I have a quick question if i use the openvpn on tryhackme and want to swith to hackthebox do i need to reinstal the vpn file?
ok so it will not mess up the other
i use my own system not the vm
You're not running your own VM?
nope
It's not really recommended to run directly on your main machine
I'd (and a lot of other people too) would even recommend to use VM's instead of Dualboot.
Microsoft likes to mess up dualboot
- you are directly connected to your network
Im not the best at seting up vms and maintaining them
Tbh, I would say dual booting is harder, but that's OK. You have a whole community to support you with your VM questions
A good starting point is either downloading Virtual Box or VMware Workstation Pro
What do you do when you're stuck in a directory?
Hello everyone
What do you mean?
Hi
t
Hope everyone is having a wonderful day/night
When you can't exit a directory
Still doesn't help. What are you currently working on and what is your goal?
hello
Hi
Hi
I am doing the wreath network but no matter what I do I can't exit the /usr/libexec/webmin directory
Hi
I would ask questions pertaining to wreath in #wreath-network
do you guy think i should buy a old laptop just to have linux as a operating system in it
Did that
But it's rather a general question
You can, you can also run VMs if you have a laptop already
If you want
No use a VM instead
Im starting to figure out Java script Yay
Or a VM
vm feels reaaly shit
or is there anyway to make it smoother
Put Vaseline
did that
If you did, asking across multiple channels isn't going to get you assistance any quicker. Everyone here is a volunteer and will provide assistance when they are able.
I can’t help you anymore then sorry
That’s Dank
Look at how you're provisioning the machine and see where you can make improvements
Facts
That man is doing great job as a community mentor
Cheers to you mate
i tried giving it more ram but it just runs worse
Give it more space
What's the overall machine specs and what are you assigning to the VM?
What is the host OS as well
16 gb ram assigning 2 and os is windows
i5 11 gen and rtx 3060
Do you have the CPU model?
Laptop processors are not the same as desktop
I think you said you were on a laptop
Gah dam Daddy you confused google
Not confused, just trying to get all the facts
Right, so what's the CPU model?
Drop 👏 some 👏 facts 👏 Dank
is it not the processor you are asking about
You provided the generation but not the model
i5
If you're on windows, press the windows key, and type about
There are many i5 processors
do you wanna know the cores?
I want to know the processor model
11400h
OK, how many cores did you assign to the VM?
I think you assigned to little RAM
but when i tried on 4 it was lagging way too much
4-6GB would be better, CPU I can't give recommendations because you don't know what's assigned
Yo guys, im trying to boot kali 2018.4 in a Microsoft surface laptop 4 but when I choose any option to boot in, it leaves me on a small black screen. What should I do ?
There will be slight visual latency as the CPU is doing the graphics processing, not the GPU
Consumer GPUs can't be split between the host and the VM
any way of using the gpu instead
If you pass through the GPU, you lose your screen because you took it away from the host
Given you have graphics processing on the CPU, you may be able to pass through your GPU on the laptop. However, I would do some research to see if it's feasible.
anyone can Help me ?
Are you choosing the USB as the boot device in the BIOS?
Yes
no
Also, this is your laptop correct? As in you paid for it?
Yes
just curious, why 2018.4?
Wait, why are you using 2018.4? Do you have a specific reason?
ayy
Cause back in the time I used it and I wanted to have the same experience as before
I don't know if I can recommend that. It's missing security updates
Kali has stayed fairly similar over the years
It's also probably the cause of your issues, potentially missing the correct graphics drivers
I know but... I wanted to bring back memories...
But I think it is a screen problem
Does the screen work with windows or another computer?
just boot it in a VM
Ye
So it's not a screen problem...
@strange plover have you tested the media on another machine. The iso might be corrupt, that's why I said try a VM
I mean... When I dual-booted Kali 2024, I had to add a specific command ("amd_iommu=off iommu=off") into the boot code, bc there was a screen problem
Ye I have. And it worked.
try an external monitor
Why not. But Ill always have to use one to boot into it. Bc there gonna be still this problem
all about isolating the problem, and build from there
Cohanim Am Kedoshecha Kamur 🙂
ure a jew?
jew and israeli 🙂
so your pro israel?
👀
Just got here, not more religious controversy
No, I was about to ask Rex about traditional argentinian smoothie flavours
are you pro israel or not @blazing granite
:mute: dabcohen#0 has been muted.
I'm not talking politics, I'm a proud Israeli citizen that's all I'm going to say.
So Rex. Argentinian Smoothies... Whatcha got?
Please keep it in English only
Esqy go to sleep
smoothie are not really a thing around here, so no traditional flavours
I am disappoint.
my bad, sorry 🙂
I'm headed out now. Y'all be good
Everybody behave 😉
Out? on a worknight? Damn.
We have bee's?
Touche
I have to set up stuff tomorrow and do exams, then I am done with class esqy
I bet somebody does 😂
I thouught you were setting up today?
there are some places, but no enough to be a thing and to have traditional Argentine flavours
wasn't my finest attempt at a subject change 😄
Teacher forgot one last task cause I was too fast, so have to do it from home in an emulator
If I want to get straight A's
Which you do
why are they called danish??
why does swedes suggest they are from Wiener
i.e danish pastry in swedish is Wienerbröd
those are actually from Belgium 😂
Hostile
Man asks the square root of pie and says we are the ones who are boring
during World War I American soldiers that were in Belgium tried the fries. All the Belgian soldiers were speaking French because is the official language of the army so the americans called them French fries, somehow the name stuck 🙂
Apparently we're obligate to entertain people now 😂
Maybe he will get banned, yayayhayahahah ya right
huh. I read somewhere that 'frenching' was the name of how the potatos were cut. So they were 'Frenched Fries' which got shortened. I guess I was misinformed
Never knew the French made fries
there are many theories AFAIK 🙂
so we can pick and choose
When I studied history of gastronomy, when I was studying to be a sommelier, that's what I learnt, so I'm going with that one that one seems to be the more accepted one, but I was never bother to go deeper 😂
What is a sommelier
Well, that sounds more official than 'I read it on a meme article'
