you didn't need more because there wasn't more

[high mulch]

https://tenor.com/view/ghost-gif-5889395026730118957

[shut hawk]

Honestly though

[crisp creek]

i still have my ps one and ps2 memory cards somewhere with all their data

[shut hawk]

I'd much rather have my game be large and fully local

[oblique loom]

Fallout 3 is like what, 6 GBs?

[shut hawk]

Then what a lot of morden games are doing now which is cloud streaming

[snow path]

Mario 64 was peak

[exotic vector]

TBF the save files for games are still very small

[wooden totem]

It's because of very detailed maps which weren't optimized

[oblique loom]

I belive it

[boreal scarab]

And everything came fully released, no need for any updates at all. No need for online features. Just your PS2, imagination, and your TV

[sick lance]

Unless you played FFXI.

[exotic vector]

In 4:3 aspect ratio

[oblique loom]

Yea, no loot crates

[boreal scarab]

I still have my PS2 and memory cards

[sick lance]

In which case, needed an internet connection and updates.

[oblique loom]

When you bought the game you actually owned it

[snow path]

What is this ancient contraption

[crisp creek]

its like almost every dev team is making open world or battle royal nowadays

[boreal scarab]

💀

[sick lance]

http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/index.shtml

[boreal scarab]

I HAD THIS! Still have it too!

[wooden totem]

I didn't have PS2, I had PSP, PS1, PS3, PS4, PC in that order

[boreal scarab]

The EyeToy!

[crisp creek]

yeah, got my PS2 also, but not the ps one tho

[snow path]

Weren’t y’all around when phone booths were still a thing?

[exotic vector]

I had a PS2 and GameCube....

[high mulch]

PS2 was such a nice console

[boreal scarab]

I had PS1, PS2, GBA, Gamecube, DS, Wii, N64, PSP

[exotic vector]

Phone booths were still in use even after you were born

[crisp creek]

best times

[snow path]

I don’t remember them ngl

Never even gazed upon a phone booth

[boreal scarab]

Forgot about my PSP.... even though I said it earlier lol

[oblique loom]

Didn't some Gov buy a bunch of PS2s cause they were so "powerful" they wanted to build some kind of supercomputer?

[wild rose]

Naw when you had to link up gameboys to play Tetris or trade pokemon.

[boreal scarab]

You're. Still. A. Child.

[snow path]

Do y’all think the moon landing was fake, they did that shit with kilobytes

Kinda hard to believe

[exotic vector]

Which is funny because the GameCube was more powerful than the PS2 lol

[crisp creek]

the ads for the link cable were funny tho

[wooden totem]

I will try to attempt 24 hours without discord challenge

[boreal scarab]

That's all you needed. Just 1's and 0's

[snow path]

I’m 19 turning 20, I am no longer an infant

[boreal scarab]

Yes you are

[snow path]

Damn

Oh well, I tried

[oblique loom]

Be glad, enjoy being young while it lasts

[boreal scarab]

@sick lance is still a baby

[wooden totem]

if you need me, send a letter to my agent's po box

[boreal scarab]

That can be interpreted in 2 ways

[snow path]

Mann, I gotta pay taxes, this game isn’t fun anymore

[oblique loom]

At least your not going to war

xP

[wild rose]

Isn't suppose to be "New Year, a New You"; here we are talking about who's older than who.

[crisp creek]

time to test another server

[boreal scarab]

Yes

And we're all reliving our childhoods

[snow path]

I wanna switch to the pve server instead of the pvp server

[boreal scarab]

@snow path is still in his childhood

[wild rose]

more like clash with our childhoods.

[exotic vector]

I'm still a kid at heart. I honestly believe adults fake being adults

[oblique loom]

Them good ol' 2003 days.. ☺️

[mossy river]

Ah.. yes, I remember 2003, I slept pretty much all day (was a baby)

[snow path]

Well at least the gives me time to become a og hacker man, I got time to get certified

[crisp creek]

thats true, have seen so many boomer who behave like spoiled brats

[oblique loom]

My older cousin legit does this and it's so cringe

[boreal scarab]

Still are

[snow path]

Ahh yes, me too (I was just atoms)

[calm briar]

Let me tell you about the warp tour

When bands would blink 182 times on stage

[boreal scarab]

We're all children at heart!

[snow path]

Adults are just big babies with responsibilities

[oblique loom]

I survived the Hector Mine Earthquake of '99

At age 3

[crisp creek]

real survivor

[wild rose]

I fake being an adult by (used to) drinking coffee and smoke cigarettes, but when I'm home I just chill with my SO and play with our animals.

[snow path]

I will always be a child until I’m 90 and on my death bed

[oblique loom]

Was at like 3am and all I remember is my parents grabbing me out of my bed and running out the house.

[boreal scarab]

achoo

[snow path]

Tragic back story lore incoming?

[wild rose]

TBH I was in bed before midnight last night. I just can't hang anymore.

[snow path]

Throw this in the trash where it belongs

[boreal scarab]

You didn't do this. By the time you were in school, you had chromebooks

[oblique loom]

Pff... math.. this early?

Lol

[oblique loom]

Oh lord

[snow path]

Don’t expose me

[oblique loom]

No... plz

Don't mention Chromebooks here

[wild rose]

I used to cheat by doing all the zeros and 1's first than 5's and 9's cuz they were the easiest to remember.

[snow path]

It’s not my fault I was born in the time that technology was advancing

[oblique loom]

You don't know what I've seen with the Chromebooks

[wooden totem]

5 minutes without discord, I'm feeling the withdrawal symptoms I gotta take a short break

[boreal scarab]

ACHOO

[snow path]

Bruh, my teachers would send me messages on the chromebooks saying “get back to work”

[snow path]

I was shitting bricks

[oblique loom]

I was playing Starfield on a laptop and then I got distracted my this chat and now pacing around the kitchen due to coffee stimulation lol

[boreal scarab]

7's KILLED me

[crisp creek]

using an abacus isnt that hard

[wooden totem]

time to lock in

[snow path]

Yeah but I didn’t even know they had that ability lol

[oblique loom]

dies

[wild rose]

We made our own abacus using a wire hanger and beads.

