general

[sinful moon]

holy heck lol

[primal kestrel]

i hadn’t heard of the osi model since starting thm 😬

[sinful moon]

that’s a bit more serious than my usual complaint about not understanding how filesystems work

[finite basalt]

They were reaching around the monitor and ignoring the tower next to their leg, literally said I was the youngest person in the room and that they had no excuse to assume it was an all in one

[sinful moon]

freaking lol, yep iPad kids

[primal kestrel]

i’ve also seen that in my comp sci courses

i was a TA

saw some egregious coding assignments

[finite basalt]

And our uni pair competent people with less competent people and it's awful

[sinful moon]

hurts my brain to even think of. Filesystem wise they’re usually like “what do you mean all my files don’t just go in a ‘bucket’ under each app”

[finite basalt]

I was working on a team split into security and forensics, half the forensics team had failed both forensics modules 🥲

[primal kestrel]

i think that peoples’ understanding of computers rivals that of cars which they have no clue what is happening so long as it works

[finite basalt]

That module was the only module in 2 years that I'd got less than a first in and we didn't even get a 2:1

[sinful moon]

Yeah it is kind of a worrying backslide

[finite basalt]

I was absolutely seething

We'd had two modules with group work and given you can only fuck up one module I felt you were being given a poor set of cards to gamble having two

[sinful moon]

It used to be like my gen, milennials who were raised on PCs, that’s our thing, but so many of these kids were just raised on iPhones and iPads and have no idea about like basic computing fundimentals

we rouded off too many hard edges lol

[primal kestrel]

i think it just depends. the average Young Person is probably pretty tech savvy

[sinful moon]

Obviously not 100% the case, we see folks like yourselves who know whats up. And sure many other younger folks who as ffmpeg says, are contributing ASM code to the codebase in high school but yeah

[finite basalt]

Those are my marks so far and then there's team project 😤

[sinful moon]

lol ouch in comparison, yea I get you

[finite basalt]

yeah not too chuffed but it's not made a difference degree wise I guess

[primal kestrel]

i had fantastic team projects in college because my childhood best friend and i would do them and the three other people would tag along

[sinful moon]

Guessing you couldn’t carry them due to the divide but oh well

[finite basalt]

Not a chance haha we tried

[sinful moon]

lolol fair enough

[finite basalt]

Our security team was brilliant but the forensics team only had one competent person on a team of 4

[sick lance]

Our classes if somebody didn't do the work, if had to be picked up by somebody else.

[finite basalt]

We tried to help them and just got gaslit by our team leader (from the forensics team) who went awol

[sinful moon]

Oh it sounds like they “did the work” just incompetantly lol

[finite basalt]

I believe we were the reason he had to resit his year actually, we complained on the pear review and gave him the lowest rating possible to reflect his nonexistent work

[primal kestrel]

😬

[sinful moon]

Perfect, and honestly you’ll still see this in the workplace sadly

[finite basalt]

We wrote paragraphs and told them to check the Google docs version history to see what he'd actually done. I thought he'd passed which really angered me but he's in my year this year so I'm taking a guess

[primal kestrel]

yup hahaha

[finite basalt]

Oh absolutely you do, luckily 95% of my team are absolutely brilliant and I can't complain about it at all

[sinful moon]

we hired another sysadmin to compliment myself and another and he was completely incompetent. We taught him on how to report on… and fix issues with servers, only for him to report on them and just… leave it up to others?

[finite basalt]

Out of curiosity did you get a day in the hiring process?

[sinful moon]

Apperently we was mostly on his phone or falling asleep at work

[finite basalt]

Yeah that's not great at all

[sinful moon]

Nah, I wasn’t a part of it. I’m 800 miles away so even hearing the above was just what coworkers on-site were complaining about

[finite basalt]

Ahh I see

[sinful moon]

eventually it got so bad they threw him into help desk and that didn’t go any better

[finite basalt]

See I was an intern and we actually got to give some level of input based on our interactions with them as the interview process was a full day

So we chose people that either already knew their stuff or were very obviously interested in learning because obviously it's an internship

It was quite interesting actually because we gave similar ratings to those who actually gave the formal interview parts just from talking to them all haha

[sinful moon]

I will admit, I’m in a weird “granfathered in” position where I’m the SO of another remote employee and I kinda just signed the NDA after shadowing for two weeks and I was in. I’ve never signed anything other than the NDA and I’ve never had an interview or anything else

I literally had to tell the boss like, btw I know Linux really gud. And was put in charge of Linux infra and future dev ops roles

[finite basalt]

That's fair, I think I've only done three interviews and I got those luckily

I've never wrote a cover letter though

I think officially I'm the only one on our team who's decent at c# so I tend to be directed towards those projects and I have done a couple projects but some of the biggest were mass overhauls of previous projects

[sinful moon]

Totally fair, for me it was sorta explainable because it was peak Covid time still and they were desperate for help

[finite basalt]

I rewrote a serverless cloud project and designed it with zero trust and faith in developers and it's now my little baby and everyone who's worked on my version loves the new codebase haha

[sinful moon]

Very nice, lol the closest dev ops I’ve done was boss saying “we need a single server that hosts three websites for cheap”. Very quickly created a robust Docker Compose setup for that

[finite basalt]

Yeah that makes some sense, in my case the first job was actually offered out to students and I threw my name in the hat, the second I handed my CV in person for a hospitality job and then my current I did a ctf for fun and found it was part of a hiring process if you were interested haha

[sinful moon]

lol actually got them to use the same VPS host I use for my personal pentesting server for THM/HTB, but fair it is an ideal service for small/medium business

[finite basalt]

I've done some web dev and absolutely hate it although I like the concept of serverless sites

You ever played with nextjs?

