general

[crude stump]

For example you only need a few commands to really navigate the terminal. Like basic basic commands, there’s tons of other commands that do different stuff

ls, cat, cd etc is some of the most used commands you would use

Thats for Linux of course

[craggy tree]

oh

im thinking of a situation where im reading it to see whats causing an error or something yk

[rapid merlin]

Not really, I'd say you need at least a basic understanding of programming and how to read code

[brittle lynx]

I will give u the example of myself:

1. I took 4 different full Python courses before I started hacking

2. When I hack now I never write code, only chat gpt writes my code

[jade topaz]

Oi pessoal

Alguém aqui fala português?

[rapid merlin]

because, inevitably, ChatGPT will shit 13 bricks

english only proxy

[brittle lynx]

Yeah this happens

But 80% of the time it doesnt

So ..

[rapid merlin]

and that 20%

I'm not saying learn every singular language

[crude stump]

Eh, that’s something wrong with your command, it’s not like a error were you have to look through tons of code

[rapid merlin]

I'm saying, have foundational knowledge of programming and languages such as bash and powershell, is useful

[crude stump]

Of course, any language is useful

It makes it easier when you do come across it

[rapid merlin]

bash, powershell & python are probably the 3 main languages you'll use/see

[brittle lynx]

I think if this person is young, then he should learn how to script with python, bash, and PS.

But im already 28 I cant afford time to script myself

[jade topaz]

Xuxa

[craggy tree]

yeah im 16 and really really basic but i wanna learn efficently

[craggy tree]

yes?

[jade topaz]

Are you American?

?

[craggy tree]

yes?

[crude stump]

Yeah you don’t have to learn a language from the base up, start doing basic cybersecurity stuff like in the pre security course, or cybersecurity 101 that thm offers

[jade topaz]

serious ?

@craggy tree ^

[craggy tree]

tyyyy

[crude stump]

Yw

[craggy tree]

its asking for institution name but i study at home 💀 what do i do

[crude stump]

You can skip that

That’s teyhackme right?

[craggy tree]

yea

[molten sky]

i hate it here

the people that stop at clearly open yields or before entering a wholly protected lane with no yield whatsoever are worse

[molten sky]

lies

[crude stump]

No

[boreal scarab]

OMFG yes

[crude stump]

I would never

Me? Lie?

[craggy tree]

i js got my permit and i do that all the time

better be safe than sorry

😔

[molten sky]

the people behind you hate you

the people in front of you hate you

[boreal scarab]

The people beside you hate you

[molten sky]

the people next to you as well

[craggy tree]

oh.

[molten sky]

traffic patterns exist for a reason -- break the pattern and everything goes to shit

[craggy tree]

🥲

[boreal scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/itslikethat-angry-cocky-gif-4220171589065346737

[craggy tree]

the cars i gotta yield to go way over the speed limit i can't calculate

[molten sky]

like when people wave you on trying to be nice ---- like yeah i get that you wanna be nice but you have the right of way just go

[craggy tree]

they'll zip by

[crude stump]

You should always yield either way, don’t come to a complete stop but definitely slow down

[craggy tree]

i thought yield DOESN'T have the right of way

[molten sky]

not when it's a protected lane and it's literally made for you and nobody else

[molten sky]

yield doesn't have right of way

[crude stump]

Protected by who?

People are still crazy

[wild rose]

I just drive and beep beep my horn when I want to go somewhere. call me crazy, but it works.

[molten sky]

like on a highway onramp where you have half a mile of your lane being literally just your lane with solid lines and no merging anywhere

[crude stump]

Ooh yeah

That’s dumb

[molten sky]

you don't stop there --- but people do

[crude stump]

Stoping on a highway is stupid, that’s dangerous too

[molten sky]

these roads weren't designed for this heavy traffic --- but people just keep on comin

stay away pls

[wild rose]

I hate when ppl drive obviously slow as ... Like plz learn the speed limit and get out of ppl's way.

[molten sky]

added context: stopping at a yield is fine if you are actually yeilding to oncoming traffic. coming to a full stop at a yield when the road is clearly empty will annoy everyone behind you
and no the other side of the fence, when you have a protected lane with no stop or yield, stopping will piss them all off even more

[craggy tree]

oh

yeah i don't do that

[craggy tree]

bro

[molten sky]

forget speed limits --- stay tf out of the left and middle lanes if you're not passing people

[crude stump]

Yeah I got confused too xuxa

[craggy tree]

i get tailed whenever i follow the speed limit

i always gotta go at least 5 miles over

[crude stump]

Ignore em

[molten sky]

the people who do 55 in the middle lane should lose their license just the same as the guy doing 65 in the left

[crude stump]

If they don’t like you going the speed limit they can go around you

[craggy tree]

yeah

[crude stump]

I’m not bouta just a ticket just because you want to go 20 over

[wild rose]

I peel out when I drive, yes I have moments of road rage, but I'm not going to crash my car into you, so move over.

[craggy tree]

true

[crude stump]

If you are on the highway, best to stay on the far right lane, if they want to go faster they can move over and pass you

[molten sky]

^ and that doesn't mean the middle or second lane

stay RIGHT

[wild rose]

but my car is going to be in the shop for a couple of days cuz people don't know how to parallel park, messed up my car and ran off.

[crude stump]

City life?