I'm willing to be proven wrong, until then I'll go with that one 🙂
bored bored bored bored bored bored bored
None of you got my shitty joke about the square root of pie
It's called square root of pi not pie which is the joke
The config file won’t download for some reason
the last digit of pi in base 12/duodecimal is 4
For vpn
You're the only one that didn't understand your attitude is the reason why
How could I not understand my own shitty joke?
Idk why I'm trynna pick a fight in just bored, I'm sorry
CosmicMelodies.com .... This is the first 17 digits of pi base 12 played in the 12 musical tones, perfectly resolved with one note added.
To be clear, "4" is not the real final digit of pi.
Although it cannot be calculated, this musical rendition is perfect. Random chromatic sequences are not nearly as harmonically structured.
3 . 1 8...
yes shadow has a source to back up their claim that the final digit of pi in base 12 is a 4
combinatorics/probability hurts my head
There is a Spanish saying the translation would be something like "belly full, happy heart" 🙂
Stress is killing me. You?
huh
oh yeah
the goat
I do that 4 times a week
but Im overloading graduate math/physics courses so the stress is bound to be present
AFAIK pi hasn't a repeating pattern, that's why it's called an irrational number and can't be represented as a fraction.
No reason to rush
what are you studying?
cyber sec?
nice
CS is oversaturated af
just realized they are both cs
mathematical physics
yeah that is true but it still sounds amazing as music using a full blown set of all piano keys
all good with that tbh, started a new degree at 28, best decision of my life
I want a mechanical engineering degree after I get my phd
then I can build my iron man suit
i understand that
i'm studying for my ai-102, that's why i love swe, you always learn
whats that
makes sense
I ran out of my adhd med a week ago and Ive been feeling braindead ever since
now is all AI, a while ago was all ML, even what people didn't know or understand they put the ML label 😂
fr
my insurance isnt working for some reason either so Ill have to pay full price for it
smh
insurance can be a pain in the a most of the time
doing the devsecops learning path
for now its things that i know, i just want to do it correctly
you?
Why won’t my openvpn connect
this is not a good idea
Hey y'all! Saw TryHackMe a month ago and recommended it to a friend who wanted to learn cybersecurity.
So, I'd love to see what people think of it and how it has helped them improve! Has anyone felt that it has made a difference? If so, how?
going to take a look at it for sure!
it has given shadow tons of people to learn from and teach new concepts like how to scan target machines and secure stuff better
Why won’t my openvpn connect
Tls error
which server??? have you tried the others on tryhackme???
also what zumi said
#site-support will make sure more people see it
yuup yuup
also shadow finally made the osi model stick through tryhackme
Hey, that's lit! And how's the job market like in cybersecurity? I'm a web developer, and most folks think the only doable thing in IT is web, for some reason x.x
WIsh they'd see how cool cybersec is!
no idea on the job market
as just starting uni next week
but it also depends heavily on where you are located
I'm in Latam
just wanted to know how it's like for y'all. I like to explore
heard there is plenty of calls for SOC analyst positions all over the world
Oof. Bet. I wonder why it's hella hectic for you guys as well? IIRC, during the pandemic, the hype was mostly towards web development jobs. Didn't know this surge had also happened in cybersec. I thought it was mostly those online bootcamps causing the fuzz
SOC?
2 year unless shadow goes the extension year
IT networking with security focus is basically the name of the program
security operations center
Can't imagine the kinds of classes you took
look at log files and try and send the rest of the blueteam to patch holes
Ahh. So I saw this one dude on Reddit apparently complaining for being "forced" to analyze log files without a special tool thingy that apparently you guys use often. It was for a job interview for an entry-level position
I guess the bar has been risen to a whole new level now
route for most people into cyber
helpdesk -> soc junior analyst -> soc senior -> blue team -> pentester -> red team
Idk why zumi i always thought you were a pentester
Lol so help desk being the entry for entry levels in cybersec too
Are red team testers cooler than blue team ones?
Depends on what you mean by cooler
They both have different roles
Red teamers primary role is to test the blue team
What’s up
They're higher up on the scale. The way a newbie in cybersec would look at it would be as if the red team was the last level for the coolness quest
:^)
(that newbie being me)
(except I'm not doing cybersec)
(but it's still hella cool to know)
i got sour patch kids. :)
Hmm
In theory the blue team gets the grunt of the work trying to get better at sniffing out the red team and hardening there systems
Yeah, that's what I got from the early lessons. Yeah, I did like the first few lessons on the website lol
That's cool you guys exist. Seriously. I wish I had learned about open source projects like these before. I've transitioned into this new career in programming thanks to one of these open source projects
Now I can't get enough of learning x) it's been a year
Sometimes this feeling of "should have started earlier" kicks in, but then I remember I've stumbled upon this path at the right time, and that there's no rush to life.
Ill just bounty hunt
Id rather be trying to break stuff rather than stressing that i miscategorized an alert as a false positive and got my company ransomwared
Less stressful
my friend is a pentester at a bank, he just hit 30 years old he looks 45
I can’t imagine the reports
I think everyone is just miserable these days
Can I (hypothetically) Datamine a discord channel for the sake of creating an llm if I keep all people anonymous?
Facts
this server is too specifically inclined to one subject.
It would have to be a general hanging out server.
I'd rather not get in trouble with discord, though.
and we past 02:00 again so time for the meepity moopity beepity boopity beep boop for the sleep sloop
Magic Lantern is keystroke logging software created by the United States' Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Magic Lantern was first reported in a column by Bob Sullivan of MSNBC on November 20, 2001 and by Ted Bridis of the Associated Press.
Anybody got some more information as to why antiviruses aren't allowed to detect FBI made malware
1 word: inside
Nah but fr I have no idea
so why collect it
so they can blackbag you and torture you at some black site
true
thats more the cia

