[heady parrot]

[silver sky]

Dude, there's plenty of jobs in the army where you need to be inteligent. Like inteligence for example!

Or Signals Reg or got forbid the REME lot.

Even in Infantry there's smart people, and lots of dumb people.

Don't knock it, unless you've tried it

[heady parrot]

i could have take further maths since i can take 4 lesson but no point

[nocturne sinew]

I did Computing, Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
in the early '00s

[heady parrot]

yea i know

i dont say people in army stupid

i have bad examples

thats it

[heady parrot]

solid

i didnt get any good on computer

@silver sky speaking of military. I am kinda considering joining the NG if I can get a job in Cyber. I have friends in the NG or reserves suggesting it as I would get a clearance and training

[heady parrot]

yea i am pretty much qualify for that

[nocturne sinew]

Go apply in the new year then 😛

£25k starting salary.

[heady parrot]

[nocturne sinew]

There's another option too. Firefighter. Solid career. Respected, decent pay.

[mossy river]

Let me guess- you are Turkish? 😄

[silver sky]

Plus because you'll live in military housing, your rent is fuck all, so you'll have loads of cash to spare to get pissed every weekend with

[heady parrot]

oh yea ur genius

[opaque flax]

what a bout a challenger at 25% apr

[mossy river]

Haha

[nocturne sinew]

every squaddie i know parties hard every weekend 😄

[exotic vector]

I feel old now xD

[glass nest]

Ok. I'm getting a picture now. You are still in school, therefore you can't really apply for a 'Big job', as they will likekly need you to work monday-friday 9-5. So your options are businesses that are open in the evenings and weekends. There are some edge cases, but likely you'd already have to know someone there and have skillz etc.

The jobs you will be looking at WILL be paying minimum wage, and they will most likely be doing the 'grunt work'. That being said, I made some of my best mates while working in the ice-rink. Once Iyou finish school and have some sort of grades, more doors will open: Find something entry-level, head to uni, start something yourself, join the military - whatever.

You don't WANT to do these jobs that you consider 'below' you, or think that it should be paid more. Well, you're not in a position to make that call, and don't really have anything to compare it to in any case.
The main advice I can give, and I hate to say stuff like this but: Suck it up, buttercup. Get out there with a realistic expectation. Amend your CV, and take out anything not relevant. Ask at places if they have any weekend jobs.

[silver sky]

Not normally a popular choice in the UK

[opaque flax]

whats the uk recruit bad car at 25% apr choice

[nocturne sinew]

my GCSE IT was hilarious. I got a* at exam, but D for coursework because nobody understood what i'd done.
my final project was a database for a doctor's surgery... in VB6 and Access backend
but i didn't like the password storage, so i implemented MD5 in VB, and nobody could figure out what it did

even though it was perfectly documented.

[heady parrot]

anyways my gsce is not terrible

could have been better

[mossy river]

Ahh, my IT course was interesting.

I was forced onto IT because I was very good at Computer Science and my teacher wanted to bump the average grades for my course.

I then spent a whole year learning about user interfaces only to create a system for a stadium in Microsoft PowerPoint.

[exotic vector]

When I was in secondary school our IT class was.....basic

[sand trench]

that does not help with the joke

the joke is funny

[heady parrot]

my computer science teacher is just yapping when i do gsce

ngl i hate buble sorting and shit

[rapid merlin]

loved it

[heady parrot]

thats why i got low

[nocturne sinew]

i nearly got thrown out of 6th form for discovering vulnerabilities in the school IT system 😄

[mossy river]

I was allowed to literally do whatever I wanted to during Computer Science lessons because they assumed I knew everything already

[heady parrot]

It spends all its time crooning over all the swaps it could've made.

[heady parrot]

[strange zenith]

What did you end up doing in the lessons?

[mossy river]

Ahahah, I reported a lot of vulnerabilities to the point where compsci teachers weren't allowed to install basic software for classes because I always found a way to misuse it.

ATP I didn't know about pentesting or tryhackme, I just thought it was fun

[nocturne sinew]

the reward was not getting yeeted after i told them how to fix it.

[heady parrot]

[strange zenith]

Go to work also usually the teachers severly overestimated how long it took for stuff so you could speedrun then just chill

[heady parrot]

failed every single subject plus no social life

[hexed frost]

Hey hey!

