Hey, Is there any public api key for THM?

[sand trench]

t-minus 4 days ;-;

[pure ridge]

I want to access the leaderboard and implement it in my project

[sand trench]

quite sure the answer is no on public api

[naive violet]

The API is not intended for third party access

And if you do anything like that, you will not be able to get any support. As it's behind cloudflare, be gentle.

[pure ridge]

oh aight then

[rapid merlin]

hey does anyone know what the x's are in this ip addresss?

172.16.x.x

[sand trench]

placeholders

[naive violet]

Means it's a /16 range usually

[normal fable]

they are 0 through 255 for each octet.

[sand trench]

i.e any number from 0-255 as alt ez neatly pointed out

[rapid merlin]

what should I search on youtube to learn this

[normal fable]

and iirc 172.16 through 172.31 are private IP ranges.

[naive violet]

CIDR, subnetting, ip addressing

[normal fable]

CCNA course. 🤣

[pure ridge]

What is an IP Address, then search for subnetting and cidr

[normal fable]

subnetting, cidr notation, private IP address ranges. start there.

[rapid merlin]

ok thanks. im begginer

ultimately, google (and the other search engines) have already done the hard part of indexing damn near everything that's publicly visible - knowing how to search that data beyond "how to make minute rice in 57 seconds" lets you leverage this

random info: crowdstrike uses mac.
assuming they use the agent internally, things would've been a lot more problematic if they were all using windows as well

[mossy river]

no wonder it took so long to realise

[molten sky]

on the one hand...would they have caught it in earlier testing if they used windows? on the other hand...if they didn't (likely scenario), how much longer would it have taken to unfuck the internet? 🤷‍♂️

[mossy river]

I don't know how you don't test something like that though

it's weird

[molten sky]

i mean it wasn't even a feature update so it makes sense that they didn't test that update.... but the fact that they didn't test feeding the agent malformed data is an oversight

[normal fable]

Why are women's pockets in pants so... nonexistent??

[odd umbra]

Lets ask AI

[boreal scarab]

This.... I wsnt this

[wild rose]

it costs extra

[sick lance]

I'm sure I seen the same setup in "Flight of the Navigator".

That was an awesome film.

[odd umbra]

Could watch, 4, 5, maybe 6 youtube videos at once with this setup

[sick lance]

They had Edward nailed.

I'll let Ai off

[boreal scarab]

[sick lance]

I can create 10 TB Vm's

Because why not.

[lament tendon]

That is wild. And also prolly very expensive.

[odd umbra]

The power...

[buoyant tree]

performance would suffer also

[sand trench]

enterprise grade stuff so yeah very expensive

[sick lance]

I'm buying 2 or 3.

I have so much stuff.

I have like 8-9 500Gb/2TB HDD's CRAMMED.

[sand trench]

who is the dude on the big screen in the back???

[normal fable]

It's messing with ya at this pioint. lol

[lament tendon]

The thing is, ChatGPT converts your input into a DALL-E prompt. And if Dall-E sees a prompt that just contains the word "table", it will generate a table.

[boreal scarab]

That's Big Brother of course

[lament tendon]

My friend and I had a field day trying to generate a picture of a router without a chicken in it.

[boreal scarab]

.......

[lament tendon]

Just tell ChatGPT to generate you an image without a chicken. :)

Well.. as long as you know that your system may just up and crash.. Kali is not a great OS for bare metal. Usually just ran in a VM.

I'd much rather just use Ubuntu (which I do not like) and run Kali as a VM.

Did that, dunno how to think about going about this because the output just feels and looks 720p~ and not the usual crisp one. Could be my eyes playing a trick on me

[wild rose]

eye drops or take a screenshot and paste it here for conformation

[boreal scarab]

LMFAO

[lone thistle]

thm hello

how are we doing

[boreal scarab]

AI PICTURES!

[lone thistle]

this is all I see ngl

[boreal scarab]

Here you go @lone thistle

[lone thistle]

pog actually me

[boreal scarab]

Augments and all

[lone thistle]

may perhaps. I mean, hard boxes might have skills & techniques that an easy doesn't and vice versa. Boxes are very contextual.

