[dark frost]

look like you don't only open computer with that , but also doors 👮

[azure oasis]

Thank you

Hehe, funny you should say that - I had to bust out the lockpick kit yesterday. Someone at work had snapped the key to a padlock 😄

[dark frost]

i love the stiker you put on the laptop , where did you get them ?

[rapid merlin]

I really want a lock picking kit

[twilit peak]

hello

[glass nest]

UK bump keys 🙂

[dark frost]

same just for fun

[loud marlin]

not stickers. laser engraving

[half girder]

there are nice cheap sets on amazon, good enough for the beginning

[dark frost]

you did it ?

[azure oasis]

anyone good at decrypting a msql5 hash encryption

[rapid merlin]

Yeah I saw some for a score

[twilit peak]

hello guys I want learn cyber security

[loud marlin]

yes. got laser for dumb things lol

[half girder]

#start-here

[silver sky]

Nah that's my job with one of these

[glass nest]

Kanga - I picked up the Sparrows disc pick a while back. Was pretty lucky, as it's always out of stock

[azure oasis]

i know i can use hashcat or hydra but i tried

[rapid merlin]

What’s this

[glass nest]

Ah. The 'Big Red Key'

[silver sky]

The big red key

[dark frost]

so cool where can i obtain a lazer printer for aluminium 👀

[half girder]

was talkin the other day with a mate about a few because i want full metal picks

[loud marlin]

all depend of what you look for. i have laserpecker 4

its galvo laser. fast engraving bus smaller area

[dark frost]

1500$ oof but worth it 😄

[glass nest]

I actually loaned a bunch of my practise locks to a user on here.. Mercury, I think. Not seen them in years

[loud marlin]

that is quite lov price for laser. some are 5-6k

[rapid merlin]

Looks like they never managed to open them 😂

[dark frost]

yeah that one if for litle things, some bigger models are for sure expensif

[loud marlin]

indeed. and this is quite home stuff just one

esqy also have one just different

[dark frost]

did you made any money from it ? or is it a dust collector now ?

[glass nest]

Yes, mine is being installed in the hand of my 3D printed iron man suit

I've made a few quid from my laser cutting

[rapid merlin]

That sounds cool

[glass nest]

It does, it was also a mistruth, told for comic effect

My cutter is the Ortur laser master 2

[rapid merlin]

And I’m slow

😂

[loud marlin]

i made some money yes. just is more for me tbh

[glass nest]

And the gifts you make for people 🙂

[half girder]

doing everything for money reason is .. odd

[dark frost]

i mean when you buy something expensif like a tool , you want it to payback some of the investment 👀 not just capitalist though

[glass nest]

Not always

Although Goblin is right

[dark frost]

just spending money without return , you end up sleeping in the street

[half girder]

well, that wasnt supposed to start a discussion about capitalism, just wanted to point out you can also do for your own joy

[glass nest]

Yah. Living within your means

[dark frost]

my father has a garage full of machinery , we even have car lifter , to change oil easiers

[half girder]

love your tst sticker 😉

[glass nest]

Mine too, Dawiddym. He's retired, and like to work on old Jaguar cars

[dark frost]

wha so cool i though i was unique

you my friend now

[glass nest]

we are a good team. My garage is full of woodworking tools, so between the two of us we can... attempt.. to fix pretty much anything

[sturdy lark]

Dudes, is WD-40 contact cleaner a suitable option for laptop motherboard cleaning?

[glass nest]

Isopropyl alcohol is better

[half girder]

when you want to kill it, absolutely

[loud marlin]

alc 100%

[half girder]

wd40 is graphit ... i wouldnt use it on electronic

[loud marlin]

and for the lover of god do not use peroxide to clean MB... yes, i had friend who did that =/

[dark frost]

i have woodworking machine , but mainly metal stuff , like solder , TIG , a MIG too 😄 , a Lathe , 2 drill press ,

[shell nova]

Use rubbing alcohol yeah

[glass nest]

Also, Wd-40, is kindof designed to stick around. Alcohol will vanish

[shell nova]

Acetone might work in a pinch but could also cause damage

[half girder]

air pressure or 100% alcohol

[glass nest]

Thats cool, Dawiddym. I've never tried any welding or metal machining

[dark frost]

something like this

[shell nova]

Compressed air will work well as well

[loud marlin]

i 2nd that. if there is some kind of ABS plastic it can do quite bad dmg

[glass nest]

Thats a beast. I wouldnt even have the space for that 😄

[sturdy lark]

They claim that Contact Cleaner is a WD-40 variant specifically designed for precision electronic instruments

[shell nova]

Shouldn't be much abs on a mobo

[loud marlin]

indeed. abs is most one that get's dmg by acetone. and if is 100% acetone it can do dmg to other things yea...

[dark frost]

electonics don't like WD-40 it add an unwanted greese

[shell nova]

Haven't heard of the contact cleaner though

[loud marlin]

rubbing alc, as others alc, are natural destroyer of grees, fat and sugars. so they are nice to clean surface

[glass nest]

Yeah, WD-40 have a whole range of stuff now

[half girder]

and still the classics work best for cleaning parts

[shell nova]

Generally use the standard as a degreaser

[glass nest]

Yah. I did get some cutting fluid, as I had to drill through some stainless steel. Worked well wenough

[shell nova]

Should need a coolant/lubricant for that

[glass nest]

Yep, and WD-40 do a cutting fluid

[loud marlin]

or use diamond head drills or so. to not burn wood 🙂

[glass nest]

https://wd40.co.uk/products/wd-40-specialist/

Oh, I got all my wood bits sorted. But Stainless can 'work harden' if it get heated up by the drill bit

[sturdy lark]

https://www.wd40.com/products/contact-cleaner/

[glass nest]

For the stainless, I have the cutting fluid and Cobalt bits

[shell nova]

That sounds more like a pre-solder thing

[glass nest]

Which cost an awful lot, for drill bits

[dark frost]

i had some petroleum oil as cutting fluid

[glass nest]

Like.. Vaseline?

