[pallid lotus]

There we go

[rapid merlin]

can i dm?

[pearl lagoon]

Elon musks chip 🤣

[sick lance]

I'm sure you've been told not to ask for help on homework in here?

[rapid merlin]

it would be funny calling tech support and hearing monkey noises

[pearl lagoon]

Lol yeah

[pearl lagoon]

Imagine walking and having an ad just bc of the chip

[rapid merlin]

it def will steal graphic designers jobs idk abt cyber sec tho

@pallid lotus check dm

[pearl lagoon]

I dont think syber tho

[sick lance]

Please don't ignore me.

[rapid merlin]

k

[pearl lagoon]

I mean like maybe manufactoring

Its the most common job

[rapid merlin]

or pop-up saying "We Will Have To Take Your Sight Away Since You Didn't Paid Your Trial"

[pearl lagoon]

😂

[pearl lagoon]

Na u think the world would end before the robot stuff

I think I think the world would en near this eclipse

If it ends

[rapid merlin]

well if it ends it ends there would be nothing we could do abt it

I guess we have to value our time

[pearl lagoon]

Yeah

If he dies he dies

[rapid merlin]

simple like that

[pearl lagoon]

Yeah u got the point

[rapid merlin]

Dm me if anyone would like to vc. I'm learning

[pearl lagoon]

What are u learning?

*what room

[undone sorrel]

hello can someone assist me with something ? It's not relevant to this discord but it's to due with game h acking (it's changing the variable of an address internally) i don't see what i'm doing wrong

thanks 🙂

[pearl lagoon]

Injection?

[undone sorrel]

erm, it's not an injector i can send you the code, i followed gamehacking.academy tutorial and it didn't work so i just copied their code and that doesn't work

i'm 10000% sure i have the right base address also

i double,triple checked in cheat engine

[pearl lagoon]

Is it your own code or git?

[undone sorrel]

i followed the code, not from github

but i just want to understand as to why it's not woring

working

[shut hawk]

@sick lance

[undone sorrel]

like the dll is injecting, but i don't understand as to why it's not changing , and i'm 100000% sure it's the right address because when i re open the game etc, it's still the same in cheat engine

and i found the address while debugging

or reverse engineering however you call it

[sick lance]

What's the end goal?

[undone sorrel]

change the value of gold to 999 with an internal dll instead of externally

i can send you my code if that's okay?

[sick lance]

What game?

[undone sorrel]

battle for the wesnoth 1.14.x

https://gamehacking.academy/pages/3/03/

[pearl lagoon]

Python?

[undone sorrel]

cpp

i will send my code, one second

ah it's too big

is there anywhere i can paste it to ?

[pearl lagoon]

Is ur api good?

[undone sorrel]

i'm not using an api

idk if i am

i'm using windows api

from <include Windows.h> if that helps?

[sick lance]

I'm sure this sort of hacking would be against ToS as it's multiplayer

[pearl lagoon]

Little by little

Here

[undone sorrel]

nono, this is localplayer

and the game is open source also

[undone sorrel]

sure

[mossy river]

Please don't flood chat

[undone sorrel]

oh, sorry

[pearl lagoon]

Ok sorry

[undone sorrel]

i will put it into a paste bin

https://pastebin.com/0XxDUBjB

[pearl lagoon]

Its short lol

[undone sorrel]

yeah, it's all the code you need to do what i need to do

[sick lance]

@rapid merlin can I dm you?

[rapid merlin]

yeah

[pearl lagoon]

Did you creat the dll correctly?

*create

[undone sorrel]

yes

[pearl lagoon]

Configuration Properties, choose General. Then, change the Configuration Type from Application to Dynamic Library. Choose Apply and then hit OK to close the modal.

Project Configuration Menus

So your project is not executable

[undone sorrel]

i have already done this

no, it's a dll which i inject

[river fog]

hello, can some nerd pls win this koth?
https://tryhackme.com/games/koth/join/5483cd12be82aba107798b1e
its Hogwarts

[undone sorrel]

if for example, i put a messagebox in dllmain and inject, the messagebox will appear

[sick lance]

#koth for this please, (and be nice)

[undone sorrel]

so it injects

[pearl lagoon]

But it wont put value in it right?

[undone sorrel]

but i see a lot of people put
CreateThread(NULL, 0, (LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)injected_thread, NULL, 0, NULL); and use nullptrs instead of null

maybe this is it?

[undone sorrel]

yeah, exactly

[pearl lagoon]

U have the windows api right?

[undone sorrel]

yes

[pearl lagoon]

#include <Windows.h>

BOOL WINAPI DllMain( HINSTANCE hinstDLL, DWORD fdwReason, LPVOID lpvReserved ) {
MessageBox(0,0,0,0);

return true;
}

[undone sorrel]

i already have before

it worked

[undone sorrel]

.

[pearl lagoon]

IT WORKED?

[undone sorrel]

messagebox did, yeah

[pearl lagoon]

So its a white box with nothing inside

[undone sorrel]

yes

it's a messagebox 😆

[pearl lagoon]

Lol

And did you go to the bios correctly?

