ive never seen that shortening before
kindom of united peeps
It's the same thing
No way!
Ik it's a bad practice but like all teens use uk
pretty sure "yk" is standard
I think only adults use it
You mean people that grew up from using it in their teens
Soo many ppl ik use uk
Nah adults spend the extra effort to type "do you know"
Yea, at that time
That's true too
Lol r u an adult?
Lolz
Very True
Bcz u typed it out
Yes, apparently
hello
Hello
Oh it is super apparent now
how’s your day
It kinda depends, a lot of adults use shorteners for nonformal conversations
Great , How about you ?
good thanks
Hey
Because I know how to use a comma? Eh, everyone should learn proper punctuation
hey dark
nobody knows the goose
"Of course I'm a gyatt-daym ohio rizzler" -A Real™️ Adult™️
I use a ton of comas usually, lol
POV me : Hides instantly
Whassup?
Stay away from comas, they're bad for you
nm thanks
Gave +1 Rep to @modern patrol (current: #1459 - 2)
Ohh sad
Omg not expected
okay, thanks
I don't have brain rot yet, I never will I hope
I should focus on punctuation, Currently i'm focusing on spellings and Overall usage of Better words
If I do! Then it's awsome
Small words also good
I'm not sure I understand the brainrot.
I'm treating it like learned programming, I'm just putting it together in a sequence like a weird program.
With some creative liberties, of course~
who cares about that in discord
Atleast I'm more of a kid
Indeed, it is a matter of routine for me to employ a more refined and sophisticated lexicon, coupled with an adherence to meticulous writing conventions on a daily basis.
Ohhh lol, good
You know , How you speak and act matters in real life . Just like that usage of words and better formation of a sentence matters online
It's appreciated
Don't do that
An adult with brain rot 💀
So you like to sound smart at every occasion?
Why didn't you just say so?~
i hate it
Lol
Damn it sound like some people r writing formal letters lol
I need to open english to english translation for this stuff
Lmao
Let me try
being formal in discord is boring
i used to type formally with comas and stuff like that, it’s not worth it
Good sirs I would beseech you to open your hearts to this occasion and embrace yourself
How should one act then my Good sir
be yourself
"I wish to inform all relevant personnel that there will be an event in which a large-scale compromise of the integrity of computer systems will occur" -A threat (by a Lawyer)
ooh i will be banned in a few seconds cuz i would be using some serious slurs just because they are funny
Trust me i can't

Miss Seras, it's my duty to inform you of your sounding like a military personnel
That sounded like a School application my G
humor is a matter of subjectivity
Lmao
if you’re comfortable typing formally, then please feel free to do so
it’s up to you
** it's my duty** to inform you : D
I beg your pardon sir but I couldn't get my mind to understand what G symbolizes in that sentence
make sure you don't lose it
Fun fact, gen z have been hitting adulthood for a while and are brainrotted
I want to be better then i was yesterday at pretty much everything . So how i present myself online is through my profile , My choice of topics and words .
I have to improve in those subjects
I greatly admire your motivation mr Makarov and I hope you may receive success in your endeavor
the shorteners gonna kill the english language dudes
No no no. You're thinking of an entirely different kind of language.
Ahem~
Black Hat recorded planting Bait. Reel 'em in.
My good sir it's a word from 20'th Century used be peasants and illiterates to initiate a connection with the Awakens .