[icy schooner]

Is there any pro of using dark links here

[oblique loom]

Man these kids destroy the hell out of those things, I swear

[boreal scarab]

If you know, you know.

[sick lance]

Why do you ask?

[mossy river]

I did this 🖐️
We had chrome books, still did worksheets that look identical to this. Even when I went to do a work placement at a primary school, they still used paper like this 😆

[snow path]

Covid hit while I was in school so everything was online and remote

[wild rose]

I'm older than you and I don't know what this is.

[boreal scarab]

What numbers were you stuck on?

[boreal scarab]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNb0iY5kCcI

[half girder]

what kind of lsd trip is that? Oo

[boreal scarab]

[rapid merlin]

what site is this LOL

[mossy river]

I wasn't 😎
I always got to the end and did the extension questions on the board

[rapid merlin]

Explain my brain is dead rn

[oblique loom]

I've would've looked up which Chromebook was checked out you. CTRL-F the serial number into the admin dashboard and remote restart the device.. that is how evil I am.

[boreal scarab]

We found someone younger than all of us!

[snow path]

Remember back when Facebook had games on the web application?

[rapid merlin]

I'm 2y yougner than Jabba I think

[boreal scarab]

You were a very studious elementary school student then lol

[mossy river]

19?

[rapid merlin]

close, 18

19 in 27d

[snow path]

haha, I’m older

[boreal scarab]

That's 3

[mossy river]

Umm ☝️ 🤓 this is the uk, we do not have elementary school here 🤧

[crisp creek]

more infants in chat now

[snow path]

Children 🙄

[rapid merlin]

I always respect my elders, don't worry

[boreal scarab]

You'll need this

[rapid merlin]

fuck you

[glass nest]

really?

[boreal scarab]

[snow path]

As you should 🙂

[jade wing]

Some windows 2k/early xp looking game

[mossy river]

I think that message sums it up

[rapid merlin]

LMFAOOOOO JABBA

[oblique loom]

Respect your elders unless they were affected by the leaded gasoline

[snow path]

I’m on a power trip now, I feel the authority of adulthood.

[wild rose]

It was serendipitous

[boreal scarab]

[rapid merlin]

May I send a friend request?

[crisp creek]

that must be a fake feeling

[boreal scarab]

First ever person to ask lol

[snow path]

All feelings are fake

[jade wing]

I feel like the older I am now I realize I wasn’t truly an adult anywhere near 18 or shit even my early 20s

[mossy river]

ZER0 DAY, didn't you say you were 19 earlier? 😆

[oblique loom]

You not adult adult till 26

[snow path]

I don’t wanna grow up

[oblique loom]

20 - 25 young adult

[half girder]

adult stuff kicks in with mid 20s to 30s

[boreal scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/donk-feels-donk-man-donk-typing-donk-chat-feels-dank-man-gif-17406823

[wild rose]

I need to get back to making french toast.

[snow path]

I’m almost 20 first of all

[jade wing]

That’s about the age yea I would agree. Really closer to 30 the better but I would accept 25-30 depending on mindset and experiences

[mossy river]

Almost 20 is still 19 😆

[crisp creek]

yeah, same here. changed with 27 for me

[rugged kayak]

being 20 is just being kid with money

[snow path]

I’ll be 20 in 17 days

[sacred viper]

Im sure you have an elementary school. There arent british kids running around with bad teeth in the mines. You just call it something different.

[snow path]

I’m a big boy now

[glass nest]

Money? Nowadays? Cmon Sloboda

[oblique loom]

I said the same at your age. Now I make the most I've ever made!

Take the right paths while you have them. :)

[mossy river]

As a former 19 year old, I also thought I was an adult. As a current 21 year old, I was wrong

[sick lance]

No, they closed the mines.

[sacred viper]

The kids yearn for the mines.

[snow path]

I have now been inspired

[wild rose]

Yes you are a big boy now with those Huggie Pull-ups.

[boreal scarab]

Cough
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07JMv5M3wl0

[snow path]

How you know about that?

[rugged kayak]

i tought 20 year olds have their life sorted and are responsible adults

[oblique loom]

No lol

[half girder]

lol

[jade wing]

Until you feel the weight of your existence crush your soul and realize that everything is pain even happiness you have not reached adulthood

[snow path]

Haha speak for yourself

I’m stressing over here

[crisp creek]

even waking up in the morning

[jade wing]

Indeed.

[sacred viper]

At 19? Over which pop tarts to eat? Ill switch places with you guys

[rugged kayak]

i was 14 when i was thinking like this

[snow path]

I feel my joint becoming more frail day by day

[half girder]

for me the adult feeling kicked in when i went to the bank to get a credit for buying a house, knowing the huge number and being in debts

[wild rose]

I get my cast off next week. can't wait to shower without a bag on my wrist.

[snow path]

Listen, I’m not this far in the hole, I pick the s’mores one

[oblique loom]

The older you get the smarter. How? Brain still developing till mid 20s.

Technically always devoples, but will biologically develop

[jade wing]

Debt, and having to take care of all bills and everything by yourself. All appointments and having the discipline to do it and take care of yourself while you work a soul sucking job to get ahead for your future plans is the start of adulthood.

[jade wing]

Nirvana can’t be reached without this struggle of the human condition

[oblique loom]

This ^

[snow path]

So that means I’ll just be super good with tech my whole life?

[half girder]

that summarizes it well and also being responsible for your own family

[snow path]

Say yes 🥲

[oblique loom]

Depends, wanna be lazy or do something

[crisp creek]

the band or the state of mind?

[snow path]

I wanna do everything

[jade wing]

You when the family comes into the mix it all amplifies substantially

[snow path]

Except algebra

[half girder]

@mossy river how long you do the discord admin here? makes me wonder whether it wasnt children work once 😛

[jade wing]

Either lol

[devout palm]

Family as in parents or wife and kids

[wooden totem]

Are mods allowed to mute innocent people if they specifically request it, is that something that can be done

[jade wing]

Gonna be real hard to reach the lead singer of nirvana but with enough brain matter it can be done

[jade wing]

Too dark?

