general

[wide merlin]

I really do want the physical copies of just about everything. it just not so viable for me. Ill have them one day though!

[loud marlin]

im also in love in real books. then again. 20 books oprice is one book for phisical

[wide merlin]

I'll be quiet now. Peace and love :)

[glass nest]

Physical books are great. buuuuutt... ralex has said it better'n me 😄

[upper knoll]

icl i prefer digital books

no control f on a irl book

[boreal scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/rustled-jimmies-ape-gif-5490983

[glass nest]

Dusty shelves 😄

Top shelf is hacking stuff-ish. Mostly 2600 mags

[upper knoll]

i love the read and blue to field manuals

[boreal scarab]

Needs more OSINT

[upper knoll]

i need to get new copies of mine

[glass nest]

2nd shelf is mostly Med school stuff 😄

[upper knoll]

i used those books so much they are lowkey recked

[glass nest]

Dee - that yellow one is --> https://www.amazon.co.uk/Operator-Handbook-Team-OSINT-Reference/dp/B085RR67H5

[boreal scarab]

Needs more

[loud marlin]

btw @glass nest i buy 2x metal blank card for bank. all is needed to get chip on it. thinking to go in bank and ask if is way to get chip only to insert in engraved blaks

[glass nest]

There a couple more, Beerise 😄

[keen depot]

Good Evening THM!

[upper knoll]

oh sheesh

ima grab that

as always esqy is fire

[glass nest]

Haha, I thoght you would :p

[upper knoll]

appreciate u

[keen depot]

I would have though the best of 2600 would be a lot thiner

[upper knoll]

would be helpful to have while i do tryhackme stuff actually

[glass nest]

Thats pretty bangin', ralex

[upper knoll]

cause my brain forgets all the little things sometimes

[glass nest]

Weary, you are a cheeky one 😄

[loud marlin]

yea. and when i show on work... they all want one lol

[glass nest]

Weary - It actually quite an intersting 'journey' through hacking over the years

Whole articles on one specific alarm system or elevator system

[upper knoll]

right chat i wanna get this sqlmap room done before bed time yall remember to be kind to yourself

and esqy u are fire as always ❤️

[glass nest]

Good luck!

Nah, I'm just me 🙂

[keen depot]

I actually had a subscription, back in the 90s

[upper knoll]

ie awesome

[glass nest]

Weary, I did wonder why you were so elite

Didja spot the blue whistle 😄

[keen depot]

no, no, I'm elite in spite of that

[glass nest]

Good to see you again, man 🙂

[keen depot]

Black Friday, I could finally afford to renew my THM subscription

[glass nest]

It is a great deal. 35% is a lot

[keen depot]

every year it gets later

[granite narwhal]

to connect to it next time will save for the cahce arp right ?

[upper knoll]

totally okay if this is wrong place to ask but does sqlmap not come installed in yalls attack boxes?

just hoped into that room and had to install it myself xd

[keen depot]

Its a great deal at the full price, but whats better than a great deal, a great deal with 35% off!

[hazy sundial]

does anyone know how can i make my own room?

[glass nest]

Yup, Thats my name 😄

but yeah, create a vulnerable VM, upload it.

[devout palm]

https://help.tryhackme.com/en/articles/6633511-creating-your-first-room

[glass nest]

Then the Room tester crew do their thing

[granite narwhal]

so arp to connect to it to make with ip with mac right who have the ip and will connect to it to device ?

[keen depot]

Big fanb of your M&S cake

[glass nest]

I've been given that at so many birthdays.

No complaints though!

[granite narwhal]

I got it uncle esqy

[fair lava]

When host 1 sends data to host 2 it will first check its ARP table for the MAC address corresponding to target's IP, it will broadcast ARP request to the local network if MAC address isn't in ARP table

[keen depot]

haha, I never thought of that, could be worse, imagine if you were named after one of the knock offs

[glass nest]

Haha, yeah, at least it's M&S 😄

[keen depot]

Its not just Uncle Esqy, its M&S Uncle Esqy!

[glass nest]

haha

more like a Lidl Esqy

Or Netto, if you are that old

[keen depot]

Terry the Termite

[keen depot]

Its scandanavian for value

[glass nest]

3p baked beans is value 😄

[keen depot]

I was on the dole in my 20s, i shopped at Netto a lot, it was next to the signing on office

[glass nest]

It was a lifesaver at one point, thats for sure

When I was in uni, a Lidl opened up nearby. back then it was bliss. Made the student loan stretch waaaaay further

but back then it was also 60p for a litre of petrol

[keen depot]

no idea how much petrol was, then or now, my base line is1.25 a pint of stella, but to be fair even then that was ridiculously subsidisded in a student union I was';t even a member of

[glass nest]

Yeah, i remember it was £2 a pint of fosters in a regular pub. the SU was insane.

they had an offer - if a uni team won their game that day, they knocked 5p off a pint of snake 'n' black. at one point it was like 45p 😄

That was a messy night

[keen depot]

in context i've been paying £6+ a pint earlier this evening

[glass nest]

Damn. that would have been 'festival pricing' when I was in Uni

[keen depot]

my ups is going crazy beepng

i best make sure its actually the ups not the carbon monoxide alarm

[cobalt iron]

American watchin a euro chat is just fascinating (and led zeppelin, ironically, just came on me radio - no quarter specifically)
petrol gets me every time ... we call the liquid ... gas ... idk how this happened but I go with it 🤷‍♂️

[loud marlin]

do shodan have some black Friday actions ?

[cobalt iron]

I'm not 100% sure what shodan is?
does this help or no?

The Black Friday $5 sale on the Shodan Membership ends in ~30 minutes: https://itsalmo.st/the-end-of-the-shodan-black-friday...
See what's included:
https://www.shodan.io/store/member

[loud marlin]

they have lifetime membership from time to time. just rare

[wide merlin]

Shodan is like Google but for the IoT

You search for servers, and can look for servers running certain things. Like websites, certain protocols etc.

