Hi
'ello
Anyone else a fan of Rooibos tea?
Im sorry but no
You should try it
My mother drinks that
Honestly, I swear that OneNote is the best thing that Corporate work has taught me
Is it meant to have a ~ at the end of file name
Im an OneNote enjoyer, yes
Uhh
let me check myself
Oh wait, my kali can't do that too
This is stupid
Mine has the ~ at end of file name and if I change it, it's no longer dark green
It's been a long time since I hopped on THM until the other day. I forgot I was already level 8
Well
I juts fixed problem
My problem
I mean
I could not do that(Update my kali)
Now I can
But it wasn't a problem I actually was searching the solution to

Give me a screenshot
OneNote is pretty great. A few years ago I discovered Obsidian though, and man oh man, it's incredible
Yeah I have obsidian too
But OneNote is just like
Copy paste screenshots
Modify text like in MoS word
While obsidian can't do that I think?
yup, much more visual
Try Windows logo + Shift + S on your keyboard
Obsidian can embed images, but text formatting takes some CSS screwery, and you don't have as many options out of the box with regards to images and stuff. But they serve slightly different purposes
cat /etc/apt/sources.list - do this
ah oke
That works too
Let me look at it
do nano /etc/apt/sources.list
nano /etc/apt/sources.list <- do this
And give me a screenshot of what you see
Thanks, im gonna try that too

Put a new job REQ up for my team, if anyone is interested
What is it about?
You'd be working alongside me, for better or worse 
Infosec engineer II on the cybersecurity defense team
Is it Intern/Junior level?
Oh shoot, hey Spore!
Be careful about including non-kali repos in your apt sources list. It's a really great way to break your system
After that?
Press Windows logo + left shoft = s on your keyboard
This applies to all debian-derived distros (ubuntu, kali, et al) https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian
And give me a screenshot
Noooo unfortunately. Gotta have some level of experience. But even if you don't have a ton of cyber experience, if you are driven and hungry to learn, throw your hat in the ring anyway
Go buster won't install
I am interested
You see the deb repositories right?
Just goes to save it
greetings everyone!
nice to meet y'all
i'm new over here
started tryhackme since two days and i'm considering switiching to premium
My resource list looks like this:
# See https://www.kali.org/docs/general-use/kali-linux-sources-list-repositories/
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
# Additional line for source packages

Umm... the new AWS cloud learning is £100 per month??? Is it made of gold?
What the
Oops
No, of AWS. AWS isnt free yk
Let me fix that
Do you know how much AWS costs to run?
Awsome #start-here
Please edit this to be a source code block instead of using the markdown......
```bash
content goes here
```
Yep, still not sure the cost is justified though surely
on tryhackme?
Yes, just did that. Apologies, I have rarely done it
So you'll know why THM have set the price as they have
I can only imagine THM and HTB's AWS bill. I know for the SANS SEC565 class I did, our labs were probably $600/student for the week
What? it's still £329
it says 329 for me
yep 329
No that's per seat
I only want one seat
It's only for business the annual
okay, so i don't get access to everything if i get the 12 pound per month premium subscription?
I mean it is Amazon
Only the AWS path is exempt.
@steel aspen
In case you come later to check instruction:
-
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.txt
-
Make sure the below code is present inside sources.txt:
# See https://www.kali.org/docs/general-use/kali-linux-sources-list-repositories/
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
# Additional line for source packages

