general

[naive violet]

For a handful of reasons.
Firstly, this field is all about independent research and reading.
Secondly, explanations have prerequisite knowledge - you need the basics first
Thirdly, it usually comes across as demands which people find impolite
@rapid merlin

[rapid merlin]

from where i start my research ?

[naive violet]

When you ask questions that hint at illegal activity, like eavesdropping, people will ask what your motives are

[rapid merlin]

hacking is illegal too as ik

[wooden totem]

ethical hacking in question

[rapid merlin]

every term in cybersecurity is not legal

[chilly veldt]

yeah, but the autism diagnose will not help

[wooden totem]

oh lol, thought it was something treatable. It still might help knowing more info if there is

[rapid merlin]

i read books of any others mostly from oracle , packtt . THEy tell us that the book is that part of information that provide certain guildines to reach out goal ...

[chilly veldt]

autism and adhd isn't treatable

it's managable

[naive violet]

No, it's not. Ethical hacking, with the proper legal signoffs, is not illegal.

This discord only allows discussion of legal and ethical hacking

[wooden totem]

and makes sure its for ethical purposes

[rapid merlin]

so that means i have to find my answer in TOR

[naive violet]

What?

[rapid merlin]

as u mentioned above research is neccessary in this field

[wooden totem]

do you mean like a tor browser. pretty sure google has all the answers and is a lot easier to find

[naive violet]

So you're trying to do something illegal then?

[rapid merlin]

nahh but i want to build a system and idk what to say next to it ..

[wooden totem]

like they are going to say "yes of course, mr moderator, I am trying to do something illegal right now"

[naive violet]

Please don't get involved.

[naive violet]

Huh? What do you mean?

[rapid merlin]

have u seen IRON man ??

movie

[naive violet]

Yes, I've seen the Marvel movie Iron Man with Robert Downey Jr playing the lead character

I thought it was an excellent action movie

[rapid merlin]

good do u still remember the "Arc reactor " and " the photoelectric screen "

[naive violet]

Sure

[rapid merlin]

and their dumbest cleaning machine

i want to make all that true

[chilly veldt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI6VA8ZNL-0

already done

[rapid merlin]

its not portable

lmao

[chilly veldt]

it is

[rapid merlin]

nahh

[naive violet]

Ok so you need to learn physics and electronics rather than hacking tbh

[chilly veldt]

have you seen the video?

lmao

[rapid merlin]

bro u will die when u think what i thinks of my day

[chilly veldt]

[naive violet]

I have no idea what you mean by that

[grizzled crystal]

imo getting an autism diagnosis is a bit of a two-sided knife (or whatever the phrase is, i forget) - on one hand, potential systemic support in terms of accommodations and whatnot, on the other it'll be a point of discrimination and ableism, since it's on paper. I don't think they're able to force it if you don't want to get diagnosed

an adhd diagnosis is nice because you can get meds

[chilly veldt]

yup, adhd diagnosis has really low downsides

[grizzled crystal]

people also tend to have less preconceptions about adhd

[chilly veldt]

and I have already high functioning autism and good self accommodations, with low discrimination and ableism

[rapid merlin]

select which one is best for me

Hey how’s everyone today

[grizzled crystal]

only you can figure that one out

[naive violet]

Why are we the right people to make that choice?

[rapid merlin]

u seems cool

mostly are

[lavish yoke]

zoo keeper

[grizzled crystal]

cool, in that case I'd avoid getting autism officially diagnosed

[chilly veldt]

yeahhh, that's what I was thinking too

but I do want ritalin

[grizzled crystal]

For sure. Does ritalin help? My friend has some bad experiences with it, says it makes him feel like a zombie. Its an individual thing tho

[chilly veldt]

I haven't tried

but right now I use caffeine and nicotine instead

[grizzled crystal]

ah okay

[wooden totem]

isnt that for add

[grizzled crystal]

it is

bella is talking about getting an adhd diagnosis as opposed to an audhd (autism + adhd) diagnosis

[devout palm]

I'm defo not the one who can give advices on ADHD

[rapid merlin]

SEE you later my friends , i hope we will meet again when i became powerful like u

[devout palm]

You are powerful

[rapid merlin]

i dont have power rn but when i will be back i will prove myself whoiam and what makes me special

[devout palm]

Prove? You don't have to prove anything

[rapid merlin]

tyy

[wooden totem]

whoami reference

[devout palm]

And by the way, my suggestion is to stay away from illegal and unethical activities. That has nothing to do with with power or knowledge. Draw your line and do not cross it. Otherwise you will have to face the consequences.

Just a friendly reminder

[rapid merlin]

So ratilin is a medicine for autism but helps keep someone wired?

[grizzled crystal]

Ritalin helps with ADHD

[rapid merlin]

Oh

And sorry for jumping into the conversation just thought it was an interesting conversation

[devout palm]

Any scientific article about it?

[grizzled crystal]

Many. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK482451/

[hollow wedge]

Would like to have one too

Thanks

[devout palm]

This might be the one that my brother had.