[opaque flax]

the military is one of the best places to learn practical skills on the governments dime

[glass nest]

ok, but why do you waste energy in hating them? They aren't affecting you.

[strange zenith]

What kind of skills?

[heady parrot]

yea maybe but i dont think so they are gonna change hopeless to any decent people

How do I verify?

Why?

[heady parrot]

betetr jobs

[mossy river]

Pay attention in lectures, do mock exams everyday, practice what you learn after the lesson, take notes, teachers are there to help you use their knowledge ask questions, study, use flashcards, practice things you don't understand

[heady parrot]

plus better education

[shut hawk]

what is your source for that

[grizzled wing]

fun times

[silver sky]

No one cares what university you went to

[glass nest]

Damn. you should spend time just being a kid.

[rapid merlin]

Unless it's Harvard or a countries equivalant

[heady parrot]

yea i look like 30 years old dude

[silver sky]

Russell groups don't deliver better education

[heady parrot]

stress is intens

[glass nest]

Me too, Kid. But i'm over 40, so it's ok

[rapid merlin]

Lecturers just read from the presentations, the content is barely cybersec (although I'm pretty sure they're changing it now), the assignments are always full of vague requirements or typos and there just feels like a lack of engagement for higher education.

I wouldn't care if I wasn't paying for the education

[strange zenith]

Ooof yeah uk uni price is sooooo high

[heady parrot]

yea it is understanble

thats why i wanna go oxford

you're not too dumb

you may jsut be inexperienced

theres resources to help you

[surreal void]

^^

[opaque flax]

like the walkthrough videos. you should really be using the walkthrough videos

[surreal void]

and echo

[opaque flax]

i actually havent tried echo yet

[heady parrot]

yea i could check them out but i probably wont able to keep up with everyone

[opaque flax]

why do you keep worrying about everyone else

stop. just worry about you

and learning

and getting better

[surreal void]

also taking side notes as flash cards to keep my memory up to par

[mellow gull]

It isn't a competition. The goal is to learn new things and add more tools to your belt.

[heady parrot]

yea i have issues

[opaque flax]

advent of cyber is open forevernow

you can always go back and do it

[heady parrot]

yea it is very usefull

[heady parrot]

and idk

[surreal void]

im just catching up so i can get the cert! i want to hold myself accountable its the perfect end of the year goal for me

[rapid merlin]

I secretly want to make a resume/CV which is just failures 🙂

[neon mango]

guys help.
I have a trojan on my phone

[mellow gull]

Also if someone could help me test something that'd be great. I'm using a chromium browser (windows) and my memory/CPU usage on the 2023 AoC room spiked so high I faced a couple browser crashes and websyncing took several minutes sometimes. I just want to see if it's a consistent problem for other people.

[heady parrot]

no probably u dont have it

[opaque flax]

you're not expected to know how to do AoC if you just started it/. it's for beginners. it's targeted at beginners. thats why they showcase walkthrough videos

[silver sky]

What makes you think that?

[surreal void]

in order to get the certification we must complete before the 31st correct?

[shut hawk]

I keep thinking, "huh never knew you could get a D*" and then realise it means distinction

[heady parrot]

lol

bro it is soo hard

[neon mango]

I scanned my phone, checked for sure with another antivirus and i found a file named TROJ_FRS.VSNTJB24

[silver sky]

https://tenor.com/view/goggins-david-goggins-work-get-back-to-work-back-to-work-gif-27698662

[mossy river]

Pfft, typical A-Levels student 👹

[heady parrot]

true

[silver sky]

Then you probably should use said antivirus to remove it

[surreal void]

bump

[mossy river]

For AOC? No, you can complete it anytime

[silver sky]

Also, TROJ_FRS.VSNTJB24 is for windows not mobile devices.

So I'm calling cap

[heady parrot]

it may be not virus

[neon mango]

The problem is I am smart enough to find a virus but too dumb to use the antivirus I got

[surreal void]

wow really? i was misinformed thank you

[heady parrot]

yea thats what i check lol

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @mossy river (current: #6 - 1389)

[neon mango]

dude.
I swear I have no idea what the hell is this

[mossy river]

As far as I am aware, yes- this is how it worked for past AoC's

[silver sky]

Platform: Windows

Not mobile

[opaque flax]

im gonna say one last thing then I am done with conversation@heady parrot you need to stop making excuses for everything and learn things as your name suggests and then fail and then learn and fail and learn and fail and keep learning instead of making an excuse that everything is hard and i am not gonna do it

[neon mango]

oh

[surreal void]

i think i just misunderstood, i think the 311st deadline is for raffle entries

[neon mango]

then how I got that file on my phone lol?

