Have you ever seen the fightclub Chinese ending?

If you don't want to read the article it basically ends with a black screen with the text "Through the clues provided by Tyler, the police rapidly figured out the whole plan and arrested the criminals, sucessfully preventing the bomb from exploding. After the trial, Tyler was sent to a lunatic asylum receiving psychological treatment. He was discharged from the hospital in 2012."

My doordash driver just now was awesome btw, he pulled up in a new Ford Festa hatchback when he was driving a MiniCooper previously, I made some comments about how it would be nice for rally and he was all in saying he wanted it rally tuned. Don't often see that in the US

Ive heard plenty of people wanting to be F1 drivers but never a rally car

sinful moon
#

F1 seems neat but not quite my thing, rally is way way way more my motorsport of choice

Yes both require insane mastery of their vechicles but I enjoy how much closer rally is to extensively modified road legal, and just the insanity of the special tracks

I have a really budget wheel

#

i want a G27 though

sinful moon
#

I could get a wheel and all that but that goes against the vibe in which I want to play these games, usually just relaxing after work instead of needing to setup the wheel and etc. I just don't have room for a permanant setup

lol especially for Euro Truck/America Truck which I love and while nice with a wheel, is far from required

One summer in HS I actually did a dream journal and practiced um, what’s the word, interactive dreams lol. That’s not the word but you know what I mean

#

Lucid dreaming, that’s the word lol

blazing granite
#

It has been years, I remember because the last dream were parts in English, Hebrew and Italian 🙂

sinful moon
#

That was actually pretty rad. I did have a couple lucid dreams that summer

worn thorn
sinful moon
#

It is kinda neat, because the theory behind it is, you have to recognize correctly that you are in a dream, nearly Inception style. Look for clock faces that don’t read the same twice, light switches that don’t work and etc. It helps especially if you check for this stuff in your every day life to re-enforce it in your dreams

rapid merlin
#

I almost always know I’m dreaming

#

Doesn’t make them less scary though

#

You have to make decisions when you know you’re dreaming

sinful moon
#

You can train yourself to take control in those scenerios, but sure I’ve ran into plenty of the “I know I’m dreaming but I can’t do anything about it” as well

rapid merlin
#

I have enough responsibilities when I’m awake 😅

sinful moon
#

lol totally fair

#

there’s a reason this was only a side project for one summer back in high school

#

it’s a pain to maintain a dream journal which helps you to better recognize your dreams and etc

😅Yeah

theres one advent i didnt solve but i wanna try solve it in 1d no sleep but ik ima get banned if i did it so cant take that challenge

If you solved the extra challenge for 2023 advent of cyber you should kinda be all set, but fair the group aspect of that was fun

sinful moon
#

nice nice

static sierra
#

whats ur rank elizabeth

sinful moon
#

Yeah I did AOC but probably only 3/4 of the extra challenge

static sierra
#

mine is trash its 1533

sinful moon
#

lol I work in infosec professionally so I haven’t been keeping my rank up, mine is likely significantly lower

#

I can check

static sierra
#

oh working in the field

#

i left the field from a year

#

cant do anth without it looks illegal and the market didnt understand the cybersec pretty much so back to software dev

Yeah no where close

and im doing pearson bachelor and pearson is such a ew

#

I broke 10k previously but I haven’t been keeping up

static sierra
#

i just solved everything free (10 rooms left ima solve em when i get the spark)

#

after 5k its kinda harder to lvl up

#

but after solving much rooms i noticed they all lowkey look the same

#

same techniques same things

sinful moon
#

I mean we’re both max level anyways, it’s only rank now which is kinda of silly

static sierra
#

recently i solved osiris and took notes while copied the whole cmd if u want it

sinful moon
#

No thank you, I’m more than good

static sierra
#

its the only premium insane room

sinful moon
#

I’d rather solve most of these on my own until I’m stumped and even then press on and continue until I actually reach out for help

static sierra
#

its like a walkthrough duh

#

just need to organize it then i can post it for the community

sinful moon
#

yeah I’d rather not until I am stuck, thank you for the offer though

static sierra
#

so hows the infosec market?

sinful moon
#

eh I’m at a small MSP where I’m basically both sysadmin, main infosec peep, main compliance peep and more, so in my own job, a bit swamped. I have even more roles than that but just small business things lol

static sierra
#

what about the payment per hour?

sinful moon
#

sole Linux admin and despite me making manuals, only one who knows how our Linux servers work lolol

#

that’s a pretty frank question that not many are willing to answer but sure, I’m at $30.00 an hour, still low considering what I do, but they at least accounted for inflation mostly from my former pay

static sierra
#

30k an hour?