Immaturity seems to be a great factor
Lmao I got it now
It isn't a good practice to discriminate any more in the 21st century good sir
good luck
Thankyou 🙂
Talking politely is a pain fr
Watch this : https://youtu.be/fq0VpPVrMZA?si=y2jU157UxTFSQ3UN ** My good man**

i don’t feel like i’m in THM server anymore, i feel like i’m chilling with zeus and poseidon
Haha
don't say good sir back after you were called one, makes the compliment seem worthless
Eh, by counterexample I know people with brainrot who are mature and hold a real professional job - sadly the constant fight for your attention span has great human cost
Oh moon, I greatly apologize for cause a disappointment, it would be in all our wishes that you shine as bright as the moon
Depends on your vocabulary . When you can't express through words you use slurs and gifs . They make up a interesting conversation for sure
ok poseidon calm down
Lol why poseidon
when your switch doesn't support IPv6 EIGRP, but the next couple of tasks is exactly that
Tbh all the gods indulged in a lot of sexual stuff so I'd not take either
Greek mythology is dark fr
A GOD with human temptations is not a GOD
Lol
Yea go tell the Greeks not me
I mean,
I do like the stoic mindset
I would request you to communicate your uneasiness with the Greeks and not thee
Thy has a strong heart but a weak body
I would beseech you to try and learn from thee
Considering that most of them waren't out for fame by selling there wisdom . Authors such as Marcus Aurelius's quotes are from his personal diary
I admire that
Gives power to the words in a sense
thee means "them" basically. "Me" was said the same
Thy thinks thou is making cringe statements
??
what a conversation x)
it's both hot and cold in this datacenter
Thy shall convey that thy is in a mood of jest
Thy means "yours"

Let's keep this appropriate for an educational environment, please
good morning, how was driving class!?
GM dolphin
good morning!
Did you bring your little folding stool?
I either traveled the multiverse where I already lived through seeing first occurrence of this message and this message was never said before in this one or there was a bug and this message was sent again
How?
What r u even gonna do now?
yeah I had a moment of confusion there too
Hot due to stress and cold due to temprature probably
Okay so my driving instructor came picking me up at home, he has a Golf R, it's a nice car.
So we drove to some industrial estate and practised a bit, then I had to drive home myself :)
Ohh
Of course he has a clutch brake gas etc too so he helps a bit
Then @chilly veldt needs sleep, lol
very nice, did you like it? I remember my first car drive being super fun
Yeah it was for real fun
No sleep for ones who are travelers of this path

Which path?
nah @chilly veldt is fine
I once worked through the night and ended up sleeping on the data center floor
But I was driving too fast a lot ||In dutch: ik reed snel te snel||
She's lit feeling hot and cold lol
That ain't fine
Thats paradoxical
nah that's just normal datacenter weather
keeping the right pace is just another skill to learn, dont worry about it
Did you sleep good ?
normal mdf weather
Dutch is not a real language
Oooo
Discord and phone service dead spots go together like... Pick your favorite example of two things that don't go together
Yeah it will come
about 11:00 pm to 5:00 am
Peanut and butter
Hey they go well
Pa Dutch > "Dutch"
Lol how many hours do ull usually sleep?
we have a dedicated stool 😄
PA Dutch is German
sit in a tshirt
I'm aware
you sure??
Input hours for this command--
Isn't it cold there
I haven't had my daily energy drink
I told u it ain't fine lol
energy drinks are bad for you
True
they also taste like toxic sludge
Lol
Which energy drink tho?
What stuff do ull have there?
I am getting blasted with the heat from 20+ network hardware
and then blasted from the aircon
8^10
🔥
Lol
That sounds horrible
Fr
the last decade, only energy drinks i've had have been red bull specifically with jager
Wait rnt u in school yet?
I am
How do u have a job alr?
i've had like 3 exceptions and that's just cause it was gym time and i had no other option
Err* Max limit set to s"240"--
this is in school
The most annoying thing is that there's often no cell signal inside the data center
Ur in that place in school?
Ohhhhh
But it's just today right? Usually it ain't that bad right?
Irl? Damn!
But you have access to the internet
no, you gonna ask administrator for wifi password
Good. We cant handle being mistaken for German
I have wifi in the datacenter
We not gonna talk about Cable management ?
😂
it's the other classmates
Ohh
It's a school, so I guess not
ooh
So does ur school mainly teach tech stuff and all?
it's actually the students working area
honestly, for a school, that's clean af
it's the only educations there are here
What! Wtf
What abt physics and math?
on this part of school
That's better than 90% of the racks I've seen in my career
And other shit?
