[pallid lotus]

At all. I thought it was 2022

[sick lance]

Im also younger than fluff/Hydra.

[pallid lotus]

30, indeed. 31 soon

[sick lance]

Ah, he's a Leo.

[pine stratus]

I've done all the unethical stuff, so you don't have to 😄

[pallid lotus]

32

I know it's between 30 and 35

[candid niche]

I'm going away for a couple of weeks in a a month or so and due to space and weight ill just be taking a chromebook with me, I should be able to keep up my THM streak with just the attack box yeah? have only ever used the VPN on my VMs

[sick lance]

Hydra is only 35?

[pallid lotus]

Don't even need that technically

[pallid lotus]

Fluff is

Not sure about Hydra

[pulsar spade]

you'll be alright mate

[sick lance]

Hydra is older

[pulsar spade]

dunno if a chromebook can even run chrome these days though

[sullen hearth]

Old but gold. Period

[pallid lotus]

So are you saying you're not younger than 35?

[chilly veldt]

I need a ventilator in my apartment

holy hell I am melting

[sick lance]

I'm saying I'm inside that age range.

[pallid lotus]

Okay, so, 32 it is then

[shut hawk]

Bruh I thought you were 40 something

💀

[cold jungle]

Come to India you will thank god that your apartment is still not that hot

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @chilly veldt (current: #7 - 848)

[sick lance]

I'm not that old.

[sullen hearth]

I am the oldest i guess.

[pallid lotus]

Old enough to have, what, 2 kids? 👴

[cold jungle]

Can you share your notes?

[pallid lotus]

Do you take notes of your own?

[cold jungle]

I do

[candid niche]

my sister was that "age" when she was 19

[cold jungle]

But I still I don't have that much yet

[shell nova]

Some people have kids early

[cold jungle]

Just started if you could share that would help me understand better how to take notes and all

[shell nova]

Nah I'm older

[pallid lotus]

Christ. Well that's sobering

[shell nova]

Some people are reckless as well it seems

[pallid lotus]

With the greatest respect: lunatics 😆

[shell nova]

Sure

[sick lance]

Kids are a blessing. 🙂

[shell nova]

Though you keep up better when you're a bit younger

Than 30 anyway

[sullen hearth]

They're very important. Without notes, everytime i would boot from zero ^^

[pallid lotus]

Everyone is different with this. Personally I like a hierarchical style of layout. Do what works for you. Experiment with different styles until you find something you liked then stick with it.
You should aim to never need to solve the same problem twice.

[cold jungle]

understood, Would take note of this as well

[pallid lotus]

Note down anything you think will come in handy down the line. Everything you learn. Every new topic, links to tools, concepts, things you've heard but don't understand yet.
As long as you keep organised, you'll be a lot stronger for it overall

[jagged moon]

hierarchical gang

[candid niche]

I keep my notes in a program called "Obsidian" and just create a new file for each tool, concept or topic that I come across that im learning.

Name
Quick description of what it is, what its used for and why.

Syntax
Example of how its used

[pallid lotus]

Obsidian is great... Until you start developing malware, or doing anything else that Windows classes as malicious

[cold jungle]

Hey

[pallid lotus]

Then storing your notes in plaintext becomes a bit of an issue

[sullen hearth]

Best one for me.

[candid niche]

honestly didnt even think about the malware aspect and WIndows kicking up a fuss about it haha, Thank you for that early warning. Definitely something I will keep an eye on

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @pallid lotus (current: #9 - 772)

[cold jungle]

Yes, I also started using it from yesterday

[pallid lotus]

I like Trilium personally. Does most things that Obsidian can do. Doesn't store notes in plaintext on the disk. Built in sync, etc. It's a neat bit of software

[jagged moon]

Making stuff organized and searchable is very important in the notes too. Don't know how many times i looked for stuff by faint terms. The stuff i thought I'll never forget

[sullen hearth]

Obsidian works great and you'll see the connection between some things if you take the time to link it

[pallid lotus]

But, again, do whatever works for you

[candid niche]

I'll check out Trilium (:

[cold jungle]

What to use in that case?

[pallid lotus]

Trilium gang!

[sick lance]

Does @shell nova have children?

[jagged moon]

Trilium gang!

[shell nova]

Yeah

[sick lance]

Oh OSWE friends.

[shell nova]

That

[pallid lotus]

I like Trilium. As does Fluff
Realistically, whatever you want though. I know people who use OneNote / Evernote. I know some who use Joplin. Trilium is awesome.
I'd suggest not using CherryTree for anything big, but it's great for projects as well.
Thing @tired peak had another one she liked too?

[shell nova]

Obsidian is nice, but defender gets mad at exploit code

[sick lance]

I use OneNote for my uni stuff

[jagged moon]

I saw people be ultra efficient in onenote, so i don't discard anything

[pallid lotus]

Just ask both Spooky and Cry

Half of spooky's notes disappeared the morning he sat OSEP lmfao

[shut hawk]

Notion is nice

[candid niche]

Is OneNote free, or is it tied into the Microsoft suite sub?

I have it free through my uni but dont want to get too comfortable if I decide to not pay for it myself after study is over

[shut hawk]

Only downside is you need an initial internet connection

[pallid lotus]

Oh yeah, knew I forgot one. Notion is sleek. Potential issues with not having full control over the hosting, but it's sleek

[sick lance]

I tbink you get so much free.