[undone sorrel]

the bios?

i inject manually

[pearl lagoon]

Th inhection Since this feature is often used by malware, Windows 10 requires Secure Boot to be disabled for the feature to work. By default, VirtualBox does not support this feature and it will be disabled. If you are using actual hardware, you will need to disable it through the BIOS. Its current state can be determined through the System Information program:

[undone sorrel]

yes but messagebox works so why is this?

[pearl lagoon]

Have you created the injection yet?

So when you created it did you go to the BIOS?

[plush mesa]

are you sure youre playing on x86

[undone sorrel]

i believe so, when i debug i have to use 32xdbg

[plush mesa]

Is it the address from the tutoriak or did you get it yourself and does changing its value in cheat engine work

[undone sorrel]

No, the address is different but it is the base address, yes changing it's value in cheat engine works, even when i restart etc etc

[plush mesa]

print out the value of the dereferenced goldAddress so what youre trying to change

[undone sorrel]

how would i do this with a dll if you don't mind me asking?

would i have to put it in a message box ?

[plush mesa]

you allocate a terminal to the dll

[undone sorrel]

is this with AllocConsole(); ?

[plush mesa]

         //DEBUGGING
        AllocConsole();
        // Redirect stdout to the console
        freopen_s((FILE**)stdout, "CONOUT$", "w", stdout);

        // redirect stderr too
        freopen_s((FILE**)stderr, "CONOUT$", "w", stderr);

        HANDLE consoleHandle = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);

        DWORD mode;

        GetConsoleMode(consoleHandle, &mode);
        mode |= ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING;
        SetConsoleMode(consoleHandle, mode);

[mossy river]

Oh no, not C++

My nightmares

[plush mesa]

I think iomanip is the header file you need

[undone sorrel]

i understand like 1% of this 🤣

but thank you, i will try now

[sick lance]

#programming May be better for this.

[crude stump]

Wsp people

[mossy river]

I should have brought a coat

It’s freezing.

[crude stump]

Should’ve

That’s not a correction btw

[mossy river]

And the bus is super unreliable so I had to come here 10 minutes early

Can barely type my fingers are icicles

[crude stump]

Even when my hands aren’t icicles I can barely type 💀

[mossy river]

Without autocorrect, typing requires a lot more of my focus on mobile

[crude stump]

Sometimes autocorrect is kinda dumb

Like if you type bus

It thinks you want bud

[mossy river]

For someone who uses a lot of slang terminology, it was incredibly irritating

I may not type as fast but my messages are more accurate without autocorrect

[crude stump]

Ikr

[tropic stratus]

Question, if a "zero day" exploit is an exploit that hasn't been patched, aren't all exploits, by definition, zero day?

or does it lose zero day status once a patch exists, even if the target box doesn't have the patch

nevermind, apparently it's when it's a bug nobody is aware of, i think

[near hawk]

Yep, an unknown exploit that is found

[tropic stratus]

There's a lot of terminology here that's a bit broad/vague, like virus/spyware/trojan/malware/worm/adware/backdoor etc

[pallid lotus]

Basically all of those are malware

The category is malware (malicious software), of which there are subcategories describing exactly what the malware is doing

Or its overall purpose at any rate

[tropic stratus]

Like if there's "MP3player.exe" and it's a fake program that displays popups and spies on you, it's a trojan because it pretended to be an MP3 player, but isn't it also adware and spyware?

Personally no matter what it is, i think it needs to be eradicated off the computer lol

I see.

I used to think Zero Day meant when a new version is released, if someone finds a vulernability the same day as the release, that's a zero day

[wintry sluice]

if it were an actual mp3 player that spies or caused unwanted popups, you could probably say it contained a trojan and was spyware/adware

[pallid lotus]

Eh, arguably it's a Trojan that includes post-exploitation capabilities for adware and spyware... Although that's basically the point of a Trojan.

Realistically speaking it's all semantics

Doesn't really matter what you call it -- it's malware that does x,y, and z

[hushed fern]

i wonder what a venn diagram for 0days & gov 'requested' backdoors would look like

[wintry sluice]

depends on the govt

backdoors are backdoors for anyone.
no such thing as a backdoor for only one entity.

[sick lance]

EternalBlue wasn't supposed to be released...

[tropic stratus]

and I thought the XZ backdoor was designed so only one specific person could exploit it

Although I just found a news article saying it's possible to do remote code execution with it

[wintry sluice]

my understanding is that wasn't a govt requested backdoor, though it was discovered and exploited by a govt agency without disclosing its existence to MS

to me, govt requested backdoor is like the UK Govt asking whatsapp create a backdoor in their encryption for police purposes, or the US govt telling Apple to make a backdoor for them so the Feds can get into phones easily

[mossy river]

Well, Eternal Blue was a 0day exploit not a backdoor.

It was exploited by the government but it’s not like code that purposely hid itself on a system to allow the creator of said code to access the system secretly

I don’t think I would define a backdoor as something deliberately put in by the developers to allow access to the service.

I would if the developer placed it there with the intention of accessing it unauthorised in the event that they are fired etc.