[wild rose]

yup

[crude stump]

Of course

I saw these rubber bumper guards, they were actually pretty neat ngl

[craggy tree]

yall should invest in an app

it will do wonders

[craggy tree]

yeah duolingo excuses my grammer

like the ` and stuff

[mossy river]

Problem with TryHackMe having an app is cybersecurity is very difficult from mobile.

[mossy river]

I said cybersecurity was difficult, not impossible

[molten sky]

they suck more than a leech

funny headline tho

[pallid lotus]

"Cybersecurity" has nothing to do with it.
Using a small screen and virtual keyboard makes it harder to attack things out of sheer inconvenience.

Absolutely nothing stopping you having an app to answer questions though, or read theory.

[craggy tree]

can't u attack android thru a desktop or no

[mossy river]

TryHackMe is a cybersecurity platform, cybersecurity has everything to do with it 😆

[pallid lotus]

A fair few of us have completed challenge rooms a long time ago with Termux, purely for the giggles.

[molten sky]

you can with a smart toaster if you try hard enough

[pallid lotus]

Okay, explain how cybersecurity as a topic is incompatible with mobile devices?

By that logic so is any other topic of learning lmfao

[mossy river]

I said difficult 😊

[molten sky]

i'd say it's more of a "if you have to ask, you probably shouldn't" type deal

[pallid lotus]

You're conflating cybersecurity with hacking.

[rapid merlin]

Bluetooth Cameras especially i forced my workplace to get wired offline ones :D

[pallid lotus]

Performing an attack from a mobile device is harder.
"Cybersecurity" as a topic of study is no harder on mobile than it is on any other platform.

[molten sky]

hopefully vlan-ed off and outbound restricted just as tightly as inbound
god i hate cameras and printers and anything iot

[rapid merlin]

Yeaaaa

[pallid lotus]

Or better yet, USB

KISS principle comes to mind.

[molten sky]

underpaid watchmen?

[rapid merlin]

I ran one nmap scan on my workplace mfs had over 200 ports open i was gonna cry

[molten sky]

also USB is ironically far from KISS in many ways

[pallid lotus]

Is that bad?

[rapid merlin]

like 3/4 of them was hardly ever used

[rapid merlin]

They use basic credentials

[pallid lotus]

That isn't great

[pallid lotus]

Neither is that 🤣

[rapid merlin]

[rapid merlin]

[craggy tree]

yall how do i install brave pls help

on debian

[wild rose]

sudo apt install brave-browser

[craggy tree]

unable to locate package

[rapid merlin]

brave is bad

use something like librewolf

you do have to do some manual configuration, changing the search engine to ddg and a couple of other things I completely forgot about

[blazing granite]

Seltzer is carbonated water with a lot of minerals, the alcohol comes from malted alcohol base and is 5% ABV. I'm not a fan, no complexity, no depth of flavour. Just carbonated water, some alcohol and fruit flavour

[blazing granite]

sudo apt install curl

sudo curl -fsSLo /usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg] https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/ stable main"|sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release.list

sudo apt update

sudo apt install brave-browser

you have to add the repo

[blazing granite]

see the msg above

[blazing granite]

librewolf is base on firefox, brave is base on chromium too different things, I use firefox as default and brave when I need a chromium base browser

[blazing granite]

is better than install chrome that's for sure 😂

[craggy tree]

I used flatpak

[craggy tree]

Same im wondering if I should set brave as default or stick to firefox

[blazing granite]

I don't understand the need of the flatpak when a deb is available, but it's your system so it's your choice 🙂

[wild rose]

yeah that was off the top of my head.

[blazing granite]

personal choice

[craggy tree]

The public key wasnt available

[blazing granite]

brave is not part of the core of soft in debian, and neither debian have a deb that they maintain, so you have to add brave repo

[molten sky]

i'm a fan of just loading the deb or rpm myself but containerized applications do have a lot of positives over native

[blazing granite]

the key is always available, that's the whole point of a public key 😂

[molten sky]

dependency isolation, security, stability, ease of support for the upstream, etc

overally system stability sometimes not even just for the app itself

[craggy tree]

I'm js saying what konsole said😭

[blazing granite]

I'm old school, I avoid, snap, flatpak, etc if I can 🙂

[blazing granite]

you have to get the key with curl

[molten sky]

snap? absolutely. canonical can eat shit.
flatpak? I'm a fan. I don't use it PERSONALLY out of preference if I can avoid it, but it's honestly a pretty great tool

esp when paired with immutable distros

[craggy tree]

I did then updated then installed brave and it said it couldnt be verified cus the public key is not available

[blazing granite]

sudo curl -fsSLo /usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg

you can get it from https://brave.com/signing-keys/ too

[blazing granite]

also as far as I've seen snap/flatpak don't work as well as native deb/rpm base on my humble experience 🙂

but everybody can chose the one they want, that's one thing I love about Linux, the choices 🙂

All that base on my short experience on Linux 😂

[wild rose]

Rubber Ducky you're the one, you make bath time lots of fun.

[craggy tree]

I used flatpak cus deb was giving a hard time but it's usually my first option

[blazing granite]

hard time?

