general

[blazing granite]

I was about to say the same 😂

I understand what he wrote but most of the people on the server probably wouldn’t so let’s keep it in English 🙂

[dark frost]

He said he made a discord group to resolve the side quest

Si si mi pablo espagnol

[blazing granite]

pretty much, that also count as promotion of other sites 😂

[grizzled wing]

the rules of this discord is English

[boreal scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/taco-tuesday-time-tacos-love-gif-24228453

[grizzled wing]

not even md5sum or hex code

[dark frost]

I want do the same now

[daring jackal]

dude's just hungry

[dark frost]

Missing half the food on the floor 😂

[daring jackal]

thats how i eat those little debby christmas cakes

[rapid merlin]

I can hear the sound just looking at that 😄

[daring jackal]

crunch

[rapid merlin]

his facial expression indicates he would make a good actor in a zombie film

[daring jackal]

youre so right

[rose tusk]

excuse me kind gentlemen and gentlewomen do you happen to know the password for the zip

[wooden totem]

it's called ladies

[rose tusk]

well aware of that 😄 i was just playing dumb 🙂

[wooden totem]

password for zip file? That's a bit strange

Sussy amogus

[rose tusk]

never

orange vent

[dark frost]

[wooden totem]

You know what I do when I see a zip with a password

[rapid merlin]

wayment.... Github is owned by MS? Good god, i never knew that. Honestly never looked up the owning company or person, always thought it was a private person that opened up to community collab for open source software and code.

[dark frost]

bruteforce

[rose tusk]

and ignorance

[wooden totem]

I'm pretty sure I remember it's super simple to just get the password with like 2 commands, but no - I don't open it on my main machine

[dark frost]

Github was made bye the Dinity Torvald Linux

[wooden totem]

False information, Github was invented by John Git

[rose tusk]

MS ownes a huge chunk of IT estate, linkedIn, github 😄

[dark frost]

but anyone can host his own Github server

[blazing granite]

and it's own by microsoft 😂

one of the thing of microsoft that actually work 😉

[wooden totem]

that's actually not true, Microsoft is a blanket corporation which hides the individuals who own it so they can live off the grid

[rose tusk]

conspiracy?

[wooden totem]

Long term fans know that if I don't start my sentence with "Hello, I am..." it's not 100% factually correct

[wooden totem]

could be true tho, I mean... you wouldn't know

[blazing granite]

Github is a subsidiary of Microsoft Corp that means is part of the microsoft portfolio

[rose tusk]

yeah, nor i mind that much, i just like throwing spanners in the work 🙂

[blazing granite]

if I'm not mistaken microsoft acquired github in 2018. I remember because I create my account a few years before that, I never really use it BTW 😂

[boreal scarab]

Nah, that's just leftovers for a later date

[rapid merlin]

Im sorry... 😂 i didnt realize i was responding to something from so long ago. it took almost 12 mins to get to current chat history. it spawned me in pretty far back

[knotty wedge]

🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 O-ver-joyed ! 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
I'm so happy : just reached level 6 ... and ranked < 300K ... woop woop !^^
Thank you THM !^^

[wooden totem]

First person in history that took "celebrate small victories" seriously

[knotty wedge]

Key to happiness !^^

[blazing granite]

if you don't celebrate your own victories, no matter how small nobody would 😂

[wooden totem]

Congratulations!

If you think about it, celebrating small victories equals 1 bigger victory because it makes you happy and more motivated

[knotty wedge]

Ok time to sleep now : after AoC and some more rooms to make it ... my reward is sleep at last !^^ Good night, all !

[finite granite]

Good night!

[pearl kindle]

well said

[blazing granite]

my reward is always a drink, but to each its own 😂

[sand trench]

welp time to call it a nighty knightly knight night for nighty nights while shadow goes meep moop to the beep boop

[blazing granite]

Who wants another drink?

[rose tusk]

anyway, i'm off to bed. Have an easy night peeps ~

[oblique loom]

Duckduckgo has ai too.. there are several other options.

[boreal scarab]

[oblique loom]

Oh gods lol

[normal fable]

Host your own ai. 🤷

[oblique loom]

Gotta love that love-hate relationship you build with new technology

[blazing granite]

@normal fable 👋 How are you?

[normal fable]

Good good rex. How you?

Just on the train home from the office

[blazing granite]

Already fed, and chilling with a drink so I can't complain

[normal fable]

Actually scheduled my first sec cert exam.. just the CC.. but maybe motivate me to do more.

[oblique loom]

Same, 'cept the fed part. Lol

[blazing granite]

great news

[normal fable]

17th.. so I'll def put a post here after to let y'all know pass/fail

[blazing granite]

Let's hope I don't get bad anxiety..

[daring jackal]

[boreal scarab]

"How basic do you want it boss?"

ChatGPT is down

Have a Fox

[oblique loom]

By the gods, I knew it x.x

[oblique loom]

Welp, guess I'm actually going to just learn a whole language. Lol

Was the plan anyways

Just difficult to learn eastern culture for western me

[daring jackal]

Go for it🔥you got it

[oblique loom]

Katakana doesn't seem too bad, seems... learnable(?) Lol

Depends i guess

I don't even speak Spanish

That's like, instant outcast for me

[daring jackal]

I was almost fluent in spanish but i forgot the majority of what i learned overtime

[oblique loom]

It is (I hate admitting) the first language I spoke and the language of my heritage.