[shut hawk]

Windows+. ?

[sullen hearth]

I've tried notion for programming but it was a mess. But everyone has to check what works. Maybe it was my bad but if notion gets down your notes as well.

[sick lance]

Maybe it's allocated to how much you get cloud storage free with an Outlook account (5GB Maybe?)

[shell nova]

They also seem to randomly like deleting infosec related stuff

[candid niche]

yeah looks like it, after a little digging found that you can only save to the cloud not locally unless you pay

[shut hawk]

I've recently switched from a hierarchy structure to a flat structure for my notes, surprisingly works quite well

[jagged moon]

Their edr may fuck you

[sick lance]

Some my Notion notes went missing, I'm guessing they didn't like my malware notes

[sick lance]

I think it was fixed.

[jagged moon]

Meggy was storing jndi payloads. 403

[shut hawk]

Definitely emphasis on backlinks and tags

[shut hawk]

When was this?

[sick lance]

Way back in September.

[jagged moon]

Zettelkasten style?

[gray sonnet]

Fluff! Hai

[sick lance]

I only recently checked.

[shut hawk]

Yep!

[pallid lotus]

They certainly destroyed Mega's stuff when he was taking log4shell notes lmao

[sullen hearth]

Could be but im not sure. I've used it for just two weeks. No cloud sync or anything like that.

[cold jungle]

Hey @jagged moon how long does it took you to crack all those exams?

[pallid lotus]

One of the big reasons I like self hosted notes

[sullen hearth]

Is it called like that?? 😂😂

[pallid lotus]

See, I like a mixture. Why have one when you can have both?

Do a tree, with backlinks and clones

[shut hawk]

I asked and their notes just got temporarily blocked, never destroyed

[pallid lotus]

Fair

[jagged moon]

I am slow due to busy full time job. So one a year. But it's not needed

[shut hawk]

But I do understand your point of self hosting

[pallid lotus]

Reminds me, I need to look into clustering

[shut hawk]

That definitely works, problem with doing it on notion is that it's only one parent so can be difficult to workout what goes under which

[jagged moon]

[pallid lotus]

True

Lmfao

[shut hawk]

You can do most actions with keyboard shortcuts, become a power user!

I am a lazy mouse user 😞

[candid niche]

wait until you hear about Ctrl + c & Ctrl + v! 😉

[sullen hearth]

Would recommend it. You will be lightning fast

https://tenor.com/view/flash-meme-cartoon-drawing-derp-gif-26650963

But i just started at vs code with shortcuts 3years ago so im not in the position to say something ^^

[pallid lotus]

Generally that's to make it clear that they're copying and pasting. Keyboard shortcuts don't show up well on screen.

You do get software which displays your keypresses, but most folks don't seem to use it

[cold jungle]

Thats for demostration purpose I guess so that the person watching would know what he copied
Edit: I didn't see the muiri response...

[jagged moon]

Heh

I saw a cool overlay that did toast notifications

Like "copied: ssh root@host"

Like on the phone

[shut hawk]

all fun and games until you copy your password

@chilly veldt

[pliant cairn]

Gonna be hell of a ride

[tired peak]

Notion

[sullen hearth]

I worked at one as i worked for harley. Was fun but i enjoy my to wheels.

[pallid lotus]

Really, I could have sworn you have a lightweight local one at some point. Apologies!

[tired peak]

joplin for a while

but I switched to Notion after that

[mossy river]

Helloo how is everyone?

[pallid lotus]

Nah, wasn't Joplin. Something paid for, but iirc a one off payment

[tired peak]

OH, I almost forgot about that

[crude stump]

Good

[tired peak]

Typora (I did forget)

Typora is good and lightweight. I can tell you that I don't take a lot of notes these days 🤣

[shut hawk]

Typora is a lovely text editor

[pliant cairn]

I use leafpad lol

And notion for everything else

India vs England match is gonna start in 2 hours. Its gonna be so fun. Can't wait.

Fun fact. That actually is where the admin portal is. You just need to find it.

Just remember though, no automated scanning of out-of-scope targets. You'll need to manually try a few endpoints 😁

[sullen hearth]

@rapid merlin what was the payment for you in ur country for A+

253 for 1101 and 1102?

Ah thanx. Was on the comptia hp.

I'll do some warm up questions

[uncut cove]

hi!

did you pass it?

wow, congrats. what did you use to prepare for it?

I wonder if it aleviates the career as much as CompTIA says it does 😄

And it's one of the certs needed to complete the Security Technician path, if I'm not mistaken

[agile flicker]

I need some help

[sick lance]

With what?

[agile flicker]

So I used little big mouse

and it turned off my second display

it said its not active

and I don't know how to connect it again

[sick lance]

Do you have a 4K monitor and an HD one?

[agile flicker]

The HDMI is in, power, everything is correct but in settings it says my display isn't active

[agile flicker]

Where do I check?

but I believe so yes.

[uncut cove]

good luck! I hope you earn the certs in no time

[sick lance]

You don't know the devices you purchased?

[agile flicker]

Yep, where do I check the input source?

[agile flicker]

let me check

[tired peak]

did you try... rebooting?

[agile flicker]

yes

Display 1: DELL S2721HGF

Display 2: RW-W2213SG

[uncut cove]

I'm going for aws certified cloud practitioner atm

[sick lance]

Neither are 4K

Most people I know who use LBM has 4k and an HD.

