April 5th, 2024

[pallid lotus]

See, this makes absolutely zero sense.
Britain: small, medium, large
ISO: large, medium, small

... America: medium, small, large

[glass nest]

the last one has more freedom.

[chilly veldt]

nope 4th may 2024

[pallid lotus]

You muppets can't even put things in order of size!

[sand trench]

guess this is why shadow can't see the difference between OCT 31 and DEC 25

[swift ice]

an American small is just a global medium/large lol

[exotic vector]

april'th of 4 2024

[sick lance]

Going by their food portions, America doesn't have a small.

[ruby sand]

duh... ever been to texas?

[swift ice]

y’all scamming us with small portions

[rapid merlin]

[pallid lotus]

How the hell did you mess that up?

[boreal scarab]

Technically, the month is smaller, smaller numbers.
the day is medium, cause there's more numbers
Year..... largest

[teal wharf]

fr american food dont serve "small"

[sick lance]

Smaller..

[sand trench]

31 in octal == 25 in decimal

[sick lance]

Numbers?

[boreal scarab]

Smaller numbers

[swift ice]

American small is non-American by nature

[pallid lotus]

A month is a unit containing days ffs

[boreal scarab]

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12

[pallid lotus]

That's like saying that one hundred is smaller than 10

[boreal scarab]

12 numbers

YAY I can count!

[pallid lotus]

You do not view dates in octal Shadow.

[sand trench]

probably why shadow is confused

[rapid merlin]

DON'T PUT 5.56 IN 300 BLACKOUT

OR 300 IN 5.56

[silver sky]

5.56 won't fit in a 300 blackout

Why would a Betta fish need to hack?

What is everyone's opinion on the effectiveness of learning from tryhackme, has it helped you become a better hacker in general and is it the right path for someone like me?

I want to get deeper into hacking, but I've found it hard to find the right resources, so is tryhackme a good path for me to get a foundational understanding in hacking?

[whole gazelle]

yep

[glass nest]

Yes. Its has and it does 😄

[half girder]

[wild rose]

You get what you put in.

[cedar relic]

Hey i need help and idk if this is the right server for this, i need to cheeck if something is a scam and what can i do about it

[half girder]

when you question it, its more than likely a scam

[glass nest]

And you can contact the company who they are emulating, or report it to the proper authorities

[wooden totem]

What if it's a real lost relative and you are one phone call away from endless riches

[cedar relic]

I reporter it to Instagram bc iz was an ad

[glass nest]

Sorted then 🙂

Good work, Ivan

[half girder]

perhaps an african one, who is also a prince and also needs to move a few millions? well, too bad ^^

[void goblet]

Will be taking up the OSCP+ anyone interested or planning to do the same or is doing the same can hit me up will be a beta bitchhh for this

[half girder]

[cedar relic]

Buttttt it was a web to buy pice of chlothe and i bought two and i was about 24h ago if its a scam what is posible to do

[glass nest]

Did you pay for it using a card?

[rapid merlin]

You could contest the charge from your bank.

[cedar relic]

Yea its was my moms card and a transferd my money to her card so she can buy it

[glass nest]

Ok, well, she can report it to her card company and hopefully get the charge reversed

[cedar relic]

Will reporting to chloting company help?

[glass nest]

So.. how do you know it was a scam?

Not everything has next-day delivery

[wooden totem]

Pretty sure it says estimated time when on the order page

[rapid merlin]

^

[wild rose]

a tracking or confirmation number?

[glass nest]

Yeah, but I wouldnt assume scam if a product might be a day or so late.

[rapid merlin]

nevermind, don't want to take the HTB cert anymore

things go wrong with shipping every now and then

they look like moneygrabbers

what HTB Cert

CPTS?

[glass nest]

If you just have some buyers remorse, you can always return it when it arrives

[rapid merlin]

yes

[cedar relic]

Well today i went again on web site and it showed me a messege that site is not safe then i looked and ad on instegram and it didnt look so real

[rapid merlin]

don't know much abt it

idek how much it is

[cedar relic]

I check the real company ig and didnt have that ad on it

[rapid merlin]

EJPT was the second chance

[rapid merlin]

it's not that

[chilly veldt]

eJPT is shit

[rapid merlin]

they have strange subscription

[wooden totem]

https://tenor.com/view/money-jumpscare-money-jumpscare-capitalism-dollar-gif-26819694

[rapid merlin]

women you know

[glass nest]

Thats not a very nice thing to say. Right, @sick lance

[rapid merlin]

ahahah

[chilly veldt]

People with 0 knowledge or interest in cybersecurity has passed it easily

[rapid merlin]

jokes aside

[rapid merlin]

why would ejpt be shit?

[glass nest]

Yeah, and so Did I, and I have 1 knowledge and some interest 😄

[void goblet]

I'm not going to say anything it's a fact nothing to be proved and please don't make a big deal if they get to know they will prove me wrong

[glass nest]

To be fair, I just did it for fun. and you are right, although I wouldnt swear

[cedar relic]

@glass nest can i dm u if you want to help me out a bit on this?

