I shall give it a look!
Sigh shadows rss/feed reader is not getting updated for 8 months and there is tons of new pull requests shadow wants the features from
guess it is make a fork and merge the pull request themselves time
Congratulations by the way
thanks π
yes.... think @sick lance can help with that
They're waiting for verifitcation.
Nah, I can add and remove roles. (with the exception of CM, Mod and Infosec devoloper)
...
well if shadow recalls ninja james statement some of the higher level certs need to be verified by someone who also has those certs or similar statement
i.e mostly the ones that would give access to #advanced-general
Not enough Doritos. 7/10
on wall? thoes are not doritos =/
Nah, I can do OSCP
Doritos, the snack π
oki
yep... def not them heh
nice to know scrubz
@sick lance They left my package a whole block away at a random house lol
FFS, can't be arsed to find your address?
yeah that sounds like a policy break of some sort jabba
Does this feature seem actually practical?
naaah not currently
Was it evri?
Yeah 
Always evri
Apparently not. I put a sign on the door clearly with the address and instructions lol
anyone know any good privacy blogs?
Eh shouldn't it be bigger

@naive violet can I dm you?
day 4, just finished network fundamentals from Pre Security, will try to pass the whole module tomorrow 
Congrats.
oi @boreal scarab mind if I dm?
π«‘
@boreal scarab also get this nozzle to try
Try it yet?
How about now?
Now?
not for now
Sadge
What about now?
Hey!
anyone knows a way to make a virtual controller? For exemple to spawn another local player in rocket league (Split Screen)
w8... nop... also not for now
Probably not...
@chilly veldt
Yeah, it was cool
Yeah by buying another controller for your friend to play with
wut
hi
Here you go
@sick lance or @naive violet can help with that
If you're interested in learning cybersecurity and ethical hacking, you can #start-here and learn from beginner level
shadow can be proud that they hacked the gibson in hacknet
Discord uses an insane amount of bandwidth for a text chat.
I've had situations where I could load whole websites on mobile data but discord messages wouldn't go out.
What are your guys thought on Cve 2024 30078
rough week for microsoft ngl
whats that
a vulnerability
how bad is it
AFAIK there's no information public how it actually works and who/what is at risk under which conditions. But it's been patched a week ago.
google it
It's fixed once you install your updates
It's a lot more than just a text chat, but if you wanted to reduce bandwith you could change your settings so the users pfp doesn't show (less media)
does core isolation help
nvm its a wifi thing
Looks pretty obscure
And requires the attacker to be within range of the device
Unless someone shares media in that very moment, it functions as a text chat. If it was well designed it would prioritize sending/receiving text in the currently displayed channel when on a slow connection, and let everything happening in other channels wait.
Then text messages would immediately go out despite being on 2-3 mbit/s. And not be stuck for sometimes minutes.
Thanks for the tip though.
Gave +1 Rep to @shut hawk (current: #14 - 534)
Couldn't find any detailed info on it.
Core isolation is a system that secures an area of memory for a particular process to limit the extent of malware in certain situations
the website is bugged and wants me to enable javascript
so i cant look
Seems to work just fine
so
question
since ppl seem to shit on this stuff
does core isolation, TPM 2.0 and memory integrity
actually help anything?
nvm it works
Seems like that's a you thing, Microsoft's website is currently working.
it fixed on its own
:p
reminds me of when i was young and i would go on that inspect thing
shadow reads a tons of websites source code just to find the rss links
I love quick naps
Hated as child, valued later.
Amen
So nice to lay down and get a quick nap in before going out
Inspect element
Back to getting forced into attackboxes even though I'm connected to OpenVPN
What do you mean by "forced?
I mean when I click on any room, even on rooms that should function just fine without them, the split screen instantly pops up
Close it then
What room does this appear on?
Well unless it is making you use the attached vm
Even then only a few really do that
I've clicked on the green bubble and it isn't closing. I've already tried restarting VPN and logging out
#site-support please.
Ok
There should be a βclose split screenβ on the very top
yeah and i would click random buttons to find out their purpose
i used to think you could hack using inspect element
but its just the UI tbh
You can for client side based hacks
I though there was a room like in thm where you changed the login screen so it shows what ever you want on it. I swear that used inspect element
Ooo it was html injection
Nvm
Why is my internet speed under 2mb/s today what. Its normally around 100
Just on pc too
The ping is the same, 22ms
3 people = popping off
there were 4
3 times more than usual
I got lots of cats



I don't remember the name of the cat in my background though
:c
Flame point Siamese?