[sinful moon]

I have a good bit of web dev experience from my past nearly going into graphic/web design, but fair also mostly 00s era. I fiddled around with NodeJS here and there but I’m not much of a web dev for real these days, I just know how these things fit together for the most part.

I’m not in favor of serverless, since just like the cloud or VPSes yes that’s someone else’s server but at least with VPSes you get to administrate your own instance

[finite basalt]

Yeah that's fair, I mean I kinda like the idea of serverless as a concept like you can run a low traffic website for free with serverless and only pay for the domain

[sinful moon]

I also highly dislike useage based billing and am significantly more in favor of a minimal flat fee

[finite basalt]

Nextjs basically builds on react and can break the site into static and dynamic components and then client and server components and then can throw static stuff into a bucket and dynamic into lambda functions and then creates a cloud front reference to load the site

[sinful moon]

I hosted a $5/mo which made $30/mo profit? Extremely small margins, this was a silly exercise for our cheapest clients, but I was actually saving us money over our…. Windows 2008 R2 VM which hosted it in a datacenter before lol

[finite basalt]

And iirc for Aws it's like 20p per million requests per month after the first million and then there's £1 per response after 2 billion requests, I can't remember it exactly but for a low traffic site it's basically free

[sinful moon]

We pushed all of our clients who weren’t cheap onto an actual provider lol

[finite basalt]

Yeah that's fair, obviously serverless isn't perfect for everything but it does scale really well

[sinful moon]

yeah with three clients, it’s like who cares lol

[finite basalt]

I did fuck up a little though with it, I had one line in a middleware function which was slightly too low down and caused a request loop, it was caught the next morning and had been calling it's self 215k times a second and cost about a grand and a half

Not a common problem though and with the right alerts was avoidable

[sinful moon]

This is literally all it was (although in hindsight, I’d go Traffik instead of Nginx Proxy manager)

[finite basalt]

But myself and the DevOps engineer learnt lessons bless haha

[sinful moon]

can barely be considered DevOps here but lol, who cares, boss asked and I did the thing

sure never been done at this company before

[finite basalt]

Yeah that's fair, I do a lot of software dev on cloud infrastructure personally, I do some software for regular computers though

[stray tapir]

I just spent 2 weeks trying to setup traefik and my head hurts

[sinful moon]

Yeah I’m not much of a dev, I typically consider myself a pretty adept scripter, but fair I’ve been told that’s not giving myself enough credit at times.

I can and have contributed to C++ projects on GitHub but typically super minor things lol

[finite basalt]

I much prefer reverse engineering but making stuff is good too haha

My peak was reading Linux kernel source and going through the version history to find a change while hungover

[sinful moon]

Was actually a huge annoyance when the founder of one of the projects decided to relicense which resulted in a dev emailing every single contributor ever, not even CCing. I get it, check with everyone when you relicense but everyone on the “mailing list” was pissed about being bugged about their tiny contributions just for one pissed fellow contributer

[finite basalt]

🤣 it was similar when I started a repository and was getting emails as issues were opened and responded to

[sinful moon]

basically OP was pissed at the change and no other contributors cared, because the project lead did 97% of the work

[finite basalt]

🤣 always one unhappy person

[sinful moon]

mhmm, this was just silly emulator development drama

[finite basalt]

Yeah it's the one thing I hate about open sourced community developed projects

[molten sky]

wanna know what i hate about open source projects

people are dumb as shit

[finite basalt]

Like I love the concept of the Linux kernel but there's always something that either Linus or some other person is whining about haha

[sinful moon]

Usually it’s not so contentious but… yes this lol (for null’s response)

[molten sky]

it's consistent and predictable with linus tho, like em or hate em that's arguably the most important part of it
i'd love to see what and how his successor does but i also don't want to be around for when that happens

[sinful moon]

To be fair 97% of the time Linus is completely right at wondering why this got by multiple checks and balances and on to him

[finite basalt]

Like it regularly makes it's way into my news feed and it'll be an article about Linus believing that commits should be written in like first person or something trivial like that haha

[molten sky]

the rust drama is fun

[sinful moon]

That was ouch indeed

[finite basalt]

And I agree but why is it in my news feed

[sinful moon]

holy crap people are stuck in their ways

[finite basalt]

It's not the reading vibe at 7am 😭

[sinful moon]

Honestly I disagree, at least these days, the biggest Linus blowout reciently I saw was at some absolutely crap code that multiple people approved of and was ready for Linus to merge

