Surf, Proton I think
How can a VPN even be security focused?
surf, probably not
Not very fluent in VPNs
I'm assuming he meant with user security & privacy in mind
if so, mullvad.
@rapid merlin really?
Yeah Mullvad seems to be consistent
"dont touch my data pls"
-"alright"
Proton has been exposed, and laughed at by every single person for being a horrid service
I still have doubts about data collection but in terms of tying it to an identity mullvad seems better
Bro hasnt unlocked replying in his skill tree yet
oh ok thnks
Is the site working for everyone rn or is it just me thats broken?
broken rn
Although Mullvad does fall under 14 Eyes
yeah, mullvad is consistent and reliable, rarely ever down; support is also quick and competent
doesn't matter
@gritty fern yea, I'm new here and I just started chatting
they've been raided before, no logs or anything was found
Hover over a message and on the right it will have a reply button
Jarvis, fact check on Reddit, sort by updoots and summarize the whole story from that one linked blog
@rapid merlin yea that's clear
is the site acting up for anyone else?
For anybody coming, yes the site is down, staff are aware and are working on a resolution, thanks.
Ever tried IVPN? Looks semi trustworthy
Nope
this guy is getting paid to recommend mullvad
nordvpn*
yeah i can't finish my room as of 10 mins
I have been running tails + mullvad + tor and have not found any leaks
Nord?
lmfao
I've heard good things about mullvad but personally don't care too much about security of it as much as speed
It has good speed
yeah, you might have to swap servers a few times though
@obsidian helm i dont accept random friend requests
On mullvad you can't do more than a double bound?
@gritty fern I understand... Kinda seem strange, but gte to know each other at least I have no friends here
I saw surfshark being rated better than nord
I would answer question but once I hit submit nothing happens
what? I am using it right now, it's slow but it's working =O
Guess I should log off just in case.
I would need to open a new tab then it would be complete. I lost 2 tickets completing the room
something going on with the site?
I feel like nord is bloatware
yes
same, we just have to wait i guess
Surfshark, express & nord advertise through grifting yters
It's back
o/ ryan
I personally love mullvad
how much are you getting paid
good work on the peoples call centre with pierogi lmaoo
Thank you 
Gave +1 Rep to @wanton ridge (current: #2338 - 1)
I'm being held in their server room, please help me
Of course, nothing I enjoy more than watching them rage unbelieveably
safe and trusted review, I believe it now
anyway to see if I got the tickets from the room I completed? I wasnt able to see if I received them
I mean, if you want privacy and secure connections mullvad is top 1 cause it's ram only infrastructure
@rapid merlin you gotta advertise like this to be more effective
Outside of reading actual auditing reports its actually hard to find a non grifting list of good vpns for privacy and user security
Nice to meet you 🙂
How you doing Ryan?
Nice to meet you too 👋
yo friends
I think this 0day fella is a celebrity here
its normal, he is top 1 right now lol
About to get some Chick Filet, hope you all have a great day and thanks for the kind words ❤️
0day!!
what VPN does this 0day guy recommend?
Chick filet is fire
Mullvad
Can you get me dinner? 👉👈
woah is that really who I think it is?
thank you sir

What’s your favourite food ?
I like this photo a lot
#site-support plz
Sushi! 
Oh man that’s my favourite too
Srry bby ❤️
What type of sushi you into ?
The real "computer man" @quartz osprey
I love these silly subdomains
if you click that your printer explodes
Rick is my business partner, make sure to DM him and ask if he is the "Computer Man" (he's in the office next to me)
Sashimi is quite nice, I usually get those from a Japanese supermarket. And regular "american rolls" like California is alright, but I more like the specialty rolls
Won't he get annoyed by DM?
I read that as spaghetti rolls. Where’s my glasses 😆 I’ll get you some sushi if you ever come down
I will lol
I will too 🙂
I NEED ATTENTION

finished two rooms with 500 status code 😦 dont know if i got tickets or not rip
WHY NO?
@hasty sand when will we get a 0day joindeleteme discount? 
Because no
beep
He loves DM’s
That’s you caught in 4K
🥲
Hey all
I own Pentester.com so nope on that!
Okay, I'll dm 🙂
btw, i m not the princess, just prince
Damn 
If i asked really nicely could i have pentester.com?
I’ll make a THM discount if you guys want one.

I was waiting for our international removals to be complete before I announced it here and on socials.

