general

[slow cloud]

its always at the task where you see the 2 servers in green

[jolly echo]

any tips for me im also a beginner

[slow cloud]

Do you have basic operating system knowlegde?

[jolly echo]

yup a little

[slow cloud]

since thats always where i advice people to start when they wanna try cybersecurity

[jolly echo]

like a normal person operate that much

can give me like index

operating system -> ?

[muted nebula]

Linux, Windows

[lime belfry]

How did you land your first job

[slow cloud]

https://tryhackme.com/paths

the complete beginner path is pretty good

or pre security

good starting points

[jolly echo]

operating system -> linux,windows -> ?

[slow cloud]

i applied 😂

[lime belfry]

😂

[muted nebula]

Windows: Powershell, procmon, event viewer, AD, user, groups, authentication, authorization ...
Linux: Bash, using Terminal, kali linux, familiar with different tools..

[muted nebula]

there are a lot of stuff, I can't list them all here

[slow cloud]

yeah

what he said

[jolly echo]

any resource

[slow cloud]

tryhackme

😂

[muted nebula]

I second this

[jolly echo]

in learning paths i choosed the beginner one

i will see you after i complete this path first

and thanks

[boreal scarab]

I need y'alls opinion. I wanna get a Wazuh server up to monitor my server. Do y'all recommend I just boot up a new Virtual Machine on the server itself, same VLAN and all...... or I have an AIO sitting around collecting dust I could use for this.

[muted nebula]

no idea what you're talking about

[jolly echo]

any indian here by chance

[boreal scarab]

Wazuh, SIEM monitoring

[pallid lotus]

Keep the EDR separate imo

[slow cloud]

Yeah

[jolly echo]

think its for professional person

[boreal scarab]

So, put it on the AIO?

[pallid lotus]

Not gonna be a huge issue if it's just for your own home use

[pallid lotus]

Depends, what's the specs and requirements?

[boreal scarab]

Yah, just my own home use

[boreal scarab]

I don't know exactly the specs, I just remember, got it from work for free.... Has a quadro, a xeon, and 32 GB DDR3 ram, believe a WD Black HDD? It's an HP Z1 Workstation

[pallid lotus]

Should be absolutely fine

Overkill, perhaps 😆

[jolly echo]

i saw someone i know used dell latitude old laptop as server for his website

[boreal scarab]

What in my arsenal isn't overkill? 64 GB DDR4 in my desktop, 256 GB DDR4 in my server, 32 GB DDR5 in my laptop, 48 DDR4 in my other laptop..... 32 GB DDR3 in AIO. and another 32 GB DDR4 in a lenovo server collecting dust

[pallid lotus]

Anything can be a homelab 🤷‍♂️

[pallid lotus]

I mean, I've got 64GiB DDR5 in my PC lmao

[shut hawk]

You could even use your phone, there's a cool blog that talks about it

[boreal scarab]

Oh, and 32 GB DDR2 in a crappy Poweredge III server that is my shelf lol

[sand trench]

brb... gonna build a homelab out of popsicle sticks

[shut hawk]

ok flex smh

[pallid lotus]

Only time I think I've ever actually come close to using that is CAD modelling

[pallid lotus]

LMAO now that is a flex

Just casually use a server as a shelf

[boreal scarab]

I need to upgrade my laptop's ram to 64, running 4 VM's at 4 GB each is killing me and their performance... also need to throw more cores at em

[primal kestrel]

my coworker is ignoring me and it's getting in the way of my department goal 😺

[boreal scarab]

It was a easy $20 shelf right there lol

[pallid lotus]

Speak to your line manager

[primal kestrel]

i have to create my own startup over this

[boreal scarab]

I will!

[shut hawk]

this is my modest homelab lol, nowhere near but serves me well

[primal kestrel]

i really should. i'm always at odds with IT

[slow cloud]

I still need to start on my homelab

[jagged otter]

what's the best ddr 5 6000mhz

[slow cloud]

But i need build a new server

[primal kestrel]

you will be lucky to find a processor to properly support those speeds

[jagged otter]

already have one

[primal kestrel]

Fantastic

[boreal scarab]

That server is soooooo freaking loud. start it up, and you go deaf. Thing sounds like a freaking airport. 15k HDD's in all 6 bays. Said fuck it, and put it ontop of another server that's crappy, that I got for free, from early 2000, and using both as a shelf

[jagged otter]

using ryzen 9 7900x

[boreal scarab]

Wha? All their good for, crappy hardware for today's standard

[primal kestrel]

msrp on that is crazy

[slow cloud]

any league of legends here perchance?

[jagged otter]

[slow cloud]

is proxmox still good or are there better options?

[chilly veldt]

I just have a nice view of the landscape and 16gb DDR4

[rapid merlin]

Do you think it would be safe to buy a second hand pfsense router 👀

[rapid merlin]

Would time that demon got worked on

[slow cloud]

A demon?? 😭

thats just mean

[terse hazel]

which memory segment are global variables stored?

[loud marlin]

how much $ you think to spend on router as in general? and what you wish to do as in network or what ever you do?