[molten sky]

i'm pedantic about this as well tbh. I like conventional commits, but even if not, they SHOULD be written in a certain way --- i.e. if not chore: xyz should be affirmative actions like Fixes xyz (and not Fixed xyz)

[finite basalt]

I absolutely agree with most of his points but I don't want or need to read about it 😭

[sinful moon]

Yeah that is a good point as well, that’s why we have style guides and etc

[finite basalt]

It should not be in my Google news articles

[molten sky]

not gonna pretend like all mine are perfect tho either i have a ton of "fixed" and "aaaaagggghhhhhh" commits as well

[sinful moon]

Ouch Google News

[finite basalt]

I do believe that commits should be consistent of course

[sinful moon]

no wonder

[molten sky]

commit -m "fixed i think maybe finally x3"

[finite basalt]

But I have never showed any level of interest in Linus's standards for Linux commits so I don't know why it's there

[sinful moon]

Did you know there’s this two decade old technology called RSS which lets you follow the news sources you actually want?

[molten sky]

rss >

[finite basalt]

I am guilty of this I will say

[finite basalt]

But then I have to set it up instead of just being fed brainrot

[molten sky]

i always try and reset a force push or whatever to clean it up but that's not always an option :/

[sinful moon]

Yeah lol I’m still a daily RSS feed reader. And ironically it was Google Reader which got me into it

[molten sky]

i actually have a git alias for forcing --- fpush
rather than push --force it does push --force-with-lease

force-with-lease is the shit

[finite basalt]

I generally am responsible for my own projects so it doesn't matter too much and I'd rather have more points I can fall back to

[sinful moon]

oh god Google Reader was killed off when James was in their single digits

[finite basalt]

I may have actually used it actually

When was it killed?

[molten sky]

google reader being killed was probably the nail in it all for rss, even with as little readership as it had

also irc >

[sinful moon]

Google Reader was 2005-2013

[finite basalt]

I may have used it shortly before

Like 2012-2013 time

[sinful moon]

I thought it was killed off much sooner but yeah

[finite basalt]

I would've been around 10

[molten sky]

For the interested: https://www.conventionalcommits.org/
This is my general style, at least for repos I regularly maintain

Very very very helpful in filtering

[finite basalt]

I remember Google plus being shutdown, any of you remember that?

[molten sky]

oh god google plus

[sinful moon]

If you are actually interested James, I use Inoreader as my current RSS feed reader

yes but significantly less consiquental to me

[finite basalt]

Id probably just use thunderbird tbh

[gray sonnet]

I see lots of green

[finite basalt]

I used to use it for emails so it makes sense for me

[gray sonnet]

I'm also green hehehehe

[molten sky]

i've bounced back and forth between different readers recently, most recently poking around at freshrss cause bored

[sinful moon]

I mean, I think that has RSS feed reading but what about on mobile where I actually read most of my feeds

[gray sonnet]

verum! Hai :D

how've you been?

[molten sky]

pain

[sinful moon]

RSS actually feeds me most of my infosec news after it’s trickeled down from other spots

[finite basalt]

Ah that's fair, I might just go back to my sudoku and music instead

[gray sonnet]

ouch

[finite basalt]

I've learnt that reading the news just makes me grumpy haha

[molten sky]

gonna run soon cause i'm tryna be up at a normal time for once in case I have to jump on a sales call, but wanted to hop on and check things for a few

[sinful moon]

Although to be fair, the right infosec or tech new at the right time can save the day

[molten sky]

poke around for a min

[finite basalt]

That's what twitter's for for me

[molten sky]

ew

[finite basalt]

That or watching people get irrationally angry for no reason haha

[molten sky]

i just go to reddit for that

[sinful moon]

reading my RSS feed reader before work on 2022-01-01 literally gave me what I needed to tell everyone how to fix all the firewalls we had stuck in bootloops due to a Year 2022 overflow issue

[finite basalt]

This is some of my news on google

[sinful moon]

Everyone in Asia and SEA had already reported the issue majorly and I kinda just saved the day

Oh I know, I’ve used Google News on and off, currently off because it’s of barely any help

[finite basalt]

I'm not worried about big spiders and I don't care for impractically long usernames so the news doesn't impact me 😭

[sinful moon]

Yeah I got that news much faster than from the Forbes article lol

because wow, the more tech focused sites reported on it more than 1 day ago

[finite basalt]

Like what am I supposed to do with this information

I do occasionally just read some tech articles or watch YouTube videos about it but it's just what's recommended

[sinful moon]

Yeah that’s what I mean, you can tune it as much as you want but it won’t help much

[chilly veldt]

Morning

[finite basalt]

Yeah I might take a gander some time

Morning 😄

[sinful moon]

If you are getting started with RSS, just add bleepingcomputer and Ars Technica and basic great sources like that

[finite basalt]

Oh yeah I do give them a read if Google's algorithm actually recommends them to me

[molten sky]

isn't ars technica going down lately?

[sinful moon]

no?

