[crude stump]

Because ids probably not a given machine room

It’s

What room is it

[rapid karma]

Enumeration & Brute Force - Introduction

[crude stump]

I’ll take a look

[rapid karma]

thank you!

[crude stump]

So yes

This isn’t a given machine

You can use the attackbox or your own vm via openvpn

[rapid karma]

Oh well, I'm sorry because the screen keeps going white and I'm not very good at using it.

But I don’t know how to connect to THM’s VPN, and it shows that Attackbox is unavailable because it has timed out today, although I haven’t opened it for more than 10 minutes.

[vestal patrol]

Definitely on it and brushing up some skills - though I feel a bit apprehensive about it. Its a bit of imposter syndrome however I'll get over it

[wild rose]

If you open it and then close it, it counts as hour.

[chilly stratus]

Is anyone still studying for security+?

[clear jackal]

Probably. If you have a question, just ask.

[chilly stratus]

I only got a score or 684 and I just don’t know how to improve

[swift ice]

look at your score report and review the exam objectives that you missed questions in

and if you think you bombed on the PBQs, revise on the topics covered as well

[chilly stratus]

PBQs?

[swift ice]

performance-based questions

those were the 2-5 “simulation” questions you were given at the start of the exam

that’s what they’re officially called

[wraith fjord]

hello

humans

[jolly ermine]

hello guys

im facing a problem in thm machines when i connect to the openvpn its loads normally but the machine does not load

[gentle igloo]

[dark frost]

[spring temple]

got my account hacked like a dummy, i hope i didnt spam anyone for the 2-3hours i was not in control

[dark frost]

I did not reveice any spam 👀

[dark frost]

How did it happend ?

[spring temple]

received a game .rar from a fellow mate of mine

(which her account was compromised)

Foxypunk.rar

checked in virustotal and it gave me no warnings so i launched it, it stole my Discord Token and all my Edge saved pwds

biig oof on this one

2FA on my main hotmail account is basically the only thing that saved me

[dark frost]

That would be very interesting to investigate this malware with a reverse engineer fellow

[spring temple]

(i am ashamed of myself)

i could give you the website but i dont think its a good idea, more risk of spreading it

[dark frost]

True, how is it called the virus that spread that way?
Worms?

[spring temple]

i would be very interested in studying the malware

i dont know what was the exact malware

ill keep a copy of my hard drive and check it on a isolated linux later

[dark frost]

Yeah i wonder too, it maybe use some kind of buffer overflow , privilage escalation , diseable every windows defenders security and monitoring 👀

[spring temple]

yeah

[dark frost]

Did you clean it right? You had a none infected backup?

[rapid merlin]

Morning

[dark frost]

morning

i have my bachelor ceremony tonigh , don't know what to wear... i am a nerd

[rapid merlin]

Whatever’s comfortable

[dark frost]

i will go in Adidas jogging suite then

[devout palm]

Lol

[chrome gulch]

hey

[dark frost]

hi

[devout palm]

Hello

[dark frost]

my sister had here ceremony yesterday , everyone had Nice Costums , the girls pretty dresses .

but she is in medicals school,

[errant fossil]

PJ's are the way

[spring temple]

i literrally closed the PC and formated it rght away

[dark frost]

you reminded me to backup

[spring temple]

my restore point was corrupted, RIP

still changing passwords 💤

everything will now be in pwd manager

on my very person

[dark frost]

what pwd manager do you suggest ?

i been thinking on getting the yubikey

[spring temple]

im going for keepass for the moment

ill have my database on a usb on me

working in 4 hours

[sick lance]

Encrypted right.

...Right?

[spring temple]

yes

[devout palm]

Plain Text

in a passwords.txt

[spring temple]

im not doing this a 2nd time

too old to do a all nighter

[devout palm]

I was making my own password manager, and i quit somehow

[sick lance]

I guess now you've learned the importance of of the 3 2 1 rule for back ups?

[devout palm]

Too much things to do

[spring temple]

ive also learned to trust my guts in the future

[chilly veldt]

Morning

[spring temple]

was sus, i could have called my friend and asked her personnally

i just blindly trusted

and yeah, ill def make sure the backups are working now

[devout palm]

I don't have a backup currently

If lost i am done

[sick lance]

All of my important files are 3 2 1 .

[devout palm]

One of my friends transfered private keys from phone to PC to flash his phone, then couldn't boot the PC without private keys

[dark frost]

what is the 3 2 1 rule ?

[sick lance]

3 different copies
2 different devices.
1 off site location.

[devout palm]

Off site location is cloud?

[sick lance]

It can be.

