Are the paths on this page the same for everyone?

[silver sky]

Typing in all caps is considered shouting

[silver sky]

With the exception of testing or business only paths yes.

I'm not your brother 😅 please don't call me that

[tight flower]

How to going back to path lists? I feel stupid but i really no see any button.

[silver sky]

Finally 😄

I am trying for change 10 minutes.

[silver sky]

Yeah no, I literally only allow a select few people to call me that and I would appreciate it if you'd respect my wishes

[exotic vector]

I finally installed a note taking app on my computer. So now I can make proper notes and also my own personal write ups of tasks.

[half badge]

Compared to the vast amount of knowledge even when I learn like 4 concepts of windows or sth (I'm a beginner) it feels like I'll never know even the fundamentals

it can be overwhelming ofc, everyone knows that

[exotic vector]

xD oh no not that again.
from the sounds of it here, theres something going on lots of people outside running around shouting and screaming while fireworks are going off.

[half badge]

Tips?: would you suggest knowing every aspect of linux deeply before moving to windows or learn the fundamentals of linux then windows and advance on your studies with time?

[halcyon horizon]

where can i learn reverse engineering and binary exploitation for ctf's

and also web challenges

[half badge]

Did I say I stopped studying?

[rapid merlin]

I was here 😂

[vocal gale]

Hello everyone!

[half badge]

Not really an excuse. Everyone knows you can never know enough in IT

[rapid merlin]

Nah we had an actual clown problem

[half badge]

But at least I love it so

[rapid merlin]

Clown on the road terrorising people 😂

[exotic vector]

I completely understand, and it can feel overwhelming but even people working in the field and in IT have to search things from time to time. Also are you taking notes? that might help.

[rapid merlin]

Not keen on fireworks

[half badge]

I am of course. It's just that for example when I study a book or a course from thm/htb I get introduced to some things. For example introduced to systemctl command and the options start/stop. But systemd as a process dives deep into how the device boots and everything. I think I should firstly learn the fundamentals of some things (lets say windows mac os and linux) and then dive deeper in some concepts I consider to be important

[silver sky]

I hate them but they are planning a firework fight tonight 😂

[half badge]

Instead of knowing everything about linux in a excessive way but having no idea basic windows functions

[rapid merlin]

Ah hell naw

We used to let off fireworks in school

[half badge]

💀

[rapid merlin]

I say we, they

😂

[delicate kite]

Didn't that all started cuz of the pranks and all that?

[silver sky]

I'm ready 😂

So is the police

[half badge]

Still a beginner I see

[silver sky]

Just gonna beat them into submission

[rapid merlin]

Can’t remember but I’m not scared of clowns anymore

[exotic vector]

yeah, thats what I do.

[rapid merlin]

I just don’t like heights

My phone tried to auto correct heights to huggers. It knows me so well

[exotic vector]

[sick lance]

Hugs make the world go round.

[exotic vector]

they really do

oh @rapid merlin I finished season 1 already lol

[rapid merlin]

Oh nice, how are you finding it

[rapid merlin]

[kind narwhal]

tryhackme didn't understand why you change the IP of VPNs every now and then, I have to change the IP for idebir shell.php.

[sick lance]

Your tun address ony changes if you generate a new script.

[kind narwhal]

How will that happen? For example, I want to change my IP address to 10.9.0.2 because it is my first IP address and it is remembered.

[sick lance]

Get lucky and continue to download as many as you can.

[kind narwhal]

How can I make a thm vpn ip that I want?

[pearl raven]

They are assigned randomly when they are regenerated, so like Scrubz said, with luck, keep regenerating and eventually you may get it. Or I might first 😛

[kind narwhal]

No, that's not the problem, it changes every other day, every 1-2 days, the rope doesn't stop.

[south dock]

if I have a reverse shell to my machine, can I "send" it to msfconsole or will I have to do everything again? I know that metasploit allows you to hijack processes but I am not being able to make it work :(

[pearl raven]

I've only ever had mine change upon regeneration, or using a different VPN (for networks)

[kind narwhal]

OK:/

[pearl raven]

bbs, gotta grab a few more bags of candy before the goblins descend

[half girder]

my car dealer wanted 1.5k for 4 winter tires ... asked a friend, got his price on what he has to pay ... suddenly they are 600 .. that ruined my belief in quality / safety

same tires

[void zodiac]

BBS.. bbs car rims.. uh, my brains are fucked

[void zodiac]

Dealers often try to scam 🙂 and using expensive=quality, om cheap things

[half girder]

putting 100% on it for customer price is indeed scam

[void zodiac]

From what I have seen on reddit, dealers often try to scam people with accessories and repairs

[tropic nova]

Anyone experiencing slow loading of MISP web GUI via docker?

[half girder]

i wasnt expecting that cause i wanted them from the car dealer i got my car from and its a big company.. rather thought it would be a side business to keep customers happy and not ripp them off

[eternal timber]

Exam went well

[tepid linden]

Hi, do you take notes on walkthrough rooms? If yes, how you do it?

[void zodiac]

What exam

[eternal timber]

Probability

[wooden totem]

You missed a critical lore message

[void zodiac]

Good job

[void zodiac]

Huh?...

[wooden totem]

the conversation from yesterday #general message

wait that was today?

