[boreal scarab]

How many bald eagles per gallon does a Harley Davidson get? 🤔🇺🇸

[shut wing]

HD? bleh like 10 if it’s my dads lmao

[crude stump]

In what use case would you need to know binary numbers

[dark grove]

oh not necessary need vm can use physical machine to ssh as well ?

[shut wing]

i mean if your doing low level programming i could see it

also i know it’s taught to us when we learned IP and IPv6

i dreaded that course in networking

[molten sky]

Any nixos ppl around tonight?

[shut wing]

i tried it and liked it

idk if i’ll go back

[blazing granite]

what ever helps you to complete the tasks, it recomend kali VM

[dark grove]

oh why ?

[crude stump]

Can’t mess up your main os

Wrong person

[shut wing]

sorry * oh i see me silly lol *

[molten sky]

idk the first thing about it, but the package manager seems weird. There is a guy that packages a project I maintain for NixOS, and I'm adding it to the docs. would nix-shell -p {pkgname} make sense or is there another NixOS way that should be used, do you think?

[blazing granite]

Kali is better in a VM to keep it isolated

[crude stump]

Yeah prolly

[molten sky]

seems that that method is only temporary but idk what the actual experience is

[dark grove]

can I say if I use my physical machine and I do a dangerous lab it can be crash my machine ?

[crude stump]

Yes

If it has some sort of malware

[shut wing]

i’m not entirely sure i’m sorry, i only played with it a bit and liked how its declarative the pkgs
i switched to rhel and debian since

[blazing granite]

you can do whatever you like because it's your machine, VM is recommend

[molten sky]

it's so much more consistent over on the deb and rpm side lol

[crude stump]

That’s why thm advises you not to take malware samples from there labs

[shut wing]

^

just use a vm it’s also nice to keep things neat

[blazing granite]

Fedora FTW!!! 🙂

[shut wing]

ayyy yea

[crude stump]

May I ask why you want to use your main os?

Just curious

[shut wing]

i will say it’s a little to upstream for me
i’m switching to alma and rocky for my server vms but going to use debian as my base for my workstation

[dark grove]

because I was thinking if I can use my physical machine not necessary to turn on my vm for it

[dark grove]

how about non malware labs probably just soc labs ?

[crude stump]

Tbh you can use whatever you want but there’s always a chance, remember that

[blazing granite]

I used Debian for a long time, but nowadays there is a lot of politics and very outdated software

[crude stump]

Yeah you could download wireshark, snort etc.

[shut wing]

politics ?
i must of been good avoiding that in the community lol

[crude stump]

Sysinternals is very good for endpoint security

[blazing granite]

How long have been using Linux?

[shut wing]

honestly 3-4 years here and there. i played with ubuntu when i was like 7 lol (jerk father did IT so bleed onto me) then again i been in and out of the hospital for most of 2 yrs for when i been using it frequently

so i mostly stuck to myself and a notebook when studying lol

[chilly stratus]

Please who knows the answer to the tryhackme fakebank task.....mine won't allow me login to the admin to finish up the task

[blazing granite]

so not a lot, I've tried a lot of distros and a few Unixs too

[blazing granite]

#room-help

[shut wing]

yea not much
i finally settled down on the distro hopping

i mostly stick with rhel, debian and proxmox (which is also debian)

[chilly stratus]

Thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @blazing granite (current: #77 - 82)

[shut wing]

i know windows and powershell more unfortunately ): which i mean that’s okay i guess
but im looking at rhel certs now

[sweet torrent]

shiiii

[shut wing]

lol

[rapid merlin]

might need to take notes now

[sweet torrent]

might watch breaking bad now

[tame merlin]

Helloworld

#room-help

also hello

https://tenor.com/view/i-see-you-gif-16456842065466673219

[tame merlin]

Any chance you might be able to steer me in the right direction

[molten sky]

of the room to ask or of the answer to your question?

[tame merlin]

perhaps both?

[molten sky]

i can point you to #room-help but beyond that I'm actually mid task

actually haven't done many thm rooms in general recently, just here to annoy @boreal scarab with pings

[tame merlin]

haha "yes have posted in said room" ill let you get back to your mission at hand.

[molten sky]

just glanced over-didn't even realize that thm had malware re rooms available

am intrigued

idk about dev but his question seems to imply there's rev eng

[brittle lynx]

Hey guys sometimes when I start my Kali VM, it gets an error and doesnt start. When It locks cause I didnt do anything on it, it goes black when I sign back in. Any fix for this?

Bro all of the sudden my pc cant connect to wifi? I put it in sleep mode then turning it back on It doesn't let me connect to my wifi anymore, it just says cant connect. I can still connect with my phone

[shell nova]

Try to log out then log in

If that doesn't work, reboot

[sick lance]

I'd hit airplane moce first.

Then back out

[wooden totem]

apparently it went in airplane mode on its own

[shell nova]

Ah

[shell nova]

Forgot that that's a thing on laptops these days

[sick lance]

Yeah, I have my FN key swapped so I need to hold in FN to use the multimedia keys because it's too close to mute.