But then you're relying on the cloud and a connection.

[devout palm]

Hm

I'd rather keep it local

[dark frost]

3 different copies in 3 differents usb , mass storages ,

[muted nebula]

can you turn any usb into a rubber ducky?

[dark frost]

no

[muted nebula]

thx

[dark frost]

there was a file named autorun . back then that got removed and ban

the rubber ducky is a microcontroler with a flashed software to read a payload in a sd card you put in

but you could turn any micro controler into a rubber ducky , as long it has a USB serial port

[dark frost]

on wireshark you have a plugin for USB port scanning , you can check it out 🙂
When you plug a normal USB mass storage key , it speak with the driver of the computer
"hello i am a mass storage device " my usb device code is 1 . ect...
or a keyboard "hello i am an HID device " HID ( Human interface device ) . code 1 , for keyboard , 2 for a mouse .

What the Rubber ducky can do is control that Hello/description message . and be a mass storage and HID device at same time .
And can do eather Keystroke injections , or steal files

[torpid vessel]

Hey everyone!
Does anyone know the tool GoIssue, some sites are claiming it as a phishing tool for github devs etc, but goissue.go is a public repo on github which used to find go code's issue. Anyone knows the reality ? Thanks!

[dark frost]

google tell me this

[spring temple]

after scannin whats in my Windows.old

i got hit by a Malicord

A developer has released Malicord malware. Malicord features include; capturing completely undetected tokens, discord, stealing browser passwords and cookies, discord injection JS, chrome injection JS, roblox session stealer, windows information stealer, data files sniper, wallet stealer, Minecraft account stealer, firewall and antivirus bypass.

[torpid vessel]

These all are copied through the blog of Slashnext , but after research i didn't find anything

[sick lance]

Windows.old is then folder left behind when you updated to the latest os

W10 -> W11

[finite basalt]

If you want a really fun one, earlier this year someone sent malware in here and myself, bella and jay sat there reversing it haha

[spring temple]

no i just reinstalled W10 on W10

[muted nebula]

hmm very informative thank you

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @dark frost (current: #955 - 4)

[finite basalt]

I do still have a copy of it somewhere for safe keeping

webhook was destroyed though so it's not the end of the world if I ever opened it haha

[sick lance]

Then there to go.

[spring temple]

i can send the website they sent me if you want a challenge

[sick lance]

What is the challenge?

[spring temple]

but its better to be ran in a sandbox

[sick lance]

Then don't send in here.

[finite basalt]

morning

[spring temple]

good morning

its just 3 AM for me

[exotic vector]

its 8:16 here and its freezing xD

[spring temple]

freezing how ?

like -20C ?

[finite basalt]

it's nice and warm-ish in my home

fuckin snowed the other day

[exotic vector]

I just turned the heating on but the main room is really really cold

[finite basalt]

The actual house is warm but my body temp is off

because my hands are cold

[spring temple]

cant wait for snow

[finite basalt]

snow is nice to see

it is not nice to be in

[spring temple]

and for my firstborn

[finite basalt]

it's just cold sand

congratulations 😄

[spring temple]

kid is gonna develop cold resistance from the start

[finite basalt]

it's well worth it

[spring temple]

thank you

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @finite basalt (current: #105 - 70)

[finite basalt]

I only get cold when I'm ill, hungover or sobering up

My hands and nose will get cold but other than that I don't get cold because I just heat up to accomodate, am like a radiator
Summer's fine as well cause I don't sweat much

[lone thistle]

-4 here. Woke up like an ice cube because I still haven't yet figured out how to set the heating on a schedule in my new place

[finite basalt]

bless, I just leave it on manual most of the time and have it at 19c and boost it when I'm feeling cool

[lone thistle]

not a bad shout tbf

[finite basalt]

I mean I'm not one to have kids but I ever do i can see myself being very particular about the thermostat haha

I walked into my house last year and the skylight in the bathroom was wide open and the house was 27 degrees, it was february... I had a conniption 🤣

[lone thistle]

yes. Now I see why my dad was so fussy about leaving a light on or the thermostat 😄

[finite basalt]

the heating was also still on at that point I might add so we were literally pissing away gas as I worded it to the rest of the house

[finite basalt]

yeah I don't mind lights too much but sometimes it does piss me off

[lone thistle]

a very apt description

[finite basalt]

Like if you're regularly in and out, fair enough, leave the hall light on or whatever but I keep coming downstairs every so often and the spare room light is just on and the door closed..

