[rapid merlin]

Thousands of movies and shows i totally own

YUP

😅

[sinful moon]

Oh no we literally have shelves and shelves of them

this be our server

[rapid merlin]

how flakey streaming services are, you need your own collection

[sinful moon]

Dell T430 with dual xenons and 256GB of RAM

this hosts our Plex, does video encoding and ripping and much more

[rapid merlin]

my dad likes a lot of old TV that's not really shown anymore, so it's fantastic for him

I set my dad up with 4 6tb set up on raid 10, connected to a pi as a nas and the m1 is the plex server, it's more than enough for him.

[rapid merlin]

take it that's for the whole family

[sinful moon]

lol just me and my SO but yeah, just a home server

lol one sec

[rapid merlin]

I was looking around the house the other day and I do think I need to take some of this stuff to the tip

[sinful moon]

also good stuff above yeah we just have an insane blu-ray library and this is our ripping to encoding to hosting pipeline, but storage ironically is over on the 46TB+ NAS

This does have a ton of storage but don't want all out eggs in one basket there

[rapid merlin]

getting vmware now update you guys when i setup my vmware and knock out a few classes

appreciate the tips

good luck @rapid merlin

[sinful moon]

No problem, VMware is lovely, especially for retro but yes for modern as well. Just other solutions are less ideal for retro which is something I'm obsessed about lol

VMware has just plain been around the longest which helps there

[rapid merlin]

I don't consume much media these days, with work and study, I don't find much time

don't think falling a sleep to archer and south park count lol

@sinful moon hey which should i download for vmware?

np i was just curious i got the rest from here

[plush jewel]

help please!

any idea how we set local port forwarding

i keep getting this error

bind [127.0.0.1]:80: Permission denied
channel_setup_fwd_listener_tcpip: cannot listen to port: 80
Could not request local forwarding.
ok]^H

[shut hawk]

sudo

[plush jewel]

don't have sudo permission!

[shut hawk]

use a higher port then

like 4444

[plush jewel]

i want to forward the port 80 to another port remotely (i'm executing this on the remote server, i want to get the remote 80 to my local machine)

[steel garnet]

Could anyone help me with a reverse engineering Challenge? i've been bugging at it for a few days now but can't seem to find the flag for the life of me. It's an old one from my national ctf competition.

Ivana has made another program that asks for a secret number - can you find out which number this program accepts? (There are versions of the program available for both Windows and Linux - both versions contain the same solution, it doesn't matter which one you solve.) The flag is in the format CTF2020[numbers]

I found the main function of the code in ghidra, but can't seem to get further than that.

[plush jewel]

i guess i figured it out , i used socat !!

socat is just PURE PAIN

its syntax is just headache

[loud marlin]

is that THM or some homework ?

[teal wharf]

port 80 is usually reserved i dont think u can use it nvm i see u solved the issue

[mossy bloom]

bro im newer in hacking im know linux -_-

i use arch btw

[teal wharf]

guud mi frind

and im know kali

[neon merlin]

can I set an alias for a .txt file in linux?

Instead of having to type out --wordlist omg/this/is/an/incredibly/long/file/address.rockyou.txt

[quartz fog]

cp omg/this/is/an/incredibly/long/file/address.rockyou.txt ~

Also maybe DERP=/path/to/file

[blazing granite]

When was the first time you use Linux? I don't use arch btw

[quartz fog]

$(DERP)

[mossy bloom]

I'm very familiar with Linux

[mossy bloom]

before discovering the hackin world I used it on my desktop

[blazing granite]

still no an answer 🙂

[ocean vale]

Alright write me a bash script that installs arch linux

[mossy bloom]

script for install arch???

[ocean vale]

yes

[mossy bloom]

break the arch goal of building your system yourself

bruh arch have a archinstall

[quartz fog]

# docker run \
          --env PS1="ADC(\#)[\d \T:\w]\\$ " \
          --interactive \
          --privileged \
          --rm \
          --tty \
          --volume "/tmp/target:/target" \
          "index.docker.io/library/archlinux:latest" /bin/sh

[mossy bloom]

I didn't understand very well, I don't speak English fluently

[rapid merlin]

whoever was helping me earlier thank you

got my vm setup and im already started the first intro classes

appreciate it

[blazing granite]

how long have been using linux?

[mossy bloom]

3 years

[mossy bloom]

I have a very bad PC, I discovered Linux trying to get the most out of my PC

[blazing granite]

not that long 🙂

[crude stump]

🤷‍♂️

[blazing granite]

Yes, I like Linux

[crude stump]

Glad you got helped tho

[mossy bloom]

I'm starting out in hacking, is it better to try to learn a language or learn it through tryhackme?

[teal wharf]

if u are talking about "Programming language" Tryhackme is not for learning a programming language tho it may give u some into basic stuff about the P . Lang. you'll need in cybersec

[neon merlin]

mfw having to add aliases to .bashrc for every john tool

[loud marlin]

you don't

[neon merlin]

I installed from github, not package manager so if I type a tool name it just says "not found" without setting an alias

[mossy bloom]

I know, I want to know if it's better to focus on learning a programming language or focus on tryhackme

[loud marlin]

if john is installed outside $PATH variable, then just need to add location into $PATH

what is output in terminal if you type locate john or whereis john

[neon merlin]

I went through that last night in this discord non of the commands worked, commands on google didn't work either. The only solution I found was a guide saying to use alias

locate gives a wall of files and whereis says /etc/john

[teal wharf]

u can do both ?

[mossy bloom]

I think so

[loud marlin]

unsted in terminal try run john /etc/john and then rest of command

just it is weird to work like that

[neon merlin]

that isn't even where john is so I don't know why it's saying that

My john tools are located in /home/user/src/john/run

[loud marlin]

do you have that location in $PATH variable?