A general thing to do which is fun for people learning what it is is accessing random cameras across the globe with it.

[cobalt iron]

??? Like ... I can "google" printers? for example say, in hospitals?

[wide merlin]

Maybe not hospitals directly. But you can use shodan to look for results of servers that have an open printer port.

You trying to bust down a print spooler? 👀

[cobalt iron]

Holy shit

...that company operates legally?

[wide merlin]

Potentially you could find a device in hospitals if you know all hospitals use a certain equipment and that equipment can be identified by it's header. But not saying that is something that happens but that's generally how you would find something so specific.

It's just a crawler

It's not it's fault that you left your administration panel on default configuration open to the www

If you look for vulnerabilities on there you will find a lot of honeypots. Things that look vulnerable but are only there to research what attackers are trying to do in the wild.

[cobalt iron]

^^ exactly my concern

[wide merlin]

Well, that's what happens hot dog man.

Don't put your sensitive infrastructure to the public internet

[keen depot]

I got life time on a blackfriday sale years ago

[cobalt iron]

Says someone that know security ... but the rest of the world ...

[loud marlin]

frack you =)... i aim for the same, just no luck...

[cobalt iron]

And the FBI in the US hans't "liberated" them ... this ... this is real??

[wide merlin]

The people putting it there don't know security

[keen depot]

You can also get life time with a academic email adress I think, noit sure if they still do that though

[wide merlin]

It's not that big of a deal really. Not surprising. You yourself could build a crawler to find these websites. So even if shodan didn't exist it's not like it's impossible for you to find the same devices.

[loud marlin]

nah... no need it so much. just well bi nice to have

[keen depot]

yeah i never use it, but nice to have it 🙂

[cobalt iron]

True. Good point.

[wide merlin]

Man, wait till you actually use shodan to see what it can find. You'll be like woahh

[rapid merlin]

evening

[wide merlin]

Even with Google you can dork for PHP backdoors, most have the default password set which you can find by downloading the backdoor yourself. Then all of the sudden, you are inside of a backdoor that was used to deface a website.

You'll actually see defacement banners from groups in other countries

And be able to access the functions of the backdoor yourself if the password was left default.

[cobalt iron]

Sure, but I'm not trying to go to jail tho.
18 USC 1030 type shit

[wide merlin]

I believe shodan can also search for such things. But I know you can look for the specific php files on Google and find that.

Yeah I mean also unauthorized access to computers.

But I'm saying that stuff is there, and not a lot of people know about it. So if you're surprised to see shodan, look at Google dorks. It's the same crazy thing sort of but at a lesser scale than shodan.

[cobalt iron]

Well, prison I should say ... jail is kinda fine .. been there done that not really worried about a simple lock up.

[wide merlin]

Well don't get locked up at all for computer crime

[cobalt iron]

That's the goal, let's be profesional and do the right thing

[wide merlin]

By not commiting it the best you can haha. Trust me, I've done bounds of things that if I ever talk to a normal person about it they think I'm going to prison. But like, I've been ethical the whole time 😂 I always make sure my shit doesn't leak and cause outside damage that would get me in legal mud

They just don't understand that. They hear I hacked this or I bypassed this and they're like :0 but not in a way I think people in the industry would be like :0

Honestly industry ppl would be like :| if they're in the know and that's okay, at least they don't think I'm a criminal in the back of their head haha

[cobalt iron]

Good deal, keep on keepin it clean

[boreal scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-hug-angry-birds-catbird-really-meme-no-fake-gif-9980836029424925531

Yeah man use ya whitelists if you got em!!

If you don't, create them!

I do a lot of WiFi hacking so it's def been important. Seeing as I got the big antennas and shit like that could cause neighborhood disruption around hyeah

The airwaves around my house be lit up like XMAS every few days 😂

(pun intended)

[hazy sundial]

@austere isle

ay

[winged summit]

what's up people 🙂

[cobalt iron]

man, I'm checking out shodan and as a raw beginner in security it's a bit much for me.
If I had a greater understanding of what was going on, I recognize a lot of the info from earlier labs in the THM courses (which makes me really happy) but ... IDK what i'd do with the info I'm getting ... for now ....

[winged summit]

ah, shoot, DM lol brb

[cobalt iron]

What's up fam, all good in here! New to discord and new to THM, hope ur well and good.

Yo, stupid question, how do I put emojis on ppls chats? I'm pretty sure I verified my account...

Nov 30, 2024, 12:00 AM

[wide merlin]

So like I said you can search it for services.

Services run on ports. One of shodan features is searching for devices via ports.

Interested in seeing how a specific service can be configured? Check out that services port(s).

I don't particularly think shodan is very useful outside of thinking it's kind of cool.

Does anyone have any opposing thoughts? Do you have a use for shodan? If so, what is it?

[hazy sundial]

ay im a bit curious how can i decrypt this? or what is it? WGlmbyB6cHYgdGZmIGIgaHBwZSBucHdmLCBtcHBsIGdwcyBiIGNmdXVmcyBwb2Yu

[wide merlin]

Looks like base64

[hazy sundial]

i tryed base64 and it dossent really give me anything usefull

[half girder]

try cyberchef magic when no clue

[wide merlin]

Well I see the letter W right off the bat so it's not hex. Let me check for ya.

[hazy sundial]

bet

[wide merlin]

It's definitely b64.

[hazy sundial]

Xifo zpv tff b hppe npwf, mppl gps b cfuufs pof.

[wide merlin]

So you notice how after deciding that string with base64, your output isn't random non Unicode characters?

You got just ASCII/utf 8 in your response. So that actually shows that you decided correctly.

You must now figure out what this text means

It is likely a cipher

[hazy sundial]

bruh

i had founded this base64 encryption online on a random site

[wide merlin]

Ciphers work by shifting values across an index. This is probably a Caesar cipher or something like that, a really simple way to obfuscate text.