Nvm
Or regular Siamese
Flame points got like orange on em
Just my Ash-ole

Night
night!
I have a question for those more knowledgeable than myself. Is there a way when running linpeas on a machine that I can save the output into a file and have it safe the color scheme so I can download it onto my attack machine and add it to my notes so I can refer back to it instead of rerunning linpeas all the time? keeping the colors is key so I know whats what.
well to keep the color data is tricky
though you can run it from a shell established in tmux and then have a huge scroll back number set
thats kind of what I have been doing with terminator until its just to far to keep scrolling. Is there a way I can copy and paste it into a file of some sort on the attack machine and open it with s text editor or some other program? I feel like I am missing some obvious solution haha
well generally shadow just pipes things into tee to save a file of standard out
but think it does not save the color sooooo yeah
# Output to file
./linpeas.sh -a > /dev/shm/linpeas.txt #Victim
less -r /dev/shm/linpeas.txt #Read with colors
This is from the linepeas page, does that help?
Thanks I will give it a try. Seems to me if I recall right I have tried that in the past but had some type of issue possible after copying the file onto my attack machine for future use. But I cha give it a try again and see what I can do. Thank you.
Gave +1 Rep to @shut hawk (current: #14 - 535)
oooh so the -a flag is to save it with colors???
-a (all checks except regex) - This will execute also the check of processes during 1 min, will search more possible hashes inside files, and brute-force each user using su with the top2000 passwords.
never mind then
and after checking that less -r command makes you able to read the output after using tee too
dead again
will there be a ticket event soon ?
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
I meant the channel but yeah...
I thought you meant inside
I hope
@boreal scarab mind testing quad9βs terrible infra again?
I will when I get home, pit at a bar right now
Kk lol
wait what is terrible about quad9 infra????
~35% of the time for my domain they return NXDomain
the rest of the time the proper domain
It literally makes no sense
like
for 1 in {1..100}; dig mirror.0xem.ma @9.9.9.10 | grep SOA
you can see it for yourself
??? why the 10 at the end???
same thing on 9.9.9.9
so far 0 errors
iir, 9.9.9.10 has ECS on
try 9.9.9.10
im seeing it on both
@boreal scarab was too
and a few others in the US
0 errors related to S0A
TL;DR it either returns the A record, or the SOA record
shadow copy pasted the command
must only be the us locations then
yeah until shadow checked and saw the real 0
as that has a slash through it
crazy how shadow forgot the font they use destinguish those crazily good
weird
yuup marked red because grep failed to find things
i yelled at them over email so
it is marked green if shadow uses grep A
hopefully they fix it
its only quad9 with this issue
and some of their servers are clealy working
bc it returns the valid record the most of the time
not saying that quad9 is not at fault
it could just be they chose a crappy hosting service in the usa for their nodes
shadow don't have to care as they use a nextdns instance
well yeah but yours and shadows use cases are hopefully different
anyways it is sleep sloop to the beep boop for the meep moop times
My PiHole does 
Still at the bar
i just run an open dns resolver so i can use my pihole from everywhere
@mossy river we got another one
these just started coming out of nowhere again
does the malware blocking of .9 sinkhole or just fail to resolve with NX?
cause that would be the main difference between those two queries π€·ββοΈ
its random
about 35% of the time it fails
for 1 in {1..100}; dig mirror.0xem.ma @9.9.9.10 | grep SOA
interesting that they don't just do one or the other
if you wanna test
wonder what the rationale is
i sent them an angry email so
doesn't make sense to NX intentionally but companies do stupid things sometimes
Kubernetes n Things
lol
Done!

My homie Matt loves milkshakes
yall should meet him
Favorite type?
Coffee!
never knew you could be that wrong about a preference
coffee is good and all but definitely shouldn't be a favorite
frapuccino ftpw
store bought? tiger stripe, which is hard to find now, then mint choc chip (the green one).
actually good ice cream? like the thicker actually creamy kind? simple chocolate.