[dark frost]

we learning so many cool things in that computer enjoyers chat

[loud marlin]

i got some nice chemicals on work that can melt the shit out of everything... just sadly i can get them and have it iat home 😦

[glass nest]

Hehe, It's the hacker mindset. Gotta keep learning and trying stuff 😄

[sand trench]

anyone wanna play casual caller's bane against shadow???

the long used thingy

[pearl raven]

On the lockpicking thing (just got home) I really like covert instruments. YMMV.

[dark frost]

Rizz pick

😂

[silver sky]

I much prefer brute force

[dark frost]

looks good they even have the learning kits

and affordable

[silver sky]

Brute force is free 😉

[dark frost]

but there is damage :/

RIZZ PICK?
whats next the W bump ?

[silver sky]

Who cares about damage

Just don't kick your own doors /j

[dark frost]

that why i would learn that for ... if i somehow leave without my keys and get stuck outside ...

[silver sky]

I would suggest hiring a locksmith. So much easier legally

[ruby sand]

I like Covert Instruments too, but the folding picks just don't sit right in my hands.. I have problems enough with standard picks and hand cramps

[ruby sand]

that's a sketchy reason to learn lockpicking... you shouldn't ever pick locks that are in use. it's a hobby if you want to be safe.

[silver sky]

Erm. As a locksmith I can say a professional should pick locks. Amateurs nooooo.

All fun and games until you have to pay £150 to me for a new lock

Become friends with a locksmith. We have plenty of locks

[ruby sand]

what i meant was, hobbyists shouldn't pick up lockpicking in case they get locked out.... they should leave that to pros and just treat it as a hobby

[dark frost]

ah yes true i could damage, or fill the keyhole with unmovable object ...

[silver sky]

Amen

[quartz fog]

I know how to pick locks, when i was in student housing, folks would forget or misplace their keys, picked all the doors on my floor with ease

[dark frost]

i will just test on the learning kit for fun and curiousity

[silver sky]

I have attended a few jobs where people have tried to pick locks, sometimes with professional tools, sometimes not.

Pick gets broken and jams in the pins.

[cedar scaffold]

lock picking lawyer videos are usually a good quick watch

[silver sky]

These days it's all electronic locks!

[quartz fog]

it was a regular house full of student, not a purpose built thing

[silver sky]

Ahhhhhh

[dark frost]

haha

[quartz fog]

for electronic locks ... I'd just use a flipper and clone the key :p

[ruby sand]

that's well and good if it's an RF mechanism that isn't a rolling code

[quartz fog]

Haven't actually done that yet. not sure how often it would work these days

[silver sky]

Or just get the programming device 😉

hi

[golden dawn]

when does it make sense to enumerate kernel exploits suggested by linpeas? I tried a couple of them on few machines but they never worked (dirtycow comes to mind)

[glossy parcel]

do the roels automatically update

[dark frost]

no

you "/verify token" the bot

[shell nova]

They update daily

[sand trench]

;-; shadow is getting their butt handed to them in castlevania harmony of dissonance

[chilly veldt]

Ellooo

[ruby sand]

aside from evidently very difficult, how is that game??

[sand trench]

good but in need of graphical mod to not make your eyes bleed through bright colors and outlines

though the other gameboy advance castlevanias are better in shadows opinion

[ruby sand]

fair enough

well what's the saying, some days you're the statue, and some days you're the pigeon....

[sand trench]

https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/7086/

this is what shadow uses to make it bareable to look at

[dark frost]

do you play it on emulator ?

[sand trench]

nope play it in advance collection from steam

which in some regards could be considered an emulator after looking deeper into how the files for that works

just it is an official emulated version of the game

[rocky mulch]

i did few castlevania recently it's mind breaking how they are still insane

[dark frost]

never played any , but for a plateform/metroidvania gamestyle , the Level design is sick

look cool , and can be finished in a day

[ruby sand]

I just played through the original earthbound on my switch and it reminded me how awesome retro games were, will have to check this out

[sand trench]

heavily recommend aria of sorrow and all of the DS castlevanias

[ruby sand]

I wish i still had a DS... panel de pon on DS was my favourite game of all time... something about moving the blocks around with the stylus just felt so freaking good

[dark frost]

i only had pokemons games on my DS :/

[sand trench]

https://store.steampowered.com/developer/castlevania

this have made it easy to get into castlevania

[rapid merlin]

I haven’t had a DS in years

I got a switch

[sand trench]

sure they have not released all of the banging ones.... notably symphony of the night is missing

[cedar scaffold]

iv never played a castlevania
maybe I should take a look see

[sand trench]

well get a controller if you don't have one

they are basically unplayable with keyboard and mouse

[cedar scaffold]

buying things on steam is a favourite past time of mine

[sand trench]

hahahaa fair

[dark frost]

you have +1000 games ? and 99% unfinished ?

[cedar scaffold]

goes well with the top tier procrastination skills I have

[sand trench]

have about 350 games and 100+ are 100%ed in the past

[cedar scaffold]

I don't think that many since I stopped looking at humble bundles, but it's enough

[dark frost]

or bouth and never started or installed X)

i have 146 games on steam , but i passed most of my times on MMO , and not solo games .