[hazy sundial]

"When you see a good move, look for a better one."

cool

[wide merlin]

Each letter through the alphabet gets a number, 1-26, and those numbers get an offset. Where you would replace A(1) with C(3) for example. This would be a +2 offset.

[half girder]

base64 and rot13 .. "When you see a good move, look for a better one."

ah already solved, nvm then

[hazy sundial]

u were 30sec too late

sory

[wide merlin]

Was it rot13?

[hazy sundial]

i used the caesar method

[wide merlin]

Sorry for blabbing about ciphers then haha

Oh okay, good.

[half girder]

you shift characters

[wide merlin]

Yeah so it worked out regardless

[light shadow]

Hello, I am new. How can I benefit from this application, in your opinion?

[wide merlin]

So the same thing, but with a specific key haha.

[hazy sundial]

@wide merlin why u have a link to a youtube video in whitch there is a wet bird?

(idk how to spell witch btw)

[wide merlin]

Doing Caesar you would start at +1 then work your way up. When you got to 13 you would get it with ceasar.

Um

Sorry, pardon?

Ohhh

The shoebill stork

Idk I like the rain and that bird was chillin.

[loud marlin]

hmmm

[cobalt iron]

chess advice. love it,

[wide merlin]

You think that site is tryna tell you somethin pal?

[hazy sundial]

lmfao

They're like you may have found this link with our encrypted message, but you didn't find the other link with our API creds >:) 😂

could someone help me crack a code

[hazy sundial]

ye ye

we are the best at code cracking

[ocean agate]

could you dm me?

[hazy sundial]

just type it here

[loud marlin]

@polar spoke can you jump on WGlmbyB6cHYgdGZmIGIgaHBwZSBucHdmLCBtcHBsIGdwcyBiIGNmdXVmcyBwb2Yu

[hazy sundial]

geez

[ocean agate]

ok

(•••) •••-••85

[hazy sundial]

WGlmbyB6cHYgdGZmIGIgaHBwZSBucHdmLCBtcHBsIGdwcyBiIGNmdXVmcyBwb2Yu

[cobalt iron]

I suck but will do my best with the help of the community - and no, I won't DM you

[ocean agate]

trynna figure out the numbers

[hazy sundial]

"When you see a good move, look for a better one."

[hazy sundial]

nah tf is that

[wide merlin]

Going along with the encoding challenge you had Infront of you;
Just the other day I was doing a challenge and it had a cookie set to an encrypted value (in b64). I decided it and it was hex. Then you decide that and it's the data you want but backwards haha.

That challenge was fun, working on hacking every challenge in this one site with python only. So fucking with the cookies and shit via python was a tad annoying especially in tandem with reversing the XOR encryption that was originally done in PHP.

[ocean agate]

i need help cracking a phone number

by my hacker

this is what google gave me

(•••) •••-••85

[wide merlin]

I'm a go ahead and say that's probably illegal

[ocean agate]

i need to decrypt that

[wide merlin]

Yeah bro

[ocean agate]

so hacking isnt?

[polar spoke]

sup

[wide merlin]

No

[ocean agate]

he hacked my 500 dollar account for something

[loud marlin]

any words of wisdom on it

[wide merlin]

We all legally hack here. That's what this platform advocates. A legal way to learn about penetration testing and hacking.

[ocean agate]

how is it illegal

[hazy sundial]

its with UTF-8 and this is the result @ocean agate (•••) •••-••85

[ocean agate]

wdym

[wide merlin]

😂

[hazy sundial]

AY

[polar spoke]

do you want the answer?

[ocean agate]

so whats theactual number

[hazy sundial]

thats what cyber chef told me

[polar spoke]

lol

[hazy sundial]

now u continue

[ocean agate]

huh

wdyn i continue

[loud marlin]

sure thing. since i found thm user with that as signature

[polar spoke]

When you see a good move, look for a better one.

[ocean agate]

do i have to decrypt it?

[loud marlin]

oh lol

[wide merlin]

@polar spoke !? Think we've dm'd before.

[polar spoke]

👋

[cobalt iron]

What is happening rn lol

[hazy sundial]

idk

@ocean agate https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/

[wide merlin]

Yeah bro hey! I just joined this server today. I definitely have you in another. Hashcat!

[hazy sundial]

the best site to decrypt

[half girder]

someone using a lookup service and doesnt want to pay the fee they charge so he gets the censored information

[polar spoke]

yup, that'd be it lol

[cobalt iron]

facts!

[keen depot]

Or hes paid the fee and they just gave him the censored information he could have got for himself, lol

[wide merlin]

Yeah you're on my friends list lol. I remember where we met. What's funny is I talked about my project to you there which I also shared a bit about here today as well. I don't see too many familiar faces.

[wide merlin]

Yes and also thinking that we can decrypt it

[loud marlin]

btw @polar spoke how/where you test to chek what it is or so ?

[wide merlin]

You asking them how they find out what type of encryption/encoding a string is? I'm asking that cause I was a little confused at first but given the context in guessing this is what you're asking .

I know what kind of obfuscation is at play usually just by looking at the characters.

If I'm not sure I use hashes.com

[loud marlin]

chicken is known to be first one we annoy when stuck 🙂

[wide merlin]

Yeah I probably annoyed them a bit saying hi but hey man I don't know many people, I was like hey wait a second

[polar spoke]

its just base64 -> ROT25

🙂

[wide merlin]

Listen man you make a dope tool that is pretty standard to be used for our industry, we gonna praise you from time to time haha.

[loud marlin]

well... chicken is one who is involved on hashcat develop thing or whatever 🙂

[wide merlin]

Exactly

It's a specific kind of fame you know? It's a well received product

Like I don't see similar kind of fame or admiration coming if I release what I've mentioned here a bit. It's just sorta like oh shit. Not particularly useful in the same sense as a dedicated tool for the trade!

