[oak mantle]

oh

what requirement to get that role?'

[molten sky]

[shut hawk]

yeah there's not a set requirement

[oak mantle]

how does one apply

[shut hawk]

i think Jabba would be the best person to ask

[oak mantle]

alrite!

[molten sky]

i was unqualified for it as a current maintainer of sherlock so 🤷‍♂️

[shut hawk]

they're currently doing a role revamp in the discord, so changes might happen to it

[molten sky]

they just don't like me

[oak mantle]

im very much a noob. but it is what I do for a living. not an open source tool rn thou.. but its been discussed

aight

[molten sky]

grants access to the #771818902342074388 super secret channel so that's a nice perk

(rather than 0xD)

[umbral bay]

New requirements: TBD 😄

so tell us what you want what you really really want

[shut hawk]

They are the site ranks, 0xD is highest

[oak mantle]

oooh, neat

[umbral bay]

Re-evaluated for sure. 🙂

[shut hawk]

All it does is gives access to the advanced channels, which isn't very active anyway

[loud marlin]

i want my red-teamer rank/color

[molten sky]

btw @umbral bay never asked --- what do you even do at thm? outside of discord, i mean. you have the role but never asked what for

[crude stump]

Qa

QA

[shut hawk]

Head of QA I think?

[molten sky]

idk why but QA just feels right for em

[oak mantle]

gotta get that clout 😎

[crude stump]

I forget qa means quality assurance right?

[molten sky]

feels like his area of expertise

[oak mantle]

quite accurate

[molten sky]

he does support

[oak mantle]

Qali Arch

[crude stump]

Yeah so quality assurance

[molten sky]

🤷‍♂️

wait jabba has staff role now too

what does jabba do

[crude stump]

He does the news

[umbral bay]

Content Quality, so you get the best content on the planet (and universe). 😄

[molten sky]

QA for something like THM sounds like it could be a lil interesting ngl

We also have a team of volunteers in this very Discord who do room testing for challenges. 🥳

🤷‍♂️ name here says jacob, and that's all i know

[wide marten]

That implies nepotism rules thm

[molten sky]

idk why it's on the other acct's bio then but 🤷‍♂️

love the name tho

[sand trench]

you know what... can't really argue against that when it comes to room testers

but by that extension the community mentors and moderators also have some degree of nepotism

if that is what you wanna call it

[molten sky]

motion to rename the room testers role to room tasters

[wide marten]

Room toasters

[sand trench]

seeing the official writeups is neat

[buoyant tree]

Rex would then have to be in the list

Speaking of toasters.. Haven't seen Toaster around lately.

[crude stump]

your telling me they have no translate?

you have to learn in english?

[wide marten]

At least you have to give the answers in English.

Wondering if China has their own thm/htb. They have their own somewhat isolated internet with alternative versions of "western" social media sites. Or maybe this kind of content is less accessible there. We'd need an insider to tell.

[buoyant tree]

Wonder the same more about North Korea

Like they don't have freaking internet access at all for civ's

how the hell do they even learn about hacking or develop a passion in it

[crude stump]

prolly government taught

[wide marten]

Ok but with NK it's pretty clear it can only be the government. China is much more free. Is it only taught in secret government schools? At university to a select audience? Is there a lively, open scene like this here?

[simple valve]

Some of them to be trained overseas, particularly Russia

[crude stump]

it could also be they are taught but they are also taught the very strict rules on what they can and can not

@oak mantle did you know there's an islandpeninsula in Poland that carries your name?

[cloud perch]

If one wanted to access the name of the owner of a website is that possible?

[wide marten]

Unless they decide to make it public that's not possible. At least not from your computer. Maybe with a lawyer depending on jurisdiction.

[wide marten]

Why do you ask?

[cloud perch]

ahh i figured.. i was scammed out of $2700 after trying to purchase an Ebike online... made a wire transfer and basically my bank said unless they accept the cancellation im SOL

was hoping to report the owner

[wide marten]

Police, lawyer, bank.
This discord server doesn't help with such issues.

[steel aspen]

If I use a US openvpn server when im in the AUS range, it will be slower right? Aus one isn't working for me at the moment

[wide marten]

Generally you can expect higher latency the farther away your physical location is from the server, yes.

[feral ledge]

yo guys

have you had any experience with Qemu ?

[steel aspen]

Yeah this is going to be fun. AUS one is broken, I change the cipher to what's needed but it still doesn't work properly always a fatal error

[wide marten]

Might not even be that bad. I don't know where in the US their servers are but east coast AUS to west coast US should be workable

[steel aspen]

Assuming Aus server is in Sydney or Canberra?

[wide marten]

No idea.

[jaunty hamlet]

Also had an issue with the AUS server this morning, switched to US West and all is ok now

[wide marten]

AWS currently says round trip time between their data centers in Sydney region and western US is ~140ms. If you end up with that it's doable IMO.

[sly pollen]

hi I want some help can someone join in the room ?

[bleak dock]

sup everyone 🙂

[feral ledge]

okay so nobody has used Qemu

I appreciate it

[bleak dock]

never heard of it, is that a store?

qemu temu

[feral ledge]

Just ask your question, plenty of knowledge around.

[clear jackal]

It's 21 years old

[wide marten]

Older than probably half of the users here 😄

[feral ledge]

damn

guys im stressing out

[clear jackal]

So what's your question?