[void zodiac]

Yes

It says today

[wooden totem]

I think I have dementia

[sand trench]

yes.... try to format what you learnt from the walkthrough room in your own words

preferably say it out loud after you wrote it too

this way it will stick in your head a lot better

[wooden totem]

this trick never worked on me

[sand trench]

well shadow does it to their pet rock

teaching rocky mc rockface new skills helps shadow

[tepid linden]

How much time you suggest me spending for taking notes?

[eternal timber]

🫡

[sand trench]

enough to write 1-3 sentences

or some keywords

also make a habit of restructuring your notes once a week or month

[tepid linden]

Oh ok, so I don't have to make long notes, only some bullets point

[tepid linden]

Ok

[sand trench]

well that is up to you

but for a lot of people just short bullet points are enough to gather what you learnt

the restructuring can be used to write down longer notes from your bullet points if you wanna spend the time

[tepid linden]

I feel like spending too much time taking notes (for me more than 5 minutes) is a waste of time

[undone dune]

Just wanna say to the crowd, that this cryptography room is giving me a headache. Hope you can relate

[wooden totem]

did someone say cryptography

[undone dune]

Ya. I saw ϕ(n) and thought, 'Oh yeah this is gonna be a long one I know it'

I love home made gifts

[exotic vector]

I did this at uni, its really helpful.

At the moment for thm its all in my notebook usually key concepts and commands I plan on during the weekend doing the write ups.

[sand trench]

yeah shadows uni notes are a ton of bullet points

[exotic vector]

what does the blanket look like?

[exotic vector]

its really useful when I need to look back at something quickly

[exotic vector]

oooo that looks really pretty !!!

[rapid merlin]

She also gave us another pumpkin, a chicken and another animal

[exotic vector]

[exotic vector]

I got a little triceratops that someone made for me

[rapid merlin]

I never forget people like that, it’s so cute 😌

[muted nebula]

I WANT IT😩

[rapid merlin]

And usually if someone gets me a unique gift I keep it forever

[sand trench]

shadows grandmother on shadows fathers side does some crocheting and made some doggo wine bottle thingies... but shadow as a kid saw one in the stages of being made and thought it looked like a petson hat and wanted to keep it for their plushie dolphin

[rapid merlin]

I love these kids of things

[sand trench]

still have that plushie dolphin..... it is kinda aged and slowly falling appart

[rapid merlin]

I have a teddy that was mine when I was a baby ☺️

I keep a lot

[sand trench]

plushies makes life better and more bareable

[rapid merlin]

I also had a toy tiger that I kept from when I was a kid but now it’s belong to my child

She calls it tigey boy

[wild rose]

Shadow helped me pick out plushies from IKEA that are cute and baby friendly

[rapid merlin]

I have a dinosaur plush I got myself from ikea

[wild rose]

They're really cute it was hard to choose just 1.

[rapid merlin]

I really like the squish-mellows you can get now

[wild rose]

from Ikea?

[rapid merlin]

Nah I mean in general

[wild rose]

oh yeah my nieces were really into squish-mellows.

[rapid merlin]

They’re nice to use as pillows

[wooden totem]

I like using blanket as a pillow

[hidden ember]

Is the top person having the highest point because it was first solved by that user?

[wild rose]

yes

[umbral bay]

Indeed, those are called blood points. For a challenge, answering a question gives 30 points. For the first person to answer that question, they'll receive an additional 50 points: 80 points in total.

It won't run distros. Then I reinstalled Vbox, and it was fine

Now after I restarted the laptop it doesn't want to run any distros

[winged summit]

dang man

that sucks

can you dig up any errors?

like in the vbox logs?

sounds like maybe a conflict with another application or something? that's interesting....

As I said, before it was working.. then one day it stopped

Reinstalled yesterday, everything was fine. Launched today, nothing works

It's weird af

What you should be doing is buy another cpu, preferably a cheaper one, and every time when you switch to virtual machine you take your regular cpu out and put it to rest in it's original static-proof container so it doesn't get overwhelming by the new environment, and put in the new cpu with whatever smudge of thermal paste is left from the regular cpu

[tepid furnace]

it's almost time to trick or treat

If I worked somewhere and I got to do phishing / malware awareness I would 100% be handing out usb sticks

can I breed them and get a 3d CPU, just like in Minecraft? And do i feed the cpu cub with thermal paste?

[wooden totem]

Only a qualified technician is allowed to breed CPUs, you saw what happened with the 13th+ gen Intel deformities

Can it be the issue? That I put files with distros there, in Oracle folder?

[winged summit]

not sure. i don't think so, but you could try using a different location to see if that fixes it.

actually. it might be... due to file permissions, depending on UAC settings and your user perms

due to the directory location

[dusky bone]

Hello all, I would like to ask for opinions and ideas. I am unemployed and strugglin to get into work. IT is the field just incase you didn't guess. It would seem that there is little opportunity for people to get the experience, learn and meet people in a similar area. So I thought that rather than sit around I would prefer to start something that would provide that space to like minded people. Like a Maker space, but for people into IT and cyber. Does anyone know of a space like this? or group that is currently doing something similar in their area?

[winged summit]

like \users\user\vbox stuff

it's like the room is broken or something

Sometimes they do get updated by the room’s author, yes

This is to patch some existing vulns and new 0-day vulns that deviate from the intended path

[quiet ingot]

Is tryhackme is really recommended for beginners? Because I still find it a little complicated??