[viscid chasm]

Assalamu alaikum

how are you folks

Good, how about you?

[rapid merlin]

Final ranked up!

[rapid merlin]

[viscid chasm]

assalamu alaikum = السلام عليكم = Peace be upon you

[viscid chasm]

[devout palm]

Basically a greeting

[boreal scarab]

Real life

If you can get into Utah this year lol

[nocturne horizon]

this might be a silly question, but im trying to use burpsuite to intercept a response from a certain js file so i can edit it (client side filtering), im getting a response from the js file im looking for but none of the js is actually showing, how do i get the js to show?

[quartz fog]

Toggle Intercept On, When the js request comes in, right click and select to also Intercept the Response. Then you can edit

[nocturne horizon]

im already getting the response

but the response is just headers

theres no actual js

[viscid chasm]

yes i am just explaining what it means

[rapid merlin]

Walikum Salam!

[viscid chasm]

Yo Simon

Are you muslim?

[rapid merlin]

xd im not that good at Arabic

Is it Arabic?

[quartz fog]

You trying to inject js or prevent js from being executed ? If injected that is when you would do so. If preventing, just comment out the parts before forward

[rapid merlin]

Yes

[viscid chasm]

arabic word , english letters

[rapid merlin]

Yes?!

[viscid chasm]

Cool

[gray sonnet]

👀

[viscid chasm]

i am muslim too

[nocturne horizon]

can i dm you with screenshots

might explain the issue better

[mossy river]

It’s so cold 🫣

[quartz fog]

no need to pm, but, #room-help may be better

[rapid merlin]

Hey!

aye

[nocturne horizon]

cant upload files there

[quartz fog]

oh, ok fine, pm 😛

[viscid chasm]

can someone explain to me the difference between computer science and cyber security , and what is ethical hacking (how does it work, what should i know/have [languages , tool] to start hacking)

in dms

[mossy river]

Cybersecurity is more of a part of computer science.

Computer science is just the science behind computers and cybersecurity more specifically focuses on the techniques to make a system or application more secure.

When studying computer science, you will learn how to secure computers naturally and most of it will just be built into your habits

To get started in cybersecurity, check out TryHackMe https://tryhackme.com

[viscid chasm]

so it looks like as if you are telling me to choose C.S. in uni

[mossy river]

I would say so, yes. It opens more doors 🙂

[viscid chasm]

great thank you Mr.Jared

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @mossy river (current: #6 - 1246)

[viscid chasm]

Mr.Jared what laptop minimal specification you recommend for coding - designing etc.

[quartz fog]

Coding doesn't really have very high hardware requirements

A Raspberry Pi could do it

[mossy river]

I would probably invest in a good laptop that would last you for all of your studies

I don’t have a particular specification in mind though

[viscid chasm]

after a long search(took around 30 minutes) i decided to take Asus Zephyrus G14 i found one for 900$ ( not cheap but i liked this lap)

[warm bear]

Hiiiii

[viscid chasm]

Heyyyyyy

[rapid merlin]

Damn, normally its something like 2k

So thats a good one

4070

And strong CPU

[viscid chasm]

no it comes with weaker gpu

[rapid merlin]

ah alright

[viscid chasm]

a gtx 1660 i remember

but is it still a nice laptop

[rapid merlin]

Yeah true

Wont run the heaviest games on high fps, but for other things its a good one

[viscid chasm]

pray for me to pass this school year with a good grade

[livid nexus]

Tf Is this copilot junk on windows

[viscid chasm]

man i really need this laptop

[sick lance]

GPU isn't essential unless you plan to use hashcat for better hash cracking.

Or if gaming is what you're in to.

[rapid merlin]

Yeah, but when cracking with rockyou you wont notice much difference...

[livid nexus]

Can I disable it and never be on my pc

[viscid chasm]

i don't play games , and IF i would , i prefer light weight games , like 2d games (deltarune , undertale ) or old shooter games like (I.G.I.)

[rapid merlin]

Im sure people will find ways to break it out their windows

[rapid merlin]

Then 1660 is good enough

[viscid chasm]

No , and no

[livid nexus]

What can I do about in the news that copilot is spyware I'm nervous

[viscid chasm]

does it work well for graphic designing and video editing ?

[livid nexus]

How can I delete this shit

[rapid merlin]

Its kind of spyware yeah

[sick lance]

You're worried co-pilot is spyware in Windows?

Windows... ?

[livid nexus]

Yea

[rapid merlin]

It isnt spyware, but it can see all your actions iirc

[sick lance]

Probably use gpedit.

[rapid merlin]

Arent there guides to get it out?

[sick lance]

Most stuff I remove from Windows is done via group policy.

[livid nexus]

I disable copilot Don't use it that's it

[sick lance]

I'd be more surprised if there isn't.