[whole yew]

I've been using qemu for 15 years or so.

[feral ledge]

is it something I should get familiar with

should i use @whole yew

[whole yew]

Do you run a linux host?

[feral ledge]

I run kali on oracle

[clear jackal]

4 for me and I haven't even scratched the surface

[whole yew]

as in, is your main OS linux? I find qemu is better for my desktops/laptops, and that a more scalable hypervisor is better for my lab

you run oracle linux as the host os?

[feral ledge]

yes

idk

[whole yew]

you can run qemu or vbox pretty easily. oracle is a fork of centos, so you should have minimal incompatibility if you use the red hat docs.

[bleak dock]

guys, does browser matter when using try hack me virtual machine? or is it all the same?

[feral ledge]

sounds good

[feral ledge]

ive had issues using google chrome on a few rooms

I believe http in detail didnt give me the flag but when I switched to firefox it worked right away

Only the last question tho

[wide marten]

Firefox doesn't allow copy and pasting from the clipboard afaik.

[bleak dock]

awww, i guess im not using firefox

[feral ledge]

cap

[wide marten]

What's that?

[bleak dock]

🤔

[bleak dock]

they ,mean that its a lie

[clear jackal]

Zoomer slang for lie

[feral ledge]

correct

[wide marten]

I've never personally tried it but Scrubz mentions it almost daily and I assume he knows what he's talking about.

[feral ledge]

strange cause its the only browser i use on my machine and ive definetly copypasted

[wide marten]

Pasted into the attackbox virtual desktop?

[feral ledge]

OHH

nah thats diff

im retarded

[wide marten]

Because the question was guys, does browser matter when using try hack me virtual machine? or is it all the same?

[clear jackal]

I looked through his messages, specifically with pasting via Javascript

[wide marten]

[tender pulsar]

I am doing the room "h4cked" and when I went to download the task file firefox gave me a warning the the file contains a virus. I have never run into this before. I assume it is because of what the file is and what it's for in the room but thought I would ask others opinions before I just go ahead and download it

[tender pulsar]

Yes, Yes it does.

[wide marten]

Task files regularly get flagged by browsers.

It's normal but if you don't trust a file it's always recommended to check it, for example with virustotal.com

[tender pulsar]

Good to know. This is the first time it has happened for me.

[solemn garden]

Are king of the hill rooms worth doing?

[tender pulsar]

I have been wondering how to do that. What I mean is how do I get the address to put into the wget command? when I right click on the blue "download task files" icon I don't have any option that will tell me that.

[boreal scarab]

Or well.... they call it "The General"

[uncut vapor]

yes

[molten sky]

bait =/= lure

[boreal scarab]

[molten sky]

knowing how to play a lure > throwing bait and just sitting there

[boreal scarab]

Bass go brrrrrrrrrrr

[tender pulsar]

Well that is the problem. I don't really know how. I have the blue button and if I left click it then it downloads the file and when I right click I don't have any options for a link just the same options I would have if I right clicked on an empty spot on the page. This is how every room has always been for me.

I do have a heavy rod, 50lb braid, and a frog on it. But casting on the shore is a PITA with frogs.

[molten sky]

i'm sorry --- 50# braid? the fuck you catching? swan?

[boreal scarab]

Especially in Jersey, when most waters are shallow that I've been to

[molten sky]

But casting on the shore is a PITA with frogs.
if you don't know where to use them

[boreal scarab]

Yes 50, because you're going through dense brush.
|I got a 8lb mono on my light ugly stick

[molten sky]

many good spots to cast frogs from dry ground

[boreal scarab]

Oh yah? Where would I go fisherman?

[molten sky]

nah i get 30 but 50 is insane lol

[boreal scarab]

I'm also learning on my own, no one has taught me

[molten sky]

hell, you can even fish frogs at the OCC lake if you really wanted to

gotta find peninsulas alongside or into spots with tons of pads & cover

[molten sky]

how most people learn nowadays 🤷‍♂️

[boreal scarab]

There was a place, don't ask me where, it was by a football field, but had lilypads ....... but a crap load of trees, so very much hard as hell to cast

[molten sky]

no leader with a frog so you can pull it in pretty close to the top eyelet if need be, so it doesn't get caught as easily

[slender scaffold]

Phew I guessed right

[wide marten]

Thanks all. Wasn't sure anymore the more I looked at it.

[boreal scarab]

Here's what I THINK:

Windows is more widely used, so threat actors tend to focus on that OS more, plus people using it sometimes aren't technically advanced as we are. And it's closed source.

Now for Linux, it's open source, lesser market share than Windows, and threat actors tend to go for the bigger dogs. Linux is for the more, technically advanced than Windows users are.

[gray sonnet]

Windows more attack surface, Linux less attack surface, ez

[buoyant tree]

More American Truck Simulator?

[gray sonnet]

Less attack surface WHEN compared to windows

[rapid merlin]

we can take something like eternal blue for example the exploit is still affecting 1 million Windows devices

[buoyant tree]

The real reason

[buoyant tree]

You sure bout' that number

[rapid merlin]

based off google

[slender scaffold]

Gawd this described my work every day for months last year

[buoyant tree]

It just isn't worth making malware run on linux

[boreal scarab]

Now with technically advanced people, we tend to make sure our systems are secure.