[chilly veldt]

because it teaches you nothing, it's just "run these scripts" kind of certification, has almost zero learning value or working value

[wooden totem]

But can you beat 2 interest and 0 knowledge

[glass nest]

Ivan, Better with the community. I'm jumping between tasks at the moment

[cedar relic]

Okey sure

No problem

[rapid merlin]

yeah but i need a job, and before that i'll take pentest+

[chilly veldt]

if you have pentest+ just skip eJPT, cause you already have something more valuable

[rapid merlin]

pentest+ is useless, no?

[cedar relic]

In there a room for something like this on this server or?

[chilly veldt]

nope

[rapid merlin]

evening jabba

[mossy river]

What’s the need for a sexist comment like that?

[chilly veldt]

pentest+ is actually pretty valuable

[rapid merlin]

then which one?

another one of those HR certs?

i'll take pentest on february

[chilly veldt]

pentest+ > eJPT

[rapid merlin]

i can buy 2 certs

i need another one

[chilly veldt]

PJPT

[rapid merlin]

it's gonna be really funny if the exam becomes harder

[chilly veldt]

or OSCP

[void goblet]

Please guys just take a note of it and not make it a big all you have to do is prepare for the worst regardless

[rapid merlin]

so my CV would be sec+,pentest and another one

pjpt

[glass nest]

KBPT. Kyooty Bella Pentest Certificate

[rapid merlin]

i am too junior for that

PJPT then

[chilly veldt]

no?

it's a junior cert

[rapid merlin]

yes 0 years of work

[jolly plume]

Lmao bro goofy

[chilly veldt]

you don't need work for it

[grim sparrow]

:hammer: demgainschill#0 has been banned.

[rapid merlin]

PJPT is $150 (with student discount) and is only one course

lawl

[rapid merlin]

wasn't the OSCP the one of 24 hours of work?

[half girder]

pjpt is just a wrapper around thm content .. no thanks to tcm content

[devout palm]

What is the most affordable and best certification currently?

[rapid merlin]

yeah that was the one

[devout palm]

For general cyber security

[chilly veldt]

it's 24 hours of doing a pentest yes, cause you have 24 hours to finish the cert

[glass nest]

Cmon heap. you know better'n anyone that 'best' is extremely subjective

[rapid merlin]

yeah but i am a junior

[wild rose]

my partner ordered a coffee machine and every time a truck drives by she looks out the window hoping it arrived.

[rapid merlin]

i know you belive in me

[rapid merlin]

Probably Network+

[fair lava]

cisco cybersecurity essentials

[devout palm]

By best, i mean mostly known by HRs and cyber security professionals

[rapid merlin]

but i don't belive in me RN

Network+

[swift ice]

Security+? even then, it’s for entry-level roles, and it’s general security fundamentals, not really cybersecurity

[chilly veldt]

and?
my friend who has 0 work in pentesting just took it

[glass nest]

in india? CEH

[jolly plume]

Wide boi was talking about a volunteer firefighter udemy cert I'd go for that one

[wild rose]

I told her she bought it from a scammer, so not to expect it.

[rapid merlin]

fuck it, okay i'll take it on the end of the year

alright

you got me

first one pentest

then OSCP

[chilly veldt]

perfect strategy

[devout palm]

Then i am not going for any certification

[swift ice]

good luck having $1,649 USD for the OSCP

[swift ice]

I hope your employer expenses it for you

[rapid merlin]

[wooden totem]

[rapid merlin]

all self funded

[wild rose]

I would only take pentest+ if you're looking to renew your other Comptia certs.

[swift ice]

[chilly veldt]

CISSP is just management cert

[swift ice]

or doing some WGU cheese

[rapid merlin]

i need a job in cyber

[devout palm]

CISSP is a linkedin cert

[rapid merlin]

i don't care if i have to spend money

i want to work there

i am tired of waiting

[wooden totem]

I need my clueless emoji

[swift ice]

spamming intermediate/advanced-level certifications won’t help that much without the work experience to back it up

or just meet someone that can get you in, which is the easier path

[devout palm]

Yeah social connections

[glass nest]

What about my winning personality?

[rapid merlin]

yeah but i want to try

[swift ice]

sure

[chilly veldt]

OSCP isn't intermediate

it's a beginners cert

[wild rose]

I applied to SentinalOne just to shake things up with a new tech stack. They called me a few days later 🙂

[devout palm]

What's an advanced pentesting cert?

[chilly veldt]

OSEP

[swift ice]

“beginner” as in what’s entry-level for pentesting?

then sure, I would agree that an OSCP is beginner lol

[chilly veldt]

yup

Actually can't find the suggestions thread or whatever it was

Welcome.

[jolly plume]

Hiii

[glass nest]

Spectral - sometimes its tough, sometimes its not. Luck is merely when opportunity meets preparedness. If you go into a job search or.. pretty much any task with a doom n gloom attitude, you are destined to fail. Folk on here are optimistic, and are trying to prepare for any potential opportunities that arise or that they find. As fellow community members, it's cool to be supportive.

