Where’s the advanced channel

[boreal scarab]

@loud marlin so far so good

[torpid furnace]

[boreal scarab]

First layer is sticking. Printer settings look optimal

[mild silo]

Why are u not getting the rep 😭

[chilly veldt]

cause of timeout

[boreal scarab]

Just some filament stuck on the nozzle

[chilly veldt]

there's a timer on how fast you can rep people, to not abuse it

[torpid furnace]

Nooo man no advanced channel

For next

Me

[mild silo]

Could I like tag u in like a min so u get ur rep? (Not an abuse because she helped me)

[chilly veldt]

yeah, sure

[mild silo]

@chilly veldt thanks for the help

do u guys recommend to learn the paid rooms although i dont have premium (learn it somewhere else)

[static kettle]

hello

did someone took ejpt certificate ?

[chilly veldt]

I have

[static kettle]

can i DM u?

[chilly veldt]

Depends, what's it about?

[static kettle]

i want to know how to get the course material, or it is only videos and labs, and realted to the educational content

[chilly veldt]

Only the videos and labs

[static kettle]

cool
how to get them?

[chilly veldt]

But tbh, it's not worth it

[static kettle]

how much time do i need to finish this certificate

[chilly veldt]

eJPT is a shit cert

[static kettle]

why!

[chilly veldt]

You got 48 hours, many solves it in 7 cause it's so easy

[static kettle]

i want to become a read teamer and the roadmap contain the ejpt at the begining

this is why i want to take it

[chilly veldt]

Take something else instead

[static kettle]

moreover i dont know how to use linux

[static kettle]

what do u suggest

guide me plz

there is the eccpt but i think, that i should take the ejpt first or what?

[mild silo]

do u guys recommend to learn the paid rooms although i dont have premium (learn it somewhere else)

[chilly veldt]

PJPT instead of eJPT

I would not do any elearnsecurity

[static kettle]

if u can clarify more plz, what is the elearnsecurity?

[chilly veldt]

Those who make eJPT and eccpt etc.

[static kettle]

aha

okay what is the diffrence between both ejpt and pjpt?

can as i am a beginner can i take the pjpt?

[devout palm]

Hello TryHackMe

[chilly veldt]

Yeah, you can

[static kettle]

i will learn more about it before i decide.
btw, can u tell me who did u get the videos and labs of the ejpt?

[chilly veldt]

I got them when they were free, but they are paid now on their training site

[static kettle]

is it possible to send them?

[chilly veldt]

No

[tired peak]

(I would avoid INE/ejpt at all costs)

[static kettle]

what about pjpt then?

[chilly veldt]

They have course material on their site

[static kettle]

same problem? that it is too easy

[static kettle]

free?

[chilly veldt]

Not sure, might be part of the whole certificate price

[static kettle]

let me check

[buoyant tree]

Doesn't eJPT have more industry value than PJWT and PJPT

[static kettle]

this?
https://certifications.tcm-sec.com/pjpt/

[tired peak]

just they have gone way downhill in quality

I think either TCM or HTB certs may be a better option. I don't know if HTB had a junior pentest cert tho, I thought it was just junior web

[static kettle]

what is your role in cybersecurity?

are u a red teamer?

[tired peak]

I'm a cybersecurity architect

[static kettle]

do u have a red teaming roadmap?

[tired peak]

no. I would say there is not a single way to become part of a red team and a lot of it depends on country as well

[static kettle]

hmm

[sonic dust]

ejpt is terrible

take it from someone who took it

[static kettle]

i am dispersed

[sonic dust]

you have to subscribe like 20 bucks a month to get sub par training

[tired peak]

but really if you want to work in cybersecurity in general, having a solid knowledge of various technologies is useful

[sonic dust]

then its Q&A

[static kettle]

60$*

[sonic dust]

and you can kinda guess what the answers are gonna be or where to find the information based on the questions

id go PJPT

[tired peak]

networking, scripting, OS, web applications are all useful to learn

[sonic dust]

then PNPT

then get into crtp/e/o and cpts

[eternal timber]

how would you rate THM

[sonic dust]

ejpt is a waste

[crude stump]

10/10

[sonic dust]

good for beginners. the red team pathway is really good. i hear great things about capstone

[static kettle]

look i have a+ in cybersecurity and networks in my uni
and i studied the CC of ISC2, today was my exam and i failed....but i studied it anyway.
i think i need to some practicale stuff

[sonic dust]

after capstone id transition over to HTB

[eternal timber]

(I dont want to get banned)

joking

[eternal timber]

ah I see

[sonic dust]

the rooms are really good and some of the challenges are great as well

the networks are very good for experience.

id do these then tranisiton to HTB

[static kettle]

are u a red teamer?