Like who're we lighting this room up for, ghosts? 😭

[lone thistle]

haha

[exotic vector]

my flat is small so you can just turn 1 light on and open a door and it'll light up everything else

[finite basalt]

The electric usage will already be higher this year as I'm now running a home server and the entire house play games. We pay a flat rate with unihomes so it's not too bad but I'm not trying to take the mick with them

[lone thistle]

pog nice. is that the proxmox work you were doing?

[finite basalt]

I nearly moved into my own flat this year, was 50/50 because one of the housemates isn't staying at the end of the year and I couldn't be bothered messing around

[finite basalt]

yep 😄

[lone thistle]

sweeeet

[finite basalt]

LXC containers and networking have not and still aren't fully playing ball

[lone thistle]

I finally have space for a homelab now. But first order of business is more furniture

[finite basalt]

I'll boot them up and the interfaces are down, I bring them up and they don't get an IP even though it's set statically, I change it in proxmox and it refreshes and loads with an IP

[stoic quarry]

Wym my old laptop shoved into a closet isn't a homelab?!

[lone thistle]

basically 😄

[stoic quarry]

Sick crib

[finite basalt]

tell you what though, the landlords are lovely in my current house, they found out we were debating moving due to us struggling to find a 3rd person and guess what they said to us?

[lone thistle]

the best kind of homelabs

[rapid merlin]

ayyo my attackbox is not working any solution for that

[lone thistle]

not working, how so?

[finite basalt]

They turned round and said we could stay as a 3 person group for an extra 17 quid a week per person instead of splitting the entire cost of the 4th person, we're also paying rent prices from 3 years ago so we'd be paying 115 a week for the house obviously per person but regardless

[finite basalt]

what's it doing?

[lone thistle]

pog that's a really good deal

[rapid merlin]

now its working

but previous two launches it shows a terminal

of ubuntu

[finite basalt]

yeah I know, it was also a 6 bedroom house converted to a four bedroom house in the first place hence why we have spare rooms for thiungs

[finite basalt]

were they the lab machines potentially?

[rapid merlin]

yup

[stoic quarry]

Might be the lab then lol

[finite basalt]

we have managed to find a 4th person now though which is nice as come july, I'll have been in the house for 3 years

[stoic quarry]

As someone who's about to move to the UK that sounds like the ideal landlord

[rapid merlin]

and you know it is off topic but they him who them people are gonna be f##kd up As trump is coming

[finite basalt]

they are absolutely lovely the pair of them 😄

[stoic quarry]

Fingers crossed I get as lucky

[arctic cradle]

upvoted, in fact I will change my upvote to a super upvote

[finite basalt]

still the main version on computers yeah

I didn't sleep till 6pm and then slept till about half 1 and got up at 3

[stoic quarry]

Yikes

Maybe sleep, it's a pretty fun game

[wooden totem]

This will dramatically improve quality of life

[finite basalt]

like I stayed up all night, did some work at 4am, did uni work from 7am till lunchtime, rang my bank to ask a question, researched HiFi hardware and then went into uni to do some more work and then went home

[finite basalt]

I was resetting the sleep pattern

I've been going to bed at 9am recently so it was due a fix and I tried on monday and failed when I went for what ended up being a 6 hour nap

[stoic quarry]

Sounds like an eventful 24 hours

[sick lance]

No politics please.

[stoic quarry]

I couldn't keep up with it

[finite basalt]

very productive, my housemate checked on me at one point because he heard my music from my room and I was playing my productivity playlist

some of the songs from said playlist

He heard kingdom dance and was concerned and intrigued

[exotic vector]

ooooo Espirit D'Air

[finite basalt]

yep

but you now what slaps even more for productivity?

fuckin bad piggies theme, listened to it 90 times in a row while I was doing uni work

[wooden totem]

Can't beat late night work vc

with lofi live playing on 20%

[finite basalt]

that's good but it can be distracting as fuck sometimes

I need high pace music for working haha

it helps me focus when I'm angry or trying to work

[finite basalt]

I predominantly do software dev and idk it just helps

my current work I do a bit of everything, like my technical role is to support and develop research, develop software and projects around all sorts of things

[wooden totem]

Vocal songs are imo very distracting

[finite basalt]

I mean idk, they can be but it depends

I focus on the beats and tones anyway a lot of the time

when I'm on trains I must look insane because I'll be tapping my feet and hands to whatever song I'm listening to. When I go into the office I'll often get an espresso at the train station and I'll stand there on the platform tapping the empty cup to the beat haha

[muted nebula]

imagine them naked

[rapid merlin]

it is not possible

[wooden totem]

very distracting

[muted nebula]

it is. you just have to have an open mind and a strong imagination

[dark frost]

