what course ?
So even if you fail the first time
You;re good
TCM security courses
That comes with pnpt now
oh nice
i have 4
i got when they were individually bought
now it's a subscripton
I bought every course required for the pnpt when you could only give the exam as well
But then they required you to buy the course with the exam
so i had to pay twice
I have there courses for lifetime ( the one i bought before they made that change) π
These are the ones i got my hands on foooo life
I just have to complete the external pentest playbook and web section of PEH and i'm good to go for the exam
Lolz
There windows privesc and linux privesc courses are not worth it in my opinion . But PEH,osint,external pentest playbook are great
You can learn way better from THM on those topisc
Got all my courses for 1$
They're also on thm by the way
same
: D
But now you have to pay like 100+ usd for them anyways if you wish to take the exam
Yeah . I've done the rooms very basic
I don't need their exams, I have no plans for certs until after Uni.
Cool
Then you start stackin'
I dont like coaching and stuff like that, but heath is a very good instructor
Hopefully with a company paying for them π
very one on one aproach to teaching
Very good
gotta aknowledge that
Specially when he teaches Osint and AD
and the fact he covers documentation's and his experience is priceless
Dude this is the first time i'm watching "HOW MUCH IS YOUR OUTFIT " On youtube . People are f..ckin stupid
They would pay anything for a logo
one of the only ytbers i watch on my spare time
OMG
i miss when supreme was a skateboarding label hahahahha
I watch him during lunch and dinner usually
: D
I mean if you are that crazy for a logo . Just buy a duplicate from aliexpress
Do you have any recommendations on youtubers ?
why pay hundreds of doller for stupid shit
HackerSploit is nice too
meeh
Not really for me
I don't like people who only talk about tips and tricks
no value
just content
I will share some with you give me a sec
the problem with these people is: theres always a catch to it
like
disable defender
or firewall
I mean if you understand the underlying stuff you will discover most of the tricks on you rown
...
Ok thanks
Gave +1 Rep to @remote swallow (current: #663 - 6)
Yee rep fo rme
Idk if i can send you a link from my own website ( it includes all the links and stuff) . don't read my blogs they are shit the website itself is shit
didnt recognize you with your new nickname
There are some other youtubers that aren't hacking, but still teach our mystic arts in a different way. Chris Ramsay for example, solves sequential puzzle boxes. the mindset is the same as hcking. Also Simon Wilson - Even if he doesnt market it as such, what he does is social engineering and he's good at it.
Yeah people were asking alot of questions about the name . Got tired
haha
no questions for makarov we have all played COD
How are you , How's your weekend going ?
ehhhh yeah totally (no I havnt, hahaha)
good good, hbu
Doing great as well. Took the day off so probably gonna spend it here π
nice!
a... whole day off? Luckyyyyy!
remember: no russian

That's it form me guys, bed time
Thank yyou for the recomendations < 3
good night!

9 stickers . where you gonna put em all ?
was wondering that too, hehe
What are you gonna do with 18.... Haha, I was asking the same thig π
Probably on his car,frontdoor,backdoor,computer,mobile a few on the forehead
Tru luv for THM
valid
I would say he'd tag Jabba... but Jabba does that himself
I do what
It's not 9, it's 18 
You tag yourself with THM
2 on my laptop,.the rest in the words of the Shakira.
"Whenever wherever"
Yeah different stickers make sense but having 9 same stickers is wild
Ah. we we should... ask your hips if we want a truthful answer?
I'll trade em for besides stickers.
Bro put stickers in place of pokemon cards
Trading stickers . This is the first time i'm hearing that
I mean if i can trade few stickers ( ahmm might have bought from aliexpress for cheap) . Can i trade that for a original hoodie : D
Mix between that and mario.

