general

[jolly aspen]

hmm, thats what i was reading. it seemed like scripts are being used to check files for flags etc

[opaque flax]

Yeah I’m focusing elsewhere rn

[jolly aspen]

I was thinking about conceptualizing the idea and was curious if there are any resources where its discussed

[opaque flax]

There is a koth channel

[jolly aspen]

same, not really at the koth stage myself

[opaque flax]

Maybe some Reddit threads

[opaque flax]

I’m at the ultra noob stage

[jolly aspen]

says you are LEGEND 👀

[opaque flax]

I was doing a box and then went out and now I’m want to go back because I realized how I can get my root flag

[jolly aspen]

you get to peep the advanced chennels

[opaque flax]

Levels are meaningless

Yeah I do

I was just discussing with the box with my gf and I realized I just grab the flag w/o becoming root

Or I can modify the needed files to logon as root

[jolly aspen]

focused picture = small creativity, wide picture = large creativity. problemsolving is an ebb and flow of these two things to have a good stream of new ideas for solutions

[opaque flax]

This is why I need a rubber duck to talk to

Plus my gf is very good with Unix so she can help me realize things I may be missing

[jolly aspen]

theres lots of great stories about mathmeticians spending hours and days at the chaulk board only to make the solve while going on a stroll through the park or something

[opaque flax]

Well I realized I was doing the exploit but trying to generate a rev shell and it was executing the command and insta closing the rev shell out and I could run the binary as sudo

So it’s executing the command

So why not just…cat the root flag and output it into my home directory

[jolly aspen]

nice

[opaque flax]

But yeah I need a rubber duck because the amount of times I’ve talked through a problem with someone to come up with a solution in the middle of it

[jolly aspen]

or ride a bike, shit hits me while im at the gym. i try to take lots of breaks if I can.

[opaque flax]

Yeah it’s silly lol

[jolly aspen]

revelations while swimming haha

[opaque flax]

I got so focused on trying to generate a shell that I wasn’t focusing on the wider picture

I either need to go back to ballet class or do rock climbing

[jolly aspen]

plier those solutions bro

the cycle of chat, i mean life

first there is and then

[steep mountain]

How to accept friends request in tryhackme?

[glass kindle]

how many rooms you guys try to complete per night

[blazing granite]

Is not about the number is how much you learn.

[glass kindle]

For yourself , when do you know when you have really learned something

[blazing granite]

when you can explain to somebody else

You can use The Feynman Technique

[glass kindle]

So when you completed a room, did you do something like come back into discord and help people with a room that you previously worked on ?

[snow path]

https://tenor.com/view/kitty-wtf-ew-cute-cat-gif-5684227202751298545

Good morning

[gleaming grove]

For me, I always write down everything; it's useful to take notes

[snow path]

I write down everything but I don’t got it categorized well

[blazing granite]

every room has a concept or many, you can try to explain that to somebody else or to yourself in front of the mirror

[amber hound]

Around 10/12 depends on dificulty usually a whole module or several if on easy. Never count just do until u get tired or bored then take break then return or alternatively return on another day.

[gleaming grove]

10 to 12? Damn

[amber hound]

Well i spend somewhere between 6/10 hours on tryhackme 12 peak average 7

[wild rose]

Ask a mod kindly when they're free

[near sapphire]

Any recommendations on what language I should learn next, I've learned only python so far

[opaque flax]

getting root is always a rush of adrenaline

[cloud quiver]

Hi , welcome 🙂

[steep mountain]

Can you put tryhackme certificate on your resume?

[opaque flax]

you can

idk how much itll help as its not an official certification

[steep mountain]

But it will help though based of them knowing you gained experience, but you'd also have to show experience right?

[pliant cipher]

it shows experience tho

[cloud quiver]

Why not 🙂 ?

Glad to see back in the game 🙂

[opaque flax]

it does show experience

but i wouldnt put it under any sort of official certifications section

[clear jackal]

Sure, but it's not experience or education. It would go under something like an extracurricular section. As others have mentioned, it's also not a certification. So it should not go with actual certification

[steep mountain]

hows that not certification? if its signed by CEO?

[pliant cipher]

how is that not education when they are litterly teaching u gang

[opaque flax]

it's not a proctored certification

theres no testing requirement to get it

you get it for completing the AoC

[pliant cipher]

it not an offical one but u can still on your resume

[clear jackal]

Certificates and Certifications are two different things.

[opaque flax]

i never said you can't the first thing I said is you can

[clear jackal]

Education on a resume refers to High School, College, University, PostGrad, etc

[steep mountain]

Bro I got a certificate by Ben spring CEO Ben spring how is that not a cert?

[opaque flax]

it just doesn't go under any formal certifications section or formal certifications places on a job application or resume

[clear jackal]

As I said previously, certifications and certificates are two separate things. They are not the same. Certificates are not the same as Certifications and should not be represented as such

[clear jackal]

Cool, how do I know you did all the work yourself without outside assistance.

You dont

[pliant cipher]

thats why we have techincal interviews

quiz my boy rn

[steep mountain]

Thats where i show my experience to the ceo's

[cold sparrow]

Short answer, yes. You can put anything on a resume.

[steep mountain]

they gonna want me

[clear jackal]

Certifications are backed by an organization that validates you know the material to a certain level and provides their stamp of approval. THM does not do that

[cold sparrow]

Adding some THM conent to your resume is probably a good thing

[steep mountain]

Bro I don't believe this, where is Ben Spring?

[cold sparrow]

But it depends on the job and be careful to not overdo it

[pliant cipher]

its a certificate why u keep saying certification

[opaque flax]

i put my THM/HTB experience under my personal projects section

[cold sparrow]

I disagree with this

[opaque flax]

with my homelab

[clear jackal]

Who me?

[pliant cipher]

yes

[steep mountain]

So just focus on taking exams like compTIA, Sec+, etc? because that helps stand out on your resume?

[clear jackal]

That's fine

[opaque flax]

theres a balance

[cold sparrow]

THM has their standards. It's up to hiring managers to understand what those standards are, if they care about them

[opaque flax]

it absolutely helps to put personal projects on your resume

but getting an official cert like Sec+ is what HR is going to want

[clear jackal]

I would move them, they aren't your projects. Your projects section should be projects you put together

That's why extracurricular/blanking on other word for it is a good section, basically a catch all of everything else

[opaque flax]

fair point

[pliant cipher]

when should i study for a cert

im a junior in college i be busy

[cold sparrow]

Right now.

