stfu he is top G

[deft cloak]

may I know you credit card number, expiry date and CVV number @naive kiln

[naive kiln]

You embrace modernity dont you

[keen light]

No one will ever be able to hack me I make all my passwords 50 characters long and then forget them even the KGB will be able to get secrets out of me that I don’t know

[naive kiln]

02/27 and 482

[deft cloak]

yeah same...

[naive kiln]

Go ahead and get you your subscription you earned it kid

[deft cloak]

2FA enabled

[naive kiln]

nope

[deft cloak]

can you tell me last 4 digits and which company is the provider?

[opaque flax]

My password is a hash of my password

[deft cloak]

[wary ocean]

my password is "thats not my password" when scammers cal

[gleaming grove]

Even i dont know my own passwords

[naive kiln]

nerd. so your actual password is a hash of a hash of your password.

[keen light]

Never seen that before probably very secure as well unless the hashed password is password

[deft cloak]

my password goes inside /dev/null

[jolly aspen]

damn, that might actually be nice if made into a manager

[naive kiln]

oh wow I am so cool I use a password manager look at me

[opaque flax]

So when my password gets put into a hashed database it’s a hash of a hash

[crisp creek]

no, he wrote it's "my password"

[gleaming grove]

some one tried to hack my password.
its this your password?
idk

[naive kiln]

Bro I put my passwords on sticky notes and take them everywhere I go

[deft cloak]

big brain time

[exotic vector]

well yeah because I live in 2025

[wary ocean]

i just memorize mine

[jolly aspen]

exactly, but you could use truely easy to remember passwords! passw0rd is back on the menu boys!

[deft cloak]

my password is same for everything...

even my linux password is same

[naive kiln]

NO! we must go back to a time where men werent weak like yourself.

[keen light]

Oh 💀

[opaque flax]

Yeah you get it

[naive kiln]

oh thats a good thing

keep up the good work

[exotic vector]

im not a man lmao

[naive kiln]

ok but your still weak... thats my point

[deft cloak]

pin in my phone is same as pin of my windows laptop which is same as my ATM card pin

[exotic vector]

me weak? you're the one that got your crypto stolen

https://tenor.com/view/the-punisher-frank-castle-punisher-no-frank-castle-no-no-no-no-gif-24489266

[jolly aspen]

i have a list of good passwords, i keep it in a file called rockyou.txt

[wary ocean]

same, but that file is too big so i always pick from the first 5

[naive kiln]

Because I couldnt physically stop them. Thier mental powers were far greater than that of the gods.

[exotic vector]

same its my fav list

[keen light]

I just make my password by mashing my keyboard for 20 seconds and then when I want to get into my account I send a password reset

[naive kiln]

oh bro installed the common password pack

My password is ussually Hello1234

[jolly aspen]

the trick is to keep the file obfuscated, everyone will know what it is if its in a file named 'passwords.txt"

[naive kiln]

nuh uh.

[exotic vector]

thats why mine is named "notpasswords.txt"

[wary ocean]

simply post it on social media that way you can never lose it

[opaque flax]

Put the passwords in an alternate data stream

[gleaming grove]

what would be the best way to hide a password, or even the existence of a password, steganography?

[naive kiln]

why did I not think of that god Im so dumb

[deft cloak]

can anyone teach me how to start bug bounty

[wary ocean]

i did that with my SSN and its so good, i can just go on my account instead of searching through my wallet

[jolly aspen]

access it anywhere in the world

[deft cloak]

I swear.... edited text is not bug booty

[sick lance]

Don't record it?

[gleaming grove]

that too

[jolly aspen]

in neural tissues

[keen light]

Top tip download a bunch of books from project Gutenberg then change them a bit so the hashes are vastly different and then use the sha512 or whatever is the most secure hashing algorithm whos length fits the password requirements. To secure all your accounts

[wary ocean]

put a blanket over it

[naive kiln]

use a easy to remember lengthy phrase so it is easier to just remember it

[keen light]

Then just keep them in a dir called myfavbooks

[naive kiln]

[something].[something]. so on so forth

[jolly aspen]

but how do you know what phrase to pick

[keen light]