[molten sky]

thought they were, haven't read recently

[finite basalt]

I will say those tend to be better than the rest

[sinful moon]

They did a big site redesign and it went smoothly

[molten sky]

maybe i'm mixing it up w someone else

[sinful moon]

Yeah Ars is in a fantastic state, been reading them for decades without issue

I’d take a screenshot of my feeds but honestly there’s only a couple that I check every single day

Alright I’m going to check into another server’s active VC before I head to bed. Nice chatting with you all as always!

[finite basalt]

This bacon sausage butty might be up there with a drunk kebab icl

[finite basalt]

take care 🙂

[chilly veldt]

Almost at work

[molten sky]

just found a regression in a pr that was merged two years ago

agh

[rapid merlin]

My mum was rather rude yesterday, where can I gather these spiders

[molten sky]

the outest of sides

[rapid merlin]

😂

[finite basalt]

australia is a good bet but yeah apparently some rat sized ones are becoming common again in the uk

not seen them yet though

[molten sky]

nasty

[finite basalt]

spiders are fine imo

[molten sky]

at least wolf spiders and whatnot don't weave giant webs everywhere

[rapid merlin]

My mum is terrified of spiders, I am not

[molten sky]

nah ya know what i hate --- walking through the woods before first light and hitting a giant web face first

i don't mind em around me, but i'd prefer not to get a face full of silk and have em on me where i don't see

[finite basalt]

idk, I feel fancy when I'm wearing silk

[molten sky]

interesting second headline actually

[molten sky]

is that silk normally sticky and stringy

[finite basalt]

yeah marginally but not interesting at 7am

[molten sky]

am i interested? absolutely. interested enough to find the article myself? absolutely not

[finite basalt]

nah 🤣 could be though I guess

makes me feel spooky

[cloud quiver]

Which one are you drinking 🙂 ?

[drowsy hollow]

Booster
Its a cheap one from germany
With the amount I get rid of every month, I can't buy the expensive ones 😄

[rapid merlin]

I feel weird in silk

Feels too slippery

That was to the convo about an hour ago

😂

The rest of the convo just loaded

[exotic vector]

I know booster

[chilly veldt]

Booster gang

[exotic vector]

my fav atm is Hell from Poland because they have a really nice watermellon one

[chilly veldt]

I just drink whatever work has in stock in the office

all from redbull to booster to monster 😄

[slow cloud]

monster is one of the better ones

[rapid merlin]

I don’t drink energy drinks anymore

[drowsy hollow]

why?

[rapid merlin]

One day my heart wouldn’t slow down

I used to buy the big cans of red bull

[drowsy hollow]

yeaah 😄 i love that feel
going crazy like on amphetamines 😄

[rapid merlin]

I’m doing the open CTI room

[chilly veldt]

I drink so much energy drinks, but still have a resting heartbeat at 67 bpm 😄

[rapid merlin]

My normal heart rate is always a little high

But don’t need it to feel like I’m racing standing still

[drowsy hollow]

Are you guys at work too?

[rapid merlin]

No I don’t have a job

[drowsy hollow]

why?

[rapid merlin]

No one will hire me

[drowsy hollow]

huh?
What u have learned?

[rapid merlin]

Oh no wait, I just enjoy being poor so much

😂

[exotic vector]

[drowsy hollow]

From which county you are coming
We in Germany are searching IT Guys everywhere

[rapid merlin]

England

I finally got through to the referral people for my extraction

[void zodiac]

Can I come to Germany as a Russian and find Polish people there?

I'm too lazy to cook

[drowsy hollow]

here a lot of polish Poeple 😄
But lerning German will be a challange

But here you can earn good money when you are a good it guy

[undone dune]

What would you consider a good salary over there?

[void zodiac]

I need to know only one word, BEEER

[cloud quiver]

Warum herausforderung ?

[drowsy hollow]

I am Network Technician, do a little bit Security Stuff and be the Team leader of the technical area and earn 5100 € before Tax and about 3000 € after Tax

[drowsy hollow]

Cause everyone said german is not easy to learn 😉
Ist deutsch deine Muttersprache oder kannst du einfach nur deutsch?

[undone dune]

Where do you live? If you don't mind me asking. I want to do a cost of living comparison but I understand if you don't want to say!

[cloud quiver]

For me it is relatively easy to learn if you know English .

[drowsy hollow]

I live in the country
My fixed costs for apartment, insurance, car, electricity and internet without food are around €1200

[void zodiac]

And how much is food?

[undone dune]

Numbeo is telling me that food is more expensive over there than it is here which I'm surprised at

[stoic quarry]

Oh boy, first Defcon ticket, sure do hope I can get two more in the last day : - )

[cloud quiver]

I wish you all the luck into winning some 😄

[stoic quarry]

Lmao, aren't they all taken?

[drowsy hollow]

When it was me, I actually tend to eat good stuff and not frozen pizza or canned stuff
Then I get by on €10 a day
Maybe 15
But then you ate like a king

I think I spend like 250 on food

but many Days i just eat bread wit cheese or something, drink energy drinks and smoke 😄

[void zodiac]

Just 3000€ after taxes is what senior developers or other senior IT person earns, but it's only in Moscow and St. Petersburg, only 2 cities have such salaries here

[drowsy hollow]

I also earn a relatively high amount because team leaders and all other technicians here in the company go home with at least 2200 after taxes

[cloud quiver]

In which state do you live if I may ask 🙂 ?