Fine..... Rum Raisan
You caught me
getting "my favorite pizza is hawaiian" vibes
Nah, that's Penne Vodka. See a patern?

we need those bumper stickers and signs to come back
@molten sky was it we playing chess the other day?
if i won then yes if you won then no it was beerrise
'twas you
Seriously now or messing with me? oO
nah that was me
i played a live 960 tourney the other day (first on the new account) and one of the guys was like 1570 or something. the guy was AFK and timed out. was like +370 just for a timeout lol
imagine 960 blindfold π
pls no
i forgot what 960 was and when the first game loaded i was like wtf is this what's happening
e4
How do yall like chess
@wide marten use chess[.]com?
I can make an account, 1 min...
"tryhackme community" in clubs
lets get a small group going (is new & empty)
i'd share a link but my clipboard is apparently broken
Done!
$50/day π
joined
H&u8hfw473fh back at you
It's insane for pretty much anywhere except North America, Europe, and AUS/NZ
challenged you
im blind so i returned the challenge
iirc, you only need to make ~$30,000 a year to be in the top 1% globally
15|10 oO it's 5am here
eh it may as well be 5 here as well
just being annoying to ride it out at this point lol
Can anyone provide guidance on how to send emails without revealing the sender's identity?
Whatβs this for
okay is time for more whiskey and snacks
i think i have some burrito stuff left over πΆ
Go and tell mummy and daddy you got checkmated by a pawn. Doesn't happen every day 
hold on lemme link you a game
agh
god damnit discord
i can't paste here
go to the third most recent on my profile against epwibsomething
right before yours from yesterday
another chicanery game
60 moves and half of them are just running the K back and forth lol
wait was it that one or the 63 move against mark
Why donβt yall just dm
it was the 63 move game against mark
Ok
saw it. And learned a new word, chicanery
why don't you just learn how to play
technically used wrong but it's a funny word so π€·ββοΈ
chickenery
I recommend you don't play that as white. Everyone >1500 has seen it a thousand times and you're immediately in a worse position with an exposed king
oh yeah i plan on changing things, but on a new account it was fun being able to ruy lopez every second player lol
normally people (unreated at the first lvls) would play Nf6 to mirror before queens night
monkey see monkey copy
Hello! anyone willing to hop on a call to explain some begginer stuff to me?
if you verify you can get access to the voice channels (not always active, but they exist) @jovial musk
if you wanna go crazy look into danish gambit, stafford gambit and alien gambit
i've been looking for new things to pick up so i'ma add these to my list
forgotten quite a few of my old ones after not playing for a year
any pros here wanna get on a room?
all objectively worse against someone who knows what to do but in practice you're gonna win a lot, until a certain level
sorry I don't do voice but I'm fast at typing so if you have a question...
hop on gen voice
so u can hear me
cow opening.
anna cramling
like the simple name lol
@wide marten could you hop on general voice for a min
what was the nonsense called with two bissops and two pawns or whatever?
the r/AC one....
sorry i'm in a room with a sleeping mrs. cyberterms and without headphones, can't do that
no idea
ah
anyone willing to hop on vc to help me?
but maybe we should really move that to a separate channel when people come back online π
found it. il vaticano it was called
people were posting online about how they were trying to use it in actual games and it wasn't letting them lol
two pawns flanked by two bishops capturing both inward pawns and swapping places
you are more likely to get some answer if you just type it
woah
yeah but i gotta explain the whole thing
I have ranks, just not the green one π
the thing is, how do you actaully apply things you learn in paths to real life pentesting
my god, i restarted discord and everything about the interface is different now
even how ranks present
im currently taking Jr Penetration Tester as a begginer (begginer pentester, good at programming)
so i guess my question is, am i on the right track?
house centipedes can climb walls?
what
just had a small one climb up the wall
I'd say the next step after THM paths would be solving CTF machines without help and instructions, applying your knowledge, expanding it, gaining experience and intuition. A couple of dozen and you might pass the OSCP.