[jagged otter]

ok i'm just curious which brand of ram is one of the best, like crucial

[rapid merlin]

I actually want to buy one for my mums computer for extra security

So my neighbour can do one ☝🏻

[pallid lotus]

For her computer?

[rapid merlin]

😂

[crude stump]

Anyone know why text message scammers use accounts with rumbler[.] ru, I’m guessing it’s hacked accounts that hackers are using to send scam messages through.

[rapid merlin]

I had 8 phone numbers, all were gone within the day of me buying them

It would say no SIM card. I tried them in multiple phones

[pallid lotus]

Honestly, for a home network you'd be as well picking up some low-powered second-hand ex-enterprise hardware and installing OPNsense / pfSense yourself 🤷‍♂️

My perimeter firewall is OPNsense running on an old Dell PowerEdge R220. Ancient tech now, but still works absolutely perfectly. Handles everything I need it to.
That's overkill for a home network. A 50 quid usff thin client would be just fine, provided it's got at least two NICs

[crude stump]

What’s interesting is that rumbler is a Russian Gmail service. I put the fake usps link into urlscan and it pings a server in China. Makes me laugh because what legit usps website uses a Chinese cloud server

[rapid merlin]

I found a Protectli Vault Pfsense Router Firewall for around that amount

[boreal scarab]

Reminds me...... I gotta mess with my OPNSense server, get that up and working

[gray sonnet]

you have an OPNSense server?

[sudden pond]

Hi vain

[gray sonnet]

Hello there 👀

[sudden pond]

are you working on any other room?

[rapid merlin]

Not suspicious 😂

[gray sonnet]

Not as of now, but we are brainstorming ideas for the cheeseCTF sequel 😉

[pallid lotus]

First glance, these look pretty cool

[sudden pond]

Sounds cool

[boreal scarab]

Meh, not setup... Lenovo server 32 GB DDR4 ram

[gray sonnet]

ah, so OPNSense on that server

ZUMII! Hai :D

[muted nebula]

there's a sequel?

[pallid lotus]

Not sure how you've found one for 50 quid though

[gray sonnet]

not yet

[boreal scarab]

Yeh.. or proxmark, don't know, still debating

[gray sonnet]

hyd today?

[pallid lotus]

Least I'm seeing is about 380 right now

[gray sonnet]

you mean proxmox

aye, nice!

[boreal scarab]

Man... my AV wants to decide to use every freaking core to run its scan

[boreal scarab]

Tomato, tomahto

[gray sonnet]

Better than yesterday haha 😄

[gray sonnet]

proxmark is an actual piece of hardware

[muted nebula]

greedy ahh

[gray sonnet]

I don't know what it's used for but ik it exists lol

[pallid lotus]

Radio attacks mainly

[boreal scarab]

seriously

[gray sonnet]

ah, TIL

[tawny ruin]

Oh you're running crowdstrike falcon? 😛

[muted nebula]

what was the device used for cloning RFID badges?

[pallid lotus]

Think of it as an older, more advanced version of a flipper zero

But much more powerful

[gray sonnet]

Hi Arhu 👋

Hey there Vain

[sudden pond]

[sudden pond]

[crude stump]

There was a mod here named fluffme or somthing like that, can’t really remember. He left and they crated a clan on him

[boreal scarab]

Oh no, there's a memebers tab, you can see whose in it

[sudden pond]

and why he left?

[crude stump]

Think they just didn’t have time to moderate

[sudden pond]

hmm

[worn thorn]

[boreal scarab]

We got 14 members in the clan!.. 15 including FluffMe

[sudden pond]

why there are so many people interested in blue teaming?

[crude stump]

And they always pulled it off cus the fans are loyal

[crude stump]

I love investigating attacks and defending them

[sudden pond]

alot of people are in it

😻

[south egret]

Threat hunting is cool tho

Theyre cooler than pentesters imo

[sudden pond]

now i understand

[crude stump]

Unlike red teaming almost everyday something is being attacked and there needs to be people to defend it

[rapid merlin]

I’ll forever be a bluey

[boreal scarab]

There was a whole work around just to get the damn thing to give me the files and for me to upload them

Like... jfc...

[toxic rivet]

I figured this question would be appropriate to ask in this server. Is the anti-virus tool "f-secure" safe and reliable? My father is insisting I run their online scanner on my device, but their website feels very scammy to me

[worn thorn]

sounds really unknown to me

[sudden pond]

go for something more trusted

[whole yew]

Eh, it's fine. I wouldn't recommend paying money for personal use on a windows device, Defender is good enough* for almost all consumer use cases.

If you are going to spend money on an AV, i would suggest BitDefender as I've had really good experiences with it.

[boreal scarab]

My 2 cents is ESET

[whole yew]

ESET is slovakian and has very friendly ties to russia, for whatever that's worth. It also means that since they do business in russia, they had to turn over all their source code to the russian authorities for "security review"

it's why many companies pulled out of russia a few years ago

[boreal scarab]

Aaaand goodbye ESET

[cosmic pendant]

I use Eset

[whole yew]

I’ve been trying all day

Also I can’t close these ports

Completely factory reset the router, unplug the cable that gives you internet, then connect with the Admin:password, change the password, connect to the internet.