[leaden pagoda]

scrubz

is there any way to reuse my token on this account

i lost access to the discord account my thm is linked with

[sweet torrent]

yo
i saw someone saying if a pc gets wet you should not plug it in or it will burn all the components
is it true?

[bold dawn]

@shell nova can you assist with that?

[sweet torrent]

cuz in that case i will have to replace everything in that old pc
cuz water got on it while it was plugged

[bold dawn]

it can yes

[leaden pagoda]

if a computer gets wet in the first place from the inside its over

there are so many microscopic parts which have most definitely have been damaged already

[sweet torrent]

idfk if it was from the inside

[leaden pagoda]

what happened:

[bold dawn]

it comes down technically to whether the water bridges components. Best bet would unplug it and let it sit for a while

boot it up later and see if it works

[leaden pagoda]

put it in rice

joke

[sweet torrent]

so basically we forgot the water tap on
and pc was on the ground not on a table
a

[bold dawn]

I had a coworker spill a large bottle of water on his laptop and it was fine

so just unplug it and let it dry

and try again later

[leaden pagoda]

may sound suspicious but i just lost access to my phone number that i need for MFA on my disc account, i have full access to my THM account and the email linked with the lost discord acc

[sweet torrent]

unplug?
idk when it happened but ofc years ago

[bold dawn]

oh? so is it running fine?

[sweet torrent]

it has not been plugged years ago too

[leaden pagoda]

then you dont have anything to lose afaik

[sweet torrent]

and i am scared to run it
it has no ram and hdd
idk if it even has cpu

plus it has cobwebs
that's how old it is

[leaden pagoda]

whats the value of the computer

any price tag

[sweet torrent]

idk
i didin't even use it

it wasn't mine
+i didin't know shit about pcs

[bold dawn]

it has no ram or storage? I do not think it's going to run if that's the case...

[sweet torrent]

it has storage
but hdd

[bold dawn]

SSD?

M2?

[sweet torrent]

what's m2
no ssd

hey guys, when trying to install burp suite I get this error. Anyone know why and how to fix it?
sudo ./burpsuite_community_linux_v2024_4_5.sh
Unpacking JRE ...

./burpsuite_community_linux_v2024_4_5.sh: 653: /home/kali/Downloads/burpsuite_community_linux_v2024_4_5.sh.503083.dir/jre/bin/java: Exec format error

[leaden pagoda]

uname -m

[shut hawk]

What is your system arch?

[olive anchor]

Where can I see that?

[heady nova]

Hi people

[shut hawk]

Run that command tux posted

[olive anchor]

aarch64

[leaden pagoda]

then i assume you just installed the 32bit version

[leaden pagoda]

the output should be eitherx86_64 or i686

[sweet torrent]

would it be easier to buy new things and use same case

[olive anchor]

I downloaded linux x64

[leaden pagoda]

then you accidentaly download burp suite 32bit

[olive anchor]

i don't think so but let me double check

[leaden pagoda]

exec format error usually occurs when theres a mismatch of 32vs64

[olive anchor]

i redownloaded the x64 version and I get the same error

[shut hawk]

Are you running a Kali VM?

[olive anchor]

yes

[shut hawk]

With what hyervisor?

[olive anchor]

UTM on a mac

[shut hawk]

Ah okay, you are on a mac?

Okay, that explains it

[olive anchor]

ok. So what can I do to make it work?

[shut hawk]

https://www.kali.org/docs/virtualization/install-utm-guest-vm/
Follow this guide

[devout palm]

Is it intel or M1/M2

[olive anchor]

M1

[shut hawk]

M1 because aarch64

[devout palm]

Yeah you need to find an arm64 version

[shut hawk]

Everything is explained here 🙂

[olive anchor]

ok, will read it 🙂

[devout palm]

I personally used VMWare Fusion, and downloaded the kali arm64 iso

[olive anchor]

is that better than UTM?

[devout palm]

Yeah, UTM is kinda slow

[olive anchor]

is VMWare free?

[devout palm]

Aye

[olive anchor]

cool. Thanks!

[olive anchor]

thanks!

[bold dawn]

nice, I was about to do the same heap

almost doubled it up lol

[olive anchor]

will VMWare fix my issue then too?

[wide marten]

For personal use

[devout palm]

You need to download the jar and install java on kali

[olive anchor]

ok

[sick lance]

Yeah, just make sure you grab the personal use one.

I completely forgot how to change this, it's stopped working and I tried to add what it wanted but it still fails to connect to the openvpn

Hello, can someone more experienced DM me. I'm having trouble solving some CTFs and would really like to know the answer to. Probably will take not more than 10 minutes

[olive anchor]

I had already installed it like this. It didn't fix the issue of installing burp suite though

[deft cloak]

LOL.. Very casual way to ask cheating in CTFs.. xD

[patent hinge]

lmao

[devout palm]

Is it an active CTF?