[steep mountain]

Sa-

[opaque flax]

right now yeah

[steep mountain]

bro what

[clear jackal]

Towards graduation

[steep mountain]

Bro 2025 just started

[clear jackal]

Second semester senior year typically

[steep mountain]

thats crazy

Wait so when is the best to get internship?

[clear jackal]

That way you get the full "life of the certification"

[clear jackal]

US is typically the summer in between Junior and Senior years

[cold sparrow]

This always depends. As much as you can. You should fill free time. Certs and courses will stand out when you're new

Hiring managers won't care if you got the Security+ yesterday or a year ago. They may care that you have it.

So if you have free time, you should be filling it

[cold sparrow]

Any time and ASAP. You need to add experience to your resume.

[pliant cipher]

what so thm is no the move

[clear jackal]

To be honest, fill it with stuff outside of your degree focus to avoid burnout

[steep mountain]

So I want to break down something, I've been studying and doing hands-on experience on tryhack me. What else do I have to do to fully lock in and be able to study for cert?

[opaque flax]

study the cert material

THM will not prepare you for Sec+

[cold sparrow]

I recommend THM to people all the time. New and old

[steep mountain]

IN THM? or find a updated version?

[opaque flax]

no if you are going for theSec+ find Sec+ cert material for example

[jolly aspen]

Is does somewhat. A lot of the preSec and cyber sec 101 content overlaps quite a bit

[clear jackal]

Fill your time, sure, but make sure to spend time with people and off the computer

[pliant cipher]

can i give u my resume and u tell me what to do or what i need to improve on or add or change

[opaque flax]

fair but CompTIA has such a weird way of wording questions

[clear jackal]

#cyber-and-careers

Redact it and post a copy

[steep mountain]

Okay make sense

[opaque flax]

it's good to study cert materials or like professor messer

[jolly aspen]

Yea, the compTia is subtexted with some jargon specifics

[clear jackal]

You'll need to verify before you can post images

Jan 2, 2025, 3:22 AM

[opaque flax]

take practice tests for the cert too

[steep mountain]

Do you know where you can take practice test ?

[cold sparrow]

Get the cert objectives/outline. It will tell you what you need to know. I usually find the "book" to study for the cert. Then work my way through that. Then I will use the outline to make sure I covered the topic. Sec+ should take 2-3 months depending on your experience and time. But you don't want to be studying for most certs for more than that, because you start forgetting things. I also use a website/app called Brainscape to reinforce knowledge

[opaque flax]

I agree THM can somewhat prepare you for certs but it's not the endall be all

[opaque flax]

google my dude

[clear jackal]

Jason Dion's practice quizzes are good

[opaque flax]

how do you feel about professor Messer?

I used his videos for sec+

[pliant cipher]

o

[jolly aspen]

The content is presented in a more interesting way and format imo. But the formal cert study is needed to bridge the more “administrative” topics of sec+ as well as some of the jargon specifics. They want you to say it their way for sure

[cold sparrow]

Agree. Big fan of the Darril Gibson content for Sec+: https://www.getcertifiedgetahead.com/

[clear jackal]

GCGA is a good book

[opaque flax]

for sure. Funny thing is the google cyber security cert says you're prepared to take sec+ after going through their stuff

you are not

[clear jackal]

Messer's YouTube videos are also really good

And they're free

[opaque flax]

i did get a dscount on my sec+ after it tho

[cold sparrow]

Also, if you get the Sybex or Darril Gibson books, they have practice questions. Gibson also has some interactive questions to practice with

[jolly aspen]

Oh I forgot you can get discounts from watching his streams

[opaque flax]

no from the google cyber cert

[clear jackal]

Security+ is the baseline cybersecurity certification. There really shouldn't be anything before it, specifically for security, imo

[jolly aspen]

Messier used to have them too but it’s been a few years since I took net+ now

[cold sparrow]

Agree. These are great for soft studying. Listen to them during commutes, around the house, etc.

[opaque flax]

i did a lot of background listening for messer

[clear jackal]

To me CC or whatever else people drop is a money grab

[opaque flax]

playing cod while listening

[cold sparrow]

Agree. I've seen some people with A+. CC from ISC2 is becoming more common, but I prefer to see the Sec+

[jolly aspen]

Seems only attractive to google(maybe) and some non techy Hr rep

[steep mountain]

Okay that makes sense, I'll try to first get my CompTia Sec+ first

[opaque flax]

Sec+ is the only cert I currently hold

[pliant cipher]

thats cool

[clear jackal]

So A+ definitely has its place, especially if you're coming from a non-tech(nical) background

[cold sparrow]

Agree. It's not super common for cyber people.

[clear jackal]

It's also not a cyber cert

Yeah, I was more discussing certifications around cyber

[opaque flax]

funny thing. i was asked in my interview if i thought I was "above" getting the a+ since i skipped to the sec+

[clear jackal]

I think we're saying the same thing

[boreal scarab]

Only cert I have is for being a drone pilot lol

[cold sparrow]

The nice thing about A+ is it teaches people what they need to secure. It has some basic security content.

[opaque flax]

then after getting to know my boss he said..."dont get the a+" lol

[clear jackal]

If you have/had zero experience, it's a valid question

[opaque flax]

oh yeah for sure. i just thought it was an interesting question

i answered that no I would be iwlling to get a+

[cold sparrow]

It's a good interview question for a junior person to see how they answer an unexpected adverse question that they should have thought about

[jolly aspen]

I think because compTia does kind of “scaffold” it by allowing you to extend your renewals by getting the cert above A+>net+>sec+

[opaque flax]

yeah for sure

[cold sparrow]

I want to get this one, just for fun

[opaque flax]

but im not going back for a+ now

id rather do another comptia cybercert that renews the sec+

[jolly aspen]

Part 107 isn’t difficult really

[pliant cipher]

why cant i see the plus button on discord

[clear jackal]

Correct, higher tier certs can renew lower tier

[pliant cipher]

trying to upload my rezy

[clear jackal]

You need to verify

[cloud quiver]

https://help.tryhackme.com/en/articles/6495858-discord-how-do-i-verify-my-tryhackme-account

[opaque flax]

agree and i think they wanted to see if i thought i knew more than i did or if i had an ego

[clear jackal]

Post it in #cyber-and-careers when you verify

[cold sparrow]

The other one that I strongly recommend for all tech people is the Network+. Networking is a core skill in IT and Security. You can understand systems well if you are good at networking. Some people prefer the Cisco R&S.

[jolly aspen]

Would that be pentest and cysa?