is there anyone i can ask him about something
Ask what?
Morning
I am stuck in a beginner room, is there anybody i can ask for a little bit of help?
i came to this comment on reddit and i stood there and start thinkin this why whenever i reboot my vm everything reset
(" This is more of a VM issue, it's not really related to Docker. When you set up a VM, you typically need to boot from the ISO (the installation media), which will boot into the OS you will be installing, and then you need to run the installer. Have you actually installed Lubuntu to your VM, or are you just booting from the ISO? Booting from the ISO will give you very little space and will also clear any persistent storage every reboot.
I see your VM has the ISO still in it- you are probably booting from the ISO whether you intend to or not. If you've already gone through the Lubuntu installation process, go ahead and remove the ISO from your VM so you are booting into your actual installed machine. If you haven't gone through the installation yet, do that (there should be an icon on the desktop) and then remove the ISO from the VM.
Good luck, and let me know if you run into issues! ")
how can i do what he just said
This is about the boot order.
Boot Order:
- USB (CD-ROM, ISO)
- Disk
- Network
...
Usually, when you install the system from the ISO onto the disk, the boot order is updated (at least, it does for me using virt-manager). If it isn't done automatically, you can do it by changing the boot options and changing the order to prioritise (move up) the Disk (SATA, VirtIO, ...)
So on the next boot it starts the system from Disk (installed) instead of booting from the CD (ISO)
@tranquil osprey In a room i need to connect to a ftp server, but when i run nmap command i obly have ssh and http, and i can't complete the challenge. Any tips? (i am complete beginner)
what room
- anything related to a room is on #room-help
https://tryhackme.com/r/room/intronetworksecurity the challenge called "Practical Example of Network Security"
Oh okay
Like this, I just added the CDROM to show you
is this inside the vm or from the vm provider like virtualbox ?
The provider, all of them have similar options to configure it
Yep, once you have installed on it
I haven't seen the drive for ages
I was cleaning out a cupboard and found a couple of audio CDs. realised the only thing I own that can take a CD is the PS4 π
Even my car doesnt have one :p
They all got USB now
Aye. And streaming for our media-hunger

Hi guys I am new here
He wrote some of the code
Hi new here, I'm bella
welcome bella
Your grandpa? cool
its a genetical thing i guess
Just recently actually lol
Got myself a DJI Mini 3, I've been trying to jailbreak the controller to side-load apps on it
They are like 3D printed save icons
hey bork i did what you just said but still if i reboot the machine all i did resets
I am just learning programing
Yeah, one of the first that got educated in edb in Denmark
That looks nice. Which console is it for?
My dad is a woodworker lmao

Why was I invited here?
hardworking dad i guess
Because I wanted to invite you for coffee.

Let's move to #quiet-conversation
Share an image of you booting into the VM
sure
Some of my relics
as is tradition
Yup
Guysssss what do we do here
Talk about random stuff
Talk about the golden days of computers
Enjoy the friends we create
and earn the right to mildly insult said friends.
The code shown in the first two pics is 40 year old SQL code and basic7 code
Well SQL diagram
K I will enjoy then
I remember learning some Basic when I was super young
Basic7 was already too old when I was 3
Was probably too old when I learned it, to be honest
did anyone read Phrack's last publication?
I am just a kid I don't know a lot about coding but I know a little bit about python
Probably years ago, yeah
Can I learn programming here
nuclear - being a 'kid' is no reason. we have plenty of young folk on here who are surprisingly good at coding.
A bit, but thats not really the primary focus
Not only coding but hacking, I hacked my first "thing" at 6.
And the server is more focused on hacking than programming.
We have a whole site dedicated to teaching. TryHackMe.com π
oh yeah esqy, you wanna see a cool badge I've gotten?
Always.
oooh, Nice π Well done!
thanks!
did you take part in that yearly thing?
Oh sweet. The timings were always bad for me. They's start at 9pm and finish at 5am in my time
What drone you got? I need one just to inspect the roofing, nothing fancy
Surely you could borrow one from someone, Beerise?
last one was US timing, the one before was EU timing
Dunno who has one 
Ahhh, sweet. guess I've been away for too long. as always
yeah, happens
It's cool in a way. I mean, I get to see how much people have acheived whenever I come back. Like how levelled up you are in adulting for example π
yeah, a lot happens every time
right now I am slowly dying from writing Cisco IOS scripts π
trying to pass CCNP Enterprise: Advanced Routing in one week instead of 4 weeks and 2 days π
You'll smash that.
I am already 3-4 labs ahead of my classmates
ah. you're "that" classmate π
Mini 3, if you just want one for the roofing then tbh I'd just get a cheap knock of
yes, sadly
cause school is too low level
That happens when a person is genuinly interested i9n the subject matter, instead of doing the steps to tick the box
if you look at my grades you can see that I have aced all classes the last 2-3 years
I would look at your grades, but hax0ring your sk00l is unethical π