[rapid merlin]

[viscid chasm]

@rapid merlin thanks for helping me dude 🙂

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @icy epoch (current: #167 - 38)

[chilly veldt]

no no, code runs

it just doesn't connect to wifi

[livid nexus]

Well I have Done that copilot is gone forever gone

[rapid merlin]

Nice

[chilly veldt]

fuck it, I am calling it a day

[warm bear]

[wraith fjord]

yessir, learnt how to communciate with a POP3 🙂

[sage flame]

does anyone use JSON Web Tokens extension in burp? its description mentions the ability to run automated attacks but i can't see any functionality for this

yes check your IPv4 settings on the correct adapter

https://www.hellotech.com/guide/for/how-to-change-dns-server-windows-mac#:~:text=Windows 10 PC.-,How to Change Your DNS Server on a Windows 10,the following DNS server address.

[livid nexus]

Since copilot is no more on my pc no more bs from it

[sage flame]

no it sets it permanently for that adapter until you change it

[chilly veldt]

Isn't that a pro function as well?

[sage flame]

idk but i use pro

[chilly veldt]

Or am I just not fully into what burp can

[chilly veldt]

Yeah, never had burp pro, but I think it's an added function to their automated stuff in pro

[sage flame]

🤔

i'll check logs for an active scan and see

[chilly veldt]

Not sure

[rapid merlin]

u are a forencis student can u help me

[worn thorn]

check the data usage in settings

[sage flame]

oh i found it it's in the repeater request 🤦‍♂️

[worn thorn]

it can show you what app uses how much

[rapid merlin]

bro its like 1.0 mpbs going out

[chilly veldt]

It happens

Speed does not equal something is using it

[rapid merlin]

nothing is showing in my android app usage

[worn thorn]

Network usage

[rapid merlin]

i dont have mobile network its on wifi

[worn thorn]

if its constantly using 1mbps it will show up pretty quick.

[rapid merlin]

yeah

let me send u a ss

[worn thorn]

no

[rapid merlin]

there is no option to send ss

[worn thorn]

searched for some possible ways to check network traffic before?

[rapid merlin]

like there is no updating of apps

[timid prism]

airplane mode ezpz

[sick lance]

Why do you keep leaving then re-joining?

[rapid merlin]

because it makes me feel better i came back becuase my phone idk got hacked or not

[sick lance]

Only student.

[sick lance]

Nobody is going to hack your phone....

Unless you're in a really high up position.

[rapid merlin]

my network traffic is too high

As long as you dont download malicious stuff...

idk why

if i have how to detect in android

[loud marlin]

might he have looot's of cat pictures

[livid nexus]

What can you do when you get to a super advanced level In python like anything

[worn thorn]

I'd rather get cat bombed than fork bombed

[loud marlin]

whatever you wish

[pine stratus]

guys can i use two monitors from only central unit ?

for different tasks

[rapid merlin]

pid is not showing much about any stuff

[worn thorn]

you can connect both monitors to your graphics card given they have the same port and have enough of them.

[rapid merlin]

Declare "only central unit"

[pliant cairn]

im trying to exactly pin point a specific header on ghidra. am i looking at a wrong place?

[rapid merlin]

anyone please help

[loud marlin]

can you explain more ?

[loud marlin]

oh that ghidra...

[pliant cairn]

yup haha

[loud marlin]

that idk

[rapid merlin]

Dont worry only because your phone uses some internet

for what

[loud marlin]

you phone use internet all the time. in extra small amounts

[pliant cairn]

nice funny name btw

[loud marlin]

if is in idlle state ofc

[rapid merlin]

i deleted all my apps its still like that

Could be default behaviour

Dont worry

If ur really do, reset ur phone

[pine stratus]

can i connect two different monitors to a single computer, and each monitor can display a separate task or window. For example, i might have one monitor for my email client and another for my word processing software.

[rapid merlin]

Yeah thats possible

[pliant cairn]

what are you trying to do?

[rapid merlin]

idkk

still need help

reset my phone rn

If you got enough HDMI / DisplayPort ports

[loud marlin]

there is background services that constantly ping certein IP and so things.

[pliant cairn]

if you got 2 display adapters i guess. i only have one which is use

[loud marlin]

when you get some msg or some notification, the phone need to cehck for it so you can get it

[rapid merlin]

any apps to find which packages they are

[loud marlin]

if you are paranoid. do factory reset

buy/get VPN. not free one ofc

[rapid merlin]

can anyone help me in pprivtely

[loud marlin]

do factory reset, get vpn, font put private things on phone. dont install stupid apps and craps

[pliant cairn]

is it part of a critical service? unauthorized? do some analysis perform malwarebytes scan. If you still not sure, connect to a network and setup a firewall rule to deny the connection. See if you find any details on that IP with shodan and raise a ticket with your phone service providers. This is the max i can think of 🙂

[pine stratus]

If something is free , u are the product

[crude stump]

Usually “free” stuff is not free

You still have to pay for extra services

[sick lance]

Which are optional.

[loud marlin]

and none will use some special 0day/exploit or whatever on you. if you are not some special person

[pliant cairn]

thats upto the adversary tbh haha

[sick lance]

Nah, nobody is going to burn a 0day on a random.

nobody.