Ohh just that part..... Lol
you can actually still stand inside the door, like upright
There was a channel on youtube about data centers i learned alot from it . Pretty interesting stuff
and reach inside and do things without pushing everything aside
I haven't had math and physics for over a year
So do u learn cyber sec too in school?
Wtf bro where on earth r u from?
Yeah
How is that even possible
who's the friend
Europe
Like the teachers teach u hacking?
Random dude
Yeah
Where there ain't math
who's the other friend
Welcome to production
In fact, Bella learns them hacking
U mean teaches?
that looks unused
Yes
Bella teaches them hacking?
too clean
Damn op bella
Completely right
Ik the feeling of outsmarting teachers
All i ever learned from school was useless theories and pointless definitions of Stuff i can't care less about .
It's just too good
Damn that's sad fr
R school teaches us a lot of advanced shit
That's why i never went to collage . Life is short
This is highschool
I mean learning complex topics can be fun but only if you know they will be usefull in the future
Have u finished grade 10?
What's the age of the people who go there?
Knowing that something is pointless and forced to learn it is just pure torture
Yea that's true af
So learn something which isn't pointless
I find the best way to compare education stages between countries is with age ranges
Lol
Exactly
Yep
Thats why
True af
15-40+, there's a specific 25+ education line here
Just don't compare Asian countries
Ahhh
I learn and spend more time studying willingly then i ever did in all those years back in school @modern patrol
Huh?
Lol
I never studied school shit
I only lsned to the teachers
Don't ask me how tf I get top grades
I started when I was 17
There's your answer
I only nerd study shit that people find impossible to study
I could've started at 16
Umm yea I'm in class anyway so I might as well lsn
I usually use to play games or read random books all night and sleep at school if being honest
just remembered, there's some who's 15 here 😄
it's a year after primary school
Did everyone start off at that age? Oh wait that's how it is there? Ohhh
So what r u planning to do with ur life?
Like do something in cyber sec and earn money and all?
Incident Responder
Goodluck
Ohhh
Wow that's cool
So most people here don't just do this as a random hobby for no reason......
I currently work part time SOC engineering/analyst and incident responder
In high school, I often stayed late at night in the classroom playing on the computer, even hiding in the teachers' office to avoid the security guards
Ohhhh wow that's cool fr no jokes
aka a consultant
Wait so incident responder is at the clients location right?
Is there DevOps stuff too, like Grafana, Prometheus for alerts, metrics?
no, remotely
I get things sent to me from colleagues
Mmm and some collegues go to the client I guess?
And then they pay u?
Ahh yeah
I don't do DevOps right now
Nope its for free
But do u like have to report irl anywhere?
Or like it's totally remotely
My teachers were dumb . Usually failed in there lifes and were miserable had no passion . It was like living with a bunch of dead people who can just listen and speak
my apprenticeship is on-site, my part time job is fully remote
Ohhhh
I mean I hack stuff all week for money
I also do stuff for hobbies, but not so much cyber anymore
Ok, but there should be some DevOps related stuff for detecting incidents. like abnormal CPU spikes
So do u have to give no details abt urself or something?
we have machine learning for that
Or like u have to reveal all ur personal data
Lol what
Ohhhh
So don't u have a job or something?
I do have a job
So u do this stuff along with ur job?
Oh, that's cool. Is it accurate for short burst attacks?
Hence hacking stuff all week
U use data models and stuff?
R u good at machine learning?
can't answer
Is it actually lucrative or it's a hobby?
not me who set it up, I only do engineering of rules and the know how of what it should look for
Ohhh
Is cyber sec ur passion and all?
Like it's what u love right?
it's like AI-ops, there's third-party product for it
Do u study a lot btw? @chilly veldt
My job is hacking stuff all week, well also writing reports about it. I'm a penetration tester
yeah, one of the things
Ohhhhh
all the time 24/7
So u like other tech shit too?