[pearl lagoon]

Hi

[mossy river]

I am doing great, how about you?

[mystic turtle]

gm

[blazing granite]

good morning hacking people 🙂

[oak river]

So I have a spare Samsung Galaxy S9 now

Should I try to meddle and install a new OS

[mystic turtle]

yo too @blazing granite

[oak river]

Like graphene os

Or maybe kali net hunter?

[plush mesa]

cant do that on a samsung only google pixel

[oak river]

Why not?

Knox security?

[plush mesa]

net hunter has a supported hardware list too not sure if galaxy s9 is in on it

[plush mesa]

Unsupported hardware, grapheneos only supports google pixels

[sick lance]

I have Nethunter on a Note9.

[oak river]

Damn, Kali nethunter is supported on S20 but not on S9

😂

[normal fable]

Just watched a video about xzbot.. interesting stuff.

[oak river]

NetHunter Lite can be installed on all Android devices that are rooted and have a custom recovery. The full NetHunter experience requires a devices specific kernel that has been purpose built for Kali NetHunter.

[blazing granite]

it's always the same supports everyone except the one you're using at the moment 😂

[oak river]

Thats what the dox says

So I need a google pixel specifically for graphene OS, great...

AH

LINEAGE OS

[crude stump]

Which one

[normal fable]

Low Level Learning on YT

[crude stump]

Thanks

[hollow pivot]

Quite like his channel

[normal fable]

Yeah it's good. 🙂

[crude stump]

yall is windows fundamentals that important if you already know most of how the os works? anyone did the path?

[sick lance]

Yes and no.

It could teach you something you don't know, you might know how to do most.

[hollow pivot]

Can't hurt to go over it again

[crude stump]

true

might as well

[normal fable]

Go over the parts you know to ensure that you fully understand them, and learn anything new. 🙂

[rapid merlin]

[brisk tree]

Oh no what’s up

[blazing granite]

Bella get better soon, madscottishburd, what's up?

[chilly veldt]

my brain just fried, feeling like my head was falling off

[brisk tree]

Bloody hell that sounds rough

[blazing granite]

Indeed, maybe you need to slow down a bit

[chilly veldt]

yeah, as soon as I woke up I just called in sick and went back to sleep, cause I couldn't think

[blazing granite]

today was rainy, windy and kind of cold, I didn't want to get up 😂

[brisk tree]

Don’t blame you

[brisk tree]

Here it’s been cloudy and windy for a couple of weeks

[chilly veldt]

and I now have to figure out what to make for dinner

[sand trench]

wholesome goodness

[brisk tree]

I had mini pizzas and garlic sauce

[chilly veldt]

uhhh nice

I will probably just find something really easy

[brisk tree]

Good idea

And I’ll keep getting killed in the game I’m playing ahaha

[chilly veldt]

I am waiting on my room to boot on thm

[brisk tree]

Aww I haven’t done tryhackme for ages

[mossy river]

Spent too much time trying to perfect my form on deadlifts now my legs are vibrating (they’re shaking up and down LOL)

[chilly veldt]

oop

I am testing my final version of my room before QA

[sand trench]

leg day????

[mossy river]

Yes. It’s not going well, they are new workouts so I am having a hard time with the form.

[sand trench]

we belive in you jabba... you can do it

[mossy river]

Something super awesome happened though. I came here to ask questions about the no scooter policy and the PT I spoke to said he had a free 10 minutes and asked if I wanted to show him my workout for any advice.

I told him gladly and he gave me some tips!

He was super sweet as well

[normal fable]

Nice. My old PT texted me asking how I was doing the other day. 🙂

[foggy leaf]

I am not able to join this room

can someone helP?

it says, its premium

[crude stump]

its subcription only then

[foggy leaf]

huh

[chilly veldt]

it was changed to premium room after release, this is a bug with what was put on discord

[foggy leaf]

bruh

[mossy river]

It’s not necessarily a bug, it was a mistake when we released the room but the bot message can’t be updated

[foggy leaf]

ohh

[mossy river]

It was updated in the channel itself

[foggy leaf]

I actually got into that room somehow

but I again lost it after force refreshing

there was a small lag in my internet, so I clicked join room, and it worked.

[mossy river]

Yes, if you joined the room when it was free, you still cannot access it as a subscriber

[foggy leaf]

but I am not able to access now?

how do I fix it? or is it gone forever?

I actually didn't even start

[crude stump]

if you're a subscriber you can

[chilly veldt]

yeah, didn't mean bug bug, just a nice way to explain it quickly

[mossy river]

No harm done, just wanted to clarify 😄

[crude stump]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-spongebob-meme-tiny-kitchen-sponge-bob-tiny-kitchen-burger-gif-25042540

[sick lance]

What about the scooter!?

[normal fable]

I am also curious

[chilly veldt]

@sick lance my room is finally back in testing queue 👀

[brisk tree]

I just looked at a pic of how I used to look compared to how and im howling

[mossy river]

He basically said, the policy is vague but it also doesn’t say anything about bringing guns in but that doesn’t mean people should just bring them in

He suggested to just bring it in a bag and put the bag in the locker.