And I don't know it

Lol

[daring jackal]

dang, you ever think about trying to learn it?

[oblique loom]

Actually yes! And failed tbh

[blazing granite]

I speak spanish among other languages

[oblique loom]

I failed Spanish in high school

Failed it again in an online course

[daring jackal]

spanish can be tough sometimes

[oblique loom]

But it's weird for someone like me, Hispanic American, half my family doesn't speak English just Spanish

[blazing granite]

verbs are a bitch 😂 like in any romance language

[daring jackal]

fr

[oblique loom]

I grew up around so often

And can't speak it

So strange

[blazing granite]

I speak English, Spanish, Hebrew, Italian, Arabic, a bit of French, Yiddish, Ladino, and Greek

[daring jackal]

speaking of languages what program language should i learn first💀

[oblique loom]

Python

[blazing granite]

Also a bit of Catalan too

[daring jackal]

gah damn man😂

[blazing granite]

I love languages 😂

[oblique loom]

Latin based languages makes sense, but others take skill

[daring jackal]

mf could insult anyone in multiple languages

[oblique loom]

I mean

Makes sense if you already speak a type

[blazing granite]

I understand latin, I learned it when I was a teenager

[oblique loom]

Exactly

Latin is root if you think about it

[daring jackal]

alright python it is lmao

[oblique loom]

You will love it

[finite granite]

It really is, as a Romanian I can understand 40% of latin by just existing

[blazing granite]

Also I can listen conversations pretending I don't understand what people are saying 😂

you would be surprise what people can say behind your back, when they think you don't understand

[daring jackal]

Honest to god with you thats the main reason why i tried to retain spanish is for this reason since its a common language in the U.S

[oblique loom]

It really is getting there

[blazing granite]

I just give them enough rope to hang theirselfs and then I answer them in the same language. I love that expresion in their faces nothing bit that 😂

[oblique loom]

I consider myself masters American English language speaker

Lol

[daring jackal]

also another reason why bilingual people make more money in some fields

[blazing granite]

I consider myself a citizen of the world 🙂

[oblique loom]

Solar system

[daring jackal]

I consider myself an expert in sailor language

[oblique loom]

[blazing granite]

give me a burrito con pico de gallo, kind of thing? 😂 😛

[oblique loom]

Depends on the part of South

Like, east TX people talk different than someone native to Sestern TX tbh

Western *

Even the coastal regions

TX can be it's own pokemon game. Not too bad! Lol

[daring jackal]

bro speaking of pokemon (kind of) my boss gave me one of those little retro game devices that have like thousands of retro games on it, no pokemon tho. i can upgrade it to have it which i probably will

[oblique loom]

[rapid merlin]

there is no urgency, if you get stuck mods can help

I'm taking a day off of work so that I can spend time on some boxes and the advent of Cyber. I need to continue to put time into this for my career advancement.

Tomorrow

[normal fable]

Ah.. The day that never comes...

[rapid merlin]

professional development day! awesome

[normal fable]

That was /s btw. lol

I am a sarcastic one.. not used to not knowing people not knowing me. lol

AoC is a good way to start on THM too. It's what got me into THM.

[rapid merlin]

nice

[fluid oar]

It's all good. I have told my self I need to spend more time on my discord communities to network and befriend other folks.

[normal fable]

That's a good way to do things and you are in the right place for that. Lots of talent and good people here.

[rapid merlin]

yes, it is really healthy to make efforts to be more social

[fluid oar]

I did my AoC like two years ago but I have severe ADHD which always leads me to other stuff or my back pain gets to bad

[normal fable]

I haven't done anything in AoC this year.. Haven't had any motivation.. and my mentals... not well. lol

[rapid merlin]

we do what we can, equally important to look after ourselves, actually even more important is our health

this is a really fun group of people, mixed with opportunity to grow 🙂

[twin ridge]

[dark frost]

The prefix "omni-" means "all" or "of all things"123. It is used in the formation of compound words, such as "omniscient" (all-knowing) or "omnipotent" (all-powerful)

that's cool

[arctic pebble]

Long time no speak in here - been hella burnt out of learning the last month

[prime quartz]

Could you tell me, can I stop my subscription for week or do kind of action?

[opaque flax]

what are you looking to do with stopping your subscription?

did you get monthly or annually?

[prime quartz]

Take a break

[prime quartz]

Monthly

[opaque flax]

you can cancel your monthly then you won't get billed the next month

[prime quartz]

For example:
I bought a subscription (monthly). To use it. Can I stop it before it ends and then activate it again and use the rest of it?

[fair lava]

You can cancel it to stop auto renewals and you will have all features until your billing period ends

[dense bane]

what are some good rooms to start with?

[opaque flax]

start with the paths

pre-security, cybersecurity 101, jr pen tester

[sick lance]

You can pause it, but I've never seen it, and it seems it's random members.