Can windows detect them?

[agile flicker]

yes

display 2 is shown as a small display

but its not..

[sick lance]

Did you do what Zojja suggested an rebooted?

[tired peak]

rebooting surprisingly solves a lot of problems

I wouldn't assume that

https://tenor.com/view/itcrowd-reboot-gif-4770974

[agile flicker]

Okay

I fixed it

thanks 🙂

[tired peak]

how'd you fix it? was it a reboot? 🤣

[clear jackal]

I read an article the other day talking about people how don't really know what rebooting is because things have been called Restart for a while

[agile flicker]

Nah, I installed the newest windows since I read some stuff online, so I just installed the newest windows

[tired peak]

what

[agile flicker]

like version

[tired peak]

in 2 minutes you installed the latest windows?

[clear jackal]

Afaik, they mean to separate things though. Even though they have somewhat merged recently

[loud marlin]

it's called restart from ages of dinosaurs, as i remember...reboot is also new for me...

[sick lance]

That was the fastest instalation/update to the newest Windows ever...

[agile flicker]

wait

[tired peak]

on unix, it is still reboot

[agile flicker]

software update I mean

[tired peak]

did the software update include... a reboot?

[agile flicker]

💀

Ye

But

I tried the rebbot before hand

[sullen hearth]

Ah you buy just one of them.

[agile flicker]

reboot

[loud marlin]

fair yes. restart i remember was when i had win 95 and so

[tired peak]

I think A+ should be fine without a second retake

[uncut cove]

My first attempt was 5 points less than the passing score, so I decided to buy an app with 680+ practice questions. Actually, there are apps like this one that are even free, so it is also a good way to practice anywhere you want

[sullen hearth]

I saw both with a little self study guide and retake for 630 bugs. Its a word hey... Idk.

[pallid lotus]

[cold jungle]

Its not free

[pallid lotus]

Aw

[cold jungle]

Wtf????? Its a youtube redirect

you've been rickrolled, baby

[sullen hearth]

Yt hacking try. See you in court.

[sick lance]

Not all the commands got transferred over. 😦

I can't get my GPU to get my displays.

And it's annoying.

[timid prism]

whats a good one with stylus?, on android tab which i can sync on phone

[shut hawk]

No idea, sorry

[rapid merlin]

question

anyone know

phones

[sick lance]

Yeah, Samsung, Nokia, Blackberry, iPhone

[rapid merlin]

i meant

comparing one phone to another

[sick lance]

You know, you'd get an answer so much faster if you just ask the question.

[rapid merlin]

do i get a huawei p50 pro

or my xiaomi mi 10t pro

[sick lance]

Two phones I don't know.

I'm about to upgrade and unsure if I should get the pixel 8 Pro or S24

Prob the pixel.

[stray oracle]

Macroglossum stellatarum

[polar wraith]

why cant this be something like "ye/no" lol

[sick lance]

Bless you.

[stray oracle]

hehe 😄 🤭

[cold jungle]

Am enjoying the music on loop

[hollow pivot]

I mean, they're pretty much the same thing

[polar wraith]

ikik trivial af but just saying

never heard "nay"

[cold jungle]

s24 with no question

[hollow pivot]

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/nay

[cold jungle]

Compare both specification,
Software update frequency
Year of os update and security patch
After sale service
Most important UI exprience

[empty parcel]

There doesn't seem to be a channel for this room but it was a good one!
Reading write-ups afterwards (I just loaded a script and waited when the bruteforce-protection wanted me to 🤷‍♂️ ), I noticed that my foothold was different from the other users' 💪 (not sure if that was intended?)

[rapid merlin]

p50 pro is better
apollo is stuck on android 12
EMUI 12 is android 13 i think
its identical
i prefer EMUI slightly slightly

[cold jungle]

For me I would go with Xiami

xiaomi*

[hollow pivot]

Room channels get archived a bit after they're released

[rapid merlin]

why

[cold jungle]

Because there is plenty of custom rom available for them

[sick lance]

Eh, I've had a Samsung since they released S4, i might be time for a change.

[cold jungle]

Not sure about huawei

[rapid merlin]

but

[polar wraith]

oh shiz

[rapid merlin]

i dont wanna custom rom

i cant on the p50 pro

cuz of warranty and stuff

im on a custom rom rn

[cold jungle]

Yeah, then go with pixel but you will surely miss the s24 touch

[sick lance]

The archived channel for Hijack can be found [here](#release-help-archives message)

[cold jungle]

Its just another level

[cold jungle]

Even after installing custom rom you can actually claim warranty

[rapid merlin]

not really

[cold jungle]

If you reupload the official rom

[rapid merlin]

on xiaomi you can

if you use mi unlock

idk man

what would u pick for daily driving

the p50 pro is so sexy imo

and has better specs

(NO SIDELOADING PLEASE.)

[cold jungle]

Well as I said earlier I don't have much idea of huawei phones as they are hardly availaibe in India

[crude stump]

i just now realised kali has a root terminal

[cold jungle]

Seriously????

[crude stump]

yeah

[rapid merlin]

Outcast is one of the best ppls I know.

[cold jungle]

Bruhhhh

[rapid merlin]

well

huawei phones have GSpace

and its basically google apps all in one

i think only some are web apps

and they have appgallery where u can get more important apps via .apk

and they get it from their own sources

[polar wraith]

ok ok i get it

[chilly veldt]

Since the bike passed inspection, it's now fully in my name and owned by me, time for customizing

[normal fable]

Nice! Congrats!