For me: I got a server hosting games. Anything confidential on that system? HELL NO. But I still have it in a VM, using Pterodactyl, which is dockerized, ontop of that, the VM is fully encrypted, updates every day, clamav running every day, fail2ban, ufw, and some other stuff.

Why?

BECAUSE WHY THE FUCK NOT?!

Is someone forcing you to use windows 11?

[gritty fern]

no

Actually yes

I have to for work

[sinful moon]

Why not, it's nowhere near my 1,333 hours of Euro Truck sim lol

[buoyant tree]

isn't that 13,333?

[gritty fern]

make it all 3s

33,333

[buoyant tree]

eh that's gonna take Ellie atleast 3 days

[gritty fern]

Thats like 4 years

[gritty fern]

I have that many hours in like my whole library

[buoyant tree]

How do you not have all the achivements

[buoyant tree]

Me even less than that.

[slender scaffold]

I wanna play the densha one

[sinful moon]

mainly because of ProMods mappack and other issues

[gritty fern]

Oh speaking of driving im getting beam.ng and a sim set with my computer

[slender scaffold]

Or power wash simulator

[buoyant tree]

WHY

[slender scaffold]

Satisfying ocd

[buoyant tree]

do it irl then

[gritty fern]

frfr

[buoyant tree]

You can pay me the money for the game

[slender scaffold]

I don’t have a hose :/ or a power wash thing

[gritty fern]

amazon.com

[slender scaffold]

My complex doesn’t allow us to wash cars or anything out here

[gritty fern]

What??

Oh its like an apartment?

[slender scaffold]

Yeah

[gritty fern]

I thought you meant like your neighbojood rules

[sinful moon]

Powerwash simulator is good fun but easy to get over after.. 100 hours, sush

[boreal scarab]

mmm yummy ram

[gritty fern]

Thats a server i hope

[sinful moon]

I still play it but nowhere near as much as before. Long beat the "main story" lol

[slender scaffold]

I just want to start somewhere with the simulator stuff

[sinful moon]

I would think so with the Xenon, I've got 512MB in mine

[sinful moon]

Euro Truck Simulator for sure imho, just a normal Xbox controller and you're set

[gritty fern]

Ive been doing forza motorsport with a xbox 360 controller for my sim racing

[sinful moon]

If you don't live in Europe then it's wild, if you do lol there's 'Murica Truck simulator, but still neat visitng places you've beenb

[gritty fern]

I will have da wheel soon tho

[slender scaffold]

That’s a good one. Also was thinking Microsoft flight simulator

[sinful moon]

Yeah while I'd love to have a wheel, so much of my racing or driving games are pick up and play after a long day

[gritty fern]

I have a joystick for flying games

[sinful moon]

I don't wanna go hard at them like I do with my rhythm games

[boreal scarab]

Oh it is!

[gritty fern]

Cheap and good

[slender scaffold]

Speaking of which are you participating in ITL or ECS that’s ending soon?

[sinful moon]

What server Berry?

[sinful moon]

I don't compete in rhythm game championships if that's what you're asking, but yeah I keep up with arcade gameplay

[slender scaffold]

Ooo then you know ddr world version is coming out tomorrow ❤️

My friends are very excited

[gritty fern]

I wish i had friends that liked the games i do

We like almost no games in common

[sinful moon]

Yep, I'm big into bemani but a bit more IIDX and SDVX

[slender scaffold]

We just got a sdvx Valkyrie and iidx epolis machine locally! We’re super happy

[sinful moon]

DDR is what got me into rhythm games in the first place way back in the early 00s tho

nice nice!

[slender scaffold]

It’s like.. I liked the rhythm games first.. then I met friends through them. It’s worked out that way for me

[sinful moon]

Yeah good way to make friends, especially with some of the score charting features of these games

[gritty fern]

Well the main problem is that i play nerdy games and i dont really know many other nerds

[sinful moon]

Rhythm games you just gradually get better at, and while I'm not very compeditive it's nice to see you or your friend surpass a score

[slender scaffold]

Yeah I’m not competitive either. But I watch and help friends.. like for ECS, I let the three person team pay attention to their playing while I became scorekeeper

I do enter competitions for the fun though. I’m just not out to win

[sinful moon]

I'm not sure I understand the term ECS, but I don't follow compeitions much. Google wasn't much help

[whole yew]

Hi Fi Rush is the sleeper game this year

[slender scaffold]

Ohh east coast stamina

[slender scaffold]

My three man friend team is in it to just win the shirt. Every year there’s a goal line that if you pass it in points you win a shirt for every person on the team. Like personal team goal I guess. Actual first place etc gets other prizes

[sinful moon]

Last year but yeah very sad about the developers. Xbox: We need more quality original games. Game: Sells well and critical acclaimed. Xbox: No not like that, fired. Xbox: We need more quality original games

[buoyant tree]

fr

I loved Hi-fi rush

[sinful moon]

Ah nice

[slender scaffold]

Speaking of Xbox I have to watch their games announcements still

[buoyant tree]

There's a story?