Nah soon Elon musk brain link thingy will steal the passwords from your brain

[wary ocean]

i keep clicking your pfp cuz i think its ellen degeneres holding a bottle 😭

[naive kiln]

well it depends on what your most favorite phrases are. for me it would be sigma.ohio.rizz.is.gyatt

[jolly aspen]

nice, separated by periods, no one would ever guess that

[opaque flax]

Neuralink hacking will be great

[wary ocean]

finally my long awaited ability to remote control my phone cuz yk my fingers do too much work

[naive kiln]

it's the letter combinations that count

[jolly aspen]

yea, patterns don't matter at all

[naive kiln]

Then dont make a sentence...

lmfao like its not that hard

[exotic vector]

I wouldnt post commands here, someone might paste it into terminal

[jolly aspen]

help me understand

[gleaming grove]

yeah having a buffer overflow in my brain

[jolly aspen]

im just a wee lad

[opaque flax]

Oh god

[keen light]

Fair

[exotic vector]

isnt that just adhd?

[polar spoke]

some of us check for that 😉

[naive kiln]

let me give you an example and you can put it into the website that will tell you how long it would take to crack the password

[chilly veldt]

I swear you get pinged when someone says hash

[opaque flax]

well then I’ll hash the hash!

[jolly aspen]

im glad there are websites for that, how else would i know

[polar spoke]

lol

[opaque flax]

The. It’ll be stored in a hash of a hash of a hash

[naive kiln]

bonfire.coastline.hence.roster.pebble.humpback

crack that

[polar spoke]

good news (or bad depending on your view), we can check for variable iterations too 🙂

[keen light]

Can’t wait for the future when I will be required by law to have propriety software embedded in my brain

[jolly aspen]

i think i know how you got your crypto stolen

[loud marlin]

im scarred to open #crack or any site alike that

[chilly veldt]

like for real, you just pop up

[loud marlin]

even when i put # he jumps in

[naive kiln]

bonfire.coastline.hence.roster.pebble.humpback ahahhaha that's my password try to crack it

[polar spoke]

i have good timing 🙂

[wary ocean]

and if an EMP ever went off were all screwed

[opaque flax]

Uuuuhhhh I’ll just cry I guess!

[polar spoke]

[wary ocean]

im suppose to be doin this room but chat it simply too enjoyable 😂

[olive portal]

[gleaming grove]

why

[opaque flax]

I use my blood for my second factor

[naive kiln]

ok and dont need one

Im built different

[polar spoke]

don't need MFA

lmao

ok

[topaz topaz]

Hey guys quick question, do the rooms say whether they're premium or not when you visit as a subscriber? I want to make the most of my premium membership and prioritize premium ones if I have the skill level to do so

[olive portal]

LMao

[jolly aspen]

yep

[exotic vector]

they do yes.

[wary ocean]

search for premium rooms and theyll show up

[topaz topaz]

Must be blind as I haven't seen it 😅 thanks!

[jolly aspen]

search filters are your friend

[wary ocean]

most of the ones on the path is paid for if that helps

[naive kiln]

Mr robot taught me everything I need to know about hacking

so I think I'm probally better than everyone here

[topaz topaz]

You're all a wonderful bunch, thank you for your help

[naive kiln]

np bro

[olive portal]

he trolling bro lmao

[naive kiln]

I'm really not.

I dont appreciate you undermining me

[olive portal]

lmao

[wary ocean]

[keen light]

Bro is JiaTan

[topaz topaz]

I'm rewatching mr robot for the second time, therefore I'm x2 better than you

[gleaming grove]

another fight?

[tame bane]

mr robot is an informative series

[topaz topaz]

Don't make me watch it on 2 monitors at the same time

[gleaming grove]

🍿

[polar shale]

2fa over sms is big mistake lol MFA with yubi or authenticator is the way to go

[polar spoke]

agree

[tame bane]

2fa over sms is a big deal in mr robot

[polar spoke]

SMS is not 2fa

[topaz topaz]

It was what kickstarted things for me

[naive kiln]

HUH IMPOSSIBLE. I AM FAR BETTER THAN YOU WILL EVER BEEEEEEEEE

[polar shale]

Lmfso tru

[polar spoke]

its better than nothing

but it's not really a second factor

[exotic vector]

big agree, I heavily sigh when only mobile 2fa is available

[jolly aspen]

written on the botton left corner of the room cards

(SUB TYPE) (ROOM TYPE)

[topaz topaz]

Oh yeah? Imma hit you with the "Hello Friend."