[crude stump]

i dont really understand on nmap is used in a pentesting way. As im doing the nmap room it asks for me to used a ftp anon script. i do it and it works but how would that help me?

[normal fable]

Anon access to ftp can be a vulnerability. Espcecially if it contains sensitive data.

could lead to further compromise.

note that I said "can" and not "is"..

[crude stump]

and im guessing would nmap also help setting up a reverse shell?

[waxen sequoia]

THM attackbox cannot open

[sick lance]

#site-support

[normal fable]

It's a tool I use just to find open ports. Can enumerate services and there are scripts (nse scripts) that you can run to find further iofo on the running services.

[crude stump]

i see

[cold jungle]

Wooo, share images after customization

[chilly veldt]

probably after some months, but sure

[sick lance]

Nmap is useful

[crude stump]

i got your word now scrubz

[cold jungle]

Would wait for it

I can't drive bikes

After the last accident, I am no allowed to drive anymore

So I am happy for those who are enjoying

[errant fossil]

how much are they selling the p50 pro for?

[normal fable]

I haven't been on a bike since my accident. It's been almost a year. I think it's about time I get back on..

[chilly veldt]

I am enjoying it, and I will be driving my friends on trips, and next year the plan is to do confirmation driving for peeps

[errant fossil]

are you in the us?

uk tho right

[tired peak]

nope

[sick lance]

Uk

[errant fossil]

then dont get both of them either get the s23 or the s24 ultra cause for us in uk they have a shitter chip

[cold jungle]

I just searched its a 2021 model?

[restive fractal]

Hi all

[sick lance]

On the contrary i have the S22 Ultra and mu partner has the S23 Ultra and they're both good phones.

[errant fossil]

for me it says 1149 pounds, for that its too expensive

[cold jungle]

Why not go with Iphone then?

[errant fossil]

then its not worth to upgarde

[errant fossil]

thats what im thinking or samsung

[boreal scarab]

@naive violet can I DM? Got a radio question

[cold jungle]

Samsung I would suggest over IPhone

[errant fossil]

Same

[cold jungle]

Damn good display and camera with same level of processing power

[errant fossil]

the iphone 16 leaks say the iphone will look worse lol

for me it does look like a s23 now

Nu uh

Samsung on top

[cold jungle]

I never had an Iphone, so I don't give a shit whatever they are doing

[crude stump]

iphone has no creativity its honestly depressing

[errant fossil]

i have a 12 and prob gonna get a samung soon

[restive fractal]

how can I get a role

[cold jungle]

Yeah get one

[crude stump]

minimalism that costs a thousand bucks

[cold jungle]

Seriiously???

You need to re read the defination of it

Alright

[crude stump]

minimalism by changing a camera and keeping the same design

slap a 1000 price tag on it

[errant fossil]

the s24 ultra looks way more minimalist than any iphone

[cold jungle]

TOOOOOOOO mucccccchhhhhhhhhhhh

[errant fossil]

expensive and less features

[cold jungle]

Disagreed

Brother use s24 for a day

[crude stump]

half the time you wont see the inside unless you take it to a repair shop

tbh i had both samsung and apple

[errant fossil]

For people who dont care about features the iphone is fine but if you like tech you will atomically choose a android

[crude stump]

what does that mean in english

[errant fossil]

the mirror comment says it all

but at the end of the day everyone can choose what they like and i might like something else and you might something else its fine. Just love what you have

As I said don't take it personal

[errant fossil]

[cold jungle]

For what?

[crude stump]

a vm to boot

[cold jungle]

Anyways, Hello

Shadow

[sand trench]

for a tryhackme ctf target machine to full spin up

ello ello mogamboo

[cold jungle]

Yep go ahead

[cold jungle]

That's the longest 2 minutes spent

Try restarting

[sand trench]

oh noes

[cold jungle]

[sand trench]

also check the smart data on that drive

Why do shadow come online only at this hour?
What does shadow do rest of the time?

Any fullitme job or something?

[sand trench]

from 00:00 or 02:00 try to sleep.... at 10:00 finally fall asleep... at 15:00 get up and eat breakfast... at 15:20 go shower... at 16:00 eat dinner

[south sonnet]

HDD? even sata SSD with modern windows operating systems can be painful to use if you boot it up after a long time. It usually tries to index search, update and other background jobs that basically makes the device unusable until everything is done

[cold jungle]

It takes 10 hours to sleep?

Your condition seems worse than mine

[sand trench]

yeah lots of tossing and turning

and some micro sleep here and there during that time

[cold jungle]

Don't mind my bad english

[cold jungle]

That means you are not employed... Student?

[sand trench]

well gonna start uni this fall if shadow gets in

[south sonnet]

def replace it with a SSD if you actually want to use the device for something. I'm guessing the device probably also has very little RAM so anything that doesn't fit will also gets written to pagefile on disk making the situation even worse

[cold jungle]

High school?

Mannn this is crazy

THM full of young guy

[south sonnet]

nah just a SSD can give it a second life.

[empty parcel]

plenty of shops sell replacement batteries

[south sonnet]

my old Pentium laptop ran as my testing NAS for years with a SSD. (it had broken screen and battery).