[simple valve]

We have our new Cybersecurity 101 path which takes you to all the necessary pre requisites in Cyber

https://tryhackme.com/r/resources/blog/new-cyber-security-101-path?utm_source=discord&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=cybersecurity101

We also have the #pre-security-legacy-path if you feel like you need some practice before tackling on cyber concepts

Most of the time from what I see, people usually don’t have a solid fundamental knowledge on concepts like networking, OS like Linux and Windows, applications and whatnot which makes it hard to grasp next-level concepts which are typically associated with Cyber

So while you work on diligently doing TryHackMe, its also good to brush up on your networking (Cisco has free courses on this), Linux and Windows, Application, HTTP, and coding

You don’t have to be good at them, you just need to understand them well enough that you can piece together other information when you try to study on the next level

[quiet ingot]

Okay tyy and i have another question, I want to downald Kali Linux to do something but I honestly don’t know how kali linux work, so if someone can explain it to me, because I can’t find a video that explain it well !!!

[quiet ingot]

Okay Thank you so much

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @simple valve (current: #20 - 427)

[quiet ingot]

I Will do that

[sinful moon]

I mean it’s a Linux distro like any others, but it includes basically all the tools you’ll need for infosec out of the box. If you’re not quite ready to install a distro in a VM just for TryHackMe, you can use the included AttackBox Linux distro in browser

Otherwise we can help, but it’s good to learn the basics first. THere’s rooms which teach you just how to do fundimental Linux things

[quiet ingot]

Because I wanted to install a thing on GitHub and it tell me that I need to clone it with Kali Linux but idk how to do it so I Give up

But

Thank you so much

[sinful moon]

Yeah I’d wait until you have a bit more experience tbh, when getting started, the in browser AttackBox will be more than enough

Nothing wrong with doing some research just take it one step at a time, Sounds like you’re on the right track!

[quiet ingot]

Thanks youuuu

[neon merlin]

@sinful moon I installed arch last night (btw)

I'm taking a photo because whoever packaged plasma decided it was more important to include an emoji keyboard than a screenshot app and it was already midnight by the time I got to this point.

[sinful moon]

I mean it’s literally like kde-screenshooter or something. Actually it probably has a more silly name, but yeah that’s kind of the point of Arch

it’s not actually a base KDE app, you have to decide how to flesh it out

[neon merlin]

Yeah it didn't even have a terminal the first time I booted, or a file manager

Had them emojis tho

[sinful moon]

but also at a bare minimum, the scrot command line utility will take screenshots for you

KDE has a ton of moving parts, but the Arch Wiki page more than spells it all out

can pick and choose what to build out to your hearts content

[neon merlin]

I wouldn't even call it that hard to install. Tedious is what I'd say. Copying commands from arch wiki for 3 hours.

[sinful moon]

To be fair you’re doing more than that

[neon merlin]

It installed more smoothly than when I tried Ubuntu in 2006

[sinful moon]

you’re learning how and why each part fits together

lol that’s fair

although I got my start on Ubuntu in 2006 and it was pretty smooth and quickly went to Ubuntu minimal (server) installs before hearing about this thing called Arch in 2008 lol

[neon merlin]

I was fully ready for stuff like hangs on boot, hangs on shutdown, failing to launch the DE. I've had this experience with Ubuntu (granted almost 20 years ago) and Kali. But it worked fine

[sinful moon]

lol here’s a screenshot of my Openbox setup in 2008

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/680459914828972076/1007122550951792771/unknown.png?ex=6724ee37&is=67239cb7&hm=2f8167f8147ba11a73f3412900f1b9a740d0b592fd49c11e3f6dfa56537c1fc3&

dat 1600x1200 LCD even then was whew

lol even including scrot as mentioned

[neon merlin]

And I did learn something new. Cause I did manage to break something in the first 10 minutes. Switching to a login manager theme that is not installed but plasma allows me to choose it anyway. So its just a black screen instead of login.

I learned that the computer isn't broken you can get into tty and just start running commands. I never used tty before.

[sinful moon]

yep! fantastic experience

and honetly just best way to learn computing more generally, if somethings broke, figure out why and done

[neon merlin]

just login to my user in tty and start-plasmawayland. I think some people even prefer to do it this way. Rather than use a login screen

[sinful moon]

yeah you don’t have to use a display manager, they look pretty but I literally just did startx for over a decade lol

kinda appreciated booting straight into the tty for both troubleshooting and also memories of a summer where I used nothing but TTY on a beautiful Sony Trinitron CRT back in high school

lol I had everything I needed back then, my music app, my instant messaging, web browsing and more

with screen back then or tmux these days, aka terminal multiplexers, aka basically terminal window managers, you could do tons with a single tty or ssh

still critical to even my job since I use tmux while remotely administrating my Linux servers. And when you accidently disconnect from ssh, this sessions stays open to reconnect to

[neon merlin]

now I need to look into plymouth to get a nice boot up and shutdown.

[sinful moon]

lol but why hide all the amazing boot scroll text?

Plus these days they flash before your eyes in 5 seconds lol

[sinful moon]

It’s probably because they’re trying to insert it diagonally

[boreal scarab]

[neon merlin]

I'm not sure if it's accurate but I decided to plunge into arch in the end just because it seems plymouth and hyprland are designed for arch. Or thats what I got from most of the documentation and guides being written by arch users.

[sinful moon]

Also anatomically incorrect USB plug, the two divots should only be on one side anyways

[crude stump]

Ngl nothings more annoying when your trying to look up a room on google and the only thing you get is 100 different stupid write ups on that room

[sinful moon]

Plymoth and (i presume hyperland as well) are Fedora projects

Fedora does lead a lot of new Linux efforts and usually when they adapt them I do as well

but I have 0 need for Plymoth

I wanna see the awesome text scroll of Linux boot every time lol

PipeWire however is one I adopted as soon as Fedora made the switch

[neon merlin]

It's not necessarily the removal of the scrolling text. But my computer flashes a lenovo logo on the screen on boot and shutdown. I was told plymouth can change that.