But then real life is a whole different story. Many things you do during a CTF would get you fired in real life, potentially worse. You're gonna have legal documents telling you what you can and can't do on which machines/networks, how you have to react if you find a vulnerability, who to call if discover sensitive data on a server etc. Much more regulated, organized. You're working on real systems that if dispruted could cause massive financial losses. Not sure if that answers your question.
to hide sender's identity
The gold standard entry level (some will argue it's not entry level) penetration testing certification. Consists of a 2x 24h exam and costs a lot of money: https://www.offsec.com/courses/pen-200/
im currently also subscribed to codecademy.com, so im also taking courses in css, jss, and html
Sometimes your job will pay or it
idk if both things go together
Then just keep learning, start doing CTFs, here or on competitor platforms, watch youtube, read blogs, get better. Maybe you can turn it into a career. You have years to find out. Don't pressure yourself.
yeah but if i dont turn it into a carrear didnt i just waste my time?
important clarification ---
OSCP is an entry level penetration testing certification.
It is NOT an entry level cybersecurity certification.
dont get me wrong, i enjoy it a lot
but like, should i do codecademy.com or tryhackme.com or both
do both things go together?
different domains
just do what you enjoy
don't burn yourself by doing too much either
- Most people have hobbies they don't make money with. That's enjoying life, not wasting time
- Even if you don't turn this into a career, the skills you learn along the way will help you in any computer-related job
"if I don't become a mechanic am i just wasting my time" --- no enthusiast ever
Well code academy is for uh code. Definitely helps tho
fair enough
I dont think you really waste time if you are learning things, even if you end up doing something else entirely. You're only 15 too π you'll be doing lots of that!
also, you know those CTF where you have an ip address but no website
what does that simulate?
being near the machine?
cuz ik attacking a website simulates... atacking a website
not all servers host websites
but what does the other things simulate
^
active directory isn't a website, databases aren't websites, CDNs aren't websites...etc
^
explain like im a 5yr old
chat gpt moment
Often it's not supposed to simulate any real life scenario, then it's just a game. Depends on the box. An active directory domain is not a website but you'll find it in every large company.
been getting to used to that
oh youre new here?
webwebsites and webapps make up a minority of services. these websites have to get their information from somewhere as well, and that somewhere will be other servers that aren't websites
yes
websites are hosted on servers. servers are computers. computers have ip addresses.
gotcha
thats the best way i could explain it
APIs aren't websites but they are a critical component of modern web apps, mobile apps, and connected hardware
now you are speaking on my level
btw, do you guys think Jr pentester is a good start?
cuz ive been understanding but am i getting ahead of myself?
can be. if it's too hard, you can always step back. if it's too easy, you can always step up.
i took cs50
nope
Great choice
you probably gonna start with a blue team
i have the subscription
https://discordapp.com/channels/521382216299839518/680459914828972076/1165745966155046952
this is an order that lots of people like / use
and learn how to protect stuff
i mean it's not like you're being a specific course for tons of money, you can always switch pathways within thm if one doesn't feel quite right
ive been feeling greate on jr pentester
fr
i mean, i dont know how to use nmap and stuff (only basic) but i feel like im not supposed to know more than i do
do what you enjoy the most
also got my schools chromebook to run kali linux
it doesn't hold your hand nearly as much as the earlier ones but it also doesn't throw you right into the deep end
so i use openvpn
something i noticed is trying to figure out what someone should "do first" is a terrible way of approaching the field. Look around at the boxes and find stuff that seems interesting to you, because if not you will feel overwhelmed
i LOVE web exploiting
more than all the other stuff
Then you wanna know more about OWASP
then keep pwning boxes relating to that
And get into using Burp Suite
im not that deep into
is there any begginer pwning boxes?
like, step by step boxes?
or should i save them
(community version is fine -- don't pay for it unless you know you need to and you know why you need to)
OWASP Juice Shop. Not sure how beginner friendly, but it's a webapp designed to be broken in various ways, using different techniques
there is nothing wrong with using write ups to understand boxes you dont quite get yet
Search for walkthroughs
ive done it i think
sqli right?
ctf?
This one: https://tryhackme.com/r/room/owaspjuiceshop
But in general juice shop is an open source application you can download and self-host as well.
that is a fun beginner box
several
As long as you don't hack like @molten sky plays chess you have nothing to worry about
oof
ok il keep you guys updated
glhf
thanks
i wish i could share screen but im doing it from my chromebook
i havent done burpsuite basics though
And don't get stupid ideas like hacking the school website. There's no wifi in prison.
thats fine right?