[plush pike]

Dude, how should I learn when I cannot find the solution?

[patent hinge]

has never seen a Linux user

[sick lance]

Yeah...

We're not going to assist you with this as it's an interview you're doing.

If you get this position due to cheating that's not fair on other candidates.

Also dm'ing/friend request without asking is against our rules.

[plush pike]

Okay, thank you. Just to say it in my defense, I'm not trying to achieve that. It will not be okay to get into a job that I am not qualified for. The interview is already over and I was searching for some explanation about specific cases or at least how to approach them. Just has no one to ask. I am also very sorry for breaking the rules.

[olive anchor]

In case you're curious. this fixed my issue. Had to install burp on my mac and then on kali linux https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTETvnyln_w

[errant fossil]

Is it possible to install ubuntu dual boot on m1 mac as vm's dont work

[mossy river]

I wouldn't recommend it

[errant fossil]

any problems on it?

[mossy river]

If you can't get a VM to work, I can't imagine the problems you are going to have dual booting.

It's not as straight forward as it is normally

[errant fossil]

its cause of apple switching to arm chips and so all the vm apps dont work any more

any other way?

[misty crag]

hi

[mossy river]

VMs work fine, I didn't find any issues.

I tried Parallels and VMware fusion.

[errant fossil]

Hello

[misty crag]

hy

[errant fossil]

Yeah i was leaning towards parallels. The only reason i want ubuntu on mac is cause of college

and battery life of m1 is good

Would you say Parallels is worth it ?

[wide marten]

Gotta be careful which VS Code extensions to install https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/malicious-vscode-extensions-with-millions-of-installs-discovered/

[bold dawn]

be careful installing extensions for anything you use

[misty crag]

hi, can anyone here teach me hacking

[devout palm]

https://tryhackme.com/ Can

Obviously ethical and legal side of it

[mossy river]

@sick lance

[sick lance]

You've been banned!

[errant fossil]

Question, In Ring Toplogies what cable are the computers connected to each other by?

[mossy river]

My new shoes have left bruises on my ankles 😔

[sick lance]

Ethernet probably.

[errant fossil]

too tight?

[mossy river]

No I think it’s because they’re a little loose

[errant fossil]

Alr that makes sense, Thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @sick lance (current: #1 - 2381)

[errant fossil]

opposite lol

[devout palm]

It fits over time

[mossy river]

If I grow yes lol

[devout palm]

Oh lol

I thought tight

[mossy river]

It actually hurts so much to walk rn but I can’t change the shoes because it’s part of the fit

[errant fossil]

all for the fit lol

[mossy river]

It’s worth the pain

[errant fossil]

sometimes

[wooden totem]

Baby powder

[errant fossil]

sometimes its just pain

[wooden totem]

Double socks

Additional foam

[devout palm]

crumpled gazette

[errant fossil]

what does that do?

[wooden totem]

Prevent friction

[errant fossil]

oh Alr

[mossy river]

I could just buy smaller shoes but I’m not trying to go bankrupt

[devout palm]

You can request refund, no?

[mossy river]

I don’t think I can return them because they’re quite creased.

I was walking in them yesterday for around 7/8 hours

[devout palm]

Ow

[errant fossil]

are they nike?

[mossy river]

Yes

[errant fossil]

you could contact them for a new pair for the correct size

i almost did that to mine

[wide marten]

The topology has nothing to do with the physical connection medium. You can have a ring topology with fiber

[errant fossil]

cause they were to tight

[mossy river]

I’ll take a look at the return policy later

[devout palm]

Too busy flexing huh :p

[wide marten]

This is an older non-ethernet technology that even has the ring in its name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Token_Ring

[errant fossil]

so they dont need to physically connect to each computer?

[mossy river]

I bought them for a fit and wore them out to a family event pretty much straight away

[wide marten]

You do need to connect, but the choice of connection is independent from the topology. You can use any type of cable or even wireless link to build a ring topology network.

[errant fossil]

what does MAU mean?

[sick lance]

The possibly meant the THM room with the ring topology section.

[errant fossil]

Oh Wireless works?

[wide marten]

Since it's in general I assumed it was a general question.

[errant fossil]

yeah i could also use some of the general knowledge

[wide marten]

Topology is an abstract concept. What technology you implement it with is irrelevant for that. You could absolutely connect hosts with point to point wireless links to form a ring topology. Directional wifi or even laser (that's a thing).

[errant fossil]

So it’s not always like the diagram in thm, Alr that’s easier and harder to understand at the same time lol

[errant fossil]

Wait what Laser?

[worn thorn]

yep

basically wireless fiber optic

[errant fossil]

so is it like a laser just pointed accross the room?

[errant fossil]

do homes use MAU or is it purely offices?