[sinful moon]

That’s actually a logo set by programing UEFI API stuff, yes it can change it but also like who cares?

That’s just for the UEFI boot side before Linux starts

[neon merlin]

Also the 5 second text is funny because I've seen plymouth configs where they have to specifically slow the boot down to show a logo animation

things just boot too fast now lol

[sinful moon]

Yeah Plymouth doesn’t actually make as much sense as it did when it came out

I remember even in the late 00s I was getting like 15 second Linux boots on HDD

now it’s kind of just insane how fast Linux boots

of coruse however, this scales depending on distro and how many freaking daemons you’re loading

[neon merlin]

I tried encrypting my drive this time when I installed too, never tried that before.

So you have to type a password into tty on boot

[sinful moon]

full LVM stuff?

yea

[neon merlin]

yeah

[sinful moon]

if you’re comfortable with that and etc, no need for the display manager then

although I would recommend you setup your startx aka ~/.xinitrc if you’re still using xorg to actually load your command so you can ensure you export your profile and etc

if you’re on wayland than ignore me

[neon merlin]

Yeah I just have wayland I think

Right now after I type the decrypt password in tty the KDE login manager automatically loads.

[sinful moon]

yeah literally no idea, you should know what you installed there lol

if you did ArchInstall, even then I can’t tell you, and you cheated yourself slightly

[neon merlin]

The only DE I have is plasma-wayland. But there might be some X stuff in the package I installed.

[sinful moon]

Nah then you’re Wayland for sure, yeah no worries

the xorg stuff is for XWayland fallback

[neon merlin]

plasma-meta is supposed to be more "complete" than plasma-desktop. But like I said there's not even a terminal or a file manager in the meta pack

meta is what I installed

[sinful moon]

Yep it’s the literal base install of KDE lol

[neon merlin]

So I can't imagine how stripped down plasma-desktop is

[sinful moon]

instead of desperate KDE components. There’s a ton going on in the KDE ecosystem that all builds up on it

[neon merlin]

I've never used KDE so thought it was time

[winged summit]

haha. no prob man. glad it's working 🙂

[sinful moon]

It’s grown on me quite a bit, I used to hate it lol

[molten solar]

Holy wow guys.. Got this email update

Linode deployments and Block Storage attachment failing in 11 data centers: Identified

11!!!!

[sinful moon]

I was always much more on significantly more minimal Linux setups, and eventually settled on XFCE as my main, but yeah Qt has always been great and KDE has made great strides in reducing RAM use and more

[neon merlin]

Back in 2006 when I first heard of this "linux thing" it seemed like KDE was the one trying to be windows and GNOME was the Mac. Now they both have their own style.

[molten solar]

@sinful moon Did you ever try nextstep/afterstep ?

[winged summit]

i'm gonna switch to XFCE. i'm on plasma right now

[molten solar]

WindowMaker for the win .... all the beauty of the wharf, but none of the fishy smell

[sinful moon]

Yep, in VMs and more, although I can’t say I tried the *Nix DE inspired by it

Yeah WindowMaker

I think I may have an old screenshot handy

[molten solar]

I haven't pursued wmaker since hte force wayland

Yeah, the "Spinning up a new window, please define its constraints" manager there

[sinful moon]

I apperently have the 1-2-3 punch of *nix Apple in my screenshots ready lol

last two were in qemu

[molten solar]

Seriously bad day to work at linode infra

[neon merlin]

Why did we all decide that beige computers and blinding white environments were the best thing ever back in the 90s?

[winged summit]

here's my Plasma setup.... just took this one...

[sinful moon]

Paper and the desktop metaphore

[neon merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/terrified-gif-20945782

This is me when lightmode theme now

[molten solar]

@neon merlin Well a true black pixel gas a lot of bits to transfer info!

[winged summit]

Look away Marian!!!

lol

[sinful moon]

It was extremely innovative that WYSIWYG Word Processors existed and could show something resembling paper finally, and it more than stuck

Although white on blue was also quite popular before we adopted this all white/grey UI experience as well

[molten solar]

I think wordstar is a GREAT stepping stone to latex

[jagged otter]

I have an asus proart monitor. it has pretty nice color

[sinful moon]

ok?

I have an LG C3 TV with REC:2020 HDR support (HDR/HDR 10+/Dolby Vision) that I was using to play games today. That is actually a game changer going beyond sRGB

[neon merlin]

I guess I understand what a HOOK is now too so the 3 hours of wiki following wasn't a complete waste.

And what mkinitcpio is

[molten sky]

KDE >

[crude stump]

Tryhackme on phone is god awful

[sinful moon]

I don’t mean to brag but there is a difference between good sRGB color reproduction and full on HDR

[molten sky]

bUt BlOaT

[sinful moon]

Nah they improved on it massively

[molten sky]

kde 6 is awesome

[sinful moon]

RAM idle matches XFCE most often

[winged summit]

yep. that's why i'm switching to xfce

[molten sky]

pain

[sinful moon]

well that’s not idle lol

but I also can’t complain with the XFCE switch above

I am an XFCE lover, but slow pace can be painful

[winged summit]

dang chief, what you got going on using 26 GB? lol home labbing? haha

[molten sky]

i disabled swap cause dumb and i regularly have to watch my mem usage cause i've built a habit of over utilization and crashing

[molten solar]

So i have a USB Battery here of unknown parentage. The only things they state , were 1) It's safe, and 2) IT's thin.