Sure if you know how to do a SQLi that has filters on a hard box, then you should find it easier on an easy box that likely doesn't have them, but may not be the case if that makes sense? Or say if a hard box has mysql with filters, then suddenly an "easy" box has nosql, now what?

I would say master the fundamentals and progress in difficulty as appropriate. CTFs/boxes are very contextual, so it's hard to give a broad brush as it were

Yeah I understand. I think having a solid understanding of the fundamentals will give you a good baseline. Progress in dificulty once you're comfortable. An important skill is knowing what is happening and why. Easier boxes are a good introduction to that. Diving in at the deep end at least initially might be more confusing than it's worth

Fair enough. Best of luck 🙂

Learning is all individual. If that's what works for you then go ahead 😄

[royal dragon]

Shelf stacker 😦

Sorry, joking

It's all there was in my town lol

Lots of options out there, certainly

[lone thistle]

Any Jr role in IT that gets you a seat tbh. Jr, SOC, heck even helpdesk. For certs, it really depends on your location and what they're looking for. For example, CEH is pretty much only a hard requirement in India for example. For jr cybersec roles, Sec+ etc will probably be helpful.

But again, really depends on where you are and what companies are looking for. Take a look at job listings and they will likely list what certifications they are looking for

[royal dragon]

A little bit of engineering experience can't hurt

Infra, networking and communication skills.

[lone thistle]

Yes that is true. Why? I have no idea 😄

[tired peak]

ehh kinda not really

[royal dragon]

🤮

[tired peak]

the new guidance places less emphasis on certifications

and more on work experience

[royal dragon]

I know it's been a while, but never once has anyone given a crap about my credentials

Passion, a desire to learn, interest in your potential employer, humility and not being afraid to say "I don't know"

[tired peak]

the US government set a standard for awarding contracts / hiring employees... and apparently EC-council had gotten its claws into a person who influenced the list of certifications

[royal dragon]

But.. maybe I just got very, very, very, very lucky

[tired peak]

so CEH was on the list but so were 20 other certifications

but that guidance is mostly out the window now

[lone thistle]

100% showing a willingless to learn. A "I don't know, but I'll learn about that" goes much further than a simple "I don't know" or a totally wrong answer you're making up on the spot

[royal dragon]

Yeah

As soon as you BS.. you're done

[lone thistle]

gotta collect them like pokemon / scout badges 😄

[tired peak]

no no no, that wasn't the idea to get them all

[blazing granite]

you're only done if you can't keep with the BS 😂

[lone thistle]

I should've added a /s 😄

[royal dragon]

You'll slip up eventually

[tired peak]

I know

[lone thistle]

Zoija how are you doing?

[tired peak]

I'm good Ben, how you? 🙂

I'm about to go swimming with the hubs

[lone thistle]

Good to hear! Yeah doing pretty good here thanks. Same ol' same ol' y'know :D. Was recently sick for a little but back at it

[lone thistle]

Cool (: enjoy

[tired peak]

yeah I had Covid about a month ago, sucked

[lone thistle]

Aye yeah. Definitely one way to put it

[clear jackal]

I mean what else was around in 2003?

I wouldn't know, I was in kindergarten, but it was more than likely a right place right time for EC

[lone thistle]

I think I was throwing megablocs over my brothers head in 2003.

[clear jackal]

Yeah, I was in kindergarten

[normal fable]

I thought all you needed for gov contacts these days was sec+ and clearance.

[clear jackal]

DOD 8570 was released in 2005

[normal fable]

Guess it depends on the job

[tired peak]

true true

[normal fable]

All the info I have is second hand.. so .

[tired peak]

CISSP is older than CEH, Security+ came sometime after CEH

I mean, my company didn't even have firewalls until 2002

[normal fable]

People still have a CISSP requirement to pass HR for entry level sec roles. 🤣

[lone thistle]

Allllright. Bed time for me. Good night 👋

[normal fable]

Nite Ben

[tired peak]

ehh I attribute that more to people not knowing how to use job recruiting websites and job recruiting websites defaulting to 'entry level' as a job level

I think Indeed marks every job as entry level unless you change it otherwise

[clear jackal]

It depends on if it's a contract position or Federal civilian, Agency, sometimes location, contract language, supervising authority, etc etc

[normal fable]

Knew a guy straight out of school who took and passed CISSP exam.. too bad you need experience to actually hold that cert. Lol

[candid niche]

G'morning all

[pearl raven]

I'm very disenfranchised with the educational system over here.