[crisp creek]

ouch

[oblique loom]

Then never early to get started. Just be realistic with your goals and don't set any that are a solar system away-high or you'll discourage yourself.

[snow path]

Nah, scrubz is probably lurking in the shadows like Batman

[devout palm]

You can ping @ everyone to mute yourself

[crisp creek]

that almost got me blown away

[jade wing]

Lmao I’m mind blown you would say such a thing

[wooden totem]

well you see that gets put into logs as "not innocent"

[half girder]

he does, waiting for someone to mention they test their own router in order to ask them "did you buy it or get it from provider?" 😛

[devout palm]

Then just delete discord

[snow path]

Right now I just want to get a cyber security job and mess around with all the tech I can get my hands on

[cerulean nest]

fr

[jade wing]

You’ll likely want to start off on the path of a systems engineer and go to work at an msp

[oblique loom]

Any previous exp, formal education, certifications?

[snow path]

I wanna build robots and be the reason robots take over the human race

[jade wing]

You’ll get all kinds of experience

[grim sparrow]

There are no URLs in that message.

[proven vigil]

😔

[mossy river]

Not sure what you mean by “it wasn’t children work once”.

I joined TryHackMe’s Discord when I was around 15, became mentor and moderator at 16, joined the company at 17 and then was moved to community manager at 20

[crisp creek]

and here i am thinking about digimon who can be our friends

[snow path]

Not really, I’m just really big tech nerd

[half girder]

when you work as underage person

[snow path]

No certs

[wild rose]

Just wait until you get to a place where the tech stack is ever growing and you don't want to use AI solutions cuz you don't have the time to train it to normal network traffic.

[oblique loom]

Damn, talk about success hitting the ground running.

[jade wing]

Jabba you get paid a wage in your role?

[wild rose]

I'm looking at you - DarkTrace...

[jade wing]

We don’t talk about dark trace

[mossy river]

I’m the youngest community moderator and employee. Nobody has been hired ‘underage’, youngest and only moderator under 18 was me I’m pretty sure

[boreal scarab]

https://coprint3d.com/products/kcm-set-multi-color-update-for-klipper-printers?variant=50165767864629

Still debating on this

[mossy river]

Yes because I am an employee :)

[jade wing]

Right on dude.

[mossy river]

My moderator duties are voluntary just like all the other moderators

[snow path]

I feel like working as a network engineer would be cool ngl

[glass nest]

Pretty sure Paradox was quite young

[mossy river]

Older than me I’m pretty sure

[rapid merlin]

I would love to get a job with THM

[snow path]

I use to be really good with networking and subnetting

Now I’m just rusty

[half girder]

that wasnt really a serious question, just rather making a lil fun on age.

[mossy river]

Keep an eye on our Linkedin 😉

[glass nest]

Well, he acted a lot younger :p

[jade wing]

That’s not something you find yourself all of a sudden not good at

[mossy river]

Maybe i acted a lot older

[snow path]

Well I studied a lot for fun

[olive portal]

Where do I sign up to THM STAFF

[cerulean nest]

anyone here do cisco packet tracer?

[jade wing]

Also subnetting IS networking

[cerulean nest]

its probably one of my favorite passtimes

[oblique loom]

If you have none of what I mentioned it will be very very difficult getting your foot in the door without connections.

My recommendation, become certified is a good first step. But, and at least in my area, without a bachelor's education. It will be more tough getting into level 2 positions and above.

[mossy river]

Tryhackme linkedin, all staff are employees

[cerulean nest]

sudo ./jabba.sh

[snow path]

What if I go in the military for cyber security?

[mossy river]

🤖 segregation fault: core dumped

[cerulean nest]

💀

[cerulean nest]

i mean

[devout palm]

segregation

[mossy river]

You will be massively underwhelmed

[cerulean nest]

^

[wild rose]

I prefer Cisco's Viral as you can deploy your settings to devices on your network.

[boreal scarab]

Not all Moderators are staff.
(Do we even have Mod/Staff anymore besides you, Jabba?)

[mossy river]

Whoopsie

[jade wing]

Then you will learn some terms and some things and become reliant depending on the sector to tools you won’t have access to as a civi

[cerulean nest]

u mean cisco modeling labs?

[mossy river]

I’m the only staff moderator

[cerulean nest]

i never really figured out how it worked

[oblique loom]

They're gonna want a bachelor's (Airforce told me this actually) and you have to do a 12 week training in some middle of nowhere Virginia

[jade wing]

It’s not a bad path but also gov sec isn’t the.l best imo from experience

[rapid merlin]

A bit early maybe? 😂

[cerulean nest]

💀

[devout palm]

I might be up for a tech support at THM

[snow path]

Damn, is there trade schools for cyber security?

[rapid merlin]

Yeah I have an issue with my linkedin and have to message them again. It's really frustrating, thats why I couldn't apply for the room tester job

[wild rose]

Did they change the name? Haven't worked at Cisco almost 10 years now.

[jade wing]

You can get into the ARMY cyber programs without a degree but they are low level and they still will expect growth out of you. You also will need to score sufficiently high on the Asvab

[devout palm]

Is there a room tester job?

Damn

[oblique loom]

Yes, off the bat, one is the Texas State Technical College

[jade wing]

You will need a high school diploma and or a GED depending on waivers and how bad they want you

[sick lance]

Employment at THM is a good thing,

[cerulean nest]

employment anywhere is a good thing

unless its mcdonalds, starbucks, etc etc

[boreal scarab]

@blazing granite

[sick lance]

#site-bugs please.

[oblique loom]

Many colleges offer associate programs for cybersecurity

[snow path]

I feel like if I wanted I could just join the army and become really good at cyber security and join the cyber operations, idk if a company would hire me after my service though

[jade wing]

All employment is good at getting you a stepping stone financially where you want to be.

[cerulean nest]

true tho

[jade wing]

Also Starbucks pays for degrees while you are there

[oblique loom]

These will be your trade schools and community colleges for the most part

[cerulean nest]

ngl SANS has insanely high quality courses

they are just really expensive

[sick lance]

And highly priced.