He didn’t know why we couldn’t bring them in but he said it’s likely insurance.

[blazing granite]

I hate autumn as much as winter I can't handle 🥶 give me all the heat you want no issue but 🥶 no way, I live with thermal clothes all these months 😂

[normal fable]

Motorized scooter?

[blazing granite]

I told him, you're going to say that 😂

[brisk tree]

All I have here is heat you can have some

[chilly veldt]

me but over the last 2 months

over the last 2 months I have lost 9kgs

[brisk tree]

Awww

[blazing granite]

it's not a bug it's a feature 😉 😂

[brisk tree]

I look so different to a few years ago

But can still look 9 at 26 at times

😂

[chilly veldt]

awwwwe, love seeing those types

I just look a lot more healthier

[mossy river]

Electric skateboard

[brisk tree]

I’m one of the few thay got skinny during lockdown

[chilly veldt]

[brisk tree]

Cause I stopped drinking for a test and Covid make me lose half a stone

Year

[chilly veldt]

it was just last year I gained 3 stones

[brisk tree]

I gained weight moving to the uae cause it’s American sized portions here

[chilly veldt]

lmao

[sick lance]

I restarted my computer and my small channels are back 😦

[brisk tree]

Also looool

[chilly veldt]

lmaoooo

[sick lance]

Possibly the battery?

[brisk tree]

😂😂😂

[blazing granite]

I have always look a lot younger, once I went to club and the guy at the door asked me for my ID 😂 not only that he looked at my ID, looked at me, looked at my ID again and apologise for the inconvenience 😛

[brisk tree]

Want to see a pic of me at 25 looking 9

Cause that’s my special skill. I could be one of those people to be on catch a predictor

[blazing granite]

It was hell growing up, I looked 12 when I was 18 😂 now I just laugh

[chilly veldt]

sorry not sorry

[blazing granite]

Also middle eastern people know how to eat 😂

[brisk tree]

I went to buy booze here and the security guard asked for my id laughed and said I thought you were 16 or 17 you look young

[brisk tree]

Ahahaha I do look desd

[chilly veldt]

yeahhhh

[blazing granite]

I've been there, I was once at the airport and security asked me, where my parents were 😂 I showed him my passport, the guy was so embarrassed he couldn't get away fast enough 😛

[sick lance]

Don't you get offered kid portions?

[normal fable]

I'd say you look young.. but everyone does compared to me. I would think you were 16sih..

[brisk tree]

I once got id’d by a tinder date. And another one I had took me to the bus and a bus driver asked if I needed a kids ticket 😂😂

[steady raven]

Hi, I'm new to the community, is there anything you recommend me doing on the server, topics that are discussed, etc.?

[shut hawk]

welcome! 😄

So long as you stick by the #rules you'll be good

[brisk tree]

Kids portions here are uk adult sized

[shut hawk]

and take a look at #start-here too

[blazing granite]

the tinder date 😂 the guy was thinking they aren't going to get me 😛

[hazy flume]

i recomend you take notes of what you learn and go over your notes

[normal fable]

Looking younger than you are is by no means a bad thing.. especially when you get older.. Trust me on that 😉

[steady raven]

I have a question. I'm very new to GNU and UNIX commands and I need to activate the Kali Linux SSH key to finish a hacking theory course, does anyone have any tips?

[blazing granite]

once you hit 18, you just laugh, before that it's hell

[brisk tree]

Ahahahahahahahahhaa it’s too funny. Just meant when all the woman my age when we get older will look old and I’ll be looking young

[sick lance]

Which course is it?

[steady raven]

A course from a famous company in the country where I live, they offer several hacking courses

[blazing granite]

The best tip is google it 😂

[shut hawk]

I have quite a baby face....but I'm also 6'7 so it kinda balances out

[crude stump]

[brisk tree]

I was early 20s here

[hazy flume]

really you are 67

[mossy river]

I swear every time you say this you get taller, what are you eating and where can I get some

[steady raven]

I even researched, looking at the Github articles, but it didn't help me much, as they told me to use software, and it wasn't even related to what I wanted.

[blazing granite]

I'm 1,55 meters, my face match my body but not my age 😂

[crude stump]

[mossy river]

I’ve seen pictures, either he’s 6’7 or the Eiffel Tower was really really far away… /s about the Eiffel tower part

Hi all.
I'm currently on room ultratech1. I have hidden the question, because there is spoiler on it. If you haven't done the room, just ignore my q.
||There is a api and if I use backsticks in the url path, then I can use shell commands there. But I dont understand why this happen. In Bash, the backstick is not for substitution, so why is this behavior happening?||

#room-help

[crude stump]

is that like a cure or what would you call it if it stops/fixes a techproblem or malware

[visual heart]

even if its not for help for the room itself, but to understand the mechanic behinde the machine?

[crude stump]

cure doesnt sound right lmao

[blazing granite]

maybe in #room-help can help you

[visual heart]

ok, I poste it on room-help 🙂 ignore my q

[shut hawk]

I've always wondered what its like to have an identical twin, if you could just swap classrooms/places for the day and see if anybody notices

[blazing granite]

posting the same question here, won't get you answers any faster 😂

[oak river]

Do we get points for doing advent of cyber from previous years?