[loud marlin]

true yea. just us, normal mortals, are not so interested to some use something unknown

[uncut cove]

30% through offensive pentesting, so far Alfred was the most difficult one

[crude stump]

They cost hella money

Not that I know. Just read books on em

[loud marlin]

if some use smth like that on me ill be felling special ❤️

[pliant cairn]

tru and if they do they are quite rich to do that

[crude stump]

Prolly won’t even know they did ralex

[uncut cove]

perhaps it makes sense to change privilege esc part there to web_delivery module

[pliant cairn]

there is a lot more coming your way then. stay put have fun

[loud marlin]

yea. so small amount of rnd data is no point to get scared

set own AP, connect and monitor... if you have that kind of paranoid mind

[crude stump]

What does ap mean

[loud marlin]

access point

[crude stump]

Oh yes

[pliant cairn]

also, if anyone happen to have completed malbuster room please do help me on this
#room-hints message

[crude stump]

That’s the thing that I kinda hate about abbreviations

[pine stratus]

they are experienced , tired from writing all the term

[sick lance]

Please don't do this, wait patiently.

[rapid merlin]

i deleted all apps its still taking at that spped

[wraith fjord]

you got some nice wifi

[loud marlin]

what speed ?

[rapid merlin]

700-800kpbs

[loud marlin]

what amont of data you get in 1 min or so

700-800 kpbs is nothing

[rapid merlin]

now 1 mpbs

[static bolt]

is it chinese phone?

[rapid merlin]

yeah

[static bolt]

normal, I guess

[loud marlin]

what phone ?

[worn thorn]

[wraith fjord]

i mean you are connected to discord aren't you? Communicating with humans worldwide

[rapid merlin]

[rapid merlin]

its on pc

[worn thorn]

mostly humans

[wraith fjord]

or AI

[wraith fjord]

ofc i mean i am a potato

[worn thorn]

I'm goose

[wraith fjord]

its normal

[pine stratus]

[rapid merlin]

if the phone is hacked what are the possible sign that i can denote

[wraith fjord]

[crude stump]

Ding ding ding

[loud marlin]

take your sim card, put in another phone and monitor then

[rapid merlin]

can u tell me the command to monitor its resources

[static bolt]

May NOT be true? 🙂 Chinese companies are spying more than american ones. It's not just one article, it's pretty much a commonly known fact

[pine stratus]

both are spyin

[outer rivet]

Damn I wish

Imagine having all this certs

[worn thorn]

Certified Certificate holder

[wraith fjord]

C-CEH

[pine stratus]

both are spyin but American media is stronger

[rapid merlin]

american are cool in spying

[static bolt]

American spying is more limited due to at least some privacy laws: CCPA/CPRA, HIPAA, some companies have to even follow GDPR. Though I don't agree with "EU-US adequacy decision"

[wooden totem]

bro...
I'm trying to make a new microsoft account with my latest email and it tells me this email is already being used, I then try to sign in with that email and it tells me this account doesn't exist

[rapid merlin]

i am in adb shell rn

[worn thorn]

we're not your live support

[pine stratus]

honestly , i have trust issues , bc when its abt the government i think they don't follow any privacy law ..

[worn thorn]

nor a llm

[rapid merlin]

tbh if the community doesnt able to help others that means they are not a community

[wraith fjord]

if (error_1):
return error_2
return "Doesnt exist"

[rapid merlin]

its a funn place

[loud marlin]

or you just tripping to much

here is me with google pixel 8 and not making issues if i being spied or not

[static bolt]

Well, Europe pretty much do enforce GDPR with fines. Although being sensitive about your privacy is essential nowadays. However, I could trust european companies with my data more than american.

some paranoia is healthy but that is pretty excessive

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good desk chair? Looking for one that has good support and is great for long periods of sitting

My current one is broken :/

[wooden totem]

razer if you dont mind spending 400

[mossy river]

Gaming chairs aren’t really that great for you tbh

[worn thorn]

secret lab from what I've heard are good.

[wooden totem]

adjustable for long periods

[sick lance]

Hydra suggested a good one to me awhile back, I didn't get it, I ended up getting a gaming chair cause I needed one that day

[pine stratus]

posture corrector is mandatory with the chair u will buy

[rapid merlin]

Depends. Some are great ergonomic, and some are only "cosmetic" better

[wooden totem]

i saw that logitech made some ergonomic ones

[rapid merlin]

But the best chairs are not gaming chairs, no

[mossy river]

Hey, this is illegal and against our community rules #rules

[tepid dirge]

I HAVE AND EMAIL FROM THE PERSON I HAVE ALREADY TRIED TO USE A PROGRAM SO GOOGLE PROTECTION IS NOT ALLOWING ME TO ACCESS EMAIL FROM THAT PERSON

[mossy river]

You need to contact the email service for support

[worn thorn]

[pine stratus]

why all caps

[wooden totem]

(they havent discovered the all caps key after pressing it accidentally)

[tepid dirge]

SORRY

[lavish yoke]

so all people can hear his message

obviously

[wooden totem]

its on the left side, its called "all-caps" or just "caps" on some keyboards

[tepid dirge]

I'M TRYING TO SEE YOU HELP NO MORE SORRY FOR SAYING SOMETHING OUTSIDE THE DISCORD RULES

[tepid dirge]

ok

I was just wanting to retrieve something from an email that is in that person's email

[livid nexus]

Wait is cyber security just Data science

[worn thorn]

some part of it

[lavish yoke]

that's like saying pizza is just bread

[wooden totem]

I had this conversation with the local Italian last time, we've come to a conclusion that altered bread can be pizza

[tepid dirge]

Unfortunately, I don't know how this person managed to access my email, managed to get what I wanted inside it, and then manage to change my email password.