[neon merlin]

export PATH="/home/user/Pentest/john:$PATH" is at the end of .bashrc but it doesn't work

It only started working when I started adding alias for each tool

[loud marlin]

w8. where john is installed? in that pentest or in /home/user/src/john/run this one ?

or instrall john normal way, not git lol

[neon merlin]

It was in the pentest folder when I downloaded it the first time.

[crude stump]

instead of john the ripper, it should be john the hacker

[neon merlin]

Then I found a guide that gave you all the commands and set it up under src

[neon merlin]

Tried that, whenever I tried to use it it would say "no hashes loaded"

I only got the git version to work

I went through that a few days ago with another user who couldn't get there's working either until they messed with the config file

So it seems the package manager version of john has config issues

[loud marlin]

"No password hashes loaded" and/or "No password hashes loaded this error ?

[neon merlin]

"No password hashes loaded" (See FAQ)

But the FAQ has no info on how to actually solve it

It just talks about unshadowing linux passwords

[loud marlin]

and why do not try hashcat, not john

[neon merlin]

cause the room is about john

[loud marlin]

oh in that case ok

and do you specify --format in case of not git john?

[neon merlin]

before I didn't because it's supposed to autodetect

[loud marlin]

that yea. just if john can't detect hash type he will not load hash and so

Ok I figured out not having to point to rockyou.txt every time I want to use it. Add rockyou="/a/very/long/address/SecLists-master/Passwords/Leaked-Databases/rockyou.txt" ro .bashrc and then you can invoke it in commands by typing like --wordlist=$rockyou

[loud marlin]

that make sense. just it does not make sense why is doing that

[worthy acorn]

is this put into py? then use the new command in CLI ?

thank you

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @fervent meteor (current: #59 - 133)

[loud marlin]

so the normal way --wordlist=/path/to/wordlist.txt is not working ?

then it make sense to store in variable

Good morning

[neon merlin]

You ever feel like your ISP just goes "that's enough internet for you for today" and hits a big button that says "slow down targets internet?"

[inner pine]

I am setting up a USB flash drive with useful field sec tools. What should I include?

[neon merlin]

I'll be able to torrent at 20-30mb/s sometimes but can't even get 100kb/s at others.

Think they just hit the button. I got one 1.5GB file at 30mb/s but the next one is going only 250kb/s

Damn how do 3 different calculators come up with 3 different answers for 118613842 % 9091

Google came up with 3565, Chatgpt came up with 4999 and the linux calculator app came up with 1304.734572654

Hi, I have a problem. So, I just started using Try Hack Me today and I do the first task(The bank). I already put the amount balance but it says I have the wrong answer. Anyone can help me?

[rapid merlin]

Return to previous page you will find answer

[brave glade]

hi guys, quick question, has VMware always been this much of a clusterf**k to download? I know I haven't setup one for quite long while, so dont know if anything happens to it. But damn it's annoying as hell

[tepid furnace]

vm wasnt always this bad

broadcom sucks

virtualbox ontop

[brave glade]

yeah exactly

been using this for almost 7 years, suddenly users need to register for a damn Broadcom account just for an install

[tepid furnace]

id look at virtualbox imo :p

but I only used vmware for a few months

[brave glade]

I used vbox back then, got multiple CPU level issues that I migrated to vmware

dont know how it is now

might even try it again

[warm grotto]

When I used it as a teenager, it was just simple download, install, run for the most part. What'd they do to it? It's been a hot minute since then.

[brave glade]

its just Broadcom doing Broadcom things

[warm grotto]

Fair enough. I'm guessing most use VMware or VirtualBox?

[brave glade]

not like I know any other alternatives

these 2 are the only ones i know since I first touched Linux

[warm grotto]

Touched linux? You on linux or windows?

[brave glade]

I mean since I was first introduced to Linux

im on Windows most of the time

[warm grotto]

Ah, okay. I'm a Linux Penguin so I use more native stuff to it. I think windows has it's Hyper-V that people can use, though, doesn't it?

[brave glade]

I use Ubuntu for daily back then in my early networking days

even install multiple OSs in one device

now I no longer need Linux as much, so a VM is enough

and I havent touch THM for months, so now Im getting back at it, setting up new hacking VM

was in the mood for some hacking marathon until broadcom ruined the mood

[warm grotto]

I wanted to try something different during pandemic so I opted to go full Linux and haven't really looked back since. I did GPU passthrough for a VM and windows for a couple months 'cause I wanted to play some of the games that were wonky trying to play on Linux, but now it's gotten pretty good that I don't have a reason to touch it anymore.

[eternal timber]

Hello

[warm grotto]

G'day.

[trail quest]

Hey how’s it going everyone?

That’s good haha

[brave glade]

get verified first

[rapid merlin]

do you like written notes

or computer notes

need to know if i will regret writing my notes on google docs 💀

okay bet yea i'm doing computer notes for rn since its just basic stuff atm

[brave glade]

why not using note app?

[rapid merlin]

yup thats what im doing

for example

Fix: Snitch to your boss. Policy violation can be an example: if the user starts uploading confidential company data to an online storage service

[pliant cairn]

Anyone can help me?

where is the VM ?

[elder peak]

https://tenor.com/view/discord-wholesomebunch-mack-skap-gif-19352681

[wraith fjord]

is it on cloud (THM) or is it your local?

Additionally, have you made sure the ssh services are running ?

[inner pine]

Some rooms don't allow you to SSH onto THM VM

[rapid merlin]

which european kept writing organisation instead of organization

😭

[inner pine]

Organisation is the correct spelling 😉

I just noticed something here.... LOL

If you know you know

yes. rust is made by one of THM user here

WOW, Its incredible tool...

what did this guy say?

ohhh waitt, dw

[jagged otter]

hello

everyone asleep?