[opaque flax]

maybe

tbh i don't even know if those are worth it

[clear jackal]

Security+ can be renewed by non-CompTIA certifications and activities

[opaque flax]

i've not heard great thing aboutcomptia certs past the basics

[clear jackal]

CEUs

[opaque flax]

yeah theres like a list of CEUs

[jolly aspen]

Well, they all can with CEU’s

[cold sparrow]

I think my CISSP renewed my Sec+

[clear jackal]

Yep

[jolly aspen]

Ah ok, cool. Didn’t know that

[clear jackal]

GICSP and some other stuff renewed mine

I'm good until 2027

[opaque flax]

yeah my sec+ is good until 2027

[clear jackal]

I need to check GICSP though, that one is going to be a pain I think

[cold sparrow]

Is that SANS?

[clear jackal]

SANS is weird with their stuff

Yeah

[cold sparrow]

Yup

[opaque flax]

did you pay for the SANS cert yourself?

or get a sponsorship for it?

[clear jackal]

Fuck no lol

I rarely swear now, but that deserves one haha

[opaque flax]

i've seen entry level roles asking for SANS like

wtf

[crude stump]

Ain’t sans like 12 grand or something

[clear jackal]

My job paid

[jolly aspen]

Cisco does offer a lot of free learning materials now. At netacad

[clear jackal]

Course was $10k

[cold sparrow]

That's tough. SANS courses are like $8000 these days. And the GSEC is no picnic

[crude stump]

Damn

[clear jackal]

With some other events included

[opaque flax]

the companies asking for that are ridiculous

[crude stump]

What even makes it that much

[opaque flax]

and don't know what they are talking about

[clear jackal]

Reputation

[opaque flax]

or what cyber security is

[crude stump]

They probably pay for it if they really want you on there team

[crude stump]

Crazy

[opaque flax]

thats not happening for entry level roles

it's like listed on their requirements

[cold sparrow]

I agree for entry level. It's nice for experienced IR and appsec people

[opaque flax]

the company probably googled "what are the best cyber security certifications"

[crude stump]

But a requirement is you need to have it to work. Aka they sponsor you no?

[jolly aspen]

But the certificates look like diplomas so that’s nice

[clear jackal]

Which are more than likely written by HR and more than likely have flexibility, so apply anyway

[cold sparrow]

Multuple days of hands on training from very qualified instructors.

[jolly aspen]

Shiny gold stickers too

[opaque flax]

i definitel do apply anyways

i just think its ridiculous

i understand a lot of times these requirements are more of a wishlist

[crude stump]

I mean atleast it’s not talking to a screen

[cold sparrow]

You do not have to be employed or sponsored. Anyone can do it. But it's so expensive, that it's tough to get an individual to pay for themselves

[crude stump]

Oh yeah I would NEVER pay that much for a cert

[jolly aspen]

I don’t know. I’m seeing more and more posts with completely conflicting systems

[opaque flax]

bro job ads are all over the place

[cold sparrow]

The cert is an extra several hundred.

[crude stump]

Plus you can get a job without a cert. depends on the job really

[opaque flax]

they don't know what they want they slap unrealistic requirements that they copy pasted

and call it a day

[cold sparrow]

And a couple more hundred for practice tests

[crude stump]

Psh

[rapid merlin]

Hi

[opaque flax]

i would also only goto SANS if i got it paid for

[crude stump]

And If you fail then what 😭

[opaque flax]

or was ridiculously rich

and if im rich in security then i probably got the cert paid for already

[jolly aspen]

Many are not hiring, the jobs are just to test market and salary

[opaque flax]

yeah i know it sucks

[cold sparrow]

Sometimes a retake is included. Those tests are "open book." There's' a whole thing that happens with people creating "indexes" that tells them where the content is in the book

[jolly aspen]

Receiving a shit ton of apps? Great, lower the salary range and repost

[opaque flax]

it's why im trying to have faith my company is going to keep to what theyre saying with wanting to take me into the infosec side

i dont have much faith

[crude stump]

Ooh open book. Only problem with open book tests is they make it way harder because you got the information

[cold sparrow]

And have AI filter them all

Hack into a bank

[undone pelican]

Yo

Guys I need to know abt the specs for basic penetration testing

And yeah I don't have any laptop or pc, wanna buy one

[knotty cargo]

Im rocking an i5 5th gen laptop with 4gb ram, and a pentium pc thing with 2gb ram as an hmm, real machine i guess

Yh im broke but works

[undone pelican]

Is 4 gb ram is enough

[knotty cargo]

If ur going to run virtual machines, of course not

Not even general computing

8gb is minimum

But yeah running linux as everyday usage it works

[undone pelican]

What abt the processer ahh abt the i5 5th gen

[knotty cargo]

Also depends on usage

I die when i run hashcat

[undone pelican]

Oops..!

[knotty cargo]

So yeah get something decent but not expensive it will work

[undone pelican]

Thanks man.

[knotty cargo]

I guess a 10th gen i5 with 16 gb ran and an external decent gpu will be more than enough

Np

[undone pelican]

Ig so

[floral hawk]

That's very little even for normal usage. You would absolutely have to use minimalist desktop environment. Maybe no desktop at all. And even then, you would be slow.

RAM is extremely cheap, it's not the place to save. Get at least 8Gb and make sure the motherboard has a free module in case you need to upgrade with another 8Gb.

[undone pelican]

So buying a decent lap and a ram strip will be good right??

[knotty cargo]

I always wanted to upgrade the ram but everytime i was about to do i say "but everything works fine" lol

[undone pelican]

Well if you have module just buy a new ram strip nd it's not that expensive yk

[floral hawk]

It doesn't have to be strong. Graphic card is the expensive part, you don't need that. You can have an integrated one even. But 4-8Gb can make your work very difficult whenever using too many tabs at other processes.

[knotty cargo]

If i would invest in a laptop ill make sure its 17 inch because big looks good

[undone pelican]

Not compact so I don't recommend it

[floral hawk]

I had 16Gb device, bought a performance stick with another 16 Gb. It's not difficult to install and costs like $40 if you don't care about frequency and other aspects.

[undone pelican]

Ahh I see

[floral hawk]

Those are usually gaming, hence expensive.

[exotic vector]

cpu cores and ram are the important parts for running virtual machines ontop of everything else you want to do with it.

but steer clear of 13th and 14th gen intel cpus

[undone pelican]

What amd's

[knotty cargo]

Yeah i couldnt find a cheap 17"

[exotic vector]

with amd you're generally fine with any ryzen cpu they all have cores for days

[undone pelican]

Yk amd are made for gaming so

[floral hawk]

I was originally considering 32Gb sticks to get to 64 Gb with two of them. To run LLM locally. Would have probably saved me some money by now.