[eternal timber]

Hack the box?

[sonic dust]

but if you want pentest certs that actually teach you start with pjpt/pnpt

yes

THM is great and it has a lot of functionality. HTB is very much more so advanced and can elevate what you learn from THM

[eternal timber]

So do I go to HTB after completing the Jr Pentesting path?'

[sonic dust]

thats up to you

the red team path and PT path are both very good

[static kettle]

@sonic dust

[jagged otter]

i thought you said go through to red team

[sonic dust]

i am not

[jagged otter]

sup panda

[sonic dust]

its all based on preference

i said the redteam capstone is great

[jagged otter]

hey zumi

[sonic dust]

i went thru the JPT the Pentest past and some of the red team path

then i tranisitoned over to HTB academy

[sonic dust]

sup

[static kettle]

can i dm u if i need to ask u about courses?

[jagged otter]

i'm good and about to shift my studying into high gear

[sonic dust]

but its all based on learning preference and such

i have ADHD so i swap around

[sonic dust]

sure

[eternal timber]

thank you

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @sonic dust (current: #1087 - 3)

[jagged otter]

i'm just going to learn all of it even if i need to go back over everything one more time then hit htb

[eternal timber]

I am studying till I throw up

[jagged otter]

i took a break yesterday

[sonic dust]

yeah the information is all good. i will say that HTB is a bit more advanced when it comes to things like the pentester path

[eternal timber]

HTB academy?

Ill try

[sonic dust]

yeah the pentester path goes into it pretty decently

[jagged otter]

plus you can get your certs there which i hear is pretty hard to pass

[sonic dust]

the cpts is one of the harder certs to pass

harder than ocsp

oscp**

[jagged otter]

but highly regarded

[sonic dust]

not yet. oscp is still the gold star

but its coming up

[jagged otter]

what uh oh

[sonic dust]

[jagged otter]

reread

filthy minds

[sick lance]

Can we please keep jokes as PG13 and for a professional work environment.

[sonic dust]

scrubz

[jagged otter]

did you read it?

[sick lance]

You knew fine what you were doing.

[eternal timber]

The HTB interface looks cool

[jagged otter]

it said my pen is in your mouth

so scrubz reread it

[eternal timber]

what else could that refer to lol

[jagged otter]

a pen

i just wrote it all together

[sick lance]

It's the oldest double entendre in the book...

[eternal timber]

I was going to say that I like chewing on pens but that is not appropriate info to share rn

[sick lance]

Is it also something you'd send to your boss?

[eternal timber]

bad habit

[jagged otter]

shewing on pens?

[eternal timber]

yes

[jagged otter]

that don't hurt your teeth?

[eternal timber]

I do it unconsciously

[jagged otter]

oh ok

as long as you weren't on "my strange addiction"

[eternal timber]

somehow almost at level 5

[eternal timber]

whats that

[jagged otter]

that crazy tv show

i saw a few episodes and was just crazy

[eternal timber]

is that where that one dude married a balloon or smth

[jagged otter]

i hope not

these people eat like foam on the bed, one was eating pebbles

crazy stuff

nah, maybe youtube it

you'll see what i mean

my girlfriend's mom watched that and i was like this real?

just nutters

i wouldn't even post it in here, i think it's that bad

lol

it'll be ok

[sick lance]

It was a question.

[jagged otter]

ok it was a 3rd grade joke

i know

i just like how the mind tricks you into seeing something that's not there

i didn't mean for anyone to get upset or into an argument

[tired peak]

do not ask in chat nor dm people asking to get paid content for free. This is an ethical server, so please review the rules

[static kettle]

no no, i didnt mean to get a cracked content, i am asking if there is an available material or someone have a free content on youtube or paid on udemy, anything like that, carck is haram any way dont worry

[tired peak]

ok good deal

[molten sky]

[granite tundra]

why sometimes hydra doest not give results even if the password is presented in the wordlist ?