I wonder how much it costs now
Oh, "You've got mail"
Amazing movie
Sounds good
I want a DM 🙂
Btw what was the reason of the recent crypto wallet popup ? Was it an xss vulnerability?
Supply chain attack. Nothing THM could have done :/
DONE ❤️
When I was a kid I used to wish I would get mail, biggest disappointment as an adult 🤣
Ah i see, understandable ty 🙂

i NEED AN EXPLANATION FOR SUPPLY CHAIN ATTACK
you need turn off caps
Somebody modified the code of a JavaScript library, and when that code updated, they reflected on all sites they used it. Using voice to text sorry if there’s errors.
thanks !

hi guys, i have a problem that i cant get in touch with machines through VPN.
🤣
it was just a question "HEY unemployed person! Wanna do something?"
Obsessed..
I would have been like, nah I’m good doing nothing 😌
More cringe content 
r/masterhacker
Shhh
Which platform is this 😂 ? Where're you finding these things ?
OH MY GOSH, LOOKS LIKE HE DON'T KNOW WHAT DDOS IS...... HE CAN PERFORM DOS ATTACKS WITH HIS 5 DEVICES
Reddit 
hmmm i read DDOS

humor me
🥲
what he is doing

IF ANYONE KNOW TROUBLESHOOTING, TELL ME "why my both laptop and pc disconnecting usb connected devices like mouse and keyboard".... It's annoying now..... At least laptop has a touchpad,,, so i can use it.....
Is it a malware problem or a hardware related problem?
I also get an error message like "mscp.cfg not found" when starting windows in both devices since i got my usb disconnecting problem......

Hello
I think you scrolled past 1380 inappropriate mods to find this
Is this for a THM room?
Nah, bout 124,946 inappropriate mods 
If so, #room-help
I did google
no
What's it for then?
i m trying to learn recon
im just finding out the actual 0day is a mod here 
so i was just doin it in virtual machine
What is example.com ?
What were you doing reconnaissance on? You said you changed it to example.com
Oh, hi scrubz
:wave;👋
yeah i was doin it on actual domain which is allowed in program
Try reinstalling your drivers through device manager for the USB devices
Not a mod
Senior mod
Get it right
Which program?

bug bounty its really famous company , video i was learning from was also using same domain
I tried, looks like a dumb thing for me..... May have to format windows and try again
Can my damn 20 ft power cables arrive any slower?
Can you share the scope?
yeah wait
wth, is your english

So where is the scope?
What’s the difference
@sick lance
after this i tried to run the same command , its still not working
Choccy milk making everything better
what do i do now ?
Have you checked the out of scope stuff, RE subdomain?
yes its not that i wasnt using example.com
nd i was just following the tutorial
wow
Which tutorial?
youtube video on recon
Does the video do it on Spotify?
yes
so how cna i make this command work i tried to save it in txt file but still not working ? 🥲
may try to update with apt-get install subfinder
it is showing same results

@sick lance What's the difference between mod and senior mod?
Was going to ping James, but since you're here, you might know.
looks like it is not a problem with subfinder
then
u shuld use double hypens in httpx options
Yes, now they are not displayed as they were before, which is very sad.
Either it was removed altogether, or there is a clever way to do this, which I do not know about.
This kind of view looks much cooler than just displaying icons.
it says no such options
Er...