[void zodiac]

Is your city big?

[queen flare]

what's the reason for this error?

3000€ is Russia in 35k city would be A LOT, A LOT as fuck

[chilly veldt]

I am going to the European defcon this Christmas

[slow cloud]

there is a european one?

i thought it was only in murica

[drowsy hollow]

yeah but i think the fixed costs here a lot higher

[void zodiac]

That too. Rent is like 300€ I believe

400-500€ in Moscow

[slow cloud]

yeah thats not expensive

[drowsy hollow]

So guys
I have to work now 😄
I now have to set up 4 firewalls for a customer

I hope I can automate a lot via XML 😄
Then I can do a CTF later

[exotic vector]

[sick lance]

You may need to show all channels.

[void zodiac]

And if you become a CEO, some firm will have its own accountant, which will avoid taxes and commit other frauds, and the CEO won't know about it 🙂. My dad almost got in jail because of it

im watching a video where someone upscaled benchy and 3d printed it in sections as a real boat lol

[cloud quiver]

That's cheap for such a big city to be honest 🙂

[void zodiac]

Well, the quality of life is different from Europe tho

Medicine really sucks

[cloud quiver]

Well , if you ask me I'm choosing Moscow over any European city 😄 . It has more than 10m people , lot of opportunities there 😄

[stoic quarry]

Lmao

Fair enough

[void zodiac]

Well, the biggest problem is medicine. If some businessman and a gardener get cancer in Germany, they both will have the best treatment.
Here, only the businessman will get help because he will buy his own medicine, bribe to get better help and stuff. And a gardener will most likely die

It's the difference

[drowsy hollow]

I'll be honest with you
I would not prefer Russia at the moment because of the current war problem

I think in the next 5 years Russia will have severe economic problems because many young people are either dead or have missed their education because of the war.

In addition, the sanctions may increase in the next few years

Putin is currently arguing a lot with the EU/NATO and I think we won't put up with that for much longer

It's a shame actually
Russia is a really beautiful country

[cloud quiver]

Well , you have the point there 🙂 . Corruption and bribery are a problem of Eastern/South-Eastern Europe in general

[void zodiac]

I'm mostly complaining about medicine. Want good medications in your treatment? Buy European ones on your own, because hospitals have only Russian ones which don't work

The same thing with prosthesis

[sick lance]

Can we please not bring politics to the server.

[drowsy hollow]

Ok sorry

[drowsy hollow]

But it wasn't a bad thing about the country, but rather a general fear about the situation and the job market

[sick lance]

Understandable, however this is a conversation that can swing either way.

Ok....

[shut hawk]

backed up to where?

wdym? provide more context

[chilly veldt]

I already answered you with a question

"in what sense?"

[stoic quarry]

Sounds sus

[slow cloud]

i also dont think his english is the first language

tbh

[stoic quarry]

John Doe lawsuits are still a thing, subpoenas happen xox

[shut hawk]

what do you mean?

[chilly veldt]

what do you mean by "can't identify you"

[void zodiac]

They for sure can

[slow cloud]

with all the technology in this day and age im sure they can

[cloud quiver]

I know a lot of people that worked/still work abroad. Some of them on the "West"( mainly Germany/Austria ) , some of them on the "East" (Russia/UK).Everybody says that it is a great experience to work abroad and experience a new culture 😄 . Hope that one day I will have that opportunity too 🙂 .

[slow cloud]

UK in the east?

[stoic quarry]

ISP, Cloud service logs, OSINT mishaps, there's a lot to identify someone

[slow cloud]

uk is more west then germany or austria 😂

[chilly veldt]

so like fingerprints etc. physically identify you?

[void zodiac]

In what context? Identify how? Your PC? Your face? Recognize you in the street?

[cloud quiver]

We use it as an abbreviation for Ukraine here 😄

[slow cloud]

ohhhh

😂

[chilly veldt]

and what you want to know about that?

[stoic quarry]

Like who stole the cookies out of my godamn cookie jar

||(It was me)||

[sick lance]

What are you doing?

[void zodiac]

Why did people start instantly winning the Defcon tickets

[sick lance]

So why do you want to avoid being found?

[stoic quarry]

I just got two

But I doubt I'll get another one

[sick lance]

You're asking some suspicious questions.

[void zodiac]

Because he's American psycho

[frigid stream]

.