[sand trench]

yeah it is up to you what kinda games you like

[dark frost]

i have a game named Warframe with 8800 hours on it

then counter strike with 2600 hours

[sand trench]

oooh another warframe player

heard good things about it but never gotten into warframe

haha yeah heard it is a farm fest

[cedar scaffold]

yeah WF is one of mine only 1.6k hrs, destiny 2 is like 3k though

[sand trench]

something broke ages ago when shadow used ubuntu with steam for steam hours played....

[cedar scaffold]

though I stopped playing WF around rail jack, so long time ago

[sand trench]

which is kinda sad as would really love to know exactly how many hours shadow has spent in some games

anyways gonna head to bed and sleep sloop to the beep boop for the meep moops now :P

you can calculate closeish estimate based on stats in game and approximation of average play time per day if playing is mostly consistent

[balmy siren]

Hello to Everyone

[snow palm]

reading through the context i can only say that osint content can be found everywhere to be fair

so the googling point stays

[glass nest]

One might say you can OSINT the OSINT

[snow palm]

this joke was horrible and baffingly smooth at the same time

[ruby sand]

in my experience you have to osint the osint... very little presents itself as osint except very beginner level osint stuff.... have you ever tried looking for a job in osint? google dorking is literally required to find jobs in osint

which actually makes a lot of sense

[snow palm]

is dorking actually illegal?

i tested dorking once with my old phone number to see if i can find any matches

[ruby sand]

no. google dorking is using specific google queries, nothing illegal about it

[snow palm]

after a while google wanted to have a captcha from me because of suspicious activity

which i therefore ignored just to be safe from potential authority investigation

[ruby sand]

i don't think google dorking is what you think it is

[snow palm]

intext: etc

[glass nest]

Hehe, after Micahel Jacksons death, Google started flagging searches for it as a DDOS attempt 😄

[snow palm]

at least that's the bit i know about it. haven't played with it much after that incident happened

[snow palm]

wdym

[ruby sand]

yeah, that's correct... why on earth would that be illegal? it's just specifying search terms and conditions in your web search

[snow palm]

depends on the country you're in, and what the use of it is

legal gray zone kinda thing

[glass nest]

Because so many people around the world were all searching for the same term, Google prevented the searches, as the algorithm thought it was an attempt to overload the servers. Or an attempt to bodge the top results. Either way, it's interesting

[ruby sand]

Sorry i came into this half way thru and haven't caught up on the context... if it looks like a DDoS attack that's one thing...

[snow palm]

aight i see so that's why you have to do the captcha?

[glass nest]

It's ok utilitron, WEe can work with half information 😄

[ruby sand]

It's a character fault... but thanks for using the royal we and not singling me out on it 😉

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @glass nest (current: #18 - 435)

[glass nest]

Well, a captcha is to prove you're not a bot. So perhaps your search terms mimicked something that an automated bot might be doing

[snow palm]

yeah but it could also be used as potential evidence in court

[glass nest]

Shrug. so could anything.

[snow palm]

let's say hypothetically, dorking would be illegal

google catches you and makes you fill the captcha so you can use google again, because they officially assume your device has been captured by hackers who are performing these dorks for you

would be a great trap, wouldn't it?

[glass nest]

A single search of 'how to hide a body' is certainly enough to cause somone known to be upped to suspect.

[ruby sand]

https://tenor.com/view/yap-yapper-yapping-what-huh-gif-17267607410251793922

[snow palm]

yeah but you'd still have to prove that it was you who searched for it and your phone wasn't stolen

see what i mean

[glass nest]

That seems to be a lot of effort on googles part. Just run a detection for bots, and try to stop each one

[snow palm]

okay, that point is valid

[glass nest]

I mean, yeah - But in reality those types of things would only be looked for as part of an active investigation.

Someone messing around on their computer when nothing else has been done... Shrug. It'll vanish into the billions or random stuff people search for every day

[snow palm]

i'm a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic. you'll be sending this meme more often in the future believe me

[ruby sand]

Sorry I don't mean to offend, I hope that was clear. Happy to have you here amongst the nerds! 🙂

[snow palm]

don't worry about it, i can joke quite well about it. the only thing i can't stand is people making me paranoid deliberately - for obvious reasons

[snow palm]

but thanks!

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @ruby sand (current: #948 - 4)

[glass nest]

Well, luckily on here paranoia gets quashed pretty quickly.

[snow palm]

what do you mean by quashed?

[glass nest]

gotten rid of

[ruby sand]

yeah, the mods are pretty quick and the code of conduct is pretty well defined here... discussion outside of those parameters gets stopped quickly and decisively.

[glass nest]

What we do here is all legal, ethical and above board. So usually when an inexperienced person starts chatting about VPNS and proxychains, we are like... Naaah. Just don't do the thing you are doing 😄

[ruby sand]

it's amazing how often that happens, too... a dozen times today i'd say.

[glass nest]

Used to be more 😄

[snow palm]

yeah i can very well understand that

[ruby sand]

"how can i be totally anonymouse on interwebz? i try install kali, but no works."

[glass nest]

And the 'please hack my ex's insta for a good reason'. Much less now than there used to be

[ruby sand]

thank god for that... what a nuissance.

[snow palm]

the actual reason why i got a vpn is to stream on twitch without getting my ip adress doxxed. don't know how that happens though on a technical level and if it is really that easy

[glass nest]

the average person can't do much with an IP address.

Even then, for the most part, you can just turn off your router for 5 mins and boot it back up and get a new one

It's still odd seeing your name all white, Ludde 😄

[ruby sand]

100%, and in that sense a VPN is a false sense of security... IP leaks happen all the time

i just spent an afternoon troubleshooting an IPv6 leak with my vpn, it would have been easy to miss that and let your IP slip

[loud marlin]

doing full backup is pain in ass...