I know it can't run a 2amp heater element for 6 hrs. So it has to be less than 60wh/12ah . Wondering about the best nondestructive way to pen this down without ordering extra gear

[neon merlin]

If you install KDE on Arch you don't even get a terminal, a file manager, or a clock hows that for lightweight!

[sinful moon]

lol never disable swap unless it’s a server, and even then consider it if it’s low risk stuff

[molten sky]

believe it or not my containers only run several gig when idle --- it's all the other bs that i do at once

[sinful moon]

just do a swap file instead of swap partition

so much better

[neon merlin]

I set my swap partition to 1GB and only realised later 4GB is recommended. How screwed am I?

[winged summit]

this is my current setup. got the widescreen downstairs, but i'm only gonna use that if i have to for work. trying to keep things simple.

[sinful moon]

it’s honestly not a big deal depending on how much RAM you have, the proprotion is based on how much RAM you actually have

that’s why I like swap files that dynamically adjust to the correct size tbh

[neon merlin]

Well I'm not even sure, I went away from archwiki to do the encryption stuff. And that guide had me create the 1GB swap but not even format it as Linux swap

[sinful moon]

instead of a pre-alloted partition

[molten solar]

Remember, in the old days, you were lucky to have 512mb or even 1GB of ram. so swap was kind of essential.

[boreal scarab]

Alien!

Also. RESUME!

[winged summit]

yessir. busted lol

[molten solar]

My first mail server that i maintained has ... a 340mb boot drive

[winged summit]

@boreal scarab i am using alient technology

i am from the other place

lol

[sinful moon]

The moment I installed 1GB RAM into my iMac G3 on MacOS 9.2.2 it alerted me that swap is turned off now because I have too much damn ram lol

[boreal scarab]

I like to snoop 👀

[molten solar]

Boot, mail spool, everything. in 340 megabytes

lol where have you been with all my love for retro tech

I want a 486 DX2 66Mhz specifically very badly lol

[molten solar]

hmmm

[sinful moon]

I have Pentium III and early P4 covered well

[molten solar]

I think ih ave a DTK mobo

[sinful moon]

also Amiga 500 c:

[molten solar]

[winged summit]

here's a sneak peak: i mounted it for you lol

[molten solar]

err .. slot 1 mobo for pentium era

it's a celery 300a

[sinful moon]

Nice yeah I got the slot 1 PIII, I upgraded from 500Mhz 1st gen PIII to 700Mhz 2nd gen PIII

[molten solar]

the 486 is a DTK 486

but the bad news, it needs new caps

[sinful moon]

was a massive massive improvement in retro gaming performance

@molten sky Does it also contain milkdrop ?

[molten sky]

not sure, i don't have it personally

[boreal scarab]

Oooh yah

[sinful moon]

milkdrop is the opensource re-creation of the same tech

[molten sky]

asked if anyone has it 🤷‍♂️

[sinful moon]

unless I got myself backwards

[molten sky]

i'm sure someone does

[winged summit]

that's the threat model use case. that drive is used in emergencies where all my physical belongings (laptop, drives, phone, etc.) are stolen. it's an emergency micro SD card that i hide in a specific location. i was performing a recent backup to it

[sinful moon]

I routinely plug in the original WinAmp visulizers into Foobar2000 for my personal use case

[molten solar]

I have a winamp visualizer that is a shoutcast stream to disk plugin. It was hte only foolproof way to record those things

[boreal scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/taking-notes-write-down-notes-writing-memo-gif-17395025

Should backup my 2fa

[winged summit]

always a good idea

[molten solar]

The data obj one that doesnt show a ui .. kept glitching. but the one that works from teh visualizer plugin (i know, not the definition of visualizer) was flawless

[sinful moon]

Just yeah the open source version which I believe is called MilkyDrop is not perfect

you do kinda need the original DLLs which the foobar2000 plugin I use, does require

[molten solar]

I recorded fluffertrax.co for the betterpart of 6 months with that plugin

[jagged otter]

would the number 5 look like this in binary 00000101?

[molten solar]

@jagged otter No need for leading 0's unless you are casting them larger

[winged summit]

yeah, i got a separate keepassxc database just for 2FA and emergency documents.

[molten solar]

@winged summit Try passbolt .. it's incredible

[jagged otter]

well, i was doing as part of an ip addy

[molten solar]

@jagged otter Well that'd be larger (2^32)

[winged summit]

eh. i'm happy with keepassxc. but i'm curious how passbolt compares and how long it's been around

[sinful moon]

lol use the binary to decimal here, if you trust the GCHQ, otherwise host Cyberchecf yourself: https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/

[outer rivet]

This is nice

[molten solar]

@winged summit You available for a screenshare/chat ?

god I wish, you have already learned how to press my buttons and that’s halarious

[versed hinge]

what about a Binford 1200 laptop

[winged summit]

yeah. i just use defaults. i'm not a highly targeted individual. my primary use case for the encryption is just common theft. i've uploaded copies of my stuff to cloud locations owned by major vendors. if the government wants my stuff, they could probably get it.

