general

[jovial musk]

continue please

any advice you have can help me a lot

[rapid merlin]

Watch through Low Level Learning's videos - then Google the things that you may have questions about

[whole yew]

i don't think i ever used TMM to add a role, @jagged moon did you always just use carl?

[jovial musk]

what i was thinking is doing thm then go to htb

[rapid merlin]

that's what most people do

[jagged moon]

It's /giverole i think

[jovial musk]

good or bad

[wooden totem]

thats pretty good, but thm has some good advanced rooms too so a mix is nice

[rapid merlin]

I personally haven't really done alot of CTFs but it seems to work

[jovial musk]

try it out do "/giverole admin @jovial musk " (for testing ofc)

[jovial musk]

ok il do that

[jovial musk]

aight

[whole yew]

thanks, last time i gave someone a cert role, it was with the bang commands

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @jagged moon (current: #13 - 581)

[wooden totem]

you can admin cus you need a higher role than the one you give 🤓

[jovial musk]

aight so il do thm then htb, what next?

[rapid merlin]

OffSec

[jovial musk]

that expensive?

[rapid merlin]

Yes

but it's worth your while if you can afford it

[wooden totem]

whats next? 6 hours of staring in the screen for the next 5 months

[jovial musk]

cant do it then

[jovial musk]

not in a situation where i can

[rapid merlin]

The go into bug bounty hunting

[jovial musk]

dude, im alr walking all my neighboors dogs to afford thm

did you get a lot of bb?

[rapid merlin]

yes

[jovial musk]

ive tried, ive failed

[jovial musk]

what, how

[rapid merlin]

practice and patience

[wooden totem]

wait actually I have no idea, how do people get employed at cybersec as a "beginner"

[jovial musk]

what

why is everyone here a inhuman god at hacking except me

[jagged moon]

Not everyone

Just this one

[jovial musk]

i cant compete with that

[jagged moon]

You don't have to

[whole yew]

Usually, they have other experience and knowledge before getting into security. Equivalent to 2-5 years or a degree is usually the baseline for many 'entry level' info and cyber sec jobs

[candid niche]

lol like you said, you are 15. people probably have years of industry xp on top of you. I think you are definitely on the right path of getting there

[rapid merlin]

it takes alot of practice and patience

[jovial musk]

i just want to have a guarratned success path

[jagged moon]

It's a collective effort to make the cyberspace more safe. You learn from these people and try your best

[jovial musk]

ive been sacrificing everything

[wooden totem]

probabilty said hi

[jovial musk]

i feel like if i do thm, then htb i still wont be able to get a bb

[wooden totem]

(they could be making all this up for all we know)

[jovial musk]

i want to learn from them

[whole yew]

4 pages of notes is pretty conservative tbh. If you're working, it's really easy to fill up 5-10 pages a day dependeng on your tasking

[jovial musk]

but its so intimidating

@rapid merlin i cant even take nots of simple thm rooms

dont know how

[rapid merlin]

read blogs, it will help you

[jagged moon]

You'll get there. Noone starts a god

[rapid merlin]

I still don't have my KLCP

[jovial musk]

you have 125 certs

[rapid merlin]

I do

[jovial musk]

you can get on your high horse

[candid niche]

think about it as "thinking out loud" just writing down what you did and why

[jovial musk]

im not doing ctfs rn

cant

im just doing simple paths

its just so wierd to me, im sacrificing everything i can to try to get a head start

[rapid merlin]

best advice I can give you is pace yourself

this is a marathon, not a sprint

if you sprint for a marathon, you can easily burn out

it's all about the journey over the destination

[jovial musk]

the issue is

i dont know where im going

[jagged moon]

That's normal

[rapid merlin]

I don't even know lol

[jagged moon]

You'll specialize later

[rapid merlin]

exactly

[jovial musk]

ik i wanna do red path, but pple say its awfull, ik i wanna do bug bounty, pple say its useless

ik i wawnna be in cybersec, pple say there are way better pple than you will ever be

so, where to run?

[jagged moon]

Do what you like most, not what people say

[wooden totem]

stop thinking like a robot for maximizing probability, just try different things until you find a thing for you

[jovial musk]

i tried coding

[jagged moon]

To find out what you like most, try all of them

[jovial musk]

loved it, loved cybersec more

[jovial musk]

im "distro" hopping rn

tried coding, tried OSINT,

i just love breaking stuff

[jagged moon]

Start with picking a distro you like, i guess

[jovial musk]

i did

i picked cybersec

i just dk how to go around learning

[jagged moon]

Cybersec is vast

[jovial musk]

red teaming

[wooden totem]

red teaming is very hard

[jovial musk]

so do i change?

