Hey team, is it possible to have my badges on my github page somehow or would I have to upload them as images sorta thing

[sudden pond]

You can use profile badge id

[rapid merlin]

what does the cyber crusader ticket do?

[sudden pond]

its a title

[azure hill]

I mean that's just the keybind for the windows screen recorder

[visual nacelle]

[azure hill]

Goodbye, have a good day!

[visual nacelle]

Imma make a script tomorrow

[azure hill]

What kind of script you thinkin

[visual nacelle]

Mostly just a persuasive infomercial to entice people to join tryhackme, I want tickets

[azure hill]

Ohh gotcha, I thought you meant like a python script haha

[visual nacelle]

Nah, maybe later

[azure hill]

I feel like making a video for this also just to get comfortable making streams/videos for my cybersec club

[visual nacelle]

Dang it, I just realized I have other work to do

Is it true that pentester freelancers get paid like 20k per pentest

I had a consultation with a cybersec professional and he told me it's normal for pentesters to get like 15/20k per pentest and getting 1 to 1.5 pentests per week

[boreal scarab]

Yah... running Folding@Home only on GPU and my CPU hates me at 77 C

[rapid merlin]

That's like 1m a yeat

[tepid furnace]

77c is mighty spicy

[tepid furnace]

what mobo you running?

[boreal scarab]

Off Folding@Home, 67C

He a hot boi

[blazing granite]

renew it 😉

[tepid furnace]

most mobo's have the led indicators

you can see what's causing it to not boot/start

That'll help you isolate if it is a gpu issue or a drive failing to read or a cpu failing to read

[wild trench]

I need this laptop at least 🥹

[clear jackal]

A consultation for what? Were they trying to sell you a course?

Those numbers seem very inflated

[wild trench]

I’m here hustling/learning

[tepid furnace]

let me know where you're getting 1 to 1.5 pentests a week at 15/20k per

[clear jackal]

Tomahawk X570 iirc

[tepid furnace]

I'll happily be ur pentester

[tepid furnace]

aight one sec

[blazing granite]

That's what I thought 😂 selling technique

[clear jackal]

I need to go and reflash the bios/see if there are updates

Then work from there

[tepid furnace]

here you go

when you power it on you'll see the leds

https://www.manua.ls/msi/mag-x570-tomahawk/manual?p=41 exact page on your manual

[clear jackal]

Not sure what that chart is showing me, there is an led there yes. Is this saying that if the led is on, it's any of those symptoms?

[tepid furnace]

there should be 4 leds

in that order too

the manual doesnt have color but usally white means vga which is what you're looking for

Ideally the led should turn on for a second while its booting

[clear jackal]

I'll look tomorrow. There is an led there, but it's always on when the PC is on, even before the issues

[tepid furnace]

but if it fails and the led remains on then that's an issue

yeah fair enough

but think of it like a checklist it'll run through

[clear jackal]

Yeah, I understand. I've got my own mental checklists

I've already reseated the ram and gpu

Next is bios

[tepid furnace]

yeah fair enough

but each light should turn on during boot

and then if it fails to boot while the light reamined on then thats how you know which comp failed

but there was some catch about vga and integrated graphics on a cpu

but I don't remember the specifics

[clear jackal]

AMD Ryzen, at least the CPU I have, doesn't have integrated graphics

[tepid furnace]

I see

either way google will know 100% what it was but the mobo led's are a godsend

helped when I was building my pc and realized I got a dead mobo doa and a dead cpu doa

[clear jackal]

Yeah, nothing was dead when I built it a few years ago. I hadn't used it in a couple of weeks and had left it asleep vs shut down. I'm assuming something messed up OS wise

[tepid furnace]

yeah could be

[clear jackal]

And now it's struggling to get to the operating system

[tepid furnace]

yeah that's not a good sign :p

I tried doing some research but couldn't really find an answer. I was trying to get a reverse shell through a file upload and found it was not taking the .php extension. I was able to bypass that by setting the extension to .php3, however, the shell would not execute. Changed the extension to .php5 and voila, reverse shell. Does the server just not recognize the .php3?

[tight thicket]

Some webservers don't recognize them as php

[rapid merlin]

yeah same LOL

[jagged otter]

what's revert racism?

[rapid merlin]

msicar

[blazing granite]

reverse I misspelled it 😂 discrimination against members of a dominant or majority group, in favour of members of a minority or historically disadvantaged group.

[jagged otter]

ok, never heard of that.

[blazing granite]

I have a friend that was dating a black girl, friends and family of her, gave him sh*t just for being white, that's an example of reverse racism

[jagged otter]

sounds like plain racism or just their thoughts on the matter

[blazing granite]

of course, but it's technically called reverse because people are more used to the white (so call "dominant") part doing the racist sh*t, but everybody can do it that's the whole point point 🙂 a lot of minorities that suffer racism, can be racist when they have the chance. They see it as a kind of revenge for all their pain

[jagged otter]

you black?

[blazing granite]

nop, but I have a lot of black friends, also I'm a Jew and an Israeli citizen so I know a thing or two about discrimination, racism or in my case antisemitism that is an other word for racism/discrimination 🙂

[jagged otter]

yeah, i know a thing or 2 myself

[fallen sundial]

ooooh, I have been getting more into networking since I plan on doing either my ccna or net+ soon
I saw this " Secure Network Architecture ... [coming soon]" and got so hype

[jagged otter]

if you're really into it, i'd go for ccna

[fallen sundial]

I feel a little weird about CCNA since I certed abroad and then no one in the us could confirm my CCNA

[blazing granite]

I try to get along with everybody. I have Muslims friend too, we're are not bound to politics/religions. Actually I lived in Eastern Jerusalem for many years 🙂

[jagged otter]

so you know more than i do, so do you thang

honestly we're all just a bunch of mutts

[blazing granite]

CCNA is international, if you took the official test and have the certificate there is no need of confirmation

[jagged otter]

bet you took the 1.99 course on fakebook

[fallen sundial]

Nah, they ask for some very sensitive information in the US and attach it to that. So those in the USA should have been able to confirm that I had it even if it expired

[jagged otter]

be careful of social media, people scam openly

[fallen sundial]

I also used the official CIsco site

[jagged otter]

i thought if it expires then you don't have it

[fallen sundial]

They would/should still track attempts

[jagged otter]

well, just redo it. things happen. either redo it or show them your skills

[blazing granite]

that's the thing you can't let it expired, it can be renew by earning Continuing Education credit, you can check out cisco website, sometimes, online lectures and courses gives you credit

or the other way is taking the test again

[jagged otter]

one time, i helped some guys working on a server. i was painting and they couldn't figure out what language. i think i told them either B or A i can't remember but i was right and they acted surprised

[steep cradle]

Morning 🙂

[jagged otter]

morning

it's more like good night here lol

[fallen sundial]

While I agree with you, that is a separate matter.