[jagged otter]

so easy to get social engineered

gonna close my window for some peace and quiet lol

[boreal scarab]

I'm not a highly targeted person either. But hey, I like my encryption. Testing it out now, see how it is

[winged summit]

#oldman

[winged summit]

nice! first time using veracrypt?

[sinful moon]

Yeah I see little reason not to do full disk encryption on all devices these days. If all your phones and etc are doing it, might as well do so on device

even for personal

[boreal scarab]

Yeppers

[wild rose]

That reminds me I need to let my cat back in and walk the doggo.

[boreal scarab]

Exactly! And on windows, all bitlockered up

[winged summit]

nice. i love veracrypt. i learned about it in the Extreme Privacy book by Michael Bazzell

the containers are great

easy to backup

[sinful moon]

mhmm, it’s kinda silly that my Linux installs were the last I encrypted

[winged summit]

brb

[crude stump]

I never let my cat outside during Halloween

[boreal scarab]

Wait, is that the same guy who did the OSINT book?

[sinful moon]

lol we never let out cat outside at all

[boreal scarab]

Think I got his privacy one, haven't read it yet

[sinful moon]

she’d kill like 20 bird a night, freaking predator

[wild rose]

Ashton is an outdoor cat also a predator of anything that moves.

[sinful moon]

but yeah also for her own safety and she’s just an indoor cat now

[crude stump]

My reason is because cats have a bad reputation during Halloween

Well mainly black cats but people are cruel non the less

[boreal scarab]

Now, do you just bitlocker main drive, or all drives, Elizabeth?

[winged summit]

yeppers

[sinful moon]

We adopted her as a rescue when she was like 1 year old and kept her as an indoor cat, but more than kept her claws, since that’s been a big change in the last 20 year

[winged summit]

there's some good stuff. but frankly i don't use most of it. it's too much of a hassle.

but i like the encryption/password/backup and OS stuff, etc.

[blazing granite]

never let the cat out the bag 😉 😂 😛

[boreal scarab]

Even my VM's in prod are full disk encrypted

[sinful moon]

Me? I currently don’t share drives between OSes because I have a dual boot laptop with Windows and Linux with an NVMe each, each encrypted. Back when I had a desktop main, I’d keep one drive unencrypted NTFS shared between then

[wild rose]

bag cats are a dime a dozen.

[sinful moon]

so yes all are encrypted in my current laptop

[wild rose]

they need to be let out once in awhile.

[boreal scarab]

But man, my ADHD mind is just "There's so much to do, how do I know this backup is good, what if there's a fire? All is gone? My server? What if I put it in a datacenter, and that datacenter goes out of business?"

[sinful moon]

only thing I’d have on that unencrypted drive was media or games though lol

btw yes your Steam Linux library will work fine on NTFS

[sinful moon]

That’s why you always stick to the 1 2 3 model of backups?

on-site, off-site, cold storage or another provider

[winged summit]

if you want, i can share my strategy. basically: 3 backup USBs, a backup microSD, and a cloud backup.

USB 1: Hard drive failure use case. This one is frequently backed up with my latest stuff because i keep it conveniently close by. it's for if my hard drive fails.

USB 2: Fire. In my location, fires are the most common natural disaster. i keep the fire backup off-site in case my home burns down. i previously had it in a fireproof safe rated for 1 hour, but i gave that away.

USB 3: Theft. A regular USB drive I hide in my house. In case of a home burgularly/invasion, I can quickly restore all my data.

MicroSD: Hidden inside of a hollowed out nickel. I won't disclose where I keep this backup. Kind of like my 2nd to last worst case scenario.

Cloud Backup (container and separate KeepassXC files): a free public cloud account that will maintain access for about a year or two without any activity. no payment required. if i lose everything, and have to move, etc. i can simply login to the service (no MFA on purpose) and download my encrypted container with all my data and the separate passwords and MFA database files for keepassxc.

[boreal scarab]

Holy paragraph batman

[versed hinge]

hey guys, i downloaded kali-linux-2024.3-installer-amd64.iso. but when i double click it, it just opens winrar, and none of the files inside work. how do i install it?

[winged summit]

i actually wrote a blog post on it @boreal scarab

https://danielstephengilbert.medium.com/personal-password-management-81c277cd8e40

[sinful moon]

lol than this USB model isn’t going to work for you much like it doesn’t with our nearly 50TB of data, may need to go commercial depending on your aims, or just make periodic drive clones

[sinful moon]

Why do you prefer KeePassXC over Bitwaren?

[neon merlin]

Having a rock solid backup plan:

Having nothing of value on your computer:

[winged summit]

it's very simple, easy to use, and doesn't require cloud hosting or complex self hosting

[crude stump]

That’s some spy stuff

[winged summit]

thanks man. i wish i was that cool! haha

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @crude stump (current: #67 - 119)

[sinful moon]

Bitwarden provides their own cloud hosting, it doesn’t need to be self hosted

[crude stump]

I mean you got everything planned out

It is THAT cool

[winged summit]

yessir! i try my best man. thanks 🙂

[sinful moon]

And I feel Bitwarden is pretty easy to use, but I’m figuring that out with our end users atm lol

out first org to roll it out to was really recpetive and wanted it

[winged summit]

i just like knowing where all my data is. and i don't want it on the internet, unless i control the exact file hosting location, heh. hence keepassxc

[sinful moon]

That’s fair but you’re also at liability business wise to ensure that’s constantly updated and maintained, and paying for the infrastructure while hosting sensitive credentials belonging to firms other than your own

[winged summit]

yeah, i just use this personally. it's not for employees, etc. i don't run a business or anything

[sinful moon]

Fair enough, I meant professionally I guess

I do use this personally as well and see no issues with using their services

[winged summit]

that's cool

[sinful moon]

yearly pentests with full transparency, fully open source, idk it’s good stuff

[winged summit]

bitwarden is legit, i just prefer keepass for my personal stuff

[pearl raven]

I certainly agree, I use keepass for personal stuff. I don't use it for work.