[visual heart]

no i post it here first, and now in room-help.

At top it's showing 126 and at botton it's showing 124😂

[wintry sluice]

its a current bug. could well be linked to the bug of roles and levels not updating

must be a difficult bug to fix

[wintry sluice]

identical twins ♥️

I can't expand my view on identical twins and keep it PG13 😂

you hit a nerve there 😛

[whole yew]

https://tenor.com/view/po-facepalm-gif-27277915

[blazing granite]

you missed two on the way 😂

[wintry sluice]

I have identical twin nieces. 5 months old. they are getting so big 😭

[mossy river]

How do you tell them apart

[sick lance]

Their names, usually.

[tired peak]

thats what tags on their clothes are for

[blazing granite]

https://tenor.com/view/ba-dum-tss-gif-22849825

[tired peak]

although I bet the majority of twins get swapped at least once when they are young

[finite basalt]

you don't put a sticky note on the back of their head with their name on?

[mossy river]

https://tenor.com/view/calm-down-fist-mad-angry-anger-gif-17933836

[wintry sluice]

I can't. my sister gave them little bracelets with initials on them

[mossy river]

With identical twins, one of them is always evil (this is not backed up by any statistics or right in any way)

[tired peak]

I have multiple identical twins in my family, none of them are evil

[blazing granite]

wait until there are older enough to swap bracelets 😂

[finite basalt]

are you a twin, could you be the evil one 😱

[tired peak]

nope

[sick lance]

I have twins in my family.

[blazing granite]

that's what you think 😂

[sick lance]

Sounds like something the evil twin would say....

[mossy river]

Both equally super evil? /s

[tired peak]

I could be one of those twins that absorbed the other in the womb

[wintry sluice]

you ATE your twin? you really are the evil one

[tired peak]

never know

I don't have to explain everything I just threw it out to be funny

wonder why the bot didn't work

[chilly veldt]

we moved over to / and not !

[gray sonnet]

hey @winged crater rule 8 please 😄

[gray sonnet]

aye, I figured that out, I'm talking about the rep bot, should've been more specific

[chilly veldt]

cause there's no space between the mention and thankz

[gray sonnet]

ah, that's why

I thought it was that, but wasn't sure

[chilly veldt]

[sick lance]

Nobody is being aggressive.

You posted a thing about dark mode then guessed where two users are from for now reason, then posted a gif which could have started something else, which is why I was wondering if you were ok.

[devout palm]

Woah

[hushed adder]

Was there something wrong with the gif?

Or do you have a problem with Putin?

[warm bear]

Hi all 🙂

[hushed adder]

hey

[sick lance]

You're taking what I'm typing completly out of context.

And you know it,

[hushed adder]

If you're wondering if I'm okay yes I am and I'm not going to drag this out

[sick lance]

Excellent.

[warm bear]

How many hours do you fast?

[chilly veldt]

Suhoor is 04:21 and Iftar is 19:56

[warm bear]

wow

[hushed adder]

May Allah accept insAllah

[warm bear]

I do a solid 13.5hrs and I feel dead.

[hushed adder]

what do you do when you no longer have a desire to work in cyber security?

[wintry sluice]

does the fast preclude drinking coffee?

[sand trench]

branch out and try and learn something different

[warm bear]

Take a break until I realize I have a desire for it

[hushed adder]

I did but it's not working I want to deal with cyber security, but I don't want to

[chilly veldt]

fast includes not drinking anything

[gray sonnet]

Hey Shadow 👋

[sand trench]

try and see if someone can show you the impact of your owrk

[wintry sluice]

even water?

yes...

[hushed adder]

How does this bot work? Does it automatically recognize when someone replies?

[gray sonnet]

how're you doing this fine day?

[chilly veldt]

the fact that this is my first ramadan and I have heard that question sooo many times

[chilly veldt]

we are allowed to drink at night

[wintry sluice]

gives rep when someone replies or mentions another user and the message contains 'thanks'

[gray sonnet]

before sunrise and after sunset right?

[sand trench]

not very fine

[hushed adder]

thanks 😄

[gray sonnet]

why? you alright?

[chilly veldt]

kinda, there's some more rules to it

[warm bear]

then in that case, we can't breathe cos air has water molecules, so technically if we breathe we are drinking water?? Air tastes good

[gray sonnet]

aye, I know a few of them

[sand trench]

sooo if bella was far enough north in sweden they can never drink or eat as the sun never sets

[gray sonnet]

hey, I'm not muslim...a lot of my friends are...I'm just telling you what I've been told.....

[wintry sluice]

sorry, I'm only familiar with the intermittent fasting type of fasting.

[chilly veldt]

yeah, I guess

[sick lance]

Not enough to have an impact, it's like 4-6%

[wintry sluice]

but now I know 😄

[chilly veldt]

no worries, it's just the typical question that we get when it's ramadan 😄

[wintry sluice]

given the time of year, wouldn't it be more likely that the sun doesn't rise at all?
I thought the sun not setting was a thing in summer.