An employer should be able to reach out to Cisco and confirm that at some point that I had it.

I had an employer tell me they could not find it and I did let them know it was expired beforehand

[jagged otter]

can you print a copy?

[fallen sundial]

Yeah, but I hadn't. I did reach out to Cisco about it and didn't get far, though this is all years ago

[blazing granite]

being there, many times I suggested or did something and then the person supposedly in charge told me, how you get to that? I told them easy this, this, etc 😂

[fallen sundial]

I'm not terribly upset about it but it is a funny story to tell while interviewing

[jagged otter]

well, i think im going to go take a nap. i've been studying all day and my head hurts. dunno if its from staring at a monitor all day or what

night

[blazing granite]

at some point yes, but that means zero, because tech change and advance all the time so a CCNA that is expired, it's not the same as a CCNA of today specifically with all the changes that CCNA went through in the later years

[fallen sundial]

Good for you dude, take your well-deserved nap

[fallen sundial]

Aight, not contesting that either. But it looks bad that I had it and they cannot confirm such

[blazing granite]

that's the point you took a cert that is valid for x years passing those years it's like you didn't take it 🙂

[swift ice]

any certification should have a certification/certificate ID attached to it

they’re not region-locked, unless explicitly stated

[blazing granite]

that it means zero if the cert expired, there is no point to keep records of expired certs

[swift ice]

I just joined the conversation, so I wasn’t aware we are talking about expired certifications

and some employers don’t really care

[blazing granite]

for future reference if you want to join a conversation, just take a look of what was discussed 🙂

[swift ice]

sure dude (I already do), but I was reading the part where he/she said they couldn’t verify his/her certification if he/she took the exam internationally, which doesn’t make sense

[blazing granite]

that's my point you should read it all, if you continued reading you would read the part where I told that CCNA is international hence no need to verify and he told that it was expired 🙂

[swift ice]

well, I slightly disagree with the part in which expired cert = worthless

but sure dude, I read it 🙂

[blazing granite]

worthless for companies, but the knowledge remains maybe not relevant right now, but you can make connections that can help you to learn the new stuff faster 🙂

new tech if often base or have some relation with old tech 🙂

[swift ice]

that just depends on the company; there are some companies that will just pay for a certification then don't care if you let it expire, and others care if you had a certification at some point in time

there comes a time when it's pointless to maintain all of your certifications because you have the experience to back it up, but that's another conversation

regardless, continuing education is really just for DoD 8140 compliance; it's a hotly contested topic, especially with the announcement of the OSCP+ last month

[fallen sundial]

Thank you for your contribution to the conversation. I completely agree with you

If companies did not care they would not check.

Guys anyone solve 3rd question in task 4 of the "Gobuster: the basics" room? it is asking about the .js files and I found the files but I can't access them

[blazing granite]

some companies don't care about cert if you can prove your knowledge

[swift ice]

sure, which is where the years of work experience come in

or, just do it the easy way and get a referral 🤷‍♂️

[wraith fjord]

Howdiess

[blazing granite]

I had tests and labs, and simulated situation as part of the interview process 🙂

[swift ice]

some people would just quit right there lol

unless you mean LeetCode-like challenges on CodeSignal or something else

that’s industry-standard for CS/SWE/AppSec roles

[blazing granite]

if you don't have the knowledge for sure 😂 nobody wants to look like a fool or being caught in a lie 🙂

[swift ice]

if a company just gave you a week-long task saying do X, then that’s just exploiting you for free labor imo

[blazing granite]

depends, if you say you know X, but you don't give any certs/degree the company has the right to verify that you really know X

usually is not a week, it's a test/lab an hour or 2 long also usually timed and if you send it after the time given you're automatically out

[neon merlin]

I'm with you. Give me money to do labour.

[swift ice]

an hour or two is fine, which is why the CS/SWE roles use a third-party platform that gives you 4-6 LeetCode challenges for you to solve

that’s just a regular technical test

[neon merlin]

The equivelent in my industry is "Can you come to our school and take a class so we can see how you teach"? lolno I will not be doing free labour.

[neon merlin]

wget it

[blazing granite]

like I said not a week, but it's a process to get a job, you don't ask money for the time spend in the interview 🙂 there isn't money, but your pay is "the change to get a job"

[neon merlin]

Then cat it on your own system

[blazing granite]

but there is a limit if the company takes more than 3 interviews to make a decision I'm out

[neon merlin]

I don't mind a an hour, at my own home, or if they just want me to send something I've already done. (Like in my industry I'll send videos of me teaching and old lesson plans). But I've had schools ask me to plan a lesson for them, then go there and teach it to only potentially get a job. Like nah fuck that.

I'd have the same bottom line if it was a cyber job

[swift ice]

you would hate FAANG or federal government interviews lol

my friend had to go through 8 interviews with the FBI for an internship

[neon merlin]

Someone posted a cyber job ad here the other day which was like 5x 1 hour interviews and a test to get a job at their startup

[swift ice]

average startup job posting

[blazing granite]

I'm speaking from experience I live in Israel the startup nation 🙂 if you didn't make your mind in 3 interviews I would go as far as 4 if the company looks really good, I don't want to work for you.

[neon merlin]

Average Startup: "I'm the CEO, That's the CTO, that's our COO, over there is the CFO. And that's Dave, he does the work."

[south egret]

wheres bob

[blazing granite]

1st phone interview after they got your cv, they get a general feel of you and try to feel some gaps that maybe are in your cv, if they are happy, there is a 2nd face to face interview, on that one they asset if your personality fit with the company, after that 3rd interview is proving your knowledge you have to show that what you say you know on your CV is truth if you pass that, there is no further need for interviews give me the job or GTFO 😂

[regal barn]

at my country, you have 3 interviews for SOC analyst position interviewed at 4 companies all have 3 stages: phone interview, Test and senior Interview, SOC manager interview

[neon merlin]

Don't use anti startup language. Instead of "entire IT department", say "Full stack developer".