[sinful moon]

And yeah AIO, sadly the studio was closed

via text messages and enviromental storytelling

there is a sembalance of a story

[buoyant tree]

there's a freaking story in a power wash sim, I have no words

[slender scaffold]

Can’t wait to clean all the things

[sinful moon]

lol yeah, it, like Truck Sim, is best as a relaxing podcast or audiobook game

The in-game live radio kinda sold me on the idea, listening to BBC Radio early in the morning, late at night for me and just having a good time

iirc mainly BBC Radio 6, I think that was the more alternative music station which was always pretty chill

But yeah sometimes it's nice to have "comfort food games" and that can range on a spectrum. Just something trivial to play and relaxing

[slender scaffold]

I do like relaxing games :3

[sinful moon]

Mhmm I often rank the Kirby games with similar vibes. They can get tricky if you go for the challenges, but can easily be breezed through and adorable

Little Kitty, Big City is one I can for sure recommend. Adorable game and pretty short

I need more games where you play as a kitty in 3D, this and Stray isn't enough lol

[feral ledge]

Can someone help me instaall qemu Im trying im on a windows but im so confused

[midnight hazel]

guys check out this funny meme

[feral ledge]

I have no idea what im doing juun if you can help me out real quick it should take long I believe i have everything i need i just need to put it all together

@midnight hazel

[slender scaffold]

https://tenor.com/view/really-what-squint-chicken-gif-15168180

[sinful moon]

It's a bit tricky on Windows, but why not install VMware Workstation Pro which is now free

although probably need an account to get their "free" license lol

still good software

[midnight hazel]

breh no way blud found the real meme

[feral ledge]

Ive been trying to use it on oracle box but Im struggling to get it setup idk what im doing wrong

and @midnight hazel i find missing people

[gritty fern]

uh…

[slender scaffold]

while that could be a good catalyst to stop, I’d say get help anyway.

[wide marten]

I feel obliged to say it even though this is not the right place: making your self-worth dependent on having a partner in your life is a guarantee for disaster. For your future in general but also for this relationship in particular.
If this was not a very unfunny joke please get help.

[whole yew]

If you're on a windows host, I would recommend using vbox or vmware first. Unless you have a bare metal linux installation, qemu is going to be pain

[feral ledge]

When im studying I like to listen to johnny cash

I just got vmware workstation pro but now what do I need specifically to instal qemu do I need to open a debian or ubuntu distro first?

[wide marten]

You don't need qemu if you have VMware workstation pro.

[feral ledge]

just use kali like i have been?

idk why i wnt qemu so bad lmao

[wide marten]

Is there a reason you think you need it? As far as I can tell you download the VMware image from kali.org and run it. No config required and takes 5 minutes.

[feral ledge]

I have no idea why i want it, i just want it becuse it looks interesting if im being honest

just intrigued me a little bit

[sinful moon]

These will do the same more effectively. Only real reason to use qemu on a Windows host is for emulation of stuff like PowerPC which you likely don’t need to worry about

VMware Workstation Pro or VirtualBox will do just fine

[feral ledge]

now im going to study what PowerPC is

[sinful moon]

It’s what retro Macs and other platforms used for a time in the 90s into the mid 00s

[feral ledge]

should I use arch nd ohhhh hell nah

just say youre vegan too

[sinful moon]

For what it’s worth I’ve been an Arch user for 17 years, and not a vegan lol. But I would not recommend it unless you know specifically that’s what you want

[feral ledge]

idk what i want i just love technology a lot and i like it a lot and want to be great

❤️

[sinful moon]

Yeah and exploring OSes via VMs like you’re looking to do is a fantastic way to do so for sure

[feral ledge]

for what its worth you might change my life by giving me something specific to look into

[sinful moon]

Nah just try whatever interest you tbh

[feral ledge]

real shit im happy to hear it on hood @rapid merlin

[sinful moon]

If you haven’t tried retro Windows, I can highly recommend it

Win 2000 best Windows, fite me

[feral ledge]

explain a little bit i definetly will

i miss my old windows with the little cute start button

[sinful moon]

Not Win 2K but close enough lol

Oh lol I reacted since you said mirror, I also go by a variant of that at times

I don’t want to spam but just wanted to say that VMs are a fun and interesting way to play around with some really neat stuff

[gray sonnet]

Morning Bella 👋

[feral ledge]

this is fucking amzing can you please give me a tutorial or link me on how to get this its actually amazing

[charred forum]

Good morning

[sinful moon]

It’s just the last version of Solaris with CDE, I booted into that instead of GNOME 2. You can just install it as a VM like normal basically. Last I remember Oracle made you get an account but the ISO is free

[charred forum]

My companies printer uses the default password

[rapid merlin]

I remember doing this as a kid, sitting and watching it aswell.

[slender scaffold]

It is pretty fun to watch :3

[sinful moon]

Yeah defrag is just lovely to watch lol

not sure I miss the time waiting, but sure love watching it always

[proud osprey]

can someone explain this isn't it wrong why bob would encrypt using his private key

[chilly veldt]

I mean, that's what he does

[proud osprey]

what would be the use of encryption here then if anyone can decrypt using public key

[chilly veldt]

He encrypts before sending, then it receives at Mary and decrypts with public

[wide marten]

Authenticity

[chilly veldt]

^

[rapid merlin]

public key = possible impersonation. Hence nonces and time stamps ect

[proud osprey]

what if Trudy gets the msg and decrypts it

[proud osprey]

explain further

[rapid merlin]

Malory interception

[chilly veldt]

Then Trudy knows that it is Bob who sent it

And then authenticates that it's Bob and not some random person

[proud osprey]

ok ok we wanna authenticate who's msg is this

ty

[chilly veldt]

If Bob were to use Mary's public key and send to her and she's using her private key, now that's encryption

[proud osprey]

yep

that was in my mind too

[rapid merlin]

B -> M = {M}B, pr(M}B, pk

[chilly veldt]

Anyone can use a public key, only one (hopefully) can use the private key

[rapid merlin]

I think ?