[swift ice]

sure, but I don’t like this idea of pushing a $1,649 USD OSCP+ just for a chance at a pentesting job

regardless, take what you can and take whatever (appropriate) opportunity is thrown your way

[eternal dragon]

feel like you should get those after you land a job, the company might support the cost

[silver sky]

You need to invest in your future. Sometimes that does involve certifying.

[swift ice]

which is what I’m saying

[glass nest]

no-one is pushing anything. If a job requires an OSCP and someone wants that job - It's a decent target to save up. $1650 is a fair chunk of change, but not impossible to save up for. and if it's an investment in your future, it's worth it

[silver sky]

If I'd never spent a couple hundred quid to get qualified for my current role, I wouldn't be where I was now

[glass nest]

True, however it was your knee-jerk response. In any other situation, I'd be asking if you were ok, y'know.

Sure, I'm not arguing against that, I also changed my subject on uni

uh, projecting? I’m absolutely fine with my position and my lineup of certs lol

[glass nest]

Good for you 🙂

And I have nothing to project 😄

Apart from supportiveness, I guess

[eternal dragon]

But he should not make the decision just for asking in a discord chat, he should get some expertise in finding a job, and trying to understand the cybersec landscape of the place he's currently in, and what he can afford

evening

do I start the PEH course now, or do I finish researching & deciding what disorders to inevitably research

[glass nest]

Multitask

[sand trench]

@loud marlin how make terminal and neovim not change theme on wallpaper change??? the pywal thingy is annoying for shadows set theme

[fair lava]

Obviously PEH because of all deadlines and credits tied to it, you can always continue research in paralell

[silver sky]

@glass nest THM Friends the video has been lost to the sands of time 😦

[glass nest]

it'll be out there somewhere. finding it's own path

[silver sky]

Turns out not a device. It was a item

[sick lance]

Ya

[silver sky]

that wasn't suspicious

Scroll up about an hour

[glass nest]

Yo Srubz, didja see my vintage tech in infosec general 😄

[sick lance]

I did, reminds me of a ship

[glass nest]

a ship?

[exotic vector]

It kinda reminds me of the panel where they switch the transponder on the rossi in The Expanse

[glass nest]

haha, may aswell be

[exotic vector]

It looks cool though

[glass nest]

It's just sitting there doing nothing. As James says, likely the only actual value in it is people wanting to use the old chips

[exotic vector]

Fair enough, how old is it?

[silver sky]

old enough to have kids

[glass nest]

Well... it used to be a Halifax bank, which I think was there when I moved to Plymouth, so maybe... 20 years at least?

We've been there about 6 years, and it's just gathering dust

I was sad when I found out there was no comically large safe vault

[exotic vector]

So at least 20 years old

[glass nest]

Hex was right too 😄

[silver sky]

Be even funnier if it was locked

[glass nest]

As James pointed out the stuff looks 80's ish, so maybe closer to 30 or 40 years

Hex - That would actually be so much fun

[silver sky]

Wonder what the legality would be about breaking into it

[glass nest]

Well, It'd be a part of the building which we straight bought

[wooden dawn]

Hello admin, the new Web Application Pentesting learning path can't be found after clicked the link.

[silver sky]

@mossy river they want you

[mossy river]

Which link?

[wooden dawn]

the one in the announcement that posted early this morning

[silver sky]

I am not sure tbf, it might be a case that the vault isn't even owned by the bank

[glass nest]

True true.

[mossy river]

It works fine for me.

Once you click the link it will take you to a blog about the path.
Then, scroll down and press the button to join the path:)

[wooden dawn]

it shows "404
Nothing to see here
This page doesn't exist...
Did it ever? It's a question of myth and mystery."

[glass nest]

working for me too, boba. Maybe clear cookies?

[silver sky]

Working for me also

[mossy river]

What browser extensions do you have?

[wooden dawn]

Brave

[shut hawk]

https://tryhackme.com/r/path/outline/webapppentesting

Does this exist?

[mossy river]

Do you have another browser at hand that you can try on?

[wooden dawn]

this one worked, Thank you @shut hawk

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @shut hawk (current: #14 - 581)

[wooden dawn]

Thank you so much!

[mossy river]

Before you disappear, can you try on a different browser?
I'm more concerned that this could be affecting other users 😅

[wooden dawn]

Sure

[exotic vector]

I have brave installed so I can try it if its the link in announcements

[wooden dawn]

@mossy river I used edge browser, it worked. I might need to clear the history of brave.

[mossy river]

Ah okay! thank you very much for testing that 😊

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @wooden dawn (current: #2366 - 1)

[exotic vector]

for me it worked in brave, mullvad and firefox

[glass nest]

how far are you through TBBT, Fae?

[rapid merlin]

Us air force website is really well done

[sand trench]

welp tireds now so time to go meep moop to the beep boop while sleep sloop

[exotic vector]

we're on season 4

[glass nest]

What're you averaging, like 3 episodes a night?

Also, what constitutes 'bingeing'?

These are the important questions 😄

[exotic vector]

....we started season 1 on Sunday....