My hobbies don't make money, although in theory I could start
Oh ur a nerd too? Lol
But that tends to suck the fun out of stuff when you have money dependent on it
who said it was supposed to be tech?
I mean, you learn things all the time
What differenciates 2 hackers who have studied the same amount of time?
Ohh so u like other stuff too? Like sports and all?
True
Insight (Not sure if thats the correct translation to english)
Ohh
My motorcycle and cars
It's such a wide field that two people could study for a couple years and have completely different skillsets
Cars r cool fr
You can specialise into so many different things after the basics
Ever planes
So like u work on em? Or u just like riding on em?
Lets say they studied the same subject for the same amount of hours, then it differentiates on how fast they understand something, right?
Ohh
@modern patrol I swear I would send you in a cable-underground management position, if I'm your team-leader
just kidding
is nitro worth it
No
Just no
Unless you stream a lot or something
nice
working on them
Lol I have hardly any idea what that means
But yea I won't be into that stuff a lot
I'll probably become an engineer or a software dev or something idk
Ooo
I am new this website
Yes
Cool
welcome
Study hard!
Welcome 
Very
i’m tired
Damn ur determined
How to hack face Bank
Lol why?
don’t know
💀
Please help
Did u get enough sleep?
lyes
I am learning
That's a room
Ur working too hard then
Ohhh I thought something else lol
xD
Lol fr?
yes
i’m rn
Yes
don’t feel bad
I can help you in #room-help
oh yea
Ask your question there
I kinda feel guilty that stuff works out for me in life without me working
So I'm kinda hurting people who r working hard
@rapid merlin yes
work if you want
Okay, ask your question there
Hello comrades, I was retired from thm should I go back for fun
I am new in this website
R u a student too?
🤝 Ight bet, thank you for the choice have a nice day or night depending on your time-zone comrade.
Gave +1 Rep to @tall field (current: #1459 - 2)
wait moon r u new too or is this just ur alt or something?
u too
no i joined may
but i didn’t talk much
nice welcome
so r u like experienced at cyber sec?
ty 😊
Gave +1 Rep to @tall field (current: #1103 - 3)
wouldn’t say experienced but i’m eager and dedicated to learn more
oh! thats awesome! me too!
do u just like cyber sec as a hobby too or like u want it as ur job?
hobby
Just a advice, never get too exhausted on ctf I completed like 13 rooms a day in my prime
I was pulling all nighter
Just focus on what you want to learn.
i like to learn new things from time to time, so i decided to get into cybersecurity to challenge myself and expand my skills
Sleep helps reinforce and save what you learn
yes
I have a ton of hobbies, a lot in tech, so i thought itd be cool if i leant cyber sec tooo
which language?
you should
Brain's way of sync :p
python and C?
niceee
same
i havent done java yet
it’s boring
do u like work with hardware and all too?
Hey guys - I'm working on what might be my FIRST ever bug bounty discovery and I could use some input/ideas:
I found a page builder in WordPress is re-using nonce values for it's stock-forms. I was able to verify that if you have the cookie associated with password-protected page you can bypass the authorization altogether (replay attack). For a bug bounty, is that enough? Everything I've read on bounty programs is to look for ways to escalate. Based on the behaviors I'm seeing, it looks like the form isn't doing any kind of parameter checking on the server as I'm able to send any number (including zero) of the 'real' form parameters and I'm able to jump straight to the page (albeit with the 'invalid submission' error). The only way this bug 'feels' dangerous is if 1) There co-exists some sensitive info on the password protected page, and 2) Stealing this type of cookie (which, per the WordPress docs has an expiry of 10 days) is relatively easy (which, I don't think is the case). So...as is, I'm thinking this is a low-severity, low impact vulnerability hence looking for ways to escalate, but as I'm ridiculously new at bug bounty I could be VERY wrong here. Thanks for any help/pointers etc.
p.s. I fully expect responses like "Google X topic" or "go understand Y concept".
yes
fr? 😭
If we're talking scientifically, accurate but I'm just saying don't go too hard on yourself yk when you start it's cool and shit but it gets boring after completing 100 rooms since you realize there is no end on pushing yourself.