[crude wolf]

hey

Hi yall

Question

Where should i start to be a hacker?

[wide merlin]

THM actually has tons of resources to show you how to get started. Remember to stay ethical.

[upper knoll]

#start-here

[winged summit]

hey, welcome! 🙂 i see we have a mutual friend. that's also super cool you were looking at Shodan! that's awesome!

[winged summit]

just hover your mouse over the line of text they typed, and there should be a menu that pops up with options

[cobalt iron]

I didn't even know I had friend on here Daniel - that's good to know!! I'm super new to discord (online chat in general, my uncle had a business stolen from in due to online chats in the 90's and I never f'd with it, but I think I have a skillset I can help others on here with and that's what it's about to me - before I ask for favors)

When I hover over lines of text I get nothing 😦

Phone, email, gone through the settings menu several times ... I got nothing ... could it be a web vs app thing?
I don't have the app, just using the website. I'ma try that now tho.

Nope, didn't change anything...
Bet its fkn electron ... js is def riding the short bus....

yep...

ok I can't post imgs either, but ycombinator "confirms"

[crude stump]

@cobalt iron

[cobalt iron]

Yessir

[crude stump]

yk what's interesting, if you scan a malware signature and 90 percent of the different AV's flag it as malware but there's always like 2 or 3 etc that don't flag it. i wonder if its because what ever that av is for doesn't target those specific signatures or its just not good lol.

[rapid merlin]

50/50 I'd say

[cobalt iron]

I can't make a judgment, I come from web and YC is like a standard there - not saying it's a good one, not saying web ppl are right (their not, usually) but as far as malware ... I can't speak to that and wouldn't know how to confirm is all i'm sayin

[crude stump]

or it could be a very brand new antivirus brand but i thought avs have a data base that is constantly being updated with new signatures to flag

[cobalt iron]

Loosin me AceS - I'm Suuuuuuper new to security

[crude stump]

ah im just talking about how some antivirus software flags stuff and some dont

[cobalt iron]

To be sure, I have read through the provided link a couple times.
Not saying I'm doing it right or missing something, but I've yet to be able to get further than where I am (nowhere, lol) on emojis and and imgs

[crude stump]

that link is to verify your tryhackme account to be able to post images

do you have tryhackme?

or to be exact a account wit htryhackme

[cobalt iron]

I do, currently on the monthly plan (but their black Friday yearly plan has me interested)

[crude stump]

yeah so that link that the discord bot sent tells you how to verify

see how in my roles it says 0xOMNI

thats the tryhackme role

you get what ever your thm level is as a role and thus being able to send images

[cobalt iron]

I (am on MacOS) cmd+f 0xOMNI and I get nothing... 0/0

I mean, fair is fair, if I don't have privleges to put emoji or post imgs, it is what it is I guess 🤷‍♂️

[crude stump]

did you follow what the link is saying?

[tall stag]

When I am learning, sometimes I get very bored and I really don't want to do anything, what do you think is the reason and what should I do?

[crude wolf]

Hello everybody

[crude stump]

that happens, what are you learning at the moment

[tall stag]

And I haven't watched any videos for 2-3 days, I don't search for anything from chatgpt, I'm so cold, what do you advise me to do?

[boreal scarab]

Watching a Christmas Classic!

[tall stag]

Everything im new

[boreal scarab]

Die Hard!

[tall stag]

Network

[crude stump]

well that could be your problem

do you like the hacking part or the defending part

[tall stag]

Yes, maybe because I think I jump from topic to topic every time and the person whose broadcasts I'm watching is a little bit ahead.

[crude wolf]

hey AceS

[tall stag]

Hacking part

[crude stump]

hello sheluv

[crude wolf]

I did Jr pentest part

[cobalt iron]

I'm new too - and yes, I feel ur pain. Feel free to DM me or talk in open chat, happy to help boost you if you'll boost me! If this is what you want to do, let's get it fam.

[crude wolf]

so

if i have no premium

what more programs should

i learn

[tall stag]

The hacking part is more appealing to me, watching videos sometimes gets boring and I just write and read things on chatgpt

[tall stag]

🙏🙏🫡

[crude stump]

networking can be very boring for most people. its one of the boring part of cybersecurity unless you like it.

[crude wolf]

i did all overthewire using cmd prompt

[crude stump]

i find it fun but even then it gets boring

[tall stag]

I like network

[crude wolf]

so imma do what you said

[crude stump]

what i reccomend batu

[tall stag]

The only problem is that I'm working. I've been working for about 4 months without leave, about 12 hours a day.

Maybe about this.

[crude stump]

do you have weekends off?

[tall stag]

No

Since 4 months

I hope next month

[crude wolf]

should i learn linux_

?

[crude stump]

100

%

[crude wolf]

ok ty

[crude stump]

what have you learned in all

[tall stag]

After 12 hours I usually work for 2-3 hours, I use vitamins and Ashwaganda to keep myself fit and I consume 8-10 eggs daily.

[tall stag]

I learned

[crude wolf]

hey Coeus ramone

[crude stump]

learned

you just learned?

[crude wolf]

write to me in private chat

[cobalt iron]

Chef here, 12's are the norm - I want to make it work so I find the time.
You can if you want to - I've got a great woman to support me and kids and grandkids otw. It can me minutes a day, I promis, take copious notes, do ur best to REALLY understand, and if you don't do it again and again. We're not competing for an olympic gold medal here... It's EDUCATION, and that's that you should get out of it.

[tall stag]

It has been 2 weeks since I started learning, I have now memorized 20-40 ports, I learned the OSI layers, I learned the difference between HTTP and S, I learned what ssl and tlsin are, what tcp ip layers dhcp mac address physical ip address ipv4 ipv6 ip addresses subnet id subnet mask network id.