[glass nest]

ok. Even though i don't know what bingeing is, y'all are bingeing

[silver sky]

Bingeing is over indulging

[arctic cradle]

[spark dune]

What does violate hippo mean?😭

[exotic vector]

We are lol

[exotic vector]

Hippocratic oath

[spark dune]

Ohh thanks 😭

[glass nest]

Ryan - HIPAA, yeah, what fae said

[silver sky]

Actually - Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act

[exotic vector]

[arctic cradle]

no idea haha

[silver sky]

[mossy river]

Sorry we don't help with schoolwork here #rules

[glass nest]

Check your school notes 🙂

you got this, Theo!

[tawdry pumice]

No worries

[silver sky]

YOU HAVE GOT THIS!

[loud marlin]

for nvim, iirc you need to set own theme that will stop pull colors from pywal. for terminal you use kitty or ?

[glass nest]

which arch (btw) to you use ralex?

[loud marlin]

normal one... just arch download site 🙂

[glass nest]

ok. gonna try installing it one more time. Just so I can be elite

[loud marlin]

ehehe

i just arch and archinstall to do it

with LUKS and LVM thing

[glass nest]

I totally understand all those terms, as I have 92% of an Arch ISO btw

[loud marlin]

and if you do use kitty then in dotfiles>zshrc>30-autostart disable the line

but shadow is prob meep moop sleep 🙂

[shut hawk]

How did you get a custom background on GH?

[loud marlin]

oh no. is not custo. it is hyprland transparent option for active/inactive windows and apps

[shut hawk]

oooh nice

Thought it was some sort of browser extension tweak

[loud marlin]

is global thing. this is how it looks like for terminal and discord

since im on kali laptop atm

[teal wharf]

is this kali ?

[polar tree]

how many challenges do i need to complete a day for having an streak

[loud marlin]

yes

[polar tree]

?

[mossy river]

one question per day

[teal wharf]

what kind of magic spells did u apply on this poor kali

i thought it was arch

[loud marlin]

https://github.com/JaKooLit/Debian-Hyprland not recommended due to kali be unstable at first.

[loud marlin]

arch i have on main laptop. same alike setup

[teal wharf]

"Hyprland" it surely hypers the kernel no wonder it becomes unstable

thanks , but am old school i like it standard

[shut hawk]

intriguing

[eternal dragon]

Cool, u just need to customize discord xD

[loud marlin]

not rly. is just DE alike wayland, just bit better. and most of this is just dotfile. hyprland is de and there is extra things to make it like this...

[polar tree]

like a task or a question

[eternal dragon]

one event

[loud marlin]

not rly. is just windows transparency. there is things you can do for borders. atm on kali the borders are "alive" and going in circle like rainbow color

[acoustic sand]

Pentest+?

[polar tree]

for some reason i think it is not counting it

[eternal dragon]

full rice

[polar tree]

based on this i should've a 7 day streak

but i only have 5

[silver sky]

Nvidia is crap for recording.

I HAD THE BEST CLIP.

Not recording

[eternal dragon]

To prevent your streak from resetting, here are a few tips:

Avoid answering questions no later than 11pm and no earlier than 3 am.
Ensure you are answering a minimum of three questions per day.
Questions that do not require an answer do not count towards your streak.
Your TryHackMe activity does not reflect how many questions you have answered.
Double-check that your account's country has been detected correctly.
If you are unsure, check out this article: Changing Your Country Flag.
Inserting flags on KoTH does not increase your streak.

[teal wharf]

i think u shouldnt be attached with this streak system , but u can contact support am sure they can help

[eternal dragon]

not before 14-day streak please

[mossy river]

The activities chart does not just dictate your questions answered, it shows a range of different data 🙂

[polar tree]

oh cool

so i guess it is answered today question

i want to unlock networks

lol

[eternal dragon]

one question a day should keep the streak police away, but just work as you wish, don't let that rule your learning

[shut hawk]

Are you on Linux by chance

[silver sky]

Windows

[shut hawk]

dammit i had the perfect meme

[loud marlin]

color magic...

[glass nest]

rallleeexxx... Which desktop should I use to be most 1337?

I know gnome, but wanna have a go at something new.. Never used any of these others

[loud marlin]

install gnome and kde. and if you add hyprland later will help with some app issue

[glass nest]

Too late. I just went with hyperland, as it looked cool 😄

[loud marlin]

brace you self since it will sucks. clean hyprland sucks

[glass nest]

i can't belive i got this bored tonight

[loud marlin]

go with this after install
https://github.com/mylinuxforwork/dotfiles

[granite narwhal]

How much hour I can finish juinor pentester?

[loud marlin]

don't look at time to rush up. make sure that you understand what you learn

[granite narwhal]

Yes that right

[loud marlin]

take notes

[granite narwhal]

Always

I copy paste but I understand what is happening

[loud marlin]

try make own notes. is nice to practice

[glass nest]

Hmmm... Says i need to install kitty terminal emulator...

But i really hate cats...