[craggy tree]

Yes i'd send screenshots but I'm on ohone rn and too lazy to block out all the extra stuff

[blazing granite]

literally you had to copy and paste the lines I posted 😂

[craggy tree]

I did😭

They were the ones from braves website

[blazing granite]

so the problem is on you, not on brave. I've install brave with those lines hundreds of time, not a single time I had an error

[craggy tree]

I think the problem is with my computer cus a while ago I ran a bunch of commands without rly understanding what they meant and now every time I do something I gotta fix something I caused 💀

Okay I slep now gn everyone

[cloud quiver]

Good night buddy 🙂

[blazing granite]

too bad, I haven't found a good Linux discord, a few I visited where not knowledgeable at all, or a bunch of elitist dicks 😂

[molten sky]

debian irc, fedora matrix (rip fedora irc)

fedora irc is still sorta activeish once in a while on libera chat but it died when the matrix-irc bridge was killed --- deb is on the OFTC server

[blazing granite]

fedora has a discord, but when I joined I stumble upon a bunch of dicks, so I left 😂

[molten sky]

i don't _think_ that's official but honestly no idea

the matrix one is actually official and they boot the odd asshole

i pop in once in a while if I have a packaging issue or whatever else

[blazing granite]

maybe, I thing I found it through the discover function on Discord

[molten sky]

can't say i've ever tried that fx tbh

[blazing granite]

I know they have a community on mastodon but I don't use that platform and I'm not going to create an account just to see what's up with that, I'm too lazy 😂

[molten sky]

yeah that's a hard no for me as well

irc is the only form of social media i use regularly, and discord only for thm and to dm a couple other oss maintainers

[blazing granite]

I left IRC long time ago, I didn't even know it was still alive 😂

back in 1993 I used to hang out in undernet, and efnet servers

I even had a channel myself in undernet 😂

[molten sky]

alive and well in many communities!

irc > discord any day

still waiting on the thm irc-discord bridge

[blazing granite]

I always say that discord is the grandson of IRC 😂

[molten sky]

ya know the good times weak men, weak men hard times, hard times strong men, etc trope

discord is the good times making weak men generation of chat

[blazing granite]

I used to use bitchX to chat 🙂

[molten sky]

Last stable release was a decade ago last Thursday

[blazing granite]

I used a bit of mirc on windows I remember, before I could setup my linux to conneted to the internet. I had a problem with pppd on slackware, that almost made me his bitch 😂 many hours reading man pages

dial up was a bitch, also I had problems with the driver modem until I bought and external us robotics, something you never forget 😂 so much tears 😛

[molten sky]

I actually can't say that I've ever loaded slackware

& speaking of dial up, POTS lines are being shut down for good across the country, so some guy went ahead and spun up his own lil ISP with a couple people just to mess around with what lil time they had left -- was a fun watch

[blazing granite]

I didn't chose slackware it kind fell in my lap, also not many choices back in 1993 anyways 😂

I used it for 2 years I guess, until I discover that were other distros and I switch to debian, because slack didn't have a packages system

a very new debian, debian also was created in 1993 a few month after slack, I think slack was july and debian august, something like that

@molten sky Thanks for the walk on memory lane, but I need to go to sleep 🙂 bye!!!

Alright I myself just experienced one of the weirdest IT issues I’ve heard of in my life. I was just minding my own business and chatting with folks on Discord via my Windows 11 laptop hooked up to my TV, until…

100% green, and computer went completely unresponsive until a hard reboot

[brazen plover]

How to download python in my windows 7 laptop

[sinful moon]

There’s a Windows installer for Python on the python website

If it’s too new than Win 7, well figure it out as one does, Why would you be on Win 7

[molten sky]

wait

windows 7

my guy -- update that shit

[brazen plover]

Ok

[sinful moon]

Literally vulnerable to a bunch of things this site trains people on, although fair patched against the worst of it

[molten sky]

the final final final final for reaslies final end of support date was back in 2020 --- and it's probably been effectively dead for a decade

*bricks laptop*

[sinful moon]

When Microsoft or VMware patches their end of life software for a vulnerability, they are not kidding around

So lol gosh heck you if you are not fully up to date

[molten sky]

idk what you're talking about my vista box is running fine

[sinful moon]

unironically so are my Win 98SE and XP SP3 machines, but they’re VLANed and more, honestly just being behind a router/firewall is kinda what was needed in the first place which was not always the case back then

[molten sky]

the irony is that connecting a vista, xp, 2000, whatever box straight to the internet is probably far more secure than 7, considering how antiquated it is

far fewer automatons targeting that gen (and even fewer people)

[sinful moon]

Nah XP and 2000 will be exploited in about 20min in that setup

[last walrus]

oh my god tulip from infinity train

[sinful moon]

heck yes c:

[molten sky]

the what from where

[sinful moon]

Nice name btw

(My avatar, null)

[molten sky]

didn't realize that was stolen from somewhere

~~ should be paying royalties if you're gonna use someone else's intellectual property ~~

[sinful moon]

It’s a Cartoon Network show that was killed before its time for being too mature, and put on HBO Max to die before also being killed for having no viewers because no one knew about the move

[last walrus]

the character's known to be a hobbyist game coder

[molten sky]

too mature as in not childish enough or too mature as in not for children

[sinful moon]

lol Null I started with Red from Transistor avitar, then another, then Mara Jade from Star Wars EU, then Sophia Hapgood from Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, and now this

[molten sky]

i know what some of those words are

[sinful moon]

lol

[last walrus]

my PFP was Ryan from book 4. once

[sinful moon]

a bit of both lol as most actually smart cartoons do, where they’re aiming at more pre-teens and teens

It aligns well with Gravity Falls, Steven Universe, The Owl House and etc as similar vibes

[molten sky]

interesting

[winged summit]

what's up people

[last walrus]

imo the thematic elements aligns with Steven Universe the most similarly, considering both of the shows like to focus on the effects of trauma on character development

[sinful moon]

Disney still too much of a pussy to put out The Owl House on Blu-Ray though, sad :c

mhmm agreed

[rapid merlin]

Hi 🤗👋🏻

[winged summit]

heyo 🙂

how goes it?

