Cost.

[bitter quiver]

And how many Germans with odd mustaches will I find there?

[scenic bobcat]

[dire crane]

nslookup

[blazing granite]

it's not a google problem or may in your area, I have no issue, check your internet connection

[scenic bobcat]

I mean.. i'm literally talking to you from my Host

on which google is fine

[mossy river]

What hypvervisor

what network type are you using

[shut hawk]

so ping 1.1.1.1 works?

or doesn't?

[scenic bobcat]

Hyper-V for VM idk if there's all that many network options available? i just kept it on 'default switch'

It worked fine yesterday and i didnt change anything about it 😅

reboot also didnt help

pc's be weird

[near hawk]

My Hyper-V doing the same

Haven't changed anything either

[mossy river]