[worn thorn]

an emitter pointed to a a receiver which converts it back into ones and zeros

villain level of connectivity. Fricking lazors

[wide marten]

Here's an example I found I a paper

Therefore, in these paper, we proposed a method which is approach to find a smallest cost in TSP modeling route, also with their implementation to create a ring topology for Wireless Sensor Network’s (WSN).
Ring Topology Optimization for Wireless Sensor
Network: A New Heuristic Method

So that's not only theoretical.

[wide marten]

Neither homes nor offices use token ring these days. It's an old technology, I just gave it as an example.

[errant fossil]

cant understand this rn, hopefully soon i might get it

[wide marten]

Regarding lasers: iirc there's banks in the NYC region connected by lasers on the roof. To minimize network latency.

[worn thorn]

ring is prone to failure if one device fails.

I find it weird that uk wiring is like that

[errant fossil]

Oh Damm This is next level stuff lol

[wide marten]

`We build, own and operate the world’s only and lowest latency dual wireless spectrum network, purpose built for electronic trading. With the help of our patented product suite, we deliver ultra-low latency with near 100% availability.

Also crazy: a consortium of banks built a dedicated fiber cable between north America and Europe on the shortest possible route. Just to have a competitive advantage by having a few milliseconds less network latency than existing cables.

Thanks for yhe link you reccmended

[errant fossil]

yw and once you start it gets addicting to keep going onto the next task

and thats the best thing about it

How many Switches are used on average in schools and offices?

[sick lance]

How big is the school and office?

Could be 2, could be 4. could be 10.

[sand trench]

exactly 42

[wide marten]

Anywhere between 1 and dozens

[errant fossil]

in my old school all devices on average could get 300mbps each device

[sick lance]

That doesn't tell you about how many though.

[errant fossil]

the size could be like 2 kms

[sick lance]

More switches != faster speed.

[errant fossil]

should it not be the opposite?

[wide marten]

!= means not equal

[errant fossil]

ohhh good to know lol, Thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @wide marten (current: #72 - 86)

[wide marten]

But yes, adding a switch will increase the time it takes to transfer a given file start to finish by the processing delay of the switch's electronics. That's not much but if we're precise...

[frosty lava]

I'm thinking about getting the burp suite certified practitioner. Would that help me with bug bounties?

[sick lance]

Burp is a usefull tool, so it can't make it worse.

[errant fossil]

That explains it. Thanks again

[sick lance]

Oh boy

I was looking at a website and wondering why most of it is in Swedish, then remembered my VPN 😂

[errant fossil]

Thanks Scrubz

[twin ridge]

[errant fossil]

what vpn are you using?

[sick lance]

Malware-Bytes.

[chilly veldt]

when work be slow

[errant fossil]

does it have a good connection?

[sick lance]

Yeah. it's pretty fast.

I keep it random and change daily.

[errant fossil]

Just checked it and it has a good price too, ill get it

Thanks

[sick lance]

How much?

[errant fossil]

49.99 gbp per year

[sick lance]

Is that just the VPN?

[errant fossil]

says security+Vpn

[sick lance]

Yeah, Malware-Bytes premuim too

Are you a student?

[errant fossil]

yup

[sick lance]

https://www.malwarebytes.com/student-discount

Half price for students.

[errant fossil]

Ohhhhhh Even Better

[sick lance]

25 for 1.

32 for 2.

Can't buy more than 2.

Make sure you choose the Edu+

[errant fossil]

[sick lance]

2. Cakes.

[brisk tree]

[sick lance]

[brisk tree]

[brisk tree]

on the counter

and its nearly 50 degrees hgere

here

[sick lance]

That's what happens when you move.

Lose free healthcare, chippies, buckfast, MD20/20 and your Scottish status.

Once you lose the accent, that's you.

No longer welcome back.

[devout palm]

With the shell

[brisk tree]

someone has opened up a real chippie in dubai now

[sick lance]

It won't be the same.

[brisk tree]

and i just need my visa so i can get insurance

[brisk tree]

apparently it is and by a british person

[sick lance]

If they're not Scottish it doesn't count.

Scottish chippies > Anywhere else.

You won't get your battered mars bar over there.

[brisk tree]

tbh the food has more flavour here

[blazing granite]

you never lose your accent

[mossy river]

Wrong wrong wrong

Mate, you guys don't fry your pizza, you're automatically excluded.

I have high cholesterol.. and I'm 6' 160lbs.. lol

[mossy river]

I come from the Black Country. I didn't like the accent so I changed it.

[brisk tree]

im not allowed to have coffee till im better its going to be rough

[livid nexus]

I hate online classes when there are 60 people and on YouTube live I prefer individual online

[blazing granite]

You should go to Naples there a great fried pizza there

[sick lance]

Could be worse, you could be bitten by a dog...

..Thay would be ruff.

[brisk tree]

i grew up isolated from alot of people so never developed an accent

[wild rose]

I want coffee... cri

[normal fable]

oh shi.. you quit right Dex?

[brisk tree]

yeah but pain everyday all day and throwing up not fun

[mossy river]

I've a different accent for different people ahahah

[wild rose]

yeah thought you posted that to make me sad.

