VM > Attackbox

[rapid merlin]

Fix your VPN profiles lol keeps glitching out on me

Yesterday I had trouble doing rdp to a pc

And I had to change the VPN file

For it to work

[cedar scaffold]

attack the box is nice for ppl who dont want or cant get a VM set up tho

or use THM from public or other ppls PCs

great accessibility

[sacred hazel]

@cedar scaffold you have any specific book in your mind ?

[glass nest]

If you ever need a ‘cheat sheet’, I recommend this book. Alongside RTFM and BTFM

[cedar scaffold]

hmm? before i was talking about linux for hackers by occupy the web

highly recomended and the guy knows his stuff

[rapid merlin]

I dont have any recommendations but this is my cat https://cdn.discordapp.com/avatars/373162892889030658/852112bd2d165103fe391818a619e688.png?size=512

Thanks

Gave +1 Rep to @glass nest (current: #20 - 431)

[hollow pivot]

I've had it for a while, barely used it. Might need to give it another try

[glass nest]

Aye, I use those little plastic page marker things for the bits that I wanna jump to - Like nmap while I was trying to remember some of the commands

[sacred hazel]

Can you share the content topics of ths book ?

[hollow pivot]

I always end up using google, much quicker.

[south egret]

what if that friend of yours was the gifs we made along the way 😳

[glass nest]

For some stuff, Gonzo - I fully agree, but other times If i just need the command, and I have it marked.. Means I don't need to tab out of the thing I'm doing and I don't end up falling down an internet hole 😄

[south egret]

https://tenor.com/view/i-saw-w-gus-fring-gus-gustavo-deleted-gif-25440636

[sacred hazel]

I have linux basic for hackers but all of the content of this book is similar to a rhcsa administrator task , but it's great for someone who wants to learn linux in depths

[glass nest]

Thats one angry penguin.

[hollow pivot]

I was actually thinking to myself that I needed to start using it more the other day, so I guess this is a sign

[glass nest]

Shivam - Those series of books are pretty good. If you keep an eye on humblebundle, they regularly have bundles of books from them

Right now theres an O'Reilly set for Shells and scripting and some Windows DevOps

[exotic vector]

yeah im waiting for the humblebundle

[glass nest]

Which is fortuitous, as THM recently did their DevOps path

[sacred hazel]

Yeah i just saw they have lots of books

[glass nest]

Honestly, theres usually something cybersecurity related on there. I don't know how many bundles I've gotten from them 😄

(I actually don't, they are all on my other hard drive, but I had to bring the hard drive cradle into work :D)

[sacred hazel]

@glass nest How you got ejpt title ? 😶

[glass nest]

Because I completed the course and got the certification 🙂

[sacred hazel]

From INE security ?

[glass nest]

Yep. Was a few years ago

[sacred hazel]

How you got title here on discord ?

[glass nest]

Just ask a Mod 🙂

I think they need some sort of proof for some of the more advanced ones (OSCP, eCPPT etc), but for most others, they'll just trust you

[sacred hazel]

IOhh

Can i add my rhcsa title also using Mod ?

[glass nest]

Maybe., if they have that role set up. Next time you see one knocking about, shout them a holler 🙂

[sacred hazel]

Okay

[shell nova]

Don't think we have that one

Nope don't have it

[glass nest]

there are so many different abbreviated certs nowadays 😄

[sacred hazel]

🙃

[glass nest]

I've just look that one up, Shivan. was it challenging?

[sacred hazel]

It's a practical based exam not much hard if u already have good linux knowledge but if u are new then yes

[glass nest]

Fair enough

[sacred hazel]

yup

[polar wraith]

why is the "jurassic park ctf" rated hard

its way too simple

[glass nest]

Become some people might find it ahard if you don't have the.... pre... knowledge 😄

(see what I did there?)

[rapid merlin]

I missed the chat, what was this book for ?

[polar wraith]

nah nah im not talking ab that

im noob myself

there are many "easy" rated ctfs which take a lot of time for me

[glass nest]

Stealth, basically a cheat sheet

[polar wraith]

the idea behind jurassic ctf is simple

[glass nest]

For you, yes.

[rapid merlin]

For what sub topic ?

[polar wraith]

people who're decent with sqli should be able to do it ig

[glass nest]

Hacking, I suppose.

[rapid merlin]

Is it the Osint book

[glass nest]

And those first 3 words are why it could be considered hard for some people, Pre 🙂

[polar wraith]

theres this ctf called prioritise

[glass nest]

Stealth, Nah - more just tools that get used. the OSINT part is.. eh.