[glass nest]

I think you might be plugging the HDD into the wrong place, ralex 😄

[loud marlin]

it is ssd and is still pain

[glass nest]

The joke still stands.

[ruby sand]

of course not... i have a vpn because it comes with the proton package i have, and use it when i'm on an untrusted network... not doing anything shady where i'd have to worry about that.

[glass nest]

Although you probably arent

[snow palm]

theoretically, yes - but realistically speaking it keeps you safe from your average script kiddie that may or may not want to take revenge or you, doesn't it?

[glass nest]

The average script kiddy... again, can't do much

[ruby sand]

i mean, A. i don't have script kiddies looking for revenge, and B. a vpn is really only good for funnelling your traffic out of an untrusted network to a trusted endpoint....

[glass nest]

Once you have a firewall in place, that'll keep most of those folk out

[loud marlin]

1h to go for backup lol

[glass nest]

Thats a good point, untilitron. Try not to be in a situation where peopl seek revenge 😄

[ruby sand]

ah get outta my head! how did you know i have no social media and make it a point not to get into nasty arguments with strangers on the internet?!? 😛

sure, this and reddit... and frankly i don't make my location a secret. it's just not on my threat radar

[snow palm]

btw

are some of you guys interested in geolocating?

like the stuff done with OSINT etc.

[glass nest]

for a second I thought it said 'Geocaching', I was like.. Hells yeah!

stanley - Have a look at TraceLabs. Very OSINT oriented. They even have an annual OSINT competition

[snow palm]

never done that but heard of it and that sounds cool as well

alright, well osint is a broad range. my main question was if there are any other fellow geoguessr players here who also got into that geolocating stuff

[glass nest]

I think it kept going for a while after he stepped away from it

idk, just gives me something to bob my foot to

also no lyrics so I don't sing and distract myself

[teal wharf]

btw if anyone knows how to fix the gui , it started tweaking after i updated

i managed to fix the desktop , it wasnt showing up at all

but the other icons are still not there ,aka the task bar

[rapid merlin]

Fr I thought how tf do they know it then I remembered

[loud marlin]

the top bar in kali linux ?

[teal wharf]

ye

[loud marlin]

try open terminal and xfwm4 command

[wild rose]

Edging for 6.5 hrs those are rookie numbers.

[teal wharf]

i did it , still nothing

this is the output tho :

(xfwm4:6368): xfwm4-WARNING **: 19:53:13.400: Could not create GLX context.

(xfwm4:6368): Gdk-WARNING **: 19:53:13.401: The program 'xfwm4' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
(Details: serial 1822 error_code 2 request_code 152 (GLX) minor_code 24)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

You dont need to bother yourself tho , its aight if there is no fix i will just reinstall and create a new machine

[loud marlin]

then try right click > application > settings > panels

and try play with it

try change possition and so on. might show up

[teal wharf]

It kinda worked to show the top bar , but unfortunately it is yet so buggy and messy

i couldnt switch between desktops

[loud marlin]

play with it a bit and try reboot

@mossy river

[teal wharf]

aight imma try that , thanks 🫶

btw im referring to the Edge's secure network, ik it doesnt matter really but its straight up not working.

If so do you mind sending me the link, I want to analyze it

[obtuse path]

Quick question. When using attack of and a room says to rdp, how do I do that???

Like I'm trying to use remote desktop connection in the attack box vm but it can't find the computer

Hello, #room-help for this

You can get more streamlined help there 🙂

[wooden totem]

Btw how am I supposed to make eye contact? Focus on one eye, focus between eyes, unfocused general direction to the face...

[ruby sand]

#room-help for that. You'll get excellent instruction on how to focus your eyes.

[loud marlin]

usualy by looking into smth you wish make eye contact 🙂

[ruby sand]

i dunno, i think it's about darting between the 2 eyes as quickly as possible

[pallid lotus]

Look at their forehead instead.

Or if it's a virtual call, just look at the camera and ignore their video 🤷‍♂️

[ruby sand]

This. with humans i'm really trying to think about how i look someone in the eye, but i don't have an answer... it just happens naturally

[wild rose]

I look at their lips move but I don't understand them.

[rapid merlin]

Theres a lot more bald people irl than in movies

Most actors have great hair in movies

[finite basalt]

yikes

I mean I got my work done but at what cost

no that's the songs I've listened to recently

I was jamming, it had no lyrics and was a tune

However, i listened to a 2minute 40 second song for 4 hours

I did the maths, I listened to it >90 times

[wooden totem]

When I focus the music just blurs into white noise and even if my fav songs comes up in a playlist I don't remember hearing any of it later

[finite basalt]

It depends, music keeps me somewhat grounded, otherwise I'll get distracted or disassociate from whatever I meant to focus on

one of my lecturers is also a mate of mine outside uni and started a phd and he asked me how my classes were going with him and I told him I couldn't actually remember any of the classes and that as much as I love him, I don't love uni so I'm in and out as quickly as possible haha

I told him the only class I remembered was the exam because he briefly stood next to my shoulder as he was invigilating and watched me

[wooden totem]

I like this type shit for background, not boring, not distracting - https://youtu.be/Ti6b4vMWY14?si=bEEutRgcrVIMH3o0

[finite basalt]

one of my other favourites for working to is the home depot theme

I listened to that 180 times in a row a few weeks ago

[finite basalt]

that's alright but I prefer busy music

[wooden totem]