[finite basalt]

nahh I'm alive, how're you

Bout to head out to shops

[jagged otter]

taking a break from school work

[finite basalt]

fair enough man, I'm planning on fixing my sleep pattern today

[jagged otter]

good luck. mine just falls back

[finite basalt]

been awake since lunchtime yesterday but have been ill with a chest infection so only got up at 4pm

so plan is to go to bed tonight at 10pm roughly

[jagged otter]

i think i'd wait till after the infection is gone

[finite basalt]

nah, no point to be honest, got things to do and it's well out at the moment

I've been going to bed at 6/7 in the morning

[jagged otter]

yeah, i know the feeling. i been going to bed at 9am

[finite basalt]

yeah man, I'm the one in the office who comes in on no sleep

recently went part time as well so it's only got worse haha

[jagged otter]

that sucks

[finite basalt]

I ran a freshers fair stand on no sleep and did alright tbh

I did have a gram of caffeine roughly that day but that was more so I was physically capable of socialising, I fell asleep about an hour after my last redbull

[jagged otter]

dang

[finite basalt]

I don't recommend having that much but I'm not particularly sensitive to caffeine, didn't have jitters or anything

[jagged otter]

i can't do caffeine

[finite basalt]

Although I didn't have caffeine the next day except for an espresso just in case my heart decided to give out haha

[jagged otter]

i drank a code red mountain dew and stayed up for 2 days

[finite basalt]

It relaxes me more than anything, I actually had a period of time where I drank it for stress relief while working at my old job

That was quite bad though because I was getting to the end of the day and finishing 4/5 cans of redbull and forgetting to drink water. I have never experienced so much pain as my kidneys punishing me for dehydration

[jagged otter]

wow

[finite basalt]

luckily after puking a couple times and drinking significant amounts of water and sleeping for a day I was right as rain

[jagged otter]

well it does say redbull gives you wings

[finite basalt]

Yeah, I actually prefer coffee, if I want caffeine I have a 350mg/170ml coffee

Got 3 times as much caffeine with less additional chemicals etc.

I recently got a pressure valve as well for my aeropress so need to try that soon

[jagged otter]

true

[finite basalt]

anyway imma head to the shops

but have a lovely day man 😄

[jagged otter]

lol you too

Hey James 👋

[tulip heath]

Morning everyone

support team ain't available on weekends ?

[loud marlin]

some might.

[tulip heath]

There is a payment issue while purchasing THM subscription. I've tried 3 times and it didn't work.

[loud marlin]

oh. can try other card or so ?

[tulip heath]

2 different cards

[loud marlin]

same bank or different ones?

[tulip heath]

Different

[loud marlin]

you sure there is enough $ on cards ?

[tulip heath]

Yes

[loud marlin]

then might be up to bank... some might answer here, if not send email

[tulip heath]

I've sent emails to bigfawn

[loud marlin]

then when it comes them some will respond

[arctic cradle]

I believe this is a bug or sort of, another user complained and Scrubz suggested to email the support

(if not mistaken about the support part)

[tulip heath]

Yes

I think the support team isn't available on weekends

[arctic cradle]

well, it's almost Monday, right 😄

you'll probably get a reply tomorrow

[tulip heath]

Ok

I'll wait 😄

[arctic cradle]

yeah, sadly when it comes to these type of problems, only the support can help you out, our hands are cuffed

[tulip heath]

No problem

[inner pine]

I take caffeine tablets, I find them much easier to regulate my intake more accourately

[rapid merlin]

I can’t drink coffee like that

I usually drink decaffeinated tea

[half girder]

does someone know what a hash file with hash + salt has to look like for hashcat?

[loud marlin]

can you post hash that

is that thm room that you also link

[half girder]

https://tryhackme.com/r/room/easyctf

the exploit to be used is outdated, so i fixed it a bit as far as i could to get a result, but the cracking feature doesnt work anymore, therefore i want to use hashcat for

[loud marlin]

hash as you linked need to change in order to hashcat can use it

[half girder]

so hash:salt or something like that?

thanks, ill try

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @loud marlin (current: #24 - 350)

[chilly veldt]

otherwise hashcats help function also tells you

[half girder]

more than likely, but the reference is like getting a brick thrown in the face 😉 a way too much information

[chilly veldt]

but it's best to do your own research before asking for help 😉

[inner pine]

That room looks like fun, I am going to try it now

[real spruce]

Hi , did anyone rooted the new backtrack room , i have a question

[half girder]

agreed 😉 and solved

[half girder]

you gotta add some () on the print functions to make the exploit work

[shell nova]

Should be a tool to convert py 2 to py3

[hearty stream]

yo

do i need to learn HTML, CSS, Javascript first to become ethical hacker?

[half girder]

no, but it doesnt hurt to know a bit about

[finite rock]

You can ask your question in this channel tho #1294359222233862276

[hearty stream]

so should i learn?

cause i already started learning HTML

[real spruce]

Thanks alot man

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @finite rock (current: #349 - 15)

[finite rock]

You can but it isn’t a must, you will learn it anyway when you are gonna go hack the machines

[hearty stream]

you know at first i learned ethical hacking from NetworkChuck but i think i can baerly remember something now because it was months ago now i started learning Web developing but i heard you do not even get paid good and you need to work 8 hours

[finite rock]

it is your decision what you want to be, do what you enjoy most

[rapid merlin]

Does anyone know of any websites where you can put in what you want on a pc and it tells you what parts to get 👀

[half girder]

best way is to go through the paths on thm, starting with pre security, there you learn what you need

[hearty stream]

i want to make money

[finite rock]

Then make money

[hearty stream]

i cant

im broke

[arctic cradle]

being broke doesn't stop you from making money

[hearty stream]

i work at warehouse im 16

[finite rock]

Don’t be broke

[arctic cradle]

more like it motivates you to make money even more

[hearty stream]

so should i learn hacking and from that make money?

[finite rock]

Your decision

[arctic cradle]

you're still young, you're not even an adult yet, why do you care so much about making money when you should be focusing on your school grades?