[polar wraith]

it is truely hard

its rated medium

the payload is a bit complicated

jurassic ctf is just using rookie sqli syntax

btw esqy

can u send me a ss of the leaderboard if ure on thm

https://tryhackme.com/r/room/jurassicpark

[glass nest]

You gotta look at the context, pre. if it's on a CTF site, there will be an assumption of skill level. Difficulty rating will be based on the context of the site.

My profile is just Esqy, but I've not done any rooms in years, bar a few during the ticket event

[polar wraith]

hmm makes sense ig

[polar wraith]

dw i just want a ss of the leaderboard

wanna see if im on there 👀

if u can rn

[glass nest]

The THM overall leaderboard?

[polar wraith]

no

https://tryhackme.com/r/room/jurassicpark

jurassic

[glass nest]

Not done that room

[polar wraith]

u can click on leaderboard tho

[glass nest]

You can aswell, surely?

[polar wraith]

it always shows im 10th

on the lb

[glass nest]

Probably because you are joint leader with everyone on there with 240 points?

[polar wraith]

nono

it shows

10th for every room

idk why

so maybe if i am 5th or smth

it doesnt show that

[glass nest]

Probably because you are joint leader on every room with the same amount of points?

[polar wraith]

there was this one room where i was 3rd

it showed 10th for me

a friend of mine showed me in an ss

[glass nest]

Probably a question for the site staff? I don't work for THM - I'm just a regular user like you

[polar wraith]

ah ok

[glass nest]

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news (Or bad news bear)

[boreal scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/mac-trash-gif-26503253

[exotic vector]

well I got a weird text

[south egret]

Send a weird text back

[glass nest]

Thats a loaded statement 😄

[snow palm]

hi everyone, so i've downloaded proton to use as VPN in order to save some money. on reddit i read that it's a marketing strategy for proton for people without money or the willingness to pay directly to test their services. is anyone here that can tell me if there is another disadvantages of using proton? I remember scrubz saying yesterday that if someone is free, you are the product

[glass nest]

Scrubz is right.

[snow palm]

could you elaborate please

[glass nest]

The things that Scrubz said are truthful

[snow palm]

yeah but why

how exactly am I the product

what are the dangers

[glass nest]

Oh, because nothing is free.

[exotic vector]

if Its a scam they're not doing a good job about it.

[snow palm]

it seems to work tho

[exotic vector]

I got a text claiming to be from hmrc, saying something about being underpaid. No link no nothing and heres the thing I dont have a job

[snow palm]

aight so something i could already guess. the question is: is it confirmed that proton also does that?

[glass nest]

Thats the main one. They will use your information to market their product, and share it with other companies who will also market to you. As for confirmation - Well, thats how marketing works.

[simple valve]

No, it’s not confirmed

[rapid merlin]

It’s true

[glass nest]

you give someone a free sample in a hope that they will buy the product

[simple valve]

The way they phrase it is “the premium users pay for the free users”

[glass nest]

Ludde - Why're you all unverified?

[snow palm]

yeah that's also what i've read

[rapid merlin]

I literally just said thee same thing

That was such weird timing

[glass nest]

Maye it's not really Ludde...

[snow palm]

i also read that proton it's a nonprofit

[rapid merlin]

I dunno shall I test it

[glass nest]

Perhaps hes from the HMRC and texting Fae

[rapid merlin]

Ludde what does my last name start with

[snow palm]

so basically it would be against swiss laws to form a nonprofit that profits of information selling, right?

[rapid merlin]

What letter

[glass nest]

Mc?

[rapid merlin]

😂

[glass nest]

Miss McStealth?

[south egret]

Maybe ludde was the friends we made along the way 😳

[rapid merlin]

I’m Mc stealth

[exotic vector]

I reported the text I got anyway so if it is hmrc they're gonna wonder why they're blocked on my phone lol

[rapid merlin]

Fair enough, Awwh look at him looking out for Me

[glass nest]

Nah, He just fears your vengance

[rapid merlin]

Yeah that’s him

I can tell by the smiley face he puts after a sentence

[rapid merlin]

Ludde isn’t scared of me

[glass nest]

yet

[snow palm]

so, anyone here that has read up more of this company by chance?

[rapid merlin]

One of the few that knows me and isn’t tbf

[snow palm]

or is a lawyer or something

[rapid merlin]

I’m a spooky person

👻

[granite narwhal]

U mean this month just sometimes study feel bored and than close it

[exotic vector]

I got to study today, I didnt yesterday for some reason

[simple valve]

My advice @snow palm is understand if it works for your use case

[glass nest]

Gaza - The feeling that you have sounds like burnout. i.e, you've focused so much on a single thing for an extended time, and therefore have started to dislike it or resent the time you spend on it. The cure? take time away from it

[snow palm]

yeah right now it does, just asking for the future and a bit out of curiosity

[exotic vector]

make sure you have a hobby outside of this one.