[undone pelican]

Yeah

[knotty cargo]

Personally i wont choose an amd gpu cuz of compatiblity issues with linux cuz i like linux as main os

[undone pelican]

Can I use mac??

[exotic vector]

what ? amd drivers for their cpus and gpus are inbedded in the kernel they get updated alongside kernel updates.

its nvidia thats the issue with linux

[knotty cargo]

Im gonna upgrade the whole laptop at some point

[floral hawk]

Of course hte problem with laptops is that eventually the cooling will be a problem.

So I dont know how far I would push them.

[knotty cargo]

I opened my laptop for the first time after 9 years before like a month

Surprisingly it was clean

Little dust on the fan blades

I also wanted to replace the hdmi port, but the heatpipe was blocking it and i was too lazy to take the fan out lol

I ordered a few months ago, didnt get my juice either all I got were flags v_v

[glass nest]

I think some hackers might have gotten into the site somehow

[rapid merlin]

[rapid merlin]

Morning

[elder peak]

Morning

[mental fiber]

should I go premium to learn web hacking? just learned about fundamentals

[elder peak]

Sure, also check out port swigger academy

[mental fiber]

thanks

[rapid merlin]

I woke up so late today

[cloud quiver]

You don't need to immediately . Start out with free plan and see how it goes for you 🙂

Majority of the content is free

[mental fiber]

thanks too

[devout palm]

How many hours of sleep?

[rapid merlin]

I couldn’t sleep early last night

Even though I felt like my heart rate was fast and strong it only got to 107

[devout palm]

Yea sometimes you feel like you are having a heart attack

[rapid merlin]

Yeah I do

Only when I’m trying to fall asleep or when I get pissed off

When I was younger I would agonising chest pain from my temper 😆

[devout palm]

Have you seen a doctor?

[rapid merlin]

Yeah

They said I’m fine. My heart does go up and down but I’m okay.

[crisp creek]

i know that feeling, but most of the time it's after a stressful day for me

[rapid merlin]

They said I’m stressed so

Ive been stressed for thirty years

[devout palm]

Yeah possible with stress

[crisp creek]

there it is

[rapid merlin]

I’m feisty so it doesn’t help

I think my adhd makes me like that too

[crisp creek]

have you tried meditation?

[rapid merlin]

Yeah but my brain runs faster so if I meditate I just end up further in my own head

[devout palm]

Classical music and/or walking in nature helps me control my stress

[crisp creek]

thats also good

[lament tendon]

For lying in bed, 107 is very damn fast.

[devout palm]

Or running

[rapid merlin]

I like nature but I don’t like being outside with people

I tried medication but it gave me the shakes

[devout palm]

Me neither. I prefer to be alone most of the time

[rapid merlin]

My nightmares don’t go away at night

[crisp creek]

same here, classical introverts

[rapid merlin]

Infact your nightmares are my dreams 😂

[devout palm]

https://open.spotify.com/track/4FwXLHmaJCnLUitFrPXwJL

Play this and run like the Flash

[lament tendon]

Ah, nightmares. I thought that was your rate while you were still awake.

[rapid merlin]

It’s while I’m falling asleep

As I’m falling asleep my heart rate is going up

Today I’m going to test only one cup of tea

[crisp creek]

did you have traumatic events that are recurring in your dreams?

[rapid merlin]

Yeah but I’ve been having twisted nightmares since I was a child

Some of them seem completed unrelated

Ironically at my most traumatic events in my life, I kept dreaming about heaven

It was really beautiful

[devout palm]

I can't even imagine heaven

[crisp creek]

i feel you, i have similar sleep problems.

[rapid merlin]

When I tell you I was in Aw

[crisp creek]

but most of my nightmares are when i wake up

[devout palm]

If i try to guess like a pure light, nothing else. It makes me more depressive

[rapid merlin]

It was otherworldly

[glass nest]

From historical sources, it appears that 'heaven is a halfpipe'

[rapid merlin]

Oh

[glass nest]

Source:

[devout palm]

Heaven is the computer

[rapid merlin]

I remember at the time I was screaming out to god why would you put me through this pain and then I dreamt about it

[crisp creek]

life is a simulation, good graphics but the gameplay sucks

[exotic vector]

Use to have that song on my little mp3 player while I was at the skatepark in my teens lol

[rapid merlin]

It was an odd dream, everything was white and clean

Pretty

[rapid merlin]

The gameplay is full of cheaters

[devout palm]

I don't know why but i like dark

The space-kind darkness

[rapid merlin]

Everything I own is black 🤣

[devout palm]

You barely see a few stars

[rapid merlin]

I dream about heaven when people die too

[crisp creek]

the reason i always activate dark-mode

[rapid merlin]

Very spooky

😆

[crisp creek]

true, the devs have bad anti-cheat

[devout palm]

xd

[rapid merlin]

Even the devs are cheating

[devout palm]

Why not hacking the life

Is it unethical?

[rapid merlin]

I heard if you can cheat enough to become rich you get away with it

[crisp creek]

you have to find the source code first

[rapid merlin]

Is the game of life just to become the best not getting caught ?

[devout palm]

I am goddamn reverse engineering it

I use math and physics as a disassembler

[rapid merlin]

I’ve been trying to reverse engineer it for years now

[exotic vector]

I hacked my player character

[rapid merlin]

real

[crisp creek]

most of the time, yes. but hard mode doesn't always have to be bad.

[devout palm]

Would you want to respawn

[rapid merlin]

I did all my side quests and forgot to do the main quest

[crisp creek]

other server pls 😄

[devout palm]

What about... rage quitting the game

[glass nest]

surely that means you are powerful enough to smash through the main

[crisp creek]

im just did the mini-games

[rapid merlin]

I completely understand why people rage quit the game

[rapid merlin]

Not quite there yet

[glass nest]

I don't. Theres help out there.

[rapid merlin]

When I do get there I’m gonna have it out with the devs

[devout palm]

When it is too late

There is not

[exotic vector]

did you know that in movies and tv shows, to get the night scenes they usually film in day time and edit the footage so it looks like night time. But I recently watched a fan movie where they did actually film at night, but because they did the night looks fake.

[near sapphire]

do you think if life is actually a game we would ever find out

[glass nest]

Never too late to find help.

[rapid merlin]

Some of us have tried all the help and none of it works

For some of us none of it actually gets better

[glass nest]

There is ALWAYS a way.

Always.