[fleet turtle]

i need help

i want to run linux but well, VMs are kinda off the table for me, i want to be able to run it side by side my windows

however

ive heard dual booting can cause issues with the windows bootloader

i need a unix neckbeard to give me some ideas

[sudden bridge]

unix neckbeard 😂

[blazing granite]

if you want to run side by side vm is the only option, otherwise you can run one or the other. Also I had dual boot for years, but with 2 HDDs so I haven't had any issue

[fleet turtle]

virtualbox doesnt really fit my performance needs, and vmware kinda reeks after broadcam acquired it

if im using a 2 TB ssd that has been partitioned, do you think i will encounter any problems with booting?

[sudden bridge]

try kvm

[blazing granite]

virtualbox is shit, use VMware Fusion now is free for personal use

[fleet turtle]

vmware kinda reeks after broadcam acquired it

the signup process is annoying as hell

[blazing granite]

kvm/qemu works great on Linux even faster that any other hypervisor that I've tested but IDK if it can do it on win and its performance

[blazing granite]

I prefer go through the signup process and not use the shitty virtualbox, but it's your PC, your choice. I'm giving my opinion base on years of experience, win vmware, Linux kvm/qemu

[blazing granite]

about the problem with the booting the problem is windows, sometimes after updates, windows write when it shouldn't hence the issue

[sudden bridge]

how is virtualbox bad? like i use it on windows (never used vmware) and it works fine. also helpful to quickly make ova files for ctfs

[blazing granite]

no issue if you use different HDDs/SDDs

[whole yew]

The most stable dual boot I've seen, a friend of mine bought a desktop with hot-swappable hard drive bays. Shutdown, swap drive, reboot.

But you've alraedy said that VMs aren't an option, so good luck with the windows bootloader taking over the UEFI completely whenever it wants.

[fleet turtle]

i guess i will just put it on my hdd then, the only reason i kinda had that off the table in the first place was due to me having a tendancy to break hard drives with literally any vibration

HDD kill count: 3x

[whole yew]

quit listening to Rhythm Nation on repeat, then

[fleet turtle]

im hoping whenever windows decides to step out of line, whatever happens is rectifiable

[blazing granite]

I've been using Linux for a long time, I haven't had any issues using different disks

[whole yew]

It is. But it's a pain to reinstall grub every single time it happens.

Just use a hypervisor instead. You will save yourself hours of rebooting and reinstalling bootloaders.

[fleet turtle]

i guess i will give dualbooting a shot with my hdd and maybe get an external hdd or something too

[fleet turtle]

i will look into it

[blazing granite]

external aren't good for daily drivers. Externals are good for test run as live

[fleet turtle]

external is probably just gonna be for OS i dont intend on using daily but want to test and have some sort of permanence to it, like endevour OS

[azure hill]

I'm rebuilding from spare parts and was just about to use an external as a daily OS for server shenanigans :S

[whole yew]

Depends on the external. If it's a high quality housing and a high quality drive, it can be extremely long-lived. I've had bad luck with most consumer external drives though, I would not buy one of those. Like the WD elements or similar.

[blazing granite]

seagate are the worst 😂 wd element are mediocre but better option than any seagate. I lost a lot of data from a seagate so I'm a bit bias, the irony I used that one as backup 😂 you live and learn I guess

[azure hill]

thoughts on refurbished server drives?

[neon merlin]

You can let the Linux bootloader handle it But general advice would be don't try to dual boot linux on a windows computer if you can't afford to lose the contents of the windows install.
It can be done no issues, but it wouldn't be the first time a new user completely bricked their windows install trying to dual boot. It happens.
Best thing is to use 2 physically seperate drives like mentioned by others.

[blazing granite]

after a year and a half or so (conveniently after the warranty was expired) started to have connection issues, at first I thought it was the cable

[azure hill]

Also note on that; make sure you have your bitlocker key/disable bitlocker prior to trying this

[blazing granite]

I bought a new cable but it didn't help, after a while stop working just like that

[azure hill]

hdd are very fragile 😦

[neon merlin]

Yeah if you have bitlocker disabled and the windows bootloader goes bye bye, at least you can still get your files by booting into linux

[fleet turtle]

Yeah, I will just use my HDD and maybe in time attempt to get an upgraded HDD or an ssd

[blazing granite]

1. that's why backup exists 2) That's why 2 disk option exists 😂

[neon merlin]

I also admit to completely deleting my windows partition the first time I tried to install linux when I was like 14.

[fleet turtle]

I really don't have any valuable data that I can't retrieve elsewhere, but I probably will get something to back stuff up to

[blazing granite]

That's why I pushed for the 2 disk options, but you need to know the hardware of your PC, you can be confuse by /dev/sbxx but you if you know that your hd is xx gb and the other yy gb or you have 1 partition of xx gb and one of yy gb, you can't make a mistake if you know your stuff and you read the info 🙂

[whole yew]

Stay away from refurb drives in general, if you care about the data.

[stoic quarry]

Lmao

[blazing granite]

refurbished is good for testing like a lab, it's a terrible idea for something serious.

[blazing granite]

Also Linux didn't exist when I was 14 😂

[stoic quarry]

I wouldn't put anything I absolutely needed onto a refurbished drive

[blazing granite]

I think you're in the wrong place, nobody cares here. We are here for cybersec not x 😂

[neon merlin]

Damn I was 14 in 2004

[hushed knoll]

That's how horror movies start

[azure hill]

Just started flashing ubuntu, doesn't appear that any scripts have ran yet >.>

[blazing granite]

at the end of the day is your decision, but I wouldn't put any important data on a refurbish, too much risk, and who need the headache when things go pear shape 😂

[azure hill]

Oh nah I haven't got any refurbished drives, definitely was interested in their price tags though

[blazing granite]

price tag, that's how they get you, but an intelligent person would take a step back and think why is so cheap, and then he would realise that the lower price it's not worth data loss.

[blazing granite]

even if we don't talk about HDD, refurbish stuff is a lottery if you're using it for something important you don't want to have that possibility/doubt of failing on you, also the downtime and related issues. Really not worth it for a few quid less 🙂

[azure hill]

not wrong there tbh I've had 0 luck with refurbished phones lasting longer than 3 months

on another note.. I rebuilt this pc from scrap parts and planned to use it for a home server but my 5 year old has claimed it haha

I still can't believe that junior Pentester job requirements in Russia are so low

[arctic pebble]

I wish the requirements were more lenient in the uk, to even get a junior cybersec job over here you need 10 years experience, a degree and have to accept 25k a year

[void zodiac]

They basically just require a person who has understanding of penetration and some basic principles, and that's all.