[crude stump]

idk about you but i think thats progress on its own

[crude wolf]

hey AceS

[crude stump]

whats up

[crude wolf]

are you a proffesional or begginer

cuz you know a lot

[cobalt iron]

Why? Let's chat here so everyone can help? I'm just a noob and there are ppl here in general with tremendous exp? You can DM me if you want, but I'm much more interrested in the opinions of experienced learners that can help us both.

No offense,
hope I'm making sense to you.

[tall stag]

I watched http desync, IDOR, burp suite videos, I looked at the diagram of lan and wan microservices, I learned KONG from API gateways, I read it, I looked at being versatile with a single service.

[crude stump]

i mean idk how to answer that question. im definitely not a professional.

[tall stag]

I don’t know

[crude wolf]

Its fine

[wooden totem]

experienced

[crude wolf]

like who you are then AceS

how you describe yourself?

(no offense)

[tall stag]

For the first time in my life I saw a port for Python web applications, port 5000 is flask Django.

I downloaded and updated Parrot OS, I'm looking at commands in general, but I'm always looking for something off-topic.

[crude wolf]

First

[crude stump]

a cybersecurity lover, want to work in the industry

[crude wolf]

whats the best terminal

[cobalt iron]

Not always but I hear what ur saying

[crude wolf]

ok

[crude stump]

i love researching stuff

[crude wolf]

ok

[tall stag]

When I'm looking at TCP IP, I'm looking for XSS or CSRF or something else and I don't know if this is healthy.

[crude wolf]

question

[tall stag]

Yes

[crude wolf]

Whats the best terminal

for hack

[crude stump]

especially APT's and different cyber threats

[tall stag]

QubesOS

[crude wolf]

k

[tall stag]

I think

[crude stump]

wdym?

[crude wolf]

cuz im using cmd prompt

[rapid merlin]

wdym

[crude stump]

how is that not healthy

[rapid merlin]

sheluv wdym

[loud marlin]

@sand trench well ml4w hyprland thing added fedora installation also

[tall stag]

QubesOS is the best for anonymity because it uses tor browser servers and opens a separate task tab for each process, so anonymity and privacy are at the top.

[crude wolf]

like

[crude stump]

every terminal is the same

its the tools

[rapid merlin]

Qubes is completely over the top for 99% of scenarios

[crude wolf]

im saying whats the best terminal

ok ty

[cobalt iron]

Developed a LOT of python apps in my days ... django/flask, some custom shit...
Ganette loves em'

[crude stump]

you can use a ubuntu terminal, pop os terminal, any os terminal to hack

[tall stag]

When I am looking at one subject, another subject attracts my attention, so I cannot stay fixed on any subject.

[rapid merlin]

isn't one really, alacritty/kitty are the fastest

[crude stump]

staying focus on one subject is what makes it boring

explore

dabble in different stuff until you find something you are passionate about.

for a example i love doing blue team stuff. its my favorite thing and i find it super fun. Everytime i try different stuff i either like it or not

thats natural

[tall stag]

I get it, it may seem strange to jump from topic to topic, but I always do this, for example, while memorizing the ports in the OSI layers, I suddenly found myself learning HTTP Desync and parameter pollution attacks.

Lol

[crude stump]

like i tried metasploit, it was really fun at first but i dropped it second day doing it

[cobalt iron]

Then ur doing it right! You're interested. And that's what matters.
Hackers, as far as I can tell are curious af about how everything works and fits together.
It's the "fits together" part that I struggle with.

[tall stag]

Yes

[tall stag]

I may be bored because of the jumping from topic to topic, but for someone who works 12 hours a day, this can sometimes be normal, sometimes 13-14 hours, so it can be an excuse, but yes, sometimes I get very bored, I try all kinds of ways to learn, I believe that I will learn as long as I direct my excitement and dopamine in that direction.

[crude stump]

batu have you tried doing challange rooms

[tall stag]

Dopamine is the key here because not all people have the same learning ability, some have normal intelligence, some have kinesthetic intelligence, some learn while watching videos, some learn while researching, and some learn only while doing it themselves.

[tall stag]

No

I have never tried it, but I will try, but I have no experience yet, so I haven't tried it.

[crude stump]

i think you would like challenge rooms. instead of the constant flow of information and boringness. You actually put your skills to the test and figure stuff out

[sand trench]

Ni ni everyone

[crude stump]

hello shadow

[ocean agate]

could someone dm me

i need help badly

[crude stump]

what is it

[ocean agate]

thatswhy i said dm

[tall stag]

I'm thinking about it and I'm going to lay the necessary foundation for it and continue there because sometimes I spend 2 hours on a very ridiculous subject, but the important thing is that I've solved it, I'm not bored, my brain, my head, my balance, my focus and my dopamine arrow are looking in that direction, so I go to the end and get that thing.

[cobalt iron]

Bro, you dropped ur dropped in earlier ... no one is gonna just do the work for you

[ocean agate]

im not asking for that

im taking a different approach

[cobalt iron]

You are tho ...

[sand trench]

Qubes motto is a reasonably secure OS... Privacy and anonymity is up to you

[crude stump]

what is it

[ocean agate]

i got a account compromised

[crude stump]

what type of account

social media?

if so contact support

[ocean agate]

i tried everything

i needed

a password cracker suggestion

[cobalt iron]

He posted some ... idk looked like he was trying to read a binary as a txt file, thought it was a phone number ... askes ppl to reverse engineer it.

[crude stump]

yeah we cant help with that sorry

[ocean agate]

and then i can do it on my own

notthat

[tall stag]

I told you what I know, I'm new, sorry, you're more experienced.

[ocean agate]

what is a good software to do so

[crude stump]

@mossy river knows

[ocean agate]

@mossy river ?

erm

does hashcat work?

[crude stump]

we dont know

[ocean agate]

oh

[mossy river]

@ocean agate what you are asking is illegal.

If you continue to ask here you will be banned.

[ocean agate]

its my account???