[sinful moon]

Yeah no worries, I just wanna hear more specifically why if you have a reason lol

[winged summit]

i also have used it for work, but it was for a small business where they were flexible with what i used.

[sinful moon]

I’m sometimes the person who has to “sell” this product

[winged summit]

all my passwords are in passwords.kdbx. all of my mfa are in mfa.kdbx.... i don't have to guess where the data is, and i have 100% control. nothing is on the network unless i put it there. that's why

[sinful moon]

To be fair that’s true of this as well with an encrypted local database, but fair. They have cloud retention of these Databases. Just would not be able to sell a self hosted or local only solution to our clients

[sinful moon]

Thank you

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @winged summit (current: #105 - 70)

[winged summit]

i understand. keepassxc is probably not a good corporate choice

i would probably use bitwarden for corporate

[sinful moon]

Yeah this was a decent balancing act between open source/secure/and awesome, while also being marketable so I was curious

[winged summit]

yeah. bitwarden gets my vote for business use case for sure. from a management perspective

just for all the reasons you pointed out that i'm also reasonably confident are true based on my research and word of mouth

[sinful moon]

mhmm UI is just about my only complaint but that only comes with scale, and that’s improving too

It’s only when you’re a Managed Service Provider like us which retain a lot of admin credentials that it gets a bit more insane to the point of, no look in the organization vs just doing the autofill

[winged summit]

yeah. no, keepassxc is not built for that, at all. lol

[sinful moon]

yeah lol, Bitwarden is only barely built out on that. It does have professional stuff, but potentially doesn’t scale to an entire MSP org with a stupid amount of credentials. We shall see tho. I found it to be better than our previous methods

which were totally not just excel sheets in sharepoint shh

[winged summit]

yeah. i .... know what you mean, hahaha

[simple valve]

At least the Excel sheet is password protected… it is right?

[sinful moon]

yeah it was the most cringe thing I ever saw when I joined this company lol

so if nothing else yes I am making things better, but this was a major like shift in our org vs just securing one of our clients which I could do easily

[winged summit]

nice, that's super cool

[sinful moon]

For sure, it is wild working at small and scrappy MSP firms, I’m just kinda the infosec everything lol

In my first year lol I found a literal OSINT to General Manager to Domain Compromise vulnerability. Nope nope. We rotated all passwords for that org because holy crap

[simple valve]

Security through guardian angel

[sinful moon]

it was literally [yearemplyed]companyname

[simple valve]

We’ve never been hacked so we’re secure

[swift ice]

aware

[sinful moon]

lol the one time we were I warned management in charge of our infra three times until it actually did happen. Thankfully they instantly shut it down due to my warnings about what IOC looks like

Was painful to see the update was painless and took like 5 minutes….. like that’s what we were concerned about?

Proof of concept is now out there and being exploited is not an “alright I’ll do it tonight” response lol

lol sorry I’m bitching, just spooky IT stories for Halloween

[mortal oyster]

Hello everyone, I just won this "Cyber Crusader" but I dont know what it is.

[sinful moon]

Also it’s because you completed the Cyber 101 rooms, or whatever they’re called c:

[mortal oyster]

I got it know

thx

[sinful moon]

Nice nice! And yep, you’re also lighter green than me on 0xD rank lol. The coloring on this discord is silly but you got it c:

From now on the bot will additionally update your THM rank once daily

[mortal oyster]

I dont know what that means lol

[sinful moon]

lol your green is slightly lighter than my 100s of hours of THM green so I’m just being salty for no reason. You’re fine c:

lol imho THM needs to get an actual graphic designer to redesign the color ranks on a more sensible and less confusing scale

[winged summit]

we're peasants now Elizabeth. just accept your place in the new social hierarchy, LOL jk jk hahahah haha

[sinful moon]

lol you’re not wrong

[winged summit]

LOL

[mortal oyster]

HAHAHA

[winged summit]

hahaha ;D haha

[sinful moon]

I need to apparently take the most basic track to catch up which will also supersede my 0xD?

[winged summit]

dunno lol

[pearl raven]

Yes, for the duration of the event, you will have the Cyber Crusader rank which overwrites 0xD

it will also lock you out of the advanced channels.

[mortal oyster]

I think this tittle i just won means something more important lol

[sinful moon]

Oh they’ll put it back lower after?

oh wait what lol

[winged summit]

i think it shows you put in some hard work to earn it most likely. good job man.

[pearl raven]

I believe that this is the case.

[sinful moon]

wait that makes little sense, please explain, did they really design the permissions that way

[mortal oyster]

I won from the tickets haha

[sinful moon]

ouch

[winged summit]

hahahaha

nice

heck yeah man

free lunch lol

[sinful moon]

Yeah I don’t wanna loose #advanced-general and etc lol

[winged summit]

but don't you want that shiny green? lol

you know you want it lol

hahaha

[sinful moon]

lol it’s so pretty but I can maintain

[winged summit]

hahaha

nice

well played lol

ohhhh man... i should probably eat something or something.... hrmm...