They don't require a good specialist or something

[void zodiac]

Here they ask for 1 year

[arctic pebble]

Well most jobs can genuinely be taught and idk why companies don’t wanna invest in employees

[void zodiac]

From what I saw in Russia, they expect teaching

yeah I just looked, theres also not many jobs going at the moment either.

Where are you based? There’s plenty where I live because it’s a naval city, majority of the jobs are defence based (which I wanna get into when I’m qualified)

[exotic vector]

from what my brief look on indeed its usually the basic knowledge then a cert from specific places and then 1 to 2 years experience of cyber security assurance

[arctic pebble]

I’ve never understood for a junior Soc analyst, why you NEED to know how to use SEIM tools when that’s kinda the whole point.. they can be taught

[exotic vector]

I live in the North, but I did a search for junior pentester country wide

[arctic pebble]

You might be able to find nice little remote ones through LinkedIn

But then again, 25-30% of job adverts on LinkedIn are data scams

[exotic vector]

im thinking of doing Googles cybersecurity professionals certificate unless I find another free cert to do lol

[void zodiac]

Work in Russia a pentester seems like an easy aim, so good luck to me

[arctic pebble]

Russia has an odd outlook on cybersec I like it

[arctic pebble]

Did you say you were doing CompTIA stuff too?

[exotic vector]

no, I havent looked into it yet but due to my financial situation it has to be free lol

[arctic pebble]

I’d think that too - but a lot of job postings around me require previous experience on them, yet they want to give you the title junior and pay you peanuts

[arctic pebble]

Keep grinding the free stuff, I know of a few training companies that can offer scholarships to people for their career pathways etc

[void zodiac]

Here's some of requirements

[arctic pebble]

||nuyew tech academy|| offer scholarships @exotic vector

[void zodiac]

I think it's very okay

[arctic pebble]

Yeah I wanna get my knowledge up and start my own projects but it’s finding the time whilst managing 70+ hour work weeks rn

[void zodiac]

Yep. Most of the jobs I browse have little requirements, similar to this one

[exotic vector]

my original plan was to learn as much as I can through THM, do some CTFs, learn to do bug bounties and start doing them to gain some kind of experience then make myself a skill based CV. I have also registered my interest in joining a cyber security program ran by the UK.

[sick lance]

So you're transitioning to cyber from nursing?

[exotic vector]

nursing??? did I say something that made you think that xD

na im just throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks tbh lol

[arctic pebble]

Im trying to go from in charge of health and safety on construction sites on the railway to cybersec

[quaint sky]

For now this is what I am doing

[void zodiac]

Is it your responsibility if someone dies?

[sick lance]

I thought you had a degree in nursing/medical/science

[exotic vector]

I have a degree in environmental science

[arctic pebble]

Not my responsibility but I’d be in the line of people questioned

[sick lance]

Close enough.

What makes you want to transition?

[arctic pebble]

Touch wood - in my 6 years no one’s hurt themself at all

[exotic vector]

lack of jobs and opportunities.

[sick lance]

Are you hoping for a certain area of Cyber, or just looking around?

[exotic vector]

im hoping for a foot in the door if that makes sense?
while I am chronically in this discord server I actively look at the different areas, but im mostly concentrating on getting my fundementals down for now

[arctic pebble]

You’re in the same boat as me

[sick lance]

Yeah.

[delicate kite]

@exotic vector did you try army?

[exotic vector]

my partner works so I can dedicate a lot more time to learning. Like im not far through the pathways yet because im doing some extra research into the specific topic im on.

[exotic vector]

im not allowed to join

[delicate kite]

Non-British citizen?

[exotic vector]

besides being neurodivergent, I had asthma when I was a child so that alone disqualifies me

[delicate kite]

Asthma really disqualifies you?

[sick lance]

The army will be opening up their cyber devision to civis soon.

[sick lance]

Yeah?

[delicate kite]

Interesting, even if you are not affected right now by it

[arctic pebble]

You might be a desk jockey but you still are required to pass into the basic training

[delicate kite]

When I do the health application I never check asthma

[exotic vector]

the UK military actually has a huge list of conditions that disqualifies you.

[delicate kite]

Even tho I had it real bad when I was a child

[sick lance]

...That's actually pretty reckless.

[arctic pebble]

My friend got disqualified from the RAF because he was too tall

[delicate kite]

Interesting

[exotic vector]

I dont have it anymore. Because it was found that I had it basically from birth, so by the time I was 7 I no longer needed inhalers or anything.

[delicate kite]

Something like that myself, but apparently it can come back any time

[exotic vector]

but it has given me the worst "superpower" where I can tell when the air quality is not great lol

[south egret]

SANS currently is offering scholarship for non US citizens. You might wanna check it out.

https://www.sans.edu/paller-cybersecurity-scholarship/

[exotic vector]

yeah, like I can do very long hikes but cant run for long without sounding like im some weird creature from Mordor

xD yeah I bet

[exotic vector]

ooo thank you

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @south egret (current: #704 - 6)

[arctic pebble]

I just wanna be able to get into cybersec without exams.. I hate exams

[sick lance]

What about certs?

[arctic pebble]

Talking about CompTIA exams, they’re awful, I’ve always struggled with exams and they take it to the next level

[exotic vector]

I dont mind exams, the 1 type of exam I struggle with is essay exams where you have to remember every possible relevant citation.

[sick lance]

Depending on the department, there is a very strong chance you'll be required to write technical reports.

[exotic vector]

I am pretty good at taking technical information and explaining to someone who doesnt have the technical background

that is the one thing I did know lol

I had practice at university, because we did a lot of field work and a member of the public can come up to you and ask questions.

[stoic quarry]

Giving presentations to clients definitely helped

[slow cloud]

does anyone here have experience with connecting xbox controller over bluetooth to a raspberry pi

[stoic quarry]

Nop

[sick lance]

Which controller?

[slow cloud]

Microsoft series x and S wireless controller

[sick lance]

Ah too new gen for me.

I used this one.