[livid nexus]

So cyber security Is programming, Data science,networking and more?

Herman Miller?

[frail briar]

Those chairs are very expensive

[clear jackal]

Yes, Aeron or Embody

[loud marlin]

one thing i learn on hard way. the gaming chairs are not good for desk work, and before buy is extra smart do go and try some chairs. don't buy without try it in some selling place or smth

[wooden totem]

@tepid dirge step by step instructions on that site, easy to understand

[clear jackal]

Your height will dictate chair size

Hmm

I’ve researched Secret Lab so far

It’s just so much money 🫣

[wooden totem]

did someone mention Money 🤑 💰 💵

[clear jackal]

Yeah, good chairs are expensive but last a long time. I bought mine used for $300 and it's been great

[worn thorn]

I'd get a secret lab chair but I can't be asked to spend that much money.

[mossy river]

It’s not that I can’t afford it, it’s just that I don’t want to spend half a bag on a chair tbh

[tepid dirge]

The only person who entered my email was able to access the investment account and was logged in with my email. I just try to enter the website. I can't because it's in the other person's email.

[worn thorn]

Simple office chair works for me.

[wooden totem]

I still have a $200 one after 4 years, its decent

@mossy river i get this one cos i like it... regret it...

Good luck!

[chilly veldt]

Thanks

[rapid merlin]

Like your practical exam?

or theoretical?

[chilly veldt]

Practical

Passed my theoretical

[rapid merlin]

[chilly veldt]

Yup

[chilly veldt]

All my driver's tests I have passed first try

[rapid merlin]

Did you do different ones?

[chilly veldt]

This is for motorcycle, already have my car licence

[rapid merlin]

Aahhh

Mmm motorcycle. How many cc kan you do?

That differs right?

[chilly veldt]

Yup

This is 500cc

[rapid merlin]

Ahh

How many are there? 3 different ones?

One for max 125 cc, one for 500 and one ulimited?

iirc

[chilly veldt]

Yup

[wooden totem]

i have no idea what cc is, is that fuel volume or something

[rapid merlin]

Uh I think Bella can explain better than me

[chilly veldt]

Motor size

[whole yew]

engine displacement in cubic centimeters

[balmy badge]

It’s how powerful the engine is

Idk bikes tho

[chilly veldt]

I am getting a 750 and drozzling it down to 500

[whole yew]

it's not a measure of engine power, directly. It's a measure of how much the volume all the cylinders displace during operation

But I’m getting into VMs so I can use all of the OSs

Coz I don’t wtf I’m doing

[loud marlin]

thedn yea... VM is great start

[balmy badge]

And I don’t use it often enough to remember the CLI codes

[loud marlin]

[balmy badge]

Ye

I just only use Linux every couple of months for school, so I’ve used it sparingly enough to forget everything every time

I just don’t know the theory behind some of the stuff

That’s why I struggle

Remembering isn’t the problem, it’s what and why that does something is

[blazing granite]

cli is faster, I always have a term open

[livid nexus]

What is white petiole in phyton I have that in My course

[blazing granite]

it's not that Linux is not user-friendly, just pick its friends more carefully 😉

[balmy badge]

im growing sick and tired of the horrendous speed on a vm

is it time for a dual boot

everyone tells me its not worth it

[blazing granite]

kali?

[hardy orchid]

kali is bearable but still slow

ubuntu

for some reason ubuntu is just heavier i dont klnow why

[mint palm]

Maybe you don’t allocate enough resources to the machine?

[hardy orchid]

i have 8gb ram on both and 4 cors

wondering about going up to 6 cores

[blazing granite]

what are the specs of your physical machine?

[hardy orchid]

https://tenor.com/view/girls-kissing-tired-cat-tired-cat-gif-3943232585613196517

[loud marlin]

kali not need 4 cores. 2x is fine and 3gb ram. for regular usage and learnning

[hardy orchid]

thats what i figured out from the settings, but 2-3gb ram was too slow

[sand trench]

OOF

[mint palm]

What’s the clock speed of your RAM?