# deb-src https://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib
- Ctrl + O <- Saves what you inserted into the file
- Ctrl + X <- Exit file
- sudo apt-get update
so i'll get access to everything else apart from the aws?
You can look at the path.
Ok, AWS, business and educational rooms are exempt.
I have been a long time supporter of THM, but I'd need to see some value before I spend that kind of money on it
Nobody’s saying you have too baro.
On the flip side, nobody is expecting you to pay for it, it's an optional purchase.
I understand I don't HAVE to, but I wanted to lol
Hm interesting
what are inside business and educational rooms?
Gave +1 Rep to @near hawk (current: #67 - 96)
Rooms excluside to that business or school.
Some business and schools have rooms create don THM.
For you users, yes.
Or does every business have access to every business room?
No.
Like are there public rooms for only businesses?
Does that mean I can install go buster via cli now
No, they're private.
ah yeah
Cos the tar gz files are annoying
i suppose if i'm planning to be a pentester in future, just a premium subscription would do for learning everything i need?
Yeah, bare in mind, 75-80 % of THM is actually free.
Thank you, worked
Gave +1 Rep to @oak river (current: #826 - 4)
Premium is definitely worth it man, best investment you could make for your career
Scrubz can you confirm the file up top with the Kali stuff? Does it all look good?
I'm glad I could help you
Community Service is important
I've just shut all my machines down. lol
Well I guess it's working good enough for me 🤣
If it breaks, it breaks
Yeah
By breaking we learn
As long as whatever breaks is not critical or important to us
A virtualbox image - Go ahead and break it as much as you want
@sick lance thanks bruv
why did the bot flag me for spam lol?
Gave +1 Rep to @sick lance (current: #1 - 2148)
It's fine. The changes is to edit the channels available for the kali repo. it's not bringing anything crazy in. I would still advise you to do some reading on the debian upstream about how apt works though.
anyone see this error before? trying to brute force a pop3 password in hydra. after ~2 minutes this error starts spewing. I was thinking hydra was broken so I found the actual password, and put it in a smaller word list and it worked. im assuming the error is coming from dovecot, but not sure what I need to alter in hydra to fix it.
POP3 PLAIN AUTH : -ERR Disconnected for inactivity during authentication.
thanks for the feedback
would you say tryhackme is enough in providing with all the learning to begin in a career of cybersecurity or at least land a job as a pen tester or smth?
or would i need extra stuff along with it
Yeah I need to learn about the different package naangers n what they do
Possibly being a new account an posting multiple times.
Recommend any blogs?
The official docs would be good.
That's probably a good idea lol
whoops!
Not always 🙂
I wouldn't say it's enough, but it's the most concise platform available for specialised knowledge. You'll still need some practical experience, so try building a home lab and get yourself into any IT job to handle real world situations
one of the things i noticed about thm is that there's a lack of programming tutorials on it
(i know it's focused on hacking/cybersecurity mainly, but isn't programming an important part in that field as well?)
so that arises the question, how much programming do i need to learn from other sources and to what extent?
Python scripts yes, coding not so much unless you want to become a security engineer
for pentesting?
I think its mainly scripting thats prevalent in the industry
unless you're getting into maldev / rev engineering
Pentesting is mostly scripting.
Yea unless you wanna write your own tools or so
i'm a bit out of depth here
how does scripting differ from programming?
(i used to think it's the same thing until 2 seconds ago (i'm a beginner in computer science stuff))
Scripting is just building a small program to automate tasks, whereas programming would be building out a whole application
scripting is usually done with higher level languages to automate tasks
got it!
Start with the beginner stuff and see how you like it
i'm just doing B.Tech CSE (1st year) at the moment
That new room seems fun
Nice. Yeah, build a strong foundation. Cyber security is a never-ending life of learning
hello can someone explain this better to me
unsigned char new_bytes[3] = { 0xDD, 0xD8, 0x90 };
for (int i = 0; i < sizeof(new_bytes); i++)
i understand that if i is smaller than the sizeof new bytes add a 1 to i loop kind of but i don't understand the new_byes[3] = { 0xDD, 0xD8, 0x90 };
can someone explain this better if they have the time please? Thanks in advance 😄
are you familiar with arrays in C? @undone sorrel
i understand a tiny bit of arrays with python and stuff, but it still confuses me a bit
i read the array in learncpp but this one confuses me
i think i've got some notes on array from my college
if you don't mind me dming it, i'll be happy to take pictures of it and send it to you
if you could, that would be amazing 😄
thank you so much brother ❤️
no worries
gimme a few mins
take your time pal
that line basically declares an array called new_bytes with the data type 'unsigned char'
you should be able to understand what an array it, if you can go through my notes
so if for example
new bytes had 4 values in it like it would have to be
unsigned char new_bytes[4] = { 0xDD, 0xD8, 0x90, 0xDC };
yeah
I just figured out how to get linux on my school computer
How so?
why do u even want to install linux on your school computer
i dont, i just could if i wanted
I would advise you to not make changes like that to your school issued equipment and hardware. I know of a couple of students who were expelled for hacking their chromebooks.
Yep thats not allowed under our tech usage policy and risks expulsion
@gritty fern and PLEASE do all the school technicians a favor, and DONT drop your chromebook. We will be pissed off that people treat chromebooks like a toy, and their property.
Not saying you do that, just saying my peace lol
I see people throwing them all the time at my school
Ontop of that. NO STICKERS!
2 day detention for stickers at my school
Those kids have a special place in my heart..... the burning depths, I hated those kids
lmao
😭
Not at you, those kids lol