[mossy river]

You can tell when I am angry because my original accent comes out

[normal fable]

Nonono. Had I remembered I wouldn't have posted. 😭

[brisk tree]

google assistant doesnt understand me i told it to change my light to white and it gave me links to flights

[wild rose]

When I'm exhausted, I let my accent slip. Then people make fun of me.

[brisk tree]

i souind more scottish the more angry i get

[wild rose]

no worries, willpower!

[shut hawk]

until you reach a point where the other person cant understand you

[brisk tree]

i had an english lecturer in college and i had to translate for him

[wild rose]

lol you're not englishing enough for a english professor.

[brisk tree]

ahahahahaha

[mossy river]

That's just as bad as resting bitch face. lol

[haughty nymph]

Which of the following best represents the process by which you simulate the actions of a hacker to find vulnerabilities in a system?
Offensive security
Defensive security

I don't understand either of the 2 options works

[bold dawn]

What confuses you?

Which of them acts like a hacker?

[sand trench]

aaaaaaaaaaand 2fa reenabled on twitch as they kinda broke the system for a while so shadow was forced to turn it off as they did not wanna use authy

[rich ivy]

It means what is it called when you act like a hacker to find system weaknesses??

[normal fable]

Is this for an exam? sounds like an exam question..

[haughty nymph]

there are 2 proposition and none works

@mossy river

[devout palm]

I remember that question

Might be the intro to offensive

[haughty nymph]

no its in the leasson of tryhackme

sounds like one of the questions from one of the intro rooms indeed

ah.. ok.

Looked like a question I had on an exam/pretest.

[prisma void]

the IDS tool?

[boreal scarab]

Posted Earlier, but look at it!

[crude stump]

What are you talking about

[sly lance]

Yup.

[wild rose]

Touch grass especially poison ivy and drink the water.

[sly lance]

What phishing framework do you use? If you don’t mind me asking.

Planning to use GoPhish for ours, but KnowBe4 is an option as well

[wise cliff]

Using GoPhish too, works very well. Can only recommend :)

[crude stump]

#room-help

[wise cliff]

One of our own employees tried to hack the server hosting a landing page (malicious page that tries to make you enter your login credentials), using a bad SQL Inejction attack.
We run that page to train learn how to detect phishing.

I dunno, I found it funny :)

[sick lance]

You waited a whole two min(s) before posting in here, please post in room help, and wait patiently, nobody here is required to assist you, we're all volunteers.

@wise cliff @sly lance can we keep phishing discussion to advanced chats, since we can't verify you're doing them legally and ethically, we won't discuss it in general, as it's illegal outside that scope.

[wise cliff]

Fair enough :)

[boreal scarab]

For all the Brits, a nice history fact:

https://youtube.com/shorts/8DtSspkZEzk?si=DMeo0oZVy9nSmfln

[sick lance]

It's not rude. you posted the same message across three seperate channels, this is considered as spam.

[sick lance]

This is pretty common knowledge here...

Some of the fences are still standing.

[boreal scarab]

Well, I'm not a Brit, and don't know the British school system, so not sure if they told you guys that.

[sick lance]

@wild rose Let's not encourage people to touch poison ivy...

[wild rose]

Tehehehe

[sick lance]

..I don't see what is funny about it.

THM staff aren't paid to sit in Discord to help out members, the mods are community staff.

[naive violet]

The discord isn't the official place to receive support

[wild rose]

sorry Scrubs I'll grow up.

[boreal scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/bender-futurama-laugh-sarcastic-fun-gif-12163274

[sick lance]

Ironically you're not showing respect.

All I asked was you kept TryHackMe issues to the relevant channel.

And not post the same message accross multiple channels.

[umbral bay]

Hello hello, help is not always immediate, it depends on availability of volunteers. People in the community are in general very eager to help.

[sick lance]

Sure, but give people time to reply.

[shell nova]

To be fair, and I'm sorry to say that the attitude you're showing is a pretty poor one for Infosec in general. This is a field where you need to learn to research on your own, as things are changing faster than most can follow. It requires a certain degree of creativity, curiosity, and a willingness to learn, not simply "getting the task done"

That said we're here to help guide you, but due to time and other constraints, the volunteers here help when they can

[naive violet]

Ooh @shell nova I have a Java revEng project

[shell nova]

I'm sorry

[naive violet]

I have source for most of it

[shell nova]

Intellij uses a fantastic decompiler though

[naive violet]

Apparently they're doing pi GPIO from Java which will be interesting

[naive violet]

Jadx gui is nice tbf

[naive violet]

I'll likely write up the journey if it's any good

[shell nova]

That sounds like a terrible idea

[naive violet]

Posting the same message over multiple channels like that becomes undesirable messages, spam.
It's good net etiquette to post in the correct places and be patient

[shell nova]

You should probably wait more that 2 minutes before posting that you need help in general 😉

[naive violet]

Right?
Whole thing should have been an ESP32

[shell nova]

Probably

[naive violet]

Instead there's a pi, an MSP430, and a CC1101

So pi talks to msp talks to cc1101 I reckon

[shell nova]

Either spare parts, or they used what they knew

[naive violet]

Yeah, pi was a weird choice

[sick lance]

..I didn't threaten you

You are taking what I said completly out of context and proportion.