shadow pleads the third
pleads the third in third person, Shadow pleads the Ninth?
hmmmmm
You can still view it that way
so you telling shadow shadow pleads things that are not included in the constitution but ought to be???
like right to privacy
or right to love whoever
or right of indigenous people
I think all those things certainly should be protected, yes.
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
for those wondering what the 9th entails
From what I have read Shadow appears to have those ideals, I apologize if I am mistaken?
I was certainly not trying to upset Shadow.
oh sure but the american amendments have a hard time applying to shadow as a swedish citizen
Understood lol
right to privacy is very deeply ingrained in shadow
Got him
you just did
Don't ask to ask, just ask.
It's £500 for three questions.
Damn!
It's only one so its free?
That doesn't even make sense Scrubz, 200, 200 and 100? 250, 250, and 1 free?
First is free trial
lol
Yes, now what's your third question?
Gottem.
HA!
Confirmed, Scrubz is an evil Genie.
Nah. It's been established that Scrubz is a guy who won't get no love from me, when he's in the passenger side of his best friends ride, trying to holler at me.
lol, not many gifs that are 'pg13' for that...
Finally friday! This week has both flown by and dragged on. such a weird dissonance
o/ people
Hey constant, how are you?
Right I can't even form my question
It's cos it's friday, Mohamed.
It is hell outside
You subconciously want to chill, so your brain is rebelling
No, I can't, - I give these screenshots as an example, which I saved for myself earlier.
I made it from pre security path up to red teaming path, and I feel like I stopped learning. If the room has no info or hints I don't think I can complete it, although from how much I have done I should be able to complete an easy rated room like "whiterose" or "ignite"? Any suggestions on what I should do, maybe I just need a break or something. I know the question is discombobulated, my mind can't form a proper question right now.
Go to your profile, and choose "share room badges", that's what you're looking for
@delicate kiteOooh, friend, this is what I need!
Damn, I was sure that this button does completely different things, which I didn't even click on. (thank you)
ey tone i've been gettin into computers lately. cyber security. ton of bucks in that industry
At a certain point breaks are necessary. I just took a week off from doing any security stuff. I needed it to clear my head and get back to learning.
No worries!
try the practice tab
with the based on your experience
I understand what you are writing about, it is necessary to alternate theory with practice (otherwise you will be an "eternal student").
I personally switch to hacking machines on other platforms. Make sure to pause in order to unload your brain from an overabundance of information, otherwise it will be "overloaded".
I need to practice, but im not sure at what point I can practice with my skill level
Yo
The link Shadow posted above will give suggestions based on that.
omg im so dumb xD thank you
shows what I can do based on my experience

The song is gonna be stuck in my head now
Now I’ve seen it, I can hear it

Do i get anything if i boost the server?
Yeah that's where I got the "ignite" ctf from my question, which I can't do without having a little hint from walkthrough...
You get to ask for a gif to be added
Huh?
My dumbass was looking for my phone... panicking where it was...
It was in my hands... watching YouTube
guys how do you get the roles thing?
I have done that, I have even turned the flash on my phone to help me see in corners to see where my phone is which is already in my hand
like yk, subscriber and THM level
ohhhh do i verify in the discord or on my thm account?
okay tyty🙏 🙏
ah very cool, my roles are set to me automatically
If someone has a domain, can they sell or disable it fast. The reason why I’m asking is because I’m analyzing a usps smishing scam I got. I put the link into url scan and it has a picture of the fake page. I wanted a more in depth picture so I tried to put the url into hybrid analysis but it says the domain doesn’t exist. The actual text said you have 12 hours to confirm your address(it’s fake) but I’m thinking, is it possible whoever is behind it sold or disabled the domain once that 12 hours was up?
whats the cyber crusader role about?
When I was younger, I once called my mom. Asking her if she has seen my phone
I called her with my phone....
or it was taken down by the registrar
regardless, I like Any.run as a free sandbox to visit URLs and detonate malware
you will have to use a business email though (a school email also works)
That actually could be the case
also, there was a cool talk at DEF CON about these USPS smishing scams
https://youtu.be/gLOv67LlIQs?si=zJCBYevULzKxGs3n
This past holiday season saw a dramatic rise in SMS phishing (smishing) messages, specifically targeting people pretending to be the USPS. Almost everyone in the United States received one of these messages using a kit sold by the ‘Smishing Triad’. While many of us knew these were scams many more did not, including someone close to me.
I knew I...
If it is that’s good but a bummer cus I wanted to see it in a sandbox environment
Aye
Bet
yeah, the speaker basically did your work for you lol
but as always, there’s more work to be done stopping these guys
it has become whack a mole at this point
This is my biggest gripe with it
Today, I got a smishing scam that when embedded, has a redirect to the real gov uk site but when you set the User-Agent to a mobile device, it will go to a malicious site
lol
It's weird
Ooo
It's to stop you digging on a PC
Yoo that actually might be the thing
No it isn't might. It is. Harder to analyse anything on mobile
Given your target is SMS too
Most web browsing is on mobile devices now
You can honeypot using SMS. Just make a phone number and get it out there.
But you can't "sandbox" SMS as you are thinking
Yeah, when I send the request in burp, I can intercept it on my mobile and somehow I still get redirected even when I use the same user agent and sec-ch-ua headers
Looking at it through url scan, it shows the redirect and it’s to the official usps site
Damn criminals have to be smart
Yeah, it was a link shortener too and unshorten.it even said it was the real gov.uk site
Because it gets a 302 to the real site
Burp is detectable
how to unlock Linux Fundamentals Part 2
What's a better way than to use Burp do you think then?
Thats interesting
Ima think over this
Do I have to make an emulator or something?
without subcription is this possibile??
Well it depends on how well they are at trying to detect Burp. There's ways to detect it and fuck with burp users.
anyone help me plzzzzz
Yes
If it's a subscriber only room, you will need to subscribe to access the content
Be patient come on now.
Proxy and repeater is free without a subscription
They wasn't asking about burp 😅
I know
i am new on tryhackme right now i dont want to pay for that now what should i do for learn about it
Try other free rooms.
There are tons of free rooms
how?
Wait, so what would you recommend instead of burp?
Sorry, I thought you were asking whether burp is free
Burp is good. Your Sec-Cha-UA is obvious
what should i do for learn more about this
We told you
Try other rooms or subscribe.
learn step by step
You have to have a subscription to do Linux Fundamentals 2
Also there are some YouTube channels and websites that talk about Linux
one step at a time 🤝
can you suggest some room
The Linux fundamentals are basically the bare basics of Linux
Ah ok, thanks :)