[loud marlin]

virtualbox or VM

[sand trench]

shadows gtk theme just broke

[blazing granite]

I was about to say that I have kali with 2 core and 4gb and it's fine

[boreal scarab]

It's like finding a needle in a fucking haystack. I have the parameters to look for, bur it's such a massive radius that it'll take me awhile.

did you install guest addition thing/plugin for VM

[mint palm]

Hmm, that should be enough. I ran VM’s on worse hardware and never had any issues

[hardy orchid]

nope

[loud marlin]

do it

[boreal scarab]

So far, this what I found:

Sand
SAND
AND. MORE FUCKING SAND!

[hardy orchid]

ubuntu actually keeps crashing now

[crude stump]

Crazy

[wooden totem]

You need a jar of dirt

[crude stump]

Imagine not having a 0 streak

[hardy orchid]

now when i launch it it crashes 5 secs after logging in

[boreal scarab]

Tell this state it needs it

[hardy orchid]

forgot to mention that

[loud marlin]

what is you main PC spec ?

[blazing granite]

if you don't find sand in an effing desert, you probably in Antartica 😂

[hardy orchid]

main?

[boreal scarab]

But, TIL, Google maps has a measure feature.

[loud marlin]

hosty pc. what is spec of pc you have

[hardy orchid]

just specs?

already sent them here

[loud marlin]

cpu, ram, gpu

[hardy orchid]

rtx3060 16gbram amd r5 5600 6 cores 3200 mhz ram

12gb gpu mem

[loud marlin]

can you take pic of spec that you give to that ubuntu

in vm ofc

[hardy orchid]

ok wait

[blazing granite]

maybe the issue is other, I've been using Linux for a while and I can count with one hand the time that my Linux crashed

[hardy orchid]

i think its an issue with the vm or maybe its corrupted, when i click next after logging in the vm immediately crashes

[loud marlin]

how much of video memory you give it?

[blazing granite]

do you have a snapshot? just delete the vm and use the snapshot

[hardy orchid]

dont have an option liek that on vmware 17

only the ones i sent you

[sand trench]

https://github.com/catppuccin/gtk/issues/258

[hardy orchid]

woah

now it doesnt even want to launch

one thing goes wrong after another

[loud marlin]

must be somewhere in dysplay thing

[hardy orchid]

oh

maximum 8 gb

[loud marlin]

video memory?

[hardy orchid]

graphics memory

[sick lance]

Reboot the computer

[blazing granite]

if you're using kali you don't really need 3d acceleration and too much video memory, just leave the default settings

use pro now that it's free

[blazing granite]

check #room-help

[sick lance]

Workstation player and fusion player are no longer supported.

[hardy orchid]

im back

[blazing granite]

I didn't know I use qemu/kvm

[loud marlin]

you can't give big amount of resources to VM. you will starve main/host PC of resources needed to process things that comes from VM.

[hardy orchid]

well the error got fixed but it still crashes

[sick lance]

Does it crash, or a black screen?

[blazing granite]

different error is progress 😂

[hardy orchid]

black screen which freezes the entire vm

immediately after logging in

[loud marlin]

fresh install

[hardy orchid]

well im dedicating the same amount to kali and kali works just fine

[loud marlin]

if no special data are there

[hardy orchid]

yea might be the only solution

[sick lance]

Which VM is black screening?

[hardy orchid]

ubuntu

both ubuntu and kali VM have the same amount of resources dedicated to them, however ubuntu keeps doing the thing i mentioned and kali works just fine

[sick lance]

What does Ctrl + Alt + F1 do?

[hardy orchid]

turns on geforce experience

cant tell you what it does on ubuntu doesnt wanna launch

[sick lance]

Inside the VM.

[wooden totem]

switch to the first virtual console or GUI

[sick lance]

I know what it does, I was asking them what does it to to THEIR vm.

Holy moly.

[wooden totem]

lol

[blazing granite]

it takes you to tty1 🙂

[sick lance]

-.-

[hardy orchid]

on kali vm does that

on ubuntu no response

think ill just reinstall, thanks for the help

[peak pier]

Should I dual boot my windows with Kali aur VM is fine. It's very slow as vm

[hardy orchid]

Haha how ironic

The discussion that just ended began again about the very same topic

[sick lance]

I wouldn't suggest dual booting these days.

[loud marlin]

i bet some need make some guide for doing VM

[sick lance]

But if you're stuck for resources, it could be the better option.

[peak pier]

Why these days

[blazing granite]

after you make a fresh install and everything is working take a snapshot, that mean that if you run into troubles again, you don't need to reinstall everything just delete the vm and use the snapshot 🙂

[sick lance]

Vm is more conveniant.

[hardy orchid]

understood

[loud marlin]

and install guest addition tools thing for vm

[hardy orchid]

yes sir

[peak pier]

But does not lets you use your wifi card and etc and gives less performance

[loud marlin]

you can set separate USB card

[peak pier]

How would I know if my inbuilt wifi card supports monitor mode and packet injection

[peak pier]

What do you mean

[sick lance]

It does?

and it will only perform as good as the resources given.

[buoyant tree]

hullo

[balmy badge]

Is VMware gonna die coz of Broadcom?

[sick lance]

Why would it die?