[naive violet]

@summer carbon Hey, please take 10-20 minutes away from the keyboard to calm down.
This attitude isn't appropriate and if it continues, you will be temporarily muted

Hey, please stop

[grim sparrow]

:mute: surtur42#0 has been muted.

[crude stump]

Oh woops

Ignore that I asked

[wide marten]

Drama

[naive violet]

Not exactly

People seem to think they're entitled to volunteer's time

[quasi hedge]

Is there any recommended course for mobile pentesting?

[naive violet]

Testing apps or the underlying devices?

[quasi hedge]

Apps for now, but wouldn't mind reading about pen-testing the devices themselves.

[wide marten]

Opened a physical computer magazine for the first time in probably ten years. They still print listings like back in the day 🙂

[naive violet]

The only "good" one for apps I've seen is SANS, super expensive

[normal fable]

Do they still sell Linux magazine in the stores?

[crude stump]

The norm

[quasi hedge]

Any that's under 100$~, can't afford SANS right now.

[wide marten]

I've been offered a coffee per DM to help somebody

[naive violet]

I mean by that point you're no longer a volunteer 😉

[naive violet]

Don't know of any good ones

[wide marten]

I declined^^

[quasi hedge]

Thanks anyway.

Does someone have advice, Cause i learn things very good but also forget them quickly or just dont remember it very correctly

I have also been taking notes too it has helped

[normal fable]

Take good notes and refer to them often.

Repetition is key.

[errant fossil]

but its hard to remember of my head

[rapid merlin]

like do you forget about it after a certain amount of days

[sinful moon]

Be me, respond to an EDR alert at work. TestApp3910.exe hmm, that sounds awfully familiar. Look at the path and yep steamapps/common/Sid Meier's Civilization III Complete

lol someone really wanted to play Civ III on their work computer. Was detected just due to being an old game exe with some suspicioius indicators

[normal fable]

Yeah.. I've seen Steam on a few machines in some orgs... lol

[sinful moon]

Don't worry I was sure to False Positive and unquarantine it c:

Yeah lol, this guy is the head of their firm and often plays Civ VI so didn't supirse me too much, just made me chuckle

[errant fossil]

yeah like i learn a topic and after a few days while im learning some new topic the old knowledge is less, its not like i forget everything but its just that i dont remember the details

i want to know how do yall reccomend learning

[rapid merlin]

what I always do is just revise, I look over my notes about the topic to turn on that subject back in my head

[shell nova]

not surprising

[rapid merlin]

and do flash cards

[lavish star]

pro tip

had this issue

[sinful moon]

As EZ mentioned taking notes and repition is indeed what works for me. Do nmap on every room until you got the flags basically memorized

[lavish star]

after a bit of troubleshooting

[errant fossil]

i write notes, should i go over them everyday or weekly?

[lavish star]

cd into the folder where you have the config file

[normal fable]

I mean.. I used to play Dwarf Fortress at one org.. very slow days.. lol

[lavish star]

and use sudo

sudo opnvpn name.ovpn

[errant fossil]

any website you use?

or did you make them

[rapid merlin]

Weekly if you are doing a lot of subjects

[rapid merlin]

https://quizlet.com

NetSec? WebSec?

[sand trench]

yeah nmap and ffuf will get you a lot further

shadow just felt like doing the joke about openvpn

[oak mantle]

I thought most people migrating from openvpn to wireguard?

[prisma void]

to do KOTH and become the best in my country

[unreal solar]

Not in this context

[bold dawn]

KOTH is mostly netsec? I haven't done it

[oak mantle]

fair, I just jumped in lmao

[bold dawn]

I rebuilt a wireguard vpn configuration from scratch today

it was... interesting

[prisma void]

I mostly used to mess around with IDA and do reverse engineering and used to do some scada hacking, made payloads with python etc etc etc

Now my goal in cybersec is just to have fun

[boreal scarab]

Never heard of em. I've got the Olson Ruby, but looks like they're not selling it

[loud marlin]

koth is ok. but there is much more to learn for sure

[oak mantle]

^me on the right

[oak mantle]

oh?

[loud marlin]

[prisma void]

lets say I got fortune twice in a row am I allowed to use my first method again?

[bold dawn]

was having connectivity issues when two users used the same conf at the same time, so needed to create multiple so I could split them up

[sand trench]

slightly different usecases

[oak mantle]

Oh spwaking of 3d printers

[boreal scarab]

Ay Texan, ya go fishing lately?

[oak mantle]

@loud marlin

[sand trench]

who wants shadows left leg in exchange for a 3d printer???