I'm over here trying to figure out how I'm going to setup a cell service booster in the basement...
Valid
Some basements get no cell at all
Yah, headache, good news is. Nearest cell tower is in the back
Bad news is, multi million dollar house, so no drilling 
And you need a booster still?
Nah, got a booster. Demanding instructions, so no idea how they want it setup
I see i see
The booster needs to be at least 2 feet away from the indoor antenna, and the outdoor antenna needs to be 50 feet horizontal or 20 feet vertical from inside antenna
lol

In this video I demonstrate how a solar panel can turn light waves into sound, by attaching the panels output wires to the input of a telephone amplifier. For those who are interested in making a project like this, please note that not all amplifiers will worked well with this set up, but these older telephone amplifiers worked great.. One othe...
that is pretty neat
wow kiterunner is great
Very short amount of time
hiii!
Dude.... the amount of chromebooks I got back with like "I just dropped it" and it was OBVIOUSLY thrown

Is it normal for the terminal to be a bit laggy when typing commands once you've established an ssh connection?
I thought like when I type a command it's "typed" on my end, and only when I hit enter is it sent and executed, so I don't understand why there's "terminal lag"
it's not unbearable but there's about a half second delay or so and I'm just curious what the reason is

An alternative to python server.
what’s ⬆️ dog
O
So there was a Data breach from one website. My physical address phone number email was leaked. Any tips what to do?
Python server like discord? Or a actual server that hosts python
Be aware of increased phishing attacks
Scrubz I've been snookered by maths
Like the http.server on Linux etc
ie python -m http.server
Can’t you change your phone number
How did that happen?
Like calling up your phone company
Building something, struggling to get the maths working
I will change it tho. And also change my email address
Not that's not like you, you're human after all!
Is this Radio work?
Yep, nothing is linear

Yes definitely
That’s kinda all you can do. I have a scam shield that is amazing
I can't even behin to imagine how I could help 
Quick question about the rooms. I noticed that some rooms seem to be hard to Search for? For example, one of the THM blogs has a link to the CompTIA PenTest+ course, but when I go to search for it by name, nothing pops up. Is there a trick I'm not aware of?
Ohhh
It's a path.
I've done the algebra
I basically have to find the closest fraction to a value, with constraints on the numerator and denominator
Thank you for the links! How do you find these paths?
@naive violet oh, the universal booster we were using, it works
Huh, neat
If you click the learn
Go to learn on the dashboard
Thats why I am getting a lot of spam messages on Whatsapp
Yah, not the one I showed you, we found one called WeBoost, very nice quality
Google Messages does
Oh, I see, there aren't that many paths to search through. Thank you!
Samsung phones have a setting too
There always one step ahead
iPhone doesn’t unless I just don’t know about it
It’s more of what’s inside of them
Gotcha! Thank you
Gave +1 Rep to @crude stump (current: #126 - 51)
You’re welcome. Also just a fyi some of the paths are subscriber only paths, so if you don’t have access just search up the topic of that path. There should be other rooms that are similar and free
I'm a subscriber, fortunately. I've been a bit of a bum, admittedly, just sitting on a subscription without doing anything with it, but I'm trying to get serious now that my "summer vacation" I gave myself is over. Currently doing the "complete beginner" path just as a brush up from what I learned in my degree
I thought it was the case that all paths contain some subscriber only content
That’s awesome
Hm
If that’s the case “all the rooms or only some”
Matty are you leaning towards red team or blue team
Uncertain at this point. I don't feel like I've gotten a lot of exposure yet to make a determination, but I feel like I enjoy forensics...though that could simply be because it was the last class I took. Red team is super interesting, but I'm not a youngin' anymore and I don't feel like I have the technical expertise to be the tip of the spear quite now
Yeah forensics is definitely fun
SMB was a bit hard to dig up in the last stages for an easy learning path
Had to sneak into a writeup
Forensics is amazing!
I love it, but I feel like they should have told me what to do
In this case I did not what to do
And it's a learning room
Otherwise Im happy with the process
I mean turn the heat up, once I've learned how to cook at least