[heady parrot]

yea thats why i am still trying in life

[heady parrot]

lol

[neon mango]

I am 100% confused about this now

[silver sky]

Either your lying or you've downloaded something for windows onto your phone or the antivirus you've downloaded is crap

What antivirus is it?

[mossy river]

Not necessarily, the signature could just be that of the one on Windows

[wooden totem]

Yeah, I think imma need a career advisor or something, didn't even know that existed till now. I got offered free education and free living, but idk where to apply that

[heady parrot]

dam

is is it charity

[neon mango]

It's VirusTotal and for now it actually found a real virus on my phone once that I got rid of already

also why would I lie about having a virus

[wooden totem]

Family + country benefits

[boreal scarab]

Hypatia, and Eset. Thank me later lol

[lusty solar]

Can anyone recomend a solid VPN?

[heady parrot]

oh ok

[silver sky]

Ok and what antivirus is detecting this file? And what file is it?

[heady parrot]

uu have to pay

[boreal scarab]

Mullvad VPN, Proton VPN, IVPN

[silver sky]

Proton VPN

[boreal scarab]

Only ones we really reccomend here

[lusty solar]

Sweet. I use Proton mail

[opaque flax]

proton vpn has a free version too

[neon mango]

I'm not sure if I understood the question properly

[opaque flax]

if you pay for proton mail you won't necessarily get proton vpn

[boreal scarab]

And if we heat someone say "I use NordVPN" we go on a witching hour

[lusty solar]

Lol

[boreal scarab]

[opaque flax]

tunnel bear

[heady parrot]

nordvpn good but expensive

[loud marlin]

proton is ok ?

[silver sky]

Virustotal will tell you what antivirus engine is detecting the file.

[boreal scarab]

We go on a "burn at the stake hour"

[neon mango]

oh

it is

TrendMicro

[boreal scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/bender-futurama-laugh-sarcastic-fun-gif-12163274

[silver sky]

Is it only trendmicro?

[heady parrot]

is it bad

[mossy river]

I'm assuming all of the AV said nothing but TrendMicro said there was a virus? Likely a false positive

[heady parrot]

ngl i use free

web extension

it is enough for me

[silver sky]

If it's free, then you are the product

[lusty solar]

I hate the fact I use gmail fomr most everything.

[heady parrot]

pretty much

[boreal scarab]

Nord gets pushed too much, if you like privacy, qns you not becoming the product. Stay away from them

I say, go Proton, mullvad, or Ivpn

[neon mango]

also another one that is just having -Housecall after this

[silver sky]

Housecall is TrendMicro

[heady parrot]

ngl i dont have kinda money to spend on vpn

[loud marlin]

nothing is free. just rain, sun and when some slap you face for free

[neon mango]

then only this one

[heady parrot]

yea thats why free vpn exsit

[onyx coral]

December 24th, the dark theme is still not released 🫠

[boreal scarab]

Proton is still solid

[mellow gull]

Almost guaranteed to be a false positive then.

[heady parrot]

idk how adblock are free and vpns

i wonder what they sell

probably my data

[loud marlin]

if you are ok to show you data when on free VPN...

[boreal scarab]

Your info

[silver sky]

Likely a false positive, download an actual antivirus for your phone if your that worried.

And download apps from playstore. Simple as

[neon mango]

okay, I will trust your words then

[heady parrot]

yea maybe

but at least i dont pay

[silver sky]

Bitdefender Antivirus Free is a good choice for android @neon mango

[boreal scarab]

If you run Android, I quite like Eset and even Hypatia

[neon mango]

welp since my problem got solved thanks

[heady parrot]

i use veepn

[neon mango]

gonna test it

[boreal scarab]

You use.... what?