[eternal timber]

Think it might just be more convenient for me to open THM in my VM and use that environment instead with how slow attack box has been lately(shit connection)

[clear jackal]

If you can dedicate more resources than what the attackbox provides, it will likely be a better experience

The convenience factor of the attackbox is high, but it's provisioned so that I can be deployed at scale without bankrupting the company

[eternal timber]

It’s normally fine. I’m just traveling and dealing with shitty connections

[mossy river]

@shut hawk crazy

[shut hawk]

8-11 comeback?

[mossy river]

AHahahah, no. For the first three rounds 3 people were AFK

[shut hawk]

[mossy river]

But the remake failed smh

[shut hawk]

how big is your squad

[mossy river]

I got another crazy clip hold up

[shut hawk]

just two?

[mossy river]

It's just me and a friend

[shut hawk]

I would play but I'm knackered

[mossy river]

I took a nap 😂

[shut hawk]

Lmao don't blame you tbh

I don't even think I have val installed

[molten sky]

~~ Rule 2 : relevance ~~

also hello

struggling to tell what game that even is, someone help me out here

[mossy river]

I can't send the clip 😔

Discord is bugging

[shut hawk]

it's Fortnite

[shut hawk]

im sure it was a l33t exxpic clip

[sand trench]

did axolotls become popular because of minecraft or were they popular before and hence minecraft added them???

[eternal timber]

Radiant gameplay?

[shut hawk]

I'd say popular before

One of my friends has one

[mossy river]

It was a 1v4

[shut hawk]

clutched up?

[mossy river]

ofc

[foggy dagger]

after some bugs on networking using WSL to reverse shell, listening ports, all that, I decided to switch to a good old VM, with kali installed.
It works so better..

[shut hawk]

yeah WSL isn't as reliable as a VM

[foggy dagger]

So sad 😦 ability to use linux tools without have to set a VM is a great possibility, with all the power of the computer, without having to set just a part. But dunno if it's WSL or windows firewall who block these tools

[sage wolf]

I tried to set up Kali on WSL, and I couldn't even update it because my ISP had like some of the links blocked or something

[shut hawk]

WSL 2 or 1?

What errors were you getting?

[scarlet tundra]

smn knows how to hack snapchat or instagram

[mossy river]

That is illegal and agasint our community rules

[scarlet tundra]

why?

[sand trench]

.... holy meeps

[mossy river]

Why what?

[scarlet tundra]

why is it illegal

[foggy dagger]

Wsl 2, and I don't have really an error. Just, when I run tcpdump on a shell, injecting the ping command on the other (enumerating telnet room), or nc listening on a side and the revshell payload on the other side, it does absolutely nothing.
Doing the same thing on my vbox Kali VM works immediately

[shut hawk]

Odd, would assume firewall then yea

[foggy dagger]

If I find something about that Ill let the community know

[mossy river]

Computer misuse and unauthorised access

[sand trench]

apparently there is 32 leds in the outer rings of the front fans on this pc

did trial and error in openrgb app to find that out

[sand trench]

Meep moop time for sleep sloop to the beep boop for shadow

[mossy river]

@shut hawk My team don't hold me down, I'm the problem

[shut hawk]

so close as well 😭

Also how did it end 12-13? No OT?

[mossy river]

Unrated

[shut hawk]

Now I'm going through all my settings and trying to perfect this.... really should perfect it on cheaper filament

This thing is 500g at $45

I can get 1kg of TPU for $25 at Microcenter... might do that

[crude stump]

Looks interesting

[buoyant tree]

Isn't it valorant

Quite confused

[raven smelt]

a

[shut hawk]

Yeah, I was messing

[buoyant tree]

Oh k, for a second thought fortnite added a gamemode like valorant

[fleet turtle]

"Meta introduced Prompt-Guard-86M to detect prompt injection attacks in AI models. However, researchers found this guard itself vulnerable to such attacks. It turns out Meta's Prompt-Guard-86M classifier model can be asked to "Ignore previous instructions" if you just add spaces between the letters and omit punctuation."

[mossy river]

I bought a gaming PC last year august because my course is impossible to do on a Mac

[white forum]

thats awesome

[mossy river]

It’s not 😂

[pearl raven]

Lol

[white forum]

too distracting?

[mossy river]

I could’ve spent the 1.2k that I spent on the mac on the tower

[boreal scarab]

Every time I hear the word "Grinder" I always think of the quote from Borderlands 2:

Captain Flint: "This ain't over.... griiiinder"

[pearl raven]

I built everyone in my house a 'gaming' PC. They don't play games with me...