[rapid merlin]

Nice to meet you Daniel 🫡
I'm doin well. How r ya?

[tight trout]

I never watched infinity train, but from the clips I saw it kinda gave me bee and puppycat vibes

[winged summit]

hey, i'm doing pretty good. spent some time with extended family for a birthday party this evening, so that was nice.

[sinful moon]

Yeah that’s a fair assessment, but it goes much deeper in its vibes and topics

[rapid merlin]

That sounds wonderful eh! 🎉🥳

[winged summit]

yeah, it was pretty cool. what are you up to right now?

[sinful moon]

Like all of these shows, starts out simple enough for children, but builds more than enough for teens and adults via serialized storytelling

[rapid merlin]

JavaScript 😂

[winged summit]

oh nice. work or pleasure? haha

or both?

[rapid merlin]

Definitely both

[winged summit]

gotcha, that's good

what are you working on? can you say?

[rapid merlin]

Just an assignment from Uni

[winged summit]

oh, that's cool

what sort of stuff? frontend, backend?

algos?

[sinful moon]

sounds about right, I do think the Python will be a bit more helpful but depends on what all you are actually focusing on lol

inb4 uni frontendweb dev class, nevermind c:

[rapid merlin]

Frond end. Just the basics and slowly progressing towards advanced topics

[winged summit]

ah, gotcha. that's cool. you new to coding?

[sinful moon]

Totally fair and nothing wrong with that

[rapid merlin]

Yup

[winged summit]

nice! coding is really awesome.

[sinful moon]

nice web dev is a real smooth transition into this all, especially with how markup focused HTML and CSS is, with Javascript just being some fancy glue

it works well

great way to get started

[rapid merlin]

In the meantime I'm also studying linux, Cyber security & C# (I'm mostly into Cyber)

[sinful moon]

Cool stuff, keep at it

[winged summit]

nice. I've used C# for deserialization exploits before. that's super awesome. sounds like fun!

[rapid merlin]

Wow! I never knew C# is used in Cyber 😀

[winged summit]

yeah, some web apps use it

[split plover]

what's the possibility of exploiting vulnerability related to the last one? Not the same but something that is related and can be exploited in diff ways? I'm specifically talking about web here.

[sinful moon]

C# is also trivial to decompile for malware analysis due to its intermediate nature, which is fantastic, until people obfuscate their code enormously

[rapid merlin]

Alright! You must be an expert by now 🫡
Kudos to you sir

[rapid merlin]

Good to know that! Thank you for breaking it down for me

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @sinful moon (current: #36 - 237)

[sinful moon]

No problem, there’s some TryHackMe rooms which actually demonstrate C# malware analysis

[gusty inlet]

Hello everyone. Any clue on where I can find the rules regarding writeups?

[tight trout]

I tried to do some practice with reverse engineering using C++ and was met by an unholy sight in Ghidra

[sinful moon]

Similar to Java, C# code is kinda just left out there for people to peep at

[rapid merlin]

🔥

[winged summit]

are you talking about like, exploit chains? i'm trying to figure out what you mean. many exploits are usually chained. like, lack of form validation vulnerability on the backend, followed by injection, followed by a web request to pull remote code, followed by a reverse shell payload, etc.

[winged summit]

thanks. i'm no expert, but i know a pretty decent amount, heh

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @static spire (current: #2373 - 1)

[rapid merlin]

I could genuinely learn a thing or two from you

With your experience

[sinful moon]

In fact, every time you install a .NET update on Windows, your PC is compiling the latest runtime environment VM for C# and etc code. Which Microsoft rudely reminded us of on Windows 2022 Servers last month lol

1h30-2h update times 🙃

[winged summit]

thanks. there's lots of knowledgeable people here for sure. i'm one of them. feel free to ask questions and if i can't get to it, i'm sure others will. i'm not often around, but i chat sometimes 🙂

[rapid merlin]

I understand daniel. Sure i will follow your lead 🫡

[sinful moon]

TiWorker.exe is the guy doing the .NET VM compile in the background, and giving that process higher priority will help

If you have RMM or do remote MMC, you can usually still tell it to do so durring the “Getting Windows Ready” phase lol

[winged summit]

the best advice i have for you, is that if you're in school currently, which it sounds like you are, is to put all your focus and energy into doing as well as you can with that so you can graduate with your degree. nothing else really matters at this point. but yeah, if you have time for studies outside of that, have fun with it, but keep school the priority.

[winged summit]

that's some deep stuff right there. What's that about .NET in a VM? Is that how it works? I haven't explored it in much depth.

seems like more of a container probably?

[rapid merlin]

I'm 25 daniel. I worked as a hardware and network admin for 3 years without a degree. Now, without that I can't proceed any further. I love the industry of cyber security. So, currently I'm in my cyber bachelor's, learning again at 25 lol.