[empty parcel]

SSD + lightweight linux distro can do a great job - everything is basically a webapp nowadays anyhow 🤷‍♂️

[cold jungle]

I would suggest battery from authentic source

Local battery will cause more trouble latter

Incase if you can still find

If not there is no other way

[south sonnet]

lol my current "laptop's" battery which used to be plugged in 24x7 before I built a desktop bloated to the point that broke the screw joints in the laptop chassis

you can start uni older

[rapid merlin]

its from an old workplace and its been a few years since i worked there, they never asked for it back

[south sonnet]

can't find one atleast not one that ships to my place at a reasonable price.
Also barely use the laptop. Obviously the pillow was removed the same day and disposed of later

[buoyant tree]

oh k

using it with charge only makes sense

using it with a spicy pillow makes no sense except that you should run as fast as you can

[normal fable]

I'd search amazon and ebay for a replacement battery. I know there are aftermarket ones for certain machines.

[buoyant tree]

why the heck is firefox broken today

[rapid merlin]

anyone know the answer to this?

[south sonnet]

[buoyant tree]

Alt EZ does.

[normal fable]

A few years yeah..

sup?

[amber inlet]

Have you tried turning it off and turning it back on?

[normal fable]

have you attemted methodically depeting the flow of electrons and then in a few seconds re-applying the flow of said electrons?

[south sonnet]

yeah no it's a obscure laptop. That probably was only likely sold less than single digit in the entire country. The only way would be to get the service center to import it. But no way I'm paying like 250+USD to get 6+year old battery replaced

[normal fable]

Most of the time, if we don't know the answer or it isn't documented in our documentation then yes we have to research the issue. If it's an immediate thing or not doesn't matter if we don't have the answer.

The thing to keep in mind as that we give best effort to support issues even if we don't know. We have tricks to try to get things working as quickly as possible.

All else fails.. research the issue and find alternate solutions. If one does not exist, then deep dive and come up with a solution.

[south sonnet]

recently had a friend ask me about a support ticket he got. I found the fix under an hour while their dev team also received a bug report from another team and the fix release date was expected around Q1 2025.

[normal fable]

Then post it on stackoverflow or somwehre and be a hero other techs who run into the same issue. 🙂

[arctic cradle]

friend of mine asked me to test the security of his WP site for any vulnerabilities, I attempted LFI and I feel like WP has banned my IP or something, I didn't even use VPN as there was mutual agreement for the "pentesting", has anyone run into similar issue where WP flagged his IP due to LFI attempts?

I cannot load any website at all hosted on WordPress

[south sonnet]

was it a xxx.wordpress.com site?

[arctic cradle]

nope, they just use WP as hosting

[south sonnet]

yeah likely could be blacklisted

[rapid merlin]

anyone know if i clear a hard drive from a company laptop, then use a fresh download of windows, is there any possibility of them monitoring my activity?

[arctic cradle]

blacklisted by WP in general? dang

that's new to me, lol

[buoyant tree]

Eh make a post about the question then comment "I solved it" without any details for maximum effect

[arctic cradle]

should've used a testing environment for it, didn't think it through about getting flagged so easily

[normal fable]

That's what I put in the resolution of all my tickets.

I got demoted to 1.. but pay increase. 🤣

I've been a l1 tech for over 5 years now??

We do a lot more than your standard help desk though.

[south sonnet]

The fix was reported to their company so I think they fastforwarded the fix. I'm not sure. It's sorta like a helper tool for one of their main products.

[normal fable]

No path to L2 even.. even for people who have been with the company for over a decade...

Yeah. It's a good job to have if you have a good team and good manager.

Reason I haven't left yet. I love the company, my team and manager.

[whole yew]

aside from violating the AUP of the company that owns the equipment, there are other ethical considerations from doing that

[rapid merlin]

havent been at the company for about 3 yrs and they didnt want the laptop back

[whole yew]

that doesn't change your liability - unless you have it in writing that it's yours now, it's still technically their property, and modifying it could result in some liability

[amber inlet]

Just start applying now bro, it’s only help desk @rapid merlin

[rapid merlin]

10th gen i5, not that bad

[whole yew]

they may be paying lease on that laptop, and if their asset management isn't great, they may not even know you have it. that doesn't change the ownership though

i do know people who were billed for the company laptop they did not return when they left the company, even years after

[south sonnet]

Sony has even made a property theft claims against it's employee for a mouse. Which ruined the employees career after they got hacked

[normal fable]

Why worry about your accent?

[amber inlet]

I mean it doesn’t really matter, almost every help desk I call in USA is staffed by Bengali or Indians or whoever else. You type like a native I’m sure you’ll be fine broski

[amber inlet]

I’m guessing because of all those scammer videos blowing up on YouTube, Indians got a bad rap right now in IT lol

[normal fable]

[amber inlet]

Oh you’re Czech I was way off

You’ll be fine just practice man. And if you do land a help desk gig what better way to practice than 40 hours of English a week

You’re already over qualified

Just rip it

[normal fable]

Most of my communication with people is via email or chat. We do take and make calls but it's more frequent that we get tickets submitted through our ticketing system and respond via email out of that. 90% of the time we resolve the issue through email.

I'd say that if you speak 'good enough' english, then help desk would be okay for you.

I have always treated ever interview as a way to learn where to improve.

[amber inlet]

Yeah exactly, the worst they can do is say no.