[muted nebula]

that is a disadvantage yes

[rapid merlin]

he will be more focused on picturing them naked than on the actual speech

and when I say it is not possible I mean it

like you all try it and come back let me know if it works

[stoic quarry]

Okay

It does ease nerves

[rapid merlin]

look as someone who has spoken on stage

[exotic vector]

do what I do, be energetic at the start of the speech and get more technical as you speak so by the end you've ran over by an hour and everyone has fallen asleep

[dark frost]

that remind me of the special glasses or App to undress people XD

[rapid merlin]

just write your speech down

[stoic quarry]

It's general advice but just do what makes you the most comfortable lmao

[rapid merlin]

practice it

multiple times

and have it on paper with you in case you forget something

and one thing

is

[wooden totem]

When I had to present something I could never look at the crowd, I just focused my eyes on the back of the room or at the floor

[rapid merlin]

pick 3 people from the crowd

[muted nebula]

naughty naughty

[rapid merlin]

one from the left side, one from the center, and one from the right side

[stoic quarry]

If you write your whole speech down you'll focus on it, so don't write it down fully lol

[rapid merlin]

and when you shift you eyesight focus on those 3 people

[exotic vector]

ive done a lecture before, time goes really quickly.

[dark frost]

those were Televisions ads

[stoic quarry]

100%

[wooden totem]

quite the opposite for people stuck listening

[exotic vector]

yep

[muted nebula]

+1. Memorize half of your presentation and the other half make little cards to read off of.

[stoic quarry]

Yeah

Ez pz

[wooden totem]

is it really

[exotic vector]

when I had to do presentations etc, I always had cards 1 card for each slide and it was mostly just vague bullet points to keep me on topic

[dark frost]

thanks for the precious advices ❤️

[stoic quarry]

Yeah, I was shit scared the first presentation I did.
Now I do them pretty often and it's chill

[wooden totem]

I like presentations where you don't have to remember anything and just read your paper with your own words

[muted nebula]

if you're nervous just think about what's the worst thing that could happen?

You will probaby chock and everyone will laugh at you and for years just about going to sleep, it will haunt you. but you'd still be alive XD

[stoic quarry]

Yeah you won't get shot

I hope

[exotic vector]

I even won a presentation before because I gave information the lecturer didnt know about, so at the end of the class we were talking and I gave them all my sources so they can go be a nerd lol

[stoic quarry]

Depends where you are

[wooden totem]

worst advice in history of presentations

[dark frost]

at my bachelor project presentation , i had to answer questions for 30 minutes , with over 20 expert in the room

[storm steeple]

Encouraging, lmao

[muted nebula]

that's too much pressure.

[wooden totem]

were you allowed to answer with a question

[dark frost]

i did answers every questions 🙂

and teached them a lessons

[stoic quarry]

Nice!

[exotic vector]

I had to do something like that before as well it is stressful.

[muted nebula]

If you're old enough 3-4 shots of whiskey can take the edge off. That's what I do.

[dark frost]

but the school fcked up the expert choosing ... i did an Emddeded systeme degree, but my project was about Cybersecurity .
And the expert were lost ... why the many questions

[stoic quarry]

Takes the edge off waking up, takes the edge off work, takes the edge off dinner at home, takes the edge off going to bed

[muted nebula]

fr.

[dark frost]

only 1 expert that do ctf for fun understood me . a Nice guy working for CERN in Geneva

[muted nebula]

u know his name?

[dark frost]

i can look for it if you want

[muted nebula]

[dark frost]

[dark frost]

can i add you to linkedin ?

[sick lance]

We are not helping you with an external competition.

Any further questions will result on losing the ability to speak

[muted nebula]

I don't have one

[stoic quarry]

Gottem

[exotic vector]

I cry for people daily driving Kali on bare metal

[muted nebula]

too much personal information gets put on there. I mean I use linkedin to gather information about people for phishing attacks

[stoic quarry]

Same

Not meant for it lmao

[jagged solstice]

.....

[sick lance]

I'm serious.

[muted nebula]

Scrubz is always extra for no reason

like chill out

[dark frost]

it's true linkedin is great way to obtain email/personnal info from many employes

[exotic vector]

Scrubz is fine

[muted nebula]

i don't think he is

[fair trail]

Hey guys i cant access a server through the attackbox any ideas what could be the reason?

[exotic vector]

Why don't you think he is?