[wooden totem]

I mean, if you like it you can continue and if thats a thing for you thats a thing for you

[jovial musk]

i do like it

ig il do thm and then htb

well, thanks for listening to my rant

il be off to a cold shower

[sturdy lark]

I learn hacking for not being overruned by the commies

[pine matrix]

sup sup, been a sec

does anyone have any resources for learning SQL / injection

[rapid merlin]

Oh no

What is today's?

[chilly veldt]

Morning

[pine matrix]

hiya

[chilly veldt]

I am wayyyy too tired today

[graceful thistle]

Hello

Hi regent, long time no see. How are you?

[jovial musk]

hello regent

any mods here

could you make a thread on note taking?

[pine matrix]

yeah not too bad, I have time again now im off my study binge to do some more thm stuff again and in the market for new work

[jovial musk]

nice

[pine matrix]

claiming disposal tech from work and reworking it into my home lab has been a nice change of pace

[jovial musk]

what path you on rn?

[pine matrix]

hoping to go from lvl 2 support > sysadmin, but there are some promising security analyst jobs im poking at right now

[graceful thistle]

oh nice!

[graceful thistle]

good luck

[jovial musk]

@pine matrix what thm path u on rn?

[pine matrix]

just anything more than what Im doing now lol, way too much workload and no where near enough pay

[graceful thistle]

yeah not a great combination

[pine matrix]

for sure not, only reason I stuck around is the seniors are super informative so I can pick their brains a lot and sometimes I get to do cool stuff where I can bury my face into it for a week without anyone questioning me

[pine matrix]

just finishing up jr pentester

[jovial musk]

oh nice

i feel like the xp system is broken

[pine matrix]

been sitting in my almost completed pile for a while until I got burnt out

[jovial musk]

im on begginer and we both 0x8

[jovial musk]

do you all actually get burnt out?

i see everyone saying "dont do too much thm ul get burnt out"

[pine matrix]

doing a full day of work, sitting in traffic for an hour, doing other chores after work etc just causes general burnout

[jovial musk]

oh u mean work

yeah i understand

[pine matrix]

nah i mean both

haha

[jovial musk]

oh lmao

[stuck cliff]

?

[jovial musk]

what mod is on

[jovial musk]

@whole yew

[jovial musk]

wtf do you mean "?"

[jovial musk]

nope

[rapid merlin]

@shell nova :)

[jovial musk]

you cant snatch the satisfaction from me like that

[pine matrix]

[jovial musk]

[stray oracle]

id seen ml one, had piqued my interest being someone from ml hehe

[graceful thistle]

I am not

[sturdy lark]

I think the region doesnt matter. I'm in China and it is capable to connect to the US server........utill yesterday.

[rapid merlin]

I think that's a very good idea :)

[jovial musk]

ah, we need 1

also, can you make a "note taking" thread?

[rapid merlin]

I'm afraid Jabba or Timtaylor has to do that

[jovial musk]

dont be afraid man

[rapid merlin]

xd

[graceful thistle]

even if I could, I'd leave that to the mods 😄

[stray oracle]

be not afraid 🤭

[stray oracle]

is this a reference to that one meme lol

[jovial musk]

idk

im original

[stray oracle]

haha XD understandable

[jovial musk]

also why the HELL is openvpn not working

im pissed now

[rapid merlin]

I'm afraid that ..... is a common expression in English... Right?

[stray oracle]

yes yes

[uneven swallow]

u sure u not misspelling anything?

[stray oracle]

we

[jovial musk]

no 😦

10.10.10.10 dosent give me the ip either

[stray oracle]

we're just making fun of the literal meaning of being afraid that the idiom has connotations of

[rapid merlin]

Yeah alright

fair

[uneven swallow]

send a sc of ur screen

[rapid merlin]

What is the output if you do IP a ?

[jovial musk]

cant

other pc

[jovial musk]

i think just my normal ip

[rapid merlin]

hmm

Should be any Tun0 there

[jovial musk]

there is

[graceful thistle]

it does remind me of that story where some lady wanted to inform her dentist that she couldn't make it to the appointment, so she started writing an email with 'I am afraid' but then accidentally sent it. Cracks me up

[rapid merlin]

Everything is possible. Why?