[naive kiln]

I am gonna be in squid game season 3 because I lost all my money in crypto

wish me luck

[polar shale]

I refuse to the use if im storing sensitive data

[polar shale]

Cold storage next time vro

[exotic vector]

UK's DWP uses mobile 2fa, so if you're on benefits for any reason you have no choice.

[polar shale]

Idk why you stored keys on your phone

[keen light]

KeypassXc for maximum security but Bitwarden cloud based for maximum security while still having it avaliable at all times

[polar shale]

Wowew

Thats horrid

Literally no choice

[naive kiln]

print ("Hello World!") I just gained access to you moms facebook account with that and can see all the stuff she wasnt telling you such as the fact you're adopted which she was laughing about in a post

[exotic vector]

yeah I use bitwarden myself

[exotic vector]

it is, its awful lol

[polar shale]

I dont trust providers for pass mgmt

[jolly aspen]

punctuation can do wonders to a sentence

[naive kiln]

I use notepad app but it has 2.3/5 star rating for some odd reason

[opaque flax]

You can self host bitwarden

[polar shale]

Mobile i think me too tho

[keen light]

You can run your own Bitwarden server if wanted to

[polar spoke]

honestly, as long as your master password is decent, it's not a huge deal

[polar shale]

I do just not their service

[naive kiln]

stfu I am edcated at elementary school level stop bully me

[topaz topaz]

Don't make me angry, I just typed rm -rf / and running my virtual machine as we speak. Meet me on the VPN.

[wary ocean]

edcated

[opaque flax]

How do you like self hosting it? I thought about trying it out

[polar spoke]

and with what i've been seeing.... i think it might be safer than trying to hold self custody of a full password vault

[polar shale]

Tru. I engrave ss

[naive kiln]

Ok then. I just sent 101001010101010 to your router and all your traffic is being rerouted to my PC and I can see stuff you shouldnt have on your network.

[keen light]

Just need a server and then follow Bitwarden GitHub for self hosting I think linode has a prebuilt

[polar shale]

Yea i do

[polar shale]

Yes i use linode too but not bitwarden for mgmt

[naive kiln]

Did you know a brain tumor can change a persons behavior?

[opaque flax]

Do you host your bitwarden on prem

[naive kiln]

Oh yea I met your Mom.

[keen light]

Not the French language pack

[topaz topaz]

Green tea or yerba > coffee

[naive kiln]

What's yerba?

[topaz topaz]

I love green tea with local honey but coffee is my lifeline

[wary ocean]

chai lattes are good

[polar shale]

Yerba pretty high in caffeine

[naive kiln]

Well ussually UK people or Australians say "mate"

[opaque flax]

Is anyone truly an American

[olive portal]

[polar shale]

In terms of standards kind of are

[exotic vector]

its a South American drink from what I know, very high in caffeine and you usually keep topping the water up.

[sick lance]

@naive kiln please quit the trolling behaviour.

Or you'll be muted for disturbing the peace

[polar shale]

People in the US do to i just read it more than i say it so idk

[polar shale]

Idk working in tech you can kinda of just get away with whatevrr idk if anyone relates but i just come into work on my own timing lol

[polar shale]

Bro what?

[exotic vector]

I can't relate because getting into tech is difficult xD

[naive kiln]

No like actually I dont have a job

[polar shale]

Well i guess im speaking with experince actyally in the field. I can agree it is very diffcult while you are young and without working experience outside of labbing

[naive kiln]

And I dont do anything but study and I am well enough off that I can just do this forever but I feel I have no purpose and am depressed

[deft cloak]

finally able to subscribe in THM

[wary ocean]

fr, its hell but i feel like once youre in youre in for a while

[deft cloak]

gonna continue my Jr Penetration Testing path

good luck me

😄

[naive kiln]

I am getting Pentest + since THM wants me to

[polar shale]

@exotic vector you are here a lot are you in school currently? Why not work? Helpdesk?