But thats cool. Setting yourself a good foundation for the future
but you can look at my scripts for the CCNP labs π
https://github.com/KyootyBella/CCNP-Advanced-routing-labs
Many folk who find stuff 'too easy' just slack off and get bad grades which.. well, makes them look bad on paper, even though they get featured on /r/iamverysmart
Good on ya, bella
thanks, the best part, it gives me access to much more by being so high up.
I have a personal server laying in schools datacenter now 
Privesc. Gotcha :p
sweet talk the teachers :p
thats an interesting scale
UK changed from A-F to a 0-9 scale shortly after I left school
no idea why
Although final uni grades are weird. 1st, 2nd (upper), 2nd (lower) and 3rd. The 2nd one are also a 2:1 and a 2:2
Although my guess is that so many people would get a 2nd, they had to split it somehow, as it coupld be kinda disengenuous
yeah, and they switch it back at A-levels, bit odd
huh. do you have a GPA from those numbers?
i thought it was only US that had GPAs
we have an average
but uni classes also follow an ECTS weight
sekai ctf bella?
of course
Why is that funny? π€
that's my sense of humor
why are you questioning it?
..I obviously couldn't see why it was funny.
people have different senses of humor, please respect mine
You do you I suppose.
... What a bizarre conversation lmfao
Kali is still a terrible choice for an OS.
They're just trying to be edgy.
LMFAO
especially as a main OS
stop assuming things about me I don't know you
Aye, it's very funny
might need it
I'm not assuming,
I'm going on our past conversations and your general attitude overall.
Or use a VM π€·ββοΈ
They'll probably switch to that after a fortnight of daily driving Kali and they end breaking something.
Like a normal person 
yeah
jesus christ
found out my network chipset on my laptop supports monitor mode
Most of them do nowadays
Saves you buying an external.
Still lesser power/range
I got one from my college.
yeah, we had to do wifi attack at school, and I was like "hmm, wonder if this works"
no issues at all
If I can ask, what kinda attack?
WPA3 downgrade attack and also a handshake bruteforce
Oh, downgrade cool
Muri, come talk at G3C for me.
Dragonfly for WPA3 too?
yeah, something like that, but the ones who set it all up, set it up without having any clients connect to the wifi
so we couldn't do any attacks π
mhm nice
I'm gonna bug you every day until you say yes.
Us fourth years need to set it up. yay
I am dual booting Kali + have a backup recovery plan ready to go
ew dual boot
I dunno what's worse.
Dual boot Kali or daily driving it.
(I am allowed to say that, I do that too)
dual boot β€οΈ
dualbooting and daily driving it at the same time
thanks jay for bringing light and sentience to this discussion

One day, /dev/sdaX* is gonna mess up. I think the ntfs-3g driver is or was buggy. It corrupted my Windows partition, had to manually fix it all night; the partition tables and filesystem π
I need to fix my kali VM, the cursor is bugging.
When I wrote something on the Windows partition from Linux
If you hold an arrow for longer than 1 second it will just keep going, as if it's stuck.
I dual boot arch and a recovery linux for when arch breaks
I am doing something lighter than that
I just use the VM through terminal, headless VM βοΈπ
I am dual booting Kali and Win11
(and having Kali w/ recovery)
it's working fine for me, I have been doing this for like three to four months now
the way to go
Just a little advice, setup timeshift with BTRFS and /boot on a separate partition
yeah, but it's still not lighter than an arch and just a basic linux setup with network drivers and arch-chroot
I think legitimately the best advice I got in that regard was from a... brazilian cybersecurity influencer...
I forgot what he did but he basically taught beginners to use kali through a CLI and hold something in a free cloud service
can I learn game hacking in tryhackme? I'm currently going through the malware analysis module to learn the reverse engineering part.
Yes,
and nowadays I think wow I wish I could just go back to that and actually understand what he was trying to teach, that's actually genius
Just choose the red team/Jr Pentest path.
Better for professional work maybe, separation of concerns
that is the most secure way to use an OS I can imagine
I actually have an interesting story with the big hacking bois from brazil
L
there's this guy called VandaTheGod who was worldwide known for hacktivism
Yarp.
Thought he was doxed by other hackers, seen that a few times
and I reached out to him because I wanted to teach him basic portuguese, just to help him out in life so he could leave that path and try working formally
then I found out he was a real savant, he is illiterate, but technically one of the biggest hackers ever
that was fascinating to me, I wish I could have helped him get out of that path he was taking, but I am not a mental health professional to know how to properly help a savant
Oh, they were blackhat.
yeah, they weren't just hacktivists, but they also stole data from medical centers
Let's not promote them in here please π
About?
Vanda?
I don't know, I just knew him through the news
and when I looked up his name, every headline was calling him a hacking god or whatever, I was like wow okay
I checked his twitter and tried to help him out with life stuff to get him out of the bad side of things
Did he... Want... Help?
π€·ββοΈ
yes
Huh
Anyway, moving on from blackhats.
it's a good convention though
wouldn't mind going for some learning
yes, let's not post about USDoD