[stray oracle]

😏

[rapid merlin]

I don't think the Chinese gov has a bug bounty program

[sturdy lark]

the openvpn is fxxked up

[jovial musk]

yes

yes

yes

[stray oracle]

i apparently cannot post on the great outdoors 😔

or artificial intelligence

oooh

perhaps

i ought to

look

he has been posting these for a while i think

[naive violet]

Where?

[jovial musk]

there was one rn

but he edited it

i caught him with his hand in the cookie jar though

[naive violet]

Go to the police.
Don't discuss it here

[uneven swallow]

[jovial musk]

[naive violet]

That's correct @sturdy lark

There's a link there

To a form

Fill out that form

[uneven swallow]

@naive violet have you done the Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate?

[naive violet]

No

If that's the one I think it is, it's only really worth it if you're going for sec+ and want some additional effectively free (discounts work out) training

[uneven swallow]

says its free for the first 7 days then 70/month after just wondering if its a short course that can be hammered down before the week trial is over

[sturdy lark]

I haven't played THM for three whole days now, and the only things I can do are snus dip and scratch my butt

[naive violet]

Build a lab

Learn SQL, learn PHP

[sturdy lark]

Honestly, I play THM just to improve my ranking so I can show it to my future employers. Surely I have my own learning path and self-made lab.

[naive violet]

Plenty of other projects, and THM rank doesn't impress people as much as you'd think

[sturdy lark]

no no no dude, I just take it as a stamp-collection.

[rapid merlin]

I have it

[uneven swallow]

is it hard, and is it possible to finish within the 7 day trial?

[rapid merlin]

Its probably possible but Im not sure if youre gonna remember anything if you go through it that fast

[uneven swallow]

is there an exam at the end?

[rapid merlin]

No just quizzes

If youre preparing for Sec+ then its not a bad idea

[uneven swallow]

just looking for the cert tbh

[rapid merlin]

Why?

[uneven swallow]

fun to collect them

[jovial musk]

gotta catch em all

[wooden totem]

There's 104 days of summer vacation

[shadow loom]

Correction: there is 28.

*cries in adult*

[rapid merlin]

tryhack me is not easy when it says easy

[jovial musk]

correction, there is 90 cries in mexican child

[chilly veldt]

Correction: there is none

cries in overworked

[jovial musk]

alternative: cries in unpaid internship

[uneven swallow]

time to bust out some annuals

[jovial musk]

?

oh you are talking about vacation days?

[uneven swallow]

ye annual days, normally you get 25/annum

[jovial musk]

do they transfer

like, if you dont use them do they go to the next year

i would honestly save them all up

and use like 200 in one year

[wooden totem]

For that reason you cannot

[uneven swallow]

usually they pay you out for remaining annual's

[jovial musk]

oh

then why use em

[uneven swallow]

to go on vacation

[jovial musk]

call in sick

"i have the flu for 3 days, sry"

"ima have a headacke tmr"

[wooden totem]

How to get replaced

[uneven swallow]

ye you'll get fired eventually

[jovial musk]

im joking

[chilly veldt]

I don't have any summer plans, so I use my vacation days on other times

Using a week in August

[uneven swallow]

tho during early covid days they gave you up to 5 days off no questions asked

[wooden totem]

Summer sucks cus its so hot without AC and there are a lot of bugs n stuff

My vacation is in my house, nice and chill, bug protected and free

[uneven swallow]

Cuba or Mexico all inclusive resort for a week is usually super cheap and pretty good for mental health

[chilly veldt]

I take a week in Estonia

And then maybe a week in Spain in October

[uneven swallow]

if your in the eu Malta is also cheap

[slow helm]

morning

[chilly veldt]

I am going to use most of my vacation days on military training when I get my contract

[uneven swallow]

why not quit you get paid during basic training

[rapid merlin]

Finally printed my sec+ certificate hooray 🥳

[sturdy lark]

How is the 'overworked' in American standard?

[chilly veldt]

This is a volunteer position, I don't get paid

[burnt ginkgo]

is the google certificate a good for entry cyber security btw?

[chilly veldt]

I ain't American

Or if I finish the DevSecOps, is there another good path for me?

[uneven swallow]

are you free to quit whenever or they making you sign a contract?