[rapid merlin]

I’ve tried

[loud marlin]

what router ?

[sick lance]

If you think somebody is changing your password etc

Contact your ISP.

[rapid merlin]

I need an actual hacker to have a look

[molten solar]

@rapid merlin Likely its a R/O filesystem when you are comitting the new pw

And if you are logging into the router to update .. .are you doing things like wr running-config or whatnot

[rapid merlin]

I tried, I called and asked them to update my firmware. Got through to an extremely fuzzy call, she acted like she knew nothing and then the firmware wasn’t updated

[loud marlin]

or try change password in offline mode. like no internet to router. just local login

[rapid merlin]

Not sure how to do that

Every time I go into router I’m kicked

[sick lance]

I just told you...

[rapid merlin]

And then it’s reset

[loud marlin]

unplug cable that give internet to router from isp

[sick lance]

Literally just told you.

[loud marlin]

web browser ui it can be accessed via 192.168.x.x ip and login and change

[rapid merlin]

It won’t load when I get kicked

I get blocked

If someone can get this guy out I’ll give you my left toe

[loud marlin]

is that case now on this router you are on ?

[rapid merlin]

Yes

Mind you I’ve been getting harassed and attacked for a year after reporting someone for a case

Getting called a whistle blower and it has been a constant fight

Imagine if the police actually did something in the Uk I would still be working on my art business

[loud marlin]

is there cance that you connect to internet via phone and turn off router ?

if you can be online via hotspot and turn off router and uplog internet cable then you can login on router and do the stuff

[rapid merlin]

I’ve tried

I’ve tried everything

[loud marlin]

what router is ?

[rapid merlin]

Vodafone

But it doesn’t matter

[loud marlin]

that does not help 🙂

[rapid merlin]

No matter what internet I got or where I was they find me

I just want my life back

I cant believe I’m having to learn an entire subject just to be left alone

[loud marlin]

let me try be nice. tell me what modem is and so... i might help if i know more detail

default isp routers are quite easy. when you get to own routers the shit hit the storm

[whole yew]

you dont' need a hacker to audit it. Do you own the router, or is it ISP owned?

Log into the admin console with a physical cable, disable wireless, reboot. If the router has been that deeply compromised, better off getting a new one with a different mfg

[tired moth]

sup

[whole yew]

if the router is continually compromised with wireless access disabled, there's a bigger problem and you should consider changing the ISP to one that does NAT and does not assign public addresses to customers

[sick lance]

Who is your ISP?

[loud marlin]

@rapid merlin here is quite nice list of ppl who can help and share some words of wisdom. if you ask ppl can help

[wooden totem]

Wifi pirates

[molten solar]

Ah the cantenna approach to internet service

[wooden totem]

I think you forgot to attach the list

[loud marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/get-out-leave-gif-5785321051025239919

[sick lance]

I agree, to double check you're not on it. /s

[wooden totem]

oh im stupid lmao

the list is the server

[loud marlin]

i can't dox all the list ppl 😉

[robust stone]

any romanian here?

[rapid merlin]

Vodafone but it doesn’t matter who I’m with

They’re always able to get in

[crude stump]

Why not just get a new one

Not saying this is the case but is it possible you are just super paranoid?

[loud marlin]

what is full name

of router

[rapid merlin]

No

[crude stump]

“Vodafone”

[rapid merlin]

This is why I’ve not been getting help

[loud marlin]

also you using VPN in general

[teal wharf]

if u know admin creds try making the wifi insivible and give it an impossible to guess pass

[rapid merlin]

Because people assume I’m paranoid or crazy

[loud marlin]

@rapid merlin check in back of router full name ...

[rapid merlin]

Can I dm you it ?

[loud marlin]

sure

[teal wharf]

and see if the "hacker" (if there is one) can access ur network anymore

[solemn holly]

XD

Fred20010

You're good man

XD

[crude stump]

Bruh got muted lmao

[teal wharf]

cant get any darker than that

[crude stump]

Look the only reason why I assumed that, is because many people stated ways to fix it and even scrubz said to factory reset the router, you said you tried. I don’t know anything that can bypass a factory reset.

[opal crow]

Do routers have firmware?

[rapid merlin]

It’s a hub

[opal crow]

Do hubs have firmware?

If they do I'm pretty sure there's malware that can sit in firmware no?

[boreal scarab]

ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH

I broke my new pinter

[molten solar]

Is it a half pinter now?

@crude stump Isn't the whole bypass factory reset why mobile devices are soft-bricked if you wipe before unlocking?

[boreal scarab]

It's no web interface printer now

I fixed it, had to reset it. I quite like this printer over my old.... just entering wifi password is a no go, missing characters I need

[chilly veldt]

everything that runs some sort of code has firmware

[rapid merlin]

Yes that is true

[crude stump]

They are rare

[crude stump]

Honestly I don’t really know. Don’t androids soft brick

[silver sky]

Yay don't you love forced updates

[loud marlin]

in short... every litthe shit have firmware 🙂

[crude stump]

Love em

[hazy pasture]

can anyone help me with that junior security analyst intro answer?
What will be your role as a Junior Security Analyst?