[mossy river]

I’ve spent probably 3k on my tower and my macbook alone

[mossy river]

Ah that sucks

[white forum]

aw yea that sucks

[pearl raven]

It's okay, they are all in their late teens / adulthood.

[mossy river]

They’re your kids?

Got more important things to do right now that play games with Dad lol.

yeah.

macbook and a pc aint too bad tho they both got their pros and cons

is there a name for using ffuf to build a list of registered users?

[mossy river]

I’m 20 and he’s going on 50. He gets dizzy while playing, he prefers the retro games like centipede 😂

Sadly I don't think they realize what they are missing out on lol.

few years older than me lol, I'm in my 40s.

[fleet turtle]

oh its just called username enumeration lmao

[mossy river]

Mhm but imagine if I could’ve gotten a 4090 instead of a 3070 🤣

[mossy river]

Yup, it’ll hit them when they’re older

[pearl raven]

I went slightly budget with my card, 4070 ti super.

[white forum]

yea the hindsight

[mossy river]

I went super budget because I’m a uni student. Rent is more important 🫡

[mossy river]

[mossy river]

I know someone who has a 1080ti laptop and my god is it fat

[white forum]

Not really my thing however

I had a valorant phase a while ago

[white forum]

playing as oddjob on golden eye xD

[eternal timber]

Thankfully I didn’t turn into a valorant edater

[normal vessel]

I have a general cyber question- is there a good resource I can read for the correct order to enumerate and recon a target? like when I should run nmap/netcat etc

[autumn merlin]

Yes

[normal vessel]

I'm working on a tool to wrap a bunch of tools together and generate a quick report for me.

It's less about work and more about proving to potential recruiters I understand some basic principals

and also learning c++

oh I'm mostly replying to the first half "I dont wanna make you sad or anything"

yeah I'm looking over the tool right now and this is exactly what I wanted to reference

[maiden ibex]

Im looking to get into cyber security. I was recommended tryhackme by a friend who suggested I do this and a couple of courses instead of going to a 4 year university. How would I twist "I took a couple courses and studied on tryhackme" to be better than a 4 year degree?

[normal vessel]

It wont be better.

[fervent meteor]

normal pathways into cybersecurity is like developer, or IT support

[maiden ibex]

Unfortunate

Cost of that degree is 65k

Thanks for the quick reply

Like start at help desk kind of thing?

Okay

I assumed. I wouldve gotten into it a lot younger but I have the same mindset of everyone wants to do it and has wanted to do it since the launch of the computer

Just looking for a career

Any recommendations for which company to start with?

USA

Understandable though

Thanks again for the help

[ionic isle]

Or should he?

[clear jackal]

If you have the opportunity to attend a four year degree, do it

[maiden ibex]

I do not have the opportunity unfortunately

[clear jackal]

THM and a couple of courses is in no way a replacement

[maiden ibex]

Would it be possible to just get certs and work my way up through a company?

I am trying to find the cheapest possible option for entering this field

[clear jackal]

I'd look for scholarships or consider government service

[maiden ibex]

Fair

[clear jackal]

You can, people start on Helpdesk typically in that case, but a degree is going to become mandatory eventually. Management pretty much requires it and it's also a contract requirement for a lot of work

Do you have examples?

Oh, yeah, they'll put xyz degree type but realistically it just needs to be STEM

Obviously, STEM degrees closest to the role will be weighted higher

[normal vessel]

I actually have a slightly different experience

[clear jackal]

I know what you're talking about, but it's still a bachelor's degree

[normal vessel]

there's a lot of companies that default to stem, but certain things will elevate you over a stem degree.

[clear jackal]

Probably a contract requirement

[normal vessel]

If you're a high enough level on HTB and have a bunch of certs that would reflect that (CISSP/CEH/ + level) they won't care if you have a degree or not. Many if not most jobs I see now are "in lieu of stem degree please have xxxxx"

[molten sky]

some companies will lol

[normal vessel]

now that being said certain jobs are contractually required for you to have certain qualifications

[molten sky]

Ford recruiters will straight up hang up on you for instance

[normal vessel]

ford

[boreal scarab]

FFS.... if you are going to ask for an Info Sec Analyst junior position.... don't ask for bug bounty, or even experience working in info sec...