[muted nebula]

I feel like he's on a power trip. He's always replying to simple mistakes with threats

[exotic vector]

Sometimes it can take a few minutes for everything to spool up

[fair trail]

i waited twice over 17mins

very unusual

[rapid merlin]

Why does the simplest things always take so long to do

[stoic quarry]

Can you ping it

[fair trail]

i cant

[sick lance]

Is there an issue with moderation?

[sick lance]

#site-support

[muted nebula]

are you Scrubz?

[sick lance]

Obviously.

[muted nebula]

then why does your name say "NOT" Scrubz

hahahaha

[sick lance]

This is awkward.

[muted nebula]

how's that awkward? you got mad?

[elder peak]

https://tenor.com/view/entertainment-michael-jackson-wow-amazing-interesting-gif-14302319

[sick lance]

I'm not mad, just pointed out you didn't use "Not Scrubz" a minute ago. 🙂

[dark frost]

i keep seeing Scrubz with screenshot with my name on it , the mods have eyes on me

[muted nebula]

I was talking about Scrubz. You're clearly Not Scrubz

[dark frost]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/535901899652595712/1055002777912365056/SPOILER_ezgif-3-b9c48cdd1e.gif

[sick lance]

If that's the case, Scrubz is irrelevant as he hasn't spoken for a few days.

[wooden totem]

I read scrubz too many times, the name sounds so weird now.. scrubby scrubs

[chilly veldt]

I hate when people spam email, like dude take a breather, I don't want your "pentest" I know it's just tenable go brrrrr

[muted nebula]

yeah i guess he is

[stoic quarry]

Bro thinks Tenable = l33t pentest tool

[sick lance]

However now that I'm here, and you have an issue with how I just recently moderated.

The user in question has asked on 3 separate occasions about an external competition, now it would be unfair if they won, because they had help from a discord server. That's why there is a blanket ban on helping with external competitions.

[muted nebula]

who?

[sick lance]

If you don't agree with this, please reach out to our admin team and state your concerns and queries.

[chilly veldt]

technically I could send them a strongly worded email back saying that what they have done is illegal

[muted nebula]

who?

[sick lance]

The user I literally replied to 2 messages up from the one where you stated I'm "extra".

[muted nebula]

ASKED?

[wooden totem]

dude on the other side be like "I hate when people don't accept the tenables, like dude just reply so I can do my job, I don't wanna be doing this either"

[mossy river]

Never heard of it

[sick lance]

A few spoke about it in the Uni, free year trial, what could go wrong?

[sick lance]

I didn't ask anything.

[muted nebula]

it went right over your head. nvm

[sick lance]

Great, now this conversation is no longer needed, thank you for your concern. 🙂

I NEED HELP

ERROR 2026 (HY000): TLS/SSL error: self-signed certificate in certificate chain```

someone tell me how to solve this plz i can t seem to find anything useful online

[devout palm]

Try adding the flag --ssl-verify-server-cert=false

[brisk hollow]

worked like magic thank you

i wanna know why tho

some people don t encounter this issue

is it missconfiguration from my machine ?

[muted nebula]

it says that there's a self-signed certificate. It's usually insecure and not accepted

[mossy river]

I’ll try it out

[devout palm]

Oh no, the server is using SSL encryption while communicating but not a publicly signed one. But instead, it is using self signed certificate which means it is generated locally.

For security reasons, mysql client doesn't allow us to connect a self signed host. We just skip that as the communication doesn't have to be very secure in this case.

[sick lance]

Hopefully not just a GPT wrapper.

[devout palm]

They are

[sick lance]

Have you used Perplexity Pro?

[devout palm]

Nope

Just an assumption

[mossy river]

I have GPT plus so if it is I can just cancel 😂

[kind narwhal]

Isn't it enough to open one machine? Do I need a new machine for each room?

[devout palm]

You need to terminate the previous one and deploy the other, yes

[hollow ledge]

[sick lance]

Ya

If you have more than one target machine deployed, you could mix up IP's.

It's understandable it's done this way.

[rapid merlin]

If you have a complaint, please send it to my DMs so I can leave you on read

[sick lance]

True.

[devout palm]

I don't think Scrubz's moderation is extra. It is what it should be. Can we also give a feedback?

[pine stratus]

guys what's mean extra?

[sick lance]

Feedback both positive and negative is welcome.

[tepid furnace]

exotic extragavnt not needed

oops butchered the spelling

[sick lance]

Personal growth can come from both.

[tepid furnace]

basically saying he's over the top

but if that's true or not is subjective

as different people are used to different things

[mossy river]

Of course, or if you are happy to, you can use our feedback thread https://discord.com/channels/521382216299839518/1306706253636173884

[tepid furnace]

it is important to remeber that moderators are not our friends exactly though

they serve a job and a purpose

[devout palm]

It's a volunteer work.