[opaque flax]

or check out the advent of cyber to start. it goes surface level on various cyber security topics and gives you walk throughs for each task

what are cybersecurity jobs like

i heard you have to write reports all day

[cloud quiver]

Check out this article 🙂

https://tryhackme.com/r/room/careersincyber

[wheat hare]

nice

[rapid merlin]

A lot of the jobs you have some writing

#iveneverdoneawriteup

😂

[wheat hare]

haha thats reassuring

[rapid merlin]

I should really start doing them

[wheat hare]

i mean i don't mind it

[rapid merlin]

It’s good to remember how you solved issues

I could easily make some with diagrams as I know how to use canva

[wheat hare]

yess

i use obsidian

[rapid merlin]

Obsidian is more of a notes program ain’t it

[wheat hare]

canva is good tho

[rapid merlin]

Can you add images to obsidian

[wheat hare]

yeah but it lets you link your thinking together

[rapid merlin]

Like a tree

[wheat hare]

oh yes you can, just like you'd add an image to a markdown

[wheat hare]

YES

it is soo good

like you can link a writeup to something you have studied before

[rapid merlin]

It looks pretty good

Are they shareable ?

On obsidian

[wheat hare]

i think so

it has a syncing issue tho

[rapid merlin]

👀

[wheat hare]

you need to pay for it to sync across devices

[rapid merlin]

Like from device to device

Ahhhh

I see

[wheat hare]

i do so using github

[rapid merlin]

Yeah

[sudden pond]

macn- you can use notion for saving notes

[rapid merlin]

My arms are aching from yesterdays weights

[graceful mauve]

yoo, hows everyone doing

[wheat hare]

I've tried notion

hi @graceful mauve

[sudden pond]

its better for sharing

[wheat hare]

yeah its probably good

[sick lance]

Notion is a good idea until you no longer have a connection.

[graceful mauve]

I heard notion is good, I just use obsidian for ease of use.

What are the pros and cons of each?

[wheat hare]

yeah same

[rapid merlin]

I didn’t like it much

[wheat hare]

Notion is like too much features for me

[sick lance]

Ah it's the age old debate of which note taking app is better. 😄

[spice dagger]

hi

[rapid merlin]

I don’t like the design

[wheat hare]

I just want to write

[graceful mauve]

I mainly just use spreadsheet ngl lol

[wheat hare]

good ol' excel

[graceful mauve]

if i'm notetaking, i don't really use something that has heaps of features unless it's actually worth it

[graceful mauve]

yea or LibreOffice calc

pretty much free excel 👌

[sick lance]

The best note taking app is redundant if you take crap notes. 😄

[graceful mauve]

I'm definitely guilty of that 😂

[wheat hare]

understandable 😁

[graceful mauve]

the trick is to take notes that you don't end up reading over

[wheat hare]

elaborate

[graceful mauve]

as in just having a bunch of folders and files in those folders because there's just so much information you want to note down, that it can become a bit overwhelming

[wheat hare]

oh right

[graceful mauve]

on another note, is it legal to create a discord which discusses exploit chains for educational purposes?

[sudden pond]

Take notes on a notebook

🙂

[graceful mauve]

lmao

[wheat hare]

it is difficult to structure them later

there is also no linking for sure

[sudden pond]

Take notes from them again and in this way you can make them cleaner 🙂

[wheat hare]

hehehe notes for notes

[sudden pond]

I used to write things on walls

lol

[wheat hare]

that's dedication

[graceful mauve]

Here's a hot topic.. Whats everyone's opinion on using AI? How would you use it and why?

[sudden pond]

[silver sky]

[rapid merlin]

Morning wideboi

[graceful mauve]

they are better note taking software than notepad I think lol

[sudden pond]

yup

I was talking about hard copy notes

[rapid merlin]

I use Obsidian.

[unreal solar]

On the matter of note taking, give it only the important stuff and have it organize for you in markdown.

[rapid merlin]

that works

idk, I wouldn't make it a point to rely on ChatGPT / Gemini to take good notes

gm stealth

[rapid merlin]

Yeah, I’ll do some more today

[graceful mauve]

yea this is what I use it for, it's also good at creating structures for different data formats

[rapid merlin]

Doing this doesn't help you at all, you've got learn how to take good notes on your own

[graceful mauve]

hard copies are good, if they're like flash cards or reminders

[silver sky]

Just remember to take adequate rest and protein.

Eventually, if you do decide to take the Pentesting / cybersecurity route, you'll more than likely need to be able to take good notes

[unreal solar]

I often loose a lot of time organizing my notes, that's where AI helps to save some time. From there, you just have to correct some stuff the AI might have messed up with.

[graceful mauve]

Yeah that's exactly how it should be used imo

it's also good to kickstart some coding projects

[unreal solar]

sure

[graceful mauve]

also good at giving me markdown for this discord server i'm making

not sure if it can handle creating great discord bots tho

[rapid merlin]

programming with ai is not always a good idea

[graceful mauve]

unless you know how to code

[rapid merlin]

if you can't read / understand the code, no point

and if you can actually code, AI will usually just make mistakes that take more time to fix

than doing it manually from hand

[graceful mauve]

i guess thats because it can only handle so much computational data to comprehend for one request

it's more efficient to get it to help you with certain functions in your code

[unreal solar]

Probably not

[rapid merlin]

If you can code, there is no reason other than laziness to have AI do it

[graceful mauve]

I think thats a little unjust when it comes to the repetitive tasks like creating the structure of your code

[rapid merlin]

huh?