You will be using it a LOT in juice shop, i'd say get familiar with it at least
ok so ive been watchin my John Hammond
ik i gotta nmap
whats the differences between -T5
like, why would you want to be sneaky
also, why does nmap describe it as "not being rude" when using a higher volume
you don't want to wake the detection systems put in.
yeah i was going to ask
The more aggressive you scan the higher the chances of getting detected. And you're causing network load and (potentially) use ressources on the target. Not much, but still.
i found a vulnerability in a wordpress site but it redirects me to worddefence
so is that vulnerablility obsolete? or is it just harder to apply
Whose wordpress site?
mine .-.
i put wordpress and tried to hack into it
so is the vulnerability obsolete
does something like wordpress make the website immune
No. Vulnerabilities get discovered in wordpress and wordpress plugins all the time
not really as it can't defend against everything
If you run a public server with wordpress you're gonna see constant scans in the logs, looking for unpatched vulnerabilities
btw i run nikto on juiceshop and everything returns a "might be interesting" idk why
gotcha
Chat
woah now
i have no rebuttal but woah now
I joined rootme room with the open vpn file provided and run scans with nmap, but now that I spawned a new machine on the same room it doesn't work
The host is down
And I spawned two new ips while being connected to the same vpn
Help anyone?
Damn
that was also only like 2 minutes and at the quietest part of the evening
gotta give it a min sometimes for someone who's able
just an fyi but the mods don't like when you say the actual thing
they don't want someone who doesn't know better to actually run it and do damage
( i know cause i said it )
I did although no one's gonna answer π£οΈ
I didnt want to say it but... there ya go :p
but I have this blue purple now
blurple
blueberry role
also that's new aint it
yeah pretty recent
anyone else have it yet?
A dolphin is here
why is using nikto frowned upon?
just kidding. We're much closer in strength than I am to an IM
..it is?
hello π how are you?
i heard
Greetings! I am good and well. (I'm talking to a dolphin)
excellent
obviously play some very casual stuff at night cause bored but tryna get back into proper real games as well---tryna get rated for once so i can see where we stand and build up
fide is a pain but uscf is easy enough locally
I've never played a rated game in my life π
genuinely curious where i stand when actually trying
nothing notable ofc but it gives a reference point
curious where........ not something i see every day but never heard of it being discouraged. maybe it was a contextual thing? π€·ββοΈ
I like chess, it is a simple yet complex game
anyone plays osu?
Hello dolphin. playing any DMC recently ?
Nice, i got the vergil OG sking but my controller broke down π
aww
Not very hard isn't it ? The V missions on Hell and Hell are a pain tough
I thought it was pretty hard, haha
but I did it with Vergil, so no official achievement anyway. Next up is Nero and the gang
DeadWeight !
S ranked Bloody Palace too
I haven't played with them in so long i'm scared to try it 
Taunts for the S rank are nice
specially the Dante one <3
haha, Im looking to git gud with Dante but it will be a lot of work. Took me a long time to get good with Vergil, so Dante is gonna be some work
did you hear about the Capcom super elections recently? DMC won 1st and 2nd place, with some luck we might get a new installment after all π
No i didn't hear it, let me check it out real quick
Dante's gameplay can be complicated at first, 3 styles lots of weapons and guns, it's all about how you chain attacks together while doing block/evasion with royalguard/trickster
the SDT 'hack' when on SSS is a real life saver
uhuh, Ive been playing for a long time. But style switching real time wasnt an option back then heheehe
God it feels bad when you spend way too long trying to figure out why a room isnt working and you can't even access the site before you realize that you're not connected to the VPN
Get used to fat finger it and get git by stupid jobbers when going for no damage runs 
jobbers?
Yeah the small time enemies
Just saw it, pizza man got 1st !!! Capcom really did it with 5 .... I really wished that was more content to the game rather than just the usual
yeah the style switching is throwing me off. Already deeply focused on doing and remembering the combo sequences................. im too old for this. I end up defaulting to just use trickster and swordmaster π₯²
yeah I really hope they realise now that we really want new DMC content, hehe. And actually act on it. Even just remakes like they are doing with RE would be amazing tbh
DMC1 and 3 with a modern look and updated combat system π― hell yeah
if you are interested in the story itself, I can recommend Visions of V
I really hope they remaster 3, it will be the end of my social life if that game is launched
yep
Did you read the mangas ?
yeah π
The dmc3 prequel
yeah that was crap though
but I really liked Visions of V and looking forward to whatever Netflix is gonna do
Wait, what ????