[loud marlin]

if you use that script i link it will install kitty

[glass nest]

I know.. but I don't want anything cat related on my machine

[granite narwhal]

I went conferences about hackthaon in kuwait

I Attend plenty of them

[glass nest]

Ooh, Was there a chap called Fawaz presenting anything?

[granite narwhal]

How u know

[glass nest]

He's a friend 🙂

[granite narwhal]

Are u arabic person,

[loud marlin]

its just name. there is no cat's ffs lol

[glass nest]

Nope. If we are talking about the same Fawaz, we were Mods together on here

[lost birch]

good evening guys

[granite narwhal]

Fawaz u mean red team

[lost birch]

Or morning.

Or whatever.

[granite narwhal]

He learn us how to do bad url

[glass nest]

I don't know what he's doing now. I think Muiri chatted to him not long ago

[rapid merlin]

Anyone in the military?

[lost birch]

can I show someone this lovely email I got today

[granite narwhal]

I liked hackthaon

[glass nest]

But I know he's Fawaz and based in Kuwait

[lost birch]

(Phishing, extortion, spyware? Lmao)

[granite narwhal]

Yeah I know him

But were not friends

[granite narwhal]

Yes he talked about the email phishing

[lost birch]

Wait what

[rapid merlin]

Is it illegal if I want to talk with a recruiter and I'm not in the us but I tell them I am otherwise they dont want to talk to me?

[lost birch]

No no likr

I got an email today

[glass nest]

Sounds like his sort of thing

[lost birch]

Can someone read through it cus - OK I'm just going to show you cus its hilarious

I laughed after reading it

[glass nest]

miguel - chances are the job will only be for US citizens

[lost birch]

this looks cool. Why can't cool stuff happen near me

[eternal dragon]

You should not lie when applying for a job, regarding its legal implications. 🙂

[granite narwhal]

If you from kuwait U can attend that

[lost birch]

nope

But that would be...cool

[granite narwhal]

I liked it so much

[granite narwhal]

Its intersting

[rapid merlin]

No like I'll be in the us shorty but they say I need to physically be in the us for them to talk to me

Like they can't talk to someone outside of the us from what I understand

I just want to ask them a question lol

[loud marlin]

just tell the truth lol

[glass nest]

Gaza - I've just asked him if it was him 😄

[rapid merlin]

And have to wait like 2 months to get one basic stupid question answered

[loud marlin]

video call ?

[rapid merlin]

No no they literally can't communicate with me unless I'm in the us

They want me to say I'm physically in the us

It's a stupid question bc their website is shit

[granite narwhal]

Do u know web pentesting is available on THM

[loud marlin]

idk how they can't via video call or so

[rapid merlin]

And its not written in understandable English

[loud marlin]

explain them and ask for options

[rapid merlin]

There can't be any communication between a recruiter and someone physically outside of the us

Like i don't it's illegal right

[loud marlin]

then idk

[rapid merlin]

If I tell them I'm in the us

I have the green card I'll be there in like 2 months

[loud marlin]

well they will found it one way or another

[lost birch]

Can I run something by you guys if that's okay

[eternal dragon]

but if the recruiter is not outside US, there won't be any "physical contact" ....

[lost birch]

Just a question

[rapid merlin]

Yes but will they care

[loud marlin]

well they do care if some lie... is not nice to go with

[rapid merlin]

They send the same message everytime I chat with them saying that they can't contact someone outside of the us

[rapid merlin]

Idk shits dumb

I feel like in a comical movie

[eternal dragon]

I guess our recommendation is for you to follow their guidelines, but you do you, maybe you are doing the right move, who knows 🤷‍♂️

[rapid merlin]

Idk I'll keep looking for someone who can tell me

But I don't think I'd get in trouble cmon

[glass nest]

@granite narwhal It was him 😄

[granite narwhal]

Who

What u meam

[glass nest]

It's a small world 😄

[granite narwhal]

Yesss

How u knoww!!!

[glass nest]

we were both moderators on here around the same time

[granite narwhal]

I dont get if

It

How do u know he was there??

Tell me please!!!

[lost birch]

What if they are one and the same 🤔😮

[glass nest]

Well.. Its a big tech thing in Kuwait, and I know that he used to do some cybersec teaching there

[granite narwhal]

I know do u have the username

[glass nest]

turns out they asked him to be the technical lead for last year and this year for the whole event

[granite narwhal]

I need to talk with him

[glass nest]

Not mine to give out, i'm afraid

[granite narwhal]

So u know by teching so much in cybersecurity righg

Righg

Right

U know dr basil othman

[glass nest]

Thats what he does/did. I know him from chatting to him on here

Name doesnt ring a bell.

[granite narwhal]

but how u know the conference

[glass nest]

because you mentioned it earlier

[granite narwhal]

I told just hacktahom

Hackthon

Nothing else

[glass nest]

in Kuwait, yeah. Is there more than one?