[cerulean nest]

like stupidly expensive

[crude stump]

Nothing bad about those businesses

[cerulean nest]

9.99k for the 2nd course in cyber

[sick lance]

Their Malware course is amazing.

[wild rose]

might as well pay for SANS than go to college.

[jade wing]

First off yes they would. Second if you feel that way go try.

[cerulean nest]

is it worth paying literally 9,999 for the network and endpoint course?

i feel like it isnt really worth it

but idfk

[snow path]

It’s worth a try, that was my plan A ngl

[jade wing]

Only one way to find out eh?

[snow path]

Plus if I save all my money I’d have around 100k by the time I get out

[cerulean nest]

u only got 1 life tho

[boreal scarab]

4 hours at 1mm layerheight? Not bad at all!

[oblique loom]

I'm spending around ~$15 - $20 G total for my bachelor's of science in cyber and info assurance

[cerulean nest]

if i were u i would play it safe

[cerulean nest]

rip

wait total?

[jade wing]

Worst case you score low enough on your asvab to where it reality checks you and you have to strive for it. Which is also not a bad thing.

[oblique loom]

Yup

[cerulean nest]

thats not that bad...

[oblique loom]

Total

Exactly

Lol

[cerulean nest]

i did a bit of math and my numbers arent lookin good

probably around double

😭

[snow path]

I’m pretty determined, if I fail then I’ll keep trying

[cerulean nest]

gonna make my family and me all go broke

fr

[jade wing]

If you do a 3 year standard term this is unlikely but a possibility

[cerulean nest]

100k in military is probably unheard of

government aint pay shi

[snow path]

Well I wouldn’t have to pay for food or housing

[cerulean nest]

still

[jade wing]

It’s doable with the proper sign on bonus and living frugal

[cerulean nest]

^

[snow path]

That was the plan

[cerulean nest]

but u only get 2 chances

[jade wing]

The problem is when you’re young and you join and you taste true freedom you WILL spend your money on dumb shit

[cerulean nest]

if they dont give u sign on bonus

u cant just wait for like another

2-3 years

[cerulean nest]

fr lmao

[wild rose]

That's why you get out ASAP with a clearance and join the public sector.

[cerulean nest]

take an economics course

r

fr

[devout palm]

Me buying JD and jager

[jade wing]

Not to mention that if you go in at an e-1 you are getting paid less than a McDonald’s worker all things considered like you are 24/7

[sacred viper]

You only have to save 2,777 a month for 3 years to have a 100k, not impossible, highly unlikely.

[cerulean nest]

💀

[snow path]

Well, I got goals, if it gets me to the bigger picture I’ll do what needs to be done

[cerulean nest]

i mean bros essentialy gambling

[jade wing]

It will also take you about 3 years to hit e-3 - e-4

[cerulean nest]

but to each their own

[sacred viper]

Honestly, the really succesful people are a little delulu, so maybe Zero Day is the next big thing or we will never hear from them again. Either way, GO FOR IT!

[snow path]

If there’s a will there’s a way, if the military doesn’t work out I can find a way after my service

[oblique loom]

If you wanna go the Education route, look up Governors State university. Idk if it's available in your area. But it is an open gate.

[jade wing]

I joined the military when I was young and it taught me discipline if anything else and though I wouldn’t recommend it to someone else out of my sheer spite for it now as an older person I would say it was vital to my growth as a human

[snow path]

At least I’d be a veteran

And say I did it

[jade wing]

I was homeless when I went in and addicted to drugs and was let’s just say not a lawful citizen

[sacred viper]

Yea, I hear veterans love their experience ......

[jade wing]

I’m now making plenty and take care of my family

[snow path]

That’s good, feel like that would hurt ngl

[jade wing]

I was in at the height of our conflicts in the Middle East as an 11b (infantry) not a pleasant experience to say the least

[snow path]

Wouldn’t*

[oblique loom]

I couldn't do military due to health so college was my next route.

[sacred viper]

Not even that, but once you leave a lot of my vet friends basically say f**k the gov because of how they are treated once they are released

Missing benefits, extreme wait times for VA, etc etc

Near zero mental health support

[jade wing]

I lied about my health and having asthma etc, let me tell you, that gas chamber almost killed me

[snow path]

I really don’t like the idea of having to pay a shit load of money to go to collage though ngl

[jade wing]

You can’t bring your inhaler or anything especially because you lied about it

[jade wing]

I got my degree through my benefits and yes that helped a lot

[sacred viper]

Community college is pretty much free and can get you to where you need to be

[jade wing]

Everything you said is fairly accurate

[jade wing]

Especially with the Pell grant

[oblique loom]

Yea, I'm not lying to the military. In the heat of combat; I have a health issue. Would not be a good thing.

[jade wing]

The Pell grant will get you through a 2 year degree at a community college if you’re smart and you will have 0 debt

[sacred viper]

Yea, what Binary is saying.

[jade wing]

It was not great, I just went and got an inhaler when I deployed

But it was very foolish of me

And I was selfish for doing so

[snow path]

I’m fairly healthy, but I don’t wanna go to the military if it isn’t gonna help me with my future and my ambitions

[sacred viper]

Get enough money to cover your first year, use your grades to cover your next 3 years.

[jade wing]

It will help you, it just comes at a steep price

Well it did for me anyways it doesn’t for everyone

[snow path]

What is the price?

[sacred viper]

I got tuition assistance, book assistance, living assistance and a stipend just to study. I would download the books as free PDFs, then buy the books for other students and pocket the cash. College is the easiest time to make money.

NOt to mention in your 20s you can live for like $5 a day

Much harder at 30s

[jade wing]

Mental health being number one depending on what you’re doing. Physical health coming in right away as you get older. You beat the shit out of your body.

[snow path]

That’s true

[jade wing]

Also depending on the role, and the time and if we are engaged in an active theater of combat, potentially your life.

[cerulean nest]

does the military kill you if they think u know too much?

they shouldnt right

[snow path]

Well would you recommend I got to the military or bust my ass off until I get enough to go to collage?

[cerulean nest]

its cyber

[sacred viper]

Only in the movies.

If you try driving to Area 51 they will, so kinda.