I'm optimistic about it, but like I said, I don't really have a lot of experience with anything, so it's hard for me to know what field I'm most interested in
I am a "forensics expert" and Security Analyst/Sepcialist 
So of course I love forensics
I'd love to get some perspective sometime! Or even just some tips on good ways to dip my toes in
AAAAH
You work as that?

c++ kept telling me of for using too much memory ☹️
oh well, the numbers doesn't work
this is completely new to me
but the different emojies does
It's microcontroller code
Library support for a peripheral chip is way better with arduino c++ than the micropython/circuitpython libs
Difficult maths problem to solve otherwise
C++ doesn't do that. Your OS will if you leave danglng pointers, though.
checks out, are you using mbed?
It was when I was programming an Arduino, I think something to do with the array size being to large for it
Juun I found out why my stuff broke with my SQL calls
there was a count added into my SELECT statement
That's not C++ telling you it doesn't work, it's the IDE telling you that you don't enough memory on the chip for the code.
ahh okay, sorry c++ for the slander
i stuck on nosql inj ctf can anyone have time for help please?
My friend showed me a joke today which involved the punchline of "Because he can't C#!", and my friend asked me "What on Earth does he can't see hashtag mean" LMAO
This is cool though, what's the project for?
I've done some algorithms that took a 4GB array as an input, so I really doubht it's C++ itself failing to understand data that size
Have you tried checking the write-ups now that the CTF is no longer active?
i could't find any writeup about it
Pi pico. Peripheral is an si5351, i2c clock generator
The maths problem suuuuucks.
For a given decimal value, find the best approximation a/b
15≤a≤90
3≤b≤2049
What's the CTF called?
it was very simple but i trying about 3 hours :D
https://kslweb3.spb.ctf.su/2-7/ here the link the vuln was nosql
oooof. yeah, optimization like that is not going to be super simple
How many dp?
Can you send me the CTFtime posting instead?
You're already working at 1e-3 minimum
I can already guesstimate precision is gonna be awful, not sure how they're doing it smartly
Oh, no, accuracy will be awful
Precision maybe ok
its called "SPbCTF" but i can't find it task in events, i found it from teams and after from the team's site
Hey guys. Whatweb is not running in my kali linux, because of my windows firewall. Anyone have idea how to fix that?
Good luck, I always find division nasty to work with
Meanwhile I've got around ~month till my exams 😢
And what's the challenge called?
it's been so long since i've used something like that, i can't suggest anything thatm ight be helpful
Yeah I mean I just have poc code to handle a rotary encoder, an oled, and had a tiny bit for the si5351
It's not a biiiig deal to rewrite once my tooling is sorted
it have't any descrption its so simple mongodb injection but after 2 years rest i lose my skills
oh well, I should sleep, it's EID tomorrow
Are you sure the challenge is still online..? lol
yep
i reconised from them
What do you mean?
rotary encoders are dope
the platform of the challenge
I cannot access the challenge link you sent so I have very little information to go off.
I would probably recommend checking out more recent challenges? They should have write-ups too:)
how
It might be country restricted, are you located in Russia?
looks like that is the specific challenge
Is it true it’s always rainy in Britain
no, just mostly
it kinda depends on where you are
but most of the time yes
I wonder why
Mountains also.
Thank you for having me in this awesome community.i am new here and I just joined the Tryhackme to learn some skills. Please I am new in IT and I want to get into cybersecurity.