[sinful moon]

So much like Java, .NET languages like C# are interrupted languages… almost like Python but a bit more accelerated due to their hardware based bytecode translation and APIs. Basically Java and .NET make these languages go fast because they compile a specific runtime designed for your CPU arcitecture to run fast, instead of doing it 100% on the fly like old school BASIC or someting

[winged summit]

gotcha

that makes sense. i'm familiar with Java bytecode and just in time JIT processing

[sinful moon]

they just have fundamental compiled bits to always call back on instead of everything being inturpurted like Python

[winged summit]

nice! that's super awesome man. gotcha!

[rapid merlin]

I want to start my own cyber company now, offering services to others. That's why i am studying again.

[molten sky]

https://tenor.com/view/ppap-dance-pikotaro-fad-smile-gif-6099018

[winged summit]

that, and the glass ceiling right? err, I've heard that's a thing at some companies anyway. or, just making it easier to get new jobs with HR still living in the past where degrees were actually a deciding factor (and still are)

[winged summit]

brosef, sorry i deleted the server. i was being a freakin moron. let's just say some super weird stuff happened, and someone who i shouldn't have trusted convinced me to delete it....

[molten sky]

lmfao i was wondering --- tldr in dm?

[sinful moon]

If it helps, Hi I’m Elizabeth and 33. I am a sysadmin and infosec professional with no degree or certs. I have been working at this company as lead infosec and one of the head sysadmins for years. Don’t follow my example, but take this as a sign that not everything is degree/certs or no certs kinda vibes

lol I can at least claim a 2/3 female to male ratio at my job, but this is a small as heck IT company lol

other main female tech is our networking admin and she rules

[acoustic jetty]

hi

[rapid merlin]

Hi

[sinful moon]

I know a ton about networking, especially considering infosec stuff but one, I’m remote and two, she’s literally the one who set this stuff up. Never be afraid to ask for assistance at work c:

[rapid merlin]

But still, are u certain that people won't judge at work when asking for help?

[sinful moon]

I am certain, because this is expected work culture at small to medium business IT firms. Everyone collaborates. Even if we may be subject matter expects in certain fields, we’re small enough we’re often expected to flex into many fields we may not know.

There is no benefit in siloing knowledge, it shoudl be shared with your co-workers, and I am always glad to do so

[rapid merlin]

🔥

So you are talking about IT firms. Therefore, Makes sense i guess

[sinful moon]

I mean goes for any tech firms but yeah. But fair I don’t have any knowledge of huge multinational firms, I’m sure they have more hoops to jump through

[rapid merlin]

👍🏻

[sinful moon]

But like if I’m out a day and am the lead infosec person with no real backup, you bet I trained several other staff how to at least do the basics of my job so the business can keep going

Some people see that as a threat to job security but it really isn’t

[rapid merlin]

Ahh....now i get your point. Of course you should have a trained assistant as a backup

[sinful moon]

To be fair I wouldn’t even term them as an assistant, they’re peers mostly on the same level as me, just as subject matter experts on something else

Not all firms will operate this way, I’m at a pretty small org, but it works out well

[zenith mesa]

i agree with you bro

[rapid merlin]

You are correct! I'm just used to that term because everyone uses it here. So wrong on so many levels

[zenith mesa]

cool

[warped crane]

[rapid merlin]

🔥

[zenith mesa]

wooooh

[sinful moon]

Yeah I wasn’t kidding when I said this was a small org but we support a good 150+ companies, but fair about 15 of them actually need our help most often

[zenith mesa]

Am happy most companies are now putting security into consideration

[restive lantern]

@burgundi إ yesaa

I sent an email

Would they refund?!

[sinful moon]

More and more they are and thus engaging with our services more which is for sure a mutual benefit for sure

[zenith mesa]

yup surely

[sinful moon]

Did help close a deal last weekend, but yeah I’m far more into the tech side than the sales side. But still, gotta be around to explain the benefits and things like “yes this is why you segregate work vs personal computers” which is not always obvious to our clients

[zenith mesa]

me am still looking for a company to work as a pentester even Volunterring will be good for me i just want the experience

[zenith mesa]

the tech site is the most intereting part of all

[sinful moon]

Totally fair, pentester is kinda a bit of a life goal job imho, but honestly I think it’s best to get your foot in the door of security one way or another

I mean heck I got my foot in the door doing help desk and literally one month later we had Log4Shell, and my responses to that proved my ability to handle infosec concerns

[zenith mesa]

yes bro here in my country they dont consider security in most companies so getting a Job is not easy so am just looking for something remote

[zenith mesa]

woow great great

[sinful moon]

Totally fair and yea it may be onerous, but just straight up Help Desk may be a good start. If nothing else it’s IT experience on your resume, but heck it could lead to something more, in the same company, who knows

lol that dude just popped up as a meme as “this is okay” almost over the weekend

[zenith mesa]

Yes bro but doing Help Desk Remotely is like impossible

[tight trout]

Help Desk is how I got into Cybersecurity lol

[zenith mesa]

You did this onsite??

[sinful moon]

What I started as remote help desk?

[zenith mesa]

Can help desk be possibly done remote??

[sinful moon]

Yes you can’t go on site to fix printer broken, but there’s so much you can fix remote

[tight trout]

I did helpdesk for my highschool as a senior, and got an internship there after the director saw how I did during a big conference.