[rapid merlin]

You can "structure" your code quite a few beautifiers, especially if you're on VSC

and even then, tab exists

and I don't think many people use space as an indentation

[glacial whale]

help quick, I want to copy content from browser to the windows vm of thm, copy paste isn't working

[rapid merlin]

Firefox based?

[glacial whale]

yes

[rapid merlin]

Swap to a chromium based, firefox is bugged for some reason

[graceful mauve]

like say if you have a coding idea right, a good project and you know the functions that are going to be included, and how the programs overall architecture is going to be. AI is pretty good at helping you create a mindmap for your psuedocode and give you methodologies to think more about so you can make your code better

[rapid merlin]

ungoogled-chromium would be my personal recommendation

[glacial whale]

might use safari

[graceful mauve]

english kinda not working atm but i think you understand

[rapid merlin]

Any competent developer is capable of planning a project, and how it's going to be, especially the roadmap for features

methodologies in coding vary from developer to developer

[graceful mauve]

exactly why people who copy chatgpt code get flagged. It uses similar methods

although you can take the good things from it and adapt it I believe

[rapid merlin]

They get flagged because the code is usually outdated or has plenty errors 💀

[graceful mauve]

as in, make it better so you learn new things

[graceful mauve]

ahhh

[rapid merlin]

That lesson can be taken away from just about anything, so it's not limited to ChatGPT, I don't know whether that was your intention or not

[graceful mauve]

thats just incompetence

[rapid merlin]

HUH

[graceful mauve]

this i mean

lol

[sick lance]

It's not bugged?

[rapid merlin]

ChatGPT takes code from places like Github, Gitlab

[rapid merlin]

When copy pasting on task 8 it is, I don't know whether there's a fix for it

I just know swapping to chromium fixes it

I assume it's some Firefox related error

[graceful mauve]

yeah this is true, it depends

[sick lance]

Firefox doesn't allow copy/paste from JavaScript by default.

It's not a bug.

[rapid merlin]

and morning Scrubz, how is you doing today

[sick lance]

It's intentional

[rapid merlin]

Oh

[cloud quiver]

Sup Sam , how are you today buddy 🙂 ?

[sudden pond]

doing great

thanks for asking @cloud quiver

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @cloud quiver (current: #7 - 1191)

[rapid merlin]

ChatGPT pulls code from Github, Gitlab and maybe a few other platforms, so any errors it gets is more so a reflection on the sources it pulls from

[cloud quiver]

Glad to hear that , have a nice day buddy 😄

[rapid merlin]

[dusky mica]

using virtualbox with kali

[rapid merlin]

What did I miss

[dusky mica]

i somehow deleted my message 😦 I have issues with my mouse and keyboard not showing in my VM

[graceful mauve]

Do you reckon we could make a metadata remover in ChatGPT rq?

[rapid merlin]

That’s odd

[graceful mauve]

Ima try it

[wraith harness]

Maeve, are your mouse and keyboard "stuck" within the VM and unable to escape? Is that the issue?

[dusky mica]

well i had that, but i managed to get that fixed now. I just keep getting notifications that my host wants to "capture??" my mouse? sorry if that translation doesn't make sense

i seem to have got my keyboard working again though by putting text in the clipboard.. maybe a reboot will just do it. Sorry for wasting y'alls time with my noob questions. Thx 🙂

[wraith harness]

Well, I'm not using oracle's vm, but supposedly there are 2 "X"s appearing on that notification. One of them is a "Crossed out" X that should permanently stop this notification

[sick lance]

Why would you need to?

[dusky mica]

yess i got that far, still get them tho

[sick lance]

Mouse/meyboard is captures is just letting you know it's using them.

[dusky mica]

lol, ok i think it just translates weird to my native language then 😂 Thx!!

[wraith harness]

Did some digging on oracle's forums and looks to me like there isn't another builtin method of suppressing this notification. You probably have to live with it 🙂

[ruby fog]

Hello , so i'm facing a problem right now , i don't feel my " rank" in Tryhackme is relative to my current skills , yes i have a bit of knowledge now about how things work and stuff but when i try in the practice room without " tryhackme " guide like hay check that hay check this i feel like a blind guy without his cane just waving his hand trying to find the sugar and maybe and maybe not he will stumble upon it until he asks " google" hay can you help me find this and then "google" with his eye sight that already have seen this sugar give it to him with no effort(Aka a walkthrough) so the blind guy aka me feels like am just waving my hand around without a system to relay on so i can really say yes i tried everything i know ( soooooo my question anyone can help or guide me here ?)