[slow cloud]

how you can commit the perfect crime?

i dont think people know

[void zodiac]

Some idiot blocked the garbage truck

[slow cloud]

maybe chatgpt

[rapid merlin]

The bigger car wins if he just goes forward XD

[slow cloud]

otherwise go to the police and ask them how to commit the perfect crime

[void zodiac]

I think "What did I do to stay anonymous" is a more correct question to ask yourself

[rapid merlin]

Thinking about how the police left me in the dust

[slow cloud]

im sure they can answer some questions and might have some for you in return

[cloud quiver]

One KAMAZ would solve that issue 🤣

[rapid merlin]

I'm forever sending them emails having a go at them XD

[void zodiac]

I think it's they crashed

Without it's*

Well, all these questions can be answered by chat gpt tho

[chilly veldt]

I think maybe they are asking if you get in police custody and they can't find any papers or anything that ties you to you

such a broad question tbh

yeah, that's why I asked to narrow it down, add more meat to the bone so to say, so we know what the question actually is

[stoic quarry]

Welp, 100%-ed the course, no DEFCON tickets, but this has been fun

[undone dune]

I must be the only person on THM trying not to win a DEFCON ticket 😅 Vegas is way too far a plane ride for me

[stoic quarry]

It's a paid trip

[sick lance]

I'm not trying to win anything.

[stoic quarry]

All expense baby

[sick lance]

Only one or two tickets is.

[undone dune]

Oh is it? I didn't realise that. That's cool!

[stoic quarry]

Ohh

Ah well

Congrats to those who got em!

[undone dune]

I'm just happy with my baseball cap

[sick lance]

The grand prize is a Defcon ticket, plane ticket etc.

[rapid merlin]

I am listening to The X-Files in the background, and one of the passwords I had to derive from a hash was a reference to the series 😄

It'll probably take time for them to reply

[stable ether]

ok ill wwait

my brain doesn't know which gifts to choose

[sudden pond]

why people think we can help them with hacked accounts

[chilly veldt]

there's so many choices

[sick lance]

Why wouldn't people think a group of hackers would help them recover their hacked account?

[stable ether]

exactly

[sudden pond]

but they should ask that company for support

[chilly veldt]

"but hackers are faster"

[sick lance]

Who's to say the account is theirs?

[stable ether]

insta support is bugged

[exotic vector]

I got a £20 voucher, I'm thinking of getting a AOC t-shirt and the standard hoodie

[sick lance]

What do you mean?

[exotic vector]

Ooo that's cool

[wheat pecan]

What's the ending date of event?

[sick lance]

It's just some things that often pop up

[sick lance]

4 hours or so.

[chilly veldt]

yeee, usually shitty gifts, but some of them are pretty good stuff

[exotic vector]

last office job I had the director put stuff on a table in a room and said "have at it" to everyone in the office, was a free for all.

[wheat pecan]

Ok nice

I just finished 101. Now to get back to my actual job that I get paid for 😬

[cloud quiver]

Hi

[hushed vector]

Great 👍

Did you win anything?

[silver vapor]

Hello can u tell me one thing

Is it possible to hack anyone's ip address

[chilly veldt]

yesn't

[silver vapor]

Like someone on discord

[sick lance]

Why would you like to know?

[silver vapor]

Actually someone wanna try to hack my ip address

[hushed vector]

😶

[sick lance]

Don't click any dodgy links.

[silver vapor]

The best thing is

He said he wanna hack my ip address

[undone dune]

I did! Baseball cap, tshirt and the two store vouchers. Pretty pleased with that

[sick lance]

Eh, if you ignore them, they usually go away.

[silver vapor]

If i dm any message to him

He can hack

So

It's not possible right?

[hushed vector]

Oh! Nice

[silver vapor]

He was my friend

[sick lance]

You're not connected to each other.

You -> Discord -> Them.

Just don't click any suspicious links from them

[silver vapor]

U can say my ex homie

[hushed vector]

@undone dune are you a student? Or an IT Guy

[silver vapor]

So it's not possible to hack ip address without click any links

[sick lance]

They won't obtain it, without you clicking links.

[silver vapor]

Cool

What if i dm him any message?

[sick lance]

He still can't get your ip, but if you're that paranoid, why would you want to?

[silver vapor]

I have to ask some questions

Nothing else

[sick lance]

Uh, ok...

Have fun!

[silver vapor]

So i can dm him

Its safe

Right?

[sudden pond]

yes

[chilly veldt]

hmmm, not sure what to choose between:
Robot vacuum
Record player
blender

Ninja blenders on sale right now, they are super good

[chilly veldt]

hey hey, don't diss my old way of listening to music

[sick lance]

I'm done answering your questions, you're ignoring what I'm telling you.

[hushed vector]

Great 👍

[silver vapor]

Ignoring what?

[cosmic pendant]

I mean, if you want lot of nearly uselss plastic disks.

[chilly veldt]

Not ignoring it, I didn't think it needed to be mentioned.

[sudden pond]

He said his ex is a guy thats why you got confused right?

[sick lance]

I wasn't confused.

not ex as in partner

i have time to grind out a ton of tickets but i really only want the 50 amazon, laptop and of course the defcon ticket

[median badger]

why so

[drowsy hollow]

1 or 12 month premium would be my fav

[arctic cradle]

12 month premium is the most worth type of sub

[median badger]

think thats the first time i heard that lol

[cloud quiver]

Sleep helps me in those situations

[median badger]

so its worth for me to finish as many rooms then?

i guess for the learning its still worth it but i can always do that another day

[arctic cradle]

nothing helps me, no sleep no power nap, the only thing that helps is the one green thing that starts with M but I stopped using it for years but it was still the only thing to killthe pain

in most EU states u can legally buy psylocobin truffle

Sumatriptan is a drug you get from the Doctor which work similar to mushrooms
Its very good
Ask your Doctor about it

[silver sky]

What might work for one, might not work for others.