[glass nest]

stanley - I doubt anyone here has delved into the mechanics of a specific company, but the 'no-one gives stuff away for free' is a universal concept

[snow palm]

yeah and there are always exceptions

that's why i'm asking

but good to know, thanks for your help

[glass nest]

Sure, but I doubt the exception would be a commercial company offering a free version/sample of their product online.

The exception is... well, us lot helping folk. We don't seek validation or reward, we offer our experience and advice for free just cos we want to.

[exotic vector]

yesterday I was doing research into opsec because I was watching videos on really dumb threat actors lol

[glass nest]

Pff. Nerd 😄

[exotic vector]

I am a nerd

[glass nest]

A badge of honour

[exotic vector]

I often just read up or watch a video on something so when I get to that topic when im studying I already have a general idea

[glass nest]

Yeah, them internet black holes can go on for days 😄

[granite narwhal]

Thats right everyweek I study

But I dont want to get it out of it because I love it

[glass nest]

True, but right now you are feeling negative about it. Honestly, it's the same with any aspect of life. You gotta take a break, man. And a significant break - A few days of not looking at it at all.

[granite narwhal]

U know I need studying the burpsuite I need something to hack

[pine stratus]

hello tryhackme , can two people use the same account ?

[granite narwhal]

And everysingle day I think about it dream it about it

[glass nest]

Don't we all 🙂

lost bit - Why?

[granite narwhal]

Because studying so much

[glass nest]

That was directed at the other user 😄

[crude stump]

Hello hello

[exotic vector]

as you go through, theres a practice tab and it shows the current CTFs that you can do based on the rooms you've done so far.

[pine stratus]

to learn , i mean am working not having always time to study and my best fr wanna learn . so i wanted to ask if that possible

[crude stump]

Wow never knew this

[glass nest]

But, Gaza - you got yourself into a situation where your entire psyche is focused on a singular activity. It means that any good or bad things that happen spark a more powerful response. So any hard challenges will affect you more for this activity that something else in life. Hence take a break away from it for a couple of days.

[crude stump]

Is that new?

[glass nest]

lost bit - But it's free to join?

[pine stratus]

i pay for premium

[granite narwhal]

hi, for learning digital forensics, what should i use as a way to understand the file system/registry system for certain info? feels like the field is so large cause i'm currently doing the room "Secret Recipe" and like one of the questions is "What is the Computer of the Machine found in the registry?" do people just instantly know where to look or is there a cheat sheet that people use? I tried searching for a cheat sheet but it didn't help for this room lol

ما أعرف بصراحة

sup guys

[sudden bridge]

only english is allowed my guy

[vocal lantern]

Doesn’t work for me. 😔

[glass nest]

Magic - There are a LOT of resources online on how to fire up an operating system on Virtual Box or VMware. Have a bit of a search around and gather info

[vocal lantern]

😭

[vocal lantern]

I have for a while now, haven’t really got far. I just need to zone in, I have this issue with projects being to difficult I’ll simply go to another project and jump to the first one later on. If that makes any sense.

[glass nest]

Aye, you are in the right community, The Magic. Ok, so talk me through what you want to acheive (Assuming its to have a VM on your computer) and what you have done?

I think the first step would be to make sure your CPU supports virtualisation, and that it's turned on. Open the command prompt, type systeminfo and scroll down, probably at the bottom, under 'Hyper-V requirements' and make sure that virtualization is enabled

Could have been that you were doing everything right, but it just wasn't enabled 😄

[fossil quartz]

hlo

can anyone help me

[glass nest]

Doubtful, without any more details

Perhaps try to have confidence in yourself, and talk about stuff they might be interested in.

sometimes small gifts can help. Handcrafted ones tend to mean more.

(I went out on a limb and assumed the help you needed was to woo the person you are interested in)

[glossy parcel]

whats the best vpn, is it mullvad?

[glass nest]

Whats the best pizza, is it pepperoni?

(Point being, its down to personal choice)

[half girder]

pineapple btw 😛

[glass nest]

Oh Kanga, always the controversial one 😄

[half girder]

of course 😉

sticking my finger into the wounds lol

[glass nest]

Anything else would be ludicrous

Well, I hope you washed your hands first

[half girder]

na, actually my favo is pizza sucuk .. its like a casual salami pizza but with turkish salami

[glass nest]

Is the pizza casual or the salami?

[half girder]

well, you know what a salami pizza is like, this one has just the salami replaced with sucuk 😉

[glass nest]

Ah, I getcha. I'm not sure I've ever had turkish salami. How does it differ from Italian or German?