[cloud quiver]

It's perfrectly normal to use Google , I don't see anything wrong there 😄

[ruby fog]

by this i meant looking up the solution after i gave it everything i can think of

[cloud quiver]

This is also fine , especially when you're on beginning of your journey . Just make sure that you understand what you're reading and try to learn something new , don't just copy/paste payloads , that's a bad practice 😄

[ruby fog]

okay i read i understand , but me going into the next practice room and still don't have a system to think is my problem

[cloud quiver]

It will develop over time 🙂

[dusky mica]

well there’s worse things to live with, thanks for helping out 🙂

I'm not an authority by any stretch, but when I get frustrated with stuff or feel lost in a certain spot sometimes just going back to whatever I'm having trouble remembering and drilling through the intro rooms a few times until I've dedicated the "path" to memory helps me a lot.

[sick lance]

Gotta love the Xbox community.

Xbox teased "something little is coming" and everyone banged on a mini Xbox 360, or a handgeld getting their hopes up.

And it was a partnership with the darts player 😂

[rapid merlin]

LOOOOOOOOL

wouldn't both of those ideas cost several mil to develop, at least

[polar wraith]

@sick lance there are 2 rooms which redirect to the same url

same shit, different name ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rapid merlin]

#site-bugs

[sick lance]

#room-bugs 😄

[polar wraith]

o aight

[rapid merlin]

especially a handheld

that'd be idek how much to develop

and that wouldn't be "something little"

they'd shill it for months before releasing it o build up hype

[sick lance]

Could be a duplicate room, or one of the rooms that has a sub and free room.

[rapid merlin]

maybe

[mellow gull]

Remember when we used to have whole in-person conventions just for the release of a new phone?
Could see that happening if they went with a new handheld

[sick lance]

Stuff that, I'd rather it was mailed to me.

I want the device, not the interaction

[rapid merlin]

Doubtful Gaww

[split plover]

Hey hacker fellas?

[rapid merlin]

the security, renting the space out, hiring guards, cameras, the staff, event organization, prizes or wtv

[sick lance]

Depends if that was done in their shop, half the stuff would already be there.

[rapid merlin]

still

not worth it, way easier to setup an SEO campaign and buy a few months worth of yt ads

[mellow gull]

I mean I don't disagree, it's probably why they don't do that stuff anymore
Along with the digitalization of media - etc etc

[sick lance]

And you know, that pandemic.

[rapid merlin]

probably cheaper in the long run aswell

[rapid merlin]

Weren't conferences for releases gone a long time before COVID

[mellow gull]

Yeah the conferences stopped back in like

2010?

Maybe earlier?

[rapid merlin]

probably

idk

don't really recall it

[sick lance]

Could see that happening if they went with a new handheld

I was addressing that part.

[rapid merlin]

oh

[sick lance]

I remember when I got to Beta test half of the Tom Clancy games on Ps4.

[rapid merlin]

handheld wouldn't be worth it

[mellow gull]

Eh it hasn't stopped different, sweatier types of conventions from happening

[sick lance]

The game tile was "Classified content" so anybody who looked at my dashboard had no idea what it was.

[rapid merlin]

R6?

[mellow gull]

Man I used to feel like a real big guy doing some of those earlier closed access beta tests

[sick lance]

Yup.

And Wildlands, that MMO and a few others.

[sick lance]

Mine was done pre-beta 😄

Just before the alpha stage.

[mellow gull]

I won't knock it. Must've been fun

[hazy flume]

havent been here for a while, where is scrubz ?

[crystal mauve]

anyway to use thm on dark mode?

[shadow sphinx]

use darkreader theme/extention in your browser

[sick lance]

Soon:TM:

™️

[sick lance]

👋

[hazy flume]

hey how are you doing bro

i have some question that isnt regarded to a room

related to a room*

[shadow sphinx]

?

[boreal scarab]

About?

[sick lance]

Then you can ask 😄

[sick lance]

Dark mode will be released native to THM this month.

[hazy flume]

at my office i am using a debian based machine, and a windows host, both the host and the machine are on the same local network and subnet, and on bridgd adapter, and i cannot ping from the linux to the windows. however i can ping from the windows to the linux machine. i tried switching to NAT and it works however it changes the ip ranges to be unlikely the local network , why does it happen and how to fix connectiong between the two?

(its not icmp problem)

its been 2 days like this and im akward to ask my manager

[boreal scarab]

That's normal. Windows doesn't like to respond to pings by default

[shadow sphinx]

do we have rooms for cyber security developers ? coding rooms

[hazy flume]

solution?

[shadow sphinx]

go to firewall rules allow icmp

by defaults it's blocked

[hazy flume]

nobody allowed to touch firewall settings at work. i wanna make sure its firewall before i go to manager

i dont think it is

because i can ping to windows while on NAT

[shadow sphinx]

if u using Virtualbox use Bridged network mode and if it's WSL go talk to manger and do changes in firewall.

[hazy flume]

i think during work while pasting tons of chatgpt commands for the project i might have blocked connections from the VM to the host

[shadow sphinx]

use bridged mode, thank me latter

[hazy flume]

ok i will ask manager tomorrow

[shadow sphinx]

sure!

[shadow sphinx]

?

any suggestion ...

[boreal scarab]

That I don't know. @sick lance Do you know of any info sec dev rooms on THM?

[sick lance]

There is 0

[shadow sphinx]

thanks

[sick lance]

Wow, worst decision..