[crude stump]

#room-help

[pallid prairie]

To analyse the security as a junior.😁

[crude stump]

Also the answer should be in the text

[jolly forge]

Imagine reading the text 😄

[winged summit]

Man, y'all are savages lol

[silver sky]

And fuck my IT department

Jks

Love them when they don't take 6 months to do a ticket

[wooden totem]

why do I see so many people be annoyed by updates (not specific to this server), just click "update and shut down" after a session one time

[winged summit]

i think people just don't like the unexpected/forced updates. if they have a choice, i don't think they care

[silver sky]

We are a 24 hour department. These are CCTV monitoring stations.

When IT force their updates, they don't allow us to delay or stagger the restarts which leads to us being blind

[wooden totem]

I dont think you get forced updates if you update first many times you get the notification

[winged summit]

welp. i don't know what to tell you ha

[pallid prairie]

In this aspect I like apple. They ask or inform that the update will happen in the night or you can update now.

[wooden totem]

oh right the 24h thing, yeah. Still odd about the regular users I see tho

[winged summit]

yeah. i respect Apple for that too.

I also like Linux. Debian in particular doesn't force updates at all 🙂

actually. wait. i have had some weird moments. but it's mostly cool lol

[silver sky]

Regular users don't see the restarts as it's always in the evening or overnight.

[winged summit]

like, i recall one time i shut down and my computer literally turned back on and installed updates lol

[winged summit]

but most of the time that doesn't happen

[crude stump]

💀

[winged summit]

anyone working on cool technical projects right now? 🙂

or rooms, etc? 🙂

[naive violet]

Working on talking to satellites, on and off

[winged summit]

O_O talking? or listening?

[pliant cairn]

Im working on AWS cloudtrail investigations

[naive violet]

I have a license, so talking

[winged summit]

holllllly smokes man

that is wild!

[naive violet]

You can get a license too!

[winged summit]

haha, i'm too afraid. no thanks lol

[naive violet]

Ham radio license lets you talk to ham radio satellites, amongst other things

[winged summit]

interesting!

i purchased a HAM radio recently. but haven't used it yet

[pliant cairn]

what was the typical response be when you try to contact?

[naive violet]

There's people on the other end

You beam up, it beams back down

[pliant cairn]

cool

[naive violet]

Most comms sats work that way

[wooden totem]

"So.... how's the weather"

[pliant cairn]

would you be able to transmit to ISS if ofcourse if all things line up

[winged summit]

ah, whew - you freaked me out man. i thought you were like, pentesting a satellite at first or something, haha. then you mentioned HAM and a wave of relief came over me lol. (not saying you're not qualified to pentest sats, but man, wouldn't that be scary?! haha)

[naive violet]

Yeah I got the kit for it, just... Need to go outdoors and set it all up on a good pass

[pliant cairn]

so cool

[naive violet]

Doesn't take a lot to talk to the ISS, I listened in on a contact the other week

Signal was weak but it worked

https://twitter.com/ARISS_Intl

Twitter

[pliant cairn]

i want to get my hands on that eventually

[naive violet]

Get a ham license! Not sure where you are, but UK and US are pretty easy

[wooden totem]

What would you even say though

[pliant cairn]

and what gear/ docs if i want to get started?

[bold sigil]

What's the difference of vulnerability research and reverse engineering

[pliant cairn]

whatever but it would be so cool irrespective.

[naive violet]

Getting your license should involve a bit of study, so you'll learn about the gear and docs you need.
Long story short, transciever (radio) and an antenna

[pliant cairn]

gotcha

[wooden totem]

build it in a cave with a box of scraps for the authentic feeling

[pliant cairn]

i was tinkering around with atlas and ATTK maps. I set up my own maps with Navic Indian nav system

[narrow bone]

In a time where we have starlink they still communicate with radio?

[naive violet]

Little toooo high frequency for that

[naive violet]

Starlink uses radio.

[winged summit]

i'm not an expert. but i'm pretty sure they go hand in hand. reverse engineering is used for vulnerability research. reverse engineering allows you to figure out how software works (even binaries or closed source projects, etc.). Then, you use that understanding to find out how the code works and find vulnerabilities with it.

[naive violet]

Wifi uses radio (microwaves)

[wooden totem]

https://tenor.com/view/obadiah-stane-tony-stark-was-able-to-build-this-in-a-cave-with-a-box-of-scraps-tony-stark-box-of-scraps-iron-man-gif-23963164

[naive violet]

Ethernet signalling is baseband, basically radio but slower

[bold sigil]

Yes I mean in master degree u do vulnerability research

And reverse engineering is for example ghidra

What's the difference

[winged summit]

Not sure. It depends on the degree probably.

[wooden oasis]

hi everyone

[bold sigil]

What you do in other degrees

[winged summit]

I would contact the school. They'll have all the details.

[winged summit]

i'm confused. what do you mean?

[wooden oasis]

how long have you guys been doing cyber security for?

[bold sigil]

They told me it's more low level, protocols and maths

[winged summit]

started 20 years ago. Took a 12 year break (on and off). Getting back into it 5 years ago.