Other than.. y'know, which football team it cheers for in the World Cup

[half girder]

lotta garlic and halal meat

[glass nest]

Aight aight.

[half girder]

not a friend of the halal stuff but this one tastes good (ethical reasons)

[glass nest]

I wonder if they'd have it in the European food shop near me

[half girder]

hm good question especially turkey isnt part of europe

perhaps rather in an arab shop or so

[glass nest]

some salamis don't cook great, but I'm guessing sucuk does

Good point. Not too many of those near me. Next time I head to a bigger city, I'll get some

Am I pairing it with pineapple 😄

[half girder]

you may pair it 😉

[snow palm]

hello again, i have another question regarding the VPN someone here recommended me, which is currently proton:

so let's assume with my current free version i'm using they are indeed selling my data for marketing purposes, which - currently - isn't that big of a deal regarding the additional layer of protection it gives me nonetheless.

let's assume i would want to protect my data in the future: should i switch the VPN provider or would you assume they stop selling my data once i pay a monthly or yearly fee?

the thing about proton is that the fees aren't all too high and the paid version includes setting up up to 10 devices compared to 1 device. just to be clear: i'm not marketing here, rather trying to get an impression of you whether the paid version would safe bet keep my data private.

if not: which VPN providers do you know of that are safe in that regard?

[half girder]

im not a pizza snob ^^

[silver sky]

Nah. You tell them "yo piff ting what's your BBM pin, ya got back ya 'now"

[glass nest]

Umm. Wheres Jabba? I need this translated from 'young speak' to 'old people speak' 😄

[half girder]

@snow palm what are you protecting from? seriously? you have a router which blocks all incoming connections .. most malware infections happen by drive-by downloads or user interaction

[naive violet]

They have it in Lidl sometimes

[glass nest]

Kanga - Me neither. I think @blazing granite might be though :p

[half girder]

and a vpn doesnt protect you from that

[glass nest]

Ooh, good shout. Lidl does come out with the hits occasioanly. The Beef carpaggio...mmmmm

[half girder]

smh... i dont get it why people insist using vpn for "security" reasons

[snow palm]

how the fuck would i know i'm still new to this whole cyber thing myself

[glass nest]

👀

[half girder]

you dont need a vpn 🙂 except in public wifis with notebook

[snow palm]

it's more anonymity

[glass nest]

Or to sound cool on a cybersec server

[snow palm]

i couldn't care less about that

[half girder]

and you are worried the NSA sees which streams you watch? 🙂

[glass nest]

Yeah, They know. they already know.

[half girder]

no one besides the 3 letter companies monitors you

[snow palm]

nah, i don't really care about the NSA

i'm not from the US

[half girder]

and they get so many data, they dont look for specifically you, besides you look for nukes or so lol

[snow palm]

yes, i know that

[rapid merlin]

Anyone from Paraguay?

[glass nest]

I'll say this outright: If you are only starting out in Cybersec, and learning on platforms like THM a VPN isn't really needed (for connecting to the machine is it is, but theres no need to remain anonymous)

[rapid merlin]

I need a lawyer

[glass nest]

Oh Miguel - every time you post, it's something new and random 😄 I love it

[snow palm]

i could tell that as well. it's for other reasons i'm not going to elaborate here.

[half girder]

@snow palm there is no need for vpn, thats bottom line the result .. except perhaps in some third world countries where the free internet might get you in jail and there, most vpn providers are blocked anyways

[glass nest]

Good. So my advice: Don't plan on doing anything that you need to remain anonymnous for. at best, it's iffy, at worst it's criminal

[snow palm]

really? well from what i've read on books and heard from others, a VPN is a must if you would like to enter the dark web for example

[glass nest]

The fact that you are asking kinda indicates your inexperience and lack of research on the subject. Rather it highlights an intention to perform some illegal action where you will 100% get caught

[half girder]

ehm nope, not really. "dark web" is just TOR and that is monitored anyways as latest press releases indicate

[snow palm]

as they indicate, yes

the BKA didn't break vanguard, it's highly unlikely

[half girder]

https://www-tagesschau-de.translate.goog/investigativ/panorama/tor-netzwerk-100.html?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=de&_x_tr_hl=de&_x_tr_pto=wapp

[snow palm]

they just caught another provider for some very grim shit and put them into jail, nothing special, it's probably that the BKA just wanted to make it seem like a big thing in order to gain notoriety since most TOR nodes are located in germany

[snow palm]

i read that, yes

again, highly unlikely. the german news agency "tagesschau" isn't really that reliable when it comes to objectivity

[half girder]

cant think of a more serious news site

[glass nest]

The Onion?