[sullen hearth]

Morning

[normal rose]

good morning

[slate harness]

Morning

[rapid merlin]

hello good afternoon, I want to continue our conversation which was interrupted previously

[normal rose]

shure go ahead

[rapid merlin]

Does anyone know how to reactivate my Grab Driver account, the problem is that I got suspended, initially I got a notification that my order was temporarily suspended, but after I submitted an appeal, last night, suddenly I was notified that your account was temporarily suspended. ?How can that be?...🤔🤔

[normal rose]

mmh I would suggest you write this into the #site-support

[uneven swallow]

seems like a Grab support Q

[rapid merlin]

For the discussion, just relax, bro, no need to rush

[normal rose]

lol I just found out that chatgpt helps you with the tools when you tell it, that you are using tryhackme.com and are stuck 😄

[rapid merlin]

Welcome to THM

[sturdy lark]

I doubt that the site-support channel will really care about my feedback

[rapid merlin]

haha I just found out that chatgpt helps you with the tool when you told, that you used tryhackme.com and got stuck 😄,......that's not the problem, I have a grab driver account, and wanted to ask around here if anyone I know, I can reactivate my account, if I go through the help center, it won't be fast, it will definitely take a long time... that's what I mean

You think IM lol,bro don't kid

Am I lol, don't be too harsh, bro,.....you're lol

[chilly veldt]

under contract but free to quit as long as we are not in a crisis

[rapid merlin]

that's what it's about

[normal rose]

sorry I was not relating to your problem. I just found it funny that you can still trick chatgpt.

[slate harness]

LOL

[uneven swallow]

Sounds fun, hopefully you get the contract soon

[chilly veldt]

thankz, yeah, fun fact, if you quit under a crisis you'll be jailed for treason

[sick lance]

Have you contacted their support?

[rapid merlin]

I have, many times, but he said I have to wait, and report again to the office, before 14 working days,.....

[sick lance]

Yhen that's what you need to do.

[rapid merlin]

If that's what you need to do......it's the same as torturing yourself, I have to keep coming to the office, coming again, even though I currently don't have the money to go there.

[sick lance]

There's nothing we can do, GrabDrivers support even told you to wait.

[turbid dagger]

Hey everyone, how would you go about successfully getting a known malicious actor (account hijacker and DDOSer) caught or reported? There is a community, actually, on Xbox of people that steal accounts and DDOS and have been doing it for years with no repercussions. I know some of their names and even IPs.

[chilly veldt]

You don't, the authorities do

[turbid dagger]

They don’t, though

[chilly veldt]

They do, it takes a long time to figure stuff out

[turbid dagger]

Time will tell I suppose

[chilly veldt]

It's months if not years that go into projects like that

[rapid merlin]

And they have to set priorities. If you are going to do stuff yourself that is unethical and illegal :)

[rapid merlin]

can you hack it?

[chilly veldt]

Take a look at
Operation endgame for example, a NATO operation that has taken years

[rapid merlin]

Yeah with collaboration from multiple countries

[chilly veldt]

Yup, and a cool anime

[rapid merlin]

What?

[chilly veldt]

https://www.operation-endgame.com/

They've made an anime

[rapid merlin]

Ohh lol

[chilly veldt]

Where they leak details about the hackers they know about

[rapid merlin]

Cool! The timer expires in 2 days

[chilly veldt]

That's the next episode

[sick lance]

Thag would be illegal, so no.

[sick lance]

What do you expect to do with the information, if not report it?

[turbid dagger]

we have

other than paying for a VPN theres nothing stopping them from DDOSing anyone and they've been doing it for years on the same platform

A VPN would be a bad idea if somebody wanted to (D)DoS. Regarding your question, the only think you can and should do is report them

[turbid dagger]

Why is VPN a bad idea? They arent able to pull my IP when its connected...

[shadow loom]

Well, you would be DoS'ing the VPN too

that's kinda bad

[turbid dagger]

I don't mean the hackers using a VPN, I mean me and the rest of the community

[rapid merlin]

Who reported this, and what is the error, is there any harmony in this chat?

[shadow loom]

at best your connection through the VPN will be rate limited by spam protection

at worst you'd be reported to the police for malicious activities

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Computer sci-

I mean Cybersecurity apparently

[shadow loom]

cyber security degrees sound like memes to me, dunno why

They are

You’re better off going computer science

Welcome to the club

I’m a second year

I start 3rd (last) in sept

[shadow loom]

polite reminder of this because you're mean

[shadow loom]

B.Sc.?