I mean this genuinely im asking

[wary ocean]

im getting into SOC for that exact reason, just to get work experience since it seems more entry and beginner friendly from what ive seen

[exotic vector]

Na im a recent graduate. There's no opportunities in my field or in IT.

[polar shale]

Yea if you wanna just jump straight into Sec this is the route it seems . I started with help desk

[deft cloak]

sponsor me so that I can also get Comptia Pentest+ certificate.. 😄

[naive kiln]

fr I had the biggest oppurtunity to get a goverment job but I got rejected last minute. I was straight depressed for 2 weeks.

[polar shale]

Im sorry for that best of luck friend i know you are skillful

[wary ocean]

ive looked at help desk and even then most of them want mutli year experience to even be qualified

[polar shale]

Sometimes lack of employment breads criminals

[naive kiln]

I can do that?

[naive kiln]

Yea I want to be one sometimes

[deft cloak]

yeah you can

[exotic vector]

Where I live 100%

[polar shale]

Depends ime. Try small business

[naive kiln]

Does it benefit me?

[polar shale]

Yes its actually pretty crazy

[wary ocean]

im kinda kicking myself in the ass cuz i knew i wanted to do cyber security beginning of senior year, which was like early 2023 😭

[deft cloak]

yeah... I am like 1 cm close to become Pablo Escobar

[wary ocean]

i have, and i live in the middle of no where pretty much so finding something local is hell

[exotic vector]

[wary ocean]

thats not an insult

[naive kiln]

ok so you're emo then...

[polar shale]

Ok im.just gonna go

[naive kiln]

@polar shale wait no

I got something to say

I love youuuuuuuuu

[opaque flax]

Have you tried any of the hacker101 ctf challenges yet?

[wary ocean]

not related to hackerone but i gotta still verify my bugcrowd account 😭

[opaque flax]

It’s related enough

[naive kiln]

@wary ocean you're not ok bro

[exotic vector]

I will be, wanna watch their vids tho first.

[opaque flax]

Fair

I haven’t gotten into any actual bug bounties yet

Or tried any

[mossy river]

Hey Anon 👋 I appreciate you being here in the community but I don’t appreciate the tone you use towards our community members.

Do you mind being more positive and trolling less please? It would be greatly appreciated

[exotic vector]

I want to start slowly getting some real world experience so for the first few weeks just gonna dedicate about 30mins to an hour a day and the rest studying

[opaque flax]

Yeah that’s a good plan

[naive kiln]

mb. I will lock in now.

[exotic vector]

I thought I would start because I'm feeling a little plateau.

[opaque flax]

Yeah I get it. I’ve thought about going after those less sought after programs like the ones that can’t offer money

[exotic vector]

That's a good idea

[opaque flax]

There’s less competition there from my outsiders perspective

[exotic vector]

I also have 27 books on hacking and cyber security lol gotta figure out which one I wanna read first lol

[naive kiln]

Do you use e readers? or physical book?

[exotic vector]

I use my computer

[wary ocean]

imo THM doesnt prepare you for bug bounties rather pentesting, which are close but what would be reported in a pentest wont always translate to bug bounties

[keen light]

Anyone here using brtfs

[languid pasture]

I think thm will be more worthwhile.

[naive kiln]

Oh. Doesnt the light emitting from the display hurt your eyes I assume you;re using LCD or OLED. Personally I gotta atleast use blue light filter or smth

I just bought the Kobo Libra colour and am excited to be able to read forever without having my eye sight damaged

[exotic vector]

Yeah which is why I'm going to learn from the other resources I have alongside thm. I started with thm to learn the fundamental skills. And I will continue with thm but it's nice to have variety

[wary ocean]

if you can afford it i think hack the box has a good lengthy program on bug bounties

[exotic vector]

ATM I can't I'm back on free user thm lol

[keen light]

OverTheWire HTB and Malware unicorn are good resource’s

[jolly aspen]

oh man, i was trying to remember OverTheWire, i did alot of those challenges years ago and couldnt remember the name

[wary ocean]

[undone canyon]

anyone one have the issue of not being able to login when using the bitwarden extension, as the page just refreshes over and over

[shut hawk]

yep, staff are aware

[crude warren]

Hi everyone,

I’m planning a career in cybersecurity and currently deciding between two courses on Coursera:

IBM Cybersecurity Analyst Professional Certificate

Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate

My goal is to become a penetration tester. I noticed that the IBM program includes some AI-related content, which makes it seem more up-to-date. However, I’m unsure which course would be a better starting point for my career goals.