If you have the cookie, you're authenticated.
java is boring, but it’s essential for building a strong foundation in programming
Yeah 100% agreed. Sleep is super important
i thought so, everyone says its important
and it opens doors to more advanced languages and projects
fr? even more than python?
The pi pico is so much fun, using these a lot for projects now
Honestly prefer it massively to arduino or esp
ikrrr
honestly, whenever i used to have free time, i would play games, but now i sleep because sleep is important
whattttt nooooo esp32 is on another level
i play games or watch anime when im totally free
no
thought so
Pico has more horsepower and is standard ARM
python is simple i believe
So...not a bug? I mean, I was able to take the cookie from one session (windows/chrome) and drop it into a cURL request on (wsl2/ubuntu) and it worked. Seems like it shouldn't right? I mean, my gut says it's bad to re-use nonces --- is that correct?
Especially with the Pico 2, higher clocks and better ADC and hardware floating point
it is, but it has a lot of potential
nah esp32 has more resources
and esp32 has wifi and bluetooth built in
They're being used as CSRF tokens right?
Either way, the cookie is how you prove you're authenticated
Like reading material?
and its cirtuit is super adaptable and shit
so doss the pico w
no not only that
does it have bluetooth?
Yes
So, if I maybe I were able to use a tool to fuzz the token I could escalate to CSRF, but otherwise probably not worth reporting?
it can perform deauth and handshakes and shit
About the same as an esp32, woth way more CPU
Eh it's overrated. People just build deauthers
it has monitor mode for wifi
Great, so does my $2 usb wifi adapter
do u actually think u can take ur laptop everywhere
u can lit hide an esp32 with a battery and itll do it thing
Deauthing is for script kiddies who haven't matured enough to realise DoS attacks aren't funny
im not talking abt deauth lol
dauth helps in handshakes uk
You should see what I carry
I have an ESP32 here with me day to day
thats the first step
And is super easily detected, and is unnecessary
lol so u do use it then
Yeah but not for script kiddy stuff
u can use it for a ton of iot projects
wait ur saying pico has more power?
Depends which ESP32, but the standard architectures and now the FPU
That mattered in the 90s
The ESP32 has more memory than the Pico W.
Both boards have Wi-Fi, but only the ESP32 has Bluetooth
And you can't compare across architectures like that
Nah mate, that's wrong
https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/new-functionality-bluetooth-for-pico-w/
like i get ur veiwpoint
nah i just checked on the web
both of them
Which ESP32? WROOM?
but for complex applications like drones pico aint enough
Lol
I don't need to, I know enough about microcontrollers to know it's not worth arguing with you
im not talking abt just buying a flight controller
lol its not arguing, its just info sharing
You won't even say which model of ESP32 you're talking about. So many different cores
ohh, devkit
wroom is good too
Whivh SKU is that for the actual chip?
Cos the pico has better perf
Like seriously, clock speed isn't the same big deal you have been taught
idk why i cant post pics
but esp32 has 240 clock
Architecture makes a huge difference, can't compare clock for clock when it does more per clock
133 right?
ur talking abt pico 2?
Nah
it says pico 2
Where?
in the article
The pico 2 is ludicrously faster
ur taking info from 2 diff sources uk
The one is still very fast due to architecture
Again, which?
or try asking gemini
devkit, or wroom is also similar
No that's literally the point of benchmarks. It's a standard
Which core? C3?
i think s2
Don't trust AI slop goddamn
wait a sec
The ESP32 C3 is equipped with 400KB SRAM for its RAM flash memory, surpassing the Raspberry Pi Pico, which has 264 KB. Notably, these microcontrollers diverge in their clock frequencies—the ESP32 C3 operates at a clock speed of 160 MHz, while the Raspberry Pi Pico runs at a slightly lower clock frequency of 133 MHz.