[devout palm]

I can cope, but sad for those who can't

[crisp creek]

maybe you just wake up in Blips and Chitz and have to remove the helmet

[rapid merlin]

I think those people who were harassing me were hoping I would rage quit the game. I live to spite them.

[near sapphire]

wow rick and morty reference

has the new season aired yet?

[devout palm]

That's a win, ig.

[glass nest]

And thats your way. might not be the healthiest way, but it gets you through to the next day.

[crisp creek]

2025, but there was a new trailer 3 weeks ago

[rapid merlin]

I couldn’t go on knowing this is happening to other people. I must stop the cheaters 🙃

[glass nest]

So try the other resources again. Perhaps it might help if you are in a different place. Remember - No silver bullet. You are worth it, so try everything any anything possible

[crisp creek]

yeah, there must be a way

[glass nest]

Also.. clear your mind before walking in. if you THINK it won't work, you will subconciously be fighting against it.

[crisp creek]

maybe the server needs a reboot?

[rapid merlin]

It has been over a year you know. In January last year I quit gaming to focus on this. After twenty years of playing.

I gave up everything I loved doing

[glass nest]

Good. so you are already a few steps along. Keep at it, and have faith in yourself.

Shrug. If those things were having an overall negative impact, then think of it as improving your lifestyle.

[near sapphire]

when did this channel get so philosophical

[crisp creek]

i think you will have success. hard work and focus will be rewarded

[devout palm]

It feels weird to think when you see yourself as a form of energy, like everything else.

And after death, you will be another form of energy.

[glass nest]

Theres nothing wrong with a bit of 'time spent in an unproductive way'. Thats ok. Until it starts affecting you living life

[rapid merlin]

I’m looking into doing write ups. Is there not an option on thm I thought there was

[glass nest]

At which point it start moving towards an 'addiction', which is a different kettle of fish, and can be a result of 'escapism'

The key is to sort out the thing you are escaping FROM.

[rapid merlin]

I was escaping yeah

But I couldn’t ever sort it out

[exotic vector]

We work ourselves so hard. And it's not just the actual jobs it's everything else like shopping, cleaning cooking etc. to put it into perspective at how hard we work ourselves palaeolithic people only worked (including general chores) 6 hours a day total.

So it's good to have time for yourself and it's ok to have few days here and there not doing anything "productive"

[rapid merlin]

And I’m even completely back where I started

If not even further in

[glass nest]

No you're not. You are a few years further, a few years wiser. You took a step to learn a new skill off your own back. That sounds like progress to me.

[rapid merlin]

I worked from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to sleep on my business and they stole it from me.

[crisp creek]

that is progress

[exotic vector]

Yeah :(

[glass nest]

And now you are looking at doing write-ups! So, not only learning something new yourself, but Helping OTHERS to learn the same thing.

[devout palm]

Making write-ups help both you and the reader

I am trying to improve my writing skills by preparing malware analysis reports

[glass nest]

You can not convince me you are in the 'same place when you started'. Life is holistic. Everything is linked.

[exotic vector]

Yeah it does.
I myself personally made a github account so I can start putting my own write ups there

[glass nest]

ok, there are some situations that you don't have control over and feel stuck, but there are other you do have control over, and you can make as much or as little as you can of it. Seems like you are moving along this path pretty well

[rapid merlin]

I had a GitHub account, not used it yet

Don’t really get it

[rapid merlin]

I need to analyse a phone of mine

It was one of the ones they kept accessing

Got to get a vm to run first

[glass nest]

Fae know about getting VMs running 😄

[rapid merlin]

Ah but I’m back here. I was supposed to be moving you know and mysteriously the house got smashed up the day before the viewing.

All that happened around those black hats

They kept me in London and I’m still here because of it

[rapid merlin]

Not even they could help with the computer I’m trying to run it on

[crisp creek]

i've sent you a dm with a good resource for learning it

[rapid merlin]

Yeah but it’s hard. I constantly feel like I’ve woken up from a dream after I stopped playing. Like I woke up from a coma and now I’m 30. I’m an imposter in my own life. I don’t even know how I got to 30.

[glass nest]

Shrug. You got there.

[rose tusk]

elf too

[rapid merlin]

I’m back here at my mums and it’s awful. I want a job but they won’t don’t want me to work.

Because they know they have more control the less I can get.

[pliant cairn]

Hey Hey

[crisp creek]

that doesn't sound like a healthy relationship with your parents

[pliant cairn]

life happened

[rapid merlin]

Yeah it’s not. Even my doctors asked me if I’m okay right now because they know I’m back here.

[shell peak]

How can they stop u from getting a job if u r a grown man?

[devout palm]

She a miss xd

[rapid merlin]

They can trust me

[glass nest]

Which shows that there are people around who do care.

And since when did you become a grown man?

😄

Or did you grow one in your forest..?

[crisp creek]

she got a full beard over night 😄

[rose tusk]

i'll need tips on how to do that too ..

[rapid merlin]

Since I grew the balls to take on a group of black hats 😉

[shell peak]

R u sure thats really whats going on? U may be delusional

[rose tusk]

is that a gaslighting joke

[pliant cairn]

oh sheesh. i want to know the whole story

[rapid merlin]

Did you learn that from my mum

[crisp creek]

of the growing balls or taking the black hats?

[rapid merlin]

The gaslighting was strong with this one

[rose tusk]

did you hear the joke about gaslighting?

[rapid merlin]

No what was it

[rose tusk]

how do you not know the joke about gaslighting? you should know it

[rapid merlin]

😆

[devout palm]

xdd

She already knows smh

[rapid merlin]

So are all the write ups on Reddit?

I mean not Reddit

😆

[devout palm]

Medium?

[rapid merlin]

My brain

[crisp creek]

.exe

[devout palm]

Github?

[rapid merlin]

That’s the one ☝🏻

[devout palm]

exe

[rapid merlin]

Why is nothing sounding right in my brain right now

[crisp creek]

brain.exe stopped functioning

[devout palm]

On the left, there is nothing right. On the right, there is nothing left

[rose tusk]

wrong. this is correct:

[rapid merlin]

I really need to buy something to cover my eyes in the summer

[devout palm]

Like, sunglasses?

[rapid merlin]

Yeah or goggles

[crisp creek]

now only the windows xp shutdown sound is missing

During the summer I bring an umbrella out with me

[rapid merlin]

That’s what I look like when I’m reenacting bird videos

[rapid merlin]

This reminds me of "The operation failed successfully." which makes sense when you logically consider the goal was to fail and it accomplished that objective.