they tell the CIA so they can waterboard you instead
um yes they do
backroom of a mens club in san Francisco in 1962
supposdly theres a pretty tense relationship between them and the fbi
fbi will arrest a source that the cia might want to keep
stuff like that
crazy
cia looks like a cool place to intern but also the peacecorps looks fun
work with the cia is a lifetime ban

hi Paul
lies, this is the second time Im seeing Paul
I heard that the cat in that pic died like a year ago
Can anyone teach me?
😣
I know some basics but I just want some guidance
teach you what
ayo
He wants to learn the whole knowledge of everything that exists in this world.
ok i have a guide for him
no thats not enough
he must
go to the libraray of congress
and read and understand every book there
afrer he finishes that
he must convrt to Catholicism and be granted access to the vatican archives
then he must read everythting there
yeah
then its easier
Flew my DJI Mini 4 pro for the first time tonight
he must find the library of alexandria
There is a big library in Alexandria. THE Library of Alexandria was destroyed, by a fired started by the romans
iirc something like 99.5% of all ancient ttexts are lost
purportedly started by the romans.
Yes, Im aware. That was part of the joke.
They tried to burn some ships and the fire went out of control, it was never the intention to burn the library that was the source of knowledge of the ancient era.
i was just being silly, but appreciate the clarification!
I was in the modern library 🙂
I love ancient history and roman one in particular 🙂
I studied philosophy and bookbinding, i'm right there with you. 🙂
didnt the place burn down a few times
to the point where a lot of the important stuff was copied elsewhere
there was a pretty catastrophic burning of the library of alexandria... my grandfather spent most of his life comparing translations of those neoplatonist texts into arabic and other languages to try to recover the texts that were lost.
he was essentially doing forensics on the translations
the library burnt a few time in its almost 1000 years existent but none as devastated as the famous one, perpetrated by Julius Caesar
mb
cool job
very cool. always aspired to it. alas, i am me and he is he.
I met one of the people in charge of the translation of the dead sea scrolls. She was a friend of a friend. Fascinated woman indeed
The scrolls that were found in Qumran Caves near Ein Feshkha, on the northern shore of the Dead Sea, that it's call the sea of salt in Hebrew
depends of your needs but ram nowadays doesnt cost as much
the new standard is 32 gigs tbh
I have 16 😔
ram is never a waste, so if you can get the 32, grave it with both hand and without thinking.
me 8G+16G
I do know that, but I don't care
I have 16, but I use Linux so I'm not worry about it
i have two laptops with 16 gb each if that counts
so I technically have 32 gb
I don't think is impressive but it's the truth 😂
always impressed when i see a fellow linux user
Proud Linux user since 1993 🙂
keep telling yourself that 😂
i have no opinion, but i use windows for work and linux for personal stuff
but i do admit i dual boot windows for gaming purposes
Don't you mean GNU plus Linux? 😉
I'm not into nitpicking, the GNU line was use ad nauseam but either pedantic or people that only know that fact about Linux 😉 😂
if you're talking about Linux it was 33. I still remember reading Linus post on usenet when he announced his project
Yes, and now it's a bit of a joke, to be honest.
I knew GNU even before Linux with Hurd but that project it didn't quite take off
take care!
wow it seems that hex is writting his autobiography 😂
he's been typing since i left to get a drink in the kitchen hahaha
now he's stopped, all that anticipation for nothing, what a teaser 😉 😂 😛
I must go, see you all!!!! 👋
take care!
cya
anyone know how to fix a crashed dm my other dms work and refresh and closing tab and opening new one all didnt work but my other dms work fine
@outer hollow did this also happen to you
Real
nah your still in their for me
Wait isn't this that girl from neon genesis
Qucik question does anyone know how to hook the open vpn up with kali on vmware
try sending me a new mesg
just did
everytime I try to run sudo openvpn vpn file it stops at protocol options: excplicit-exit-notify 3
should i close dm and open a new one?
see if that works
stil having the same problem
yeah ok lets try it
yeah my other chats work just fine
thats so odd
maybe its a discord bug or something
yeah my discord still doesnt let me connect to a live video call on here
idk if its buggy because im running linux as main os
maybe you havent verified your identity thats why you cant connect to streams ...
nah i can go in and see but as soon as someone presents there screen it just buffers
and on my phone it works fine
yeah thats weird
so weird lol make youself king on thatr machine
i want to try and practice my persistance techniques
even tho they are no where near yours lol
mine are normal i use systemd and cronjobs like most of people
akuna matata
I'm trying to get a name for a discord server but I can't post the picture here
@outer hollow i think i got the problem my antivirus seems to block the chats maybe cuz of that bin
hmmm whats the way around that one?
i will disable my antivirus delete it and then enable my antivirus
You need to verify
Too much messing about to verify
Then you can't post images
This professor really gave us 9 problems to solve after the first day of class
do the questions' questions have questions too
do I have a question for that?
sup
Hey Rinzler, long time no see. How are you?
some
i opened a bug report for a package saying that it's completely nonfunctional and the packager needs to update it to the latest version
a month later it finally got a response
the guy closed it saying that the version is already available on another release and another distribution
people are incompetent
It works on my machine
365 day streak
Damm your bio is so relatable 😂😂