After a point it stops being a music and you just hear a pattern of sounds

[finite basalt]

it depends, I like analysing music as I listen to it sometimes

[wooden totem]

Oh well at least for me, repeat is distracting

[finite basalt]

like picking up on harmonies and what not

that's why I avoid things with lyrics if I'm going to be working for a long time

[stoic quarry]

Fair

It's why I put on music in a different language

[quasi hedge]

How would you define hacking? -- trying to think of something to define it in my college essay to avoid the Hollywood hacker stereotype

[fallen burrow]

the art/science of deconstructing systems

[stoic quarry]

Finding and exploiting vulnerabilities in computer systems? 🤷‍♂️

[ruby sand]

breaking stuff for the sake of curiosity

[fallen burrow]

hacking can be many things, not just computers

also curiousity doesn't always have to be a motive

[quasi hedge]

Yeah

I'm thinking about finding creative unconventional solutions to a problem

[fallen burrow]

I think my definition would fit that pretty well then

[finite basalt]

currently trying to split a single playlist of 830 songs into multiple playlists

[fallen burrow]

just add some context to it

[stoic quarry]

Good luck

[ruby sand]

well then there's your answer. write about what hacking means to you, not a bunch of nerds on the internet.

[quasi hedge]

Well I'm a nerd on the internet also, but just wanted a few other opinions

8th Draft of my essay till now

[ruby sand]

hey nerd, glad to meet you. don't mean to sound short with you, just trying to encourage you to develop your own voice in your project!

you'll rarely get the opportunity to develop your own project in the future... now is a good time to really go nuts.

[stoic quarry]

[neon merlin]

Anyone have their seven day streak freeze just not work?

I just went past 2 today, and got reset to 0 but I have a 7 day freeze from the event

Maybe the logic wasn't coded correctly. So if you don't do it one day, your 7 day streak freeze is activated, then if you do it again the next day, the streak freeze is cancelled. Then if you miss a day again it's not remembering there's supposed to be 6 days left.

Plus I won a 1 day freeze too so I should have totally 8 days of freeze

Since starting with THM I've only missed 5 days

[sudden pond]

[azure hill]

Hey guys I just got my self a rapsberri pi pico 2, I'm wondering if anyone knows the laws relating to if I can make a pen testing tool with it?

For education purposes

I'd like to make a 'badUSB' that I can plug into a pc and open a rev shell to my pc is this allowed or a no go until I'm a professional pentester

[finite basalt]

I don't know about your country but in the UK I believe there are no laws governing the development of pen-testing tools as long as they are used lawfully and are intended to be used as such. That being said, if you are unsure about the laws in your country, you should check them

[sick lance]

"For educational purposes" doesn't make things less legal.

[finite basalt]

Like it's legal to make a badUSB as long as you aren't going round using it on random people without their consent.

[azure hill]

What should I google? "Development of pentesting tools in <country>

[sick lance]

Eh, I'd argue depending on what the took does, will depend how The Computer Misuse Act 1990 relates.

Tool

[azure hill]

Because in my country it's definitely FULLY illegal to make any kind of malware

so would a badUSB be considered malware?

I'm not sure whoelse to ask so thought I'd ask here

[finite basalt]

I'd look into the computer security laws and computer/technology laws specifically, it's not a quick read unfortunately

[azure hill]

Yes I've been googling but don't have a definitive answer

No worries I'll keep searching

[finite basalt]

It depends, if a tool is developed for educational use or lawful pen-testing then it's completely legal to create. As long as there is no evidence suggesting otherwise it is technically legal I believe but I've not looked at CMA in a while so I'd double check ofc

would be the section applying to the creation of such tools and from the title of the suggestion is seems that you have to make it for that purpose

So it specifically refers to programs/data and a person is only guilty if they make, adapt supply or offer to supply something used to commit crime under CMA, or if it would have been reasonable for that person to assume that the program/data they were make, adapt etc. would be used in such a way. Additionally the recipient also would be responsible of course.

So yeah if you created a proof of concept for instance, as long as it was genuinely developed for educational purposes or research it's not illegal under UK law

[quasi hedge]

Is it worth applying for this scholarship to gain some education from EC-Council (Yes I know why they're bad)
https://campaigns.eccouncil.org/cyber-career-starter-scholarship#Scholarship
Even if you get approved you still have to pay 200$

[finite basalt]

I've not looked at that so I couldn't tell you sorry

[azure hill]

Thank you I'll keep double checking just wanted to be sure

[sick lance]

Ec-council 🤢

[finite basalt]

hehehe

[quasi hedge]

I'm just trying to see whatever free thing's I can get approved for to put on my portfolio, I'm broke

[sick lance]

Ec-council have been known for their plagiarism and being very sexist.

Shit company, wouldn't touch their materials if you paid me.

[finite basalt]

right it's nearly 7am, time for a nap

[sudden pond]

@sick lance Are you still angry on me?

[south egret]

Check out SANS, theyre also offering a scholarship

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

[sick lance]

Are we really going down this route?

[sudden pond]

I just want to say SORRY

[south egret]

Awwww cmon scrubby forgive the silly goose already

[sick lance]

[simple valve]

The IELTS and IEEE fees are absurd

[quasi hedge]

[shrewd wharf]

Hi new here I’ve worked on pc for 1 year now I completed my sc-900 with Microsoft learning path a few weeks back happy to be here

[cloud quiver]

Welcome 🙂

[quasi hedge]

I'm getting a fee waiver from my high school for that, perhaps you could also

[simple valve]

I cannot as I am a working individual now

But if you’re high school, why are you trying to get your resume straight out?

[quasi hedge]

Why not?