[granite narwhal]

Nope

[glass nest]

So, there we go 😄

[granite narwhal]

Just one

[loud marlin]

btw esqy, if you have q about hyprland and so fell free. im night shift on work. and im bored with stupid things to do =/

[granite narwhal]

[glass nest]

I'm heading to bed in a bit, I'll blue-screen it tomorrow

[granite narwhal]

But how u know Fawaz

Whatcu mean blue screen it

[loud marlin]

esqy and faw was mods here iirc

[granite narwhal]

Can u give me his discord account

[glass nest]

Gaza - A couple of years ago, Fawaz was a user on here, just like you. We got along, we helped people and we both became Moderators (like Scrubz is now) around the same time.

[granite narwhal]

Got it!

[glass nest]

And his discord info is not mine to give out, sorry bud

[granite narwhal]

🤍its okay

What u mean blue screen it

[loud marlin]

sleeping

[granite narwhal]

Mean like windows🤣

look I apply job for militray in kuwait bank abk

[granite narwhal]

To study bootcamp coding and cybersecurity I think

[glass nest]

That was a comment to ralexander. I'm trying out a new operating system using Virtual Box. ralexander uses this operating system, and kindly said I could send him questions. and I'm pretty certain I'll break it, and 'Blue Screen it' was a reference to breaking it

[granite narwhal]

I dont know anything about algothrims so I cheat in exam and js programming I search in chat gpt and solve everything but unforuntely they need gradute from university but me not gradute yet!

[loud marlin]

just like matt used sudo rm -rf ... in vm =/

hold on doesn't that brute force delete all the files 😭

[granite narwhal]

it is delete linux+

[granite narwhal]

How I can make cybersecurity like playing

Can someone help me

[upper knoll]

That's quick!

[glass nest]

Monarch, That won't last long. you'll steam through the ranks 🙂

[lost birch]

Dee did you have prior experience?

[stray perch]

I'm new here and I find tryhackme platform user friendly and the learning path is much clear and concise

time to learn

[upper knoll]

well i studied at the same uni as one of the staff

i just dropped out cause i couldnt cope with my uni falling apart

along side my health

took a break now im back to cyber sec

[lost birch]

Oh I see

[crude stump]

How did it fall apart

[lost birch]

Welcome back 😄

[upper knoll]

head of course quit year 1

then year two

[lost birch]

it really is awesome

[upper knoll]

master students teaching it

and then year 3

covid

full online

[crude stump]

Dang

[upper knoll]

with little to no support for our course

which we largely used server hosted software for

so

yer

that plus my dog health i dropped out

[lost birch]

that makes sense that can't have been an easy decision

[upper knoll]

i regret it in a lot of ways

[crude stump]

Wait but you lasted 3 years no?

[upper knoll]

yer kinda

[crude stump]

Damn I woulda just pushed through it,

[upper knoll]

so i swapped to the forensics course year 3 cause it actually had a head of course

that u know

cared

just didnt finish that

[eternal dragon]

Never to late brother, I have a Bachelor in f***** meteorology

[upper knoll]

i got basically like 2 and a bit years of qualifications

[upper knoll]

my health was bad lad

[crude stump]

Ok

[jolly plume]

That's cool as f though

Fin love weather

[glass nest]

@granite narwhal I should thank you! I'm actually catching up with Fawaz now, he's doing well 🙂

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @granite narwhal (current: #2366 - 1)

[crude stump]

Neat

[granite narwhal]

😍

I need to talk with him

[lost birch]

this rep systems neat

[crude stump]

*stupid

[upper knoll]

right chat im off for another hour of stuff yall have a nice night i gotta do more before i sleep

[jolly plume]

Is the rep system tied to the discord or our THM accounts??

[jolly plume]

Gn

[crude stump]

No that’s why it’s stupid

[lost birch]

Goodnight!

[crude stump]

It’s useless

[eternal dragon]

But meteorology institute in my country is dogshite because we have no money basically

[jolly plume]

So just no to both?

[crude stump]

Yes

It’s just there

Ig it kinda proves how helpful you are but even then most of them aren’t from helping but from like compliments and stuff

[jolly plume]

How amazing!!!!! .....👀👀

So COOL coughcough

[glass nest]

Aces - I'd say about 10% of mine were from compliments and stuff

[granite narwhal]

@glass nest look

[glass nest]

The rest was from helping

[granite narwhal]

I can learn programming in tryhackme

[crude stump]

Is your pfp a corn lmao

[crude stump]

Guess I’m wrong

[jolly plume]

Idk it's some crazy Lil guy I saw on a shitpost and thought it was goofy lookin

Battletoads or sumn

[crude stump]

It looks like a corn on a cob smiling

[jolly plume]

That's what it is now

[crude stump]

Hold on ima ask ai to make me that

[crude stump]

Pretty sure there are some python exploit rooms

[granite narwhal]

I need one day to be big pentester !

[glass nest]

Gaza - THM is not really programming focused, You can learn scripting, but there are loads of other resources online to learn to code

[granite narwhal]

Cybersecurity just need

C++
Python ruby

[silver sky]

Cyber security doesn't need them. It's helpful

[glass nest]

Sure, why not. I'd say a bit of python for scripting, then come C++ to get an idea of how an object oriented programming language works

but as hex says, not needed

[upper knoll]

unless im wrong practical experience in tools and networking is most helpful

[silver sky]

Understanding python is definitely helpful.