[sinful moon]

“Help I lost my outlook folders, idk what do please help!!!” (expands the Outlook view for folders one more)

[zenith mesa]

woow i will try it out. Please if someone got any recomendation where i can get a remote help desk job i would be happy

[zenith mesa]

ok ok

[tight trout]

I usually get spam from Linkedin about remote IT helpdesk jobs

[sinful moon]

Yeah sometimes their questions are perplexing but it’s usually just how they phrase it lol. A good 75% of our End User requests are like “nothing”

[zenith mesa]

Dude my Linkedin get blocked as soon as i create it

[sinful moon]

Help all the images show up as question marks on my new Mac, “that’s because you have the security setting on, let me toggle it off”

[zenith mesa]

sounds lucky

Yeap truely

[sinful moon]

And Drac, yeah that’s why we have Remote Monitoring and Management tools on these systems as well as remote connection tools to do remote support with full telemetery

Which! Is also why legit RMM and connection tools are abused by scammers, so keep an eye out

They are known to be legit so often abused lol

I literally had to fight with a scammer in real time where he was using the exact same remote connection tool as me so I had to be extra sure to kill the right one 🙃

[zenith mesa]

Danm bro the world is funny these days

[sinful moon]

mhmm lol

Although admin wise it’s 10/10

for a managed service provider who doesn’t have a single AD server for all clients (obviously), well we can just run a powershell script via our RMM which just does the thing.

Here’s a bit of a hamfisted example due to changes, but don’t want Windows Recall to be enabled on any devices despite that mainly being done via GPO? We can just push out a script which edits the same Registry Value the GPO does to every computer we maintain all at once, good stuff

[zenith mesa]

Woow smart bro

i just created a new linkedin account

[sinful moon]

Yeah it’s good stuff. LIke if there’s one bad Windows update for one reason or another? Deny for our entire fleet until it’s solved

Done that multiple times, because MS is not good at testing lol

with /r/sysadmin Patch Tuesday thread being required reading lol

but fair this is a bit more on the sysadmin side

At the same time, as much as I love infosec, I think you may do a diservice to yourself if you don’t get experience in other IT roles

lol if you don’t know the horrors of each role, it’s harder for you to anticipate and protect those concerns as someone in infosec

Alright I’m headed to bed, it’s been lovely talking with you all!

I'm doing on a vdp but should get a new laptop ughhhh to continue!

Dude ur writeups look so cool!

Finally no more boring ass writeups

[tight trout]

thanks! its just markdown with some libraries parsing them

[rapid merlin]

Libraries for wat?

Would look so cool having ur writeups open next to my thm tab haha 😭😂👌

[tight trout]

one turns the markdown into HTML, and another does syntax highlighting for code blocks

if you wanna see the syntax highlighting check out rev > secure_bank

[rapid merlin]

Is that some tricks? Sounds like it?

Sounds fun! Sorry 😭🌚

[tight trout]

wdym by tricks?

Hello, I hope you’re well

I would like to learn how to do reverse connections and hacking, I’ve seen some people on YouTube hack into scammer systems, and I’d like to learn how to do this. I will post a couple of links just so that you know what I’m talking about.

[dark frost]

Hey all , missing 3 days of tryhackme , job hunting is tiring

[naive violet]

This is illegal.

[dark frost]

That's illegal to do

https://tenor.com/view/wait-that-thats-is-illegal-gif-18393263

[mossy patrol]

Watch some of their content

[naive violet]

It is still illegal. Illegal and unethical activities are against the rules here, and if you continue you will be banned from this discord.

We have a zero tolerance policy for illegal activities here.

[warm root]

Hellooooooooo

[mossy patrol]

But doesn’t this fall under grey hat hacking?

[naive violet]

Grey hat is, by definition, illegal.

Please stop discussing it here.

[naive violet]

Please leave this sort of thing to the mods

[mossy patrol]

But as you should well know, it’s for good intentions.

[dark frost]

Pure white hat here

[mossy patrol]

But it definitely is a grey area

[chilly veldt]

there's an Attack/Defense CTF going on today, and it's half set up

[arctic cradle]

greyhat is the line between illegal/legal but it's still mostly considered illegal

[grim sparrow]

:mute: scamquest12#0 has been muted.

[naive violet]

@arctic cradle @dark frost Again, please leave this to the mods. Don't get involved when a mod is dealing with it

[arctic cradle]

I'm not doing your work, don't worry, I could care less about a mod position

[dark frost]

[arctic cradle]

I'm telling that clueless guy what greyhat is

becaues he clearly thinks it's legal

it's a general discussion after all

[naive violet]

Getting involved makes the situation more complicated, and makes it easier to misclick.

When a mod is dealing with something, step back.

you get a machine each, that you have to defend others from attacking, while you're attacking their machine

[devout palm]

Oh, we did something similar

But on a metasploitable machine

[sick lance]

Why Kali, WHY.

[devout palm]

We hardened the linux and attacked the other team

And they attacked us too

[tight trout]

id hate to jinx myself but ever since I've started using parrot I feel like I have less OS issues and more just skill issues bc i suck at doing

[arctic cradle]

@devout palm I hope you reconsider changing back the avatar, the star was so unique and all the mario fans would appreciate it

[sick lance]

Parrot is slightly more stable than Kali.

[tight trout]

it is based on debain afterall

the popup window or can be bonked or some settings that work on redirect or so things

i have issue that vpn not allow me to solve captcha thing. not all just sometime

As a heads up, "borked" and "bonked" are remarkably different especially to British people

[loud marlin]

what is correct one to use in this issue?