[sinful moon]

That is just about the only complaint I have with this discord, the colors per roles ratio is insane an not well thought out lol. Most of them are far too similar

just pick like a nice 32 color pallet or something and do custom hex

retro computing colors would give you plenty

[winged summit]

you ... definitely wear the pants around here when it comes to color expertise. i don't know anything about graphic design lol

all i know is that i'm green! lol

[sinful moon]

Oh yeah lol I nearly went into it, I do know PS and Ai quite a bit, although lol those are ironically falling out of favor with all of Adobe’s shitty moves

[winged summit]

haha

[sinful moon]

Just been using them since easily 2002

[winged summit]

that's cool. i used photoshop back in the day, but fell out of it after high school basically

realized i was more into coding

[mortal oyster]

same here

[sinful moon]

Yeah I can’t lie, it’s been since 2016 since I used PS seriously, but even then it was clear I wasn’t going into graphic design as intended

I just wish I had more motivation to do it myself anyways

[winged summit]

that's cool. i mean. if you're not motivated, you're probably not into it?

[sinful moon]

I just need dem rulers and guides, which hey, Affinity Photo 2 does offer on iOS unlike Adobe lol

[winged summit]

ahh, hmm.... interesting. oh wait, is it a cost thing? i know adobe is like... you basically have to sell your organs lol

[sinful moon]

lol my last time, well I made several similar when I was sober but yeah I had some additional inspiration lol

I’m kinda all about this kinda trippy mirrored art, kaladosopic like

[winged summit]

whoa!

nice!

[sinful moon]

lol thanks, yeah kinda all about this kinda vibe

[winged summit]

that's super awesome

[sinful moon]

and um 95% public domain, sush on the 5% other percent lol

[winged summit]

haha, for sure

so it goes

[sinful moon]

US Government media is all public domain so retro national park photos are more than up for grabs, the NASA space ones get tricker. Most are public domain but some are not

[winged summit]

gotcha. interesting

hey, Elizabeth, i really need to eat something, haha. i'll be back in a bit. gonna heat up some food

[sinful moon]

Sounds good, no worries!

Also lol you bet I did actually manually did every triangle in the serpisnki fractal set myself in with the pen tool lol

Freaking 300dpi 11x17” print, that’s based on US Landsat photos. Really simple photo negatives but it looks insane just stock

[mortal oyster]

are you guys from USA?

[sinful moon]

Yeah I am myself at least

[mortal oyster]

cool

im from Brazil

[sinful moon]

Nice nice, I know some emulator developers down there

Always chill people so you’re more than welcome c:

[mortal oyster]

Thanks!

learning hacking and practice english hahaha

[blazing granite]

Brazil, na na na na na ( with background samba music) 😂

[winged summit]

nice! i had a co-worker from Brazil. he was really smart. and yeah, i'm from USA 🙂

[blazing granite]

I've been to Brazil many times, nice place, big country too, but what I visited I liked it

[winged summit]

nice. i've never been

seems like a beautiful country. just gotta be careful where you travel, like all countries.

[blazing granite]

[silver sky]

[boreal scarab]

Man... I lived off lettuce and almonds when I was in my accident. Was SUPER low on iron

[rapid merlin]

I'm chewing

An extremely chewy stake

[winged summit]

i believe he means Star***ks lol

[boreal scarab]

Man. That reminds me of Cat In The Hat movie

And ps2 game

🤔

WHY?

[winged summit]

nice! i love steak!

[rapid merlin]

It's like dry tuna

From the scan

When you squeeze all of it

[winged summit]

haha

[boreal scarab]

https://youtu.be/xhw77FJLbvM?si=l1nsBR-0jcEXyhF3

Found out WHY

Dat opening

[winged summit]

alright, i'm gonna brace myself for this lol

[blazing granite]

not a fan, but better than that awful filter coffee, that turn my stomach upside down 😂 I love a good espresso

[winged summit]

oh, interesting, you just meant regular filter coffee

yeah, espresso is awesome

@boreal scarab that video is 3 hours long, LOLOL

omg

i would die

you're a brave man, my man

lol

[boreal scarab]

YAH

I only remember the beginning

Oh

[winged summit]

dude, that is of epic proportions

[boreal scarab]

And PS2 Charlie and the chocolate factory

Man... I miss my childhood

CheatCC.com for all your cheating needs!

[winged summit]

yeah.... that's a rabit hole that's easy to go down. lol

my biggest thing when i used to eat lettuce late at night was to sit on my porch with my friend and listen to pink floyd, etc. those were the days, haha. long time ago now....

[blazing granite]

if it's not espresso, I can go with french press or maquinetta I have all 3, I'm a bit crazy about coffee 😂

[winged summit]

nice!

[blazing granite]

Also I worked as a barista for a while 🙂

[winged summit]

i haven't tried maquinetta

ah, that tracks. yeah, me too. i worked for starbucks for a while

so not a real barista, haha jk

french press was awesome though

not fun to make for customers, but fun to taste

[blazing granite]

I have a small french press 350cc, if you make more and don't drink it at that moment then it's not the same, that's why I always make fresh

[winged summit]

yeah, totally. it's a whole thing

ha

you're not gonna believe when i tell you this

but i drink instant daily LOL hahaha

i've given up on the flavor. i'm just a dang caffeine addict now lol

dump some sugar in that thing, good to go, lol

simple

[blazing granite]

I wouldn't but if you like it and you enjoy it, go for it 🙂

[winged summit]

thanks man