I'm quite bored with high school, studying cybersecurity is interesting.

[silver sky]

Yeah I'm not hiring a child

😅

[quasi hedge]

For now just looking at internships, although that's a major issue I'm facing. Trying to go to local networking events to see if anybody will hire me

[silver sky]

Very unlikely

Very unlikely! I value experience/networking more than certifications

Three of my guys are completely unqualified, just word of mouth

Yeah well the difference is, I don't have entry level positions. Lots of companies will

[simple valve]

To be fair, companies that can hire new graduates often have seniors that can guide them. It’s hard to hire new people without support.

[quasi hedge]

My entire thing is, when I graduate how am I supposed to get experience without having experience

Just a infinite recursion loop it seems

[simple valve]

That’s fair also, companies want the best bang for their buck and they’re taking a risk on someone that has no experience.

Rather than investing in people who already do have experience.

[silver sky]

You seem to forget everyone's opinion is valid. Especially from those who are technically in the industry.

I have a small team that does physical pentesting. You can't certify for a lot of the stuff we do. But I actually only have no requirements other than you are referred via word of mouth/networking.

With all due respect, how did I crush a child?

High school means your 16. I legally cannot hire you as you won't be covered by my insurance.

[simple valve]

Yes but that’s idealistic, if they’re willing to put in the work, they can do so but it still stands that companies are taking the risk on someone who does not have experience.

[simple valve]

Often times, people will get into IT first before jumping into security.

There are circumstances where people have started working at security as their first job.

[silver sky]

At 16 you are still a minor.

Most companies won't touch you (other than McDonald's or something perhaps) due to insurance/thinking you won't be mature enough.

Anyway let's not row over this. It's words on the internet

[quasi hedge]

Yeah I'm also looking at tech support.

[simple valve]

It’s a great start but if you’re not of legal age yet, don’t start looking for jobs as they aren’t legally allowed to hire you.

You can still look at doing your own research and building your own IT home labs to build your competency.

[quasi hedge]

I do have a homelab already.

[glacial oasis]

hi guyz

im actually looking for anyone who uses ollama or a server for it

[quasi hedge]

I used to use it, why?

[sturdy jasper]

How do you stay interested

[quasi hedge]

I don't mind, people have their own opinion's, I can also have my own

[quasi hedge]

It's just interesting, how everything works

[sturdy jasper]

I'm very interested and not at the same time like it's just too much for my brain to comprehend but I wanna learn it

[glacial oasis]

oh any idea using it on ubuntu server?

im tryna test it out

[sturdy jasper]

I took a javacript course when i was in like 7th grade and passed it easily and now I have trouble doing everything as a highschooler

[quasi hedge]

...
curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh
https://ollama.com/download/linux

[glacial oasis]

ik how to install

im asking hows the UI

[sturdy lark]

@quasi hedge Are you planning to go straight into work? Not going to college?

[quasi hedge]

Is the server headless or not?

[glacial oasis]

like any performance or driver issue with Nvidia

[quasi hedge]

Depends, trying to get a few scholarships for college if not work till I have enough saved up.

[glacial oasis]

naah

it is not

[quasi hedge]

Then just install any ollama UI and use it

[glacial oasis]

any issues with drivers?

[quasi hedge]

https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui

[quasi hedge]

I'm not sure, try it out and you'll see.

[glacial oasis]

yeah what Open Web UI

[quasi hedge]

I only used it on windows so I'm not sure

[glacial oasis]

im so confused by looking at random forums

idk what is ollama n OpenWeb UI

[quasi hedge]

ollama is the runner of the AI models, just gives a api

While the UI allows you to see things in a pretty way

[glacial oasis]

oh like hosting ur own chatGpt?

Yes, I'm quite unsure what you're even trying to do since you just realized that it's like hsoting your own ChatGpt

[glacial oasis]

idk someone said it is like hosting ur own chatgpt

so i copied his statement

im all lost n hopeless

[quasi hedge]

Well hosting your own AI in my opinion is just too much of a hassle

[glacial oasis]

im just tryna test some alog on it

[carmine herald]

Nice, which gpu r u working with

[glacial oasis]

its a old laptop of mine

hi

how leaderboard rank works?

what point are counted for leader board placement?

[rapid merlin]

solving questions in rooms

[soft oxide]

i have 5280 point

[cloud quiver]

Both CTFs and walkthroughs

[soft oxide]

but in my country top rank has 3322 points

[cedar scaffold]

3322 seems low for a top rank?

[soft oxide]

i mean my aint my points more than him?

[rapid merlin]

What's ur country

[soft oxide]

Pakistan

[cloud quiver]

Maybe you're looking at the monthly leaderboard 🙂

[cedar scaffold]

98784 is top for pakistan

[soft oxide]

yes im talking about the monthly one

[cloud quiver]

You have monthly and all time board

[cedar scaffold]

did you earn all your points in one month? if not that's why

[soft oxide]

i am ranked 60 on monthly leaderboard

[cedar scaffold]

monthly is points earned in that month not total

[rapid merlin]

I have risen from the dead 👻

[soft oxide]

how to see how many points i have gathered in a single month?

[cedar scaffold]

morning! how's the vertigo? gone I hope?

[cedar scaffold]

find yourself on the monthly leaderboard I guess

[rapid merlin]

It did go last night and I actually slept

[cedar scaffold]

or go through your room history and calc by hand

[soft oxide]

wait

[cedar scaffold]

good to hear Miss stealth!