The fact that you can even bug bounty is what I meant by you’re over qualified. I don’t think web app testing is a skill the average help desk employee has lol

[normal fable]

It's not. Neither is configuring Cisco devices.. just good troubleshooting skills is all you need and customer service. Customer service skills are essential.

[amber inlet]

Yeah. So it still might be degrading. But at least you won’t be digging ditches

[normal fable]

I do dig ditches when I have to. lol

Moved and had a hard time finding a job.. so.. ditch digging it was for a while.

[shadow loom]

I'd say you need at least the knowledge required to pass A+ in helpdesk

[normal fable]

From just that description, I'd hire ya on a trial basis to see how you did with people. The technical skills can be trained and every environment is different.

That's true

[shadow loom]

there's nothing as infuriating as being forced, by policy, to get help from helpdesk and they just not understanding the problem at hand

[normal fable]

A+ is preferred for help desk.

[shadow loom]

A+ will help you with that

I once had a problem where some websites and services was blocked on my PC, which were not blocked on their PC. They asked if I had run Windows updates - and even had the audacity to try to run win upd themselves

and if I had rebooted the PC

and if I had tried connecting to another network

[amber inlet]

Lmao maybe they have their own dumb script of preliminary questions as dictated by company policy birb?

[shadow loom]

After long insisting and incredible willpower to not punch anybody in the face, a senior guy overheard us and figured out that my PC was accidentally enrolled in a beta program for a web proxy, which needed to have some services whitelisted

[amber inlet]

Yeah that sounds silly

[shadow loom]

I was pissed

[normal fable]

Ya know.. sometimes I'll call a user and say "I know you've already tried all this.. but we have to go through this stuff again."

It's frustrating.. but process.. 🤷

[shadow loom]

They 100% have a checklist and I bet you that in 60% or more of the cases that checklist solves the problem

[normal fable]

"Are you sure the computer is plugged in?"

[shell nova]

All hail The Process!

[shadow loom]

but when a DevOps guy has to ask service desk for help debugging their stuff, it's usually not the low-hanging fruits xD

(and especially not due to missing Windows updates like WTF was that kind of suggestion)

"Have you tried closing your Word and PowerPoint files? "

SAY "have you tried" ONE MORE TIME

[normal fable]

Oh yeah.. I don't train you on how to do your job.. You should talk to your manager about that. 🤣

[amber inlet]

How tough was OSCP birb ?

[shadow loom]

depends

if you have a programming degree and 3-5 years of experience working as a programmer/DevOps, and can devote 4-8 hours every day for 2 months, then pretty easy

if not... eh

[chilly veldt]

[shadow loom]

dunno

[rapid merlin]

hi

[amber inlet]

That’s the end goal for me, I’m coming from sales though. Zero experience with anything. I just learned to touch type lol

[shadow loom]

Some people spend multiple attempts before getting lucky enough to pass the exam, others ace it on first try

[chilly veldt]

Software engineer?

[shadow loom]

yes

[chilly veldt]

smh smh

[shadow loom]

I went from zero to OSCP in 2 months passing the exam on first try in half the time but I'm also a massive nerd

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[shadow loom]

well strictly speaking I'm not a software engineer

I've got a B.Sc. in softwre development

[chilly veldt]

N1z0ku also just passed their OSCP

[chilly veldt]

fair fair

[shadow loom]

oh nice

N1z0ku, I remember that name.. haven't seen them around in ages I think

[chilly veldt]

they're from HTB

[normal fable]

Did you spend a lot of time in the lab prior to taking OSCP?

[shadow loom]

only the OffSec lab

I rooted 53 machines or something like that (this was in 2019 btw, so before they introduced AD)

[amber inlet]

Are there any guides you’d recommend or any particular scripting languages or concepts that were helpful? I do alright with THM stuff but my fundamentals are pretty nonexistent

[normal fable]

I'm debating re-purchasing lab access and going through the material again.. then actually taking the exam.

[amber inlet]

Now we’re all harassing birb

[buoyant tree]

I hate tech support like this

[amber inlet]

Feed us 🐣

[shadow loom]

For me the OSCP (PWK course*) material was what taught me all I needed to know about infosec back when I studied for the exam. That and whatever extra material I needed to learn to pwn the lab machines - things like WPScan and CrackMapExec are really useful but I don't think either was covered in my course material. I had to "discover" those tools while going through the lab.

Besides that I'd recommend familiarity with at least one programming or scripting language, ideally Python or Bash

If you can write simple scripts and you know what a "socket" I think it's safe to say you know enough programming/scripting to pass

yes

I think

wait

hmm'

[sick lance]

If used correctly, crackmapexec is op

https://tenor.com/view/never-fear-i-is-here-hackers-mr-the-plague-skateboard-gif-16623697

[shadow loom]

I believe you can use your own tools, but you need to document them and how they work in the report. I'm not 100% sure.

I never had to. Only my own scripts which were then documented with source code in the report.

[hollow pivot]

Help desk and tech support is not only about technical knowledge, written and oral communication is super important.

[normal fable]

I don't communicate the same here as I do through email, on a support call etc..

js.. lol

[hollow pivot]

I got my first tech support job because I had experience with client-facing roles in the hotel industry; the little tech knowledge I had was just a +

[normal fable]

Things like "Yall need ta chill" would be more like "Okay. I understand your frustration. Why don't we take a deeper look at what's going on so we can figure out how to better communicate together." or something like that.