[sand trench]

the bot reacts if you ping someone with some specific key words.... including if you ping them with a reply... it goes after the first person pinged in a message which is the reply by default

[sand trench]

half of the year the sun never sets half the year the sun is never up

[chilly veldt]

it's actually possible that in 2030 we get 2 ramadans in 1 year

[wintry sluice]

sure, and the eternal day happens in summer, the eternal night in winter

[sand trench]

yuups

[warm bear]

brah anyone got thought bout the total eclipse happening on 8th of April?

[sand trench]

and ramadan happens at random times over the years

[charred forum]

its not random, it moves by ~10 days

[wintry sluice]

no eclipse in my country

hey everyone

[warm bear]

bonjour

[chilly veldt]

yeah, it's 355 days

[sand trench]

shadow did not realise what bellas religion is for a long while

[chilly veldt]

meaning the islamic calendar is 10 days shorter than the calendar we normally follow, and ramadan will then be happening 10 days earlier each year

[warm bear]

o:

[buoyant tree]

hola

[chilly veldt]

I haven't reverted to islam (yet) but I am currently studying and following ramadan due to wanting to be more spiritual open about different religions

[buoyant tree]

you following the shia or sunni calender for ramadan

[warm bear]

cool stuff

[chilly veldt]

following right between the sunni and shia calendar

[buoyant tree]

[sick lance]

You've purchased the domain, but do you own where it's hosted?

It’s remote host

just because the domain is yours doesn't mean you host it which would make that illegal

is it worth subscribing to tryhackme?

[normal fable]

Yes

[rapid merlin]

I guess so. Sometimes the rooms resolve in a "magic" way but everything is magic until you read and understand what is going on

[normal fable]

THM in general is worth subscribing. 🙂

*if you can afford it.. if not, then stay free tier.

[rapid merlin]

I am at the very beginning, mind you but... it is what it is and some learning, hitting a wall and trying to learn more is better than no learning.

[plain pagoda]

hmm okay, I'll take a look at the content and see if it is worth it over HTB. Depends on content for me.

[sick lance]

75-80 % of the website is free, it's best to use the platform and then make a judgement on spending on the sub or not.

[broken field]

Hey, does anyone experiencing vpn "no route to host error"?

[glossy portal]

The content is very good, considering the price

on THM

[sick lance]

#site-support if it's THM's VPN.

[broken field]

Thanks

[rapid merlin]

12 euro and whole skill abt CyberSec + Hacking sounds good to me

actually 14$ SOUNDS UNFAIR TO ME ITS WAY DAMM TO CHEAP 😂 for what they're giving

but! you should identify your level of existing knowledge before planning a path. Only thing that can drag you down is boredom

[coarse moth]

Hi, What path do you recommend after finishing Jr Penetrate Tester?

[rapid merlin]

I think knowing how to use mouse and read and type is the only required skill in THM to learn what they teach they already are teaching things like networking and on how website works and people keep creating rooms

No no I mean if you already know what IP is or was a programmer in your previous career some of the things are... redundant

I know python only

but one day ill go into c# and c++

[wintry sluice]

this is a good recommendation of path order: #general message

[rapid merlin]

It's just a personal peewee mate. I always always felt if I knew only use a mouse and read as you stated, I would have gleaned more information haha

also if you don't get things or don't remember just re-do it by re-do it I mean try to read everything from start again it worked for me abt networking fund

[wintry sluice]

can be worth redoing the basics.

• reinforces what you already know
• strengthens you where you are lacking
• shows you where you are misinformed

[rapid merlin]

can some mod pin this message?

[wintry sluice]

it already is

[rapid merlin]

oh ok

good

sometimes I feel like I missed something or haven't learned enough

but I just take some quiz and feel good again knowing I know

[wintry sluice]

with practice, that will fade

[rapid merlin]

HELLO PEEPS

Hi!

also do yall know what linux distro I should start using ubuntu or kali linux or what? or I can choose any I want

[midnight hazel]

rahhh

eagle

https://tenor.com/view/linux-windows-arch-btw-vulnerability-gif-26202413

[rapid merlin]

get virtualbox, spin them virtually and decide for yourself I guess

[wooden totem]

Arch 😃

[rapid merlin]

I rather VMware but good to know

but usually - for learning at least - Kali (or Parrot) offers a more streamlined approach

if you ask for your personal device where you will install on metal, I suggest pop_os

[wooden totem]

Parrot my beloved

[wintry sluice]

https://tenor.com/view/kendo-shinai-bonk-doge-horny-gif-20995284

[rapid merlin]

I do not know what the boys in System 76 cook but compared to ubuntu - everything just works with minimal effort

[rapid merlin]

tried once and .... I cried

/j

but, asus rog hates it so... I am on windows. Yes I know there is asus linux but god I am old and don't want to meddle with kernel to have a working system

[lavish shell]

Bodhi or Mint 20 both good

[rapid merlin]

ubuntu is good for hosting a server and shit am I correct? I remember thm saying smth like that

usually yes, ubuntu in its headless version uses minimal resources but hosting a server is a problem for a different tomorrow

[rapid merlin]

what abt Hannah Montana Linux?