Granted I wasn't an overachiever as a teen in Scotland either...

But they basically took my transcripts, said they were too old and didn't apply them to my current college course.

here is cold, I bet there is hot, so beer is probably more suitable

the people there didn't help, and the answer was nothing at all? just, I just want an answer, however....... the room is quiet and the people there seem arrogant,... just like teachers 🤔🤔ezzzzz🤦🤦, sorry I didn't mean that, to avoid misunderstanding

eh it's pretty nice out today and i've also got the AC cranked all day -- so we're comfy regardless

argentina? can't be THAT cold

[molten sky]

i just had a stroke reading that, but what i meant was did you mention the name of the room? cause i didn't see it, but i may have missed it as well

last week was -6 in the morning today was I guess 8 or 9 that's cold for me

[candid niche]

sitting at 8 degrees here in Aus

[molten sky]

8 or 9 ain't that bad but -3 is much lower than i expected

like it's fine but yeah heat 100%

crank that shit

[normal fable]

Just going to elaborate a little on this.
There is a pinned post in room-help that will tell you how to best ask a question.

[molten solar]

Stupid question time ... IS/IT Professionals out there, At what point, does your many years of career history should you have listed on your resume work against you in interviews

[blazing granite]

for me it's really bad 😂 I hate cold

[molten sky]

when you're applying for a role that asks for 3 YoE and you list 37

just depends on the role

[candid niche]

I'd say it would depend on the role. More experience for an entry lvl role can work aagainst you

[molten solar]

Haha. So you should only list 3 yrs of exp for a 3 yr job .. or 10 yr for a 10 yr job?

[normal fable]

Never. I don't list all 20+ years of work history or experience. Tailor your resume to the specific job.

[molten solar]

Dude.. i applied for ENTRY lvl roles. and Jaques told me they felt i was overqualified ... as a teenaged 2 yr of technical work experience on resume

[molten sky]

2, 3 years is a weird time

i will say that much

[crude stump]

Aye you passed?

[molten sky]

not quite 'junior' to many but also not entry level to many, so you get the worst of both it seems

[rapid merlin]

hey

[molten solar]

Meh. On paper, i went from 3 yrs of tech support to 14 yrs (Now more like 20) of sysadmin

[molten sky]

haven't seen a blue name here in a while

[molten solar]

err .22 yrs? Still working for/with them

[rapid merlin]

is that a bad thing

[molten solar]

ran out of fingers, need to borrow a hand

[rapid merlin]

?

[molten sky]

nah just stands out lol --- noticed the blue right away

[rapid merlin]

oh hahah

[blazing granite]

I got the your resume is impressive but we went with another candidate. It was impressive, just not impressive enough to get me an interview 😉 😂

[crude stump]

Ik a can’t judge a book by the cover but everytime someone who hasn’t spoken before says hi. They always follow up with a completely malicious question. Yall notice the pattern? Or just me

[molten solar]

@blazing granite I got the.. "It was down to you about 100km away, and the dude 4 minutes down the street"

[molten sky]

reminds me of

You didn't have the requisite 10 years of experience in X so we moved onto another candidate
* invented x 6 years ago*

[molten solar]

@blazing granite The truth was I ossint'd the hell out of my interviewer (IT was a security related job) and after about 3 open mic questions, I asked him how his skills at <former employer> worked out here after <insert big scary event realting to company name>.

You could hear him swallow his testicles over the phone

[rapid merlin]

whats the best things that i can do to get a job as a pentester

im currently 16 and ive got alot of time

[candid niche]

I had something similar recently. for a completely remote role they took a candidate that was local over me about 100ks away. They said if I was willing to relocate I would have got it. But im like its a 100% remote role?? why does it matter

[rapid merlin]

im willing to do anything

[crude stump]

Well it’s always great to start learning early

Pentesting is hard to get into entry level

[blazing granite]

usually pentester it's not an entry level job

[candid niche]

keep notes of every CTF / challenge you do, to build a "portfolio"

[molten solar]

Theres more to security than pentesting though.