[hazy flume]

yea scrubz was waiting for you lol

what do you say

i can ping on NAT but not on bridged while need to be on bridged most of the time

[shadow sphinx]

😆

[hazy flume]

to clarify, the host has two ip addreses one for cable internet and one for the wifi, both are not pingable from the machine that is on the network

[shut hawk]

https://tryhackme.com/r/room/securesdlc Specifically task 6

[sick lance]

Re read what Matt said

[shadow sphinx]

finally i have jayy, thanks

[shut hawk]

np :)

[rapid merlin]

im just curious, would a similiar WPA (similiar to AOC day 11) wifi attack work on my own modern day home router, and if so, is it legal to do it on your own home router.

[hazy flume]

if not wpa3 its possible

[graceful mauve]

Just out of curiosity. It's doing alright, integrated exiftool into the script with some python modules for changing the files properties to a random character set. Although the idea has been having a few errors in the python code

[shut hawk]

Most routers will have fairly well generated passwords, so most likely not

[hazy flume]

if not wpa3 is possible

[boreal scarab]

WPA3, no, 2, yes. And Grey area (I didn't do AOC 11, so not sure what that entails, but if it's deauth, statement still stands)

[hazy flume]

what about a WPA3 room?

[shut hawk]

There are WPA3 Dragonblood vulnerabilities, but it's a lot harder than WPA2

[rapid merlin]

so would it still techinically work if its has a simple password, like theres nothing blocking me intercepting the 4 way handshake or rate limiting the brute forcing of the password

[shadow sphinx]

Well, all gods here. I heard a rumor from one of my friends who said he came across something on the darknet claiming that Discord has a vulnerability where, if you join any video or audio room, it can access your screen and audio without screen sharing. Is this true?

[hazy flume]

i kinda lost motivation to learn on the websitesince i got the job its not good

[shut hawk]

No.

[shut hawk]

If you're able to get the handshake, then you can get the hash to crack

[rapid merlin]

ohh thank you, i will figure it out on my home router one day :D

All ik is someone has RDP'd in and started enumerating

see i'm not pro, but when i took RDP of PC1 to PC2, i got logged out from PC1

i think when someone will do the RDP thing u will know ... correct me if i'm wrong i'm not a windows user.

jayy or kgb

is it possible to take RDP in windows using powersell in background mode ?

@orchid skiff

i'm curious

[shut hawk]

only one RDP session is allowed iirc

while Microsoft server allows 2

[shadow sphinx]

cool then i can use windows pc again it seems safe, not like linux where multiple RDP allowed for same user.

[grizzled wing]

you can start again

[rapid merlin]

I think you may just need to start again

😦 sorry

[grizzled wing]

the streak is just for incentive, not to be a stressor in life

if you want one of the streak badges, i can share with you

[tardy finch]

Tldr this happened before I had a 90 day streak. I decided to keep a religious holiday for the sabbath and I lost my streak bc of it. Also I kept a jewish holidays for 3 days where I can't touch tech at all during that time and I lost it again then.

[grizzled wing]

yea, the Shabbat rules, too bad you can't make a bot to help you

[tardy finch]

I'm wondering if I can ask an admin or mod to work with me and if I have streak right before the holidays to freeze it assuming I have a streak right before the holidays

I can't get more than a 3 month streak bc of it

[grizzled wing]

they will say the 7 days gives you 1 streak freeze

[tardy finch]

What do you mean

[tardy finch]

Please explain this

[grizzled wing]

every 7 days gives you 1 streak freeze, which does not really help you in your case as every weekend you need a freeze on your streak

you might get help, just i know that is what they will first say

[vagrant kraken]

do we need SQL for CyberSEC?

[grizzled wing]

SQL basics will help you

[vagrant kraken]

nothing I am learnign Coursera and there is a lesson about SQL

[tardy finch]

I typically manage the weekend issue by doing it right before sabbath starts and then right after it ends. Issue is it's typically a 25 hour period so I for sure miss a full day and use up my streak freeze . My issue is longer jewish holidays which can be 2-3 days of no tech at all .... I don't think they have week long freezes or 3 days freezes like that .

[grizzled wing]

i assume you are pulling data from a database, so yes, SQL is used in every industry

[vagrant kraken]

Not at the moment, but future wise maybe.

[grizzled wing]

THM has a room on SQL injection

[vagrant kraken]

Thank you all appreciate it!

mainly reading logs I will be doing

yes I monitor Soc L1

[grizzled wing]

yea, streak freeze for that long is an issue

[vagrant kraken]

i might need SQL to create some reports for my boss

[tardy finch]

I've been on tryhackme for 3 years now. Never gotten past 90 day streak because of this. I'm also not comprising my values for my streak.

no, that's the entire point of a VM

[finite granite]

Tought so, just heard a lot of (non professional) guys telling me otherwise

[devout palm]

Yes

[graceful mauve]

how do you keep it secure and not escaping to your host tho?

[devout palm]

It is called sandbox evasion

[shadow sphinx]

i have a serious question cuase you are expert in Buffur overflow.. may i ask ?

[mellow gull]

oh, might be corrected

[finite granite]

:)))

[sick lance]

It's not too common.