[cerulean nest]

ik other countries do

idk abt US

[sacred viper]

Howver, when you are deployed and after, if you have access to certain information they monitor your comms

[cerulean nest]

na its a real thing

[jade wing]

I won’t comment on my thoughts on that but I will say it is highly unlikely you will be in a position to know too much without understanding first the risks involved with “knowing too much”

[glass nest]

Unless it's a 'naruto run'

[oblique loom]

XD

[sacred viper]

Active deployed members, communicating back home have a third man listening that cuts the call if information that shouldnt be shared is mentioned

[cerulean nest]

dam

[jade wing]

Not always true, however you will likely be flagged

[oblique loom]

Area 51 is just a research & dev facility for the Airforce

[jade wing]

They will let you bury yourself

[oblique loom]

It's where new military tech is made

[cerulean nest]

yeah personally i dont want to be on the government's radar

[snow path]

It’s either military or working my ass off to afford collage, which one would you say is the best bet?

[oblique loom]

The good toys

[void hinge]

I want to learn ethical hacking, how can i start I have experience linux and networking little bit of bursuite but don't what to do next ? Is there anyone who can guide me ?

[sacred viper]

Ahh interesting.

[cerulean nest]

i mean they prob dont have all the crazy secret shi in there

it prob gets more hype than it deserves

[sacred viper]

How old are you?

[cerulean nest]

college better trust

[snow path]

19 turning 20 this month

[cerulean nest]

theres only 1 bill gates per generation

[oblique loom]

They have (yes this is a thing) a type of jet plaster called RAM

[jade wing]

I think best bet, is you use your Pell grant and go to community college and knock out a two year, get good grades to fund a scholarship and apply to other grants for a 4 year

[oblique loom]

RAM makes fight jets invisible to radar

[jade wing]

If you are in a desperate situation like I was, homeless and out of options. Military if you can do it

[sacred viper]

Wut

[cerulean nest]

yea i think ik

[cerulean nest]

fr

yeah

if u got no better options

but i mean if u can avoid it, avoid it

[sacred viper]

Military gets you on your feet faster, Education gets your there eventually with a much lower cost to self.

[devout palm]

Go to a community college, while doing that improve yourself study very hard individually (much more than course topic or cybersecurity)

[jade wing]

It’s legit the last option I would ever recommend to anybody

[cerulean nest]

^

[sacred viper]

This, 100%

[oblique loom]

I've been digging into it cause sounds kinda interesting

Radar Absorption Material

[cerulean nest]

its prob a fkton of math

i mean it definately is

[oblique loom]

Doubt it, it's something they paint on the planes.

[cerulean nest]

its math

like

[blazing granite]

😂

[cerulean nest]

the coating and stuff

[oblique loom]

Ah, I see

[cerulean nest]

cause it has to absorb the waves somehow

[sacred viper]

When you say math, do you mean chemistry?

[cerulean nest]

na

math

[jade wing]

It helps, but the way it all works is the ping not coming back also determines an object being there. That’s why they have more advanced techniques including advanced electronic warfare capabilities.

[cerulean nest]

geometry

prob physics

[snow path]

Well I’m not in a desperate situation, I just want to figure out the best path to take so I can eventually repay my family back for looking out for me

[cerulean nest]

cause somehow u gotta make the material absorb all the radar waves but not reflect stuff

[devout palm]

Think college like an allocated time for self improvement and nobody can say you are doing nothing. (Speaking of experience, i thought of dropping out the university and have more free time but i don't have enough financial and emotional support.)

[cerulean nest]

or reflect an empty signal or whatnot

[oblique loom]

It's has plastic "beads" of unknown type is all I could really find on it.

[sacred viper]

You are mixing some things up. Like vanta black obscure light because it traps the light by not allowing it to reflect out (geometry) but its a chemical process to create it, not math

[jade wing]

So typical radar will work by me pinging an area for the sake of explanation with for example photons, and those photons bounce back. I’m looking for the bounce back to determine the location snd size of the object. A bit like sonar but not really. Anyways that gives me a signature

[sacred viper]

Math goes into, but its a chemists job.

[cerulean nest]

vantablack isnt how the material works

and no they dont paint the plane fkin black lol

[sacred viper]

It was an example.... nvm. As you were.

[jade wing]

If I also don’t get anything back it can be interpreted as well.

[cerulean nest]

if u find anything on it lmk

sounds fun

[sacred viper]

All the signal keeps disappearing over here.....probably nothing.

[jade wing]

One of the more advanced techniques is to return only what you want so the signature fools the radar system to look like something it’s not

[devout palm]

I have finals next week and i am still analyzing this roblox malware

[cerulean nest]

its probably that ngl

just absorb everythign and resend

lol

[cerulean nest]

analyze it hard

u got this

[jade wing]

That’s a technique yes

[sacred viper]

How old are you Henry?

[jade wing]

But also advanced jamming can be deployed etc

[cerulean nest]

also petition for the :jameslyne: emoji

[cerulean nest]

not saying

[sacred viper]

As Binary just said, no information is a lot of information.

[cerulean nest]

yup

[jade wing]

Indeed

[cerulean nest]

so you can probably infer im not over 20

[sacred viper]

Yup lol

[cerulean nest]

: )

[snow path]

Hmm does the military pay for your collage?

[cerulean nest]

probably?

they pay for your training

so you could get SANS courses

on them

ik that

but other than that idk

[snow path]

Hmm alright

[loud hazel]

Can someone help me with automating reverse engineering r2pipe?

[cerulean nest]

u should ask the higher admins to add :jameslyne:

I have set a breakpoint at an fgets instruction and then executed the binary using dc via r2pipe python module...

It hits the breakpoint, then I have to give it a payload as userinput...

TryHackMe Rules · Jan 1, 2025, 4:51 PM

[jade wing]

After you get out you get the GI bill, you need to complete a term of at least 1 full year, 365 days to get the full benefit you pay into it each check. You also have to complete said term as a “soldier” meaning you have completed basic training and your vocational school and be at your duty station. Or been in the military for a period of longer than I believe 6 months. In order to be classified as a soldier.