[mossy river]

Yuh

[gritty crypt]

I started my grad this year ngl the syllabus is a meme

[shadow loom]

I mean... those who excel in the field work as consultants - they're not the professors who teach other people what to know about the field. And how did the ones who excel in the field get to where they are without cyber security majors at uni?

anywho, it'll catch up I'm sure

[shadow loom]

awww

so I could help you with school work in exchange for special treatment on discord +reps I mean

which languages are you studying ?

or using

whatever

[gritty crypt]

you basically mean it's useless?

[shadow loom]

No, but I think you would get the same knowledge from just doing THM and HTB and maybe throw in a decent certificate

and the rest you'd learn in the job

[gritty crypt]

indeed

[chilly veldt]

me who teaches the teacher at school

[shadow loom]

but I guess that's the same as a degree: it barely covers the basics, then you gotta build on top of that at work

[chilly veldt]

it's the same as all educations

[gritty crypt]

yeah also degree is mostly theory

[chilly veldt]

you educate yourself on how to find the information you need

not on the topic

[slate harness]

Completely agree

[shadow loom]

POV of me thinking I was the sh** after getting my B.Sc. in computer science:

@chilly veldt honest question though: why is your steam name cursed

[chilly veldt]

[rapid merlin]

[shadow loom]

[rapid merlin]

It feels like a friday today lol

[lament tendon]

But I got stuff to do on the weekend as well...

[shadow loom]

[gritty crypt]

[gritty crypt]

or or never gets a great team

[shadow loom]

[graceful thistle]

fun stuff?

[gritty crypt]

now I want to know

[rapid merlin]

Thats quite OFFEN51V3 of you

[lament tendon]

I'm looking over and grading part of a competition for junior mountain rescuers.
IDK whether it will be fun yet. xD

[graceful thistle]

ooooh that sounds pretty cool though, sounds like potential fun 🙂

[gritty crypt]

brooooooo my name can be used this way?

that's cool

[lament tendon]

Have to get up at like 5 AM tho, that's the main problem.

[rapid merlin]

[graceful thistle]

yeah I thought there'd be something like that.. hahah

[chilly veldt]

cause then people think I meme, and then I just win 😎

[graceful thistle]

youre into dev and infosec? both

[mossy river]

Let’s just hope I can do all the sets without water

Muscles about to look massive

[rapid merlin]

[gritty crypt]

[mossy river]

Probably not very safe

But it’s okay, I should be fine

[shadow loom]

what you mean into? i mean yea... i guess?

[shadow loom]

I don't work in security, I work "in" DevOps

[gritty crypt]

ah isee

[shadow loom]

I just enjoy cybersecurity and know a thing or two about it

sometimes that comes in handy at work

[gritty crypt]

still you're OSCP

it's more for saying 1 or 2

[mossy river]

This is poetic (I’m doing squats)

[shadow loom]

I learned about hacking by getting oscp 🙃

[shadow loom]

it's just a warning, don't worry. you can still run your compiled binary do the exercise

[gritty crypt]

bro lives on the internet
bro uses discord in the gym

[shadow loom]

rule number 1 about the gym: if you're not posting about being at the gym on social media platforms, you were never actually at the gym

I use AirPods i would need that tool

I heard its bad for you

dunno if i should switch to wired

[shadow loom]

[rapid merlin]

unlucky

[candid niche]

sadge

[slow helm]

jabba seems fit i think

[naive violet]

That's just fully wrong.
The power is like microwatts and it's 2.4GHz, not THz like gamma is.
The super limited science behind it is equivalent to absolutely cranking the transmit power to ridiculous levels.

It's all just conspiracy crap

[slow helm]

for what room is that

[gritty crypt]

wanna brief about this?

[lament tendon]

Me when I hold my head into a microwave because it only uses 2.4GHz.
(I am joking. Like James said, the microwatts used by normal 2.4GHz data transmissions are way to low to be dangerous.)

Also don't put your head into a microwave.

[naive violet]

People simply do not understand the EM spectrum

There's such a big difference between microwave and x-rays/gamma rays

Literally IR, visible light, and UV in between

And given you still have your phone and haven't converted to a landline...

[slow helm]

james is unleashing his full knowledge potential

[lament tendon]

I am not saying that 2.45GHz is anywhere near radiation.

It just happens to boil stuff.

Hydrogen is the english term for the stuff, if I am not completely wrong.