[exotic vector]

To me the mods are doing great

[tepid furnace]

yes they voluntarily give up their time

[rapid merlin]

I love the mods, except Scrubz when he's being sarcastic

[tepid furnace]

this is true

[rapid merlin]

jabba is my favourite

[mossy river]

I'm not your friend? 🥺

[tepid furnace]

you arent exactly a moderator

you're one step above

[rapid merlin]

jabba is everyones friend

[tepid furnace]

while it's important to be nice to each other since being mean is uncalled for it is important to remember that you are different then me

[rapid merlin]

scrubz is the quiet kid who's done with everyones shit

[pine stratus]

strategic resign

[tepid furnace]

if I say or do anything that upsets you, you could ban me

[rapid merlin]

jabba doesn't randomly ban people

usually

[twilit jewel]

do you know anything about subscription blackfriday code , will be or not?

[tepid furnace]

no but other members of staff could

which would be bad

[rapid merlin]

jabba is the only admin whos active in chat

[tepid furnace]

jabba is the best

[rapid merlin]

^

[sick lance]

Nothing yet

[tepid furnace]

most consistant and friendly

[rapid merlin]

tim occasionally pops in I think

[mossy river]

Moderators should not be banning anyone that is not violating our community rules.
If you say something that upsets me, the likelihood of it not being against the rules is low 😂

[tepid furnace]

the issue most people have with scrubz is that at times they can seem condscending

[devout palm]

I say they wouldn't. If i know Scrubz and any other moderator, they would use the block button if it is too personal.

[sick lance]

Tim and Fontaene are QA staff, (Tim is the manager)

[rapid merlin]

QA?

[tepid furnace]

exactly shouldn't be

[rapid merlin]

wym

[trim vault]

Guys i got a question

[sick lance]

What's up?

[trim vault]

Sup

[rapid merlin]

Top tier question

[tepid furnace]

but I'm mainly in the sever for updates to the website and the occasional pointer :)

[sick lance]

Qualify Assurance(?)

[tepid furnace]

so I would rather not risk anything

[rapid merlin]

ah

[mossy river]

Only people who can ban are administrators or moderators. TryHackMe employees do not have permissions to ban:)

[tepid furnace]

yes staff in this case being moderators and admins

staff to the discord

[mossy river]

This is quite concerning! There shouldn't be any fear in using our community 😓

[marble ermine]

can you guys hack an ig account

[rapid merlin]

1st one of the day

[tepid furnace]

I should have clarified I see as it is ambiguious in the conversation

[mossy river]

This is illegal and against our community rules.

[trim vault]

Can an ethical hacker install in a phising mail a malware and then does a test is it legal

[sick lance]

You'd have to something extreme to be removed immediately, we'd look to remedial steps first.

[marble ermine]

i lost mine

[marble ermine]

i want it back

[sick lance]

With a contract yes.

[mossy river]

Contact instagram support:)

[tepid furnace]

I understand that I've read the rules

[devout palm]

Right over the convo

Lmao

[marble ermine]

i did everything that’s why i joined this server😭😭

[rapid merlin]

let's guess the ig account is gonna be a cute girl.

any takers

[sick lance]

However Malware isn't really used as much, and phishing is illegal without a contract, but it is trashy behaviour.

[tepid furnace]

nah it's a MAN

[marble ermine]

hahaa it’s me

[rapid merlin]

if you like sm1, tell em

[sick lance]

Then there should be no worries 😄

[marble ermine]

bro i ain’t like that😭😭😭

[mossy river]

We usually refer to "Staff" as employees of TryHackMe, which is where the confusion is from. Moderators are just normal people with a little extra permission (they're just volunteers) 😊

[tepid furnace]

and judging from the name they're most likely under 18 and have no idea what the server is about

[rapid merlin]

probably.

[tepid furnace]

I see, I still should have clarified better no worries

the username

[mossy river]

If they can't help you recover your account then neither can we.
I would suggest in future to enable 2FA, change your passwords regularly, use a password manager and don't click on links.

[tepid furnace]

A very fresh account

[sick lance]

Bearing in mind.

Somebody telling you it's ok, is not a legal binding contract.

[marble ermine]

yup it ain’t my main, i agree

[rapid merlin]

jabba I don't wanna meet my parents it's so cold outside 😭

[mossy river]

Pfft

Go meet your parents smh

[rapid merlin]

im wrapped up in 2 blankets and am still freezing 😭

be back in a hr or so 😭

[pine stratus]

what is the temperature there?