Don't say it
jackpot?
yes
the old anime is like 500 yrs old

About Netflix:
Netflix is one of the world's leading entertainment services with over 238 million paid memberships in over 190 countries enjoying TV series, films and games across a w...
this was announced last year and supposed to release this year, but there hasn't been any news on it at all
it looks like it may be DMC3 prequel stuff, thats kind of what people have theorised through these 5 seconds of preview π
its not going to be cannon though
Netflix has a nasty habit of doing bad adaptations
its a bootleg universe thing. But the director is a fan and Itsuno is involved too, so it will probably be fun π
That's better
yeah Im OK with that
π― and then a Sparda prequel pls capcom, thx
honestly I was very surprised by the election results. I thought DMC was going to get drowned out by RE and all hope for new DMC games was gonna be lost forever, so I was very excited when the results came out π
There is definitely a new game coming, i just hope it doesn't take several years to launch like the previous ones
it will probably
unless they let someone other than Itsuno take it
but he kinda implied he was done with the franchise? The DMC team is also the Dragons Dogma team, so they just wrapped up a new DD. They probably havent been working on a new DMC
Vote Dante 666 for president β
dmc fanbase is motivated
as I would expect from this team yeah π but the game has some performance issues I heard? One of my friends ragequit it for that reason π₯²
I havent tried it myself
If only i had a PS5 ...
thats what i thought during lockdown, then i grew up and realised the reality in the job market (10%)
the lets start early moto. realised the early was super late π
I'm using a subscription can somebody tell me how to add more hours to attackbox not the target machine
anybody???
does anybody know the correct channel for asking about metasploit payloads?
Hi guys, I've got a question regarding setting up a honey pot on a static site, as I know I can only do that through setting up logging with apache and creating custom code, however, I am running on GitHub so there is no viable way other than client server side scripting.
Now here comes the problem. From my understanding you cannot run nginx commands through Gh pages, now what can I do?
PS (I know I can selfhost , setup fail2ban and server side scripts, but I trust the protection of a trillion dollar company with teams that monitor stuff, rather than myself)
You'll need to change platform yes
Is it for TryHackMe?
A lot of the bots won't even run JS so no client side code either
The thing is I know it can be done, some Russian guy on an obscure forum did it, but I cannot find the post.
The internet is full of people making wild claims that aren't true.
no π
Then what's it for?
for.......... helping my grandma

mb
What is it it really for?
uh...
my dying grandma asked me to make her a payload
her deathwish ig π€·ββοΈ
Ok.
I'm going to assume you're either trolling, and/or you're doing something illegal.
We will not help you In the server π
nono it's not illegal
im only trying it out for myself
It's your word against your actions.
like I won't spread it or anythig
Your actions win.
damn okay 
nice community tho! 
its way better than other ones
they threatened me when I asked about it
No threats here, we just don't assist with anything that is illegal/unethical.
alright I understand, thank you for your time
@sick lance I've always wondered, do you guys apply international law, or do you guys just use USA law to decide what is illegal; some countries do not have stringent Cyber Security laws, or would you just ignore the question altogether?
California and UK law.
Ah gotcha
Justification is that THM is a UK company and California is the jurisdiction that your ToS agreement with discord sits in
I was about to write that part. Lol
was wondering about the cali part. makes sense.
morning
Did you in the meantime manage to actually read the law you linked to yesterday as source for your claim?
Specifically the part a couple of paragraphs below the title where it explicitly states intercepting by any person who is "party to the communication" is "not unlawful"?
It's crucial to read sources before relying on them, or you risk being confidently incorrect π
Are you actually rehashing a debate because you're bored?
I wanted to know if you found time to read the law you used as a source. Yesterday you hadn't. Pure curiosity.
I think it's strange you think about me, but there we go.
don't worry scrubz i think about you too

Welcome.
I got into the finals for the ctf for Cyber battle Australia. However, im wondering where to look to sharpen my skills for forensics.