[hearty stream]

because i dont want to work for the rest of my life

i want financial freedom

[hard pine]

blud thinks life is like movies

[hearty stream]

that will not fulfill me

[arctic cradle]

right, here's my plan:

learn pen testing, the offsec one of course that costs like 5K or so
grind hard until you have enough experience to find bug bounty rewarding you 500k USD
invest them into stock market
enjoy financial freedom in 10-20 years

[hearty stream]

thats not the life i want

[half girder]

im too old for that kind of discussion 🫣 later

[arctic cradle]

sorry to break it to ya but life's hard and if you think that getting financial freedom at 16 happens with the snap of a finger, sorry mate, doesn't work like that

[arctic cradle]

actually same

[naive violet]

PCPartPicker has builds to a budget if it's for gaming

[hearty stream]

yeah i know

[frail locust]

At this point, I had to explore around THM more and I see wayyyyyy more resources to learn other tools to get me started. You're getting money's worth out of it.

Had to revisit on why I went in the first place. Doing a career changer journey

[rapid merlin]

If you’re here strictly because you want financial freedom, you’re at the wrong place

[rapid merlin]

It’s not for gaming, I won’t go back to gaming

I want something for designing systems, Ai eg

Doing projects

[rapid merlin]

What performance are you looking for?

Designing systems? Idk wym that’s too broad

[naive violet]

That's a bit more specialist

Well, very specialist. I don't know of any sites like that, if I were speccing a system for it I'd be reading a lot of Puget Systems documentation

[rapid merlin]

Okay thank you

haha I misinterpreted the question "How many services are running under port 1000?"

[cloud quiver]

exclude -p 1000 . Try with nmap -sC -sV 10.10.135.251

-p 1000 tells the command to scan ONLY port 1000

Yeah got it now, I thought question was asking about port 1000 only

Guys I have a question, does anyone know of a course or yr compilation of a full computer science degree? Basically im pursuing one and I don't need to attend lectures I just have to give exams irl. The university is about 6/7 hours by car from my home and they don't give zoom lectures. If I could find a course like that I would save on so much money and time and headache because I could study at home with chatgpt and watch the same arguments at home

Working in terminal and editing code are becoming addictive, what's going on with me

[arctic cradle]

a year ago I thought.. I couldn't see myself using terminal all the time and edit code in it, let alone enjoy it, though after a few months at THM, that completely changed

I also can't comprehend it still but I just enjoy the terminal more than clicking folders

[void zodiac]

Actually you start seeing the terminal as a very smart and fast tool, with smart command syntax

And it becomes much faster and easier to work with than to use a user interface

[arctic cradle]

yeah

I actually had trouble using Brim to analyse a pcap file whereas I was faster using the terminal and zeek-cut commands

[polar spoke]

if you want some help with this let me know

[chilly veldt]

I actually have a question regarding hashcat
is yescrypt planned on being added? 😄

[polar spoke]

eventually

it's one of those algorithms that doesnt really accelerate well on GPU, which is kinda the point of it

so getting it running in a way that's worth adding is... kinda painful

[chilly veldt]

understandable, we where wondering about it yesterday due to some challenge we where sitting with

[shell nova]

John doesn't have it?

[chilly veldt]

nope, john doesn't either

actually, john has it, on systems that support yescrypt

[brittle lynx]

Hey guys if I get an ISACA exam passed without experience do I get anything at all ?

Or it is just for once I get experience I can claim the cert ?

[pliant cairn]

Yescrypt better yes

[brittle lynx]

what?

[pliant cairn]

What?

[karmic crypt]

Hey there, hope you are having a great weekend.
I'm a day trader looking to automate my own strategy. I have zero knowledge of coding, but through my research, I found that purchasing historical data and importing it into Python would be ideal for writing a script to make my backtesting more effective.

So, my question is: does anyone here have experience with this type of coding? If so, could you point me in the right direction to get started? I know this will be a marathon before I reach my goal, but I don't want to waste more time relying on someone else. Thanks!

[quartz fog]

I wrote something that scrapes for stock ticker data and then exports it to an SQLite3 database and does some calculations for some columns...

[willow shuttle]

Hello guys, I’m new here.
I’m a computer science student.

I would like to ask if there is a moderator here.
I have a research survey I need to fill up.
I would like to know if it’s allowed.

[quartz fog]

I'd be willing to sell the script for a modest fee.

[polar spoke]

Would I be allowed to dm you about it

[polar spoke]

Yeah sure

[rapid merlin]

Thank you

[cosmic pendant]

Argon everywhere then! 😄

[polar spoke]

that's also difficult to recommend for me

for some similar reasons as for yescrypt

bcrypt is strong but importantly, it's also dead simple and well supported

very difficult to mess up a bcrypt deployment

yescrypt and especially argon2 are quite a bit more complex to understand and thus deploy properly, even leading to instances where they end up being weaker than a bcrypt implementation they were meant to replace

i believe openwall even says this on their yescrypt page

Technically, yescrypt is the most scalable password hashing scheme so far, providing near-optimal security from offline password cracking across the whole range from kilobytes to terabytes and beyond. However, the price for this is complexity, and we recognize that complexity is a major drawback of any software. Thus, at this time we focus on large-scale deployments, where the added complexity is relatively small compared to the total complexity of the authentication service setup. For smaller deployments, bcrypt with its simplicity and existing library support is a reasonable short-term choice (although we made progress towards more efficient FPGA attacks on bcrypt under a separate project). We might introduce a cut-down yescrypt-lite later or/and yescrypt might become part of more standard or popular libraries (and it is already in libxcrypt), making it more suitable for smaller deployments as well. 

from: https://www.openwall.com/yescrypt/

this is also the same advice i gave to OWASP a while back, bcrypt wherever you can unless you really know what you are doing

though my suggestion was later overruled in favor of Argon2 regardless

[karmic crypt]

Unfortunately I am totally beginner. I couldn’t use it properly. I just need someone who can point me in direction first. Sorry.