[mossy river]

Health is wealth

[slow helm]

aw man almost hurt myself on that smith machine doing some squats (ego lifting )

[candid niche]

I blame graphics like this, making the range look a lot more condensed than what it actually is.

[shadow loom]

It's a geiger counter

[gritty crypt]

applications such as radiation dosimetry, radiological protection, experimental physics and the nuclear industry.

damn what are you planning

[shadow loom]

so.. long story short...

[shut hawk]

random number generator?

[loud marlin]

rek = ok... blue = not so much

[shadow loom]

my government one weekend urged everyone in the country to stock up on 3 days supply of bottled water, food and other things so we could survive 3 days without ability to go shopping

and

iodine pills

"just in case"

[loud marlin]

that is normal procedure

[shadow loom]

i.e. pills you eat in the event of a nuclear disaster

[lament tendon]

Blue is what makes atoms do the funny. :3

[loud marlin]

yes. iodine is great agains radiation

[shadow loom]

It's normal in some countries yea, but first time ever happening here since like the cold war

[gritty crypt]

I wonder what country

[naive violet]

3 days is short though

[loud marlin]

it sounds weird since is not common. there is much more of that what is in plan

[shadow loom]

so I was like "F- it, Imma buy a geiger counter for my dashboard too "

[shadow loom]

ye

[gritty crypt]

duh this information is very new to me

[shadow loom]

you're not Danish then

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[naive violet]

I'd like a geiger counter but the voltages bite

[loud marlin]

if nulear bomb falls, be happy if you die first. die from radioation poison is worst thing ever

[gritty crypt]

all you said is scary

[loud marlin]

organs turn into liquid, and yoi body falls apart in worst way

sounds scary cos it is 🙂

[naive violet]

The world is full of dangerous things. Understanding them makes them less scary

[gritty crypt]

man, I was unaware of all this

[loud marlin]

the botox, that ppl put in face is one of greatest and strongest poison on planet. one drop kills 100+ elephants

quite fascinating thing tbh

[lament tendon]

And it does not even look good. 😔

[gritty crypt]

[loud marlin]

dart amazon frogs also have "poison" 100x stronger than morphine. also great one for making pain killers

Gosh darn tenancy agreement!

What kind of agreement is that?

To not allow someone have a pet?

[slow helm]

get one then

[jagged moon]

Very common to have pets banned in rent agreements and agreements for sublet/share

Illegal in some places to do that. So i can have all the cats i want!

Clean!

wow, amazing

[rapid merlin]

Damnn

[rapid merlin]

Hella clean

Not clean. Introduce main method, don't declare things between methods on global context

Thanks guys

[knotty dome]

looks amazing, what kb and keycaps are those?

[jagged moon]

and denest

[rapid merlin]

I know im trash still

[jagged moon]

Not trash. You using methods instead of repetitive code mostly. Already very good

[knotty dome]

ah I see

[jagged moon]

@rapid merlin brutePass can probably be made recursive function for extra pretty

[lament tendon]

I'd argue it is fine like this.

Well the idea.

[jagged moon]

Not reusable in future. In case sqli, let's say

[lament tendon]

The code itself defo needs to be cleaned up.

[jagged moon]

Blind

[lament tendon]

Fair point.

[jagged moon]

Recursive one that does just one char and calls itself again depending on length would be

With minor modifications

[lament tendon]

You're correct.

I'd still clean up the code a bit before modifying tho.

[jagged moon]

[rapid merlin]

i didnt clean up yet

[lament tendon]

E.g.

dots = ((length)*"'")

could also be written like

dots = length * "."

[rapid merlin]

but I think theres a way to reuse it

if i modify it

[lament tendon]

Additionally, I would recommend adding some empty lines in between process steps to make it a bit more readable.

For example like this:

[jagged moon]

Add comments for stuff that is not immediately understandable or rewrite in a way that is immediately understandable

[rapid merlin]

o yea imma clean up soon and i have to add the ability to change "/login.php" path

[jagged moon]

You'll thank past you in ,2 years when you need a piece of this for something

[rapid merlin]

Wait a min what is "recursive function" xd

[lament tendon]

Comments are debatable.
I personally am against commenting stuff next to single lines of code, but method descriptions are completely valid.

[rapid merlin]

A function that calls itself

[lament tendon]

A function that calls itself.

[jagged moon]

A function that calls itself

[rapid merlin]

Mmm

LOL