Theres a LOT of soul crushing tedious auditing and reporting

[crude stump]

Factual statement

[molten solar]

And more auditing. then later, another audit

[normal fable]

Cloud security is pretty big rn.

[rapid merlin]

dang so what will i start out with when i get my first job

Soc is also kinda entry level friendly I guess

[blazing granite]

you start in a soc, and after a while you can move to incident responder, forensic or pentester, but it's very rare to land straight to pentesting if you don't have previous experience working in cyber sec

[crude stump]

That’s what I wanna do

I wanna start as a soc analyst

[rapid merlin]

what can i get with a security+

[candid niche]

SOC as a first job? damn I need to move to whatever country is offering that

[molten solar]

@rapid merlin Maybe an interview for an internship somewhere .. think your municipal ofices

[crude stump]

U.S.A?

[blazing granite]

there are some soc that hire entry positions, you won't be doing any serious stuff but it's useful to get your foot on the door 🙂

[candid niche]

I'm in Australia. I have 10 years in telecommunications ranging from front end support right through to wholesale backend networking and I've been told I need security experience before I'll be accepted for SOC

[rapid merlin]

damn so i cant do anything cool

[crude stump]

Damn

[crude stump]

Half the time you won’t be pentesting. Writing reports basically

[rapid merlin]

really

this is a sad awakening

[molten solar]

GEt good at explaining why having all their admin passwords admin123 is a bad thing.

[novel sentinel]

How do I get roles?

[crude stump]

Buttt if you really wanna be a pentester I say go for it

[blazing granite]

usually is help desk, network admin, soc, etc, but some places can take people with basic knowledge and train them

[rapid merlin]

apart from help desk what could i do

[rapid merlin]

would i be able to do anything wiithout work experience for a sysadmin or network engineer role

[molten solar]

You can have tons of sysadmin exp .. just start building vm's and learning

[rapid merlin]

i mean lke job exp

[candid niche]

yeah seems like no where in Aus are willing to take on someone without already industry exp. I'm doing a degree in cybersecurity atm, purely because it has a 12 week period of industry work via the uni so i'm going to use that to get my foot in the door

[blazing granite]

good idea

[crude stump]

Rex do you work in the cybersecurity industry?

[novel sentinel]

there we go

[molten solar]

Means you were passionate about supporting whatever it was you were going to be paid to support?

[crude stump]

What are you talking about

[novel sentinel]

how do the THM ranks work?

is mine the highest?

[molten sky]

yea

[crude stump]

Ya a

[novel sentinel]

oh

ig it doesn't mean shit?

[molten solar]

@fervent meteor Ah, im not sure passionate would be the right word there

[crude stump]

I mean you get access to advanced channels

But other then that

Idk what else lol

[novel sentinel]

i didnt know it was a thing until now

you know how folks want to be the best player in video games ranking wise?

[crude stump]

Yes

[novel sentinel]

i want to do that with BTLO and Hack The Box lol

[crude stump]

What’s btlo

Making me sign in just to see the damn site 💀

[novel sentinel]

lol

[molten sky]

if BTLO is anything like the exam content it's pretty solid

[novel sentinel]

it is

it was super helpful in understanding the materail

THM is more insane though

[crude stump]

Sounds fun

[novel sentinel]

like here is stick and rock now create a skyscraper

[crude stump]

What happens if you don’t pay for a subscription

[novel sentinel]

for BTLO?

[crude stump]

Is it like thm where you can’t do stuff

Yes

[novel sentinel]

you

[crude stump]

Bruh

[umbral bay]

Hello hello, no links to competitor platforms please. 🙂

[molten solar]

Ah. at least I know my wazuh virus reporting works

Other than internet explorer, what browser can I use in windows to download a naughty file the easy way

(Easy != passing cookie and login information into a curl req)

[blazing granite]

@umbral bay 👋

[umbral bay]

How are you this fine evening?

[blazing granite]

drinking whisky 🙂

[wooden totem]

found this

[novel sentinel]

what kind of rule is that?

[crude stump]

How did you test it

Did you just go to a virus infested site lol

[umbral bay]

The glory days. 😄

[novel sentinel]

This should be a place for us to prosper and spread education in the industry. BTLO has 1% of the users that THM does.