[boreal scarab]

[gray sonnet]

Huh?

[shadow loom]

If not for the curiosity then for this reason:

When going through the course and hacking my way through the lab, I often chatted with fellow students and current OSCP certificate holders about this and that. One of the questions which I frequently asked them is which topics I should focus on learning first and how I was able to tell what I needed to know. More often than not, the recommendation was to “work on your methodology”. I asked how I should go about working on it, and what a “pentest methodology” was exactly, but I usually received mixed replies. The common denominator however was to hack more machines and learn by doing. I was left feeling confused because to me it felt like I had asked how I learned to swim, but had then been told that the way to learn how to swim, is to try to get across as many lakes as possible with less and less help.

It's a bit of a weird situation to be in, gotta admit

"How do I get better?"
"You just gotta do more."
"OK nice. What does that mean?"
"?????"

[sand trench]

....

well that was this weeks room testing done

not gonna say anything more

[amber inlet]

I’ll check it out, and yeah I’ve definitely learned way more by just doing rather than memorizing a bunch of random concepts. Although I usually do not like doing things without knowing the “why” behind every little thing.

When you are looking at logs for a huge corporation. The amount of logs is gonna be going a mile of minute. Is there a way to slow down logs? Or do each analyst team get a pcap file and they analyze that one pcap file. Ik there are tons of filters for something like wire shark etc, but even with filters you might miss a potential intrusion. I just have a hard time understanding how it runs for a big corp instead of something like a home network.

I would say donot pay much attention to the difficulty rating. Just start doing whatever room you feel like. Get through some of the paths so you have the base knowledge and just attempt whatever box you feel like.

Any scripting language should work, pick the one you like the best; JavaScript is kind of unavoidable since it is the scripting language of the browser.

It was supposed to go down at 25

[boreal scarab]

turns of age to have it lowered
Also car insurance: Costs more than last year

[boreal scarab]

Backwards country right there... tf

[errant fossil]

insurance companies are one of the worst scams

[sick lance]

What has been made illegal?

[boreal scarab]

Apparently using your mother's insurance till you're legally required to pay it yourself?

[errant fossil]

idk i saw a post about 7 months ago not really sure

[naive violet]

Been illegal here for ages, it's called fronting and it's insurance fraud

[sick lance]

Yeah,

[boreal scarab]

I feel so bad for you guys

[naive violet]

The main driver has to be the person named as the main driver...

[sick lance]

You can add your parents on to your insurance.

[sand trench]

apparently the usa is closing in on 54 trilion in dept

[naive violet]

Because lying counts as fraud there? Does for your lot too, mate

Health insurance is 26, car insurance is based on address

[sand trench]

oh wait they stated that is by 2034 or so..... so it is a prediction... shadows fault

[sick lance]

You need to be living with your parents.

[sand trench]

still that dept is crazy high..... poor current young people and future young people that gonna be forced to help pay that off

[boreal scarab]

Oh we're already screwed in this market

[whole yew]

Honestly, it will end up being taxes by corporations more than individuals that pays it off. And tightening the spending belt, which our government has never been good with, but has gotten consdierably worse since the 90s

But that's also going to go political so we'll drop the taxes and debt stuff please

[glossy coral]

Hi everyone, I'm new to this world and just starting out. I'm eager to expand my knowledge and improve my skills. Could someone recommend some books to me? I'm already following the learning paths on TryHackMe and practicing; I'm nearly finished with the beginner path, so I have a basic understanding but still have much to learn.

[sick lance]

Have a look in #bookclub

[naive violet]

Being a secondary driver is fine, but you have to actually be the secondary driver. If you drive it 50.1% of the time, you're committing insurance fraud

[naive violet]

Nah I'm trying to figure out earthing and grounding

[boreal scarab]

Like OSINT? OSINT Techniques: Resources for Uncovering Online Information by Michael Bazzell

[boreal scarab]

Here's the thing, how am I supposed to measure that? White board by the keys "Who took the car?"

[sick lance]

Milage of the car...

[errant fossil]

how would they know who drove how many miles

[sick lance]

Let's not try and promote fraud...

[naive violet]

You should really be aware of who normally drives the car.
It's on them to prove dishonesty, sure. Just... Don't promote insurance fraud.

[errant fossil]

yeah but just asking as its pretty stupid

[naive violet]

A lot of systems are designed for honest people

You should try your damndest to be an honest person.

[errant fossil]

Honest people get screwed by them the most, i agree being honest is best but insurance companies

Not promoting fraud

NO ONE TRY THIS

[boreal scarab]

In the US, that's not really considered insurance fraud. (not a lawyer)
If your parents own the car, and you use it. That's not fraud.

"Your parents own the car, and you live with them: If your parents own the car you’re driving and you live at the same address, you can be on their auto insurance policy. You’d be considered a covered driver for that vehicle."

[naive violet]

Sounds remarkably like you're suggesting defrauding insurance companies still.
Perhaps it's better to move forward?

[errant fossil]

[naive violet]

"Can use it" is different to "be the main person that uses it"

[boreal scarab]

There's no caveat (as far as I know) that says that for the US. @whole yew Can probably correct me as he has more wisdom than I do.

[buoyant tree]

parrot?

[whole yew]

My understanding is that James is correct, even for the US. "primary driver" is still the person that drives it the most, it's sort of a situation where insurance companies don't look too hard because it doesn't cost them much in the way of profits. Pretty cynical, but that's my observation of what's on paper vs the reality I've experienced.