if you drink enough to forget it's bad for you is it still bad for you
The easy paths usually until now have been very precise and beginner friendly
./nimscan.nim
Pretty unnecessary on discords part in my opinion
There are some easy rooms that throw in some things that I have not met until now and do not explain the a lot
Like netcat and msfvenom
In this case should I check for msfvenom rooms and netcat rooms
Or do my own online research
Yeah it’s usually like that because they want to hit that it’s prolly in the next room
i can attest to that
The next room is Burpsuite
Has nothing like that
Never know it could be
Thankfully
There is a reverse shell easy room
Guess I'll take it in a bit
But im done for today
I am trying to do the network security room and I keep getting this error with the nmap command. Does anyone know why?
yes
MACHINE_IP
nmap and put the IP

Click on start the machine in your browser
Wait for the IP to appear
Copy IP
Replace MACHINE_IP with the IP of the machine from your browser on the page
Were all here for you mate
No problem
When you see something similar in other commands
Except nmap
Know that it's a dummy word

I'm also a beginner so I would appreciate some basic feedback
So during enumeration stage
We mostly use nmap right?
After we discover open ports, we try to connect:
Often I guess we would try an ftp, ssh or telnet connection?
Definitely low hanging fruit but NMAP can be super loud if you run the wrong scan.
you can also use the service info that is returned to lookup exploits
You mean security measures would detect and block me?
Like IDS/IPS/Firewall?
Or a human resource that is sitting and observing the system?
Or what do you mean by that? I mean why would I care that I am loud if the machine does not have any security measures preconfigured?
Most likely if its a loud enough scan- best example is my isp
they will detect it if you're doing a aggressive port scan and boot you off lol
I think thats under IPS if i learned that correctly
Practice machines most likely dont have such stuff setup except like the harder ones probably
Talking about a real life scenario, but yeah either an IPS will detect malicious scanning based on a signature of your behavior, and your actions will be logged, or your origin IP could be blocked by a fire wall rule with a program like fail2ban
Could end up in a SIEM and flagged as high risk and then investigated
But more than likely depending on the target your ip would be black listed for a time

Question, I noticed MSF venom payloads for the reverse shell use the nc command, does that mean the target PC has to have netcat installed on it for it to work?
netcat is typically on the system yeah
nevermind, there's other reverse shell commands too
is netcat on most linux systems in actual pentesting?
iirc yeah
I googled netcat and it turns out it's almost 30 years old
I thought it was relatively new, 2010-ish
I’m so discouraged
I just wanna go home and sleep
But I have to do taxes
Gawd and I have to wash my car cause the birds hath much blessings upon it! >_<
so happy i'm not a grown up
taxes are so scary

For the room Windows Privilege Escalation, Abusing Service Misconfigurations, windows defender will stop you from completing task 5
I've never seen windows defender do something useful before. 😂
Naw it’s alright
What do we think about cybersecurity memes in here?
Love em

I thought Rust was a magic security fixed coding langugage!: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/critical-rust-flaw-enables-windows-command-injection-attacks/
Tbh you can never rely on something that’s considered “safe” somehow people find out how to abuse it
I’m not very versed in the rust language but is it saying if the person didn’t properly escape the batch or exe, the attacker can inject arbitrary code into it?
Ncat is by the NMAP devs
@vocal gale Why aren't ya coming to Defcon this year?
defcon should be free so i can go