[bold dawn]

I don't even own a fishin rod this year

[boreal scarab]

A Texan not owning a fishing rod?!

[normal fable]

wth Derek! Get a fishing rod!!

[oak mantle]

does it have any cool implants?

[sand trench]

wait there is rivers and lakes in texas to fish in????

[bold dawn]

I haven't gone fishing in probably 3 years

[normal fable]

I have like 20... lol

[sand trench]

yes it is called a femur

[bold dawn]

No clue, I have never been to Texas

[boreal scarab]

There's rivers, ponds, lakes, oceans, anything and everything to fish in in the states!

[loud marlin]

nice yea. ill build one in with time

[oak mantle]

you drive a hard bargain.. but deal!

[errant fossil]

btw what laptop is that, if you dont mind me asking?

[oak mantle]

cool! then you can teach me blender n kicad 😄

[boreal scarab]

It's a laptop

[boreal scarab]

I got 2

An ugly stick, and... I always forget my baitcaster

[dull mortar]

if anyone know how to login in google account without 2FV DM i will give any account you want netflix.plex,disney.instagram,ip,facebook,cc....etc just dm me if anyone know the method

[normal fable]

I have 2 that I've never used... lol

[oak mantle]

uh.. an asus.. why? I got a Texedeo now thou but Im doing some maintenance on it

Texedo ❤️

[errant fossil]

@sick lance

[oak mantle]

top at 12GB T.T

[errant fossil]

cause im planning to get a laptop for linux

[loud marlin]

heh. i wish i also know them. im not so great in modeling. i just make simple things that i need for my self. most models for print i get onlinbe 🙂

[oak mantle]

get Tuxedo. they build with linux-first philosopy

[sand trench]

and at a premium cost

[dull mortar]

huh He will clap for you, sycophant

[oak mantle]

not really

[boreal scarab]

I very rarely use my baitcaster. It's a heavy rod, 50 lb braid, and got a frog tied to it. Spinner, I believe is light, 8 lb mono, and a senko in wacky rig setup.

I got other baits, bur that's what I have currently tied off.

Just picked up some powerbait maxscent senko's today.

@normal fable

[oak mantle]

think mine cost like 2.5 and it included like 5 years maintience

I was surprised at the price actually

[boreal scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/no-let-me-think-nope-no-way-hmm-no-gif-22904160

[sand trench]

but yeah for linux by default laptops shadow recommend in the following order
system76 == only if you are in the usa
tuxedo == if you are in europe
framework == nice repairability and has great linux support from the stories shadow has heard
thinkpads == the cheapest option and generally great for linux too and some even support libreboot and coreboot

[oak mantle]

wish there was mouse for 3d mouse

[boreal scarab]

@mossy river @whole yew

[oak mantle]

framework dont ship to sweden...

[sand trench]

not yet... but they seem to be changing this during this summer

[oak mantle]

have a whole bunch of people on the office who wants one (me inlcuded) but been going Tuxedo and Levano instead

[errant fossil]

never heard of it lol, damm 899 euro💀, Worth it ?

[whole yew]

I don't understand what you're trying to do, can you explain please?

[oak mantle]

Ill keep an eye on that. a colleague wants to be able to swap hdd, and I think their mudular thing can do that?

[sand trench]

yeah that is where shadows comment on it costing a premium comes in

[oak mantle]

so worth it

[sand trench]

tuxedo is not the cheapest option for laptops by a long shot

but their software support is neat

[loud marlin]

not for 3d drawing.just more for control of wiev and so

[boreal scarab]

Are y'all talking bout laptops that are easily upgradeable?

[errant fossil]

alr i will add it to my options then.

[whole yew]

for almost all use cases, better off going to amazon refurbished and getting a retired corpo ideapad, lattitude, etc than getting a brand new consumer laptop

[errant fossil]

Thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @oak mantle (current: #1049 - 3)

[oak mantle]

cant a bbusinesslaptop set you back like 6keuro?

1049 \o/

[tidal quartz]

Do you guys know of any active discord communities focused on cryptography

[oak mantle]

anyway, if I cant have a niche brand I go Asus every day 🙂

[whole yew]

i got a 5 year old lenovo thinkpad for $300 - i forget the exact specs, but I don't need super performance on it; i just need to compile local tools and they all pretty good driver support for linux

[oak mantle]

I have two thinkpads

probably really old thou

[loud marlin]

i got lenovo yoga and he is crap at the best

[whole yew]

it was 8 core, 16gb ram, 500gb ssd. for a personal laptop i take with me for travel, it's perfect - there's no data on it that i absolutely care about, and any data on it is already backed up. If the hardware gets damaged, lost or stolen, i don't need to care, because it's not a significant investment

[boreal scarab]

I got a T440s from my old job for free. I would ask your helpdesk team, see if they are throwing out any laptops. Usually the best bet for free gear

[loud marlin]

so asus zenbook as 2nd one is great up so far

[oak mantle]

a lot of people in the industry use thinkpads. but they kinda heavy I think`

[boreal scarab]

BUT very reliable

[dull mortar]

i have the emails and passwords i just asked for a mothod or a trick to avoid 2FV and i didnt asked for h>>x prog or a way to h>>k someone so i think its legal and i didnt broke the rules

[oak mantle]

a very important factor in consultant work 😉

did another company use to make thinkpads before levano?