[half girder]

lol

[snow palm]

every country publishes propaganda

even germany, contrary to what the germans say

[half girder]

anyways, my 2 cents, get a vpn account then 🙂

Yeah? Well if you enjoyed London, you'll love pretty much anywhere outside of it.

[half girder]

ive seen more pubs in london (inside) than tourist stuff xD

[glass nest]

Haha, embracing the british culture! nice

[half girder]

well german pub culture doesnt really differ from the british one ^^

[glass nest]

London is the same as any capital - more expensive than the rest of the country

Except that the beer is warm 😄

[half girder]

also oxford and windsor were nice, loved oxford a lot

[glass nest]

@shell nova Might like it

[half girder]

@shell nova will like it for sure ^^

[glass nest]

Yeah, oxford is really nice

[ruby sand]

[half girder]

and in both, of course more pubs seen (inside) .. had to make sure the beer tastes the same cough

[glass nest]

Enumeration is important

[half girder]

exactly

[ruby sand]

honestly tho, what better way to travel than to immerse yourself in the local culture??

[glass nest]

I did the same in Berlin 😄

[ruby sand]

I always do the same... usually try to find local guides to show me around or at least reccommendations

[half girder]

berlin ill be january .. schooling for a few days .. guess ill do QA in pubs ^^

[ruby sand]

it's fun to get off the beaten path and see what life in different places is actually like, much more interesting than museums and statues

[glass nest]

I don't know if it's still there, but theres a top-floor pub/bar called Monkey Bar, as it overlooks the mokey cage in Berlin Zoo next door 😄

[half girder]

actually i always do culture trips, but in london i wanted to get in touch with people, so i talked a lot with them, whether they wanted or not 😉

and cmon, the view on the tower bridge is really amazing

[glass nest]

Certainly iconic

Did you head to the Cutty Sark? big 'ol boat

[half girder]

errr warship there?

[glass nest]

Which is also the place where youi can stand on the mreidian line 😄

[half girder]

ah ok, i only saw a warship there you could visit

Jowp posting my spirit guide

I'm going against the encouragement of the server and procrastinating cleaning my house 😄

[pearl raven]

My rubber ducky programming mascot is a funko Ron Swanson 🙂

[sand trench]

well the closest you can get is by not using any electronics but yeah bet that is not what you wanna do
next best would be to use electronics without the internet.... but bet that is not what you wanna do either
next would be using some darknet or peer to peer connection scheme to bounce your connection around the world and thereby make you harder to track
the most common way for that is tor... and you would want to use it from a live usb in the form of tails
after that it is tor through whonix vms
after that it is using a vpn where you can pay by cash or crypto and never sign up with email or phone number/ mullvad and ivpn stand out here
combine that with a good browser like mullvad browser
from there you are now dropped into normal privacy and not really anonymity anymore

[glass nest]

As is appropriate

[sand trench]

yeah.... but without using tor or other setups for peer to peer networks qubes is more of a security product then an anonymity one

[crystal radish]

true i mean you can use qubes and run whonis as a qube

[sand trench]

true

just felt that qubes was more on the security front so therefor not including it

Hi Everyone, quick question, I'm coming back to THM and I see the point to 0xD over 20k pts. I got the title but the points not enough. Will it be updated if I play a room?

[sand trench]

20k point is what is requried for 0xD any points over that only go to furthering your position on the leaderboards

[pearl raven]

I think the concern is he has 0xD currently, but not the points to match it.

If he does a room and gain points, he is concerned about losing the rank?

[somber latch]

Hmmm, I mean in my current badge is 0xD and I got 10K pts. Does it updated if my pts is updated?

[sand trench]

huh that is weird

[somber latch]

It was from 2021. It's been a while since I left THM forum.

[grave nexus]

Hey, everyone!

Quick question

Does this server touches on embedded systems and RF systems?

[snow palm]

alright so in case anyone's wondering: i've read through all of the terms and services of proton and they do indeed not sell your data. just saying because those two smartasses around here were too busy smartassing instead of just saying "haven't looked into it, i don't know"

so there you go folks, if you would like to use a free vpn without the risks, use proton, it's not a nonprofit for no reason

[naive violet]

We talk about it sometimes

[peak shore]

Will there b a black friday sale?