[feral ledge]

What is a support identifier for oracle ?

[naive violet]

You're not trying to keep the message secret there

[brisk tree]

Morning

[molten sky]

morn

[fallen burrow]

every time I start to learn a new framework, I ask myself why this is necessary

[brisk tree]

How are your

[feral ledge]

solaris 10 (sparc) or (x86)

[naive violet]

Wat

sparc
What is this, the early 00s?

@gleaming hare Hey, please verify with the bot and use #koth for this

[molten sky]

eh think it's about time to get some sleep for once

way too tired for this time

[brisk tree]

Yeah get some sleep

[naive violet]

@rapid merlin hey let's not do that here please

[feral ledge]

ninja would you be able to help me out ? Do you know what elizabeth said above I have the solaris iso what else do I need to set it up when I run the iso in vmware i get this error

[naive violet]

Did you connect it to the virtual CD drive?

[feral ledge]

idk what that is

[molten sky]

( the iso is a cd image ) ( for context )

[naive violet]

Go into the VM settings

[feral ledge]

yes its in the CD/DVD location

but she said something about gnome 2

[naive violet]

Can you show us please?

[feral ledge]

is that what you mean?

[naive violet]

That's not what I mean

[feral ledge]

damn

[naive violet]

Go into the VM settings please

[feral ledge]

is that what you mean

[naive violet]

That's sparc, you need x86-64 or x64

[feral ledge]

ahhh i asked that earlier i wasnt sure thank you so much ❤️

[naive violet]

We didn't have the context lol

[feral ledge]

hehehe

[naive violet]

Otherwise I would have answered in more detail

[molten sky]

ngl had to google what sparc even was -- apparently is risc

[naive violet]

Beyond "sparc old"

[naive violet]

Sun Microsystems!

[molten sky]

you already said old but can't say i expected sun

[naive violet]

I wonder if they've gotten cheap enough that I can buy a DDR3 SPARC server to play with

[feral ledge]

idk where i go for this

i accepted cookies

[naive violet]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[feral ledge]

LMAO

[naive violet]

Idk why you're doing solaris, again it's not the early 00s

[feral ledge]

it looked pretty idk

[fallen burrow]

reset the cookies

[naive violet]

Wat

You're downloading solaris.... For the gui????

[feral ledge]

😦

what bruh

[molten sky]

don't think i've even looked at sun sol in like a 8 or 9 years, and that was just cause i was bored

[fallen burrow]

I use electron apps on linux for the performance benefits

[naive violet]

I genuinely do not understand why you're subjecting yourself to the horrors of Solaris for a desktop environment usable on a normal linux distro for less work

[feral ledge]

whats dat

[molten sky]

discord is written using electron, for instance

[feral ledge]

idk what im doing bruh i feel like this helps me learn shit

oh shit no cap

[molten sky]

makes it easier to write desktop apps in since it's like writing a web app

[feral ledge]

that sounds fun whats that how do i use it

[naive violet]

Ah now that's a different and better reason

[fallen burrow]

but it also notoriously has terrible performance and compatibility

[molten sky]

performance is pretty horrendous and people often complain about stability issues

discord crashes for me about once daily

[naive violet]

This is a bit too violent for a professional environment.

[molten sky]

i'm on a three day no crash streak tho

[feral ledge]

discord has never crashed for me luckily

[molten sky]

it very well could be due to the fact i'm on wayland

[naive violet]

@fallen burrow Please don't encourage people to break the discord terms of service.

[molten sky]

electron + wayland = pain

[fallen burrow]

what?

oh yeahhh

I know now

[naive violet]

Third party discord clients or modifications are a breach of tos

[fallen burrow]

I forgot using 3rd party apps is illegal or what the fuck

[wide marten]

How good are you with linux?

[feral ledge]

i am fire at linux i know like 75% of the fundamentals

but thats it

[wide marten]

As defined by whom? The thm rooms?

[molten sky]

compile your own kernel and build a new desktop (virtualized if you don't have a burner)

good learning experience if bored

[feral ledge]

[feral ledge]

make a kernel huh

you guys are gonna be using my kernel for everything you do one day

[molten sky]

don't have to make a kernel (that would suck), but compile 🤷‍♂️

[shell nova]

That sounds tedious

[feral ledge]

chatgpt just did it for me

[shell nova]

Oh dear

[feral ledge]

so im done already

[molten sky]

yeah it's not a thing to sit down for 15 and do, more of a i've got time to kill this week and wanna learn thing

[fallen burrow]

build something comprehensive with lemonbar

[feral ledge]

idk what lemonbar imma find out rn

[chilly veldt]

Gotta be busy today

[feral ledge]

I love learning

learning is my passion

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/lemonbar what the hell does this men

[fallen burrow]

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/lemonbar

[chilly veldt]

I have 11 hours of work today 🙃

[fallen burrow]

literally no documentation for it, but it's fairly straightforward. Just pipe, or input text into a desktop bar through echo.