[devout palm]

Seg fault

When you try to find buffer overflow

[crisp creek]

sounds like a fun way to pass some time

[rapid merlin]

I love birds

They’re so goofy

Imagine what the actual age of dinosaurs was like? Considering birds are dinosaurs and they're derpy.

[crisp creek]

omg

[rapid merlin]

It can be really hard when a parent desires the control to help their child for their own self interest or when they try and make the child a representation of themselves, which caters to more control like you indicated. It's an opportunity for parents to learn and have their own growth if they can recognize it.

[rapid merlin]

[rapid merlin]

They’re narcs. I used to make a joke a sociopath and a narc walks into a bar. The joke ends there

[exotic vector]

https://tenor.com/view/friend-bird-bird-friend-just-like-us-us-gif-18251244941165541984

Yep xD
And walking around and you see another just do this:

[rapid merlin]

yes, that is not an easy situation. I wish you well.

[rapid merlin]

awww

[devout palm]

My parents are trying to get me into a physical job

Which i pretty much suck at

[rapid merlin]

She would take constant digs at me, saying I love to argue while starting arguments. She would compare me to my brother with psychosis. She would ask me what was wrong with me. She screamed for years

[crisp creek]

like saying "you won't earn money playing on a computer" ?

[rapid merlin]

I don’t talk to her for two years

[exotic vector]

I'm estranged from mine and I got a text from my mum yesterday 😔

[devout palm]

Exactly

"You are so selfish. 24/7 in front of the computer"

[crisp creek]

my dad used to say the same. i should have never listened to him

[rapid merlin]

She has links to people in the council. I won’t ever escape unless I can leave England

[devout palm]

"What have you done so far?"

[rapid merlin]

Your lived experience from that might give you social engineering skills, learning to work with complex people and scenarios

[devout palm]

"You didn't supply any benefits to the family"

[rapid merlin]

He’s watching animal crossing on YouTube

[crisp creek]

"best workout is when you work in construction"

[rapid merlin]

😆

[rapid merlin]

She started calling me a narc, I had to ask the doctors to check.

[exotic vector]

Awwww he's so cute

[crisp creek]

gaslighting 101

[rapid merlin]

I think I have some toxic traits from being here for years but I’m working on them.

[rapid merlin]

A person who legit has NPD would not need to ask a doctor, as they would be perfect in their mind 🙂

[devout palm]

An everytime we are talking about a topic, religion is directly involved

[crisp creek]

where?

[devout palm]

Family

[exotic vector]

Oof..... That's not fun

[crisp creek]

aaah, you mean in your family, got it

thought you meant here in the chat

[rapid merlin]

I hear ya, being perfect would be an interesting fantasy

[devout palm]

Talking for an hour just to imply the importance of praying to god

I am a really good listener, but i can't stand when it is a fricking hour

[exotic vector]

Stuff like that is why my partner fled Poland.

[rapid merlin]

You could not tell her anything negative about herself but she would tell you how crap you were24/7

[crisp creek]

like Cell from DBZ (abrigded) said: "you're either perfect or you're not me"

[rapid merlin]

She would kick off and you would never hear the end of it

[devout palm]

I don't know how my parents are always certain, in the universe of uncertainty

They don't change their minds

[rapid merlin]

Yes, that is super draining. I really hope you take time for yourself to heal any burnout with self care from absorbing those sort of interactions

[rapid merlin]

That’s really powerful hope

[crisp creek]

i wouldn't have the energy to have her near me 24/7

[rapid merlin]

They never give up hope

[rapid merlin]

I never thought I would ever be able to leave here

[devout palm]

Also when i tell them that i am going to see a psychiatric, they say "You are good, just listen to music or sm"

[crisp creek]

you will, i believe in you. don't give up

[crisp creek]

so they deny your mental health?

[devout palm]

Apparently

[rapid merlin]

I moved out in 2021

[crisp creek]

but you're still in UK and wanted to leave there too?

[rapid merlin]

Yeah

[crisp creek]

don't listen to them 😅

[rapid merlin]

I’m learning Norwegian

[crisp creek]

ah, got it

[crisp creek]

reverse viking raid

[devout palm]

I don't

They don't see the potential in me

I do

[rapid merlin]

I was watching vanhalla the other day on Netflix and the Brits go in there with the poison. I thought it was going to be some made up action movie

[crisp creek]

that's mean and just like my dad used to be

[devout palm]

I am planning to go abroad as well. But it is very hard if you are in a Non-EU country

[rapid merlin]

I think mine can see something in me and that’s why they’ve tried to hard to lock me down.

[crisp creek]

didn't the series end, when ragnar, bjoern and ivar died? 😄

[rapid merlin]

They know I’ll up and leave the first chance I get

[rapid merlin]

I stopped watching after the first two episodes because I was so mad at the Brits 😆

[rapid merlin]

I think moving is always hard no matter where you try to go now days

[crisp creek]

i think i only watched the prequel, before the vikings first arrived in england

[rapid merlin]

My family went turkey recently

In 2024

[devout palm]

Istanbul?

[rapid merlin]

They loved it

I think it was actually

They went in some cars and with water guns

I love Turkish food, it’s one of my favourites

[devout palm]

Yeah it is good if you have money

There are good places, but for living it sucks

Economy, job market etc.

Education

[rapid merlin]

Yeah

A lot of influencers make money online and then move to the cheaper countries

[devout palm]

There are near to 0 events here

[rapid merlin]

I knew someone in Egypt who was getting paid British pound

[devout palm]

My friend is studying in Finland and he is going to a lot of events there

[rapid merlin]

Finland is pretty

I like green countries

[devout palm]

It is worth it to be frozen there xd

[rapid merlin]

I need mountains and rivers in my life

I don’t do well in the sun, I’m as pale as snow

Ya can’t even tell the difference see

If I go in the sun I just burn

[devout palm]

I definitely can't

[bleak flume]

[rapid merlin]

I used to say if I wanted more sun I would turn the contrast up on my computer screen

[rapid merlin]

I really want to make one of these upside down like that 🙂

[bleak flume]

How many of you know how to find a person and their info from a single picture

[rapid merlin]

Same, spook the neighbours

[shut hawk]

do you see yourself in a mirror?

[rapid merlin]

that's an interesting question, what makes you ask?