Keep fanboying. Try new platforms
this is what a website saying
i used to work with pico tho.....
it depends on the use really
I feel like I have to say this again
You cannot just compare clock speed across architectures. This isn't the 90s. Your teachers oversimplified.
like both have advantages
umm i didnt have teachers, and im tlaking abt memory
If you get twice as much done in a clock, it does way better for close clock speeds
Lol
im talking abt memory tho
r u seeing c3?
ohh lsn, ur seeing c3
Ram clocks are also more complicated
s2 has more power
ESP32-S2 has a higher clock speed than the ESP32-C3, the comparison also says it
This is actually a pointless debate for me, please stop being like 4chan category
@hasty palm hyy]
\o
let me grab a popcorn before you start the debate

Kindof a hard subject to learn on an app, to be honest.
G'morning potato
Goodmorning both ;)
Ticking by. Gonna have to force myself out of the house to go to work. Once I'm outside, It's all good. Just that distance to the front door...
Gotta get up and take a shower, it's too damn cold ...
Hi esqy 👋
Sounds exhaustive
Hiya Dedito and Vain 🙂
:)
Hiii
mind if I DM acme?
I'll get there, Potato.
try breaking your goal into smaller milestones and setting aside dedicated study time each day to stay focused and motivated
if you literally study each day, even 15min a day, by the end of the year you will be pretty proficient in the field you did study. 15 min a day is not too much huh? and consider the fact that on some days you may catch a flow and stick with studying for an hour, or two, or 3.
cycling in heavy rain is amazing
You good?
Real
I hate it
Esp when streets r empty
lol no
That's just too good
roads are pack jammed
Why lol
Damn, I like it when the streets r empty
Because I do that way too much. Too school etc
clothes wet all day
ew
Lmao
meh can't always carry that
yea
like tf
ur cycling not doing fashion on wheels
Wait u cycle to school?
Yes
Damn
15km
thats not clled a cycle
Ohhh
cycle is a cycle
if you dont cycle to school, are you even Dutch?
ebike is almost cheating
shut up I did 3 years without electric
Real
15 km?
Yeah and 8 years long 1km
That's quite a lot tbh
That's why I didn't mention it
;)
4km is hell a difference with 15 tbh
What's the weirdest thing ull have done?
i was talking about vehicle
Yeah?
Like ever
What's the dumbest stupidest craziest shit
none
Uve never done anything dumb?
nope
Not sure what to think about
idk what lies in that category
And if I knew, not sure if I wanted to tell
i can say my life
Bro got an overload
For real
That really risked ur life
u need to define
Does hiking on a mountain count as risking ur life?
One step to the side and ur dead
Brb, on a call
Probably
But something with friends
Well, I once did ||I can't tell that|| and it was fun :p
Feed it to the cat and get a new one?
i don't have a cat
would have fed it to the cat already
anyways
i have to use dang numeric keyboard keys as a mouse cuz i hate using tab
Bro wtf did u do?
Now I'm curious
Do u mean that.....
Or like something worse
Nothing, whatever happens in a boys party stays there😆
Wat?
Okay dude 🫡
i believe that is what you did
Yeah, you got it
Imagine if someone snitches to ur future wife or something
🤷♂️
Well, if you have got a tablet then you could use it as a mouse temporarily
A big trackpad
nothing
I'll say it before a mod does, other characters than English are not allowed 😅
Thanks buddy
Gave +1 Rep to @icy epoch (current: #72 - 97)
No worries :)
hi everyone can anyone help me with this room, i tried nothing and i'm all out of ideas. also can you help me hack back into my iphone account which is definitely mine that i own
😎
i hope it is obvious that this is satire
Please respect rule 9
Yup it is dw
what do people do to practice linux commands? I have looked at games like terminus, bashcrawl and another that is a murder mystery.