[quartz fog]

I used python. These are the imports I used

import sqlite3
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from selenium import webdriver
import random
import argparse

I also used proxies, but you probably don't need to do that 😛

[karmic crypt]

Thank you for your answer. Could you recommend any resources where should I start as a beginner?🙈

Hi everyone

[simple valve]

Hello

[karmic crypt]

hi

[rough wedge]

Heyy.

[fresh shale]

Hi guys, I am new beginner in hacking... I just completed some 4 free basic modules in THM, what is best fast and free (or one month subscription) strategy to finish junior pentest, web fundamentals , red teaming , offensive pentesting and comptia pentest+...

[simple valve]

It depends on your fundamentals but I doubt its doable to finish all those paths in a month

[fresh shale]

Is it possible to complete upto red teaming? Leaving offensive pentesting and comptia pentest+ ...

[simple valve]

I still doubt it unless you’re willing to learn maybe 8-10 hrs/day and can still effectively retain information and be able to build your methodology

There are always free resources to learn. pwn college, Portswigger Academy, and cryptohack are just some off the top of my head.

[south egret]

PEH by tcm sec is a pretty good resource for building ur methodology imo, they've uploaded the course on youtube

[fresh shale]

I am ready to give more than 10 hours a day... Just that maybe Linux command little hinder my progress maybe ...

[fresh shale]

Thanks for these academic mentions .. I didn't knew it...👍 is there no emoji reaction for comments?

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @simple valve (current: #20 - 415)

[simple valve]

Yeah, that’s something you learn as you go tbh

Free resources will always be there, just need to sift through all the BS

[fresh shale]

Thanks for mentioning, I will check it...👍

[oblique furnace]

just finished jr. pentester path

[rapid merlin]

Anyone of you guys in red teaming?

[slow dragon]

the interview/tech support by THM, are those results out yet ?

[oblique furnace]

i did introduction to cybersecurity and jr. pentester

any other paths/rooms before i go out bug hunting?

note that i am mostly interested in web applications since the only use id get for os pentesting is for my own company (for which i have 2 servers which ive already had some friends who know more then i do pentest for me)

[simple valve]

What’s your question

[simple valve]

The Web Fundamentals path is good but its all about methodology and knowing your tools with bug bounty

[oblique furnace]

okay

[south egret]

people i know who do bugbounty told me theyve just grinded portswigger labs and just started looking for bugs in the wild. its a pretty difficult field to get into because of the competition, not to mention pros and their automation tools.

[strong gull]

i suggest checking educational websites, they tended to be misconfigured(keep in mind, i am not encouraging to do something unauthorized )

There's no game hacking with the exception of buffer overflow in the AoC 2023.

Yes it is good but little boring to learn and grasp that much... I may not retain what he is actually teaching... That is why I liked THM and HTB they are practical and interactive.

I will watch it probably after nmap, metasploit like other tools .. having some knowledge of it...

Hello!

Who have a idea for a osint tool ?

[sick lance]

Depends, what are you Osinting?

[rare hamlet]

Nothing totally. It's just for my github.

[sick lance]

eh, it would be hard to suggest as I wouldn't give you a geolocator as in publc domain info.

[rare hamlet]

a Whois?

[rapid merlin]

I always find OSINT a strange field, not that I don't believe that it's not part of security but it's not a technical skill. I'm not knocking it, but asking technical ppl to do it to me seems odd

[sick lance]

Whois by DomainTools

Whois by Namecheap

[rare hamlet]

Ok!

Thanks you really...

[sick lance]

The best whois of all time

[rapid merlin]

sorry for my hate on OSINT lol

[fresh shale]

Can anyone please give me any free course name like HTM and THM free videos on Junior Penetration whether on YouTube or nay other ... Has to be interactive like THM and HTM...

[sick lance]

Osint can be valuable, not just as a security thing.

But I've done Osint on a hiring manager to find out as much information as I can, and use that to my advantage.

[eager marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/handsomeman-gif-3969600433481058369

[sick lance]

You can't have an interactive lab on YouTube...

My advice is to just get a sub on THM, or use the free content, 60% of it is free.

[fresh shale]

Is google cyber professional certification more than enough for junior penetration...

[eager marsh]

No…..

Don’t take that piece of crap

[sick lance]

Ideally you'd want something more,

Like OSCP, or if you're in India, CeH, but I heard that's being phased out.

[eager marsh]

Stop trusting the Google certs they’re worthless

[mossy river]

Why is it bad?

[eager marsh]

They won’t get you a job lmao

[sick lance]

Do you have the cert?

[fresh shale]

I may use personal VMware virtual machine for executing practical...

[sick lance]

Yeah, but how would you connect to a lab, on a VoD?

[mossy river]

Any cert is a good cert, free or not.
It shows employers that you are active in the field and always learning.

[rapid merlin]

I just field it strange that security gets merges with so many fields. OSINT is important, but asking me as someone learning machines to learn to be super spy is crazy

[mossy river]

OSCP Alone won't get you a job

[eager marsh]

You might as well have taken the Security+

[sick lance]

Don't have to be a superspy, OSINT comes in handy for missing people reports with Teacelabs, for example

[fresh shale]

I heard ceh is more of theoretical than practical... Can I use THM videos and THM machine for executing codes?

Still ceh is more demanded for hiring in India .. but I just want to learn for knowledge or skill rather for job...

[sick lance]

You can only use the THM machines for THM purposes.

[eager marsh]

Easy, you slam your face into the monitor and get into the lab that way. SMH

[rapid merlin]

the subscription pays for it's self, worth it

[sick lance]

That depends on the user.

[fresh shale]

Yes I know... Does it give enough exposure to get knowledge for junior pentest

[sick lance]

It can give you knowledge and skill, but it would be hard to get a position with just THM.

It won't be impossible, but it won't be easy.

[rapid merlin]

it works out as £11 a month, that's so little. It's well worth it

[sick lance]

It's good for new users too, THM might not suit their style of learning.

[rapid merlin]

If you do annual it's even cheaper

[sick lance]

If you're a student it's even cheaper.