[heady parrot]

i am not even joking

[silver sky]

[heady parrot]

veepn i use bc it is free

[shut hawk]

I'd suggest cloudflare warp

oh shit yea but still free

[mellow gull]

[rapid merlin]

there's a reason it's free LOL

[mellow gull]

Have some self respect

[rapid merlin]

If a product is free, it's usually cause your the product

[heady parrot]

yea like honey

xd

[loud marlin]

you are weird... idk how stupid is using free vpn, but aint smart

[boreal scarab]

Lets dive into that permissions, 1 sec

[heady parrot]

İT CHANGES THE İP

[rapid merlin]

yeah make an entire list LOOL

[heady parrot]

i check

[rapid merlin]

using free vpns is just a horrendous idea

[loud marlin]

which is no popint if they have all you data

first call of 3 letter agenci and they have all what you did

[heady parrot]

uh some sites are not accses able

[boreal scarab]

https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/541600/

40 permissions

40

[heady parrot]

all vpns gonna give 3 letter agenci data

[loud marlin]

mullvad will not. as he didnt

[silver sky]

They collect IMEI numbers

[rapid merlin]

LOOOOOOOOOOOL

[silver sky]

"No Logs" but we get your IMEI number

[heady parrot]

holly fuck

thats thats bad

[boreal scarab]

Brother. You're the SOLE product

[heady parrot]

but still free

[boreal scarab]

NO

[silver sky]

"collect only the Wi-Fi name (Service Set Identifier), Wi-Fi status, OS version, device type, model ("Technical Information") and IMEI details"

[heady parrot]

what are they gonna do with IMEI

[surreal void]

cant do much with a imei

[rapid merlin]

Screenshotted it before I could

[surreal void]

if anything but see if its blacklisted

[loud marlin]

unique as for start

[silver sky]

I dunno, it's not like it's your phones unique ID

[sand trench]

wait you people are getting slapped for free????

[atomic yarrow]

Hi

[heady parrot]

PROBABLY SELL TO china for fake phones lol

[silver sky]

that your mobile network will know who owns it

[loud marlin]

huh... you do not ? strange

[silver sky]

They don't need that

[sand trench]

yeah they slap shadow and then demand money or sue shadow in court

[silver sky]

They can just make IMEI numbers

[loud marlin]

IMEI and so things are unique per device. every device is trckable in that case

[heady parrot]

realy i though they need for iphones

[heady parrot]

oh ok

[loud marlin]

wooow. ppl are weird... i get for free... shadow need move to my country then

[surreal void]

youre not getting tracked by a IMEI lol

[heady parrot]

they cant accses image

[rapid merlin]

it's why disposable flip phones are honestly not a bad idea to get

LOl

[heady parrot]

yea it is just phone stuff

[loud marlin]

yes they can

[heady parrot]

if it legit or not

[silver sky]

They literally can

[sand trench]

welp gotta be up early today... so time for sleep sloop to the beep boop for the meep moop

[mellow gull]

[surreal void]

[boreal scarab]

Lets look at a REAL VPN

https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/536784/

[heady parrot]

yea but what they are gonna do with my images

[surreal void]

people use IMEI to identify the phone carrier

[rapid merlin]

check mullvad

[heady parrot]

still 11

[loud marlin]

it is point of privacy. not your images for a start

[boreal scarab]

On it

[rapid merlin]

just did

[mellow gull]

IMEI is your phone's unique address and what a service carrier uses to continue or deny service. It can also be used to track a phone's location when it has location services activated, since the IMEI is part of it's metadata.

[silver sky]

And then law enforcement can ID the user of the phone

[boreal scarab]

11 permissions that it absolutely needs, nothing suspicious in what it needs

[loud marlin]

11 that is needed to vpn work as vpn need to work

[heady parrot]

yea only my concern is 22 pounds on my bank

lol

[surreal void]

they track you from cell tower pins lmaooo

most phones use esim

apple doesnt work with the feds

[heady parrot]

yea true how they will able to change wifi

lol

[loud marlin]

m8... why you push door when says pull...

[boreal scarab]

https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/538272/

[rapid merlin]

^ Mullvad

[silver sky]

But your mobile operater probably will

[loud marlin]

it encrypts data... not change wifi

[surreal void]

imei is to identify your carrier lock or if the phone is blacklisted or reported stolen

[heady parrot]

yea true sorry

[boreal scarab]

Look at that. Both Proton and Mullvad don't need 40 ducking permissions to function... or 10 trackers to track you

[night prairie]

💪

not free tho

[surreal void]

of course, i thought you where talking about a unethical exploit

[heady parrot]

im gonna look into backing up winscp and putty connections tomorrow, apparantly they store everything in the registry instead of a file so I'll need to research it further

John is so busy he forgot about christmas

[heady parrot]

yo

uhg ugys

guys

[loud marlin]

ha ?