My bad, rule 9 you know
Use Linux
I think that it would be good to pool resources
overthewire
One of the rooms I did the other day required linux but also included java which I have not done. I thought that annoying as I had not covered it in any previous room, there was no mention of using other languages.
Can I dm you a question about this btw?
If that's no problem 😄
i use linux on every machine i own lol
that's a good way to force yourself to learn linux!
Yeah that works
With the troubleshooting sometimes
sometimes
yeah, and learning the differences between distros is pretty important too
Which distros do you use? 👀
i'm getting really into NixOS atm
but...like.. loads (including flavors like kali for debian for example):
-
debian
-
ubuntu
-
arch
-
fedora
-
NixOS
-
Qubes
-
Bunsenlabs
-
Puppy
-
Manjaro
-
GalliumOS
-
Pop OS (garbage don't bother)
-
Drauger
-
Whonix
-
Tails
-
Kali
-
Parrot
-
probably some others in my experimentationies
i have a few different configs, one for my personal machine, one for VMs, one for VPC deployment
Do you think Pop OS is that bad?
It's just very very bloated and you're better off just configuring any other mainline distro to do the same things
Pop OS is maybe a good introductory OS
if you've never used Linux before it makes it pretty painless I guess
Mmm never used it
but you won't learn much about linux if you don't experience the pain of "wtf does "sudo dnf" mean
Sticked with Parrot and Debian (and Fedora which I didn't really like). Never felt the need to try other distro's
it's fun to experiment
i highly recommend checking out Qubes especially if you're a security researcher
it's not strictly a linux distro as it's a microkernel, but it's basically linux
yw!
But i gotta say. NixOS is awesome. It feels so stable and robust. And if you break anything, rolling back to a previous config is super painless
and it's also very hard to break anything
and if you don't have a particular package installed, you don't need to install it to run it. you can pop it open in an ephemeral shell directly from the repository
and dispose of it by closing the shell
very useful!
oh thats cool indeed
having a single config file that you keep in a git repo that you can then pull and deploy on any machine or VM or whatever to immediately have all the tools you like to use without having to run any scripts or anything is also really helpful
I hate Corsas
like i have a really slimline config for VMs that I keep for templating that has all my default configs for stuff like VPN and such in it so i don't have to set up from fresh every time
and also don't have to keep a template VM
i dunno. I wanna try using it to deploy some stuff across a few VPSes and see i it works as I want it to
That's really cool. One of my trainers uses NixOS, there was an issue with glibc version and he did something with nix shell and it worked out lol
Quite interesting, NixOS
yeah there's a lot of cool things about it. I need to do some playing around with containers and environments in it which I think is where it really shines outside of the config part
Hello guys i want to join a CTF team if there is any available team am interested.
Sure
is it better to install kali as dual boot or use it as live usb
why's that though?
safety, number one.
In case any misconfigurations, if you're new user. So you don't compromise your main system.
Wat?
it's literally just an operating system lol
Kali is designed to be a penetration testing OS, it's not designed to be daily driven as a normal OS, due to the stability of the OS.
In short, Kali can break easy (and will) which would mean you'd lose everything.
what's not recommended is doing security activity from your main machine on bare metal and your home network.
Not one that has been designed to be daily driven though.
yeah
oh yeah, i am not using it for daily activities
i just wanna practice using nmap and those tools
i'm quite new to cybersecurity actually
You could happily do this on a vm.
there's nothing to gain by installing it as a dual boot
at all
unless you maybe want to use the tools to test against hardware and probe your own partitions but you really wouldn't need Kali for that anyway
I must add, even if you're a semi-experienced or experienced user, you don't want to risk compromising your main system, then go VM. As scrubz said, it may break easily here and there. This has happened to me, I simply roll back, snapshot, and roll back to it.
yeah but is there any issues from it?
because i already have a bootable usb prepared that's lying around
so for practice, should i do vm, or just use the usb for now?
i more or less exclusively use kali from a live boot usb. Rarely ever feel the need for persistent storage with the exception of handling drivers for peripherals where necessary
It’s a pentesting OS
It’s supposed to be setup when you need it
Not a daily driver
If you host can support VM's, I'd use that.
alright
i'll use a vm then
Not really, you can do this on any Linux distro
VMs definitely best for beginner
which vm is best?
depends what platform you're on. There are several options
i'm on endeavor os
Hypervisor.