#

id work for one week the retire

sinful moon
#

in the us the . is the decimal place lol

#

so 30 bucks

static sierra
#

OH SORRY I DIDNT SEE THE .

sinful moon
#

no worries I know in some countries the , is a decimal place so I wasn’t sure

static sierra
#

y its kinda low as a backend dev a bank offered me 120$ per hour and i declined their offer to focus on my degree

sinful moon
#

Yeah still this isn’t quite software dev, although lol devops is another role I’ve been pressed into and did well at

static sierra
#

just do what u like if u aint struggling financially

sinful moon

Bit more tricky with some Mom’n Pop style MSPs like this but this is still orders of magnitude better than my $11 an hour working as a home health care provider

#

Bingo

static sierra
#

but u dont understand what i mean im talking about just linux

#

for kids

#

yk?

sinful moon
#

I’m not sure there is a correct way to just instill these values in messing around with operating systems. Current gens are a different vibe where they sometimes don’t even understand filesystems and etc

static sierra
#

so once they go to college they would be HIM

sinful moon
#

I’d just say using Linux, using Windows, using whatever traditional OS is actually the way

#

If they have the aptitude, they will push the limits naturally while trying to do what they’re looking to do

static sierra
#

btw @mossy river i love how i share the platform like im getting paid

#

when someone asks me how u do this i say to get on track without being confused use this web dedicate urself one month and u would be great

#

we need language support tho

static sierra
#

let me be straight forward "i wanna force them to use linux"

#

im evil for this but they gonna thank me if they r into IT since they bother me with how u code that and see me winning hackathons

sinful moon
#

I mean you don’t need to do that but even just using Windows regularly would be a start. So many of these kids are trained on smartphones and ironically lack a ton of the knowledge we just got inherently by using such general purpose OSes

static sierra
#

cut the how and start with teach me thats what i wanna hear

static sierra
sinful moon
#

Ouch lol

static sierra
#

or they lose their internet connection

static sierra
#

i monitor everything and blocked alot of things on the network so they can grow up right

sinful moon
#

but yeah so many of these kids are just trained that all files just live in a “bucket” under each app due to mobile security protections. Breaking them of this and showing them that filesystems exist is imho one of the more impactful things that can be done. That’s my largest concern these days

static sierra
#

one of my bros learnt about trojan by having one on his phone

#

and thats y android shouldnt be allowed for kids

Just gotta remember that these kids were trained on iOS and Android and are not familiar with actual general purpose OSes

you lost me lol

and told em it cant be plugged unless my laptop is turned on since they just watch funny yt on it

#

and they beleived it since i can build a circut that would do that or have a software that lock the pc and need to be unlocked from a remote pc

btw did anyone see network chuck video thats about distributing a pc to multiple users?

# sinful moon lol it’s called RDP or VNC

Fair Microsoft has licensing restrictions on RDP, which one unofficial terminal server device notably bypassed, but VNC will just werk anywhere. There’s tons more solutions to this problem though and it’s something we use in line of business quite a bit

#

Very long and entertaining video about a hardware card that arguably bypasses Microsoft’s RDP licensing : https://youtu.be/v8tjA8VyfvU?si=1vGmswuOL2a2xEpn

How did a company in the mid 2000s figure out how to cut the cost of computing six times over, and why haven't any of us heard of it? How did they work around Microsoft's legal limitations? Can it run Crysis?