[wary root]

https://tryhackme.com/r/hacktivities this entire page is missing breadcrumbs and uris making it so bad to navigate lol

[lavish wolf]

i am thinking about starting to learn here on tryhackme. I have som basic understanding about network protocols, ports, tcp/ip and so on. I want to learn ethical hacking and what is the best course to start taking in your opinion?

[glass nest]

Stop thinking. Start learning.

Go to #start-here

[opaque flax]

Damn

Maybe I should follow esqys advice

[lavish wolf]

👍

[glass nest]

I have a history of not thinking. don't see why I should start now

[sick lance]

#site-bugs if you think it's a bug

[lavish wolf]

but do you have any recommandations in which course to take first?

[opaque flax]

I lost all my brain cells so it’s hard to think

[cloud quiver]

This one 🙂

https://tryhackme.com/r/path/outline/cybersecurity101

[lavish wolf]

👍

is it free to a ceratin path?

[cloud quiver]

Majority is free 🙂

[sick lance]

All paths are free to start, they have subscription content.

[jade wing]

I would advise against combat related roles. I also foresee a high likelihood of conflict on the horizon. These are things to consider. You will NOT have a choice but to participate in one way or another if that comes to fruition.

[sick lance]

Unless they introduce conscription.

[snow path]

I’m aiming for cyber operations role above anything

[exotic vector]

Atm I'm trying to figure out what type of encryption have been used in the hash I have (it's practice nothing illegal)

[jade wing]

To a certain point yes. But I find the barrier of entry cost wise on try hack me is very fair and the best band for your buck if you’re thinking about getting your feet wet.

[lavish wolf]

okay

[sick lance]

https://github.com/HashPals/Name-That-Hash by @boreal gull

[boreal gull]

henlo!!!

But at that point you have a choice and options to avoid it if you so choose. Those choices will be a lot more limited if you are already in.

If they introduce conscription we are likely
In a world war and at that point I think all advice goes out the window.

I would prefer not to get shot at

[boreal gull]

it will tell you what the JTR / Hashcat modes are too

[snow path]

But oh well

You only live once

[glass nest]

You might. i live every day.

[exotic vector]

thank you, think its the same one that scrubz linked

[jade wing]

It’s the same joke I make with uptime at my job. They will ask me what if x thing goes down completely. And I’m like well we have zone redundancy and geo redundancy and meticulous back up and recover options as well as disaster recovery scenarios

Then they will ask me but what if those fail?

[boreal gull]

oh it is, just older 🙂

[jade wing]

And I’ll say then likely we have been nuked and I don’t think any of this will be a concern

[snow path]

Yeahh, if I live then though would be pretty dope and I can live out my days doing cool hacker shit

And if I die then I get to go explore what’s on the other side

[jade wing]

Don’t think there will be a ton of hacker shit in that scenario

Might want to get your bush craft skills up

[snow path]

Haha yeah true

I meant after lol

If I live and get out the military, THEN I can do cool hacker shit

Either way, I’m still gonna end up like a bad ass

If I die I shall do so with finesse

[jade wing]

I would not recommend that attitude. Just go to school man. Take it easy. You have plenty to explore. If college isn’t up your alley right now try and go for an entry level cert. I can promise you if you can’t find the discipline to complete an entry level cert you will lack the discipline to do well in the military. Test yourself here first and if you still feel the same way after exploring your other options then go for it. Good luck either way. I’m going to go shop for switch games and a new laptop now.

[snow path]

Haha thanks for everything

I shall do exactly that

rolling own dotfiles here

[rapid merlin]

I dunno Our lecturer told us to refer to at least 20 research papers. All of the contents in them are pretty new and confusing. I was hoping for some help from someone in the field. But I guess it goes against the rules here. I understand. I'll see what I can do

[sand trench]

and down to about 800 packages from 2000 packages

[wary ocean]

whats the papers

[grizzled wing]

perfect use case for notebook LM, give it the papers in pdf or txt file and it will help you out

even can make a podcast explaining stuff

[rapid merlin]

For real? Notebook LM, is it free?

[grizzled wing]

gmail account is all

[wary ocean]

is that the same program that will give a TLDR version of the pdfs?

[grizzled wing]

yes, if you want it to or other functions you ask

it can make accounting and tax stuff interesting in my use case

theres some videos on youtube of basic NIST frameworks and a website for ISO frameworks to look up the different version (i guess thats what youd call it)

[rapid merlin]

Noted!

[grizzled wing]

Gemini knows what cyber recon analysis is

gave a few links

[wary ocean]

i recommend spending more time with NIST and ISO frameowrk if youre struggling with it to get a stronger grasp of the concept

[rapid merlin]

That's cool. I noted down everything everyone said

[grizzled wing]

🍀 good luck

[rapid merlin]

Is it hard to grasp?

[rapid merlin]

Thank you!

[wary ocean]

if youre struggling with it then spend more time learning it, idk if its hard to grasp or not as a general for people since everyone learns things different

like SQL is absolutely mind melting for me

like i just cant understand it to save my life so i spend more time with it

[grizzled wing]

SQL to me is easy to understand , we are all different

[opaque flax]

My library near me offers a free 3d printer for use

I should really go use it

[jade wing]

Hell yea

[opaque flax]

I’ve been meaning to. I have stuff I want to print

[jolly aspen]

do you know which printer they have?

[jade wing]

I’ll be honest if I have a legit need it want to prototype something I send it off to be printed for me

[opaque flax]

They have a couple lemme look

[haughty topaz]

hello, happy new year,
do people know "okadminfinder"?

[jolly aspen]

there are basically 2 high level branches of 3d printing

tinkering with the machines and tech

and printing prototypes

[silver sky]

Basically go buster/dirbuster

[jolly aspen]

some of the machines require tinkering and settings adjustments to get good prints, others privide a well running system that gets the prints going right away. depends what your interest is in it

[glass nest]

Theres always settings to tinker with

[boreal scarab]

@loud marlin No floofy finger right now, it's not feeding right. it's probably a bit wet

I hear skipping in the motor.,...

[haughty topaz]

what should that tool need to have to be better ? speed?