[rapid merlin]

^

[fresh shale]

Yes spending 14$ is not much just that time is constraint so before going for that I need to cover all free knowledge to make use of that month ..

[eager marsh]

Yes, I crap on THMs difficulty a lot but the Pentest stuff that teaches you how to do it is actually top shelf

[sick lance]

Take the difficulty with a pinch of salt

What is hard for you, could be easy to somebody else.

[south egret]

https://tryhackme.com/r/resources/blog/free_path

free rooms to help u to get started

[rapid merlin]

I use a lot of HTB academy stuff which is great, but THM I like the specific room that drill down on a CVE or a topic

[fresh shale]

I already done some of free stough... It won't give access to second chapters... Linux and networking and python or bash script free stough can be done in HTB but that is not sufficient to get hands on the junior pentest if time is constraint means for one month...

[sick lance]

30 days is 30 days.

What you choose to do with it is up to you really.

[fresh shale]

No I checked and tried it... Just that you somehow need atleast one month subscription to complete Junior pentest , that to if you want to spend more than 12 hours daily...

[sick lance]

On the contrary, their post made it seem like it's too short with the sheer vast amount of topics...

See.

My suggestion is to not speed run anything, and take notes, the more the better.

[fresh shale]

I am just figuring out is Junior pentest can be complete in one month so that is why I am asking for expert.. is it possible,?

[sick lance]

You'll also want to avoid burn out.

[fresh shale]

Yes I always takes screenshot and make notes on notepad ..

[sick lance]

Yes, it can.

[sick lance]

Record gifs, videos.

Again, their post is making it seeming like they want to learn as fast as they can.

[fresh shale]

Yes THM and HTM it won't burnout as I am very active for 2 days . Don't know future burnouts..

[sick lance]

Jr Pentest can be completed in 3 weeks if you spend 10 hours per week.

Have you logged in?

[fresh shale]

Yeah just checked it . 7 hours per week takes exact one month... 👍

[sick lance]

Some things you'd already know and will take you slightly less time, there is one challenge in that path that I think may stick you.

@pallid lotus

Gib ViP ticket.

[fresh shale]

What is challeng?

[naive violet]

The data doesn't come from the public
It comes from dedicated volunteers

[sick lance]

It's an xss.

It seems to stick members.

[fresh shale]

But they need some minimum amount of money to run organization... If you are student you may claim the subscription for even less maybe 10$ don't know

[fresh shale]

😅😅 already feeling it ..

[pallid lotus]

I'm not even a student anymore, let alone committee 😆

[sick lance]

Not quite.

[pallid lotus]

Are you suggesting he has a rootkit sitting on all the machines, so despite resets it's instant? As soon as we started it was like 0.01 seconds and he had king

[sick lance]

That's the best case to enquire about it.

[chrome vale]

Can't isntall chkrootkit or anything on the machine -- it's like fishing for a needle in the haystack rather than playing KOTH

[sick lance]

It's boring if you ask me.

[pallid prairie]

I reported this already 1.5 months back. But the thm team is busy it seems.

[chrome vale]

If that's the case, I'm not sure I wanna give them my premium user $$ 😦

[pallid prairie]

Everyday he go in games, be a king and not let others explore at all.

[rapid merlin]

Someone’s using a rootkit on me

[chrome vale]

MissStealth, is it Ch1?

[tired moth]

You know why I’m dying my hair because I’m turning into a wizard and like to pretend I’m still young.

[rapid merlin]

Purple was my favourite colour for years and now it’s green

[sick lance]

Probably not a good idea to try and start drama with claims that you're getting DMS without permission.

[rapid merlin]

Especially when I wouldn’t dm you 😉

Kekeke

Too busy dancing round my kitchen

[pallid prairie]

Then go green. Be environment friendly.👍

[rapid merlin]

Match all my plants

[pallid prairie]

With your green hair you can camouflage yourself in the forest as well.

[rapid merlin]

I wish it were possible 😅

I would just live there

[devout palm]

I'd like to be a plant

[pallid prairie]

I would love to live in a tree house as well.

[devout palm]

And not worry about life

[half girder]

i dont know whether it helps, but in the end we will be all compost and become a plant 😉

[pallid prairie]

With nature, it would be calm and compose place.

[devout palm]

Doesn't matter as i am going through things

But yeah, happy to be a part of the nature

[half girder]

ah well, shit always happens, but there will be also brighter days 🤷‍♂️

[devout palm]

I hate the fact that everything is temporary

Worrying about what will happen next in bright days would ruin yk

[half girder]

oh im always positive about things, as long as there is a roof over your head and a meal on your plate, things are good

[devout palm]

That's good

I can't do it

[sick lance]

Rootkits are allowed.

[sand trench]

shadows favourite colour is still blood red

that dark redish color of blood

so nice

[pallid prairie]

Oh we have a vampire here.😁

[sand trench]

definitely not the first time people call shadow vampire

188 cm tall
long dirty blonde hair
very very pale skin
love the colour of blood

[opal crow]

Oh to be pretty and mysterious

[pallid prairie]

[opal crow]

I look like a taliban

[rapid merlin]

Show us

[opal crow]

Hell no

[sand trench]

meep no

[pallid prairie]

Then the cheese CTF should be Red blood CTF.😁

[sand trench]

you know shadow could do a vampire themed ctf

but it would be hard to get it to release this month

[sick lance]

Don't let shadow fool you, she's as old as her streak is on THM

[opal crow]

Shadow is a female?

[sand trench]

the only thing that is incorrect is calling shadow a vampire... shadow is older then vampires

[opal crow]

I thought he was a dude larping as a girl

[sick lance]

Her pronouns are right there?

[opal crow]

Ye I thought he was larping as a girl

She

[blazing granite]

Didn't you get that from the she/her on her username? 😂

[rapid merlin]

I have many

[pallid prairie]

Are you trying to say she is from the Jurassic period.

[sick lance]

Not at all...

She's older

[blazing granite]

ouch!!

[pallid prairie]

Oh the first person born after big bang.