[bleak flume]

I just wanna know if y’all are capable of doing it and if so I wanna learn that way

[shut hawk]

That depends on the opsec of the person

[bleak flume]

I know the persons name and face

[shut hawk]

Say I give you "Elon Musk"

[rapid merlin]

without context, I would be a bit concerned that we share skills on how to accidentally dox someone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doxing

[bleak flume]

Alright let me spice it up for you, there is a women in my life that’s messed me up mentally there is a person she is talking to and was talking to throughout our relationship, I just want all his info 🦁 I have his Facebook I just wanna know addresses and numbers

[cloud quiver]

@sick lance

[exotic vector]

we cant help you with that, as that is illegal/unethical

[glass nest]

Thats a horrible motivation

[bleak flume]

🦁 revenge

[glass nest]

as I said. horrible.

[opaque flax]

“I just wanna talk to him”

[bleak flume]

🦁 exactly

[rapid merlin]

No why ? 👁️👄👁️

[exotic vector]

and we cant help with that

[opaque flax]

I’m not on your side

[glass nest]

I must have miscommunicated. It's bad. A total waste of your time.

[bleak flume]

🤷🏻 it’s aight I’ll get his info

[rapid merlin]

that sounds like a painful experience you had to go through 😦

[bleak flume]

She’s pregnant

🦁

[glass nest]

Yeah. And honestly 'revenge' does not make anything better.

Best thing to do is to live your life as best you can for you.

[bleak flume]

Sadness and sorrow that turned to rage after multiple years of hard living

[rapid merlin]

Was you actually in a relationship ?

[bleak flume]

Yeah

My life has not been an easy one

[rapid merlin]

I remember there was this guy from my old address who told people I was his girlfriend.

[shut hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/dracula-vampire-gif-12706215853670391392

[glass nest]

And rage can be turned into something positive rather than wasting time on something that will ultimately turn out to be pointless. With a risk of being arrested yourself.

[rapid merlin]

And I didn’t even know him

[rapid merlin]

Caught in 4K

That’s me

[bleak flume]

Been couch surfing and homeless since 16 I finally got a place with said person I was dating and now we aren’t together but we are on a lease together

And tryna figure out if it’s my kid or the guy she was texting

[glass nest]

And instead of stablising your situation, your response is to focus on attempting to annoy someone else?

[rapid merlin]

You’re going to make the situation worse

[exotic vector]

its better to rise above it and get yourself sorted out and live your life.

[glass nest]

Sorry this isnt the advice you were expecting, but it's probably the advice you need.

[rapid merlin]

Like an adult, you sit her down and tell her you want a dna test and if it’s not yours. You’re going to leave and level up 👌

[bleak flume]

🤷🏻 I come from the streets non the less, people who were nothing but strangers turned into brothers anything and most stuff that happened was illegal but I had to survive

[rapid merlin]

Levelling up is the best revenge

[shell peak]

In whos home were u couch surfing

[bleak flume]

Whose wasn’t I?

[glass nest]

i think you'd be surpised at how many people come 'from the streets', and don't spend their time and effort trying to get back at their ex.

[bleak flume]

I’ve been all across the states

[shell peak]

How were u homeless at 16

[exotic vector]

my partner is from the streets, I met her when she was in supported acom now we are renting our own place and are planning a wedding.

[bleak flume]

Oh I ain’t getting back at my ex, I’m getting back at the guy, wanna give him the meanest back shots of his life

[shut hawk]

I'm sorry to hear about your situation, it must be horrible. But going after this person is only going to make your situation 10x worse, it's not worth it

[glass nest]

Still seems petty

[bleak flume]

Went to job corps for IT at 16 then they kicked everyone out and I had no where to go

[rapid merlin]

It tastes two to tango. I don’t know why people always wanna blame one person.

Cheating takes two 👌

[shell peak]

I dont understand what u r saying but it doesnt matter

[bleak flume]

Yeah and it was those 2 🤣

I ain’t gonna bash on a woman

[rapid merlin]

But it’s like you’re only blaming him

[shell peak]

If i have a wife and i bang some other chick its not my fault? Great

[bleak flume]

He was the one who was texting and kept pushing for her affection knowing she was in a relationship

[mossy river]

This is illegal and against our community #rules

[bleak flume]

🦁 and yet things like buying bricks of coke and selling drugs and guns are illegal too, but people still do it

🤷🏻

[rapid merlin]

She replied ?

[mossy river]

Let me rephrase- this is against our community rules. This discussion needs to stop, if it continues you will be removed 🙂

[bleak flume]

Ofc because “he’s just a friend”

[shell peak]

Ig u didnt satisfy her needs buddy

[stoic heath]

hello, i finished making a Reverse engineering room but when i try to make it public it says i need to provied an official write up, i see a lot of rooms with no writeups can't i do that too?

[shell peak]

Finally some new RE rooms

[chilly veldt]

morning

[stoic heath]

Sorry to say it, but its for beginners i made Reverse101 inspired by PWN101

[mossy river]

If it requires you to submit a write-up, you need add one to submit it unfortunately.

[bleak flume]

In the aspect of things I really didn’t because once she said she was pregnant I picked up more shift at work to get more money saved and stuff I was working 120 hours every 2 weeks, but then I was in the wrong for never being home when I was trying to create a future for sacrificing time

[stoic heath]

ight, thanks !

A former colleague just reached out to me asking me about the Bitlocker pin of my old work laptop so they can set it up temporarily for a new person they hired.
I omega-distrust this, but it's from that persons official work email.

[bleak flume]

She seeks attention but then it all crumbled when she said the kid may not even be mine 🤷🏻

[shell peak]

So wheres the kid cuh

[bleak flume]

Still in her stomach

[shell peak]

Wait did she lie to u about being pregnant or she cheated with u with ur baby in her stomach ?

Either way its fucked up

[bleak flume]

🦉 she’s pregnant, it’s just wether or not it’s mine or the other guys

[shell peak]

Damn well praying u dont have to pay child support

[bleak flume]

But at first she said it was mine then later she said it might not be mine

[rough tulip]

Getting all caught up and this was a pretty good way to start the new year 😄

[stoic heath]

one more question guys do i need to include the answers to each task in the official writeup or i can just explain the steps to get the answers ?

[shell peak]

Request a dna swab

[mossy river]

No, write-ups cannot include answers:)

[stoic heath]

GREAT !