Meet Miso π»ββοΈ
Morning
Ooh, I have a question for everyone.
What do you think of writing cards for someoneβs birthday?
SO CUTE
Nice gesture
Let me present you, Santa under the Christmas tree and the cat present
Thank you, we have her for a week now!
Gave +1 Rep to @mossy river (current: #6 - 1311)
I am trying to find my cat cow
See I donβt think so unless you have something special to write.
I hate writing cards when I only have something generic to say. I prefer to just buy presents
Write about a little reference of that persons hobby or job (if they like their job) can be in a cheeky way. So they have a laugh about it and therefore remember it.
Nice but hard and stressful to do because I always want to write something fun
I like receiving cards, especially when itβs from someone you really donβt expect, I keep all my cards π«‘
Yeah p much what you just said
I've not given cards in so long,
For my partner I ask the children to draw a card
This is my cat, cow
I donβt know, I feel like it has to be more personal?
Outsourcing the hard work huh
I usually tag along on my parents writing cards, I am still in that stage
Iβm glad Iβm not the only one who finds it hard and stressful
It totally is
and if it's friends birthday or something I just give them a gift or a sweet text
100%
Card companies get too much money with Xmas and Valentine's day anyway
Itβs my friendβs birthday coming up and I have a ton of presents for her but now Iβm wondering if I should get a cardβ¦ lol
See I still draw in my cards π
I will write something generic and then draw them something so itβs not so empty ahah
If itβs for someone you donβt interact too often, idkβ¦
I was having in mind like the scenario of me and my gf. She would write something involving programming or hacking.
my partner is great at these things
he will bake cakes for me on bday with birds and insects on them and shit like that
Can I borrow them for a day? π
no
Is there a limit on how often you can extend a mashines expire time thingy
π
So mean π
hahaha
I much prefer to put a ton of effort into a gift
Like I will spend months researching and planning a gift for the people close to me
100% success rate so far
he made me a mantis cake.. a caterpillar cake... a bird cake.. π
oh, orca cake too!
All on the same birthday? π
whaha
kakapo cake
Looks nice
THAT IS SO COOL
tldr if you dont know what to write, I think a nice thoughtful gift with effort is better for both your own anxiety and them π
That is exactly my thought process ahah
I like to show people that I have been listening to them
uhuh
Although this birthday I might have bought too much π
Too many thoughts in my brain and I really donβt like waiting π
Wait till next year? Pfft, buy it all now
whaha I just told him about this convo and I joked Γm expecting a DMC cake this year" and he said "funny you say that...."
hahahah
ah Im sure they will appreciate it lots π
ππ
Damn
They donβt have a choice pfft π
No, it's a real mantis. 
Yeah, she uploaded a video of it recently.
Wow
Guys, is anyone familiar with ACPI via I2C interfaces?
There's this proprietary physical plug-n-play key that comes with my laptop, which has a Mifare NFC chip on it. You can look for ASUS Keystone.
I thought, I could repurpose it in some useful way on Linux.
I found its driver in Windows (comes with ASUS util), tried to reverse it but to no success π₯²
lots of low level NFC stuff, but I figured out the WMI code for the plug-in/out events
ATM, I can detect if the key is plugged or not with success
I been slack messaging on here. Been busy as last week and now took crook.
Does it enumerate as a character device? Have you looked in dmesg for plug/unplug events in Linux?
i2c is going to be pretty low level, it probably connects to smbus which is i2c on motherboards, has some extensions but largely the same as i2c
No, it's not a char device. There's none.
Also, it's not currently in the kernel module - asus-nb-wmi.
That key is limited to very few models. And its ACPI WMI event isn't currently handled, so no kernel message.
I just want to make sure it's video quality
WMI? That's windows. Of course it won't happen on Linux...
Yeah, that's the driver's name. asus-nb-wmi ASUS Notebook WMI
I had dumped the DSDT table to extract the Device IDs for it
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.15/driver-api/i2c.html
https://docs.kernel.org/i2c/index.html
You can do SMBus/i2c in userspace, I'd work from there
https://gitlab.com/asus-linux/reverse-engineering Not sure if you've seen this repo, might be handy
I have seen this already. Doesn't have anything for that Keystone key.
Tried i2c-tools, but it didn't work. Will check this resource
That module is a) deprecated and b) just does fnkeys
It depends how certain you are that it's i2c/smbus anyway, could be a whole number of other busses
There's a device exposed under /sys/class/devices with i2c. Lists as /dev/i2c-1 but gives remote IO error
Sorry, actually the key triggers Hotkey Events for keycode 0xb4 something like that
If it's just a keycode, I bet you can get that key event
Give me a TryHackMe easy room, I can do it in 30 minutes.
Give me boxes and wrapping paper and I am cooked
With that key event, I am using ACPI call to check the device status (dsts) with the device ID (dev_id).
For me 30 years
I am able to detect the physical key whether it's plugged in or not and when it is.
To do easy box
Just missing the I2C NFC stuff to make it usable (sorta Yubikey)
Keep at it, eventually you fly through them
Oops, we donβt allow links that havenβt been through QA here π
Has to be approved/ public
Oh, sorry. I didn't know that.
No itβs okay!
Won't do it again
No harm done at all dw
I would have to learn and go through a lot of stuff to make this work.
Anyway, thanks James : )
It's just that, there aren't a lot of people with that device to make it worth reversing for : P