[stoic quarry]

Big ups scrubz

[swift ice]

it’s a special type of skillset to know how to answer exam questions correctly

generally speaking, there is always a key word/phrase that points to the correct answer, and if it’s a multiple-choice question, 2 out of 4 of the answers can be eliminated immediately

for CompTIA exams specifically, the optimal strategy is usually to skip and flag the PBQs, go through the MCQs and MRQs as quickly as possible and answer the “easy” questions, skip and flag all of the questions that you cannot answer in the first 30 seconds, go back to complete the PBQs, complete the MCQs and MRQs you skipped, then review all of your answers if you have the time

[slow cloud]

Steps for Bluetooth looks the same as what i did but for me it just keeps looping. Connected, not connected, connected etc

And package xboxdrv does not exist

[chilly veldt]

I can walk again

[stoic quarry]

Nice

Dreading the day I get a leg sleeve done and have to hobble around

[chilly veldt]

so far it's 3 days after my tattoo is done, though I am in a special situation cause it was 3 days in a row

but the tattoo do be crusty cause it dries quite fast

[rapid merlin]

Where can I ask questions which aren’t about trytohackme? I really meed assistance

Not even CHATGPT can help

[nova escarp]

[rapid merlin]

I‘m trying to figure out why my code can’t find the registry path

The code is right but it just doesn’t wanna find it

[stoic quarry]

What language you using?

[rapid merlin]

Could it be a permissions issue? When I check other folders in the same path, it returns “true,” but this specific folder doesn’t respond

[rapid merlin]

Powershell

[stoic quarry]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/get-itemproperty?view=powershell-7.4
Example 3 gotchu

[rapid merlin]

I‘m managing softwares this year, second year as an apprentice

Leme see

[stoic quarry]

And example 4

[rapid merlin]

It just doesn’t wanna work

Dang it, Windows needs to upgrade their regedit

[stoic quarry]

What's the error

[rapid merlin]

It doesn’t find the path

[stoic quarry]

Gotta give more than "it doesn't work" lol

[rapid merlin]

Yeah I‘m sorry kinda frustrated, I‘m sitting here since 7 am and it’s 10 now

[wanton schooner]

hey guys i meed help in vmware download , i have downloaded this but it isnt showing up in my download folder nd like when i click on this it does opne but when i tried to open it through workstation it doesnnt show up ,pls help

[rapid merlin]

I will elaborate the case rq

[stoic quarry]

You're fine

[stoic quarry]

Download VMware, then open VMware, not the installer for VMware

🤷‍♂️

[wanton schooner]

no its not installer

i have downloaded this

i m trying to open it using workstation

its not showing up there

[rapid merlin]

I’m trying to code a task scheduler in PowerShell that deletes a specific registry folder for each user upon Adobe login. The code itself works, but it just can’t seem to locate Adobe. I even checked other subfolders to see if there might be a different issue, but it finds those folders without any problem. For reference, Adobe is under HKCU:\Software\ and I need it to automatically delete the Adobe folder whenever a user logs in

[stoic quarry]

It's a .7z, unzip it and extract

[stoic quarry]

Sounds like a totally legit copy of adobe lol

[wanton schooner]

thanks a lot

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @stoic quarry (current: #1162 - 3)

[rapid merlin]

Bro idek, it’s my company‘s Adobe

I mean the company I work for

[stoic quarry]

The MS docs I sent just get the dir

[rapid merlin]

Wait you mean they have a fake copy of Adobe?

[stoic quarry]

Probably some way to delete

But if you can't get the itemProperties something probs wrong

Try it with a normal directory and see where your script is wrong

[rapid merlin]

I did

Script is fine, it just doesn’t locate Adobe like I mentioned lol

[stoic quarry]

You can run it on C:\Users

[rapid merlin]

Wdym?

[stoic quarry]

Can you Get-ItemProperty "C:\Users\"

[rapid merlin]

Yes

[stoic quarry]

Might need another flag before the location but I'm on my phone rn lol

Does this example work?

Get-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion -Name "ProgramFilesDir"

[rapid merlin]

The initial reason why we decided to delete the folder upon opening Adobe, was because clients get an error message which states „Data file too complex“

Let me try

[wanton schooner]

hey thnks a lot it worked

[stoic quarry]

Gotchu

[rapid merlin]

Yes

Though, could you define „work“ lol

[stoic quarry]

Lmao at least it didn't error right

So it's picking up registry stuff

[rapid merlin]

Yes

[stoic quarry]

I don't have a regedit handy, is "ProgramFilesDir" a key in that CurrentVersion folder?

[rapid merlin]

I tried the same thing with HKCU:\Software\ but it doesn’t wanna work bruh

[stoic quarry]

Are you selecting a key in the folder or just the folder

[rapid merlin]

The entire folder

[rapid merlin]

No

[stoic quarry]

Looks like it is?

Lol

[rapid merlin]

Oh wait I meant to reply with yes

[rapid merlin]

Can‘t do the same thing with HKEY_Current_Users tho

Adobe is saved in HKCU and in HKLM WOW6432Node

[stoic quarry]

Can you just like...

Remove-Item -Path HKLM:\SOFTWARE\ADOBE\OR\WHATEVER\ -Recurse

Gonna say now, run this in test and don't trust random strangers on the internet. -Recurse will... Be recursive, don't point it at HKLM:\

[stoic quarry]

Just run it for however many folders you gotta delete

[rapid merlin]

Yes I know what recurse does😂 Thanks tho

Imagine I‘d do that

[stoic quarry]

Nah just in case I get blamed for shit haha

[rapid merlin]

I‘m getting fired

[rapid merlin]

No worries

I‘m in a VB anyway

[stoic quarry]

Lol good

Yeah point Remove-Item -Path at any path you need removing and it should do it

[rapid merlin]

Let me write a quick reference code

It gives out an error, „path cannot be found“

[stoic quarry]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/samples/working-with-files-and-folders?view=powershell-7.4

[rapid merlin]

Could argue if -Path is needed after the Test-Path tho

[stoic quarry]

What's your Test-Path tho

[rapid merlin]

Adobe

If it exists, it gets deleted, else write output „folder does not exist“

[stoic quarry]

I'd get rid of line 3 IMO

[rapid merlin]

Hm ok let me try

Morning

I woke up late today

[exotic vector]

good morning !!