I'm surprised I haven't received any sms scams/phish in years, cus I think I remember I used my same phone number and "used" it on some Spawn free gtaV money site
Lmao
cybersecurity 101
Once you get a new phone number that’s how I got tons of scams
thank you all for your suggetion
why would that be specific
If you respond to any scammer, they save your number in a database and sell it to other scammers I believe
mmmmm modded noita is fun
I guess I never responded, I only got 3 contacts and ignore everything else
Why am I so happy about that...? idk
Hold on I gotta learn burp suite now
Burp is op
it just sucks that the Pro version costs around 45 plates at Panda Express
hey you do radio stuff right?
Decent amount yea
2.4ghz or mostly subghz?
Got some 2.4ghz non wifi stuff in the works atm
looking at some 2.4ghz stuff for a project, bluetooth/wifi ranges but protocols are handled
currently, need to do some direction finding work and having a real hard time finding anyone doing anything similar
without BT5.1 CTE and phased arrays
i'm about 10 seconds from just gluing some directionals together into an array and using RSSI
because i cant find anything useful in this space
Hi gain, so highly directive, antennas are available
right, i've used them before for... stuff
just cant believe there's not even a directional sweep DF setup
I'm mostly looking at satcom at the moment so I need stupid high gain as 2.4ghz power is expensive
i'm also looking at satcom equipment
but for terrestrial use
because satcom is the only time you find mobile-ish antennas apparently
winegard dishes and such
Yep and usually hi gain
exactly
The mobile TV sat dishes are all gonna be 10gig, I think S band TV is pretty much dead
Gain for a given dish is a lot less at 2.4 compared to 10
I'd probably look at a patch, there's a ham with some good 2.4g patch arrays
oh yeah, but a retro fit with some directional 2.4 feed means i can spin and sweep and hopefully get power/rssi related vectors
Holy shit
i dont need trilateration or anything
Chickenman
just vectors
Ur cool af
Spin sounds difficult compared to sweep but I'd like to see it
i mean, it cant be that bad can it?
use an omni for channel select
then spin a channel specific feed until i get frames and measure angle and power
and repeat until decent confidence in direction
could probably coerce frames from the omni
to get repeated vectors faster
i dont need AoA or anything precise, just rough directions
2D
honestly i'm surprised at the lack of commercial availability for this
If I remember, I can talk to my boss who's really big in the microwave bands
it doesnt seem that hard
but even the drone defense work is mostly around parsing packets for GPS info and not just straight direction finding
ToA would be difficult, comparatively, but RSSI seems easy
right
good watch. i can't believe they setup websockets to read any file on the host 
I'd get a patch or panel etc with a sharp null in the middle and tune to that I suppose
FROM the victim
SiLabs has some AoA/AoD stuff using a phase array for BT5.1, but it relies on the 5.1 CTE spec for phase analysis
this thing
it seems to work relatively well, but without the client device doing CTE it doesnt really work at all apparently
which seems kinda surprising to me
i'd think at some point someone could slap together some coherent receivers and do ToA or at least a handful of directionals in an array to use RSSI
but i cant seem to find any good examples of it for this
most people seem to be under the impression that the "noise" on those channels defeats this
but i'm looking specifically for a usecase where noise is not an issue, very few if any clients powered on in range
Direction finding (DF), or radio direction finding (RDF), is the use of radio waves to determine the direction to a radio source. The source may be a cooperating radio transmitter or may be an inadvertant source, a naturally-occurring radio source, or an illicit or enemy system. Radio direction finding differs from radar in that only the directi...
That's what I'd go with, two channel
yeah, that's going to be tougher
the whiterose room honestly shouldn't be rated as easy so don't be yourself up over that. Should be a medium difficulty at least
i'm trying to keep this within the span of man portable or perhaps vehicle based
so my distance between antennas will be quite small
looks like there's very few commercial options
if any
even the defense oriented ones appear to be sub 2GHz most of the time
Direction finding system: flexible, transportable, and deployable. Cost-effective,accurate DF solution for government, military, and law enforcement applications, the WiNRADiO WD-7200.
this one claims <2GHz with one model being "expandable" to 3.5
i'm wondering if it's just because of the hardware or if there's an RF reason why this gets so hard above 2
of course
(they released a nice pdf)
Battlefield comms tend to be much much lower, not a lot above L band most of the time
yeah, of course
Above a gig, it's hard to do stuff that isn't line of sight
So not a lot of point DFing a beam that goes practically upwards
which is crazy to me because modern battlefield comms Do use channels up there
The ew sections in that doc I tagged you with are worth a read
Might ahve to join?
not sure tbh
but as far as modern battlefield comms go
there's quite a bit above L band now
Hey James and chicken 
👋
Yep, but where's it's sat all the energy is directed up
How ya doing?
So hard to DF something that you can't see
this P2P meshnet stuff
Alright, busy week
man portable
for the crowd favorite, the MPU5
this is how you would run the network backing your ATAK
adhoc mesh, somewhat often in C band apparently
even the "poor man" designs for doing this without spending 30k$ for a radio are all 5ghz based
common way to achieve that seems to be a custom firmware for UBNT Rocket M5 nodes
give it a paint job and some antennas and you get away with a cheap alternative to an MPU5
Any new fun projects being done?