Hello, I wanted to try a ctf, investing windows and it mentioned RDP which I assumed is the windows own remote desktop app. I have found an article explaining how to do it but it mentions opening a VM from "task 2". This has me thinking that the ctf have to be completed in some order or that I should not attempt it yet as it is not part of the course I am on, the complete beginner course. I have tried to research RDP and it gets quite technical. For now I just want to attempt the ctf, but the process on this article has left me scratching my head about the "Task 2" bit.
I am sorry, what does rep means?
ohh..okayy

hi guys
Studying every day on thm is influencing my perspective outside too.
Today I went to shop for groceries and there was a handheld scanner to read the products. Obviously I started to look at it and found that the menu is accessible and in it there's the voice "Debug infos". Here anyone can see the backend address.
Do you think this should be available to customers? I also think that this could be a vector for malicious activities.
What do you think?
its a side mission connected to THM
This explains why it's working with http
This article is basic and should help you, as I do not think you need much more to RDP to a target on THM:

Hey Simon, how are you?
Im alright Simon, how are you? actually a little stuck. I find trying to take it all in a trick. I am going back over some stuff and using chat gpt to shorten my notes or create stories to try help me learn things a bit better. Also, knowing where to start and not get overwhelmed or lost. I would like to try a ctf but feel I am not quite there yet. I would like to have a go at the "investigating windows" ctf but have to go back over the fundamentals. Other than that, same as always. What about you, what are you up to?

Too early for hints.
linkedin should be a good one. just started connecting with people, ask for help. find companies that offer what you are looking for and ask for help from them. they may be able to point you in the right direction. i wanted to start work in television, which is known for being hard to get into. i took the most practical approach i could. what tv show is regular? (the most popular show in the uk) i used internet movie database to find names of people on that show in the department i wanted. after gettign their names, i connected with them on linkedin, sending a note about being a trainee and looking for a position on that show. i sent off about 40 connections, one got back to me two days later. he was the head of the department and gave me a phone number of the agency that were hiring. I called them, two months later i started work there. i had to wait for a place to become available. it did not work out in the end, i got a year out of it, some experience/knowledge. but that is how it goes.
i see thank you :)