[mellow gull]

learn something new every day!

[graceful mauve]

wdym?

[devout palm]

It's very rare and mostly vulnerabilities in the sandboxing application

Or hypervisor

[rose tusk]

malware can escape containers, but malware can also not load if it's in a container 🙂

[finite granite]

Wait, you were not joking lol, just googled it. Thanks

[graceful mauve]

okay, thats the only reason why I don't run malware in vm's atm.. I'm unsure if they will escape to my host machine, cause they can be pretty nifty

[devout palm]

I am not an expert but sure

[graceful mauve]

cause even though it's rare, it's good to know how to get around that

[rose tusk]

smarter meoware implements sandbox checking to see if it runs in any container and if yes it just shuts itself down or does "what is supposed to do"

[heavy storm]

sandbox evasion is when malware detects it's running in a VM environment and doesn't execute it's payload

[devout palm]

To get rid of analysts

[mellow gull]

Ahhh so it's not an actual escape method. It's just a detection/dc method

[daring jackal]

morning guys how is everyone

[rose tusk]

and analysis 🙂

[heavy storm]

Malware can escape the VM if the virtualization platform has a vm escape vulnerability

[mellow gull]

The only way to win the game is to not play, basically

[boreal scarab]

Hrm... do I work on my server today, or nah...

[finite granite]

You do, and you are going to do amazing !

[boreal scarab]

Do need to get 2 SSD's though

[feral abyss]

put Proxmox on your server dangit! 😛

[devout palm]

And if they manage to escape my VMs i am happy to be a victim

Haha

[heavy storm]

But yeah, very rare

[graceful mauve]

if it's a sandbox escape, wouldn't it mostly involve a side channel attack or zero-day you reckon?

[boreal scarab]

Oh. That's the plan. Proxmox as host, then have Wazuh and OPNSense running on it. OPNSense is going to be a bit of a PITA, I can sense it

https://tenor.com/view/what-can-i-say-anybody-hello-say-what-gif-21564341

[feral abyss]

Definitely, I attempted it last year. Gonna give it a go again soon, but I have other stuff I'm situating for now

[boreal scarab]

I need coffee STAT then!

[rapid merlin]

I met a business owner once who believed letting random Internet hackers into his systems was a good thing, as they would maintain them for free, patching, good uptime etc.

[finite granite]

Is there like any website that can be trusted regarding news and development in this field? I was just resarching this escaping VM thing and I keep finding conflicting infortmation lolz

[shadow sphinx]

I was learning some reverse engineering and used Cheat Engine. When I modified my player name with some fancy emojis and pictures in the game’s memory, it crashed. Now, whenever I restart the game, it crashes again. well when i modifed values in ram why after cool shutdown it's still crashing is it kind of Status stack Buffer Overrun? how i can fix it from my side cause now i have tried to revert the values but it's not working. @devout palm

[finite granite]

I need coffee STAT to run background processes and they still fail

[boreal scarab]

Think that Thinkserver RS160 only has 32 GB of ram, but the other 2 slots are open, just... doesn't wanna work reee

Nothing special for the m.2, just basic 256 GB drive (max the server supports) then 2 SSD/HDD slots... and max size for SSD is 1 TB.

Still hate they set a a limit

Please share your input so I can report this to the game developers. It’s a cool bug in the game’s latest release since it allows me to change anyone’s values this way.

[mellow gull]

It'd have to be, wouldn't it? Maybe getting a return from the host machine somehow? Evasion usually seems to consist of malware just not running when it detects that it's in a VM, but maybe if there was an intentionally written script for when that's the response? Usually methodology would involve forcibly crashing the sandbox, so maybe injecting into the crash response?

[shadow sphinx]

Any one

[half badge]

What's the age requirement for thm?

[rapid merlin]

I just saw a video on old armor, did military clothes get less and less protective.

[mellow gull]

Usually games have a set of symbols that are a part of its alphabet. Similar to how you can inject html into poorly written websites when you use text fields, you can also inject other forms of codes into certain games as well that can cause problems with save recovery or startup.

[sick lance]

0day.

And nobody is gonna burn that one a random

[rapid merlin]

very true

[mellow gull]

When you put in an emoji it isn't an image, it's a codebase based on ASCII(usually but not always), and sometimes that can cause problems.

[rapid merlin]

0day hoarding could be a TV series 😄

[shadow sphinx]

but it's not limited to my side , the values modified are stored in server, even after game reload it still crashing.

[heavy storm]

APT group type beat

[mellow gull]

Was it saved onto a cloud server? Like a steam game?

[devout palm]

I don't talk about game hacking here but it can be that the modified data was saved in the game files

[finite granite]

Aren't they unicode?

[half badge]

Why does nb answer

[mellow gull]

There's a couple codebases for emojis, unicode is one of them

[shadow sphinx]

no let's say it's on local server

so if values i can modify on my ram on run time , stored in server, and on next run game crashes it's an issue

i'm going to report that.

[shadow sphinx]

ok

[heavy storm]

thm no age limit, discord 13+

[mellow gull]

That just means that during the startup process (or the save pull process) the raw data for the emoji causes a failure, probably as a result of failure to recall.