Whilst you're here.
I've tried searching everywhre, do you know a hypervisor where I can use VT-x passthrough, Hyper-V and Virtualbox claim my CPU doesn't have VT-X, however I know I do, I can run android studio on my host and emulate a phone, I can't do it in Virtualbox/Hyper-V
is it enabled in bios?
For some reason it VT-X won't work via a hypervisor, and I also checked if I can WSL the stuff I need, but seemingly it won't see the ADB.
Yes, as I can run VM's 😅
hmm
And Android Studio uses it on my host for the emulation.
maybe it's not VT-x but something else?
like SR-IOV
and the error is being unhelpful?
ok
You mean the HTC crypto phone? Lol

Yup, like I said, I can run this on my host.
But in the VM it's telling me I can't.
On vbox, in the settings -> system -> processor is the nested vt-x... enabled?
Greyed out is a bad sign IMO
It's because it's booted on.

Hey guys
Does anyone know a bug bounty hunter or a web assessment specialist ?
I am trying to decide if I should focus on web hacking and master it instead of being average at all stuff
We see a lot of young folk come in here thinking that Bug Bounty is their key to getting rich quick - This is rarely the case. The most logical plan would be to 'git gud' (as the kids say) before expecting any returns on bounties. That being said, Nothing stopping you from signing up and seeing how they are structured and what is expected etc.
But can u viably only hack web as a career ?
Or do employers not look for specifically web hackers ?
you can find a job doing that, sure ---- it's not normally people's first job though
Depends on the employer. However, remember, you want to make yourself a desirable person to work for them