Like what?
Is C++ a powerful language for malware development?
Malware is discussed in our advanced channels.
What is it
Reach the 0xD level to access it
Read the link I linked
I am learning cybersecurity and want to develop my own malware, what is your advice?
Don't.
My advice?
Do not even touch malware, until you feel like you're at a stage where you can analyse it without detonating, or atleast setting up a perfectly sandboxed enviorment.
There is no reason to develop your own malware right now, you're not going to speed run this.
And more importantly, if you do end up releasing some malware and you're caught, the police will not take too kindly to "I'm only learning".
Guys, I need help. In my laptop broswer and other windows apps without pressing ctrl + F I'm getting the find page option how to fix this issue anyone?
Does it just happen in browsers?
No, almost everywhere the ctrl + F supports, like browser, word, wordpad, notepad, settings, file explorer, registery editor
Ok.
First step: Check you don't have stuck keys.
Second step: Go to settings, Ease of access? then keyboard, see if Sticky keys is enabled.
step 3: do you use macros, or any third party key mapping software?
t
It wasn't there till yesterday 3 pm, all of a sudden it started
Have you downloaded anything new since then?
- I don't have stuck keys, I can press them properly.
- Sticky keys disabled
- Nope
No nothing new
Reflashed the windows, still it didn't fix the issue
Do you have an FN key?
It's hell, I can't type a single word with this issue
Yes
Hi, I have a question, why most programmers store the data into memory? why they just use normal varaiable?
I started learning the basics from Python
So there's probably a lot of things I don't know.
Variable also takes up memory
Does it have a specific capacity? And can it be exceeded?
like buffer overflow?
For most of the built-in types in Python, I don't think so. Unless you have written it that way
i mean c++
like:
int main(){
int num = 10;
return 0;
}
can buffer overflow be in the varaiable num?
that's what i mean
Where else would it be?
Nope, how would you cause it in the first place?
When you give a variable a specific space, if you write more than the specified space, you will exceed the storage capacity.
It's not like you can num = VERY_LARGE_NUMBER, it won't work. The compiler might complain about it or simply cast the value for that type
Try disconnecting the HID in hardware manager and attaching a new keyboard, at least then you can identify hardware vs software issue
Zumi - did you know that off the top of your head, or did you look it up?
I see. Let me check
Buffer Overflow is for buffers.
char buffer[32];
// write past the allocated memory
buffer[100] = 'π';
// It would cause an error, IndexOutOfBounds
// And possibly a SIGSEGV, Segmentation Fault
Even the code which is run is stored in the memory
i just found out that you can edit recorded macros in vim/nvim as they are saved in registry =/
lol, I have memorized that numberπ
Ok, but why you give him a space?
What?
Why don't you create a variable without giving it space so that it doesn't happen bug?
using string
int main(){
string a = "hi";
}
yeah but we talking about buffer overflow
That's a different thing, under the hood it uses dynamic memory (heap) to resize the variable
oh ok
Thanks for answer me
2^31-1 is the max value, it's not infeasible.
It has to go into memory
Only place it can go
And yeah in C you have to allocate the space for it. Either ahead of time telling it what the size is, or using heap operations which is a whole other thing
Time to do boring ass FAA drone shit..
How could you not like your job?
Uncomplicated FireWall.
If youβre behind a firewall, open UDP port 43210 .. is this called port forwarding??
No, it's called Port Opening.
Port forwarding is pointing that open external point to an open internal port
forwarding the connection
If you have, say a CCTV system and you wanted to access it remotely through (say) the web interface. you'd need to log into the router and say 'Hey router, if any connections come in on port 80, Can you connect that to this particular port on the CCTV box'
Sometimes the ports for this are non-standard, or you'll have multiple things you wanna access, so thats where you forward the ports to the things you want.
Why are you forwarding the port?
Depends what goes over the port, how much traffic, how often, and your internet connection
Is C++ a powerful language for malware development?
Oh I also need to open a port on the cctv box too right?
can I stop the auto re-subscription in my account?
or it doesn't renew the subscription automatically every month
It's for a game server
I already told you the answer.
Yeah. although in real life, they'd likely already be open.
where is he
We have had this discussion.
You have been told that discussion is limited to the advanced channels.
Please respect that, otherwise you may be muted or warned.
i'm sory
I get now this game uses UDP connections so I open up a UDP port on my pc and make it public by port forwarding
Where is the canal?
Thanks guyss
You do not have access for now
With the CCTV example - normally it's port 80, 445 and 554. Some also have a 'server port' of 8000 which is for the manufacturers software. But if you have, say 2xCCTV boxes on one network, you'll need to change the ports as there will be a.. Dammit forgot the word.. clash?
Is there an explanation on YouTube?
No, you will have to read the text there @dense cedar
Esqy - Conflict?
thats the one!
oky thank
Gave +1 Rep to @naive violet (current: #2 - 2175)
Unless that was a request b0rk. If thats the case, i'll have to decline - Zojja is my current archenemy
What?
I was joking - Thought you were asking for a conflict :p
lol, I don't want that here or anywhere
honestly, I only know the CCTV one, as it's one of the only time I actually use port-forwarding in the wild
There's Steam stuff as well
Well, If I'm having to configure ports for Steam, there will be a different conversation with the store manager π
Yall ever tried corn nuts
Pog. I can fly a drone now 
Don't need to register my drone. Let's gooooooo under 250 grams! 
dont BSOD smth around

you seem to be pretty good at configuring and styling the system
nice rice man
I once wrote a little dashboard.nvim config to switch between a preset of themes (ASCII arts) that NVIM displays on start
Why are there 2 (100%) in the polybar?