[mossy river]

It’s not your service

[ocean agate]

wdym

[loud marlin]

account is you have on someones service that is provuided. you do not own server or smth

[mossy river]

It doesn’t matter who opened what account, you can’t go around hacking accounts, messing with services or otherwise touching software that you don’t own

[mossy river]

I’ve got this thanks 🙏

It really doesn’t matter if you made the accohnt

What you are doing is against the computer misuse act

[ocean agate]

fuck that ill do it myself

[cobalt iron]

Good, diy

pls

[mossy river]

You’re more than welcome to. Please refrain from asking here or you will be removed

[ocean agate]

i mean i joined here to ask for helpbut

pretty useless

[mossy river]

The rules are very explicit on asking for help with illegal or unethical activity

[ocean agate]

mhm

idc if i get banned on this server

[cobalt iron]

Yeah, fam, this has to be a ToS violation - please don't engage with this.

Happy to be wrong if someone can site me something I missed btw

[crude stump]

Not wrong

[ocean agate]

like bro

it was a 500 dollar account

[loud marlin]

and before you move with thing you do. know that here are some police/fbi or so users... thm is company that need follow rules

[ocean agate]

like i js want a damn suggestion

[crude stump]

[cobalt iron]

No. pls stop ... just dude ... ur not here to learn, ur here to do illegal shit ... not what this is about bro.

[mossy river]

Can everyone please go and familiarise themselves with the rules, especially the one that says not to interact with rule breakers 🙂

You will be muted if you continue

[granite narwhal]

My wifi is ended

[mossy river]

Just so everyone is aware. I really don’t like throwing the book at people or telling people off. You’re all human and I don’t want anyone to have to feel like they can’t do things without fearing being told off by moderators

But if someone is breaking any of our community rules, ping a moderator and just act like they’re not there.

You are all wonderful people for wanting to help! But sometimes the situation is being handed a certain way and anything you’re likely going to say something I’m going to end up typing. Sometimes people can get upset and I would rather none of you awesome people be at the other end of threats or insults from another member 😓

Thank you very much @crude stump for showing how this is done perfectly, you’re a star 🤩

[narrow heron]

Hi

Question for the server… hacking generally violates ToS and many laws

[wooden totem]

perchance

[narrow heron]

What CAN we discuss about hacking in that respect that doesn’t violate server rules

[drowsy dust]

https://tenor.com/view/discord-image-perms-flex-image-flexx-gif-20201451

[loud marlin]

as in ethical discuss way

[narrow heron]

Like suppose I have found compromised networks or accounts and would like to discuss how to ethically navigate this situation

Not saying that’s the case, but what would we talk about ???

[loud marlin]

if you found you report

even better if is bug bounty

[cobalt iron]

On the top left there is a link that says "server guide" I'd start by reading that

Like multiple times

[narrow heron]

Yeah I read it, just didn’t see the value of the server if many real situations are off the table and even more hypothetical ones are off the table as well. I just mean what DO you discuss

Went through hundreds of messages and only saw people talking about aliens and pizza

[cobalt iron]

Good!

[narrow heron]

Of course CYA is a thing so can’t say I don’t understand

Are there side quests or challenges posted on the server? Like community activities?

[cobalt iron]

So, THM is a subscription website, as I suspect you know, and as far as I can tell we discusses the various challenges on said website. When people get stuck on something, here is where they come to get help. Not sure if that answers your question or not, but as far as I can tell, if you are acting in good faith and LEGALLY exploiting systems/orgs that are 100% consenting, or within the guides, I'd assume you're good.

[narrow heron]

Correct. I’ve only ever “hacked” machines and equipment that I own for fun. Not much of a hacker anyway but thanks for the info. I was looking mostly for challenges and activities to participate in with the community

[cobalt iron]

Sweet! Let's do it - super noob beginner myself, so I'm happy to learn with you and figure out how systems work and can be configured or misconfigured for "exploitation," if you will.

[narrow heron]

Thanks!!! Looking forward to it

[cobalt iron]

Anyone have exp with VirtualBox on MacOS? Probably missing something obvious, but I keep getting a shell instead of the OS booting. Bing/Google searchers aren't turning up much (well, as far as I can tell ... some forum posts that are similar but not providing a soln or really any meaningful advice.)

[rapid merlin]

you have to use UTM

[tall stag]

You should use vmware fusion, the license is cheap and the best for macbook, you need to download the things you will download as arm64 or amd64 if you have a processor with chips like m1-2-3 or 4, arm64, if you have a MacBook using intel, you should choose the amd64 option, I have m3 24gb air.

[wide merlin]

I seen this one coming from a mile away

Anyways, hope everyone has a good day.

[mighty flame]

I am so excited for December 1st! 😄

I am just finishing up the complete beginners learning path but I hope I can get some raffle tickets!

[cobalt iron]

hahaha, same

How sic would that defcon pass be? I can have goals right?

[sudden bridge]

just one day for aoc

[cobalt iron]

Never heard of UTM, I'll give that a shot.
Ur saying VirtualBox just won't work on a MacOS host?

Will attempt a debian (the best linux flavor of all time) in the morn.
appreciate you!

[gloomy arrow]

im doing the Python for Pentesters module, what is the target machine?

[gloomy arrow]

The target machine is what i need

[cloud quiver]

Target machine above is located above Tasks , if you want to start AttackBox scroll up the top of the room and press "Start AttackBox" button 🙂

[stray cliff]

I wouldd suggest VMware Fusion Pro it's free now and works way better than VirtuaBox (in my opinion)

dang someone beat me too it hahaha

it's just their ranking systme

Hello , welcome 😉

[rough dome]

so, KGB's a senior?

[rapid merlin]

yea OxD GOD is highest rank on site I believe

[stray cliff]

I'm not far behind him 0xA right now with 13676

[rough dome]

So, these roles get automatically updated in reference to the progress on THM?