Hyd?
i'm tired af but i'm already down a rabbit hole so i'm wanting to finish first lol
Which rabbit hole?
u ppl use coffee to untire?
been putting off properly setting up mypy and have to fix things to add it now
Just in the morning and maybe afternoon.
what other alternatives are there
to( untire)
redbull is nasty af lmao
no i dont drink
frr
Did it tho but it feel more poisoning myself than with coffee 😄
You are sure, you want to work in IT ?
im student so depends what i become
Just jokin about stereotypes ^^ . Lot of ppl don't drink coffee. Idk how they manage the day but... 🤷
its just a routine maybe
Could be
like you cant do stuff without coffe bcuz ur used to it
and other way can be i dont know what working with coffee is and i work normally without thinking i need energy drinks
It is also addictive to a certain extent. Like many things, it's a matter of the mind.
yea
its like saying i cant do stuff without coffee but have u tried to be without coffee for atleast a week before saying
then the comparision can be made
Yes. I quitted smokin, coffee and sugar. Coffee, i couldn't resist 😂
File inclusion room seem to be very hard for me!!
example for me is chips
i say ill only eat chips if i score in the top 3
if i dont i dont get chips for that month, and then the next month the same goal, if i manage to get a good score then i eat once, so i just go by deserve it or dont
If that is a parameter then i deserve my two cups of coffee 😎👌😄
Its a good attitude 😎👍