[molten sky]

aggghh discord changed again

[feral ledge]

@fallen burrow there is this https://manpages.debian.org/bookworm/lemonbar/lemonbar.1.en.html

[shell nova]

That sounds nearly illegal

[chilly veldt]

It's 2 jobs

[molten sky]

all my message requests just say No mutual servers now isntead of the actual message, so i can't bask in all my hate mail

gotta hover over them one by one

[fallen burrow]

truly one of the webapps of all time

[shell nova]

Still sounds like a shortcut to burnout then

[molten sky]

used to do 6-9 weekends at the shop when i had nothing else to do -- those were fun

[chilly veldt]

That's true, but I got vacation Friday till Monday

[shell nova]

That's called a weekend 😉

[chilly veldt]

I do 8-7 days sometimes

[chilly veldt]

I am not working both Friday and Monday

[shell nova]

Oh inclusive...long weekend then

[misty crag]

hi

[chilly veldt]

Going to conference Friday morning, getting back Sunday night and have psychologist appointment Monday

[misty crag]

.

[shell nova]

Which conf?

[chilly veldt]

Midnight Sun

[shell nova]

Sounds like fun

[chilly veldt]

It'll hopefully be, but to answer your original point, yes I am on the urge of burnout, but I have to work so much to be able to live

[molten sky]

apparently github is deprecating protected tags in favor of tag rules

[brisk tree]

You still up?

[chilly veldt]

lmao @sand trench you would love this.

[sage wolf]

chez

[molten sky]

no

[slow helm]

so guys i have this question that always getting in my mind
how hackers became hackers when there was no sources of learning like web apps : tryhackme and hackthebox etc

[molten sky]

spicy learning

[naive violet]

Hacking is a mindset
It's about wanting to understand in great detail how systems (of all kinds, not just computers) work in great detail

Good developers with lots of curiosity start to think "what if?" And we get things like sqli and xss

[nova hornet]

Where can i learn hacking giys??

[slow helm]

like you have enough knowlege abouth math that you can solve equations yourself ?.

[naive violet]

@nova hornet https://tryhackme.com

[nova hornet]

Yes.... But they are asking for premium

[slow helm]

there is some free rooms

check youtube

[nova hornet]

They give very less free rooms

[naive violet]

Skip that room and go to the free ones

[naive violet]

It's something like 70-80% free content

[nova hornet]

How many free rooms they have

[naive violet]

Hundreds.

[slow helm]

about 600

[nova hornet]

Really?

[naive violet]

Yes.

[slow helm]

yes

[nova hornet]

As a beginner which rooms should i follow first

[slow helm]

.

[naive violet]

Go to the search and filter by free/subscriber

[slow helm]

networking linux fund windows fund osi model osnit

[naive violet]

Learning paths are mostly a subscriber feature.
A path is a set of rooms.
Go for rooms individually

[naive violet]

I don't think I'd agree with that analogy

[slow helm]

i'm a mathguy

[naive violet]

I think you build an intuition for it, like you can reason how things work the way they do in maths

[slow helm]

how can i gain it

[naive violet]

It's not about solving equations, it's about understanding where and how those equations come from

[naive violet]

Practice

[slow helm]

i do but always there is something diff that faces me every time

when i reseach it it becomes more diff

[naive violet]

Take in as much info as you can, work on understanding a topic rather than just memorization

[naive violet]

This field is all about research

[slow helm]

lets take sql as a topic

[slender scaffold]

Facing different things is my work life @_@

[molten sky]

working on an ssrf and need ideas. anything valuable you can think of that's normally json on a web app? (in a standard location)

[slow helm]

its too hard

[naive violet]

Get good at research

[molten sky]

am i even able to ask that in gen?

[naive violet]

Theres a good few config file names, I wanna say applicationHost.json or something?

[slow helm]

sure

[molten sky]

hm.... sounds familiar but don't remember what that ones for.. let's take a look

ooo that ones IIS?

[wide marten]

Has that been fixed? Until very recently the search was not reliable because the rooms contained outdated information.

[slender scaffold]

what is too hard?

[naive violet]

It gets easier, but you need to work at it.
Remember the phrase "learning curve". The initial parts will be new and up hill and potentially difficult

[wide marten]

Lots of "free" rooms that have been paywalled.

[slow helm]

sql

[naive violet]

The search uses the API
The API is the source of truth.

[slow helm]

i'm too slow when it comes sql and that database stuff

[naive violet]

So focus on that for a while

Do northwind etc

[slow helm]

is that a game

[naive violet]

@nova hornet unsolicited friend requests are against the discord rules, please don't send unsolicited friend requests

[naive violet]

SQL dataset

[slow helm]

aw 😗

[nova hornet]

Okay

[wide marten]

And until recently the search showed for example all linux Fundamentals rooms as free iirc. The rooms themselves also said free at the bottom. That has been changed but must have happened within the last 10-14 days.

Ok a bit more than 14 days but not by much: #pre-security-legacy-path message

#pre-security-legacy-path message

[chilly veldt]

why is osint in that?

[slow helm]

is that advanced

[chilly veldt]

osint is not used 😄

[slow helm]

oh sorry

wrong information

[chilly veldt]

well, osint is a specific thing to do which utilities search functions

[naive violet]

Huh?

[chilly veldt]

well as a basic/first learnt thing

[sick lance]

All the rooms that were free -> Subscription have been changed to reflect that.