But if you don't know python, you'll still be okay

[granite narwhal]

But powershell cmd is important so much to exploit them

[glass nest]

Why you up so late, Hex? Working?

[granite narwhal]

Okay guys thank u

[silver sky]

Just got back from scouting an engagement

[glass nest]

Nice. get what you needed?

[lost birch]

Who told me to do XSS the other day cus like, thanks

I actually learned a lot lol

[glass nest]

you're welcome 🙂

[jolly plume]

Where the corn boss

[lost birch]

I thought it was you haha thanks @glass nest

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @glass nest (current: #18 - 454)

[crude stump]

No more free trials

[glass nest]

see, Aces :p

[jolly plume]

Rip

[lost birch]

I found a game about xss so played that for a bit

<script> is my friend

[glass nest]

I think once you learn a bit about it you're like 'aaaahh, THATS what it does'

[silver sky]

Good scout. Definitely know I'm not fucking around at night 😂

Loose roaming guard dogs. Fuck that.

[lost birch]

It was a bit of trial and error but overall it made sense, just needed to try the right payloads

Sometimes <script> didn't work so I think I remember using <a href= alert()> or something similar

[glass nest]

Yeah, to test if it's vulnerable. then the fun payload part happens 😄

[lost birch]

Its good because uni has me learning web dev at the moment as well 🙂

So I'm using the HTML I'm learning now haha

[glass nest]

Oh nice. are they covering PHP in your uni course?

[lost birch]

I saw a payload involving draggable canvases but I never cracked that one 🙂

[rapid karma]

Sorry, I know it's rude to ask, but I want to ask if I can learn something like being able to complete penetration testing independently for free.

[lost birch]

sadly not, just HTML , CSS and CGI (yet to learn that one!)

[glass nest]

Zakura - More-or-less, yes 🙂

[lost birch]

Most of THM is free, so if you're starting out you'll learn quite a bit just doing those

Can't say you'll be ready for a pentest, because I'm not at that level yet to say

[glass nest]

synapse, worth learning some PHP. It'll go hand-in-hand with what you are doing now, and that opens up a whole other section of web hacking

[lost birch]

I'll keep that in mind 🙂

I know that it was widely used back in the 2000s

Idk how much now

I heard stories of SQL injections as well, idk just tid bits here and there about it being insecure (?)

[glass nest]

Well, the big difference between PHP and, say javascript, is that PHP is server-side, and JS is client-side. So for pentesting, there are different approaches

[lost birch]

Ohhhh that makes sense

[rapid karma]

Thanks, because I have seen a lot of rooms now that require payment, usually in the middle of a course

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @lost birch (current: #2366 - 1)

[clear jackal]

If you're talking about teaching yourself, using something like THM, to get a pentesting job, with no degree or prior professional experience in the computer industry, the answer is probably not. Resources like THM are a good additive to a degree program or professional experience for self learning, but it does not replace them.

[lost birch]

So the goal with PHP hacking is to trick the server into doing something

and JavaScript is...can't think of the opposite

[glass nest]

the goal with any hacking is to trick the computer into doing something 😄

[lost birch]

Good point 😅

I understand, because I am interest-oriented and cannot study in related departments due to some factors.

[lost birch]

Even though I'm learning loads via labs

[glass nest]

Well, with JS you are manipulating the things you can see to get your result. with PHP you are sending things to the server is order for it to return things to you that you can use

I didn't explain that well :p

[lost birch]

Many practice rooms available, and challenge rooms 🙂

[rapid karma]

I know

[glass nest]

zakura - yah, this is a hobby for me too. Pure interest

[pine stratus]

isn't that done with http requests?

[lost birch]

Wait for you guys this isn't a career interest? Or am I misunderstanding

[rapid karma]

I just studied for a while because I felt troubled and uncomfortable with the payment part.

[glass nest]

for me? Nah. Maybe in the future. right now, it's just a bit of fun

zakura - about 60% of the site is free, so you can still learn loads

[rapid karma]

In fact, I hope to treat this interest as a future career. I am still a college student in high school.

[lost birch]

right I see 🙂

[glass nest]

lost bit - I know what i meant in my head, but it came out wrong 😄

[lost birch]

I know that feeling too well lol

[glass nest]

but I stand by my mistakes

[jolly plume]

Oh yeah bishop is a 0x2 now

[rapid karma]

You are right, let me study the web application pentesting I just saw

[glass nest]

Good work bishop!

[pine stratus]

im struggling with understanding how webapp work

[glass nest]

Did you lose a bit?

[lost birch]

What in particular?

[pine stratus]

im losing bytes

[glass nest]

Oh yeah, synapse is all over the web stuff at the moment

[lost birch]

I like learning it 🙂

I'm not that good yet though 😅

yet

[pine stratus]

from the moment where a http request reach the webserver

[glass nest]

And the best way to know if you REALLY understand it, is to teach it to someone else

Ahh. so, you have Burpsuite, yah?

[pine stratus]

ofc

[lost birch]

ahh I think ik where you're going with this

I think?