[stray cliff]

but KGB is super helpful idk how he does it I just saw him help like 5 or 6 people at the same time I tried to help one and kinda felt like i was getting in the way lol

[cloud quiver]

Yes 🙂

[rapid merlin]

KGB how many points is required for OxD GOD

[stray cliff]

@cloud quiver if I delete this account and create a new one, then can I verify with my THM discord token again?

[rapid merlin]

uhm

I don't think so

[cloud quiver]

When you delete account , It's permanently gone along with token 🙂

[rapid merlin]

you'd have to make a new THM account, along with a new discord for a completely new token

[rough dome]

if I delete my discord account**

[rapid merlin]

each token is unique to that account so

[cloud quiver]

I thnk that you can then 🙂

[rapid merlin]

if it's already been linked, then you'd more than likely need a new THM account

[rough dome]

if I delete my discord, won't it get unlinked?

I bought them before the subscription based model

what does Rony?

[rapid merlin]

for TCM?

how much were they back then?

[lyric thunder]

im hesitant when it comes to buying courses

they seem to expire after awhile

[rough dome]

you plan to do PJPT?

$30 per, but I only paid full price for the OSINT course

rest were discounted at like $3

this is funny atp lmao

it hosted linpeas script but sneaked in a data collection line and it got everyone's attention lately.

so he removed the script and put this

wdym "data collection line"

HWID, IP Logging?

[sudden bridge]

thats why he's saying he could have gotten a backdoor, cuz ppl use this blindly - even though its not official.

[sudden bridge]

just very basic - uname, hostname, kernel, OS.

ah

why does this guy have everything linked as hacktricks 😭

i think linpeas (original) author is a contributor of hacktricks

[keen light]

Do you know a good reverse engineering framework for analyzing binaries compiled from Rust?

[tall stag]

I use ChatGPT to research and get general information, but as a friend of ours said, the information and details it gives are limited, is there a better artificial intelligence suggestion? My friend suggested Calud, what are your suggestions?
I generally like to read a lot and I search for every title that interests me in the chat.

[lament tendon]

I would not recommend AI when doing deeper research into topics.

[hazy sundial]

why!?!?!

[lament tendon]

They are great to gain an overview and to figure out what to look for next, but outside of that (in my personal experience) they tend to be very inaccurate.

[tall stag]

I am open to everything, I like reading a lot, reading is more interesting than watching videos.

[keen light]

archwiki

[lament tendon]

It truely is.

You cannot participate without hacking time first.

[tall stag]

I get extremely bored sometimes, but reading something is somehow more attractive than watching a video.

I don't know if it happens with you guys 😅

[hazy sundial]

hacking time?

hm?

[lament tendon]

Well.

[keen light]

with reading u can also listen to music

its normally just more chill and the information is much deeper than you would get with a video covering the same topic

[tall stag]

I think I got exactly the answer I was looking for, thank you. But the sound of the music can be a little mid-level 😅

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @keen light (current: #1576 - 2)

[lament tendon]

I get more bored from watching videos then from reading.
Also I'm generally faster when reading because it's easier to skip unimportant sections.

[tall stag]

Yep

[lament tendon]

I disagree with this.

It really depends on what video or what text you have available.

[tall stag]

%100

[keen light]

true but its very hard for a video to convey all the information without becoming word salad

but there are some really good video reasources out there

[lament tendon]

Same for text tho.

[tall stag]

While reading something, the dopamine level increases, so I'm talking for people who enjoy it, when you listen to music on the one hand and get dopamine from there, the brain seems to work completely in the direction you want, but it can distort the focus in some people, it can vary from person to person.

[keen light]

i guess i just feel like the text is generally higher quiality if you get it from a good source like owasp for web and archwiki for anything linux

[lament tendon]

Direct documentation / man pages usually don't have that issue, but it is more difficult to find what you are searching for because of the size. At least most of the time.

Text is also a lot easier to produce, so you are likely right about there being more higher quality text. Whahaha.

[tall stag]

😅😅

[lament tendon]

My dopamine level absolutely goes through the roof while reading the newest ISO standards. ;)

[keen light]

hippity hoppity your dot files are now my property

[lament tendon]

Heh.

My dotfiles are in a private repo.

I think.

[keen light]

ill find a way

my dotfiles are shit so no one will steal them

[tall stag]

I usually search for words I don't understand in the chat and the terms in the videos I watch, first of all, one of the most beautiful features of AI and AI is that it associates with 5-10 different subjects while explaining a subject, while learning a subject, you are fishing in 5-10 subjects, like collecting apples of different colors but the same taste from different roots of the same tree.

[tall stag]

🙏🙏🫡

[lament tendon]

I am pretty damn proud of mine, honestly.

But I ain't sharing them.

[keen light]

what DE/WM TERMINAL Emulator do you use

[lament tendon]

On my latop arch + wayland + hyprland + kitty and on my desktop endeavour os + X11 + awesomewm + kitty.

I will migrate my desktop to wayland in the near future as well.

[keen light]

mines very similar arch + wayland + hyprland + alacritty

[rough dome]

Do you guys have any Raspberry pi?

[keen light]

no

[lament tendon]

[keen light]

someone ate mine

[lament tendon]

Yes.

A normal one and a Pi Zero.

[lyric thunder]

why is everyone using hyprland lately lol

[keen light]

for the rice

[rough dome]

what are it's use-cases as a beginner?

[lyric thunder]

last year it was awesomewm everywhere

[lament tendon]

Because it simply looks better.

Like, objectively.

[lyric thunder]

im still on old meta, awesomewm :p

[lament tendon]

I can do everything I do in awesome in hyprland, but better.

[lyric thunder]

probably check it out when i have time

[lament tendon]

I'm like halfway.

My Laptop runs hyprland, my Desktop runs awesomewm.

[lament tendon]

Make it a Pi-Hole.

[lyric thunder]

make a sniffer

[lament tendon]

Or a lil' home-server to host stuff like vaultwarden.

[lyric thunder]

walk to any random cafe and leave it at the corner

[lament tendon]

I did not want to suggest this because rule 4.