I slept v little, I finished work at 11pm and was back in at 6am

[soft oxide]

it just says rank 60

[rapid merlin]

On your monthly leaderboard you can see your rank under your streak number @soft oxide

[rapid merlin]

On a Sunday

🥺

[cedar scaffold]

[rapid merlin]

Sucks

Have I just installed spyware etc

[sudden pond]

go to http://burp to access Burp's local web interface.
You'll see a link to "CA Certificate" – download it.

[sick lance]

If it's AI, probably.

[rapid merlin]

first time earing that but is AI isn't it? in my experience AI is pretty useless, always makes some mistakes

[sudden pond]

First ensure the proxy is set for burp suite

[sick lance]

Yup, the "intelligence" is artificial.

[neon merlin]

It's an AI running in vscode that is supposed to be able to help you tab complete

well, you aren't wrong lol, then after that comes the security concers, who owns this AI?

Not really

I use ChatGPT in malware analysis

Great for decoding

[neon merlin]

I dunno I asked chatgpt to write two apps for me that work.

in python

[rapid merlin]

i tried that, i can confirm it is good for that

[neon merlin]

They are very basic apps tho

[rapid merlin]

but not if you are trying to build something

[whole gazelle]

yeah it's good for decoding and works great as google 2.0 but it never wrote even okay code for me

[rapid merlin]

but don't buy premium, that is a waste, something i tried too is for dumb tasks like excel, total failure

[silver sky]

Nah writing code is crap

[whole gazelle]

ai is valid alternative for googling

that's all

[rapid merlin]

[whole gazelle]

[solar flume]

[azure hinge]

oct 21....mssg was forwarded to marketing team but didnt get any respond from them

[sick lance]

Email again. 🙂

[azure hinge]

can you please provide me mail to marketing team...or else it may again get stuck at customer care

[signal vortex]

is cyber security the same as penetration testing
or the penetration tester can do the same stuff in cyber security but in a different way

[azure hinge]

isn't pentesting a part sub field of cybersecurity?

[signal vortex]

i d k

[azure hinge]

As per my understanding, pentesting is just a part of cybersecurity...Cybersecurity is much broader....

[glass nest]

Yah. There the whole other side - ie protecting yourself

[azure hinge]

can I get contact info/mail ...If possible of marketing team directly...I don't want it to be stuck again...

[sick lance]

Unfortunately I can't give that email as I don't know it,.please use support 🙂

[azure hinge]

please tell them to reply soon ...Lots of hopes...if possible can you provide me some contacts/referealls whom I can talk with

[neon merlin]

I'm officially dumber than a machine

[whole gazelle]

typos happen to eveyone bro

[sick lance]

I can't, if staff would like to get in touch with you they will. 🙂

[neon merlin]

tabnine is freaky it autocompleted this import code. I typed the first line 'decor' : load_image...
But it somehow knew I wanted to import grass and stone

And the path is correct

[naive violet]

Vscode has context of your project's file system for autocompletion

[rapid merlin]

Look at my new fern

[glass nest]

I refuse to look.

[rapid merlin]

It won’t send

😂

[glass nest]

Phew! I can't be spending my time looking at ferns! I have some camembert bites in the oven

[rapid merlin]

It’s so pretty though

I got a new carnivorous plant too

Another one

[glass nest]

Keep them away from my cheesy snack

[rapid merlin]

I want cheese

I’m actually hungry

Need to get to somewhere with a fridge asap

[glass nest]

Getting a mini-fridge for yourself will probably be cheaper

[rapid merlin]

But I’m out

[granite narwhal]

Whatsup everyone🤍🤍

[rapid merlin]

I have to locate someone else’s fridge 😂

[granite narwhal]

If I can get certfication of juinor pentester I can work in compaines online

[glass nest]

'Out' is precicely where the places that sell mini-fridges are

[sudden pond]

from THM?

[exotic vector]

so cold

[granite narwhal]

Yup

[sudden pond]

nope

[granite narwhal]

Also I have ejpt pentester

[rapid merlin]

Freezing yeah

[exotic vector]

the thm hoodie is warm but im still cold lol I have the heating on and a blanket around me

[glass nest]

unlikely, as THM certs are more.. Participation awards. As for your other certification - Check the job description and see if your skills, experience and certs line up with it

[rapid merlin]

Offt

[rapid merlin]

Im out and it’s pretty cold out

[granite narwhal]

So that mean just u acheive it right?

[glass nest]

The world could be your fridge

[sudden pond]

Antarctica

[glass nest]

Kindof, Gaza. Having the qualifications is only 1 step. You gotta prove to the employer that you can do the job.

And well.. y'know, be able to to the job.

[rapid merlin]

I’m about to raid someone else’s fridge

How to master it

[glass nest]

Practice

[sudden pond]

@rapid merlin Have you watched "cloudy with a chance of meatballs"

[granite narwhal]

Ctfs are the key

With junior pentester and many majors

[glass nest]

They can help get experience, certainly.

[granite narwhal]

Pentest+ and redteaming

[glass nest]

the 'key' is to make yourself desirable as an employee.

[granite narwhal]

How?

[glass nest]

companies who are looking for someone to employ usually provide a guide as to what they feel is desirable. Aka a job description.

Pop onto whatever your countries big employment website is and search for the job you want.

[granite narwhal]

In kuwait just blue team

[glass nest]

Look at a few of them and see what they all have in common

Shrug. A company that do blue team stuff probably do red team stuff too.