[naive violet]

Borked

You can do it in termux too

Not having root kinda sucks from the Termux perspective

Needing to bind on 445 for SMB servers etc

[arctic cradle]

James, did the scamguy leave the server or you guys banned him

[devout palm]

Right

[arctic cradle]

because he is DMing me but I don't see him here anymore

[naive violet]

[sick lance]

There is already a student discount.

[sick lance]

How long have you been here?

[naive violet]

I think I saw about this a while ago and there's some major drawbacks
If you're doing surface mount then single layer boards aren't too bad to CNC/Laser/etc but double layer doesn't really work

[loud marlin]

yea... is quite price thing. but is nice as for home use i guess

[naive violet]

Through hole stuff is more difficult but only because you need to add holes

[slow helm]

about 3 minutes

How long have you been in the server for

[slow helm]

like 5months or 4

[sick lance]

So you know by now they if you just ask the question, somebody will eventually answer it, right?

[slow helm]

i mean it's ralated topic question

[dark frost]

Still need soldering skills

[slow helm]

and i was about to say if someone want to awnser lets go to #room-help

[loud marlin]

just ask god damn question 🙂

[naive violet]

Every nerd and aspiring hacker should have them IMO

[slow helm]

oh i know what you mean now 😂

[sick lance]

This is my point.

You're directing conversation to another channel, instead of just asking in #room-help and patiently waiting.

[slow helm]

sorry mate.

never happening again

[brisk ferry]

My first soldering project was a complete disaster haha, but now i know not what to do

[naive violet]

I think mine was too, crappy soldering iron

I now do a decent amount, probably a couple times a week most weeks
I design and build surface mount boards too

[brisk ferry]

Ah nice, i'm just fooling around with arduino and a little bit of soldering components

Still need to solder a lcd screen to pins so that i can use it on a breadboard

[dark frost]

Broke many , and made many pcb , i my 1st diplome was as an Electronics

[naive violet]

I'm slowly learning electrical engineering so that I can design more analog RF things

It's hard going

[exotic vector]

I haven't done soldering in ages

[dark frost]

Building anthenna is a pain 🥺

So many parameter to take

[naive violet]

Depends what type, I've build dozens

Relatively easy, you just check them practically with a VNA and adjust

[loud marlin]

there was nice humblebundle pack Make Joystick. kinda interesting

[dark frost]

I made Rfid tags

[naive violet]

I've had a few make books, they were an alright start but not a lot of depth

[dark frost]

Then rfid reader anthena

[loud marlin]

i have 2x NFC/RFID implants in right hand 🙂 kinda love that hings

[brisk ferry]

Cool, i ordered some rfid components for arduino

[slow helm]

james you like the one who makes the book with depth 🫡

[dark frost]

You a cyborg?

[loud marlin]

yes

hence i cant solve captcha in browser and so 🙂

Hello can I ask if there is a resource about the screenshots and the data like the abbreviations, I was stuck at the pyramid of pain task 6 cause I dont have enough nkowledge about the abeviations and stuff

with this screenshot is there a guide as to how to read them in the software they are from?

I always use chatgpt but not to tell me the answer but to explain to me what the screenshot is all about

so I kinda feel bad and feel like Im not learning huhu though I understand the infromation and ask for more information like what woud it be like if it use other browser to run user-agent string

HI

[sand trench]

well as the pre security cert is already generated you are stuck with it saying op.... no way to regenrate it yet and it does not look like it is a high priority... it has been this way for years upon years

[signal copper]

hey is there any way to change the time of the browser

[glass nest]

time of the browser?

[sand trench]

just 2 more to go until advanced channels

[arctic cradle]

not hyped about that anymore considering there are other communities where you can freely discuss stuff

[sand trench]

yeah you can change a browser default timezone... why you would want that is debatable
if you are talking about when tryhackme rooms reset the daily streak counter hold on a bit while shadow grabs the message

[misty kiln]

I am currently on couch room , but I don't get root flag

After entering to root dir.

[glass nest]

keep at it, atmega. If you hit a wall, just do more emumeration (information gathering)

[misty kiln]

Ok

Thanks @glass nest

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @glass nest (current: #19 - 465)

[glass nest]

Oh, it can be on the dir or in the Desktop folder

in the root account

(bearing in mind, I don't remember the rooms, that just how some of them are)

[misty kiln]

Got it

[glass nest]

You could do a search for the word 'flag' or 'THM'

[misty kiln]

Found it...

Anyway thanks @glass nest

[exotic vector]

I got a flag today for the later part of the room by accident

[glass nest]

It's the boxes creators issue if you can just search for a flag 😄

[sand trench]

and here shadow is having second thoughts about using ml4w dotfiles for hyprland when they could roll their own

[exotic vector]

I almost switched to hyprland yesterday

[glass nest]

Haha, I told you! you are totally gonna break your VMs before AoC 😄

[sand trench]

what vms???