[bold sigil]

You told it depends on degree

[bold sigil]

So 5 lol

[narrow bone]

Learned another thing today 😂 sounds fun doing a little research on that

[wooden oasis]

thats nice to know. im new to learning cyber security

[winged summit]

8 haha. i edited my comment

[wooden oasis]

what did you learn?

[crude stump]

I’m the best

[wooden oasis]

i have a question

where do we start from

[crude stump]

#start-here

[wooden oasis]

rigght

[wooden oasis]

how long did it take u to get where u at right now?

[crude stump]

Honestly im not that far

[wooden oasis]

i really wanna learn alot about cyber security

[crude stump]

I do it every weekend

[jolly forge]

Is koth active still?

[wooden oasis]

and how are you finding it ?

[crude stump]

I love it

[wooden oasis]

im glad you love it 🙂

is anyone doing a course?

[clear jackal]

Going to be honest, it took me way too long to figure out that transceiver is transmission and receiver mashed together

[wooden oasis]

does anyone know how to hack wifi passwords?

[left hornet]

can anyone try and find the source code to this (dont run it as it bricks your masterbootrecord)

[clear jackal]

@naive violet or @mossy river do, it's their favorite activity

[left hornet]

bruh

i cant send the file

[clear jackal]

Just a moment

[wooden oasis]

@naive violet can you teach me?

[naive violet]

I'm building a transverter at the moment.
Transmit receive conveter

[mossy river]

Yes but this is a restricted topic -> https://tryhackme.notion.site/Advanced-Discussions-8d3d6f19846943fe9f0e3febaa6ae607

[wooden oasis]

can we message privately

i have a question can u use cmd ?

i seen this one yt video

[mossy river]

Sorry, we do not bypass the server rules here 😅

[wooden oasis]

no worries

[mossy river]

It sounds like you're new to cybersecurity. Why not sign up to the platform and learn how cyber works? https://tryhackme.com/

[wooden oasis]

yeah ive already signed up just thought u guys can help me

[jolly forge]

Noone is going to help you hack anything. Especially some stranger on the internet whose intentions are unknown.

[boreal scarab]

New printer is setup, way faster than my old one

[naive violet]

@left hornet Please don't distribute malware here

[wooden oasis]

how did u learn then?

i wanna be the good hacker

[placid bridge]

hey guys

im new here

[wooden oasis]

hello

[placid bridge]

my question is can i stream and upload youtube videos for tryhackme machines?

[jolly forge]

Using platforms like tryhackme. Part of learning is learning how to learn and being an autodidact

[naive violet]

The golden rule of hacking is you don't hack anything that doesn't belong to you.
Once you have learnt about the laws and ethics, you can learn how you can get the proper legal permission to attack stuff that belongs to other people with their permission.

[boreal scarab]

For their writeups, or stream/ youtube vids OF the rooms?

[placid bridge]

stream/ youtube vids OF the rooms

[boreal scarab]

@mossy river any restrictions from THM POV for this? Not sure if y'all have any rules round it.

[placid bridge]

i seen people online doing it but wanted to confirm here

[sick lance]

Yeah, you can't use THM art as thumbnails, or reveal flags, hashes or passwords

[boreal scarab]

@placid bridge ^

[placid bridge]

everything else is okay? as in the proccess, and commands

just blur out the flags hashes and be custom thumnails

[mossy river]

This only applies to ones posted in the Discord server and ones published on the website

[sick lance]

Ah, I thought it was a general rule for all.

[tough ravine]

@sick lance how to join creators-launge?

[sand trench]

time for early sloop sleep to the beop boep while meep moop so that shadow can deal with lab stuff tomorrow

[twin ridge]

➕ Gave the role Creators-Lounge to 0x_indranil

[lavish trench]

gn shadow

[rapid merlin]

Night

[placid bridge]

so i can post videos of me completing free room challanges just blur out password, hashes and flags? is that correct?

[sinful moon]

What’s up fam, missed you lol

[rapid merlin]

holsa

[sinful moon]

lovely avatar

[mossy river]

Yup:)

You can email support for a more detailed breakdown of the do's and don'ts :)

[placid bridge]

much love brother for sure do u have an email?

[mossy river]

[e-mail]

[clear jackal]

[e-mail]

Damn, I'm slow

[rapid merlin]

should i switch to linux?

how do i verify myself

[hushed knoll]

well, that's pretty obvious but ofc you should if you want to

[rapid merlin]

how do i?

like ik i need a iso

[placid bridge]

linux host OS?

[rapid merlin]

and a flash drive or some shit like that

[placid bridge]

as a host OS?

[quartz fog]

I just use a VirtualBox VM

[placid bridge]

just use vmware

[quartz fog]

But I also checked out WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)

You can install Debian or Kali within Windows like an App

[rapid merlin]

ahh ngl i just want linux as my main op system

[placid bridge]

yeah its good but doesnt have much

[placid bridge]

never do that tbh

least imo

[rapid merlin]

whys that?