[heady parrot]

guys i have been using these for so long

is this safe

many people say no

oh i realz i leak my ip

[granite narwhal]

How do u know vpn is safe or not

[heady parrot]

i am dumb

[heady parrot]

i preetty much dont know

[loud marlin]

the free vpn ?

[heady parrot]

yea

[loud marlin]

well is not safe as purpose of vpn need to be

[heady parrot]

yea true

[rugged kayak]

this is just to test if vpn is working

[granite narwhal]

also secure

[heady parrot]

what u think about this

[granite narwhal]

Search and know about ur ip

[heady parrot]

yea it is not great probably

[rugged kayak]

its not about just changing your ip

you connect to third party server that you dont know nothing about and all of your traffic is in their hands

[heady parrot]

yea true

[granite narwhal]

So how to know my vpn is not secure

[rugged kayak]

you cant

you either trust your vpn provider or you dont

you can always selfhost tho

[heady parrot]

i trust mine

[rugged kayak]

what do you even need vpn for

if you are not trying to access some geo restricted content its kinda pointless

[heady parrot]

to leak my dates pretty much idk kto

i have no idea why

[rapid merlin]

With that many tabs open you have bigger problems than your VPN provider

[heady parrot]

i need those tabs

[rugged kayak]

i would say you are better of without vpn that with using some shady stuff

[heady parrot]

yea

i jsut need for some of them

[granite narwhal]

Vpn is not secure

How to know

[rugged kayak]

i already told you you cant

[rapid merlin]

Host your own VPN 🙂

[rugged kayak]

try to find user reviews

[rugged kayak]

+1

[placid lagoon]

I would never trust a free vpn. If the product is free, usually you are the product.

[rugged kayak]

also true

[obtuse brook]

there's more risk than just leaking your IP with a free VPN, you may be unwittingly turning your pc into part of a botnet

There's also the issue that while your ISP may not be able to track you, the VPN provider certainly can

[silver sky]

https://tenor.com/view/punisher-no-no-no-tanklorde-gif-25785566

[rapid merlin]

Being an exit node is fun

[obtuse brook]

I've heard good things about mullvad, allegedly they don't store any traffic data. Proton is probably a decent choice as well.
I have ExpressVPN, which I don't necessarily trust but I got a lifetime sub like $20 a few years back and it fits the bill for about 85% of my "I'd like to use a VPN" use cases

[worn thorn]

you're effectively just changing who you trust with your traffic.

[rugged kayak]

mullvad was raided few times and they didnt find any user data so its probably the best one in terms of privacy

[small badge]

What vpn would yall recommend then

[silver sky]

proton

[worn thorn]

proton too

[small badge]

Really?

[rapid merlin]

using a hidden service to access a sshd can be useful as well

[opaque flax]

What’s your take on free proton?

[obtuse brook]

Yep. If you really care, there's ways to build a legit anonymous proxy, but it'll cost you a couple hundred bucks, be a huge pain in the ass, and if you ever slip up and connect from your house the whole thing is burned and you have to start over

[small badge]

Is nord any good its always advertised

[silver sky]

better than other free vpns

[obtuse brook]

If you're not paying for the service, you're the product

[opaque flax]

I was thinking that

[boreal scarab]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT

[grizzled wing]

[worn thorn]

I use proton because I use their suite of services regularly and there swiss made which I value pretty high.

[granite narwhal]

Free vpn means not secure riggght/

[small badge]

Im a very paranoid person but also very lax so it just depends on the day which one i am

[worn thorn]

depends on the reputation of the company

[granite narwhal]

Right?

[rugged kayak]

i dont think you need vpn encryption at all, https exists and if companies want to sell your data and spy on you they will

[granite narwhal]

😅😅

[opaque flax]

I mean I think it’s more for hiding from your isp

[rugged kayak]

unless you are doing some shady stuff or leaking government secrets you dont need one

[granite narwhal]

But https for securing not for changing ip

[small badge]

What is probably the best skill in pentesting

[rugged kayak]

well yes

but if you care about privacy dont be cheap

[granite narwhal]

@rugged kayak

[opaque flax]

If you’re leaking gov secrets a vpn won’t save you

[rugged kayak]

why do you need to change ip

[granite narwhal]

I dont need

[small badge]

Tbh i used to think that hiding your stuff was basically just spam proxychains