[slow helm]

is that the full bee movie in your profile

[chilly veldt]

yeah

[wide marten]

That's great news

[slow helm]

but how

[chilly veldt]

I hacked discord

[sick lance]

Staff must have been fed up with me pinging them

[wide marten]

So I can refer to the search now instead of the article, if somebody asks.

Is there a chat command that links to the thm search?

I don't think so.

Maybe @mossy river or @shut hawk can possibly mark is as a future addition

[sweet torrent]

i found this shi in a shop that i go to buy a few things from like headphones or even radios

[naive violet]

Yep, they're popular now the steam deck exists

Well, niche popular

[rapid merlin]

aws vs google cloud certificate?

[sweet torrent]

yes that's not the problem
the problem is that no soul in my city is gonna buy smth with 20k egp
unless they have extra money that they got by selling meth or smth

i mean as a games running only thing

[wide marten]

Azure 😛

[rapid merlin]

why?

[wide marten]

Depends where you want to go. Corporations are big on Azure because it's Microsoft and well-integrated with on-prem AD, Windows etc.
Silicon Valley startups are more AWS.
GCP is much smaller than both of them last time I checked.

[naive violet]

AWS or Azure, not GCP

GCP is tiny relative, yeah

[rapid merlin]

what about azure and cloud?

[lament lynx]

Hey everyone

Can someone help or guide me through on one of the pentest questions

[wide marten]

I don't understand the question. Azure is Microsofts branding for their cloud offerings.

[rapid merlin]

i mean if i get azure and cloud would be great ig isnt it ?

[rapid merlin]

just ask the question

[wide marten]

Azure is cloud.

[rapid merlin]

i know i meant the certificate

[sick lance]

#room-help please.

Assuming it's thm.

[wide marten]

If you plan to work in an established company with lots of Windows machines and you want to be in the security field => Azure 100%. SC-900, SC-100/200/300, AZ-500, enough certs for years to come.

[naive violet]

AZ-900?

[rapid merlin]

oh hm i see

[naive violet]

AZ-900 is super fundamental, but if you're unfamiliar with cloud I'd recommend it

[rapid merlin]

i meant azure and aws

sorry, i'm not great in english

[naive violet]

AZ-900 is an Azure certification

You go and learn about Azure then do an exam

[rapid merlin]

yeah i know that

[wide marten]

Don't mix. You're only gonna be confused. While many concepts are the same the names and configurations differ between aws and azure

[naive violet]

If you pass the exam, you get the certification

[rapid merlin]

yeah

[rapid merlin]

alright thanks yall

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @wide marten (current: #70 - 90)

[rapid merlin]

also rep

But yeah if you totally got no clue the Azure AZ-900 is a good start.

[rapid merlin]

i agree ig

[wide marten]

You can use the free Microsoft training material on learn.microsoft.com and I can't recommend enough John Saville on YouTube. He's a Microsoft employee doing Azure exam prep videos among other things.

[rapid merlin]

alright will check

[wide marten]

Every now and then there's some special event where you can get exam vouchers for free or half price.

[rapid merlin]

didnt know

[wide marten]

Or if you're a student it's permanently 45% off afaik

[rapid merlin]

great ig

there are so many AZ-900 stuff in youtube

also same as "John Saville" named guy's videos

[wide marten]

Yeah but imo he's the best. Don't spend money on anything besides the exam voucher for 900 exams. They are all simple enough to pass with free materials. The Microsoft Learn courses + some videos. No need to pay anybody.

[rapid merlin]

there are "Study Cram" and "Certification Course" i guess i'll get into "Study Cram"

because its more shorter than others

[wide marten]

Depends how good a learner you are. Some people can do just with study crams. You will find out 🤞

[rapid merlin]

yeah true

Too paranoid about missing something

[gleaming palm]

I have done Rootme, bounty hacker, brooklyn nine nine, overpass ,KoTH Food CTF, skynet, pickle rick, lazyadmin, ninja skills, basic pentesting, tryhack3m:Brick heist, creative, dreaming, expose, lesson learned, grep, capture, opacity, bugged, intermediate Nmap, Team, Brute it, include, oh my webserver, anonymous. Can you recommend some others?

[wide marten]

Must be challenge?

[random owl]

I took the new career path test thing and got incident responder but that’s like a super senior level position no?

[sweet torrent]

[deft cloak]

Haha this meme 🤣

[sweet torrent]

[sweet torrent]

[worn thorn]

a bit radical to hop of linux because of one issue

there are enough posts and docs out there to fix it.

[sweet torrent]

i didin't find anything

[sweet torrent]

would you use a pc without sound?

[sick lance]

Why do you need a copy?

Why not ask for a new fob?

[sick lance]

Did you know TryHackMe has a bug bounty ?

[deft cloak]

[jolly wasp]

Hi

which is in front of the users in etc/passwd !! or what x stands for ?

[wide marten]

In front of users? I know after. That's a placeholder where the password hash used to be in the distant past.

Nowadays passwords are in /etc/shadow

[polar wraith]

is this a mistake?

[shut hawk]

Where's that?

[polar wraith]

https://tryhackme.com/r/careers/penetration-tester#learn-from-pro

[shut hawk]

Hmm yes, seems to be

Will report it to staff

[polar wraith]

[shut hawk]

good catch!