[bold dawn]

I wholeheartedly agree. They always work best for me anyways.

[whole yew]

you are attempting to break authentication on a system you don't own... so yes, you are violating the rules

[molten sky]

ibm

[boreal scarab]

Lenovo

[oak mantle]

then I recalled it correctly!

[bold dawn]

lmao

levano

[boreal scarab]

[molten sky]

no it was clearly lenavo

[boreal scarab]

I thought it was loveno 🤔

[oak mantle]

life gets a bit interesting at times with dyslexia 😉

I vote le-lovo

[molten sky]

old logo

holy big embed

[boreal scarab]

Le-volvo

[normal fable]

Old old old logo. lol

[boreal scarab]

[oak mantle]

i literally live in volvo city lmaoooo

ima go check what brand mine are... if i can find them

[boreal scarab]

"So what do you drive?"
A Volvo
"So what do you use as a laptop"
A Le-volvo

[wide marten]

[hazy sundial]

@boreal scarab i haven't hacked in like 7 months can you please look at my linpeas and tell me how can i privilage escalate?

[molten sky]

in case you were wondering, they didn't have trackpads, only trackpoints

thankfully never removed

[oak mantle]

for me I value low weight and high ram the most

[boreal scarab]

Don't look at me, I do OSINT

[normal fable]

I had one of those back in the day.. lol

[hazy sundial]

bruh

[molten sky]

10/10 hackers on this server

[molten sky]

apparently not enough

[boreal scarab]

👴

[oak mantle]

bit pissed of that light weight laptops tops at 64gb 😠

[boreal scarab]

WYM

[molten sky]

didn't even know what tool i was talking about before lmao

[wide marten]

It was already old then so I'm not that old...

[boreal scarab]

Because I don't use that one, I use other tools to do that. Don't ask me which, I got em bookmarked on my laptop

[sand trench]

also if you think thinkpads are heavy the clevo based desktop replacments that tuxedo makes are worse

[molten sky]

mhmmmmmmmmmm

[boreal scarab]

[molten sky]

bookmarked he says

[boreal scarab]

Yes I says

Sorry, did you get a company fined for OSHA violations for making a pregnant lady work outside in -40f weather during a blizzard? No? Didn't think so.

https://tenor.com/view/rpx_syria-mic-drop-gif-19149907

[molten sky]

you can get osha to fine someone for wearing the wrong shade of orange on their vest

[molten sky]

those fingerprint readers always felt more accurate and trustworthy than the place on top squares, for some reason

[oak mantle]

hm?

[sand trench]

yeah that is because they were

[molten sky]

those fingerprint readers always felt more accurate and trustworthy than the place on top squares, for some reason

[sand trench]

though linux driver support for fingerprint readers is lackluster

[oak mantle]

the place one top squares?

[buoyant tree]

those fingerprint readers were bad man

never worked

[molten sky]

the lil squares that you place your finger on to read your fingerprint

[buoyant tree]

and almost peeled my finger off

[molten sky]

the swipe bar?

[buoyant tree]

yeah

[oak mantle]

oh

[molten sky]

how tf did you almost deglovefinger yourself

[oak mantle]

never used any fingerprint readers

[buoyant tree]

It's sharp

[molten sky]

that sounds like a manufacturing problem rather than a bad reader problem

or you're just made of rice paper or some shit

[oak mantle]

...ARE you made of rice paper?

[buoyant tree]

I don't believe I am, let me check though

[buoyant tree]

happened with 2 thinkpads

[molten sky]

think you're just weak skinned

[buoyant tree]

Don't think so, think its the thinkpads

[oak mantle]

there's a invader zim where Dib turns into bologni

[molten sky]

weird lookin 701C

[buoyant tree]

how does that even fit

[oak mantle]

^ want one of those tbh

[molten sky]

seesm that the keyboard slides to expand and contract

[oak mantle]

it transforms

[buoyant tree]

oo Now I want one

[oak mantle]

innit

i think the collector value is like crazy on them thou

so if you think Tux are expensive ^^

[molten sky]

probably a pain to repair

[oak mantle]

I want dettachable keyboard

[buoyant tree]

How much

[oak mantle]

or even one where you can put in a custom pcb

[molten sky]

aint that just a tablet

[buoyant tree]

I could probably find one if I spend a few days

[oak mantle]

dunno, check ebay^^

[oak mantle]

a wise use of your time 😉

[buoyant tree]

2.1k$ the fuck

[oak mantle]

[molten sky]

not terribly surprised tbh