YOU ARE THE ENTRY LEVEL INTO INFO SEC

https://tenor.com/view/controlmypc-cat-screaming-discord-gif-20582295

[clear jackal]

Sources? The "in lieu of" is typically actual job experience. Not HTB

[tired peak]

we put STEM degrees on our security positions but when we hire people, they come from all walks

[molten sky]

if it says in lieu of, and even then, the recruiter can be picky.

[tired peak]

I've worked with people who have degrees in...
Biology, Psychology, Russian Literature, English Literature, and a bunch of other stuff

[fleet turtle]

"username=FUZZ&email=x&password=x&cpassword=x"
wtf is cpassword and what is the purpose of the =, x, and & operators here?

[molten sky]

a lot of companies have a stick up their ass about degrees meaning best and brightest so they end up getting greenest and dullest

[fleet turtle]

in this case what does the parameter do?

oh i see

would it work if i removed the x?

[tired peak]

requiring degrees is one way to cut down on applicants also sometimes contract requirements dictate

[fleet turtle]

and what is the function of & here?

im trying to make sure i understand the command before i move forward

there we go

+rep @fervent meteor

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @fervent meteor (current: #264 - 20)

[normal vessel]

When I say HTB exp I don't mean "has done half the modules" i mean "first blood caliber" person and you use it as a refernce for skill / personal project. It's kind of like black badges from defcon getting you offers for security no matter what degree/certs you have.

[molten sky]

not how employers see it

you'd need to be very good at articulating why not to make it count for anything

[normal vessel]

I literally know someone who was hired for their job based on CTF ranking + hackathon wins.

[molten sky]

i know someone who was hired with no experience and became VP

point?

[normal vessel]

HTB can be used as a project to show some experience.

that was my entire point

[molten sky]

we're talking about norms not exceptions and one offs

you can get a job in c suite at a F500 with no experience

you CAN

odds? low.

[fleet turtle]

yeah in this room its having me use it to build a list of registered users

[heady nova]

Sup peeps

[eternal garnet]

One million beers please

[fleet turtle]

mhm "If you try entering the username admin and fill in the other form fields with fake information, you'll see we get the error An account with this username already exists. We can use the existence of this error message to produce a list of valid usernames already signed up on the system by using the ffuf tool below. "

it gave me so many different tools to use but it looks like ffuf is the overall best

[eternal garnet]

Me rn my head hurts

[fleet turtle]

it has so many uses, it is a swiss army knife

lmao

does the -mr argument actually stand for anything?

oh i see

good to know

how can i save my names found from ffuf to a file..?

[molten sky]

@buoyant tree @boreal scarab regex mentioned

[fleet turtle]

wait im looking at a walkthrough and his is nice and simple while mine is a absolute mess

wtf

[boreal scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/ive-been-summoned-berry-mint-gif-26570751

[molten sky]

regex.
do y'all say reg- like reginald or reg- like egg --ex

thx for that insightful answer

[buoyant tree]

like egg

[fleet turtle]

why in the world is my ffuf all over the place

[molten sky]

i've always said reg[istry]ex but it is kinda weird considering it's regular

reg[istry]ular

[molten sky]

wrong

[tired peak]

like edge

[buoyant tree]

I think I pronounce it like

Reeg-x

[molten sky]

used to rejection?

[buoyant tree]

Like vegetable's

[molten sky]

regex is love regex is life

https://tenor.com/view/witchcraft-hunchback-of-notre-dame-frollo-animated-gif-19403567

[tired peak]

I haven't played this but there are a variety of websites out there to get better at regex
https://www.therobinlord.com/projects/slash-escape

[molten sky]

regex gets fun when you have to start escaping your escapes and escaped with more escapes then escape those escapes while also escaping the double escaped again so it doesn't lose the original escape

[buoyant tree]

that sounds like a nightmare

[molten sky]

like when people use regex in python without using raw strings for some reason

[buoyant tree]

hopefully syntax highlighting keeps up

[buoyant tree]

backticks are great

[molten sky]

don't need em when you're using raw strings but people are dumb and don't

[fleet turtle]

yeah wtf my ffuf is all over the place i cant even see the names sufficently lmao

[buoyant tree]

full screen

[molten sky]

| ffuf clan

[buoyant tree]

helps a LOT

[fleet turtle]

i went full screen and it was still absolutely horrendous

what is the command?