[jolly aspen]

yea but running older prusa's vs newer bamboo labs is a big difference in the necesity of settings/tinkering for a functioning and successful print

[boreal scarab]

And now the filament wont come out....

https://tenor.com/view/fuck-shouting-screaming-gif-15879227

And filament is stuck in the hotend...

great

[glass nest]

true, but the expectations are a lot higher on the newer ones, which causes more tinkering

[grizzled wing]

Great Expectations

[opaque flax]

Dremel 3d45 and a makerbot method x

[jolly aspen]

i think you are convoluting my point. prusas are highly modular, where other models like bamboo are set right out of the box

[glass nest]

It's how I roll

[jolly aspen]

the difference between wanting the be a part of the build process of a printer, vs jsut having a printer that can make prints right away without needing to know how it works precisely - of course both require understanding some of the settings to a degree, but one has default settings that acoomplish prototyping on day one

[jolly aspen]

oh, cool. those should be pretty dialed in

[opaque flax]

Why’s that?

[loud marlin]

extrude manually

[glass nest]

Use that little pokey-stick

Or.. new nozzle 😄

[jolly aspen]

because, while you can tinker. they aren't intended to be a "build your own" style printer. they are built and marketed to just work out of the box

[boreal scarab]

[boreal scarab]

Yah, I have my man Pyro, Dragonborn, Chief, and Billy Bob.

[glass nest]

don't forget Anon and Frontman

[jolly aspen]

speed, materials it can print, preciseness, type of filament feed, size, printbed material, expansion capabilities, logic boards, screens.. even down to the type of servos/stepper motors used which all effect the above - some are highly modular. while others are just ready to go, and have less options (or no options) for mods

[glass nest]

out of the box is so much easier 😄

That being said, I'd not really had any projects that I got excited about to print. 's just been sat there.

[jolly aspen]

haha less learning curve. maybe its easier to think of it as do you want to learn just the software(slicer, 3d) or both software and hardware

[glass nest]

I just wanted to make my own pokeballs.

[jolly aspen]

props to the OG's that sorted all that out just running head first into hardware and software simulataniously

yea, hardware knowledge might be overkill

here we come universal charging port for nearly all portable devices ( not laptops yet )

[glass nest]

Aye. although everything you print is pretty 'metal'

[jolly aspen]

what happened?

[opaque flax]

Iirc the filament was lifting off the plate and dragging so it was immediately apparent it was all messed up

[rapid merlin]

[jolly aspen]

ah, might just need to dry filament, clean the build plate. or adjust z axis and hotend temp

[glass nest]

Thats what your prit-stick is for 😄

Yeah, I find the same with woodworking, Beerise. Most of what I make is stuff for the workshop

[jolly aspen]

oh, that could be a couple things then. sounds like its not pulling the nozzle up high enough for the following layers

[opaque flax]

Idk if it was me not setting it right or the printer

It is a public use printer too

[jolly aspen]

there isnt like a resident library 3d printer geek just hanging around?

[opaque flax]

No there isn’t

[jolly aspen]

yea, who knows what kind of settings were changed by others

[opaque flax]

That’s why I’m like maybe I’ll just get my own

And I’m limited to only 2 hours at a time

And I want to print things that will take longer

[jolly aspen]

I got a bamboo mini and havent looked back. but i dont really have a need to print anything bigger than 180x180x180

[wild barn]

Hi, i just whant to say Happy New Year 🙂

[jolly aspen]

they do discounts pretty often, you can get one for <200

[opaque flax]

The big thing for me rn is I want to printer a case for my flipper WiFi dev board

Then there’s also a case I can print for the flipper that uses the foam inserts from the packaging so it seemed neat

[jolly aspen]

thats pretty cool

[glass nest]

you too, Ice 🙂

[opaque flax]

Not sure if they would fit on the mini but they prob will

[jolly aspen]

for the fipper? yea it should fit fine

[glass nest]

Mal - If it's just a few bits you need doing, send 'em through. I can print them and send them with your phones

[jolly aspen]

fair point

if you've already the design files, materials are pretty cheap.

[opaque flax]

I’ll send you the design files

I appreciate it!

If it’s too much tho you don’t have to

[glass nest]

I got filament coming out of my ears :p

(Not literally)

[loud marlin]

how... i looking for same solution

[glass nest]

(Maybe literally)

[jolly aspen]

wax filament you say?

[jolly aspen]

keep printing

[opaque flax]

I feel like I should invest in a 3d printer either way

[fossil bane]

hi

[loud marlin]

depend for waht you print wishes you can get for 500 nice printers

[boreal scarab]

I can print wood without any issues 😄

No upgrades needed... god I love this printer

[sand trench]

welp gg element

why fail to login now ;-;

[cloud quiver]

Hi , welcome 😄

[glass nest]

I hate you, beerise

[jolly aspen]

what printer do you have?

[boreal scarab]

I HAD an Ender 3 V2 before. Now I rock an Ender 3 V3 Plus

[boreal scarab]

I love you too

[frozen sleet]

Hey! How did your 2025 start?

[boreal scarab]

Started with it hitting 12:00 AM

[loud marlin]

sterated after midnight

🙂

[frozen sleet]

Lol

[cloud quiver]

Good for now , how are you 🙂 ?

[jolly aspen]

oh nice

[boreal scarab]

If ya ever need abbrasive material crap printed, lemme know. I'd have to be a bulk order if ya want me to ship it to the UK. Don't think 1 tiny part would be worth it XD

[frozen sleet]

I almost immediately spilled a drink on my dress after 12am

Good start

[boreal scarab]

Man, my V2 was GREAT. BL Touch, Swiss all metal hot end, PEI sheet, Olson Ruby Nozzle, stronger bed springs

[cloud quiver]

Well , that symbolizes good luck in my country so you should be good 😄

[boreal scarab]

Now, Ender 3 V3 Plus, comes out of the box with auto bed leveling, PEI Sheet, hardened nozzle

[glass nest]

K1 for lyfe

[boreal scarab]

Oh, and has a camera you can buy that has built in tools in the firmware. Fucking LOVE IT

[loud marlin]

new mask done

[jolly aspen]

auto leveling just solves so many of the main problems with printing

[frozen sleet]

Really? Cool, it should be a great year

[boreal scarab]

No setup, no Pi

[boreal scarab]

Amen!