[lyric thunder]

jk

please be ethical

[rough dome]

which one should I get?

[lyric thunder]

oh no

[lament tendon]

Like, for a sniffer specifically?

You should first check whether your laptop supports that already, aircrack-ng is open source and free.

You just need a wifi chip that supports monitor mode.

[rough dome]

I actually wish to know what are the varying use-cases of different versions?

[lament tendon]

Oh, they don't vary that much. Never version usually just have better specs.

I got one with 4GB RAM, which is easily enough for a Pi-Hole.

If I remember correctly you can also get one with 8 GB by now, at which point it basically is a normal computer. xD

[keen light]

my computer is only 8gb 😦

laptop

[lament tendon]

Just try to get one that has more then one code.

[lament tendon]

What model you got?

[rough dome]

more than one code?

[keen light]

thinkpad t440

[lament tendon]

*Core, sorry. Typo.

[lament tendon]

Thinkpad good.

One second.

[lyric thunder]

how do uguys think about the new m4 mac mini?

is it usable for cybersecurity

[lament tendon]

Here ya go, you can upgrade it. ;)

If you want to, of course.

I do like thinkpads tho, because they are so easy to take apart.

[lament tendon]

No clue.

[lyric thunder]

the price is lucrative

[rough dome]

hardware hacking is the coolest!

[lament tendon]

Prolly won't ever use a Mac in my life.

But if you can run a Kali Linux VM on it, you will be good.

Likely, at least.

[rough dome]

Proficient in Linux?

[lament tendon]

Very.

But that just came with time.

Don't get me started on how many systems I have wrecked so far. xD

[rough dome]

that's how you learn, I and my brother have done it with windows as a child.

[lament tendon]

I did use Windows for a long time as well.

Switched to Linux a few years back tho, and it's just neater to use for me personally.

Plus I get to save 150 bucks that I don't have to spend on a license. xD

What do you use?

[buoyant coyote]

hey

[lament tendon]

Heyo.

[buoyant coyote]

#rules

[nocturne oriole]

which distro you use?

[rough dome]

Windows as my main, learning Linux for technical use-cases.

[buoyant coyote]

where is the vc?

[lament tendon]

Arch on my Laptop, EndeavourOS on my Desktop.
Will soon fully switch to Arch.

[lament tendon]

You need to verify for VC.

happy computer security day

[lament tendon]

Computer security day?

[lament tendon]

Thinkpads are great.

[lament tendon]

Match your active border color to the rest of your pallet, lmao.

[keen light]

this is my config its just the basic hyprland config but its good enough for me

[lament tendon]

Looks hype otherwise.

^_^

[lament tendon]

Well, it sort of fits, I suppose.

[keen light]

should i make the color more inline with the rest of pallet

[lament tendon]

Did you know you can make the border color a gradient?

[keen light]

no

could do blue and red like wallpaper

[lament tendon]

Mmhmm, I thought the same thing.

[keen light]

ill have a look at the docs

[buoyant coyote]

join vc

[lament tendon]

Literally why.

[buoyant coyote]

nothing just chilling

[lament tendon]

Here ya go:

col.active_border = rgba(f9f5d7ee) rgba(f2e5bcee) 45deg

That's what I have in my config.

You can hardly even tell there's a gradient tho. xD

[keen light]

pretty cool

[lament tendon]

That looks pretty damn sick!

[fickle grail]

can anyione help me

[lament tendon]

With what?

[fickle grail]

i cannot upgrade my subscription with to early sub

i am getting error code 500

[lament tendon]

Oof.

Seems like a #site-support thing, potentially?

IDK.

I'd assume it'll resolve itself in a few hours.

[fickle grail]

yes but i think its india only problem

[lament tendon]

Server's prolly overloaded right now. xD

[lament tendon]

Lemme check.

[fickle grail]

pls help fast only 6 hrs left i dont want to miss this

[lament tendon]

Works fine on my end.

[fickle grail]

no i am getting the option as well but when i go to claim it it dosn't work

can i share you a video?

[lament tendon]

You sure can. I just can't do anything about it, since I am not staff. 😅
500 means there is a server error.

[fickle grail]

i will send you a video in personel just in case you understand my case

[lament tendon]

Don't, and talk to site support instead.

[fickle grail]

ohh ok

thanks anyways

[keen light]

It really is! Not only are they a sponsor of the event. We are also using them to host the CTF. All sponsors contributed to the CTF so we have 17 challenges releasing in the buildup to the event. Also have some online prizes (from THM) for those who won't attend but want to give it a go! See here for the room: https://tryhackme.com/r/jr/beyondthebarrierofbsides

[real light]

nice

[real light]

I just now am fully getting linux I just wrote my first bash script the other day

[wooden totem]

good job, you'll be an experienced hacker in no time!

[rapid merlin]

You can use Linux Mint

[real light]

yes!! I am really into the IDR

[real light]

I normally use Kali thats what I started on but I have wondered about other distros

[wooden totem]

ParrotOS is pretty nice too

[real light]

thats what the attack boxes are right

[wooden totem]

hack the box yes

wait what distro is tryhackme

[rapid merlin]

HTB use Parrot, here uses Kali

and o/ betta

[harsh tinsel]

does thm do christmas sales too?

[wooden totem]

right kali, been so long since in linux enviroment

[wooden totem]

what does o/ mean

is it a waving man

like o7 salute guy on reddit

[real light]

hahaha

[wooden totem]

it does mean a little guy, weird to see it on discord

you have emojis here, more style

[real light]

Ive never even looked at it that way

[rapid merlin]

honestly, kali or parrot both work

they're both pretty good distros, admittedly I haven't touched parrot in a few years

however, I've not heard anything negative about parrot

you can also just do this

like 3.6k results

[real light]

how did you do thay

that

[rapid merlin]

you have to manually type out "in: #general"

it's quite annoying

or just CTRL + F