[buoyant tree]

Uh before you run it

I somehow broke discord

It then showed my nickname as changed but it didn't

[fleet turtle]

THANK GOODNESS

for christs sake

[buoyant tree]

No problem

Doesn't Fuff update the lines by using a \r so it's gonna make a file with thousands of lines

[fleet turtle]

i tried lmao and as far as i got was just people using nano and typing in the names manually

[buoyant tree]

Yeah I understand piping output

[fleet turtle]

oh there we go

the ">" operator works

[buoyant tree]

But in the case of ffuf I doubt it would work to a file directly in the same layout so some filtering would have to be done to remove teh status logs

[fleet turtle]

yeahhh

imma just delete those rq

[torpid furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/hacker-pc-meme-matrix-codes-gif-16730883

[tired peak]

if you are just learning linux, overthewire can get you started

https://overthewire.org/wargames/

[fleet turtle]

there we go, bruteforcing password done, username enumeration done, phew

ffuf is really a fantastic tool, can perform subdomain enumeration, username enumeration, password bruteforcing, directory enumeration

alright, i understand many more things than i did before today

very nice

[pearl raven]

This, with research.

man pages, -h --help etc.

Great for self learning.

[candid niche]

Good Afternoon THM

[fleet turtle]

👋

about to do my first CTF

i dont plan on getting the flag, since i need to escalate my privileges to get the flag, and i dont quite know that yet

but it does have a decent bit of enumeration and fuzzing, which is great to practice what ive learnt so far

[molten sky]

sudo pls

[candid niche]

which one?

[candid niche]

oh nice! GL

[fleet turtle]

appreciate it

yeah i def was able to reinforce my enumeration learning, but not gain any form of access

[torpid furnace]

@fleet turtle try rootme it’s easy

[fleet turtle]

i only know enumeration for the most part

[torpid furnace]

I have a write up in my bio on it if u wanna read it

Oh yeah yall i have the dumbest story for yall, i have old laptop, HDD broke so after a while i buy SD card to boot from cuz SSD expensive and HDD slow, but laptop doesnt support booting from the sd card slot, i dont want to return it because too long of a drive so instead i install linux on SD anyway and i chroot into it while also binding any important folders to the mounted SD card but now graphic dont work. I couldn’t figure this out but eventually i realized that i just had to run “xhost +local:” so that the graphics drivers could run from anywhere on the system so now i have a linux SD card (i also wrote bash scripts to automate setup and takedown

[molten sky]

wtf kinda life are you living where that's a thing that happens
unless you just give off a certain kinda vibe to people

[gritty fern]

Anyway i need to sleep cuz ima be driving tmrw

[weary veldt]

Fit n fine

[fleet turtle]

such ease of access to information on sites such as HTB and THM is a blessing and nothing less

[fleet turtle]

holy shit man

why is mr robot throwing curveballs at me

s1 ep8, 39 minutes in

im not gonna spoil

[polar wraith]

htb ❌
thm

[fleet turtle]

as much as i love thm, htb is still a helpful resource for many that shouldnt be taken for granted

[sinful moon]

HTB is a bit better when you get the fundamentals down from THM. They do have a HTB Academy feature, but its much less accessible than THM’s platform for learning

just good for going in on more challenge/CTF focused stuff once you get stuff down

but yeah THM has those as well

[polar wraith]

i completed hackthebox's penetration learning path and bug bounty learning path, they were bad af

[sinful moon]

lol totally fair, I only sampled a bit of it and wasn’t all that taken with it

[tepid furnace]

htb academy is great

but if you have the linux fundementals down it makes it better

[polar wraith]

but ye htb machines >>>>

[sinful moon]

I will say they have some very interesting paths that are not in THM in any form

[tepid furnace]

start off with thm to get some Idea of linux and cli and then from then go towards htb

the htb machines are genrally better imo but

thm is a wonderful place for beginners

[sinful moon]

mhmm, that is kinda more what I mean though, I do think THM is a better intro

[tepid furnace]

thm also holds your hand more then htb

[sinful moon]

and HTB to try later

[fleet turtle]

thm is a great accessible resource for learning and reinforcement
htb is more for reinforcement and consistency, both of them are helpful once you have a foothold, and without them cybersecurity wouldnt be as easy to learn, both different categories, but they are both helpful in the industry

[tepid furnace]

htb will not tell you everything you need for a box / path

it will teach you to do your own research

which is an invalueble skill tbh

[sinful moon]

Mhmm lovely for that

[fleet turtle]

it teaches you to find your own way, to troubleshoot, and gives you something to test on, THM gives you what you need to know, makes sure you understand it, builds on it, and gives you something to test on

[tepid furnace]

yesnt?