[bleak flume]

Oh I will, but she won’t do anything till baby is born

So time is all it takes

[shell peak]

Wish u best of luck with it man

[bleak flume]

Like I said many things are illegal but people still do em, it’s very easy to a “pew-pew” from an anonymous person

🤣

[rapid merlin]

dark humour coping through a difficult situation 🙂

[bleak flume]

As always

I attempted suicide and died and was brought back because someone found me a little after on the side of the road, first thing I did after waking up from my 3 week coma was crack a joke with the doctor

But that was before the relationship and pregnancy thing

[rapid merlin]

This is where I remind myself this channel is PG-13 rated 😮

@bleak flume some of my favourite things about THM is the social belonging and self esteem from working through rooms on the site 🙂

[bleak flume]

Oh I’ll get there and do some stuff soon, one of the reasons I went to Jobcorps for IT was to learn this stuff but didn’t get a chance

[rapid merlin]

Success seems to hide behind walls of failure, at least that's my experience 😄

afternoon

[rapid merlin]

Just explanations right. I’m going to do some write ups, do you have any tips please and what the rules are

[wary root]

When you RDP to a Windows machine and get a monstrosity of a keyboard design (USA), how do you guys deal with it? I can't do shit, unless I copy things from my host and it's just awful

[sick lance]

Change it?

[loud marlin]

there is option in area of accessibility thing. or smth like that is called

[wary root]

I tried, but it waited for windows update

so I assumed boxes where locked

[loud marlin]

keyboard is bit fracked up to get it right. it thing of try and error

[loud marlin]

w8. you rdp to thm ?

[wary root]

yea?

[loud marlin]

oooh

[mossy river]

Treat it as a real engagement- you don't always get the keyboard layout you want 😄

[loud marlin]

that is bit different story

[wary root]

🙂

[loud marlin]

i had in mind that is some personal machine thing or home lab

[wary root]

naah im not that stupid

but trying to write PS with us keyboard

is like

solving worldpeace

[loud marlin]

i am atm 🙂 in case that you are not USA/ENG by default, then you need to adapt 🙂

[sick lance]

Export language pack > transfer to VM > transfer to Windows machine> import

[loud marlin]

IDK in details of THM windows targets and so. there is some talk that they are not "online" for rest of world or smth like that. so that put some settings that might can't be changed if online is needed

[sick lance]

They don't have an external network.

[loud marlin]

@wary root this yea

[wary root]

yyyyyyyyyep

[loud marlin]

what is not so bad thing tbh. when you find "solution" that fit you'r need. you will never had issue to solve it 🙂

[sick lance]

Why wasn't the device reset when you returned it?

That's a massive red flag. (for me anyway)

[lament tendon]

Yea, same.

I contacted my former superior.

Also not giving out the PIN.

Am just a bit surprised that that seems to come from their proper email, return mail is also correct.

[rapid merlin]

I omega-distrust this, but it's from that persons official work email. Work emails are incredibly easy to compromise, all it takes is one click of a link and the email is gone; if they have lax security measures, depending on the company, they might honestly not even have to get them to click on a link

[wary root]

I just got instance termination This happens as a result of a cost saving measure we implement to ensure that we can consistently give access to more machines and more content.

wth

[sick lance]

#site-support please.

[wary root]

dont need support

[rapid merlin]

....

[errant fossil]

even if it is the write-up on my room?

[mossy river]

If it's public, yes. All rooms have to go through our quality assurance process.

[rapid merlin]

I have had that happen before. Although rare it was a bit of a surprise. Thankfully was able to reconnect and try again without issue. I guess VPN could be an alternative as well.

[mossy river]

I believe it is listed on the website when you go to submit a write-up but it's something on the lines of only include steps to get the answers:)

[errant fossil]

alr, so ill adjust it accordingly, i have submitted mine for review. Thanks for the heads up

[torn linden]

[sick lance]

Good afternoon.

[mossy river]

You will have to censor the answers even if they are in a screenshot:)

[errant fossil]

alrighty, I'll get that done

Thanks again

[sick lance]

Why was that a direct answer.

[knotty cargo]

it took me full 2 hours to replace a phone's screen for 12$ is it worth the work

[sick lance]

I genuinely hate the mobile app for Discord.

[knotty cargo]

I rarely use my laptop for discord

Only for calls

[rapid merlin]

I rarely ever use my phone, in fact I have not seen it in months LOL

[knotty cargo]

Bro has a laptop in his pocket 💀

[torn linden]

i wanted to know why burpsuite remove spider and some other options from new version?

[rapid merlin]

Check the changelog??

[sick lance]

It was replaced with crawler.

[sick lance]

Also please don't post our message in multiple channels. 😄

[boreal scarab]

[knotty cargo]

Based on what country

[torn linden]

sorry i just wanted a quick response

[boreal scarab]

Based on United States.

[knotty cargo]

Oh yea usa this dosent work

[rugged nacelle]

yesterday was a holiday can I get my streak reset. I was not hungover.

[knotty cargo]

In jordan a house rent is ~200$ not 2000$

[rapid merlin]

this could be a revolutionary motivational method called LaserCatMethod™

[boreal scarab]

Nooo. You'd make more in 2 hours, by 3 dollars, with the national minimum wage

[boreal scarab]

cries in NJ/NYC

[knotty cargo]

I also didnt mention it took me more 2 hours in the buses to buy the screen lol

[boreal scarab]

Here, I mean, never had my screen replaced. But I'd guess they'd charge like $50

[knotty cargo]

Life's hard

LH

[knotty cargo]

Nope

[boreal scarab]

https://swappa.com/blog/broken-screen-repair-cost/

I stand corrected

[knotty cargo]

An iphone 13 screen in usa not less than 300$

[boreal scarab]

But it's also apple, who screw you every which way

[knotty cargo]

Yeah..

[boreal scarab]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4WDRyrzVmw

[knotty cargo]

Let me pull up my part price menu

It is bad i know lol

Btw the first ip 13 option is lcd not oled

[boreal scarab]

Bad?

Replace my shit lmao. Cheaper than what they cost here

[knotty cargo]

Yeah replacing oled with LCD is not good

I take 10-20 for labor

[boreal scarab]

USD, or Jordan money?

[knotty cargo]

Also, these are in JOD, not usd

1JOD = 1.3$ something like that

But still way cheaper

Iphone 12 pro max replacment is 100$

Yeah cheaper than 486$

[boreal scarab]

Impressive Jordan. $1 JOD is $1.41 USD

[mossy river]

Honestly replacing iPhone screens is so easy

[willow iron]

Can you share the flags in your writeups (for old thm ctf boxes) ?

[knotty cargo]

Wow, it increased in price since i last checked

[knotty cargo]

Not on 12 and up

[mossy river]

We advise against including any flags or answers in write-ups as it may result in your write-up being taken down.

[knotty cargo]

Because the screen is flush with the frame

I've had no issues with replacing iPhone screens, although you might have difficulty with newer ones because of needing to transfer the serial numbers from the old parts over