[rapid merlin]

I love dinosaurs

[rapid merlin]

Reminds me of that movie “Lucy” good film

[devout palm]

What kind?

[rapid merlin]

I’ve got alcocasias, calocasias, bananas, caladiums and more

[devout palm]

Bananas? Damn

[sand trench]

older then the shoggoths that is for certain

[rapid merlin]

Yeah tiger banana and ice cream bananas

[devout palm]

(That's the only thing i know from what you said)

[rapid merlin]

Oh yeah the banana plants

They’re cool

[devout palm]

Yea

You have cactus?

[pallid prairie]

Someone should connect you with the Jurassic park franchise to be casted as Dinosaur.

[rapid merlin]

Nah I don’t, my newest plant was a carnivorous plant

[rapid merlin]

Nice I will end up being a very smol dinosaur

[jagged otter]

needed a break

how's everyone?

[pallid prairie]

This is a good one.

[pallid prairie]

Hoping, I will not get haunted by shoggoths tonight.😁

[mystic hedge]

hello

[opal crow]

Guys I have a question

[sand trench]

why would they??? they tend to be busy with work :P

[pallid prairie]

Shoot

[mystic hedge]

can someone recommend me a book or a course / website on which i can gain skills and play king of the hill?

[jagged otter]

i tried to watch lotr. couldn't do it. hats off to those who did

[opal crow]

Basically I enrolled in university and I'm attending all lectures n stuff
I paid 80 euro per semester for this uni and I won the green card for the us so skipping lectures won't be a huge cost in terms of money or networking (I'm in Germany).
I have 4 exams for this semester which are IT systems, basic cs, basic programming and analysis 1.
I'm thinking of going back to my home country which is like 6/7 hours by car from the uni, study on my own and come to the uni only to take exams, coming to lectures isnt mandatory and I'd have them recorded for most subjects besides cs basics.
Because I've been studying cybersecurity solo for about 6/7 months now and the way I learned how to learn is to dig deeeeep in every sentence every concept every word that I don't understand. And its working great. And now I'm at uni where the professor talks and I can't ask a billion questions like I ask chatgpt so the end result of me not asking all the questions I need is that I don't understand the lesson and then I have to go home and learn by myself as if I didn't go to lecture
I just feel like it's unnecessary to attend lectures idk, do you think this would make sense or should I stay here?

[jagged otter]

wow

[opal crow]

Bang bang

[pallid prairie]

Scaring people with numerous ports.😂

[rapid merlin]

Hold up, let me get my glasses for that essay

[mystic hedge]

can anyone help?

[rapid merlin]

I said it as you wrote it 😂

[pallid prairie]

Go through THM roadmaps, that would help.

[jagged otter]

Do what's good for you.

[opal crow]

Did u go to college?

[jagged otter]

i'm in college now

[naive violet]

ChatGPT isn't a lecturer.
It has a nasty habit of being a yes-man and being subtly wrong.
It's not capable of reasoning.

[opal crow]

Everyone is telling me not to do it because it's university is an opportunity blah blah but idk i feel like I'd learn better self studying if uni keeps being like this. It's as if they make it very easy for students to not come to lectures while not providing much to students who go

[rapid merlin]

A lot of cyber is doing study everywhere and anywhere and it still feels confusing lmao

[jagged otter]

you're going to have to rely on yourself to workout problems and learn as you go.

just don't get stuck in the parties and other things

[naive violet]

And yes, the lecture alone is not meant to give you everything.
You need to be supporting it with self study on the material they've told you to read.
This isn't school any more. You need to work independently as well.

[rapid merlin]

You need a little bit of everything

[opal crow]

Basically my resources to study are recorded lectures, slides (which are used in the recorded lectures) and exercises created by professors. I wouldn't only be relying on chatgpt, it would be mostly to supplement what I don't understand in the slides and exercises like I've been doing for cybersecurity

[high mulch]

use uni to farm that degree

[rapid merlin]

And plus cyber is never ending learning too. It just never stops

[naive violet]

You said earlier they don't offer zoom etc lectures.
Are the recorded lectures the same content?

[jagged otter]

chatgpt is just vomiting the stuff it has learned back at you.

[sand trench]

chatgpts code does not understand the meaning of words last shadow heard

but yeah

[jagged otter]

if it makes you want to bang your head against the wall, then you're on the right track

[sand trench]

for computer science you can get a decent bit of info from harvards cs50

^ which is on youtube

[opal crow]

Basically in the 4 subjects that I'm attending, for the first semester only two professors offer zoom lectures and they record them and upload them to the website. These subjects are IT systems and programming basics, programming basics is useless for everyone, no one even goes to the lectures or watches the recorded ones

[sand trench]

if you use chatgpt for the programming course shadow is currently taking in uni you get sent out and asked to return next time the course goes around

[jagged otter]

find out what you want to do and learn it

[naive violet]

I have to hard disagree there.
The more you go into specialist topics (or "delve" as the spicy markov chain likes to say) the more subtly wrong it'll get.
You need to know what's correct in order to spot it making the mistakes.

[opal crow]

For analysis 1 I would need a private teacher even if I stay irl in uni so not very useful either

[pallid prairie]

Self learning is the best learning which I believe.
And no one can teach you everything you must have to learn alot of things by yourself.
But a guidance and a helping community is better where you can share not only knowledge but your life lessons and learn the same from others.
So by saying not going to college and learning using some AI model is not a good option at all.
Use it as friend, but not as a philosopher and guide.

[opal crow]

The only subject that kinda lets me by myself is cs basics but there's tons of online resources for that and chatgpt knows the basic theory of that course and can create exercises for me

[naive violet]

If only that were true

[jagged otter]

sounds like it's online

[half girder]

no worries, in 2nd to 3rd semester, 80% are gone failing. then its kinda private lessons

[naive violet]

Because it's absolutely not, as someone with niche and specialist skills and interests

[rapid merlin]

I use chat gpt all the time

[clear jackal]

Glue belongs on pizza

[pallid prairie]

What about pineapple?