[shell nova]

Don't use Kali as a daily

[rapid merlin]

and even then you have much easier options for server setup over digitalocean and other virtual providers

[lavish shell]

It may be good, if someone actually created it. As of right now, it's bogus

[shell nova]

Pop os does look interesting

[shell nova]

Rhel or derivatives are used a lot in enterprise contexts

[rapid merlin]

I was once a script kiddie so I do know how to use kali linux

but that was

years

years

[rapid merlin]

Indeed, some of the problems I encounter with barebones ubuntu - like bluetooth speaker setup or nvidia drivers - are not here. And, I fear to jinx it but, system updates do not bork the system.

Oh and codecs are built in so yay netflix?

and by script kiddie I don't mean I did bad things I just tested scripts

[scenic bobcat]

Kali is the easiest for pentesting cause it comes with everything pre-installed, for daily driving i'd recommend not using that but thats kinda just "try and see what you like" kinda thing
also when possible keep Kali in VM's so its easier to just do a quick rollback etc.

OpenSuse tumbleed is easy to start off, Ubuntu is quite popular too

If you're new to linux pick one of those or something else popular cause its easier to get help for online 😅

[rapid merlin]

But! Tumbleweed uses rpm

so no "sudo apt-get install xxx" for you 😄

weirdly after debian packaging system I found arch's repos easier to use rather than rpm... even though rpm and deb are nearly as old as each other

[sand trench]

apt-get is deprecated

users should use apt instead

[rapid merlin]

"from my cold dead hands" XD

thank you 🙂

it is kinda muscle memory-ish now but you are right

[naive violet]

To clarify for interactive use it has been deprecated

apt-get is appropriate for use in scripts

[sand trench]

if you want cursed do linux from scratch or gentoo and install multiple package managers

[sand trench]

oh thanks.. probably lost that part of the knowledge... been not using apt for a few years now

I did try it with a virtual machine and didn't see anything special really.

[wintry sluice]

mfw default installer for cybersec focused os use the acroynm for advanced persistant threat

sudo apt... ohgodohgodohgod

[rapid merlin]

well they did do a sudo with the latest xz attack

[sand trench]

well

[rapid merlin]

the person(s) get the ownership of the repo... then shenanigans happened

[sand trench]

apt stands for advanced package tool in this instance but yeah

[rapid merlin]

talk about a slow burn attack - jeez.

[sand trench]

the xz thingy is crazy

[rapid merlin]

it could have been disastrous, thank god it is not. and mostly it is social engineering I guess

https://research.swtch.com/xz-timeline - just craziness I agree

[true otter]

[rapid merlin]

cough log4j cough

[sand trench]

well log4shell was not intended by the parties that make log4j to ever be a bug to exist

it was more of a random occurence

the xz backdoor was 100% intentional

[rapid merlin]

true, I gave this example for the disastrous part 😄

[sand trench]

and a long con game

[wicked notch]

I am looking for people have Discipline so we will make a group and start journey towards cyper security for 6 months and will have video chat and discussion together to motivate each other

[gray sonnet]

[rapid merlin]

very VERY long con game and makes me shudder what packages that might be affected in the future

Basically same thing

I asked this previously but when doing rooms and learning new things are they then considered skills you gain or are there other rooms where you can refine those to turn them into skills? I'm just wondering if I can put it in my "resume".

[rapid merlin]

Tool based rooms can be considered as resume-friendly I guess

but I am just an old newbie

Nmap, burp, ffuf, hydra do feel like that for me anyway

[past sparrow]

I wouldn't really consider it a skill unless it is explicitly some kind of activity

[shell nova]

probably not worth much on a resume tbh

[rapid merlin]

so much this though

[past sparrow]

using a tool is a skill, tool itself is not a skill

[rapid merlin]

caveat emptor

[teal nexus]

Lets say I go over a wireshark room and I finish it, Could I put I know wireshark and put that under my skills in my resume?

Same with learning about Yara or opencti or etc

[wintry sluice]

if thats your only exposure to wireshack, you could say you have some experience with wireshark

[teal nexus]

When is a skill considered a skill, I guess its more of my overall question lol

[past sparrow]

Sure, why not? Though you want to elaborate how much you know of it because when I were to arbitrarily read it, I would assume you know it on expert level, not scraping the surface

[wintry sluice]

don't think thats quite on the level of a skill though

[teal nexus]

So is a skill meant to know at an expert level? I would assume most HR people would read a skill and be under the assumption that this person is well versed in that skill

[past sparrow]

That's why I like resumes where with skills is also some form of measurement how much skill there is

I don't want to read cryptography and then later find out they just know what cryptography means

[rapid merlin]

and this happens more often you think @teal nexus

[slender scaffold]

resumes are hard :<

[past sparrow]

yes, but there are also types of CVs where you put a skill and then rate your expose to it on a 5 ball scale!