There were questions for finding info in wav files, converting pixels to RGB numbers and then decoding a message from that. Along with this star puzzle i still have not figured out and finding the difference between two pictures that look exactly the same or so it seems
Has this ended?
This ended last week on the friday or so
I got a friend request from a minor. I don't want to accept it because it's a minor but I hate being rude to a young upcoming ethical hacker who id like to encourage to learn as well...
π
If the pictures are bitmaps with same resolution you could import them to gimp or Photoshop as layers and play around with different algorithms for merging the layers. "Difference" sounds promising.
Not really a dilemma.
Refuse and move on.
I didnt take a picture of the question sadly, i just saved the files which was provided in two zip files
Both are the same jpg it appears on the surface, but i can try the gimp option
Have you searched if somebody has done a writeup?
Might be more subtle and require mathematics, but shouldn't take more than a minute to try.
For the record: that's what I'm doing.
I could prob just ask the discord that hosted it. The event managers havent given any writeups and two teams solved that question
But who knows, i did get the answer for the .wav file one and figured out to use the sonic visualiser tool
Would be interested to learn what it was if you find it out. Specifically the photo difference thing.
Is there something hidden in the picture?
I'm no where near my vm.
And I'm not sure if Discord will change anything when you send the picture here.
Thats a good point. here is the exact original files that were provided
Random .zips are always kinda problematic.. personally I don't download and open them on my machine
Overlay images, change overlay mode to show differences
Because of zip bombs or what?
Not really any different to most file types
Because of zips having often been used for malicious purposes in the past. I might be over cautious, just my personal judgment.
You need a better AV then
One of the questions were to find a hidden flag within a .wav file
Did you get it?
That was a fun one, i learnt after the event that i had to use the sonic visualiser tool
Looked like this
I didn't say I had personally been the victim. Haven't had malware problems in 20 years. Whether that's because it's so rare or I'm so hesitant... idk
There is a room on THM that had a similar challenge.
I didn't say you had either. It's a risk mitigation and reduction step.
And goddamn, 20 years is cyber is a whole landscape shift. Get with the times...
Fun challenge: write a tool in a language of your choice that encodes text in this way
Just chuck the file into virustotal anyway
I don't even have to check who sent them all.
it was a demonstration of a discord poll
I hate the use of "file system" in Linux. ext4 is a "file system", /proc is a "file system", the whole Linux directory tree is "the file system". All different things.
And now I want to coherently explain to somebody what a file system is without being technically incorrect in some way 
I take it you are known to be somewhat of a joker on this server? 
i don't know that word
Chicanery
i wonder when my last thm related Q was
Are you gonna invite more people to the chess[.]com group? Maybe it's enough for a server tournament one day
Already been done, iirc
the only one i saw had 5 members and was banned
@gray sonnet -- did you not organise one a couple of years back?
anyone who's around --- only set to private so non thm people don't join, but anyone is welcome
During my time, and I didn't ban it π€·ββοΈ
it just didn't gain enough traction haha
no, chess[.]com banned it
Oh, lmao
Because?
does the chess thread still exist?
not sure of the actual reason but the bio seemed to imply your account being "in play" as well for lack of a better word
yes
You ranking up π !
yeah lmfao
Oh?, did you get the same color some where else too?
Elite Boi!
I think
Fluff Clan. 
hahaha
How many rooms so far?
I honestly don't know lol
Yo is anyone familiar with CI/CD pipelines? I have a lil problem
morning
I have a joke for you
!
Morning Kyooty!
what is it π
let me dm.
aight
I should go get ready π
what you askin'?
problem tldr;?
π
I have a dentist appointment in 2 hours, and it takes 54 minutes to drive there
#ci-cd-and-build-security if it's the THM room.
Please leave Owlsec stuff to Owlsec.
No drama in here please.
@rapid merlin ^^^^
Thank you Scrubz. β€οΈ
I think there is no problem at all lmao, so I made a pipeline to deploy my code to my server whenever I do a commit/push to master branch on Github (So I can automatically git pull whenever an update happens to master branch), the problem I thought I had is with the authentication(because when I did it manually I had to authenticate via a PAT because I was pulling the code from Github to my server via HTTPS and not SSH) but in this pipeline since I'm connecting to the server via SSH and via Github actions from my repo I don't need to authenticate with a PAT (I guess?)