[placid bridge]

using vms is everyone method and mistakes on ur host and having a not a goo dunderstanding of it can just lead to issues

i wanted that once but it isnt worth it imo

imagine runing rm -rf /

rip all ur files

[quartz fog]

I've dual booted Linux and Windows, but I don't think I've ever run it as a main

[placid bridge]

yeah

[rapid merlin]

ahhh okay

which linux should i ge then

get*

[placid bridge]

hacking is kali linux or parrot

[quartz fog]

I use Kali for most pentesting things

[rapid merlin]

well im a newgen

[placid bridge]

i tried parrot but moved to kali

[quartz fog]

but if i was doing daily usage, I'd use Debian

[rapid merlin]

wanting to learn so learners one

[quartz fog]

anything I want in Kali, i can install in Debian 😛

[rapid merlin]

and that is?

like ik waht kali is

but whats debian

[hushed knoll]

facts, it's lil bit harder to maintain linux

[quartz fog]

Debian is what Kali is based on

[rapid merlin]

ahhh

[quartz fog]

Kali just has everything and then some pre-installed

[rapid merlin]

what are the basics i should learrn about ccoding an shi first

[placid bridge]

yeah they made vms specfic to situation based on linux

[quartz fog]

python is good to know

[placid bridge]

kali is for pent testers

[quartz fog]

bash scripting is also helpful

[rapid merlin]

like ik bat files almost jack shi about python c# and shi

[hushed knoll]

I'm not an expert ofc but I'd not recommend daily driving kali tho

[quartz fog]

bash scripting is the linux version of batch files

[rapid merlin]

ahhh oaky

[placid bridge]

learning coding will help multiply ur hacking strength its not nessasry but will make u much better

code review is important though

[quartz fog]

you will encounter and will use a lot of b64 encoding

[rapid merlin]

but first things first

how tf do i verify myself

[quartz fog]

./verify

[rapid merlin]

in any channel

?

[placid bridge]

./verify

[rapid merlin]

ight we good now

[placid bridge]

verified myself

rip

ngl been forever since i been on tryhackme

ill slowly start using it again

[karmic geyser]

@placid bridge now you are a big hacker.

🎉

[placid bridge]

😂 what i do man, i used to use tryhackme 3 years ago but stopped

still a noob tbh

[karmic geyser]

do the incave box.

[placid bridge]

yeah, hopefully i keep like a daily thing of things to do if i get time i will 🥲

[boreal scarab]

sniffs I smell bullshit in this sentence towards me

👀

[placid bridge]

today was refining my sql injection methodolgy and ill be doing 3 boxes of it next

[chilly veldt]

give me the raten raten raten raten raten rat!

lol how so?

just finished watching some show

cd .. && ls -la

although sharing uname -a and or neofetch would be fun

turns out I have way less in my iOS gallery than I had hoped lol. Were’s my NeXTSTEP oneeee

lol like 90% of the posts in #general regarding NeXTSTEP were from me

close enough, there’s uname -a on Apple Rhapsody DR2 (x86)

bah where are my *nix nerds!

[boreal scarab]

Oh I have no idea lol

Welp.. was going to setup Wazuh today.... did not do that, oh well.

[sinful moon]

Why not? Didn’t look too super complicated despite the server infra required

at the same time I get you, I don’t always have the energy after a day of IT/infosec for these kind of projects lol

[rapid merlin]

guys help there is a bug like always on the machines

Oh, printer issues... ended up buying a brand new printer, not 3d, just normal. But that turned into me hopping on my desktop after a month of it being offline....... so, a lot of updates

A lot of app updates, not even just windows, I'm still working here updating my desktop after 5 hours after I got my printer

[sinful moon]

ouch ouch noping out right now after hearing printer

lol

[boreal scarab]

Omg... the defaults security wise were abysmal

No password encryption, 112 Bit SSL encryption, every... fucking... protocol enabled...

[blazing granite]

it's always the printer or the DNS 😂

[amber summit]

damn guys UsDoD arrested

[boreal scarab]

I had to go through, disable IPV6, a bunch of protocols, SMB 3 enabled with encryption and hashing...... think I spent at least 30 minutes testing, making sure everything looked good

[crude stump]

Ain’t that old news

[amber summit]

he was doxxed before

[crude stump]

Or actually I think only his identity was exposed

[crude stump]

Yeah

[amber summit]

this is an arrest

[crude stump]

Good

[amber summit]

good? :( he was my G

[crude stump]

He can be your g in jail too

[amber summit]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

spending time in jail with your Gs

what else you want in life

i’m just joking guys black hat is bad

[blazing granite]

why did you disable ipv6?

[sinful moon]

If it’s not something you are using practically in small business then it’s just an additional liability

near 0 reason to support it on your internal networks anyways atm

worst case it could be a massive blind spot for your org or orgs. As IPv6 logs are often stored separately

[boreal scarab]

No IPv6 in my home network, so no IPv6 shall be needed on le printer

[crude stump]

What type of printer are we talking about

[blazing granite]

My bad, I assume that he had ipv6 support, I had everything on ipv6 in Israel

[sinful moon]

No worries, yeah most small to medium business just turn it off since it’s often a massive blindspot

[warm current]

Guys we are coming in a bigger way
2k sales in the new store
Moving to 5k soon inshallah

What

[urban herald]

Hello everyone ! I'm new in cybersecurity community ! I'm very glad to be here ☺️

[finite basalt]

just found this in a research paper

how class is that

[orchid tusk]

Anybody know any decent Alpine compilers on GIT? Trying to run some more protocols on my barebones ISH

[rapid merlin]

hello everyone

can someone whos pro help me pls ?
i got a quesstion.

can someone help pls ?

this is the quesstion.