[urban pelican]

hmmm, won a T-shirt on the cyber security 101 , received code but does not work. as suggested i contacted support. More then a week ago now, received confirmation on my ticket but not yet any solution

[sand trench]

shadows problem with proton is their need for an email address and for payment options that require some sort of personal info.... not whatever they do with said info...

as well unless the government decides what shadow has done is illegal they will not hand that info to any one but you know

[exotic vector]

yeah thats why I havent set one up yet

[sand trench]

still trust proton a lot and shadow is planning on going full out and get their ultimate plan sometime soonish

just don't trust them on the not getting any info that could tie back to shadow if government comes knocking

i.e mullvad and ivpn have the benefit of your account just being some random letters and numbers and you being able to pay by sending cash in the mail or using privacy respecting crypto currencies

this way there is basically no data to hand over

also god darn is harmony of disonnance hard

[exotic vector]

I had a look at mullvad yesterday, I think I am gonna go with them but still doing my research

[high mulch]

mullvad vpn + mullvad browser

[sand trench]

good combo yeah

[urban pelican]

@exotic vector looks good : Mullvad is one of the few that actually walks the walk. Mullvad doesn’t require any personal information to sign up or use its service and actively advises users to pay for the service via crypto or cash rather than a credit card or bank transfer so it can process as little information about a user as humanly possible.

[rapid merlin]

Excited for my books to arrive

[pearl raven]

Which ones?

[sand trench]

they also basically does no advertising with the money they get and also have no affiliate programs or discounts

[lament tendon]

All of them, probably.

[pearl raven]

lulz

[sand trench]

shadow just ordered all the text of the library of alexendria on paper scroll... it is gonna arrive in a few -1000 years

[rapid merlin]

They’re right all of them 😂

[blazing granite]

that’s my name don’t wear out 😂 😛

[pearl raven]

Yeah, they got me. I should have asked, which books are coming?

[lament tendon]

Technically speaking, paper is better at retaining information long term then any current hard drive.

[sand trench]

yeah just not when it have burnt to ashes

[lament tendon]

Hence I have set up a raid system that engraves my stuff into stone tablets.

The swap space is a little slow, but what gives.

[sand trench]

apparently complaints about poor services and wares on clay tablets is the longest lasting media we have

[rapid merlin]

I’ve got ghost in the wires coming, blue team handbook and one on OSINT

[glass nest]

Gold may retain shape better than stone over the longer term

[lament tendon]

Hmm, no clue.

[cedar scaffold]

ghost in the wires is really good

that and sandworm have been two of my better reads this year

[left dagger]

sup yall

[rapid merlin]

What is sandstorm about ?

[lament tendon]

I got gifted a book called "RCE" with a fully pink cover but I am yet to read it.

[cedar scaffold]

big russian state hacker group, that go by the name sandworm

tracks a lot of their stuff, real interesting

[glass nest]

Stealth - the Cuckoos Egg by Cliff Stohl. Great read, and the author is like.. an actual mad scientist nowadays.

[cedar scaffold]

oh that as well

cuckoos egg was a cracker

all top tier reads

I not long ago reqd the Lazarus group book too

[rapid merlin]

What’s your favourite Osint book ?

[glass nest]

they don't really publish much anymore, but the Phone Book was a good OSINT read

[cedar scaffold]

I haven't read all that much tbh, those three plus the Lazarus group is most of my reading cyber wise

[lament tendon]

The phone number registry.

Damn, Esqy typed that faster.

[glass nest]

OSINT is a pretty rapidly changing landscape, so I dunno if a book can keep up

[rapid merlin]

But some stuff must stay the same

[lament tendon]

I don't really like books for hacking related topics to be fair.

[rapid merlin]

Like social media eg

[lament tendon]

Most of my knowledge comes from writeups articles and blogs.

[rapid merlin]

I love books

[lament tendon]

And, well, practice.

[glass nest]

Social media is the one that changes the most

[cedar scaffold]

countdown to zero day
Lazarus heist
sandworm
cuckoos egg
ghost in the wires

are all reads id recommend

[rapid merlin]

Oh

🥴

[glass nest]

And books love you too, stealth

Kevin Mitnicks 'Art of..' books are good

[rapid merlin]

At least something does

[cedar scaffold]

most of my recent ones have been on audible tho, easy to do on commute to work

[rapid merlin]

I don’t work and I prefer paper

I like touching it

The book

[cedar scaffold]

I prefer books

[rapid merlin]

The papers

[cedar scaffold]

but sometimes it's less convenient

I prefer books over ebooks too

[lament tendon]

Personal preference for me is just to try stuff.

Read docs or tutorials while setting stuff up and then just see where it goes.

[rapid merlin]

Where do you find write ups then.

[glass nest]

We could liquidise the books and inject them directly into our bodies?

[exotic vector]

I use thm for my learning / practice, I watch bombal to get a general overview of a topic, and then I search around to learn more about topics like read through documentation, find write ups etc.

[rapid merlin]

How do I start my own write ups

[cedar scaffold]

that doesn't sound great or fun

[rapid merlin]

I just eat them

[cedar scaffold]

[rapid merlin]

They did say to ingest the information

[glass nest]

You get out your notes, and add a few bits. Boom. Writeup

[lament tendon]

Get a medium.com account, ot make your own blog page through github pages, or gitbook, or any other webhoster.
Write writeup/blog about any topic you like.
Press publish.