:P

[exotic vector]

they're still working, ive been using them today without issue

[glass nest]

I'm just playing 🙂

this whole community is around testing limits of software and finding ways to break/fix it

[signal copper]

hey guys is there any way to change time of the browser so i can use some more functions

of a website

[glass nest]

I did ask you, what you mean about 'change the time on a browser'

[sand trench]

could also ask what browser and what website

[glass nest]

Programs will take their time from 2 places - your computer and some server out there on the internet. If it's the first one - Change your computer time. If the second, then you can't

[sand trench]

firefox has a setting for timezone that you could access

[glass nest]

This is good, becuase it prevents you from (for example) trying to put the website back a few day to get more time on a subscription

[clear jackal]

What are the additional functions you are trying to use?

[sand trench]

but not gonna point people into details on how to do that as you can brick your firefox install profile if you mess about in that settings place

[glass nest]

Hehe, I reckon you have the same thought as me, Moose 😄

[clear jackal]

Probably

[exotic vector]

this is my thinking, they might be a free thm user and wants more attackbox time. But I would suspect the timing for that is all done server side.

[signal copper]

actually i have completed the today free tier features . so if i change the timezone so i can use it again

[glass nest]

Ahh ok. Well thats naughty

[clear jackal]

If you're talking about THM free tier, I am pretty sure that's server-side

[mossy river]

It’s a timer, it’s not based on your timezone afaik

Asking how to bypass a restriction in that service’s discord is bold 😆

[rapid merlin]

afternoon thm

late start today

[glass nest]

I mean... I know how to get more time on the Attackbox...

[signal copper]

but its say that you can get the feature after today UTC over

[rapid merlin]

o/ shadow, moose & esqy + jabba

[glass nest]

Sup const. How goes your book and course mission?

[rapid merlin]

Decent, made some progress on the first book last night, hoping to make some more later on

[sand trench]

yeah not touching this... up to jabba and thm staff to deal with it

[mossy river]

We’re not going to help you bypass any of the website’s restrictions here, sorry.

[rapid merlin]

rn I'm just chilling, gonna get started later

[glass nest]

[sand trench]

[naive violet]

[rapid merlin]

[exotic vector]

With thm free users they have access to the openvpn right? So they can connect their Kali vm machine ?

[naive violet]

Next week

[rapid merlin]

afternoon james

[lavish sage]

someone told me they usually do sales on monday so I was just wondering idk

[naive violet]

Yep

[sand trench]

think thanksgiving is last thursday in november and blackfriday is the day after

[naive violet]

Monday's not far away

[rapid merlin]

i am not american shadow so xd

[lavish sage]

can you use WSL as openvpn machine?

[sand trench]

niether is shadow const

[exotic vector]

Yay I understood something xD

[sand trench]

just know because there is a special ingame event in dragonfable each year for thanksgiving

[rapid merlin]

am I the only the one who's been listening to a lot of older music lately

[sand trench]

• technically think this extends to all of artix entertainment games but shadow has not touched the others in ages

[sand trench]

naah listening to old albums by hammerfall from around the time shadow was born

[exotic vector]

oooo hammerfell

[sand trench]

also listened to this recently:

if you like jazz it is good

and yes that is inside a terminal music player

[exotic vector]

I was going to ask that

[sand trench]

it is cmus

might take a bit to learn the key presses to navigate it properly

but it is very very nice

https://cmus.github.io/#features

if you wanna read the feature list

the gapless playback is amazing for a lot of albums

though if your way to listen to music is live streaming it cmus might not be for you

[exotic vector]

oooooooo

[paper wigeon]

hi

pleas i need help

somene has been hacking my google and hotmail account, I think this person knows me and is very insistent

[glass nest]

Did you change your passwords? If you are locked out, the only thing to do would be to contact Google and Outlook (for hotmail) support

[naive violet]

Please don't ask in multiple channels but I will reiterate - enable 2factor and use strong passwords, go to the police.

[craggy tree]

Change passwords and log them out ur devices

bruh

what do i do

[acoustic geode]

Did anyone do htb alert machine

?

[craggy tree]

not i

[sick lance]

Maybe ask their server?

[craggy tree]

whats htb

[rapid merlin]

hackthebox

[craggy tree]

oh

[rapid merlin]

similiar to tryhackme

[craggy tree]

oo

[rapid merlin]

yea

[craggy tree]

what channel do i go to for help w issues unrelated to the website

[rapid merlin]

depends on the issue

if it's just cybersecurity / pentesting related, you can probably just ask here or in #infosec-general

[craggy tree]

i'm unable to install brave

[rapid merlin]

idk

I only used brave briefly, years ago

I was qiuckly put onto librewolf

I've just been using that since

[craggy tree]

yeah it looks like a problem on their side cus the error is with their public key

[craggy tree]

hows it do compared to brave

[rapid merlin]

Idk, as I said; it's been years since I've even touched brave

I just use librewolf due to the fact it's hardened firefox, has decent performance and has decent privacy-based features

[sand trench]

https://privacytests.org/ here you go.... nice site to compare

[craggy tree]

sounds like what im looking for

[sand trench]

personally use firefox with multiple profiles configured in differeing ways and for different purposes

main profile using arkenfox with some optional settings for better fingerprinting resist

[hushed vector]

maybe you can try this https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases/download/v1.56.20/BraveBrowserStandaloneSetup.exe

[sand trench]

assuming they are on windows

[boreal scarab]

This is why I rock Mullvad browser

[sand trench]

shadow has some small problems with librewolf and most likely with mullvad browser too for watching twitch streams...

hence firefox with profiles it is

[craggy tree]

thanks i should get the nightly version 😭

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @hushed vector (current: #235 - 27)