[buoyant tree]

hmm looks good, installing it

[boreal scarab]

Thanks for clarifying Juun!

Sure, although first fixing my VM

I don't know what the purpose of a 4K linux VM would be, but good for ye

[sick lance]

Now you can see the nmap scan in more detail.

[jagged lichen]

hi

anyone know, how to

repair a micro sd

[sick lance]

How is it broken?

[split compass]

Most of the time I wouldn't bother to game in 4k even if I had a 4k monitor. It's a lot of extra compute for not a lot of extra benefit.

[jagged lichen]

my computer can read and when i put the micro sd, sound

work

but i cant

use

and see

in my disc

[sand trench]

ah oh my zsh

[sick lance]

Can you please type all in once message please.

[naive violet]

That's the level of skill and precision for micro SD btw

[jagged lichen]

of course like this

[sand trench]

the noob trap that slows downs tons of shells

[jagged lichen]

ok

[naive violet]

Muiri?
Shitposting?
Wow

[sand trench]

have had the fun of using a degauser and hdd shredder before though

[pallid lotus]

Just procrastinating

[sand trench]

that does not really show the shell in your picture and more so shows your customised prompt

[split compass]

That's kinda cool.
Set-screws with probes that are backed by traces to power and data lines?

[sand trench]

there is ohmybash too

[jagged lichen]

I use the micro SD for my Nintendo Switch, on Tuesday I played Fortnite which I have saved on the micro SD, the fact is that I left the console in standby mode and when I turned it on yesterday it didn't want to read the micro SD, the console didn't It didn't detect it or anything, yesterday when I connected it to the computer it did detect it but yesterday taking certain steps to unlock it I think I screwed it up hard and it no longer appears on the disks, unless I see it in the disk manager, I think the console found it I locked the micro SD and I ended up screwing it up, now I literally can't do anything with it

[sand trench]

both are posix compliant
zsh has better plugin support
which gives you things like syntax highlighting and auto complete commands

zsh has better built in tab support then bash

alacritty using the sixel fork

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @sand trench (current: #4 - 1789)

though for the sixel fork you are gonna have to build it from source

sooooo yeah

There's a lot of shell options out there 😄

[naive violet]

Yeah basically, tiny tiny probes to hit the pins in the memory

[split compass]

No worries, I know you've been working on your PCBs for months, I know this because I've seen you speak of them before, and I haven't logged into chat in months 🙂

[naive violet]

They all have different pinouts apparently

Looks like you can be messy too and use enamel wire

[split compass]

That tracks, probably all determined by the integrated controllers.

I imagine the mess enamel wire option is what happens in Louis Rossmann's shop.
If I ever visit Austin, I am so taking advantage of their open repair nights 🙂

[naive violet]

Police forensics use the spider ones, although I don't think it's common

[split compass]

The short enamel runs probably have better signal integrity.

[sand trench]

very very very fast update cycle as it is rolling release and also has bleeding edge updates for software
no need to reinstall or use dist-upgrade to keep your system updated over multiple years
very very very very great documentation in the form of the arch wiki
the arch user repository has basically all the software you could ever want that is not in the primary repos
the primary repos has a lot of software too and has a tendency to get new packages from the aur in there when enough votes on said software goes through
fancy colored options and nice multiple download at the same time for package management

[jagged lichen]

What is the token of my discord profile?

go onto your tryhackme profile and go into manage account and scroll down until you find the discord token portion

kali is the industry standard for a few reasons
like comming preinstalled with a lot of tools

but arch linux is definitely decent for hacking

as you can get nearly all hacking tools installed easily

archlinux by default is very very very barebones

you basically build your own daily driver distro with the packages you install

[earnest gate]

hello everyone! When I want to make a transaction with the inscope url given in a bug bounty target, are sub domains and directory urls included? So, is it necessary or prohibited to scan sub domains and directories via inscope url (main domain)? Are the sub domains and directories I found considered outscope?

[boreal scarab]

@umbral bay @mossy river Question about bug bounty

[mossy river]

You should ask the company that has the program

Usually it will say in the program, if it doesn’t, assume you cannot.

[boreal scarab]

Sounded like it was for THM, so pinged you two just incase 🙂

[earnest gate]

thank you!

Hi?

[sand trench]

eugh starship feels slow because of powerlevel10k:s instant prompt feature

[whole yew]

502 is usually a cloudflare thing. if you're getting 400s, that's probably more indicative of a problem with THM itself

[harsh gorge]

Guys it seems to me that thm focuses much much more on post exploitation stuff rather than gaining the initial foothold is it me or that's how it is?

Like I'm in red teaming path and it's 80% post exploitation

[quartz fog]

Initial Access isn't worth much. It's what you can do with that access that a Red Team is for

I plead the 5th

and shadow pleads the 3rd

[umbral bay]

Protecting your private property?

[sand trench]

refusing to house soldiers on private property for those wondering

[devout palm]

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in court

[sand trench]

you have the right to not house troops on your propertiy

The Third Amendment to the United States Constitution places restrictions on the quartering of soldiers in private homes without the owner's consent, forbidding the practice in peacetime. The amendment is a response to the Quartering Acts passed by the Parliament of Great Britain during the buildup to the American Revolutionary War, which had allowed the British Army to lodge soldiers in public buildings.