[teal nexus]

Oh I am in agreeance, I'm just trying to figure out when is a good time to put added skills like hey I actually know this because I'm sure everyone is in the boat of I know this but I aint no expert and if that is the case how would you convey that in a resmue lol

[past sparrow]

if you think its 1 out of 5 then that makes it less ambigious

[slender scaffold]

8ball scale ❤️

[rapid merlin]

Or someone writes "Kobo" in their CV as a skill (a data gathering program especially used in NGOs) , you question them and they say "oh I've heard it in a course"

[teal nexus]

Is there though? lol I haven't ran into that so I really am unaware lol

[rapid merlin]

head meets desk then

[past sparrow]

Of course there are, there is no standard for CV, though they do follow similar framework

[slender scaffold]

I’ll just put a bullet point saying I have possible imposter syndrome… at least I hope I do… I don’t know if I’m good enough

[teal nexus]

Can you point me in the direction of a example of this as I have never seen this

[past sparrow]

everything I have impostor syndrome for I put "average user"

[teal nexus]

Guess I'm an average user then lol

[shell nova]

Welcome to the club

[rapid merlin]

Thank you for the nice chat! Have a fantastic evening/day

[teal nexus]

I'm just more concerned about putting a skill when I am a basic user and know how to navigate and look for stuff but not an expert

[past sparrow]

I googled "CV templates" and on first page I found something like this

[wintry sluice]

imposter syndrome about having imposter syndrome

[shut hawk]

See that's why I'm not so sure on taking up space with "Skills" on my CV when its a purley subjective thing, especially if that space could be used for something better

[slender scaffold]

No way am I putting my photo up there

[teal nexus]

Interesting, I never seen this type of resume. How much does it work within infosec hiring process?

[teal nexus]

What is a better use of that space other than skills?

[past sparrow]

I don't think the CV template matters, it matters what is in it

[slender scaffold]

Grading my own abilities 🟦 🟦 🟦 🟦 🟦

[teal nexus]

I'm just more concerned things getting looked at through AI and no human actually going over it.

My own abilities 🟦

how're you doing this fine day?

[slender scaffold]

Surviving :3 it is adequate

[past sparrow]

Yeah well, depends where you apply, tricking AI is probably easier to trick than technical person

[shut hawk]

Potentially something like Extracurricular activity where you can show of what you've done?

Like talking about setting up a homelab for example

[past sparrow]

Sorry we hire only people that have at least 8 boxes.

[slender scaffold]

It would be interesting to create a negative resume and see if the auto check for terms let’s you pass anyway

Does not know cryptography.
Does not know Python

[teal nexus]

hmmm, I've just been applying and haven't had any success so just more curious about adding skills or changing things up.

[past sparrow]

You can increase your chances by sending 100 very fake horrible CVs so yours looks actually really good

[shut hawk]

"Did not work for a FAANG company. Did not win a Nobel prize."

[sand trench]

uh oh you just doxed amanda stroll /joke

[teal nexus]

I just never know how to convey it because I feel like everyone pretty much makes a home lab when getting "internet" but I'm just being very simplistic about it and know you can make a robust homelab

[sand trench]

would call that unethical but eh

Yeah, I understand, I'm not really the best person to talk about this but I'm sure if you asked in #cyber-and-careers somebody more knowledgeable would be able to provide some advice

Awhile back, I saw a talk on youtube given by a dev that mixed pokemon into the resume as part of the verious tech stacks they worked with - if a recruiter didn't know which items weren't programming languages, the dev filtered that recruiter into spam

[teal nexus]

I do appreciate it and I am with you, just never know how to go about it lol. My question kinda spiraled into multiple questions so I am sorry peoples lol

[past sparrow]

bad habit of mine

[shut hawk]

no harm done, always good to ask questions - also allows other people to get advice as well on the same topic

[shut hawk]

LOL! Got a link?

[teal nexus]

Yea I'm just working through the SOC Level 1 path and was wondering when and if I could put these things into my skills hence why I asked the question at the start of our conversation but yea hopefully it helps others as well lol

[wintry sluice]

if everyone is doing it, mentioning it puts you on par with everyone else.
if everyone isn't doing it, mentioning it puts you above everyone else.
if you don't mention it, you get no boost, regardless of whether others are doing it

[teal nexus]

Good way to look at it

[gray sonnet]

wonders how many people here know how to catch feebas

[gray sonnet]

I don't know, fish it out of the water and hit it with a pokeball?

[teal nexus]

I assume its like fishing it at night under a full moon. Something dumb like that lol

[crude stump]

Tbh you can tell which one is Pokémon because they aren’t out of this world names

Quick someone make a tool named after a Pokémon

Hello, I am new to the world of cybersecurity and I am receiving training. I use try hack me for educational purposes. But my tryhack me attack box, which I always use, does not open. normally it would go from zero to 100 dollars and open. This used to only take a few minutes but now it says -3000% and the machine takes around 40 minutes to start up. I contacted support and they said they would update my account, but nothing changed. Please can someone help me?

[gray sonnet]

#start-here

[sand trench]

see this route

all those water tiles

only 6 of them let you catch feebas