Would recommend a Github pages page, to be honest.

[cedar scaffold]

[lament tendon]

Should be free and you can add your own domain name to it if you have one.

Getting to web hosting ontract will cost money.

[glass nest]

Issue is, As she is all about stealth, we wouldnt be able to see it.

[rapid merlin]

What’s a git hub pages page

[lament tendon]

Or you selfhost, maybe with DynDNS or something.

[glass nest]

It's a page on git hub pages

[lament tendon]

Github allows you to host a static website for free.

[rapid merlin]

Oh wow

I didn’t know that

[lament tendon]

It is generally hosted on <username>.github.io, if you have set up a repository for it.

[glass nest]

It's like a book that you write, but on a computer screen!

By the recording you send, I assume you are using W11.
Press the windows key, search for remove programs, or installed apps, click it, you'll have the installed apps you have, go to the xbox app, you may click on uninstall, reset or repair.

[lament tendon]

Damn, that reminded me of the original song.

[agile flicker]

did that

yeah..

Do you think it will be fixed on the next windows update?

It would be an Xbox App update probably.

[agile flicker]

how do I downgrade windows updates?

I'm going to try to download a older version

Sounds like you need to speak to Microsoft rather than here.

No offence but we ain't Xbox support.

the version vefore this.

[sick lance]

Use google, we have gave you enough...

[agile flicker]

alright

[agile flicker]

Well, once you've uninstalled the xbox app, on the settings window

go to "settings > Storage > Cleanup recommendations"
click on temporary files, tick previous windows installations, downloads and recycle bin. Then clean that

Just be careful with Revo. Sometimes can remove files that actually aren't related to that software you want to uninstall

How the hell is your pc still running

[opaque hearth]

Isn't there a limit of 3 or something

[agile flicker]

is this normal

[sick lance]

I'm not doing THM.

[opaque hearth]

How do you have 9 with 64

[glass nest]

Look how happy that monk is!

[sick lance]

Very easily?

[opaque hearth]

I opened linux once and it was using 6 without anything running

[sick lance]

Did you assign it 6?

[opaque hearth]

I made the limit 8

Wait

Does it use the assigned value

I thought it's a limit

@sick lance he Belgian economy would grow by 1.1% in 2024 and 1.3% in 2025. In the process, 16 000 and 25 000 new jobs would be created, respectively. The employment rate barely rises. Inflation is estimated at 3.2% this year and would fall below 2% in 2025. These projections assume unchanged policies and thus do not anticipate measures that have not yet been decided.
and limited recovery of the European economy...
In the euro area, economic growth was limited to 0.4% last year due to high inflation and an unfavorable investment climate. GDP growth is expected to pick up slightly to 0.8% in 2024 and further to 1.3% in 2025 driven by private consumption (thanks to wage and employment growth) and exports. Investment would record a modest recovery.
...which also positively affects the Belgian economy
The Belgian economy grew by 0.3% in the first quarter of 2024 (as in the three previous quarters), but slowed slightly to 0.2% in the second quarter. In line with the improvement in the international business cycle, Belgian growth should pick up to 0.3% from the third quarter of 2024 and to 0.4% from the second quarter of 2025. On an annual basis, GDP growth therefore slows from 1.4% in 2023 to 1.1% in 2024 and resumes to 1.3% in 2025.

[sick lance]

Holy wall of text I didn't ask for.

[opaque hearth]

Do you use virtualbox or something else?

[sick lance]

I use Vmware primarly, buut right now I'm stuck using Vbox.

[glass nest]

Slumming it, Scrubz 😄

[sick lance]

I'd convert them all to Vmware, but I can't be assed to go through the steps for 9 different machines.

[misty zealot]

Belgium economy sounds pretty still

[opaque hearth]

How many do you assign to it

[misty zealot]

And theyre counting on their public to get higher salaries to spend? Or did I misread that

[sick lance]

Depends on the VM, The most I've assigned is 8, the least I've assigned is 512MB.

[opaque hearth]

Well how many should I assign

I got 16

[sick lance]

You could use 8 comfortably

Kali doesn't really anymore than 8.

Although sometimes I give it 12.

Hello! Could someone possibly help me? A stranger logged into my Facebook account and put a 2fa on it. This happened once, but then I simply did the account recovery option and the problem was solved, but now it won't remove 2fa. Maybe someone who knows about it or has been there before can help?

[rapid merlin]

I just had a vertigo attack and dropped 🥴

[half girder]

how about asking facebook about it? i would bet they have a support.