[orchid tusk]

What’s the question? I ain’t a pro but you can probably ask in room or site help

Violation 😭

[rapid merlin]

what kind of information does aircrack-ng need or use from a capture.cap (for example name.)
that will aircrack-ng use and a word from wordlist to crack the the password.

or how does even the wpa2 password cracking work ?
in need.
or how does a aircrack in deep crack the wpa2 password
(what info does aircack-ng need from the (4 way handshakes) use to crack the password ?)

i come in peace 😭

i needed a technical ethical help bro 😭
im not black hat yo

its related to "hecking"
friend but i guess i need information which you don't understand i guess ?
or do u understand it ?

as if u see my profile i say im 3+ years in ethical hacking.

if you need ask quesstions if u need proof

[pearl raven]

lol mind games, love it.

[rapid merlin]

... if you don't care then why are you answering me stuff ?

its not Try Hack Me related but its related to hacking bruh...

[fading dagger]

Your G? time to snitch to the FBI

[rapid merlin]

idk why you agresive af bruh

[chilly veldt]

I aint reading all that.
Good for you, or sorry that happened to you

[quick dock]

Whats the difference between paid and free? Just academy stuff?

[fading dagger]

nope buddy its asking in general chat a general question this chat aint #room-help

[chilly veldt]

More rooms, 24/7 access to the attackbox and more resources on the machines

[fading dagger]

It looks that that the only one that doesnt understand its you

[chilly veldt]

Me when I don't understand what teacher is saying

[rapid merlin]

it is related to hacking BRO 💀
i want to understand how it works.
i aint idk what you think i am. or whoever u think am i.
i said and will say again
i come in peace and need help related to ethical hacking speseficly on
how does aircrack-ng work / what info from 4 way handshake does it need to crack the pass or the hash.
how it really works in deep.

[quick dock]

Thank you. I have HTB as a sub, was going to try this out too.

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @chilly veldt (current: #7 - 889)

[rapid merlin]

...
then why tha hell people keep telling me what am i able to do or what should i do ? 😭
im in general chat to ask simple quesstion..

[chilly veldt]

No worries

[mossy river]

Hey wifi hacking is restricted to the advanced channels #rules @fading dagger

[fading dagger]

What rule may i ask you

[mossy river]

Rule 10- Follow our community guidelines -> https://tryhackme.notion.site/Advanced-Discussions-8d3d6f19846943fe9f0e3febaa6ae607

[rapid merlin]

yes
as i knew it does that.
but i want to know more deep how or what information does it need to
take values
hash them
do stuff
and compare hashes...
i don't want to be a script kiddi bruh

[quick dock]

General chat in most discords like this are for memes. Actual channels are for help

[rapid merlin]

ty tho for answering not like others 👍

[fading dagger]

np buddy

[rapid merlin]

huh
i just joined to ask for help...

[rapid merlin]

for example which channels are for asking quesstions ?

[chilly veldt]

#advanced-general and #advanced-help

[mossy river]

Exactly, our advanced channels are for discussions where we need you to have specific requirements so that we know you are here for Cybersecurity.

[fading dagger]

Oh cool! So in not no access channels he can ask questions

[quick dock]

I also cant see those channels

[mossy river]

Yes, please read the document:)

[rapid merlin]

: ( same

[rapid merlin]

do you use arch linux ? 😂
respectfuly.

[fading dagger]

[rapid merlin]

okk

[quick dock]

Thank you

[fading dagger]

I already read it, but damn...

Other places are more "friendly" than this

[rapid merlin]

😭 BRRRUH

[fading dagger]

But ty Jabba

[quick dock]

Make an account/ link it to discord for the help channels

[rapid merlin]

this aint open source kinda stuff bruh : (

[mossy river]

I'm always happy to improve our community. Would you be able to elaborate on what isn't "Friendly" here? :)

[fading dagger]

Its bit over complicated for example to ask for help on those topics

Mos peopel joing because they like THM or they need help with anything regarding to hacking

Or they dont use thm a lot

[quick dock]

Wait im not allowed to talk about wifi cracking and asvanced topics until i get OSCP? Why

[rapid merlin]

i asked simple quesstion how is it friendly comunity if i needed simple answer and nobody doesnt answer me or i need to wait for idk like a week to level up to ask 1 simple quesstion 😭

[sudden pond]

who said?

[fading dagger]

Maybe reaching to lvl 13 is not that hard

[quick dock]

Someone pinged that above

[sudden pond]

strange

[quick dock]

Yeah but why?

[quick dock]

Thats kinda dumb

[mossy river]

This Discord community is for the TryHackMe service, while we are happy to help, we still have to protect TryHackMe's interests. "Hacking" discussions are often for illegal purposes which is against Discord's TOS and will result in our Discord server being terminated.

[fading dagger]

Mmmm but you think that thats the best way to deal with that?