VM's are the machines that are running
probably virt-manager
so the software is hypervisor?
and kali linux is the vm?
Yeah 😄
thanks, didn't know that
Oh god Oasis did get back together.
oh no
I woder how long until Noel and Liam start fighting.
Probably coming back for a special, but unsure.
this reminds me of two days ago when I deleted my gnome xD.
(I had installed fuse library, and Idk why, but it deleted my gnome, I just witnessed the process and I knew I f-ed up when I saw gnome being deleted).
imagine I posted a photo of a garden with a gnome in it and then another picture with the gnome photoshopped out
Well, I hope everyone have a nice morning/afternoon/evening.

Dayum my triceps are chonky
Anyone done the UA high school room?

Hello, I am not sure why but for some reason my nmap scanning is taking a long time. I am doing the telnet enum room, using nmap -A -p- <target> and it is saying about another 20 minutes. I did try other things, going specifically to port 23 using an NSE but I did not get the answer for the question.
I switched off my vpn and that had no effect
Yeah...
You're aggressively scanning 65k+ ports
it's going to take a while. you can speed it up by using some other flags, take a look at nmap -h and understand what the flags you're using are doing, and what others you could consider using.
Breh.... the whole moving laptops around without IT touching em is fucking us up.... lost 1 laptop, now I'm on the hunt
Hello guys, is there a way to downgrade Kali 2024.2 to Kali 2.0 ?
why?
Cause i wanna know how it looked like
Why downgrade and not just get an iso
^
thats alot of work to see what old kali looks like lol
Yeah
Thanks
Gave +1 Rep to @icy epoch (current: #72 - 98)
Can someone please check if all ports on the wreath network are in ignored state please couse I don't think it's supposed to be like that. 
#wreath-network please
I'm not the right person to ask, but I think vulnerability is used more in professinal environments? And I think else it doesn't really matter.
Again, I'm not the right person to ask :)
eyoooo
Depends on who I'm talking to. Management or engineering
do u guys think you can live of bugbounty?
I would say that all security flaws are flaws, but not all security vulnerabilities are flaws. Some vulnerabilities are by-design, feature-not-a-bug issues,
I don't know that I'd use flaw though
Probably issue
"there's an issue in the logic, that allows it to be exposed to x"
flaws are flaws = flaws are vulnerabilities?
something like that
No. Bug bounty is not a stable income.
you'd have to be one of the very best to actually live off it
So good luck with, for example, buying an house
what if imma tennager who know how to exploit stuff
You still can't live from it, although it is a nice supplement
my question was bad
i mean like a extra way
Then you will more than likely need your parents to actually receive the money
Yeah for sure
bug bounties pay some money when you successfully submit a report that they verify and are willing to pay out on, yes
good luck being sure they're going to pay out for your hours or days of work though
of course
just i get fun in ctfs, i think it will be the same at bug bounty
bug bounties involve more paperwork
Its a whole different environment to CTFs
like report
you have to actualyl write a report of your findings along with evidence
and you have to be careful to stay within the scope they define
Me after running around for 2 hours tracking down a laptop another person misplaced in the wrong bag
Jfc
it's very easy to accidentally end up aggressively scanning their entire network and causing a DOS by accident
also, it's not boot -> root
lmaooo
they need to make a ctf that pay when you complete it XDD
lol
there are!
prizes for top #1,2,3 etc
:O
TryHackMe also do one as well
Note, that's your experience (and yes, acceptable).
Some people might experience it different.
why more painful? at least the resources and APIs you're interacting with and exploiting are all uniform and not some webmaster from hell's nightmare personal invention
no way