Something you wrote, and you're promoting it in the server.
Can't find it

I need a holiday
I am passing these tests nicely
Of course you are. You are Bella after all
And you are causing the professor to panic because you are smashing through the labs so quickly.
yeah, I am done with all the labs
I thought you had your last one today?
same
welcome
I already made the configs, I can't do it in Cisco Modelling labs cause I don't have anyconnect installed and I refuse to install school monitoring system on my personal desktop to install it, and I don't have the ISO's laying for GNS3
I love them
I still have like 4-5 weeks off 😭
any fellow noobs here wanting to do a box together? lmk
Which one
really ?
They won't reply, they've left the server.
leaving the server in a pancake shape
Not this time, they left of their own free will.
Okay okay
Leaving away if I liked the pfp or not, they have good willpower to keep it
If they want to leave a server for it

don't know if you guys are using hyperland, but I am switching over to river
https://christitus.com/freedesktop-bans-hyprland/
Having Fun with Technology
But Hyprland will continue to exist, right?
yes
Hmm but what does the ban mean then?
Banning Vaxry means he can’t contribute to wlroots and keep putting patches which were very beneficial to wayland. He will still maintain and produce hyprland.
I don't really get the difference 😅
wlroots is a wayland compositor library
hyprland is a different wayland compositor
Hmm and Vaxry contributed to wlroots and hyprland, but now he can't contribute to wlroots anymore
Do I get it right? 😅
Sad for him, a member of the moderation team did something stupid
And he has to pay the price
Vaxry is the one who did something stupid 
Oh whut
won't go deeper into it cause drama and the rules here, but just wanted to point it out to @sand trench I know she might care about it

Oh yay, we can do more illegal stuff. 😄
little headsup for any Opensource project contributors on github - phishing attempt seen in the wild; malicious user raises an issue on the repo with a link to a malicious mediafire download. Obv email gets sent out to any and all who have eml notifs for the given repo, and the eml source will be github so easily bypasses spam filters. 👀

Since how long do u use arch
Is that ohmyzsh
yes. with some olugfins. and kitty terminal with fastfetch
Ur arch customization looks better than mine and i installed it up to 10
Times in the last 3 years 😂
Impressive bro
it is ml4w script from github. it is pre set on lot's of things. just need some time to get to know of how it owrks. if is update you can lost all if you do not protect what you make
How did u got so less cpu on discord
only btop theme is my custom. and @lament tendon helped me to make script for that
idk. it is default for me
Didn‘t knew there are custom themes for btop
But u don’t use plugins?
it is not. i make one from template. and if i change theme global it update btop collors also
Ahhh now i get it
discord plugins? nop. offical discord app
I see
i like kinda keep clean stuff. at last clean setup that works best
Yeah me too, i next to arch i use macos but i always have a parrot vm
i setup hyprland on kali also 🙂 pain in ass but it is nice
I don’t like kali, the repositorys got ripped too many times on my vm
Thats why i prefer parrot
Also i have an ubuntu vscode server
That kali customization looks sick
it is not recomend to do. it can break easy. and if you are of not know things bit in backend is hard to fix
indeed. found my self of set things from start. nice way to learn
I can remember when they released the archinstall, it was such a relief because i installed it 3 times manually
i ge panic attack when do manually