[mossy river]

Get a hot drink

[marble ermine]

ehhh alright, is there anyway i can upload my own official govt ID on isnta so they know it’s me and let me in

[tepid furnace]

Man just contact their support

[mossy river]

If I had to drag myself to uni, you can go meet your parents for an hour 😂

[marble ermine]

i did everythibg

[tepid furnace]

doubtful

[chilly veldt]

I'm right here 😎

[tepid furnace]

if you cant provide proof you owned the account

actually

how did you even lose your account

[mossy river]

We're not Instagram 🤷‍♂️ nothing we can do. We are not equipped to advise you here

[tepid furnace]

just login to your email that you used to make the account

[marble ermine]

grand reveal….. it got hacked

[marble ermine]

everythibg is hacked even my discord account that’s why i made this

[tepid furnace]

did you install a token logger?

[marble ermine]

i guess you’re right

[marble ermine]

idek bro😭😭😭

[mossy river]

I would suggest you change the password to your email address and use different passwords.

[marble ermine]

i don’t have access to anything

[tepid furnace]

maybe you should read some of the things here and on thm to get a better understanding of security processes :)

[mossy river]

If you have installed any game hacks recently, that might be the cause.

[marble ermine]

i don’t play games

[pine stratus]

i have a question after changing the password of ur discord , the token will also change?

[mossy river]

Correct

[marble ermine]

yes

[mossy river]

Your Discord token is created from your email and password

[pine stratus]

session and token are both different things and both can be stolen right?

[mossy river]

AFAIK, they're the same thing on Discord

[pine stratus]

oh i just know , i tho they are different

[mossy river]

I can go in my client and check but I don't recall there ever being a session token

[pine stratus]

u re talking just about discord right?

[mossy river]

oh, yes 😆

[topaz pivot]

Anyone can tell me that is thm fundamental or jr penetration tester career path content is enough for getting the entry level jr penetration tester job

[mossy river]

Sorry I got tunnel visioned for a second

[exotic vector]

hi Scrubz

[pine stratus]

[sick lance]

👋

[mossy river]

In general, there usually only exists a session token

After you have passed authentication, they give you a session token that exists for x amount of time which is used for authentication

[sick lance]

Yes and no.

No - THM may not be enough.

Yes - it may be enough if you have really good network connections.

[topaz pivot]

🙁

[somber musk]

networking :(

[pine stratus]

build a good network

[exotic vector]

That is surprisingly hopeful

[sick lance]

Where as THM teaches you alot, it essentially can't be prove you've done the work.

[topaz pivot]

Okay 👍🏻

[sick lance]

Except by you know, demonstrate your skills and knowledge.

[exotic vector]

That's probably where taking notes and doing your own projects will come in handy

[sick lance]

[pine stratus]

what projects you create that are related with cybersec

Okay I have one another question guys, Is a project necessary to enter the penetration tester field as it is for a programmer

For example, building a vulnerable web server and exploiting it afterwards. Or an active directory lab with multiple devices / VMs

You can also publish write-ups and blogs about cyber security. Or make example pentest reports with the lab you have built.

[exotic vector]

Basically what flow said, that's what I'm slowly working on myself

[devout palm]

Prior experience is essential unfortunately, if you are studying in college/uni you can go for internships.

[pine stratus]

if u are not in college or uni?

x)

[devout palm]

Then you need to build connections

[topaz pivot]

@devout palm ohh okay and how can I do this

[devout palm]

Participate in cyber security events, meet new people who are working in the field

Talk about the cool stuff you are trying to do, and maybe get help from them 🙂

[exotic vector]

That's the part I haven't started doing besides talking to people here

[devout palm]

Well, here is anonymous. Linkedin is good for that, although i despise using it.

[pine stratus]

same here , especially when i live in other country , im still learning the language xD

[exotic vector]

I don't like LinkedIn lol

[mossy river]

Nobody does, everyone is pretending they like it

[exotic vector]

It's like a furry community but everyone's OC is a founder

[topaz pivot]

One more question: should we solve coding questions like programers on leetcode or code chef

[eternal dragon]

ew, programmers

[pine stratus]

programming/scripting always help

[devout palm]

Coding skills are not essential for general cyber security jobs if not specifically focused on programming. But it is definitely beneficial for understanding the logic behind systems.

yeah I tabbed wrong thing

[lucid flume]

sorry 😦 , my english is bad

[sick lance]

It's ok.

Introductory Networking doesn't need a dedicated target VM to answer the questions.

You just need to have a machine with an external network.

[lucid flume]

like what ?