That is known as a 'foot in the door'

[exotic vector]

yeah the job descriptions in my country state what certifications they accept

[glass nest]

remember though those are only guidelines. If you genuinely think that you can do the job role and are missing a couple of the requirements, give the company a call/email and ... well, sell yourself to them. Telling them how great you are

[granite narwhal]

I feel my self lost

I need to master it

[glass nest]

When you do red-teaming, the most important thing is to enumerate. Gather info. Its the same with pretty much anything. Get as much info as you can, and then figure out a way forward with that information

[granite narwhal]

I need to finish juinor pentester and cybersecurity 101

And solve ctfs

[pallid lotus]

Don't bet on it. It's pretty common to just outsource it

[glass nest]

Yeah, but at the very least, its professional experience in the industry

[pallid lotus]

There's a band in which orgs are big enough to want in-house monitoring but not big enough / don't do enough development to require in-house pentests or red team ops

Also depends a lot on their approach to security and whether they're regulated

[pallid lotus]

This is true. Blue team -> pentesting -> red team is common

[granite narwhal]

I will never give up in my life

[pallid lotus]

That also applies to MSSPs as well. Many medium orgs just outsource their secops to another company who basically just provide a shared SOC. I'd say anecdotally that a majority of them don't do offensive consultancy as well. Would need to check exact figures there, but it's definitely less common.

[granite narwhal]

MSSPs

What is Mssps?

[devout palm]

Mississippi

[sick lance]

Let's not troll.

[devout palm]

Managed Security Service Provider

[sick lance]

What is everybody doing today?

[rapid merlin]

Just some walkthroughs and preparing for my exam tomorrow, wbu

[sick lance]

Working on my honours project.

Which exam?

[sonic pier]

Wdym by that? Like is it hard to get a red team career?

[glass nest]

About as hard as any other career

[sick lance]

It's easier with the method Muiri said, that is a common path.

[glass nest]

There are steps to go through, and there is always more than one route

[rapid merlin]

geometry and linear algebra

[sick lance]

However there are exceptions.

[sonic pier]

Oh lol cause I am in the red team but first I'll start from security analyst tho and keep processing from there

[sick lance]

My condolences. 🙏

[viscid violet]

I am working on jr penetration tester path. 😄

I hope I can finish

[sick lance]

You can do it.

[fair moon]

HEY GUYS

can anyone help me check if the file i got for hacking got rat?

im unsure whether my exe file has a rat

hidden

[glass nest]

Course you can do it, P.SBk. you got this.

[fair moon]

idk how to check

[glass nest]

Virus scanner?

[sick lance]

Use virustotal

[fair moon]

some of the files aint scanning

hackers sometimes make file too long to not get detected by antivirus i heared

[sudden pond]

you mean verify its integrity?

[fair moon]

can i send u the ifle so u can checek

[fair moon]

ye

[glass nest]

Hahaha

[sick lance]

No.

[naive violet]

We've had people in TryHackMe from Kuwait get pentest roles

[glass nest]

Ok, This was a first.

[naive violet]

A file you got for hacking?

[fair moon]

yea

idk if it got a rat

can i send the file if u can

[naive violet]

Ok let's talk through it

[sick lance]

Where did you get the file? [Don't send the direct link].

[naive violet]

What do you mean by "a file you got for hacking"?

[fair moon]

i got it on discord from a aquintance

its like hacking tool for minecraft xd

[rapid merlin]

What VPN do u guys use, I was thinking to get one

[naive violet]

What do you think the file is, or what do you think it does?

[sick lance]

I'll take a step back, don't want to confuse them trying to talk to two people.

[rapid merlin]

I heard OpenVPN and NordVPN are pretty good

[fair moon]

it is like scripting for game

[sick lance]

Use case?

[naive violet]

Don't cheat in videogames, it's unethical.

[fair moon]

ik but he said to beta test it cuz hes selling it

[naive violet]

Video game cheats are a super common way people get malware

[fair moon]

im just testing

idk if its safe to test

[errant fossil]

Mullvad

[naive violet]

Then you are part of the problem

Don't help people do unethical things

[fair moon]

but cant i check whether file is real or not?

[naive violet]

Not here.

[fair moon]

i mean in future sure i will get other files to deal with

[naive violet]

We have a zero tolerance policy for unethical or illegal activities here

[errant fossil]

Unless its singleplayer

[fair moon]

idek if i would have my bank details stolen

[naive violet]

This includes game hacking.

[naive violet]

Here, we do not make the distinction really.

Makes it clear cut.

[errant fossil]

Oh Alr, Understandable

[fair moon]

well im preety sure its a learning platform

just learning new things

[rapid merlin]

Mainly for general online protection, to keep my information secure

[sick lance]

Mullvad seems to be suggested alot for privacy.

[grim sparrow]

@fair moon has been warned.

[sick lance]

Persoanlly, I use Malware-Bytes

[naive violet]

Don't need a VPN for most of that

[fair moon]

also im new to server so i didnt knew bro

[sick lance]

Protection of your info? eh.. Don't post it.

Saves people being a creep and trying to Osint you.

[naive violet]

You agreed to the rules on joining, and you continued after I let you know about the zero tolerance policy

[fair moon]

alr sorry sir

[granite narwhal]

In kuwait get jon

Job?

[naive violet]

If you don't trust the file, simply don't run it.
Don't deal with people who do illegal things, it's really that easy

[naive violet]

Yes they got a job in Kuwait

[granite narwhal]

How?

[naive violet]

Same way most people do, by applying for it

[granite narwhal]

Can u accept my request friend

[sick lance]

Please don't do this, it's impatient.

[granite narwhal]

How?

[naive violet]

Please don't send friend requests without getting permission, it is against the rules

[granite narwhal]

Were the places can u ask them

[naive violet]

It's the same everywhere. Look at job boards, look at company postings

[glass nest]

Gaza - Honestly man, You've got all the info. Look for the job you want, see what they require and you can build your own path from there