[graceful mauve]

Speaking from my inexperience with virtual/sandbox escape, I would say the malware would try to escape based on timing really. It would wait for you to make a mistake such as connect to an internet source they can compromise or find a clipboard exploit if you enable clipboard, or wait for you to open a shared folder and then have an automated script to deal with that.

[finite granite]

What was the question?

[half badge]

Ty (I know abt discord 😭)

Gave +1 Rep to @heavy storm (current: #1228 - 3)

Thm age limit

[rapid merlin]

I believe the armor changed with the weapons used

[half badge]

Htb is 18+

[finite granite]

I think its 16+ for receiving the rewards on the advent. Otherwise I dont really remember seeing any age limit

[half badge]

Tyy

[mellow gull]

If you're enabling clipboard connection between your main machine and your sandbox - that you're using specifically to analyze malware, you're the weak link in that chain, not the VM

[sick lance]

There is none, however if you're younger than 13 you need a parent/guardian permission for a sub

[half badge]

I'm 16+

[sick lance]

That's fine.

[half badge]

(why did I specifically say 16+ 😭)

[shadow sphinx]

I suspect the crash occurs because, when the game fetches profile details, it tries to load the large files or data I inserted. This might overwhelm the RAM and cause a stack buffer overrun condition.

[sick lance]

No idea.

[rapid merlin]

because your age can be a floating point value 🙂

[graceful mauve]

and that's exactly why attackers go for the low hanging fruit

[half badge]

Lmfao

Us IT majors

[devout palm]

It's mostly deserializing issues

[daring jackal]

guys

is it worth going to college for penetration testing or should i focus on comptia+ certifications

[crystal mauve]

Why wouldn't u go to college if you're able to

[shadow sphinx]

How can they prevent it? Any suggestions? I will note them down under the 'Suggestions/Recommendations' section in my report.

[finite granite]

Its expensive :)))

[rapid merlin]

why do people pronounce it SOK instead of S-O-C where does the K even come from? It's "center" not "candy" me no understand

[sick lance]

You're doing a report?

[rapid merlin]

isn't the correct pronunciation S-O-C?

[shadow sphinx]

yes

[sick lance]

Then we can't help

[mellow gull]

His game keeps crashing on startup cause he put emojis into his user name

[shadow sphinx]

ok

[daring jackal]

cause it might not be what i need so im asking for input

[heavy storm]

you should probs just reinstall the game if you have corrupted the files blasting it with cheat engine

[sick lance]

Think of sock.

[tardy finch]

If you are having problems financially going to college and are doing comptia certifications anyway I'd highly recommend wester governors university. There curriculum is very comptia based , you can work at your own pace and tuition is so low most government college aid funds pay for it.

[tardy finch]

Western governors university has 5 or 6 comptia certs as part of the curriculum

[crystal mauve]

Does your family/financials/life situation allow you to ?

[daring jackal]

i would go into debt

[rapid merlin]

They just couldn’t be asked to think of something affective

[daring jackal]

so if im gonna go into debt i want it to be worth it you know?

[shadow sphinx]

Not working, even with just another player id i can make same condition for other users, permanent crash after install reinstall.

[tardy finch]

I just applied to western governors and government is paying for it. I'm not paying a cent or going into debt for it

[daring jackal]

ah ok thank you Ill def look into it!

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @tardy finch (current: #241 - 27)

[mellow gull]

to add onto Strive's suggestion, ASU's cyber security bootcamp is relatively informative and tuition isn't that bad, and scholarships are pretty easy to come by.

[crystal mauve]

Going into debt is part of being a grown up, my house is worth a million dollars but I owe 500k on it

[shadow sphinx]

Signing off to report it. Thanks, everyone, for your suggestions!

[tardy finch]

Bootcamps have nothing to show unless it's from a very large well known organization or offers major industry recognized certs. Most bootcamps are a scam IMHO

[sick lance]

Going forward please don't ask in here again for report work

[crystal mauve]

I think a lot of people shit on college degrees but can't really shit on the time allotted to growth

[daring jackal]

well thats different than student debt and your house is a million dollars so its kind of hard to pay for that out of pocket. I dont have a stable job yet

[crystal mauve]

And time available for it

[mellow gull]

I agree, I didn't point it out for nothing. It's compTIA partnered and one of the top campuses in the country. It's totally understandable to be skeptical and careful with your choices though.

[tardy finch]

Bro sky find a online tech college which is really cheap and get government grants to pay for it. You won't need to spend a cent on it

[sick lance]

Yes..

[daring jackal]

awesome imma look into both of these

[tardy finch]

I have been working on this degree for only 2 months now. I'm about 20-30 %done with it already

[atomic summit]

Feeling Sorry for you guys 😗

[tardy finch]

Bc of my tryhackme experience I was able to test out of alot of classes

[rapid merlin]

Uni / College degree is only gonna help u get what u hackers call the "initial foothold " a.k.a the pass from the hiring department to go and do an interview with the boiz. Once ure in the interview no degree is going to help u it's a battle royal in there, u need skills . So basically skill > degree and degree good only if it's from known unis / colleges which cost a fortune