[hardy orchid]

ur partinioning alot of your disk size + ur doubling your attack surface

whatever happens in the vm stays in the vm

[loud marlin]

you can plug usb card, external, and connect to VM and use it

and what wifi card you have? the internal one ?

[peak pier]

Yup

[buoyant tree]

But they've changed from lifetime license to annual subscription for commercial use

[sick lance]

They're giving pro for free.

[balmy badge]

Ah

I didn’t know

Reddit made it seem like no one’s gonna pay for it and Broadcom is running it to the ground like every other company they’ve taken over apperantly

[red forge]

Yeah the company I work for are going with proxmox now because of the increased price.

[sick lance]

Nah, NASA is easy 😉 gotta try for the TLAs

Disclaimer: please don't actually try to hack a TLA

They all have a private dataset of something like metasploit which has devised a exploit for every system in the world and when you grab the banners you get what exact exploit to use

[rapid merlin]

hey guys. need some help here. i tried my best. but seems like i give up.

installed fresh and new for the 16th time kali linux on my ssd. works nicw and cool.
then installed nvidia driver : sudo apt install nvidia-driver -y
its changes the kernal.
reboots.
grub menu comes and then a black screen which never go away.

what i have tried already:
nvidia forum solutions
youtube
chatgpt
etc. i cant remember others 🙂

fun fact
if i edit on the grub. the linux line at the second last from quiet splash to just quiet its works just fine.

then i edited the grub from /rtc/default/grub
sudo update-grub.

but didnt make the change. I dont know why but if i check the splash word dont go.

can you guys please take me out of this frustrating hole. i will really appreciate it.

[loud marlin]

linux and nvidia are quite issue to set

and tbh not sure that you need nvidia for kali. aside if you don'tthink to use gpu for some force cracking or so

[bitter vector]

[rapid merlin]

Sort of a round-about idea, but have you considered running Kali out of a VM? I've heard PopOS has good nvidia support.

You could run Kali on a VM on PopOS

i just love kali. so installed directly if i wanted i could just use it from window and in vmware

but wanted to use full.

any help please 🥺

[loud marlin]

v8. this kali you talk of. is in VM or ?

[rapid merlin]

Wish I could be of more help, I have an AMD card, so I don't have much experience with nvidia drivers.

[rapid merlin]

on direct ssd

not duel boot

[loud marlin]

did you try download drivers and install directly?

[rapid merlin]

tried manualy and closed source like in command line

but seems driver installed fine

i am thinking if could just make that quiet splash to just quiet. it could solve the problem. but editing and updating grub not working to remove the splash word

[loud marlin]

there is also tht grub header smthing extra that needs to be installed withnvidia

[rapid merlin]

whatsre talking about. i just followed the official guide of kali doc

[loud marlin]

idk. i never install nvidia for kali. i had issues with ubuntu and nvidia. but in latest kernel was fixed

[boreal scarab]

@slender scaffold https://youtube.com/shorts/nUsi9XFHR4s?si=82YFKRhQ3srWi4q_

Kitty!

[bitter quiver]

Even following official guides, linux can always have issues

[slender scaffold]

Kittyyyyy!!! \o/

[rapid merlin]

cant it be solved?

am i loosing

[bitter quiver]

Probably a solution for sure

But you generally have to search longer for it compared to windows/ios issues that are generally well regulated adn documented.

Freedom has it's price

[rapid merlin]

.

can this be happen

just mking the splash word gone

[loud marlin]

as i said. linux and nvidia are issues in general

[slender scaffold]

Three day weekend was so very needed

[loud marlin]

and tbg why you need nvidia in kali?

[rapid merlin]

are you guys getting where am i pointing

[buoyant tree]

was it really?

[bitter quiver]

Part of the issue is, a lot of it really requires hands on diagnosing if it hasn't been dealt with directly by someoen before

[slender scaffold]

What to do todaaaayyyyy ok study

[bitter quiver]

Conquer the world?

[slender scaffold]

I don’t wanna conquer something that’s already set on self destruction

about what

[loud marlin]

waht was that cert that you take? iirc you talked of it ?

[slender scaffold]

hmm... it might be someone else... mea culpa

[slender scaffold]

But it won’t help me in what I wanna do.. not really. I don’t want to be a pentester.

[crude stump]

[bitter quiver]

I wanna get paid to drink and know things

What role is that?

[crude stump]

Beer tester

For a major beer company

[slender scaffold]

I wanna investigate things :3

[crude stump]

Oh cool

[bitter quiver]

Forensic data investigation?

Fun stuff. I had to do that kind of once for a church whose pastor had been recently pre-occupied with a decans daughter.

PC was "wiped"

Found images to send to the main church for the wife lol

[whole yew]

That sounds like something you shoudl have immediately turned over to the police or possibly FBI.

[bitter quiver]

Oh no she was of age

[whole yew]

Novices involved in that can ruin an investigation.

[bitter quiver]

I mean like..40 years age difference.