[deep kiln]

I need someone to help me get my insta account back by re-hacking it..🙂

[sick lance]

A machine that can connect to th einternet.

[sick lance]

No, as this would be illegal and agaist our community rules.

[deep kiln]

I mean it's my account 😕

What's illegal in re-hacking your own account?

[sudden pond]

recover it

[sick lance]

No, it's not.

It belongs to the platform you're signed up to, you just have permission to use it.

[rapid merlin]

contact instagram support

[deep kiln]

Can't, I tried.

[sudden pond]

contact support then

[deep kiln]

That doesn't make any sense. So if your discord channel gets hacked or whatsoever you'll not say that this was your channel or whatsoever?

You can say it's your channel but you own the data not the service.

[deep kiln]

How many days min?

[rapid merlin]

they get probably several thousand emails

a day

they aren't gonna get around to you within a few days

[mossy river]

You're not attacking the account you're attacking the infrastructure that owns the service.
Admitting that you "tried to recover the account" is worrying

[rapid merlin]

I'd say 2w at least

[deep kiln]

Damn they'd deactivate it again

[rapid merlin]

again?

[rapid merlin]

This is like the 3rd in 2h

[deep kiln]

Yep when they hacked it they immediately disabled the account for a few weeks

[sick lance]

Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do.

[deep kiln]

👍🏻

[mossy river]

My recommendation:

• don't click on links,
• don't download random files off the internet,
• use 2FA (don't use SMS 2fa),
• don't reuse passwords

[rapid merlin]

and what does waiting for a support email have to do with the account being deactivated

[sick lance]

Don't scan QR codes.

[deep kiln]

I Don't know , maybe Can't find the account anymore or smth?

[exotic vector]

that reminds me gotta do my password change routine

[deep kiln]

Did that

[rapid merlin]

o/ fae

[somber musk]

what would eb the weakness of using sms 2fa??

[rapid merlin]

then we can't do anything

[exotic vector]

hiya

[mossy river]

SMS isn't that secure

[rapid merlin]

[sick lance]

Sim swap.

[somber musk]

ok fair enough thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @mossy river (current: #5 - 1360)

[sick lance]

Also when you sell your mobile, and change number, somebody else could get your number, and have your 2fa codes.

[rapid merlin]

^

[somber musk]

yeah that's reasonable

[mossy river]

There's reports of people being able to intercept SMS to get 2FA codes

[somber musk]

just never thought of it 💀

[mossy river]

I cannot confirm or deny

[rapid merlin]

where I'm curious now

[sick lance]

Sim swap attack

[devout palm]

Like, physically or virtually?

[rapid merlin]

I'd imagine it's a bit of both

[boreal scarab]

I think Twitch pushes the SMS 2FA waaaaaaay too hard.

"Avoid being hacked, give us your phone number to avoid hackers"

Guess they changed the wording

[exotic vector]

I have to use a government portal because im on benefits and it uses SMS by default for a code "to check that its really you" theres no way of swapping it to a proper 2FA either

[boreal scarab]

Gotta love government sites.....

Care 0 about sec when it comes to consumers, but go balls to the wall when it's their gear

[exotic vector]

the gov here was advertising a cybersecurity head role and it made headline news because the pay was £65k pa

It was funny reading the comments

[chilly veldt]

I don't want to work anymore

I HATE PRINTERSSSss

IT'S JUST SO FUCKING STUPID

[rapid merlin]

[chilly veldt]

LIKE WHY DO YOU FEEL THE NEED TO FEED OUT 3 EXTRA LABELS AFTER A PRINT

AND THEN JUST OFF YOURSELF

[rapid merlin]

Nobody knows why printers are temperamental

That’s why people don’t buy them

Mines not currently plugged in and I ran out of ink

[sick lance]

Printers are a good way to infiltrate a network.

Think banks 😉

[chilly veldt]

YUP

[boreal scarab]

Have you considered getting a sofa?

[silver sky]

We all start somewhere!

Get a camping chair!

[boreal scarab]

I think some are like $18 or around there at Walmart

[rapid merlin]

When I’m done paying off for the bed and wardrobe I’m gonna get this one

[silver sky]

Just get a camping chair, that's how I started

[chilly veldt]

I have lived in my apartment for almost a year and I don't have a couch

[exotic vector]

[rapid merlin]

Camping chairs are comfy too

[rapid merlin]

No sofa gang 😅

[silver sky]

I now do have a sofa. But I need a new one 👀

[chilly veldt]

I always have a camping chair in my car

[silver sky]

I need one of those old man ones that push you out of it

[granite narwhal]