I found this product for $4.95 at the local junk store and, as usual, it caused me to discover an entire universe of capabilities I'd alw...

iirc this is still 100% via RDP, but majorly messed with

That was because I had the audacity to share another literally related to THM users Discord after another user asked for beginner resources. That third party THM Discord was oriented on helping to advise absolute beginners. I thought it would be the perfect resource.

But no, sharing any Discord at all will get you a one day mute, so be careful

lol yep sounds about right. It’s understandable but even more harsh and infuriating when you were just trying to provide assistance

blazing granite

indeed 😂 but it's automatic and can't be lifted

Yeah they struggled with it for me as well, I think they did eventually find a way at around 18 hours

#

lol just more frustrating when you’re in the middle of advising a newbie and helping them along and then just… suddenly disappear

I would recommend the Discord staff to amend the #rules to clarify this, there is nothing in there that says you will be muted for sharing a (non-self promoting) Discord link.

Did I just get a virus? Or what did I get? I accidentally allowed a website in firefox to send notifications. Then it kept spamming NSFW notifications and even though I clicked "disable notifications from this website" on the popup they kept coming, then they were coming so fast you couldn't click the dialog box. Eventually I just disabled ALL notifications and they stopped.

How does a firefox notification continue after you tell it "disable notifications from this website"?

The intel hard drive uses drivers that intel doesn't provide anymore SureBruh

You have to dig through the forum to find a way to extract the drivers from an executable

#

And most of the forum posts are 404'd

So Linux will probably be even more of a pain on it.

Heya, so I couldn’t send my former message because I linked to a Steam guide with POC which was understandably blocked. But yes, POC for retro COD is more than out there and a huge concern. Do not play them online

Huge thank you to Jabba for working this out so expediently

It was steam community link.

Not because it was a PoC.

You need to learn the basics before you can advance to potentially malicious material

sick lance
#

Spreading awereness is good, however I wish to ensure the safety and protection of our members.

static sierra
# sick lance It possibly could.

then in ur opinion how could i contribute to the community not just this like the whole world while making sure its not going for illegal purposes

sick lance
#

For all I know, you could be creating a tool that OSINTs members and releases their info

static sierra
#

thinking about it rn it would be easy to modify the code and automate scan over ur neighbor network with adapters or run a scan for pentration testing purposes

sick lance
sick lance

Yeah that’s completely an issue, plus we can already do vulnerability scanning with existing tools, so I’m not sure what your goal is

Defender is actually pretty darn effective for the basics but…

why would microsoft support an enum tool?

enumeration is not helping consumers

Defender of today, isn't the Defender of yesteryear.

idk i just got the idea and dropped here so i can make a group and discuss it

#

i mean its a lovely discussion im taking any constructive feedback

sick lance
#

We've discussed it, and told why it's a bad idea.

sinful moon

just freaking deploy OpenVAS (Greenbone Community Containers) in Linux via Docker and scan only the IPs you are approved to scan for vulnerability testing

wooden totem

I mean again if you want mass vulnerability scanning, use a vulnerability scanner. OpenVAS and Nessus both literally use nmap

"And what do these do?"

"I dunno, somebody on Discord told me to use 'em"

How to make university fun?

spare vapor
#

Feels like a bit of miscommunication I agree with all your statements but feel bad for those that didn't cheat.

sinful moon
#

You should never need to actually cheat to actually get ahead in these classes, that’s just a wrong way of thinking about things

#

self learning and search is not cheating if this is allowed in an exam, they need to use their own resources and knowledge to find what they need. That is not the same as asking people in Discord to do this step for you

spare vapor
#

you may as well be using chatgpt then, close to the same thing as just asking for the answers. (ofc thats also cheating and would be a no no)

sinful moon
#

Good luck using that effectively for infosec and without hallucinations

#

Doing prompt injection to cheat at a test is significantly more effort than just doing the actual work lol

spare vapor
sinful moon
#

I will say I don’t understand the pushback on this, but fair enough you do you. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to ask students to do their own work and independent study

#

I’d even say their own independent study before hand can and should be bolstered by multiple sources like actual reports, sites, google searches, chatgpt requests and more, but it’s up to the actual human to synthesize these answers into something consistent and not wrong lol