netcat is how all kinds of stuff got done on old systems haha
hot singles are in your area
💀
gonna start a roofing company called hot shingles
I mean thats not what would happen but sure lol
i'm not even that old and what you just said aged tf outa me
How so?
Nah i know that
ah sounded like you didn't ---- we good then
Thats just not what ILOVEYOU.txt.vbs did
Yeah lol ive used it despite being very new to the computer scene
heya Verum
You do know what that’s referring to right?
You going to watch the fallout tv series tmrw?
i assume some high value collector one dollar bills are at the auction house
i didn't even know that existed until now
Hmm, its got a lotta hype with it
All the reporters who got early viewing have had positive impressions
Nah ILOVEYOU.txt.vbs was an exploit way back when that used a vulnerability in VBS that allowed it to execute system commands, therefore allowing it to infect, it travelled mostly by attaching itself to sent emails and masquerading as a love letter
relevant xkcd : geoIP hot singles https://xkcd.com/713/
Got a couple personal things and a surgery so won't be able to this year
oh shit i thought you were referring to the msg i replied to 😂
@boreal scarab next year for sure hopefully
Ohhh lmao
vbs was such a fun lil thing to mess with back in the day
haven't actually read a line of it in years
I was surprised you didnt know cuz it was kinda a huge exploit
wait i have a fix for this
Nah itll still be updating in ~235 years
Never
why hyperlink
cause it runs hyperland
Ig i just get instantly suspicious when people send hyperlinks lol
normally i agree but discord actually tells you what it is before it does anything
That was one of the most dangerous malware
Yeah i accidentally clicked it and it showed fedora project
only time it's valuable is when somebody whitelists youtube.com on their client so it doesn't warn them before sending them to rick astley
never whitelist youtube
eh i get it -- like if you're here helping with thm rooms all day some people might not wanna get prompted for every single tryhackme url
Personally I would never turn it off but to each is own
Im extremely secure
Same
i do appreciate the option existing tho
Also saves you from accidentally clicking on a link
cause screw devs who don't give options
real
speaking of options actually
I made a command line tool that cracks hashes!
very proud
It does them systematically though so anything more than 4 characters is unviable
Nice job, nit a bad program to havw
and you can input either a hash or a plaintext password with switches
neat 🙂
is it a brute force approach or a more granular(?) technique?
Thank yee
Gave +1 Rep to @polar spoke (current: #158 - 41)
But four characters is extremely limited
building your own tools is always pretty fun.
Brute force
Completely
working on expanding a foss tool rn just waiting for some PRs to get merged
working on a better algorithm though to search only the most command format of pws
No wonder you say neat. Hash cat dev 
it's nice when you can see something come out of your work
Is it dictionary based?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Hydrogen did you make this on C
that's me. i made hashcat. || don't ask to verify tho i don't do that ||
lol
?
Really?
the hashcat dev was actually on here, but i forget who it is
You pulling my leg
i would never
Chicken
that's right
well, not lead technically
Given the inherent stochastic nature of the cryptographic hash functions utilized by the hashcat password recovery tool, and considering the computationally intensive process of iterating through the vast permutational space of potential password candidates within the context of a brute-force attack, how might one go about optimizing the time-space trade-off in relation to the granularity of the character set employed, while simultaneously mitigating the potential for collisions arising from the pseudo-random distribution of hash values across the range of possible digest outputs, and what implications might this have on the theoretical complexity bounds of the underlying algorithms in light of the asymptotic behavior of the hash functions under various input conditions, particularly with respect to the avalanche effect and its impact on the non-linearity of the resulting digest mappings?
just one of the core team
mah lawd
I see
I was waiting to ask the creator of hashcat that, now I finnaly found the person who can solve the question
I can tell when I'm not wanted lol. See you all later
as jargon filled as this is, it does actually ask a question i can answer lol
in that order? fuck if i know may as well be swedish
Mind if I ask what language you made it with?
i just realized you answered as well lol
😛
I don't even know what the question is, but props to you