[sudden pond]

But we talk about ethical one

[mossy river]

It's a restricted topic. If the question was about a TryHackMe room, we are more than happy tro help #room-help

[rapid merlin]

agree.

[fading dagger]

Not to metion other.... server..... 🟢 but they dont have those restrictions and you can actually ask anything

in the correct channels ofc

[rapid merlin]

so can i ask my quesstions about wifi stuff in #room-help ?

[rapid merlin]

name ? pls

[fading dagger]

No

[rapid merlin]

okay.

[mossy river]

After a lot of research, yes:)

@quick dock Please do not circumvent our server rules!

[rapid merlin]

i couldn't veryify my acc in that server 😭

[sudden pond]

try all of em until u find the right one

[fading dagger]

I see

[quick dock]

Thats not a circumvent thats a noob asking for help in a legit pentest scenario

[mossy river]

If it's against our community rules, you suggesting somewhere where they can ask the question is the definition of circumvention 😅

[pallid lotus]

As a side note: you shouldn't be asking random people online for help with a "legit pentest scenario" anyway. Ask the seniors at work.

[rapid merlin]

i got ban'd for making jokes the popular server 😭
i can't even try to get back on the server
they don't care
nothing personal but mod's are bad people. (like gov. kinda people.(if you got problem send it to email me.(and waits for years 😭 )))

[sudden pond]

yesterday i found the fluff clan

[rapid merlin]

nothing personal about the mod's in this server !

[sudden pond]

fluff the only mod they love

[quick dock]

Isnt that what this server is for? To learn

[pallid lotus]

No. This server is to provide support for the TryHackMe platform.

[quick dock]

Ok fair, my mistake

[pallid lotus]

All good. Easy mistake to make 😄

[sudden pond]

[neon merlin]

"OSCP | PEN-200: Penetration Testing with Kali Linux(About 3 months):
This certification serves as a gold standard in cybersecurity and often bypasses many HR screening processes."

what do they mean by "bypasses"?

[pallid lotus]

Fancy way of saying that it's often a keyword to get through HR checks

[neon merlin]

So have this and you're getting an interview basically?

[pallid lotus]

As in: OSCP is on the list of certs they look for. If you have it, you may get to the next stage. If not, nada

[pallid lotus]

Not a guarantee

But it potentially removes an obstacle if that's something they are looking for (and it often is)

You do also still need to have relevant experience/ be a good fit for the role / etc

[simple valve]

Can confirm OSCP is good for getting job interviews

[south egret]

It basically means that you'll have a higher chance of getting noticed

[pallid lotus]

That ^^^

[neon merlin]

And it just so happens to be the one that costs $1600

[pallid lotus]

Well, that and it can outright exclude you if you don't have it lmao

[neon merlin]

All the CompTIA stuff seems way cheaper

[pallid lotus]

For now... Offsec were just acquired by a private equity group

Expect price increases

We shall see if their reputation holds

[neon merlin]

$1600 is the minimum, thats if you can do it in 90 days.

If you want 1 year to complete it's $2500

[pallid lotus]

I did it in 60 🤷‍♂️

Before they removed that option

[fading dagger]

@pallid lotus @simple valve Guys what is the best advice for a semi-new person on pentesting? What are the key values to be able to go further and move freely in each environment?

Im asking this because I stop doing pentesting to do other things and right now... I feel lost, and some times I get stuck in easy things or not being able to find the answer or the "way"

[rapid merlin]

i posted my quesstion in #room-help pls help

[simple valve]

Approach a sales rep if you’re from a company. They usually give some discounts.

[neon merlin]

Unfortuantly I am not from a company.

[pallid lotus]

"pentesting" is a job role. If you're a pentester, speak to the seniors on your team if you need help.

If you mean hacking generally, you'll find that it's often quite different from pentesting.

[fading dagger]

Both

[simple valve]

Attend a local conference where OffSec is a partner. They might give out discounts.

[pallid lotus]

At its foundation pentesting is just a really specific QA check conducted by a professional with "hacking" skills.
i.e., you follow a methodology (preferably a custom one built on top of a standard), and use that to framework the testing you conduct

[neon merlin]

I'm like not in this industry at all. I work in a completely different non computer industry. I'm just looking into possibility of a lateral career move. As in I dont want to start from the bottom because it wont support my family

[rapid merlin]

i hate the mod's on this server.
i needed help but i see i need to wait for weeks in this server to get access to special channels to be able to get a answer a simple quesstion.
i do not recommend this server 😞

[pearl raven]

cries in PA Dutch.

Very very few local events for me 😛

[rapid merlin]

people don't change.
if they are paid well and comfortable
they don't give a f about others.
i hate and will forever hate people who are like mod's in this server : (

[simple valve]

Same here

[pallid lotus]

A) conferences are a good bet then,
B) remember that cybersec generally is considered an advanced IT topic. It's rare that you'd be able to move laterally into a cyber role from a completely different industry.

That said, the flip side there is that starting at the bottom is generally still pretty well paid.

[neon merlin]

I'd be looking to make at least £35k for the first IT role if that's even possible.

Anything less and I'm losing too much switching careers

[pallid lotus]

The lowest salary I've seen for a cyber role in the UK (SOC tier 1) is about £28k straight out of uni