I was part of an experiment with mushrooms and some other drugs with no luck for me

[exotic vector]

That's a shame because from the studies they were getting somewhere with it.

It's going to be another of those things where it might not work for everyone

[chilly veldt]

cause everyone ain't built the same

[exotic vector]

Yeah psychiatry is notorious for being one of those things where you try different things to see what one works

[sick lance]

Why are you scanning a website?

[sudden pond]

I'd like to trade my cap for a one-month premium

[rapid merlin]

Ok just because you asked for a black hat hacker and your scanning a website means that's your up to no good

And that your a script kiddie

In that case, no, you don't have a contract, your questions are suspicious, and we won't be helping you with this, as what you're doing is possibly illegal, (Asking for a black hat is red flag one).

[scenic mountain]

💀 alright

[slow cloud]

But it can always be that a person doesnt really have a clear understanding of how the hats work and just thinks black hat == hacker. Not saying this is the case wih sir.vv7

[scenic mountain]

sorry for that

[sick lance]

[cerulean aurora]

[sick lance]

What are you doing?

[cerulean aurora]

im confuse in between the a and b

[silver sky]

Between A and B there is nothing

[cerulean aurora]

im try to learning someting new

u guyz remove my question

[sick lance]

There is,

[sick lance]

Yes, I removed it, because it looks awfully like an exam question.

[silver sky]

Is it "And"?

[cerulean aurora]

can u help me with the correct one

[sick lance]

Are you doing an exam?

[cerulean aurora]

no im not rn

as i said im just learning it

[sick lance]

Where did you get the question from?

[cerulean aurora]

internet

there are lots of questions

im using chatgpt it is not giving the proper explination and ans also

[slow cloud]

have you tried malicious life?, command line heroes, the official offsec podcast,
the lazarus heist was pretty cool

[cerulean aurora]

also blackbox

[sick lance]

Ok, since you're being very vague, nobody is going to help you, if they do, action will be taken, as I don't know what you're doing.

If you're not going to tell us what you're doing, no help will be provided.

[sick lance]

^ That is for you.

[cerulean aurora]

tbh im preparing for my ceh exam

[sick lance]

I knew you were.

I was giving you the chance to admit it.

[cerulean aurora]

yes apologies

ik the ans but i need to confirm it

[wintry sluice]

I wouldn't rely on ChatGPT if you want accurate information, Its great at stringing words together in a sentence that people can understand, but there is no guarantee that what it is spitting out is true.

[cerulean aurora]

exactly it is not always correct do u know any alternative

[obtuse musk]

thanks man, this is exactly what I was looking for,

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @slow cloud (current: #409 - 13)

[wintry sluice]

I just wouldn't use an LLM for that at all.

[slow cloud]

also thank you for the hacked and modern mischief

@silver sky

[chilly veldt]

fucking took me 3-4 months to implement a UDP client in android

[boreal scarab]

But but but.... TCP

[chilly veldt]

it's TCP over UDP

[keen vigil]

Hello all, I'm new to the server and TryHackMe in general, I'm excited to meet you all!

[pearl kindle]

welcome!

[sick lance]

Socket?

[chilly veldt]

ye

now finally 20% of my app is done 😎

time for the rest of the app

[primal kestrel]

hard part first right?

[undone dune]

It's like the 80/20 rule, but in reverse! Just think, you've done all the hard part up front so now it's smooth sailing for the last 80%

[boreal scarab]

print ("Hello World")

App done, lunch time.

[chilly veldt]

yup, rest is just designing stuff around said function that took 3 months to develop

[primal kestrel]

error on line one unexpected character ' '

[chilly veldt]

actually it's kotlin

[primal kestrel]

does that mean you have to type an essay for hello world like in java

[silver sky]

Ready?

[wintry sluice]

oh boi, <1hr remaining on the giveaway 🍿

[primal kestrel]

oh i forgot to finish that this weekend

Whoops

[boreal scarab]

It took you 3 months to write

   println("Hello, World!")```

[chilly veldt]

Toast.makeText(
     Context,
     "Hello World",
     Toast.LENGTH_LONG,
).show()```

[primal kestrel]

so Yup

[wintry sluice]

can still finish it after its over. just no more tickets 😄

[boreal scarab]

Coffee! Almost forgot

[primal kestrel]

i'm 84% of the way done i'm probably not getting anything else anyway

[silver sky]

Get your coffee and then call me

[chilly veldt]

that's in logcat though
you want to show it to the user

[sick lance]

logcat is fun.

[primal kestrel]

how do you even test udp connections

[shut hawk]

honestly respect

i found creating android apps a massive PITA

[primal kestrel]

apple too probably

i went to flutter for my mobile app project because i wanted easy mode

[chilly veldt]

I have a special device that the app works around

Which only takes UDP

So I had to build the whole client before I could test it, which includes also doing wifi manipulation

Community is still keeping NMM alive LMFAO

[undone dune]

Nexus is dead? I know it got hit by that cyber attack but I didn't think it killed it off?