[chilly veldt]

saaaaame

[rapid merlin]

It’s almost 10😬

[chilly veldt]

it's almost 11 here

I woke up at 9:27

[stoic quarry]

Lucky

[rapid merlin]

I don’t work 🥹

[chilly veldt]

I called it as sickness is still there

[rapid merlin]

My new phone update allows phone recording

[chilly veldt]

oop

[rapid merlin]

Update released this morning

👀

Yeah it doesn’t work, stupid Adobe cannot be found

About to make a remix on all the scam calls I get

[odd lintel]

hi

[exotic vector]

🤣

[odd lintel]

how much u get a week

[stoic quarry]

But you found it before lol

[sick lance]

How old is your your phone? Lol...

[rapid merlin]

Like 3 months old I think

[stoic quarry]

A wee baby

[remote swallow]

Ola peeps

[rapid merlin]

One of the newest ones you can get

[stoic quarry]

Ello

[remote swallow]

How's going silastic

[rapid merlin]

Also I want to get a second hand Google pixel because I want to try out graphene

[odd lintel]

how to learn to hack is it legal🤓

[rapid merlin]

Is that how you spell it

[stoic quarry]

I was about to ask lol

I've been running Graphene for a while and its p fun

[rapid merlin]

My phone just said no to update because of my battery

[stoic quarry]

Lmao, weird

[odd lintel]

no one gives consent to hack them it would be way better first hack then report

thats ethical

[stoic quarry]

If they have a bug bounty sure

If not then you're in the wrong

Check what's in scope yeah 🤷‍♂️

[sick lance]

Phones have been able to record calls for years.

[odd lintel]

is there like countries where hacking someone is not like illegal..

[sick lance]

No?

[stoic quarry]

You're coming at this the wrong way lol

[sick lance]

This is not ethical

[odd lintel]

nvm maybe its illegal but the punishment can reduce ig

[stoic quarry]

😐

[odd lintel]

yea but i dont know to hack

lol

[vale horizon]

hlo guys!!

[stoic quarry]

Hello

[odd lintel]

hackers in movies are different 😭

they hack everything

hmm i like the topic but don't get enough time i bought a book on networking and barely started it.. busy with other works

lol

[stoic quarry]

My man's is so positive what the hell how do we get like this

[odd lintel]

how did you all start did you guys go for some certification or started as software engineer

[tropic nova]

Wanna hack? learn the fundamentals of networking

[sick lance]

There is different paths to start.

[vale horizon]

what are they

[sick lance]

Same take college, same don't.

Some start with THM/HTB, TCM

[odd lintel]

i am going with software engineering i like to code but hope to try pen testing too

[vale horizon]

whats THM HTB TCM

[odd lintel]

try hack me

hack the box

[sick lance]

TryHackMe HackTheBox not sure what tcm stands for

[stoic quarry]

Does this count as permission

[vale horizon]

oh

[odd lintel]

nooo

[stoic quarry]

Jokes jokes

[tropic nova]

Im on my last year of computer engineering, don't learn much on things that can help with hacking/cybersecurity a part from coding with C or Python and networking basics

[vale horizon]

so u guys have courses on ur website?

[stoic quarry]

Networking is the main part

[arctic pebble]

Learning pathways

Have a gander on there

[rapid merlin]

Oh so it’s ME then 😂 I thought you wasn’t able to record certain phone calls.

[sick lance]

You may need permission though.

[arctic pebble]

Any modern phone you can record calls on easily

[exotic vector]

I should actually learn a programming language, I know enough of the basics that I can look at Python and some others and get an idea of what it does.

[stoic quarry]

Graphene gives you a one time popup that says something about "make sure it's legal!" But... Lol

[odd lintel]

rooms

[vale horizon]

by pressing the record button😂

[rapid merlin]

Python 👆🏻

[vale horizon]

whats the difference?

[odd lintel]

more practical

[sick lance]

You're allowed to record calls for your own use.

It's illegal to share a call with a third party without consent

[vale horizon]

i see

[stoic quarry]

Lol

[rapid merlin]

So say if someone keeps being rude in the council tax department, I’m allowed to record their call ?

[sick lance]

Yes, however to use it against them, you may need to ask for their permission.

See Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (RIPA) for more information.

[tropic nova]

If you go for Python the 100 Days of Code on udemy is good

[livid abyss]

the thing that i hate the most is getting rickrolled by tryhackme and getting an ad right before it

[odd lintel]

i would recommend automatetheboringstuff

[sick lance]

Welcome to YouTube ads.

Portal 2 ass cat

[spare kestrel]

How do I stop the echo😭

[void zodiac]

I feel scammed now

[void zodiac]

Ctrl+c?

[spare kestrel]

Omg thanks

It worked

[arctic cradle]

average mac user

[stoic quarry]

Bit rude lol

[void zodiac]

Ctrl+c stops the process executed in terminal

[stoic quarry]

you just ran cat by itself tbf

[arctic cradle]

not trying to offend the user in any possible way

[rapid merlin]

They never got back to me

[spare kestrel]

Alright

[void zodiac]

Same.

Defcon ticket

[spare kestrel]

I gotta go through what the commands stand for again

[arctic cradle]

you guys are doing tickets?

[rapid merlin]

I think they get too many emails for the company size maybe that’s why

[stoic quarry]

concatenate for cat

[spare kestrel]

Jeah it opens files or something

[void zodiac]

Linux fundamentals cover this and other useful command 🙂

[stoic quarry]

It concatenates stuff yeah

[spare kestrel]

Yess

[arctic pebble]

Are people cheating and losing their tickets or are they just genuinely losing their tickets

[void zodiac]

It's their reply after investigation

[stoic quarry]

People have been losing tickets? Lol

[void zodiac]

I wasn't cheating I believe

[spare kestrel]

How can people lose their tickets

[arctic pebble]

Idk just regarding that screenshot

[spare kestrel]

You sound sure

[arctic pebble]

Or have I misunderstood

[stoic quarry]

Too small for my degrading eyes

[void zodiac]

It shows me that I got a Defcon ticket after completing the room. And when I checked the ticket room, it wasn't there

[exotic vector]

I dont think it covers copy and pasting within the terminal. But all the other commands it teaches you are really useful I agree.