Damn we are neighbors

they are marked as optional as the previous paths covers 90%+ of the contents of said paths... can still be worth going through them but if you wanna get a lot of more knowledge quicker they are fine to skip and do parts here and there as refershers instead
Goodie goodie
mostly looking at sway as the config from i3 will be compatible
keeping to use i3 for now for better game support

also, why wouldn't you recommend doing web fundamentals before junior penetration testing? It just seems the logical route.
Interested in hearing your opinion 🙂
Aye, Will do mate,
haha, not gonna do that one, I mostly interested into knowing about others experience.
I don't know why everyone abuses leg even when you don't feel any pain in leg on leg day. You feel pain after 2 days from the leg day.
Tough I love them... They don't hurt me enough now... With experience it becomes manageable.
woot
sorry busy moderating a discord to 100% all hands on deck situtation
Can anybody lend me a void?
I need to scream.
Here you go - /dev/null
Thank-you. 🙂
Sorry, but I wish you a good day ahead
Thats fine, no worries. If you get a chance I'd like to hear your input.
Nah, that was perfect, it made me smile 🙂
Hola friend
If not then I hope your day gets better

@shadow loom 
hello everyone
I am so confused of which field to choose from CTF categories for further career and job workflow as well
Can anyone give guidance or suggestions
I would advice you to explore them all
And to understand just google the catagory name
I have already explored I am weak at coding like my coding skills are not that par
Codewars is a good website if you just wanna focus on your programming and problem solving skills
Which field of them is like more highly paid and interesting as well
Everyone has a different perspective on what they enjoy . I would suggest you to take the Tryhackme quiz : https://tryhackme.com/r/careers/quiz
Okay and if I ask you which field u have opted for and why
Also do some free basic rooms or i think pre-security path was open to everyone so you can see what you like
just for an opinion
I choose Red-teaming which is a bit different and Advance then Pentesting . But i would first work as a pentester meaning i would test system security ( in short i would hack systems with permissions and then report the vulns i have found and get paid for it )
I also have opted for Red teaming since I love to be on attacking side.
Goodluck
It would be an interesting ride
How is OSINT?
Considering you meant " What is Osint "
Osint is a skill not a field stands for
"Open source intelligence" you use what is already public and accessible via search engines and you find juicy information on your target
Use chatgpt for these type of questions
no I know about OSINT. I am talking about the job market
Terrible advice imo.
Maybe u can use it if you are a Private Investigator . Idk other then that
I mean saying " What is osint" to chatgpt is pretty ok
and Network Side?
You have to learn a journal skillset to get into either Red or Blue teaming
which includes stuff such as
Scripting
Networking
OS Fundamentals
etc ...
Tryhackme in itself is a great guide
I am talking about Network Pentesting side
What about it ?
Is that okay considering job market and expertise
Yeah
There are whole certs based on it such as PNPT
THM & HTB
any books
First you have to understand Networking in itself then you can read this
Attacking Network Protocols - James Forshaw
thanks and any modules of this on tryhackme as well as htb
Tryhackme has a Path follow it and you will learn this in it . Hackthebox as few modules which you can lookup
because general explotation and how to handle reports and stuff goes before being able to understand websites fully and exploiting them... i.e having more none website specific things helps a ton

Thanks for this ample info! Can you tell me whether it is fascinating field as well
since many people go to web pentesting
As said before what is interesting to me can be booring for you
So explore on your own
Talking about your experience
I find Network exploitation to be very interesting personally and i hate web exploitation
oh why is that so
How am I supposed to get past this???
No matter what I do I get wrong answer
You know you are inside a machine that is being used by a user or is critical to that organization and that gives a adernaline rush kinda and i just like to imagine when i'm doing so hoping from one network to another . hacking machines on the same network and imagining all those machines are placed IRL somewhere just makes it more interesting to me
But i can't really explain it in words to be honest with you
There are alot of aspects to it
I had been working in a corp with rev as well as pentesting
I find web to be complex
While Rev is also too complex especially IoT side
I don't think i have much of a choice i have to get good at all of these to a certain level and then i can just focus on what i enjoy the most
I lost mine at 60 few weeks back
so u pursuing pentesting side
Had to travel too frequent for some collage work
Yes , Moving Towards Red-Teaming
all the very best
ah yes it makes sense. This is actually good news seems as I can jump into exploitation and a little more in to the nitty gritty a little sooner than expecting, so this is a welcome adjustiment.
does anyone know if I complete some rooms in a path that also shows up in another path, does the site let me know if I've completed them, or must I take note of what I have and havent done?
Site will let yk
awesome thanks, just finishing CS50P on the final week, cant wait to jump in! xD