Thanks for telling me But I don't think its related (hope its not way too off-topic from general tho)
Gave +1 Rep to @sick lance (current: #1 - 2420)
It's not related, but it's not off-topic. π
hi
Hello
Blue shield looks better imo.
lets not give windows more than it has
the intros for original superman are so long
what are you doing here in this timezone
can't sleep because anxiety, decided to harass Emma as it's been a while
sensible
Also it's been a while since I've popped in here
indeed
Eyy Dolphin! Long time!
Hello hello π
How are you doing?
I'm doing great π Finally have some time to myself haha
putting on glasses after sleeping feels like switching from 144p to 1440p
Vain, tbh, I'm surprised you're not God level yet
he just upgraded like, yesterday or something?
Nekat! Hai, yeah haha, haven't been doing lot of THM lately
yup, getting back on the THM grind to get god lol
still getting used to blue vain
hahaha, been green for over 2 years haha
ahh great π
is true, or even like going from fully groggy to splashing some water in your face and rubbing the sleep out of your eyes
Getting used to a none green dolphin is worse.
is cyber sec the reason you wear glasses
nah bro I'm just blind af
oh
-4 on both
same here π
Hold up, when did community legend become a thing? How long have I been gone for
only a recent thing but it has been 2 centuries at least since you were here last
I thought I was -3
a couple years
is it reversable in your case
I'm not... that.... old.... okay I'm old
idk
have you ever tried not wearing glasses for a long time
I have been taking care of my eyes way more than before so it should either slow down the process or improve something
yeah
how did that go
um
blurry
I couldn't see a thing
good thing I have good sense of direction and good memory
it doesn't hurt
wearing glasses doesn't hurt either
Waaaaaa......
I broke my glasses once
so
I was blind for a while
then I got quality and strong Oakley glasses
dayum
quality, strong, and $$$$$$
but they feel so nice
I have one complaint about them
the handles or whatever they are called
are sharp because premium materials
so they dig into the corner of my ear
ow you should get that adjusted
but they can adjust it for you in the shop, why would you choose to stay in discomfort?
the handles are adjustable but it doesn't help
hm
it's normal tho
look at it in images
well.. idk, I had the same problem, got them adjusted. All was good, worth a try Id say
maybe a bit of sandpaper, or some 3D printed caps?
they don't DIG
they just
dig in when I have been wearing them the whole day
just slightly
they stay on your head by hugging your head
put some padding around it? Glasses socks π
they don't go over the ear
+1 for glasses socks
i no like
We need to start a social movement, #makeDolphinGreenAgain
oh its the other yellow user who doesnt belong in this timezone 8)
TIL people call it PAT (makes sense tho)
shush
good morning, new day, new powers to learn cyber security on THM 
yo there is actually a problem lol

could anyone help me with this error in OPENVPN
it was working fine yesterday. Now, even the autofill(tab) doesn't work with the command 'openvpn'
damn
Try running it with the "sudo"
lmao
oh....
If this doesn't solve it, come #site-support
Lol no worries it happens
how was your day
not too bad, finished up some long running tickets
how about yours, or is it just starting?
Yep. with a coffee
Oh, must be tiring
Yay. Do you put milk in your coffee?
ah not really, I requested this ticket so I'm happy they gave me the time and space to do it π
nah just black
I don't like bitter so i do put some milk
fair enough
Im not a fan of milk in general, or icecream type of food. It's the consistency or something, im not sure π€
how about sugar in your coffee/
I see I see
how come
It's the reversing challenge
ahhh
I can't sleep without solving
well, did you learn lots? Have fun? May be worth a little bit of a messed up sleep schedule for a bit π
smart
Well, not intentionally
Depression is an exception
let me not hold you, have a good night
π
aww, dw, haha. You take care of yourself!
Why does it look like cheese a bit
hi
@mellow patrol can you dm me please.
I'm not removing the mute until you do so.
Can I take the time to remind you this is a PG13 environment.
Well that's not at all creepy
Not the first thing I've seen today that is creepy.
im not fully sure but i think its when you verify yourself
oh
yeah you can from here https://help.tryhackme.com/en/articles/6495858-discord-how-do-i-verify-my-tryhackme-account