[wintry sluice]

think just the mod manager is dead. got replaced with vortex

[pearl kindle]

yeah that was years ago

fallout new vegas modding ... good times ...

[clever meadow]

guys which is the best anti-virus software? give me 2 vendors

[sick lance]

Malware-Bytes.

[clever meadow]

and

[wintry sluice]

depends on what you want it for

[sick lance]

There is no and.

[clever meadow]

that i don’t know yet

[wintry sluice]

🥳

[clever meadow]

-# 😭

[sick lance]

Malware-Bytes supreme.

[clever meadow]

you’re digital forensics student?? W

[sick lance]

And Malware Analysis & Exploitation.

[clever meadow]

the former sounds interesting

what’s this exactly? a lot of analysis i see

[keen vigil]

I have a general question, I know this might sound a bit dumb becaues this is the tryhackme discord server, but as a student my budget is really really tight. I was wondering if it is worth it to buy the premium membership for a month to try it out? What do you guys think?

[sick lance]

61% of the website is free, there also student discount.

[sick lance]

Yeah, and some writing

[keen vigil]

how do I get the student discount?

[cosmic pendant]

What country do you live in?

[sharp citrus]

[clever meadow]

united kingdom.

[cosmic pendant]

People don't often take their country and the country of AV vendor into account

[clever meadow]

maybe because the focus is more on the features, cost & compatibility with the host device

[boreal scarab]

I still like Eset

[keen vigil]

thank you so much

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @sharp citrus (current: #84 - 86)

[wintry sluice]

does it cause bsods?

[cosmic pendant]

Yea but should it be? What's your threat profile?

[boreal scarab]

It did cause a black screen....... nah, that was a trojan I had lol

Nope, no BSoD's on it

[cosmic pendant]

If you want to use an AV, and your <insert country name here> go to your AV vendor with a security letter

You're screwed

So, what are you afraid of

[clever meadow]

perhaps? and this is for research and write purposes so i’m going practical yet

[boreal scarab]

"It's really annoying that you need to place a cup to get coffee"

• @silver sky

[clever meadow]

i don’t understand what you mean

[boreal scarab]

Kaspersky lol

[cosmic pendant]

.......... why are you researching avs?

[raw dust]

Arg too bad i will be able to complete the security 101 entirely on time🥲

[clever meadow]

for my upcoming exam

[sick lance]

Path reamins after the time.

[cosmic pendant]

Best of luck to you

thanks

Reamins?

[sick lance]

Remains*

[deft apex]

Does any know the answer to this question: The approximate number of port numbers(in thousands)?

I have tried various forms of the answer on one of the rooms and it keeps telling me in correct. This was what I tried 65535, 65536, I even approximated to different values and is still wrong

[sick lance]

#room-help

[marsh atlas]

65 cause is in tousands

[cosmic pendant]

#RoundThatNumber

[boreal scarab]

69000?!

https://tenor.com/view/okay-ok-alright-cool-awesome-gif-18159255497747374770

[sick lance]

Or ignore me, and continue providing support in here. 😄

[boreal scarab]

Sounds like a great plan!

[lament tendon]

I suppose it would be 65000 or 66000 in thousands?
How silly that the answer is not just 65535...

[raw dust]

Oh yeah i kinda expect that. But it was expected try to win a 12 month tryhack voucher

[wintry sluice]

1.8^308

[deft apex]

Damn thanks. It worked. I even tried 65000. It didn't work
But just 65 worked.

This room questions should be more clearer and support different format of answers🤦🏻. I spent 3hours trying to fill in the answers 😤

[twin ridge]

ANyway

[sick lance]

As I've already asked, can we shift room support to the more suitable channels,

This isn't it, and I do not appreciate being ignored.

[deft apex]

Yes. It's so frustrating. I can't believe I wasted time on that. Now I can't even complete more rooms because of it. This is poor UX😤😤

[deft apex]

Sorry. Thanks though

[sick lance]

#feedback-and-ideas is suitable for this suggestion.

[deft apex]

The necessary bodies will see it here. I can't go type it again in the feedback section.

This is a general group right? So all information should be accepted
Till it's forwarded

[wintry sluice]

you can complete more rooms. just won't get any more tickets <t:1730736000:R>

[sick lance]

It could be missed by staff, as there is nobody here.

Where as that channel directs you to a link where it will be seen by staff.

[deft apex]

In 12minutes? I can't complete more rooms. And I think it depends on the room too

Well am well vast in cryptoghaphy. That would be faster though

Let me go try It out

do anyone know any good hacker focused yt channels?

[fresh ivy]

how many total rooms? I can see total 902 rooms from tryhackme search.
BUT in leaderboard we can see some people are in more than 1000 rooms.

[pearl raven]

If you don't mind longer winded content, Ippsec is excellent. As noted above, Tyler Ramsbey does a lot of THM content as well as other things. More generally (and more sometimes more malware related) John Hammond.

[cloud quiver]

Check out David Bombal too , although he is more network oriented
