After a few, it would need to be specialist software and a lot of time to get anything. gotta ask yourself if the information on there is worth someone or some organisation putting all those resources into it

Well, if it's the drive with the Operating system on, you can probably re-install a fresh one. That will delete everything, and the new OS will overwrite a bunch of it

#

I don't kno much about macs, but theres probably a utility on there for doing that

Oh right, yeah - Just format it a few times then and you'll be golden

anybody has some experience using Kali on ARM? (RaspberryPi or Kali/Mac) I have the feeling that there are some important things not working on ARM. For example I cannot use this "kubeletctl" and Apache Direct Studio (LDAP Browser) and I stumbled across some other things during my hack-boxes not working 😦

start by completing your sentences.

#

Could be a multitude of things. Personally, I wouldn't want to recommend anything in case it would break your laptop. Might be worth contacting a local IT repair place

#

Full sentences! For real, the multiple lines is annoying.

Please help bro I can't go to reapir shop bc if someone knows in my house I will get killed

glass nest
#

Well, I doubt anyone would literally kill you for your laptop not working.

#

'Hey Mom/Dad/Brother, the laptop looks like it's stuck in a loop, and I don't know why. I think I need to take it to a repair shop'

tiny zephyr
#

Does someone here know if it is possible to dual boot with one hdd?

glass nest
#

ok, you won't get 'killed' over a laptop malfunctioning. Computers sometimes break for no discernable reason

You should listen to Esqy. You dont want to make the situation worse by trying to fix it yourself

glass nest
#

Aww, Thanks Luca 🙂

#

So.. You did what the computer told you to do. Honesty with the family would be the best policy here - Seems like you did nothing inherently wrong.

#

Good. Then you can freely take it to a computer repair place.

#

With your life intact.

#

you've made 2 sweeping generalisations and assumptions. 1 That your brother would be unreasonable, and another that all indian computer repair places are scams. Have you actually thought logically about anything in this situation?

shell nova
#

Sounds like there's an important life lesson here

glass nest
#

If a repair place presses 1 button and it fixes the issue, thats not a scam. They just have the knowledge to know which button to press. Thats what they charge for.

#

Whats wrong with Dual-booting, Bellatrix?

chilly veldt
#

other than 1 OS swallowing the other?

glass nest
#

It can be a pain in the neck, not great for doing hacky stuff but to have 2 Os's if you wanna learn one

#

Yeah, other than that

devout palm
#

I'd recommend setting up a VM

chilly veldt
#

making sure that the partitions is made properly, having to have downtime between switching OS, having to deal with them not booting properly if you accidentally uses the wrong boot manager cause that's a different way of booting and your encrypted drive doesn't like that, easier to have a full harddisk cause both systems take up a lot of space

glass nest
#

Ok ok ok, granted 😄

chilly veldt
#

yes you might save on all other resources, but the harddisk will be suffering 😄

Hello, can anyone explain me Diffie-Hellman? There is a and b and g and n. We are mixing a and g and b and g, making ag and bg and making finally two abgs. But I do not understand why Man-In-The-Middle attaks don't work here. Man in the middle can get g and ag and bg, so what is the problem with (ofc in simple words) making ag/g=a etc?

jagged moon
#

It's not multiplication

#

So with proper values chosen, it's tough to compute

#

Googled quick. By a glance this article explains well

Why with proper values it takes forever to calculate

# fiery ferry I'ts 300$ :S

it was the first certication i got. Very useful tbh. If you are going for resume , CCNA is a very starting point , so less relevant than you think. But if you want to go for a pentesting - SOC path i think its almost fundamental

Hey Fluff 👋

I need to learn the basics

hardy mica
# mossy river Very useful in what regard?

Pro : It teachs you the fundamental network basis (that you'll always use)
Cons : The 50% of the certification is about configurate Cisco Device , and this is good for compriancion , but not for practical skills

indeed if you don't work in a Cisco devices company , its useless on that kind of aspect

the handshake has 4 steps and a lot of details and data is shared in this handshake. The problem that confuses some guys is that we don’t even share the hash of password there than how comes it that we can bruteforce it. The reality is indirectly you provide a kind of hash of password. What i mean is things go like this there is a pre-shared key or say a password. What actually happens is some details are used which convert this PSK into another key (Pairwise Master Key) using some details. Than that another key (Pairwise Master Key) is again converted into yet another key (Pairwise Transient Key) using some details. Now this key (Pairwise Transient Ke) is actually concatenation or say collection of 5 different keys. One of these 5 keys is KCK (Key Confirmation Key) which computes a code MIC. Now what you get from handshake is this MIC and the details which were needed to make the keys. So this is all what you needed."""

my question is, is there still a possibility for a very professional person to get the password without BruteForce, just by analyzing and collecting information?

Let's take, for example, that you, as experts in this matter, can any of you, by giving him the time he wants, be able to decrypt the hash.

hardy mica
#

anyway there are surely some attacks that can be used to get the original password. Reverse engeneering ones

#

for sure there are higher skills than my pocket

#

Surely it will require tons and tons of time

Looking at takeout and just saw a burger with chips inside it. Never seen that before🤣

hardy mica
# rapid merlin Of Course

so yeah , the answer is yes . A very expert person can possibly get the original password without BruteForce just collecting informations during handshake

#

but idk how much time it requires in real

rapid merlin
hardy mica
#

but this is the surface

#

then you should start analyzing the hashes with the rainbow tables

#

i mean , idk how much time this can require in reality

You don't have to. But why not

rapid merlin
# hardy mica well its a very articulated and unusual question 😂

Well, I spoke to people who are somewhat competent in this, and they all told me that this is not possible. I also asked this question months ago on the Hashcat server Discord and Airgeddon server Discord, but they told me in short that this is not possible, but impossible.

hardy mica
#

so they are not wrong at all

#

they mostly answered you like that to be short

But I ask about whether this is possible or not, I mean is this impossible? If this were possible, the answer should be yes in short form.

chilly veldt
# hardy mica https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/logic

what you're saying is chances, chances are calculated with numbers which is scientific, but when you bring in logic, you're over in talking about probability, which is a logical concept, so you would want to say "the probability of someone having a one letter password is low" cause that's taking on the logical thinking of a person, the same with odds, but chances reflect actual numbers.

again, please read up on what you're talking about

And then you can get the chance of cracking a pw depending on length with that speed

Hi Everyone, I am trying to work on a Forensic CTF which is a image of USB. Now after getting inside that bin there is a .DAT file which I have tried to open with multiple tools like reg explorer, Converting the file to video with VLC, renaming it to diferrent externsions like xls, pdf etc but nothing works out. Has someone here worked with a .DAT file and can give me a direction. I am kinda hitting the wall now by trying these methods. I opened the file with a text editor too which gave me random text. Only readable text was BUILD <Date> <Time> Thanks