[stoic quarry]

Oh shit

[stoic quarry]

Fingers crossed you get it

[rapid merlin]

So you did get a reply, I didn’t get a reply 😂

I mean my issue is fixed but anyways

[void zodiac]

It covers 🙂

[idle gyro]

Ctrl + Shift + C , Ctrl + Shift + V

[void zodiac]

For example copying files remotely via SSH connection and sending files

I have a screenshot

[rapid merlin]

Some terminals you can ctrl C ctrl V and in some you can right click and paste, they all different

I’m hungry

[void zodiac]

@exotic vector

It's sending so slow

The screenshots

[idle gyro]

right click to paste is the windows cmd prompt

[exotic vector]

oh yeah I knew the command already, if it shows you that in the linux fundementals then my mind probably skipped over it lol

[void zodiac]

How do I send fucking screenshot

[exotic vector]

you can dm it to me

[void zodiac]

Here

[rapid merlin]

Look at this random mushroom growing inside out pot

[stoic quarry]

Eat it see what happens

(Don't)

[void zodiac]

Sending the file to the remote machine and then downloadingit back

[rapid merlin]

It’s poisonous

[stoic quarry]

Maybe don't eat it then

Just admire from a distance

[exotic vector]

I went mushroom picking the other week

[exotic vector]

fair enough xD

[void zodiac]

But now I don't remember how to do it

Lol

[arctic cradle]

you couldn't come up with a better name, could you

[void zodiac]

Short word

[arctic cradle]

could've used cat

[void zodiac]

Which came first to my mind

[arctic cradle]

oh we know why

[void zodiac]

Nope, I'm not rainbow

[arctic cradle]

you're taking this way too serious, I'm messing with you

[void zodiac]

Eh

Can I dm you tho?

[arctic cradle]

sure

[sick lance]

What are you doing?

And why are you using names that can be offensive?

[void zodiac]

Old screenshot, can't change. Wasn't planning to send it here before

Copying file to the remote machine and then getting it back 🙂

[sick lance]

What's the file?

[void zodiac]

Just empty file

[sick lance]

Is this something you're having an issue with?

[void zodiac]

Nope

Just a person asked about, if fundamentals cover it copying files

And I remembered about the screenshot

[idle gyro]

Thats more of a transfer then copying to me tbh

[void zodiac]

Okay, transfer

[arctic cradle]

cp is used to copy a file and you could copy multiple files such as cp firstFile.txt secondFile.txt /path/to/destined-folder/ where the path is where you want to copy the files to (location)

[void zodiac]

But scp is literally secure copying

[arctic cradle]

for whoever needed that info

[sick lance]

Well yeah, because that is the name of the protocol.

[spare kestrel]

Uhh good to know

[sick lance]

Python servers are super useful, and if both machines I'm working have a GUI, I'll use Updog

[arctic cradle]

seen a lot of memes with the updog thing, lol

[void zodiac]

Do I understand right that updog has a better protection?

[exotic vector]

I have saved that as a bookmark for future reference

[sick lance]

It can be used over ssl and set a password.

IT class and everyone got confused, including the professor that I hosted a server via python server 😶, instead of brainfuck with Apache or any other web server

[sudden pond]

I hate it

[exotic vector]

why did they get confused?

[void zodiac]

That GitHub page explains everything about updog🙂

[slow cloud]

apache is great

never had issues

[void zodiac]

Why Linux, how tf did I start a web server , why so easy

[void zodiac]

I just don't want to get into it, as I only needed a local server just to show the site

I'm very lazy

[rapid merlin]

@stoic quarry I figured it out

[sudden pond]

@void zodiac I hosted a server using python but my friend could not access it

[rapid merlin]

I knew it was something with the permissions

Thanks for your effort tho

[void zodiac]

Because it's local?

Were you connected to the same LAN?

[sudden pond]

Hmm! Now i understood

[sudden pond]

Shows that you are an intellignet person not a Schizophrenic

Anyone wants to play some koth in here?

[sick lance]

#koth please

[sudden pond]

NOOOO

[idle gyro]

that chat is dead ahah thought I'd ask here😂

but no worries I'll do so in the future

[idle gyro]

why not coconut

[sudden pond]

its old

[idle gyro]

you're old

[sudden pond]

No new machine

[idle gyro]

ahah yeah you're right

[sudden pond]

A lot of cheat sheets are available

[idle gyro]

There's been firework released but thats about it

[sudden pond]

it kills the fun

[idle gyro]

100% but the fun is not to root the machine but fight other players

[sudden pond]

you are right

what if there were new machines? the fun would then be 200%

Sorry scrubz

for koth discussion

[rapid merlin]

I had a weird dream that’s just coming back to me

[sick lance]

Yeah, I don't think KoTH is played all that much, only seem to see the same people l.

[sudden pond]

I am not having dreams for almost a month

[rapid merlin]

Can’t relate, my nightmares don’t rest 😂

[exotic vector]

what was the dream about?

[idle gyro]

You are right with that but as SAM mentionned new regular machine would encourage people to play it more often I'm sure. But I've already seen this convo many time on here so no need to go down that rabbit-hole I suppose ahah

[sudden pond]

there are only two nightmares i remember

There is a fun part of dreams

[rapid merlin]

I had pliers and was pulling a tooth out. I’ve had issues with the tooth for a while and haven’t heard back from the referral.

[void zodiac]

Is directing people to the more more suitable channels considered mini modding?🙂

[exotic vector]

oh no >.<

[sudden pond]

yes according to jabba bravo

[sick lance]

Yes.

[rapid merlin]

My dreams aren’t fun

[void zodiac]

I love double standards
👉👈

[sudden pond]

what double standards

[arctic pebble]

I’d say it’s being helpful more than mini modding

[void zodiac]

Scrubz confirmed that it's mini modding

[sudden pond]

some kind of disorder?

[void zodiac]

Because usually nobody reacts to directing people 🙂

[rapid merlin]

🙃

What one

[sudden pond]

Do you only have nightmares about your teeth?

[rapid merlin]

No

[sudden pond]

Maybe like falling from a hill or tower

[void zodiac]

So it's prohibited to be helpful this way 🙂

[sick lance]

If that's your take on, that's fine.

[rapid merlin]

Everyone’s had dreams of them falling

[sudden pond]

I remember one

[rapid merlin]

Go on

[sudden pond]

Why the hell, we can remember a whole dream?