plus we cut ya noogies off!!
Does try hack me use guacamole to set up the clientless connection to the attack box
Oh sorry for asking😔
I think is pico de gallo
I’ve had that before at a friends very nice.
Nah i was just asking because my dumb self accidentally joined the mf hackthebox server instead of tryhackme discord at first so I accidentally made a hackthebox account
And in hackthebox rules oyu cant ask for help or smth idk i think i js read it wrong
What course?
Pre security - network fundamentals - firewalls 101
Yeah, for THM questions, #room-help is the best place to receive assistance
Yupyup i got help hella fast
By the way, can I ask for help for retired CTFs on tryhackme that aren't public?
I'm going to assume no, but I'll ask a mod for determination
Ah ok, thanks :)
Because I have done the CyberFirst CTF and there's this one IoT module that confuses me lol
man im exhausted.. been doing rooms for the last 9 hours
At least you can access the rooms 😃
I haven't had access to any of the tryhackme rooms for like a week
It keeps saying "User not in room"
did you click the Join Room button
I can't do any rooms on the platform whatsoever
The rooms that I have tried don't require joining
clear your cachce/cookies/dns?
Was this TryHackMe's CTF?
It was, yes
Ah, probably not, as I don't know if THM wish to make it public.
ah ok
wasnt it HTB's
It was one for schools I believe
So it's probably a different one
It was hosted on THM just over a week ago
Anyone ever got this error?
Try run the program as administrator
I convinced a scammer to click a grabbify link and it pointed to Nigeria, I can't resolve the IP though does anyone have any advice what I can do with the information provided by grabify
This is illegal and against out community rules.
I would suggest that you not attempt to ‘hack’ people when you are clearly untrained. This can also disrupt ongoing investigations being conducted by police. Report them to phishing/ scamming forms and move on :)
😮
Ah I see, my apologies
So how do people like scambaiter etc make videos about these kinds of things if its illegal (I guess it would depend on what country you're in also(Note I'm refering to law not community rules, which I respect)
They're fake
I love being woken up by phone calls when I’ve already told someone not call but knock because I’ll be ✨asleep✨
Or, in some cases, done in conjunction with Law Enforcement
when you are clearly untrained
burned
ikr..
The most you can do is user education. It goes a long way
Then tell the users they're untrained
or just don’t do it lol
unless your name is the FBI or CIA, then “hack back” is illegal
depends on your countries laws I guess
tell the NSA that 
I'd need to read their charters, but offensive operations are tightly restricted. FBI is also inward facing, so warrants are a must
I don’t follow content creator “hackers” much but one who does illegally hack people is Jim browning although he is kind of an activist so I don’t really have any objections to what he is doing.
Offensive cyber operations are technically acts of war
But I wouldn’t recommend it
sure sure, I truly believe the FBI is doing what they say they’re doing /s
it's also illegal for them 😄
If you have evidence that they are stepping out of bounds, you can report it to the multitude of watchdog agencies or the Office of the Inspector General as a whistleblower
I'm reporting to the only relevant authority in my jurisdiction
I imagine lots will get done >.>
Yeah Governments do lie, but mostly when trying to protect citizens and operatives apart from some clear (historical cases) that are evidently wrong.
History is messy
So how about all that nonesense from 'CIA' officials about how hackers have the green light against ISIS.. Is that BS also?
'proposed' US military operation
nothing official yet
wait I read further
I just realised all we can do as hackers 'legally' is educate other people to educate other people until we're employed anyway
hacking = pyramid scheme perhaps lol
depression is real
The DoJ in the US said that they won't charge you anymore for attacking stuff if they can't prove you weren't doing it in good faith security research
but I mean that's risky so
prolly don't
Although most stuff is like that, you can become a mathematician and then do math in your room but you won’t make any money unless your employed, but teaching will earn you internet “respect” and maybe some money if you have a donation scheme or are employed to teach (content creator). And as long as you know something that someone else doesn’t no matter how simple you can teach(as long as it’s correct :))
Do u guys use docker or vm?
Yeah Governments do lie
~~ what?! no, never, they would never do that, not my government ~~
Im having problems with kali bc it's always breaking, stuffy24 told me to use docker to spin it up and down real quick. Idk what it means
Yes
“hello I’m from the government and I’m here to help”
who here plays D&D
Like my main problem is that I spend so much fucking time downloading new Kali images bc it's always fucking breaking
dockerized kali sounds annoying and near useless
vm for kali, easy choice
I just use it on my system live
It's always breaking
we should have a THM D&D campaign
Burn the USB 🔥
exactly the words i was hoping to hear!
Is there any way to go around the problem?
would need more details. hypervisor, host, resource usage + allocation, error messages.....