[sinful moon]

You’ll breeze through the easy ones but it’ll get interesting and tricky before long

[tepid furnace]

I would say that's almost 100% right from dagger

whoa whoa whoa

no need to say that

[fleet turtle]

tryhackme is sufficent for many many types of people and levels of experience

[sinful moon]

They do have some rooms which introduce more advanced subjects. Also good for people like me who was into this stuff in the 00s and suddenly needed to catch up for my job in the 2020s

[tepid furnace]

yeah that's fair

sometimes I wish thm would dive deeper on a few topics

or give you a rougher around the edge room a few times

by that I mean it's trickier

or like an indepth grep room

most people I've talked to only have a shallow use of grep when it's easily one of the most important tools

[fleet turtle]

well you know i take that as an opportunity to do my own research and make sure im not entirely dependent on it walking me through

[sinful moon]

imho thats just why you supplement it with external learning but yea, that’s a self motivated goal

[tepid furnace]

go right ahead man

be sure to be taking notes and building a knowledge base

[sinful moon]

Agreed

[tepid furnace]

feel free to talk to the dumbass strangers when you get stuck sometimes

sometimes they might know how to help :)

[sinful moon]

Kinda addicted to my Markdown notes

[fleet turtle]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-krusty-krab-crawling-crawl-fish-gif-12745135769617083309

[sinful moon]

Nice, keep it up c:

[tepid furnace]

remember though

dont just do rooms for the xp

do it for the knowledge

[sinful moon]

Yeah that bit I said above about expanding your research beyond THM is good

mhmm, that too

[tepid furnace]

yea

im sure you can atest that in the field you cant possibly know everything due to the nature of the field

[fleet turtle]

yeah ofc, the xp is just a good motivator

[tepid furnace]

so having good notes / having methods to finding out new exploits and fixes is important

[fleet turtle]

one of many motivators

[tepid furnace]

the mitre room is great

[sinful moon]

lol I know I cheezed a few THM rooms with newer exploits than they were designed for, but yeah that was cheating myself out of the lesson effectively

less than ideal even if it was neat lol

[tepid furnace]

yeah fair

if anything I wish thm would have a few good "testing" options

it could help them branch out to schools more

like instead of a set room and answer set you would have something like how cisco tests are done where the information changes

or well is "randomly generated"

like when setting up routers etc in networking

it would also help users get a sense of "wow I can't believe I knew how to do that"

[sinful moon]

Probably very difficult to administrate, officiate, and especially interact with local goverments depending on the scope of your plan. On a larger scope, it’s very hard to compete the the professional certs that we have, and they can be aggressive in protecting their lead

[tepid furnace]

That can be true

[sick lance]

In your opinion...

[tepid furnace]

when I was in highschool though through "PLTW" or "Project Lead the Way" they offered a cybersec course and a networking course

[sick lance]

However let's not compare two platforms.

[sinful moon]

Yeah I’d disagree there myself as well lol

[tepid furnace]

although the cybersec stuff was not very deep

but it did cover some wireshark and general xss

as well as networking topics and a few other things

[polar wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/bad-opinion-opinion-gif-22134945

jkjk

[sinful moon]

Nice, heck that’s way more than my IT classes ever did by far

[tepid furnace]

well yeah

im kinda kicking myself in the foot though

[sinful moon]

I was the one um pushing the limits rather than my teachers and that is the last I’ll speak of that lol

[sick lance]

That's not an opinion.

Its a moderator telliing you not to say which is better between two platforms in one of their servers.

[tepid furnace]

I didnt realize that if I had paid the 200$ I could've walked out of highschool cisco certified in networking

[ionic pagoda]

OSCP vs CPTS vs PNPT

[polar wraith]

alralr

[tepid furnace]

97/100 on the final exam

although all the information except the osi model and general info was on cisco devices

so very specific

[sick lance]

@rapid merlin still waiting for an answer.