[void zodiac]

According to rules mini modding is prohibited and you confirmed that guiding people with questions to channels is mini modding

[rapid merlin]

No one is allowed to mini mod or get involved with anything. You’re meant to just ping ONE mod ONCE

But everyone pings multiple mods and tells everyone off

[arctic pebble]

So you’re not allowed to redirect someone to the correct channel if they’re lost

[sudden pond]

I was travelling with my friends somewhere and suddenly i got on top of a hill and they were all falling down in front of me

[arctic pebble]

I’m lost help me 😭

[sudden pond]

where? In garden

[arctic pebble]

In a car park

[sudden pond]

i can't remember all of it

[rapid merlin]

I don’t think that’s what scrubz meant

[sudden pond]

steal a car and get out

[arctic pebble]

I know haha

[arctic pebble]

I’m stood next to my own car but still lost

[sudden pond]

Google maps

[rapid merlin]

I need to study but I’m procrastinating 🥲

What a post..

[rapid merlin]

That’s not my jet

[arctic pebble]

Emojis were a lovely touch

[rapid merlin]

😆

They lied lmao

[arctic pebble]

👻

[sudden pond]

and why are you doing this

[arctic pebble]

I wish I had a laptop so I could study at work

[rapid merlin]

Buy a crappy second hand chrome book

[south egret]

Its a necessity nowadays

[sick lance]

We've had issues in the past with users sounding.. Not suggestive, when advising on users to use more apt channels.

So now it should be left to moderators and/or admins.

[arctic pebble]

I have an iPad for work but idk if I can do thm on there

[arctic pebble]

I did have one but I dropped a fag on the keyboard and burnt through the keys so I binned it

[sudden pond]

and what if the whole general chat is F**ked up

[sick lance]

It's not really optimised for mobile/tablets tbh.

[sick lance]

Irrelevant.

[arctic pebble]

Yeah I thought that but I’ll just stick to Netflix for now

[sudden pond]

my question?

[sick lance]

The point.

[sick lance]

The state of the chat doesn't change who can apply the rules.

[sudden pond]

but someone can start to post their problems here and disturb the others

[sick lance]

Take last night for example, the chat was chaos, that doesn't mean members can start to minimod.

[sick lance]

Then it's down to mods to to refer users to the correct channel.

[sudden pond]

OKAY

[sick lance]

There have been times also, people asking for help and being told by non mods to use #room-help when the user isn't even doing TryHackMe.

[rapid merlin]

Nah, it’s hard enough on the chrome book. Even on the Chromebook you would need to separate the windows by opening them full screen.

[sudden pond]

Good Point

[rapid merlin]

So I would recommend getting either a second hand laptop or Chromebook.

[sick lance]

Second hand business level Thinkpad is a good suggestion.

[arctic cradle]

Thinkpad are usually best for business oriented environment

[delicate kite]

Facebook marketplace

[rapid merlin]

But fb marketplace is full of scammers

If you go into CEX you know it’s been reset at least

[delicate kite]

CEX, prices are way off at times tho

[arctic pebble]

If you go to cex you know there’s traces of some sort of energy drink on it too

[delicate kite]

You can find the same thing on FB marketplace for half the price

[delicate kite]

HAHAHAH

[keen light]

thinkpad then boot debian ,arch,parrot or kali a lot of companys bought them in bulk and then when they no longer work well with the newest windows version will sell them also so they prices are quite low for the specs

[delicate kite]

CEX is hustling you hard

[rapid merlin]

Ive never heard of thinkpad

[delicate kite]

Its same as chromebook type thing

[delicate kite]

It's all overs in school in UK

Right?

[rapid merlin]

Oh it’s a laptop ?

[delicate kite]

Yeah

[keen light]

thinkpad is the go to laptop for anyone that uses linux in the linux community

[rapid merlin]

I dunno I’m 30 🤣

[devout palm]

Howww

[delicate kite]

https://tenor.com/view/old-man-guy-senior-walker-gif-14925876

[devout palm]

Thinkpad is very popular amongst developer and cyber security folks

[rapid merlin]

I’m almost 31

[jovial wave]

gg

[rapid merlin]

Okay so I’ll look into getting a thinkpad for myself then

[rapid merlin]

Me and my tea

[delicate kite]

Personally I'm not a fan of them, but people do like them

[rapid merlin]

Why don’t you like them ?

[keen light]

they are almost the same price as a raspberry pi + the peripherals and are much better interms of specs

[devout palm]

Really?

[delicate kite]

Well the ones in the academy always used to be fairly bad

I think they buy them lenova thinkpads in thousand bulks and stuff so it's as cheap as they come

[rapid merlin]

Ah okay

[sudden pond]

the ones in academy are always bad

[keen light]

second handishould say

[rapid merlin]

Maybe the model then

[devout palm]

I have a raspberry pi and it doesn't seem to be very useful

[delicate kite]

I guess so

[devout palm]

It's just like a small server in my room

I can do that with a VM

[jovial wave]

ye but tiny computer = cool toy

[rapid merlin]

How much are raspberry pi new ?

[keen light]

raspberry pi are good for hardware projects and anything embedded stuff because the pins but for anything software related THINK PAD

[jovial wave]

under 200 usd i think

[rapid merlin]

I’ve seen them in CEX so cheap

[devout palm]

Raspberry mehhh

Arduino is fine for that

[delicate kite]

Under 100, no?

[jovial wave]

really depends on where u buy it and what it comes with

i dont own one tho

i personally stick to giant gamer pcs

[devout palm]

Should be 100 approximately

With all charging adapter and case

[rapid merlin]

Do you think it’s dodgy buying a second hand pi ?

[sick lance]

Raspberry pi are good

Beagleboard is a good cheaper alternative.

[devout palm]

Wouldn't be so bad ig

[neon river]

hi

[delicate kite]

Is it cheaper?

[neon river]

talking about cheap electronics?

[exotic vector]

seems like it

[neon river]

always gotta get the best deal

[delicate kite]

Something like that

[neon river]

nothing beats the dumpster thinkpad imo

[exotic vector]

think they were talking about 2nd hand chromebooks/thinkpads at first

[delicate kite]

Yes

[rapid merlin]

Then pi

[delicate kite]

wtf

[rapid merlin]

I don’t know what’s going on 🤣

I don’t even know where we are in the room

[chilly veldt]

I just got my payslip for this month, shit looking fiiiiine

[arctic pebble]

[rapid merlin]

[sick lance]

[rapid merlin]

What’s your favourite firewall ?

[devout palm]

iptables

Setting up linux on very old computers feels like heaven

[rapid merlin]

Does tryhackme have a room on osint

[simple valve]

Yes, we have several

[neon river]

I'm fairly sure it does

if not it would be surprising

[rapid merlin]

Nice

I wanna do them

[neon river]