Actually Sophos just disclosed that they implanted back doors into their devices to identify Chinese APTs. Called Operation Pacific Rim. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/sophos-reveals-5-year-battle-with-chinese-hackers-attacking-network-devices/
Uhhh it's usually not a resource problem. It's that sometimes shit doesn't work and idk what to do to make it work so I delete the Kali image and I download a new one
And then the problem is usually solved
But it takes so much fucking time
Idk why he recommended docker for this
that um -- that both answers little and raises more
you shouldn't have to redownload any new isos, the disk image remains unchanged
also can't say why things are breaking without knowing what's breaking or what's being done leading up to 🤷♂️
but when it does break, you should be able to rebuild with the same iso. but when it does break x2, you should be using snapshots to avoid needing a rebuild in the first place
well, assuming your hypervisor supports snapshots
Lemme google it
(but yeah, docker is quite a bit different)
So a snapshot is like freezing the os so that it always stays like you left it?
Mh nice
I can use that just after downloading Kali image
So it's always fresh
I'll try now thx
I typically take three snapshots on a new build --- one immediately after install ('genesis'), one immediately after updating ('updated to...'), and one with the base required tweaks for my normal use ('with tweaks' + a desc)
(overboard for most, useful for myself)
But that depends on the severity of the operation no? Like if a nation states starts causing power plant meltdowns that’s when it’s a act of war, but large scale spying via cybersecurity attacks happens all the time and nothing is really said about tensions rising because of spying. Or is the reason for that because it’s hard to pinpoint exactly where that attack is coming from. What’s your opinion on that
i'm free ! finally cleared my github notifications
pages and pages of hacktoberfest spam PRs and issues
I don't think my laptop supports snapshots @molten sky
I'm not seeing anything that I see in the tutorials
Like I have much fewer options
your hardware shouldn't make a difference, it depends on the hypervisor
i.e. vmware vbox hyperv qemu etc
Do you do bugBounty/Ctfs while listening to music
of course
Hihi
$130 for the setup I want for monitoring both my main and my VLANed network.....
Reee
damn
woah
OSCP is removing bonus points
interesting
and we're getting an expiring oscp+ alongside now as well --- 8570.01 compliance incoming?
for real?
maybe oscp+ but oscp stays indefinite right
right
yeah you earn both
perf
my guess is they want to become compliant with 8570 for the sake of getting that clearance moneys but also let people keep earning lifetime certs
prob
i wonder how long til they do the same thing for their other certs
can't imagine them stopping with the one
let's see
looks like 140 CPE credits over three years to maintain, with $135 AMF
wah
so 140 edu credits and $405 every 3 years to maintain
that's why i love thm
you’re about 2 months late to this news lol
wait until you find out OffSec got bought by a private equity firm a few weeks ago
?!
eh if it's not immediately relevant to work than i don't pay much attention often times
if not working i'd rather be away from my desk and technology as a whole tbh
wat
/PRNewswire/ -- Leeds Equity Partners ("Leeds Equity") announced today that it has acquired OffSec (the "Company"), the leading provider of continuous...
i wonder if the two changes are related to one or the other
it’s most definitely a push to be on the 8570 list as many have already predicted
lmfao wait why are oscp certs "Blockchain Secured"
no idea
looking at someone's profile and noticed that their oscp cert has a Blockchain ID number alongside
welcome!
been here for days, but ty
the "Blockchain Record" was created 3 years after the cert was issued as well. huh.
i don't believe it's related
wish i could compare but i don't care enough to see another person's profile
Accredible for those who are familiar
ya
oh yeah i forgot to say, i said days earlier that i had a potential job for devsecops, i refused the offer 😦
should've sent em my way lol
bro if you saw the offer
i will keep being a devops engineer for now i guess
but i really want to be a devsecops
Canceled that order... back to squire 1 cause AIO I was going to use isn't powerful enough... fuck
I created a video on YouTube about the new Cyber Security 101 learning path. And I sent an email 7 days ago to get the 5 Extra Tickets! But no answer yet . What should I do?
8570 is deprecated
It's 8140 now, I haven't seen OffSec mentioned yet
eh i keep hearing that but it's still all i see
is it finally official?
8570 has been deprecated officially for a few? Maybe 1 year(s)
Part 3 of 8140, the cert and experience part, was just released iirc and is readable on https://public.cyber.mil
is the cert matrix the same? i'm getting a very similar result for that part of it
seeing a weird new qual matrix tho
Cert matrix doesn't really exist anymore, afaik
hm
All of the DoD 8570 certifications did carry over to the DoD 8140 Cyber Workforce Qualification Program, and they were aligned to the appropriate DCWF Work Role and DoD 8140 proficiency level.
well that's worth something I suppose
I'm not really dealing with that stuff anymore day in and day out, so my info on the new stuff is going to be a little skewed
It's been a mess though
i just remember "it's gonna be deprecated for real this time" about 73 times
delays and delays
never read much into it beyond that