But legal

Just helping out the wife get stuff for the inevitable divorce and to send to the main church thing to have his credentials revoked

Would not touch the other stuff with a 30ft pole

That's purely FBI

[steady valve]

Was that for like a private investigator thing? Like evidence for divorce court?

It was for her because she was a wonderful human being, but it was to help her with her divorce yes. I'm not a PI, just very tech able. This would have been in like...2009?

Crappy situation that resulted in a lot of issues for that group as you can imagine.

But some justice got done

[buoyant tree]

Oi anybody mind taking a look at this laptop https://www.amazon.com/HP-14-inch-Celeron-Storage-Microsoft/dp/B0CK5H2R9T/
Buying it for a friend

[bitter quiver]

For what purpose?

[buoyant tree]

Actually school & college

[shell nova]

Celerons are a bit weak

[bitter quiver]

Might work for that, but depends on what major.

[shell nova]

sufficient for word/interwebs though

[bitter quiver]

If they need certain software it might be an issue

[buoyant tree]

Medical

[buoyant tree]

he had a chromebook before so that was his issue previously so now am gifting him a new laptop

[sturdy dove]

If anyone is interested in a server addressing topics of homeland security, cyber, international affairs, law, osint, hacking (obviosuly) and much more please dm me. It is filled with many sources and news articles, looking for contributions and have active government recruiters.

That laptop says it runs windows in S mode

Security
S mode only allows apps from the Microsoft Store, which are verified before being made available, and requires Microsoft Edge for browsing. It also prevents users from accessing command-line shells, like PowerShell, Windows Terminal, or the command prompt, and doesn't include the Registry Editor or Group Policy.

[buoyant tree]

oh crap

[bitter quiver]

I'd say nay on it

[buoyant tree]

Yeah

Is it even possible to get a normal laptop now a days for under 200$

even if I go used

[bitter quiver]

That's the laptop you give your granny or a kid lol

[bitter quiver]

Should be for sure

Used would be best

You should be able to find some kinda used Dell or HP, check out FB marketplace and such as well

[buoyant tree]

Looking at amazon warehouse for a few good deals

[bitter quiver]

Just keep in mind that WIndows 10 will no longer be supported come next October

[buoyant tree]

Eh I can't order off FB marketplace because I place order to my cousin's house in the US then it gets smuggled to me when a relative comes to Pakistan

[bitter quiver]

So if it can't be upgraded the laptop will only be good for 16 months?

Ah yeah

[buoyant tree]

so need something reliable to say the least

[bitter quiver]

I keep forgetting where ye be

[buoyant tree]

since when

I thought microsoft was going to support them both simultainously

[crude stump]

You could always use windows 10 on a vm though

[bitter quiver]

I had a giant pop up from my own windows as my PC doesn't meet requirements lol

Then I googled

"Windows 10 will reach end of support on October 14, 2025"

[buoyant tree]

crap

[bitter quiver]

Rough time to be buying anything yeah

[buoyant tree]

even though I use windows 11 primarily I got a lot of people I do tech support for who use windows 10

hope microsoft won't just package in bugs to make people upgrade

[sand trench]

so many problems with windows 11

[bitter quiver]

I'm planning to use it as an excuse to get a new gaming PC next summer

[pearl lagoon]

hi

[pearl lagoon]

oh yeah?

[bitter quiver]

I've made this girl last 10 years

I think I can justify a new one

[pearl lagoon]

lol

[sand trench]

1: requires tpm
2: will force bitlocker encryption which will cause a lot of data loss and problematic recovery of data for none tech savy people
3: windows recall taking screenshots of basically everything including potential sensiteve data

[bitter quiver]

(PC, not the wife)

[pearl lagoon]

what are the specs?

[buoyant tree]

oo lala

crap windows 11 without S mode laptop's are rare

atleast at the pricepoint I am looking at

[sand trench]

if you can buy a computer without any operating systems installed

then have fun installing linux

[bitter quiver]

i7-7700, 32GB ram, Two 1TB SSDs, and a GTX 1080

[buoyant tree]

[pearl lagoon]

Cool

[bitter quiver]

Apparently all of that isn't enough for Win 11 though

I assume it's purely going off CPU architecture?

[crude stump]

Do yall think MacBooks are good for cybersecurity

[sand trench]

could be cpu yeah as do not recall the i7 7700 having built in tpm support

[sand trench]

well some tools will be hard to run but otherwise should be decent

[crude stump]

What in your opinion is the best laptop for that

[sand trench]

best laptop for cybersecurity????

[crude stump]

Yes

[sand trench]

probably any that has good linux support

[crude stump]

I’ve heard Lenovos

[sand trench]

or one that can run windows 11/10 neatly and still have enough resources to handle a virtual machine

well yeah thinkpads are nice

[hot cairn]

One that turns on tbh

you can use anything

[sand trench]

yeah true

any that you can turn on helps

[worn thorn]

framework 🦀

[sand trench]

would love framework if they shipped to sweden

[worn thorn]

couldn't you proxy it through a friend you knew?

[sand trench]

yes but then the keyboard layout is also wrong