[deft cloak]

What if I mistakenly found out of scope vulnerability... 🙂

[polar wraith]

guess ill make a good bug bounty hunter

[deft cloak]

although I am noob. But hey noob can find somethings which advance user miss that.. 🙂

[shell nova]

Well that was a quick pentest...got to admin on prod in about 20 minutes

[errant fossil]

Anyone got a good newsletter that is cybersecurity related.

or anywhere to get news around the world related to cyber

like news about leaks, attacks etc.

[polar wraith]

hackernews by ycombinator i guess

but its more programming-related

[gleaming palm]

challenge is a good room?

[errant fossil]

Alr ill check it out, Thanks for the suggestion

[pallid lotus]

Was that the goal though?

[errant fossil]

is it dangerous to have my full name online like on my social media? can any one with ill intent do much?

[lapis spruce]

fr ?

[chilly veldt]

happens to the best of us

[wide marten]

I meant if it has to be a challenge or are walkthroughs ok

[wide marten]

Wikipedia

[wide marten]

The main danger is that what you think is smart to write today will be connected to your name online potentially for the rest of your life. But you or society might develop different ideas what is smart to say in the future.

[rapid merlin]

just curuious to make my own , new gob also works

[errant fossil]

i did not even think about this, Yeah online i dont really talk about controversial topics. Best to stay silent than rant

[chilly veldt]

I hate this API SO MUCH

[worn thorn]

I would spend some of the time to search for a solution.

[shut hawk]

And if you couldn't find one?

Personally if I had a choice I'd much rather use an OS that let me have audio, that's a pretty major issue

[errant fossil]

Any example where Bus topology is used?

[worn thorn]

automation systems

[worn thorn]

You still have a choice to switch os. Can't hurt to research a bit before giving up completely.

[wide marten]

Stage lighting. Called DMX

[errant fossil]

Would this not be bad cause they can bottleneck quickly?

[wide marten]

Factories, cars. Google CAN bus.

[shut hawk]

I agree, hence why I asked if you couldn't find one

[kind narwhal]

[errant fossil]

This is good thanks, imma write this in my notes

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @wide marten (current: #70 - 93)

[worn thorn]

bus is used in low level operations like switching lights, reading in sensors etc.

[worn thorn]

cope and switch os.

[sweet torrent]

i did for so many days

[wide marten]

AFAIK these systems are designed in a way that doesn't happen. If you got a sensor on a bus that sends a thousand reads per second on the wire with 2 byte each you can plan that. It's not volatile like a PC in a computer network.

[shut hawk]

mhmmm

[wide marten]

At least that's my understanding

[uncut cove]

yesterday I completed my 100th room

gonna celebrate the anniversary by visiting Tool live show 😄

[azure swan]

would it be a good idea to put down THM rooms as skills/labs in a github repo or resume? Or would it be a better idea to make my own lab and not mention THM

[wide marten]

Just linking them? Anyone can do that. Imo worthless. Your personal write-ups? Can't hurt, might help.

[sick lance]

Create your own.

Although you're solving THM, you're not creating them.

[azure swan]

i see thank you i think ill put personal write ups on a github repo and then make my own labs seperately 🙂

[errant fossil]

Ohhh Alr now i get it , so just things that have simple actions to perform

[errant fossil]

Thanks for the help

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @worn thorn (current: #117 - 55)

[worn thorn]

yea bus is used for high frequency, low information data

ye welcome

[errant fossil]

imma type this in my notes also

[wide marten]

What are you preparing for?

[worn thorn]

I might have a diagram laying around...

[errant fossil]

Nothing at the moment. college will start in sept so just want a head start on the others

[wide marten]

I'd practice coding and Linux all day. That's where a headstart will show the most.

[sick lance]

What are you going to studying.

?*

[worn thorn]

nvm it died in the great disk cleanup of 2024

[errant fossil]

Alr i just need to setup my older laptop to run linux

[errant fossil]

T Level Transition Programme in Digital cause i was going for business management originally but since computers have been my passion i realized i will enjoy this more

[wide marten]

Where are you from if I may ask?

[errant fossil]

after this course they will make us decide what field we want to pursue

[errant fossil]

orignally from Pakistan and raised in the UAE then now living in the Uk

[wide marten]

Ah you mentioned that before

If you keep going west next stop New York city

[errant fossil]

well i plan on that in a few years time

Uk is bland to be honest

i like the skyscrapers so nyc is top priority

[signal cloud]

guys is cybersecurity worth it

[errant fossil]

With where the world is headed I would say 100%

[rapid merlin]

any suggestion for learning data science ?

[rapid merlin]

Always

[errant fossil]

cool pfp

[signal cloud]

math

[signal cloud]

can u elaborate

like why

[rapid merlin]

Thanks, well thanks to generative AI 😄

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @errant fossil (current: #1049 - 3)

[rapid merlin]

The threat landscape is constantly evolving and changing, especially with new technological developments.

[errant fossil]

thats cool that it gives that

[signal cloud]

but how is working in cybersecurity beneficial to me

[rapid merlin]

any other ?

[rapid merlin]

Yeah, took a couple of goes using my username. Thought it was cool also

[rapid merlin]

I don't, you just asked if it's worth while.

[keen forge]

I just bought a German laptop to turn into my hacking computer, and I think I already have regrets. I knew some of the keys were swapped, but why the heck is the German shift key so small?😩

[rapid merlin]

Neinnnn