[rapid merlin]

Now every wall is my friend

[cedar scaffold]

hope it passes!

[gray urchin]

I tried. I didn't learn anything useful. I really find it an unnecessary waste of time

[cedar scaffold]

if Facebook can't help in that scenario I don't really know who can.

since nobody outside of Facebook has control over acc access?

[half girder]

i smell a ex gf facebook scenario xD

[gray urchin]

They have no explicit live support, only pre-generated questions and answers, as I noticed

[gray urchin]

This is not the case

[cedar scaffold]

maybe not live support but they must have a support team

[loud marlin]

indeed

[rapid merlin]

He’s pretty

[half girder]

also big cat underneath the furr?

[rapid merlin]

Yeah

He’s fat

😂

[half girder]

😮 poor him

[rapid merlin]

Nah he’s actually normal sized

The fur defo gives him some extra width

[half girder]

the male cat i had before looked all puffy and big .. but it was just furr

[rapid merlin]

Yeah fluffy animals look big always that’s why it’s best to get the weight of an animal.

He recently went to the vets so I’m sure his size is fine

[glass nest]

So... @silver sky Might just be all fluff?

[half girder]

probably ^^

[rapid merlin]

Yeah he wears a skin suit

It’s actually all silicone

😂

[half girder]

we will know once he shaves ^^

[silver sky]

Never will I disgrace the gods by shaving

Esqy... i made box 🙂

[glass nest]

Eesh. Musta been a fortune in filiment!

[rapid merlin]

Oh I love that organisation

[loud marlin]

nah. its quite small box

[silver sky]

Can you organise my life like that?

[loud marlin]

sure...

[glossy parcel]

woah.. whats this for

[rapid merlin]

same, thanks

[glossy parcel]

nuts and bolts, or radio tech

[half girder]

sure you dont want a serious answer, but stoicism is the way to go 😉

[loud marlin]

on work in lab, i got things organised that follow every OCD rule in world 🙂

[glossy parcel]

i cant tell

[wooden totem]

why is youtube not considered video/streaming content, mister EDGE

[glass nest]

hehe, I wanted some store/organiser boxes for my drill bits... and a box of bits from temu were like £3. so I bought a couple. Just for the box 😄

[loud marlin]

box for m2 and so bolts

[glossy parcel]

no ide what m2 is

[cedar scaffold]

ayyy that's a cute floof!

[loud marlin]

bolts

[tranquil zenith]

Sorry to interupt the chat, can anyone advise on a resource for the rules of adding our own write-ups to the rooms?

[glass nest]

funny you mention that.. I can't find my box of machined bolts anywhere

[loud marlin]

i got like 3x boxes with mixed dimension so i sort them like this

[half girder]

just dont give the answers, censor them. gotta rephrase a bit, explain the way but not just giving flags etc

[glass nest]

Cherub - It's a measurement for the diameter machined bolts. M1 = 1mm, M2 = 2mm etc

[rapid merlin]

He’s so floofy

He has pretty eyes

Thats how all good tool collections start. Get the tools you need for the task, and it builds over time.

@boreal scarab is always breaking stuff

[glass nest]

Tomorrow is gonna be back to reorganising the garage. I never knew 'too many tools' was a thing.

What am I saying, That can't be true

[silver sky]

Normally my sanity when he runs off and gets shot in Ready or Not

[rapid merlin]

This is the one I got

[loud marlin]

that's nice

[glass nest]

Thats a good set, I have one of those too

[rapid merlin]

It’s really nice

Loads of different bits so it covers a large variety of tech

[glass nest]

pretty inexpensive, too.

[rapid merlin]

It’s cheap

And it’s not bad quality

[glass nest]

I didn't wanna say that 😄

[half girder]

when they survive a home renovation, they are good. a couple of bits can be quite expensive but they last forever then 😉

[silver sky]

Gefjon, Odin, Mimir (via Odin has he has his head), Snotra, Sága are all good ones to seek guidance from.

[glass nest]

Well, if you are wearing out/breaking bits that often, thats when you know it's time to buy a decent one

[rapid merlin]

Mine still working and I’m pretty rough with my tools

[silver sky]

I am not gonna say anything

[half girder]

worth to quote xD

[loud marlin]

also esqy i made this for printer parts

[glass nest]

Oh yeah, Mine too. But then working on tech stuff doesn't usually require too much roughness

Thats neat

[rapid merlin]

Yeah what I meant was I’m not very careful

And nothings broken yet

[glass nest]

it'll happen, don't worry

[rapid merlin]

I’m more likely to break before my tools do

[glass nest]

it'll happen, don't worry 😄

[silver sky]

What's her breaking or the tools?

[glass nest]

Yes

[rapid merlin]

lol

[azure oasis]