[naive violet]

It's a spicy Markov chain.
It can't reason. It can't fact check.
It's purely what words are most likely.

[sand trench]

YES with Banana

[rapid merlin]

No

[opal crow]

Mmmm I'm not really looking for guidance from chatgpt nor my classmates tbh lol. I just want to pass the exams

[naive violet]

The training data can be great, but it's still a GPT. Still works the same

[sand trench]

Banana
Chicken
Curry powder
Peanuts
Pineapple
on a pizza

[clear jackal]

This is a direct example of why you can't rely on GPT or any other LLM without fact checking yourself

[opal crow]

Wdym?

[naive violet]

No, that's literally why hallucinations happen

[high mulch]

stay on the Uni path, so you can take that degree.
You're already doing the extra step which is studying by yourself.

[naive violet]

You're fundamentally mixing classes of AI/ML

[finite crystal]

sup

[naive violet]

You're assuming it reasons

It doesn't

[jagged otter]

i just need that piece of paper

[naive violet]

It can't

[jagged otter]

if i need to take the certs i can pay for them myself

[pallid prairie]

There are tons of chats which I am missing to read.😫

[jagged otter]

all i really wanna do is bug bounty

[clear jackal]

You should really only pay for Security+ if you need to pay for anything

[finite crystal]

personally, i dont fully trust chatgpt

[rapid merlin]

Yo

[finite crystal]

u know

[clear jackal]

You can't rely on this for stable income

[opal crow]

The way I've been using it is I'm uploading the slides to it and asking it to explain in depth like a professor in a university. Then if I don't understand ask more questions etc but I understand way more this way rather than going to lectures because I can't just drill the professor with questions for 2 hours straight

[jagged otter]

i already have income. i'm doing this for fun

[clear jackal]

But you can. Go to their office hours, online or in person, if available

[rapid merlin]

Are there any better AI than chat GPT ? Rn

Curious

[finite crystal]

isnt the lifestyle a bit dull then

[jagged otter]

what?

[finite crystal]

u should try different things to have a feel for it

[naive violet]

@clear jackal debating getting a QRP HF transceiver btw

[finite crystal]

i mean if u were to do bug bounties for the rest of ur life

[jagged otter]

i enjoy cyber security

[finite crystal]

it would be the life of a programmer

[strong gull]

gemini seems to be pretty nice for cybersec stuff

[finite crystal]

cybersec isnt just bug bounties

[jagged otter]

i know

[clear jackal]

I need to take my HAM so I can keep up lol

[jagged otter]

i like hacking and digital forensics and many more things

[finite crystal]

+1 right there

couldnt have said it better

[opal crow]

I don't need to attend lectures to take exams that's the thing. If I go home in my country I can spend more money for private math teachers, besides being with family etc... but if I can pass the exams I will get the piece of paper for sure

[jagged otter]

i joined try hack me to see what other fields are like

i love to learn

[finite crystal]

ah nice

what type of rooms are u doing?

[naive violet]

Have you not seen the classics?
How many Rs are there in "strawberry"?
It's not as smart, learned, educated, etc as you think. It's a spicy Markov chain.

Try it for some proper, detailed technical questions.
I've had it spit back answers that would have literally killed me had I listened.

[naive violet]

Extra?

[jagged otter]

i was going through them then decided to go to college, so i've been busy

[finite crystal]

well u gotta know one thing, man

[jagged otter]

i also love over the wire

[finite crystal]

its machine learning

it takes some time to fully develop

and it wont even fully develop

[naive violet]

Spicy Markov chain.

[clear jackal]

Sounds sus. Questions can be asked here, more technical can be asked in #infosec-general, career questions can be asked in #cyber-and-careers, and advanced topics such as malware can be asked in #exploit-and-mal-studies

[clear jackal]

Extra what? Im not currently a HAM if thats a level of certification

[rapid merlin]

It says two💀

I had to ask

[strong gull]

it says "no access" on the last one

[clear jackal]

Yes, because you don't meet the requirements currently

[naive violet]

Ah, yep it is a class of license stateside
There's technician, extra, and another. Idk the order.
Highly recommend. Join usssss.

[opal crow]

Professors at my uni use it to explain exercises to us lol. This is why I'm questioning staying here, If they use it why tf am I sitting there watching someone use chatgpt instead of using it on my own

[finite crystal]

could be anything at this point

[rapid merlin]

I say please and thank you to chatgpt 😂

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @vale flax (current: #2263 - 1)

[jagged otter]

i use it to search for certain websites

[finite crystal]

i use it for music

and math

[opal crow]

I think it depends if you upload a data base to it or not. If you upload a file and ask it to explain the file to you which is what I've been doing for now it works pretty well

[clear jackal]

Yeah, I need to make time for the base. Goal is to eventually get to Amateur Extra, we only have 3 classes of license.

[jagged otter]

also i give it my poetry to read to analyze lol

[waxen oriole]

/verify

[clear jackal]

Non commercial I should say

[rapid merlin]

The worse part is I had to count to a Rs lmao

[opal crow]

Rs?

What's that

[clear jackal]

Commercial you can do things like encryption

[rapid merlin]

When I asked chat GPT how many R’s in strawberry

[jagged otter]

the plural of R

[finite crystal]

bro

its 3

[rapid merlin]

It said two

[jagged otter]

lol 2

[finite crystal]

tf u mean 2

[rapid merlin]

Did everyone miss what James said ?

[finite crystal]

now im getting angry

😠

[jagged otter]

strawberry letter 23 is a great song

[naive violet]

Reading comprehension is a lost art

[opal crow]

Yea a few months ago it wasnt that good but now it's getting better. Maybe I just learned to use it better idk

[devout palm]

stawberi

[naive violet]

Correct. You're better at this challenge than ChatGPT

[rapid merlin]

Fr 😅

[finite crystal]

thank u