[sinful moon]

although lol I taught the web design class for like three+ days after the teacher was like “OKAY XHTML IS IN ALL CAPS”, and I was like “no that’s literally against the spec”

[tepid furnace]

thats fair

[sinful moon]

Did literally teach the class HTML until we finally got Dreamweaver provisioned on our machines lol

[tepid furnace]

I still remember doing some funny stuff in it essentials

[polar wraith]

he got off because apparently he was "wasting time talking to dumbass strangwrs"

[tepid furnace]

for one of the other classmates test I got to come up with a fictional problem

I told him that hypothetically 4 of his cpu cores were overheating while the rest were fine

[sinful moon]

[tepid furnace]

but they were all localized to the bottom right of the chip

he was freaking out though

he didnt think about the thermal paste

always the thermal paste

[sinful moon]

Linux, I’d just figure out how to temporarily disable the core

[tepid furnace]

it essentials at my school was building a pc/ knowing componets etc

[sinful moon]

yep that makes sense as well but isn’t as likely to be a point of wear super quick

[tepid furnace]

installing os

and setting up windows

no but if you just built the machine

[sinful moon]

totally fair

[tepid furnace]

a good place to start would be checking to make sure the cooler was installed correctly

and then thermal paste

[molten sky]

lmao i didn't even realize he said thm discord, i thought he just lost his account

[sinful moon]

I grew up with a bunch of retro PCs I fixed up, but ultimately a ton of VMs and emulators for me to continue some of that fun

Still have PIII and P4 machines I’ve kept since back in the day

[tepid furnace]

sheesh

[sinful moon]

sorry I can’t resist showing the photo lol

Did upgrade from 500Mhz 1st gen PIII to 800Mhz 2nd gen PIII, and sidegraded from Nvidia TNT2 to 3dfx Voodoo 3 2000

Also lol Alps switches in the Dell AT101W keyboard I anachronistically paired with this machine. That keyboard is indeed lovely

Much earlier keyboard for Dell, they were on the membrane Dell QuietKey by then

[fleet turtle]

wow, thats interesting

[sinful moon]

Thanks, yeah it’s quite a fun machine to use, and yea killer keyboard

[fleet turtle]

i think the first computer i ever used was a MSI GT73

[sinful moon]

whew

meanwhile the above desktop is what I used with Win 2K in the early 00s as a hand me down 🙃

[fleet turtle]

yeahh very different lmao

[sinful moon]

still no idea what possessed me to try Win 2K at that early of an age but it was a perfect choice for the hardware

mhmm lol, I was early teens by early 00s

lol if nothing else, you will never need to miss having to belly carry a CRT TV/Monitor up the stairs

less than fun needless to say lol

[sullen hearth]

The magic was happening if you couldn't carry anymore 😄

[sinful moon]

lol indeed, I think that 18” ish monitor is probably about the heaviest I could carry

but dat 1600x1200 at 75Hz, higher refresh at lower resolutions

Sony Trinitron c:

[sullen hearth]

Idk which size that one tv had but it was me an a friend so it took two guys to carry this monster down stairs.

[sinful moon]

Yeah they got insane at 30” and beyond (nearly a meter)

[fleet turtle]

[sinful moon]

Totally don’t have like an 18 year old Steam profile tho so, make of that what you will lol

[sullen hearth]

Yeah. Im not that much in gaming anymore

[sinful moon]

Oh I was thinking surgery simulator, but yeah I’ve heard of that as well

[sinful moon]

Too bad but fair enough

[sullen hearth]

It's like "Hey friends, i've found some new stuff"
Friends: ah new... riight^^

[sinful moon]

I’m nearly 32 and still firmly commited to gaming but fair just one of my big hobbies

[sullen hearth]

Unfortunately yes -.-

[sinful moon]

my first real gaming or tech experience c:

[sullen hearth]

Found a complete, cheap old commodore c64 yesterday

Sega 🥳

[sinful moon]

Heck yes!

I’m all about Commodore as well c:

I got my parent’s C64 and A500 out of storage in the early 00s

[sullen hearth]

100bugs... i think i will grab it

[sinful moon]

Still have that A500, NTSC no less lol, not common

Related, let me show my pimped out emulated Amiga workbench 3.1 setup

[sullen hearth]

Amiga

[sinful moon]

[sullen hearth]

[pearl lagoon]

[pearl lagoon]

[sinful moon]

[sullen hearth]

Means we are old but gold

[sinful moon]

[pearl lagoon]

Oh but how?

Thats the definition of the word?