Just gave Claude a prompt for creating this
it loosely asks "how can you optimize bruteforce and what impact does that have on collisions due to the nature of common hash functions"
the whole second half can be answered as "we don't care at all about the mappings/collision rate in the vast majority of cases"
also you weren't even talking before
do you just sit there, staring, waiting for someone to mention hashes or cracking or hashcat
the first half has a more nuanced range of answers
I'm everywhere all at once and nowhere at all 🙂
hmmm
Nope it guesses everything possible combination
C++, first language i actually technically learned
That’s sick
brb gonna go open a pr on hashcat that just adds my name to the readme
is that still a thing that happens?
LOL we had some stupid ones recently like that
recently 🙄
Ima learn C anyone know basic security programs I could make?
Did you accept them???
obv not
Password manager
Oo
Anti-priv esc? Maybe possible and if it is seems relatively easy to pull off
a maintainer just replied to me apologetic like so so sorry for taking so long to approve (it's been like 2 days) and the first thing i thought of was like my god people suck if you gotta apologize for that being too slow
I’ll have to look more into it
Write that one down too
Chat-GPT says its possible
I propose that we all now call "Chat-GPT" now be "Chat-Gibbidy"
Yea
spotted the prime watcher
Yes
All in favor say “Aye”
Aye
Aye
Ay
We be following the pirates rules
Didn't get the reference
AYEEEE CAPTAIN
wait, really?
nop
he calls it chat gipity all the time on his videos lol
who?
idk i think he's literally called the prime or something
Captain Jack be our captain
I can't find him
camman18
Minecarts should be faster
AH BIRCH
Birch is the best wood type
Only for stripped logs
Oh, I have seen him once or twice
@polar spoke i just opened up your Issues page and i stg it's like a foreign language
I wanna code a custom tool rn but i dont have a computer and idk what to code
repl.it if you really wanna code and are on a phone
Im not that desperate jeez
you got a pen?
Chickenman is on a different level of intelligence
Why so modern
I use a quill and thin tree bark
Write on a rock with a hammer
In dirt with finger
I would rather use a chisel
eh use bones
lol
thats where I draw the limit
Replit is fun
Just use repeated friction by rubbing your nose on it hundreds or times for one line
my god
i have a shoutbox open in the background from earlier
it's configured to say "staff" on my speakers if a certain word is said
Whaa
it just said STAFF loud af in a bri'ish accent and it's 11pm and i did not expect it
Actually 10:55🤓
literally just staff and support
this aint shout tho so we good
you can't hurt me
AHHHH
no comment
But you just commented saying ‘no comment’
He’s in Britain
that was actually a reply
Dang
why is there a t there? weird.
briain
bri'in
Bri ain
i do like "briain" tho lol
Brill
Whatchu meen in thee states lad? Im australian (not really)
Wait thats scottish
shit
You’re
😨
- your're
Good job comrade
whats that
in this case it's just pemiblanc. i was lazy and didn't source it til a few days ago
This feels like half the attack rooms lol
that's some mobile apps i've tested
Whats pemiblanc…
wait that reminds me
one of my bounty targets has a new asset to hit
i gotta do dat
Ookee
Istg i always see your name and think “oh a terminal let me run ls”
like i actually type out ls in the message box
~~ don't forget to remove the french language pack ~~
Anyway whats everyones favorite koth machine?
blue
I like space jam
also red
I can pwn it in like under 3 minutes
weird. HIBP shows a particular user as being included in pemiblanc but it's not in my dump. Everything else is validated fine.
What does that mean?
Productivity are you really 0xGod
referring to the website have i been pwned (ran by the guy i linked to before, troy hunt)
yoar*
yeeor
Yeah

HiBP

yeah that's https://haveibeenpwned.com/
quick lets find 0xhy's everywhere-password
************?
Its extremely secure
Took me a minute to figure out that you meant me lol
noticed the thinking pause in typing lol
but yeah anything notable from your hibp? i have a few on my old main from back in the day, mostly on shit that doesn't matter
ider what mine were cause i hid them from HIBP searches lol
i need to verify to see them
Lol
actually i remember chegg was one, although that was a secondary email
My email and password(as SHA-1
) is out in a 2019 breach
Imagine if we could harness black holes and use it to get rid of trash
Ive changed it since then tho
we do, that's called a burn barrel out back
💀
We probably could it would just be super duper costly
sha1 is probably fine tho. you'd be surprised how many are plain still or like basic md5
also tons of SSNs and such