might read up now that it's a real (and in effect) thing
It was deprecated for real within the last 4 years
I can't remember specifically, time is mushing together for me
i wouldn't doubt it --- I haven't followed too closely. haven't had a need 🤷♂️
I know it was deprecated because it had a direct impact on my life lol
I'm re-watching Mr. Robot. time really does fly.
hi everyone, i am unable to to solve this question "When was the twitter.com record created? Provide the answer in YYYY-MM-DD format." even though i write the correct answer "2000–01–21". i am getting incorrect answer popup
can anyone help me
can you show a screenshot?
What type of attack would this question be vulnerable to ?
I am unable to get screenshort
here
shot*
but this question is part of "Networking Core Protocols" part 3
plz ask room related questions in #room-help
well that was tasty
don't really have food but i found some still-good cream cheese i forgot we had and tortillas, so i made a couple cinnamon roll up things
Is it easier getting a job in networking than in cybersecurity?
probably, but lacks details
lvl 1 soc guy and new networking guy are probably similar
not equal but close
The tool is made by someone that does not read the nmap man page. The tool just try to connect to the 65K ports in big batches. This approach will give you tons of false negatives and firewalls will block you instantly (or just fake the exposed ports).
But the worse thing is... that you can do exactly the same thing with nmap. The params by default in RustScan are 4500 connections at same time and 15000 ms. If you set the same in nmap...:
nmap --min-rate 4500 --max-rtt-timeout 1500ms scanme.nmap.org -p-
I just read this about rustscan :\
not only is this correct from my benchmarking nmap with those flags is faster
Tmux 4 way split with cmatrix vim and gtop arch desktop rustcan and coding socks
I hate rainbows and lolcat
I also hate RGB
I haven’t looked into rustscan , is it just nmap but rust.
yeah tryhackme recommened it for koth
to scan faster
was a troll
any of the crazy fast stuff like masscan (that's actually fast) give hit or miss results just because of the speed
So basically just nmap ported to rust
yep
and THM boxes can't respond fast enough for it to make any meaningful difference from what i'm seeing
Soon rust will assimilate the Linux kernal.
I like it, but that’s just me C is very nice tho
What language do you like.
go
I like c because it is so basic to understand but then gives you infinite freedom after that
@daring arrow
Go is good I’m probably gonna learn it next
it has some weird stuff
but for the most part its super fun
nil
nah thats not that weird
What’s the worst bit
In rust it’s anything Async
is anyone else seeing starts in expired for koth
what happened
nvm
blud how does drew already have a flag and I can't connect to the box
someone really disabled ssh during koth
how fun
and no ones resetting it except me 💀
hi
did Russia actually fine Google for $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 ?
crazy
kernel modules are hard 😦
apparently the version i'm running of kali kernel headers just aren't easy to find
and wsl uses weird kernel
Hello
WSL is just windows pretending to be Linux.
Custom weird kernel
hi friends
Google emailed me if I could give them a loan so I did..
puny money
anyone interested to train together
quick question, what if i run out of rooms to complete and still haven't gotten a complete ticket? (free user) for trywinme
Then that's ok you're not assured to win anything.
Amazing
alright, thanks
hiya everyone
hopefully it wont be too bad for you.
its a bit murky here.
Hello
hiya
welcome !
thx
This is the best conditions.
Especially going through the burn
I see OCR and I think optical character recognition, but realise.. that can be right if you are talking about boggy fields.
is it possible to get the cyber crusader rank removed from my profile
not that i want to
just curious
fair enough
It goes when the event ends
I'm sure it was said in here that it would go away when the event ended before
Also:
"How long do I keep the Cyber Crusader level?
When the ticket promotion is over (4th November), your 'Cyber Crusader' title will disappear and your level will be recalculated."
@stark gust I changed my notetaking regime a little. And its working out better for now.
Does anybody know how to stop rsyslog daemon process in linux
bruhhh
whats the point then
It didn't work 🙂
No it isn't.
that sucks
Stopping rsyslog.service but its triggering units are still avtive
Syslog.socket
im using joplin, so I have nestled folders for learning paths so each learning path folder has another folder for the main topics where notes for those topics are and a lab task folder.
I started to do my note write ups once I have done with doing rooms for the day, or done the next morning.
I still have to transfer my notes to joplin though but gonna do that when I have a little more time, so probably sunday night lol
What are you doing this causing you to want to end it?
Just don't want to make my system activity logs
Make it what, sorry?
I want to stop making logs
sudo systemctl stop rsyslog.service
yeah no not gonna do that xD
I done it this way with joplin because it syncs to my phone and uses markdown.
it is, its so quick to just put a code snippet or create headers or make a page wide line to seperate sections up.
Again this error..
You're going to have to find what is still triggering the logs.
Is there a reason you want to stop the logs?