[glass nest]

If you turn it on and visit a website, and just advance it through one step at a time, you can see what you and the web app are saying to each other.

[fossil merlin]

Hey in y'all's opinion, is framework worth the cost?

Quality wise.

I know that it depends on how/what you use it, etc

[lost birch]

what framework? 🙂

[lost birch]

yeah good idea

[glass nest]

then you have a focal point - Looking up what POST and GET are and stuff

[lost birch]

Don't those requests, map to SQL commands

Like how they do similar things

[pine stratus]

the thing is , i wanna understand happens internally but not just w me and webserver

[lost birch]

POST = CREATE
GET = SELECT
PUT = UPDATE
Delete = delete

I think

[fossil merlin]

The laptops

[glass nest]

so.. you want to know how it works inside the webserver?

[fossil merlin]

Was looking at getting a new work laptop and I've heard a lot about framework in terms of repairability and mudlarity

They are pricey tho

[lost birch]

I've not heard of framework, so can't really speak on it.

Sorry

[pine stratus]

yes , im more into infrastructure , and how internal component communicate

:)

[fossil merlin]

No worries, nothing to apologize for.
I only recently became familiar with them myself.

[glass nest]

Thats cool. I mean.. You COULD set up a webserver

[lost birch]

hmm to be honest I don't know that yet either

Obviously there will be underlying protocols surely that the web server uses

[glass nest]

Host a basic website, then you can see it from both sides of the fence

[fossil merlin]

I'm getting familiar with hardware stuff and electronics, soldering, repairing, etc.

So something that's not anti consumer in terms of self repair is really attractive to me.

Too many laptops in landfills that could have been fixed with a 45 minute repair job

[glass nest]

Mullen - that is so weird. I literally JUST watched a netflix docu on just that subject 😄

[pine stratus]

just to clarify things if u want , webserver is to process http request and then sends them to app logic server etc ..?

🥺

[lost birch]

Locates the requested resource , might query a database, find resources in storage and translate domain to IP, and sends the content back to the client

I think.

[glass nest]

Look up apache webserver. Lots of documentation on it there. basically a webserver is a internet facing computer. You put a website on there, and it can be interacted with. Further back from that is more in the realms of web development

[lost birch]

Well thats for GET I think

[glass nest]

and it's been like 10 years since I've look at anything web-dev related

[lost birch]

I don't know if I'm 100% right there but that's what I remember from my old classes

[serene flax]

Hello, everyone!

[lost birch]

Hello 🙂

[jolly plume]

Hello!

[forest fractal]

can you still take the advent of 2023 now? I kinda want to practice before taking the 2024 one

and also can you still get the cert for that? hehe

[glass nest]

synapse, those commands are how your browser/computer interacts with the server, so yeah

[pine stratus]

yup thats the thing , i m studying sql injection i just wanna know how the payload reach the data base , idk if that makes sense to u . maybe I can't explain what i want bc my english is too basic

[glass nest]

MBAEX - Yup!

[lost birch]

I also know HTTP requests have a header and, sometimes a body

But that's about it

[glass nest]

@forest fractal --> https://tryhackme.com/r/room/adventofcyber2023

[rapid merlin]

Is someone from the us here?

[fossil merlin]

It's a big problem dude.

But yeah framework is very consumer/mod friendly

But they're like 1200

[forest fractal]

noice

[lost birch]

OK I just read up

The web server will construct the SQL query completely and sends it to the database

[glass nest]

I know man. Personally, I use stuff until i can't fix it anymore

[fossil merlin]

Which to you BIG BOY JOB HAVIN super hackers may not be a lot. But to a new scrub like me 1.2k is a lot

[glass nest]

Nah, 1200 is a lot

If its dollars or pounds, I mean

[lost birch]

It then processes the request and sends the info back through the HTTP responses after being formatted

[fossil merlin]

USD in my case

[forest fractal]

and gives changes to some things depend on what was sent right?

[glass nest]

If its rupees, it's only £11

[pine stratus]

chatgpt?

[fossil merlin]

Back to studying now.

I got an interview for a job I'm not qualified for on Friday, so wish me luck

[lost birch]

If you mean like Update, then that happens when it is processed

[glass nest]

haha, You'll smash it, Mullen!

[lost birch]

By the database

[lost birch]

no 😅

Not this time

[fossil merlin]

Thank you my new friends, you all are very friendly.

[pine stratus]

haha, thank you mate

[forest fractal]

yeah I think I encountered one like that, recently I found a GENSHIN IMPACT cheat that uses SQL injection

[jolly plume]

Thank you @jolly plume

.....no rep? Booboo

[forest fractal]

I dont know though if theyre using SQL injection I just saw some file and CMD lines where it say injection HAHAHAHA

[elder spire]

Hi im new

[glass nest]

on that note, it's 1am, so Imma go hit the dusty trail. peace out!

goodnight , thank you

[lost birch]

Wait I'm not sure if I'm reading this right

[lost birch]

Oh wow fair playyyy

Well its time for me to go too, night guys 🙂