[crude stump]

Oh wait nvm

[molten sky]

ngl i'm not sure if i see btlo as a proper competitor like htb is anyways
bit of a different category in itself

like harley being a competitor of jeep --- sure they're both vehicles but..

[molten solar]

@crude stump I went to btlo and tried to download a file to my desktop ..

I wasn't intending on opening it on the desktop, just using the middleman since my fun boxes rarely have wan access

[novel sentinel]

i sent you a dm

[molten solar]

but .. I got like two msg's popups sayin X is known to be infected, are you sure you want to continue. you click yes you want to continue. "Are you sure you want to download the file" .. Yes i want to download the file . and then it says "Failed - Virus Detected"

So .. either that was windows defender and brave double teaming me.. or it doesnt matter which door you pick, you end up at the same destination client localfile has Windows Defender Logging for wazuh in it. so i'm betting that's what freaked out and refused the d/l

[rapid merlin]

can someone help me understand something with ip addresses. Im not getting it , in class a network. the range is 1.0.0.0 - 126.255. 255. 255. Does this means that every company that has class a network has 126 networks for themselves and a whole lot of ip addresses?

also where does the 126 networks come from? ( class a network)

[molten sky]

they sorta are but not quite

class a is [1-127].0.0.0

[deep oxide]

what is the command in -/desktop so it can run bro

[molten sky]

fuch i can't type

^ evidently

[blazing granite]

you need some whisky 😉

[molten sky]

anyways read up on subnet masks. not quite class a/b/c related but it'll help understand the numbering like why 127 specifically

also note that each number is an octet hence 0-255

i.e. 10.0.0.0/24 (mask 255.255.255.0) allowing for 10.0.0.[0-255]

but a /25 would bring you down to 10.0.0.[0-127] as seen in the range

[blazing granite]

it's nice to know the classes, but nowadays in practice it almost all CIDR

[molten sky]

(class A is /8 - /15 iirc)

[molten sky]

i don't think i've ever actually thought about what class was what

just oh i need mask /x

[blazing granite]

that's the reality of internet nowadays, classes were OK where ipv4 was king and people thought they have a lot of IPs to spear 😂

[rapid merlin]

Thank you so much man @molten sky I will definitely be reading about subnet masks. I was so confused 😂🙃😮‍💨

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @molten sky (current: #64 - 113)

[molten sky]

also to partially add an answer.... NOBODY is getting a class A in 2024 unless you're a sizeable ISP or the like

ipv4 addresses are worth way too much

and even then, ISPs are resorting to cgnat nastiness now

[blazing granite]

actually there aren't more ipv4 they natting the shit out of it 😂 😛

[molten sky]

also just know what the normally seen local ranges are and you're pretty much good tbh (i.e. 10.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/16....)
there's also a more extensive list of bogon ranges here but yeah not like anyone remembers what range TEST-NET-3 is, that's dumb and useless knowledge to have

subnet masks, local ranges, and the concept of what ranges are used where

[molten sky]

cgnat will be the death of me, i swear --- i hope i never get forced into it

[blazing granite]

I don't really get it, instead to make a really effort to adopt ipv6 and resolve the ip issue, people continue to put band aids, patch, etc. The "best effort was probably dual stack"

[molten sky]

huh. apparently 127.0.53.53 [ref] -- not a range, but the specific address, was added to the reserved list in 2014.

[molten sky]

i don't have any problem with migrating but so many things don't support it yet for no good reason... nobody supports it cause nobody uses it cause nobody supports it ......... etc etc

all my own stuff is set to support 🤷‍♂️

interesting reversal ---- when building pkgs on the fedora copr, you can ssh into the builder itself to test things and diagnose what hit the fan when builds fail
there's like a 50/50 shot for whether or not your builder will get a v4 OR a v6 address and not both. one or the other.

if you get an ipv4 address, that's what youre using this session. v6, then you're using v6

[blazing granite]

that's the whole point nobody put the effort, because almost everybody prefer a half ass patch, nat, dual stack at best, instead of tackling the problem and solve the issue as soon as possible.

[molten sky]

discord should have a setting to permanently disable all these annoying damn animations that cover your window when you open someone's profile

[blazing granite]

I wonder if IPoAC also run on ipv6 😉 😂

[molten sky]

ah crap it's already july

when april comes around they should address that