Gave +1 Rep to @tranquil osprey (current: #36 - 217)
oh, makes sense
hello uhh greetings
Not disagreeing with James but also keep in mind that port forwarding can also be across network interfaces - the physical plug on the switch or router is also called a port.
i am new to the server and m looking for some advice so anyone who is available pls ping i will dm you
thank you
don't forget virtual host routing or reverse proxy routing
Why not just ask here? π
just ask your question
oh yeah, everything has an 'advanced' mode
You have a higher chance of someone knowing the answer to your question
Not sure how it is in the US, but here even if its under 250G, if it has a camera then you have to register with the CAA (our FAA) for an Operator ID
my bad i though general was not for personal advices
okay so i used to code web development before covid and for some reason i could not continue with that and now i can
so during some searching i decided to atlest know if i can try ethical hacking
now on that i want to take advices is it possible to hop in directly or should i learn one thing before it and stuff
i can also use some guidance for affiliation certificates
Eyy! i started during covid lockdown aswell!
wow that is so great to hear
Yup of course
TryHackMe is designed for people like you
And it's fun
No skill required, just sign up and get straight to hacking, #start-here
For US, as long as the drone is under 0.55lbs/ 250 grams. You do not need to register it. Even if it has a camera.
You do need to pass a certification, TRUST, to be exact, for recreational use.
Also need to utilize the B4UFLY app to check airspace restrictions
Also, max height for recreational is 400 ft
interesting
similar on airspace, but no certifications needed to be done
and max height is 120M
Didn't someone in the UK get arrested for droning into an airport a while back in UK?
range is a bit limited because by default its FCC allowed in US, while in europe and here its CE π
(radio power limited)
hey its really great thanks
Gave +1 Rep to @mossy river (current: #6 - 1312)
if they were over or even near an airport, then yeah that would make sense
Believe it was new in either 21 or 22. TRUST stands for: The Recreational UAS Safety Test
Btw
I think it was around the time drones started becoming popular with the masses, so it was newsworthy back then
Battery is taking awhile to charge.... reeeee. I just wanna learn how to fly it lol
What odds will I get if I were to bet that you lose control and bonk yourself on the head?
You can always 3dprint your own drone chassis
Oh, I'll give you 2 to 1 odds
haha
With carbon fiber filament. BRILLIANT!
+rep
Gave +1 Rep to @tepid furnace (current: #761 - 5)
any excuse for expensive filaments, ay π
Be careful with carbonfiber tho
Hell yah! I actually have 2 carbon fiber filaments lol
Under a microscope the fibers get embedded in your hand :p
And the fibers in the air from the heating lf the plastic
Your lungs loveeee carbon fiber
Does it help if I tell you, I'm right next to my 3d printer? 
Although the hand embedded is less of a concern due to shedding and exfoliaton
Is your room well vented?
shedding? is Beerise a snake? π
Im asking cause it's a serious thing
If your room isnt well vented you're actively killing yourself
no joke
Unless you hgave an enclosed K1 π
Doesnt matter unless that enclosure has an output exhaust
It's an open room. No doors. So there's tons of space. Also it's air conditioned
With a filter on it. All good on my side
The ac isnt gonna do anything to help it tbh
The filter also matters
Carbon activated filters are what matters when it comes to voc's
Honestly, I aint gonna be doing any carbon fibre stuff yet
And for the microplastics a high grade hepa filter is your best bet
This isnt just for carbon fiber
It's for all 3d printing
I've always wanted to make my own drone for storm & weather photography but i'm too poor π¦
It's a serious health concern everyone overlooks :p
Esqy, I need to build boxes
This was an ok paper on the topic
for your boards?
For various projects yeah
Building 3 PSUs also
Fr though look into it
Well, as always, the offer is there if you send over the files, although i remember you don't like 3D printer lines
Needs to be heat conductive
oh sweet, Back into your metalworking I guess
Conductive, or can withstand heat?
Might see if I can cad something, get my boss to CNC a top and bottom plate
I need to dump a bunch of heat put of parts. Heat conductive, or room for a big heatsink
Can't even think of any filament that is heat conductive.... maybe the metal PLA, but too much heat and you got melted plastic
Would be lovely to build something in this style, with heat sink cutouts on the side for black anodised heatsinks
Yeah 3d printing isn't the solution to everything
Sheet metal and a brake press would go a long way
Hehe really leaning into the retro look π I like it
Of course it is!
Need access to a router sadly
hour 2 of waiting for this 2000 MAH battery to charge
I can potentially get stuff CNC'd
Oop.... 15 minutes of flight time, on a drone that will be inspecting roofing. I need more batteries, or atleast a stronger one 
And a better operator