Goodluck 🙂
They'll show as complete in other paths, you can also check all your completed rooms in your profile
hi
hey @analog sorrel

Hello, I have a problem with Kali linux. When I boot, it doesnt show me the GUI, instead it just shows me a login on a terminal
have you tried moving through the tty's, using ctrl + alt + function key. It's usually F1, but might be F7
I tried all but doesnt work
have you confirmed that you have installed a desktop
Yep
fresh install?
If you are already having problems and it's a fresh install, I'd just reinstall
I'd also try a live boot first
I tried live boot but it doesnt work on my PC
Idk why🤔🤔
I just have access to a terminal
dualboot is not so smart choice
live boot also is run from usb or any. installed on pc it looks on another place to run it
the only reason I mentioned run a live boot first, was just to check the media with the hardware
probably the GUI login is disable from terminal try sudo systemctl status and the name of the display manager like gdm3, lightdm, or sddm
you can try cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log to check if there is any error there
check .xinitrc or .xsession for errors
try sudo apt install --reinstall "your display manager and desktop env
after that you can do sudo systemctl restart name of your display manager
did you isntall xfce or what option ?
Yep xfce
do and check all what I posted below

Can anyone solve this room question
Room :- hypervisorinternals , Task - 6, 2nd Question
What name does the VMware guest additions process show up as on the guest?
I don't know what that is, but FYI, we don't solve curents ctf, homeworks, etc. You can solve it yourself have faith 🙂 use your knowledge and the power of google
that's how the wm used to be, light, small, and stable 🙂
the problem is that with all this new graphics people are spoiled for choice and there are so many that people don't really know what they want anymore 😂
Sometimes security policies can't be followed because of business needs. What avenue does a security engineer have to fulfil business needs in these cases?
anyone knows the answer?
google might 😂
i tried😞
we don't help with homework here
thats not a hw
where is this question from then?
evening
anybody knows how does the “points system” work? 😭
nah not the levels, like for example imagine a room X, and 4 people A, B, C and D respectively. A got 790, B got 400, C also got 400, and you are (D) and you do that room but happen to get 290 for example. Like huh??

that's awesome news shadow, hope it all goes smoothly
Hello, can anyone help me?
I updated metasploit and don't know what happened but now I cannot access internet on my kali vm. I tried so many google solutions but all the solutions leads to restrting NetworkManager but when I am trying to restart it I am getting this error: Failed to restart NetworkManager.service: Unit NetworkManager.service not found.
uh oh
welcome to kali
if the networkmanager service is not found you are in the deep water without a life vest
💀
Hello everyone I am a cybersecurity student my level is beginner, but I want to try CTF competitions so I want to participate in the Black Hat MEA flag guard and i should get 3 on my team so can any one help with that
black hat ctf is really hard
@chilly veldt It was vm but I have everything related to cybersec in that vm
just download the networkmanager service on your host and copy/paste it into your vm
alternatively move the documentation files off that vm and reset
I am also thinking that
but I don't know how did I manage to f**k myself 🙂
I bet it isn't magic😛
package got removed for some reason???
it's kali
it breaks packages on daily
Those rolling releases😄
(also reason why you make snapshots)
- take another snapshot after upgrade
uuum zumi how do you expect that to work with 0 internet connection??
do you guys have any recommendation which vm should I use ?
depends, what you need to do?
now I will remember till death
FYI, you should carefully check the output of apt where it mentions removing packages
Or any package manager
IIRC, someone did something and removed linux-kernel 😛
Oh, it was gnome
that was me
accidentally removed linux kernel to boot on my arch
So, is there any way I can get my files from the VM and transfer it to new VM before I say goodbye to it?
you using vmware?
It hurts when this happens but setting it up again with all the mistakes gives a better VM/System😂
I have
shared folders?
virtualbox
drag and drop
thats why i prefer a parrot vm more, never had these problems, only on kali
I want to use something new and probably better
newest stable version of kali
i can recommend u parrot os
Both are nice✌️
yes
how is kali purple ?
Someone pointed out about missing tools on it🤔
ngl i haven’t seen a purpose yet (personally. that doesn’t mean one doesn’t exist.)
a lot of the tools i saw that were included seem weird to me to run in that fashion, rather than as a standalone service elsewhere
yeah classics are better
I usually just run Ubuntu and install everything I need when I need it, everything else is bloated