[jolly aspen]

clean layers

[boreal scarab]

Only thing I have to worry about now is if the filament is damp. Got a dryer, lost the charger, ordered a charger, waiting for that to come in

Oh and lube.

[loud marlin]

bit issues due to geometry but it end nice

[jolly aspen]

thats a big one. i print alot of pet-g

[boreal scarab]

Can't forget to lube your parts

[sand trench]

shadow would like a 3d printer but they got 0 3d printer required projects soooo

[jolly aspen]

printers like pats on the head

[boreal scarab]

HTPLA, PLA, Carbon Fiber, Metal, soon to be wood. But all in PLA

[sand trench]

plus they are kinda expensive

and requires space

[boreal scarab]

https://store.creality.com/products/ender-3-v3-plus-3d-printer

$400

[sand trench]

yes which is about half of shadows monthly income

[boreal scarab]

Oh yah, forgot.... this printer has dual rods

[jolly aspen]

bamboo labs mini - $200

[boreal scarab]

I need to lube those rods....

[jolly aspen]

keep'em shiny and chrome

[boreal scarab]

and smoooth

[loud marlin]

i also need do some main-trance

[boreal scarab]

Rods lubed

[exotic vector]

WHY with all the teaching of exploitability of .PDF's would a cybersecurity teaching site switch the certificates you earn from images to .PDF's

[sand trench]

good question

[boreal scarab]

New filament enroute 😄

[sand trench]

@mossy river any clues why this happened

[jolly aspen]

with the quickness

[sick lance]

You can change it to an image

[mossy river]

We are not distributing malicious certs so why does it matter the format? 😄

It’s like downloading Adobe and worrying that it’s an executable.

Cybersecurity is also about awareness:) what am I downloading? Where am I downloading it from? Is this normal? How can I check that they are not malicious? (Anti-virus, virus total)

[jolly aspen]

sandboxing all certs

[stoic tangle]

Anyone know anything about running a virtual home lab? looking for resources to develop my networking on my resume!

[sand trench]

test test test test:

well seems like it worked

[void tangle]

Its finally new year, The Earth made another successful full rotation without any problem!

[old laurel]

@hasty sand Hi please check my dm when your free

[sand trench]

YAY picture with fastfetch

[glass nest]

👀

[sand trench]

really??? are we not off by a few hours or so due to leap years and stuffs????

[jolly aspen]

damn, that bio is...not concerning at all

[sand trench]

only one thing shadow is missing now on this install is working matrix/element

[void tangle]

We are off by a few days

[crisp creek]

"It's finally New Year! The Earth has completed another successful orbit around the Sun without any issues!"
i made it scientifically accurate

[void tangle]

[floral dragon]

[void tangle]

[jolly aspen]

[thorny mulch]

Which day was your favorite? 😄 I loved the game hacking stuff

[void tangle]

I wish I win a free subscription ticket

[old laurel]

My pronouns??

[sand trench]

well not touching that problem

[loud marlin]

straight to the point lol...

[opaque flax]

Imagine straight up dming 0day

[jolly aspen]

probably a revshell pdf

[mossy river]

I imagine he gets lots of DMs

[sand trench]

shadow has had a few back and forth dm:s with 0day but it is a rare occurence

[opaque flax]

I’m surprised they’re not closed

[opaque flax]

Fair. I get a bunch of unsolicited dms from people in this server and im a nobody

[sand trench]

would be problematic for moderation purposes if they were

[opaque flax]

Yeah but I figure you keep them open to like friends or something

[sand trench]

considering shadow gets a lot of random dm:s and friend requests here yeah

[opaque flax]

Yeah I have 3 in my requests that I just checked for DMs

[sand trench]

26 message requests

19 pending friend requests

[void tangle]

1489 days left.

[sand trench]

until last badge????

[opaque flax]

I try to clean mine up

[void tangle]

Until 1500 D:

[sand trench]

shadow is looking forward to tomorrows streak update for themselves

it will be day 1234

[void tangle]

oooh

almost

[opaque flax]

I lost my streak at like 180 and haven’t gotten back on it

[void tangle]

outch

[mossy river]

🥴

[sand trench]

when shadow started the 365 day streak badge was the largest one

[opaque flax]

Oof

[opaque flax]

I had someone ask me to unmute them lol

[sand trench]

problem is if shadow sends you a dm now it will not end up in there.... or shadow could have tried and push it to 42

[glass nest]

I feel that, blud :p

[upper knoll]

Damn uncle popular

[sand trench]

have got asked that too and generally just point it towards moderators

[opaque flax]

I didn’t realize it until days later

[glass nest]

And that surprises you, Dee? 😄

[upper knoll]

No

You great

[opaque flax]

I don’t look at my DM requests really often

[glass nest]

honesly, most of the FRs are from when I hosted events

[upper knoll]

Ooo

That sounds cool

[sand trench]

neither does shadow

rarely look at them so no idea what gets stuck

[mossy river]

If we’re trying to flex…

[upper knoll]

God dsmn

[glass nest]

Dammit.

[upper knoll]

I know jabba is popular but damn

[rapid merlin]

evening

[opaque flax]

Everybody wants to be Jabbas friend

[glass nest]

I gotta get back on the Live event circuit

[upper knoll]

To be fair can’t blame them jabba is awesome

Always had fun chatting with him

[devout palm]

Can i make it 223?

[rapid merlin]

Evening Jabba, Dee, Esqy, Malarum, Heap

[upper knoll]

Evening

[mossy river]

I don’t think blocked people can add me right? /s

[upper knoll]

It would remove it from your end I believe jabba

[mossy river]

That is my goal

[old laurel]

i am sorry for that but it's smth i think only he can handle it

[upper knoll]

You succeeded god sir

[opaque flax]

What can only he himself handle

[upper knoll]

There is no way you dmd 0day

[glass nest]

Flexing?

[jolly aspen]

that makes sense, I often DM malarum for questions that only uncle can answer