Single layer boards are doable at home, but 2 layer or more is too much of a challenge
It's cheap enough to just get them made at this point
I remember doing boards in school. Had to draw them onto copper plated boards, then dunk them in acid overnight
Oh the heady days of more relaxed access to dangerous chemicals at school π
Oth the other hand we had to drill all the wholes with one of those manual hand-drills.
Hey I did that too
At the time, we used BBC Micros to design the boards π
we only had boards in school... the old times... π

hi, is someone knowledgeable with data breaches?
What about them?
i got two emails that i know have been leaked through haveibeenpwnd, i have been getting tons of junk emails over the years with those standard scam attempts like "i know your password"
Yeah just ignore them
where they write you your old leaked password
i usually ignore them but i got one strange one today where it showed me the leaked password of my first email but sent the scam attempt to my second email
both emails have no connection to each other whatsoever
alright, thanks
did you guys had to do practical exercises when you had a job interview for a security job like pen testing?
guys USDoD already got caught by feds !
and itβs not even been a week since the ssn leak!
crazyyyyyyβ¦..what do you guys think?
what do you think my driller
You're welcome 
The US Department of Defence are feds. IDK what you mean
I had to! My v2 died. Needed a replacement fast
Where did you see this
USDoD is a hacker group
Itβs play on words with the us department of defense

you know the guy from Jurrasic park? /s
of course.
its everywher his pic is leak

I canβt find Hammonds video
Huntress yea
Good for him π

how much THM did we do today guys
Ahh, please don't ping high profile users π
me too bro im gonna get on the grind soon
fair... hope one will not cause fall of great empire π
its like ever since i payed for subscription i dont wanna waste my days
good luck with that my driller. keep up the grind
its some gang shi
meant to tag you
guys also question
should i keep my battery around a certain % to maintain good battery life
like not drop below a certain % and not exceed a certain %
There was something about that years ago, but there were conflicting views. one should run it down each time or the battery gets a 'memory', one shouldnt completely deplete it.. I dunno though, I'm not a batteryist
ok bro that left me more confused than i initially was
Haha. All batteries will have a shelf-life. For phones and stuff, it's usually enough to last for as long as you are using it
Charging it fast or charging it beyond 80% will degrade it
But then you can't use 20% of your battery, so lose lose
New android charging is good.
Isn't what james said just kinda.. inherent with batteries?
cos of chemicals and science
Yeah, they offset it in software to some extent
And smart BMS

just got hit in a storm
hit as ?
Guys, are there any good rooms that explain how to get a reverse shell?
there is search bar. there is few rooms
standing in a parking lot, then the storm rolled in
oh... when you say hit was think with car or smth
oh, no the storm hit me, and then I had to drive home
I was thinking exactly that π
that sounds better yea
pavel durov just arrested in paris
Did they give a reason as to why the Telegram founder was arrested?
"Authorities claim that Telegram's lack of moderation, collaboration with law enforcement, and the instruments it provides (disposable numbers, and cryptocurrency) make it an accomplice in drug trafficking, paedophilia, and fraud.
But the search warrant would only be valid if Durov was on national territory."
he landed in extradite territory
yup, france
such a bs move, they couldn't catch what they wanted so they go after the owner of the software
everyone is just gonna migrate to signal
I mean telegram is not my favorite software. I'm sure sketchy stuff happens on both platforms.
sketchy stuff happens everywhere, but they should go after the ones who are doing the stuff
typical persecute attorney, we couldn't get the guy we want, let's go after this one so people don't think we can't do our job π
They can't find the evidence if there is no cooperation. It will infringe on free speech, but it may also stop some of the sketchy things that go along with it.
Telegram probably said, show me some prove, I'm not going to violate the privacy of users for a fishing expedition
It's a catch-22, but only time will tell if anything will come from his arrest. If telegram doesn't hold on to any of people's information like signal. I'm not sure how telegram operate.
It's hard to say especially since they operate in Russia.

How many processor cores and ram do you have in total? You could be starving your host computer.
if it's a virtual machine you have to find a balance between your physical computer and the virtual one. If you give too much to the virtual, the physical that is the one doing the heavy lifting, is left with not enough power to perform all the task that suppose to

You may have more luck with this question if you ask in a more sysadmin focused discord. That being said, be careful with using free services especially with your communications. If you're not paying, you're the product.
What do you mean by "host"
Send or receive mails?
You're going to have a hard time trying to self-host sending mails

Cybersecurity is massive and there are tons of different topics, it's difficult to be a master of every one of them
What is the biggest difference between blue teams and red teams, other than their roles?
I keep seeing them being talked about on the rooms but I never really got a clear understanding.
Blue is defence, Red is offense
Ah I see, is one more useful than the other?
Not necessarily, no.
You should aspire to be a purple teamer because skills from both sides will help you be better in whichever side you pick.
Oh cool, I'm taking a cyber security class and we're not really into anything yet.
I just tried the site today for myself.
Awesome to hear! Have you checked out any paths yet?
Not yet
I would recommend trying the pre-security path as there are some rooms on the difference between defense and offense, they should hopefully clear up any questions you have