I’ve watched several YouTube reviews, but they haven’t been very helpful in making a decision. If anyone has taken these courses or has experience in the cybersecurity field, I’d love to hear your recommendations.

Thanks in advance!

[shut hawk]

seems to be a small 🐛

[undone canyon]

Oh so not just me. I see. ty

[naive violet]

Neither is a pentest certification.
The google cybersecurity one is really prep for CompTIA Sec+

[rapid merlin]

Ohhhh

[crude warren]

IBM added a course about getting ready for CompTIA sec+

[undone canyon]

I've been working in InfoSec for 2 years now, and my advice would be focus on core technical skills, problem solving along with speaking and communication. I know many people who have lots of certs but not ability to tackle a problem. Just my 2 cents.

[grizzled wing]

Cisco has free ethical hacking course

[drowsy dust]

Take the THM pentest route as well

No rushy rushy

[jolly aspen]

loads of free courses

[wild rose]

We found him chasing his tail in the snow. He's home now.

[grizzled wing]

yea, i was doing some of them then forgot to go back

[jolly aspen]

you can just test out of alot of the beginning ones

[heady parrot]

guys i change my mind again i wanna be professinal in cyber security

[grizzled wing]

when you finish they give you fries with cert

[floral hawk]

Whatz stoppin ya?

[jolly aspen]

i wish, its a bait and switch!

[heady parrot]

ngl it is very cool job idk tbh with u idk where to start

[jolly aspen]

what was the original plan?

[heady parrot]

making my website i quit

[grizzled wing]

they switch it with 🥙

[jolly aspen]

yea, cyber is way easier anyways...

[jolly aspen]

is that felafel?

[heady parrot]

nah it is probably not easier but i need guiadence

[floral hawk]

Huh?

[opaque flax]

Cyber is the easiest IT domain to be fair

[floral hawk]

Huh?

[opaque flax]

Tryhackme is great!

[heady parrot]

yea sure agree

[naive violet]

I'd just learn for free elsewhere

[grizzled wing]

it can be or a gyro or anything you wish

[opaque flax]

What happened with making your website?

[grizzled wing]

THM website is back up 🎉

[jolly aspen]

anything?

[heady parrot]

it is to complicated

the project i was attending

[opaque flax]

You should set a smaller goal

Start with a smaller project

[grizzled wing]

like a 🍩 is a sphere mathematics sort of way.

[opaque flax]

Start with making a basic html site

Add some css to it

[heady parrot]

it is just basicly start up company level

[opaque flax]

Maybe then do some js

[heady parrot]

oh ı done that a lot of time ago

[floral hawk]

It is probably bad idea to start with a website. You will collect configuration files like infinity stones. Maybe start with a Telegram bot, you can interactively see the results of your code still, but it's just one language simple codebase.

[jolly aspen]

so its a fries filled pitabread

[heady parrot]

yea the website was to compliacated in both hand backend and frontend..

[floral hawk]

But saying CybSec is easier than Webdev is quite wild in my opinion.

[heady parrot]

and the idea was hard to

[opaque flax]

Everything in tech is hard

[heady parrot]

yea but the idea i was attending like basicly making paypal

or some kinda thing

that probably i couldnt do it

[opaque flax]

That’s difficult for a beginner project definitely

[heady parrot]

i mean i have a experince in react js and js

but not that kind of level

[opaque flax]

I Dunno what to tell you then

[heady parrot]

yea same honestly i just raise white flag

the best thing in life i do is cooking....

[floral hawk]

It's great to start with something interactive that's relatively simple, so not a website. Command line's good start to get handle on the syntax. Then some vanilla JS projects like Advent calendar...

[umbral bay]

👋

[heady parrot]

yea i was checking some projects like that

[opaque flax]

Yeah to get experience with python I made a command line password generator

[heady parrot]

honestly they have no similarity what i was aiming to do

[devout palm]

That's Tim!

I spent last 15 hours with 1 break trying to geolocate a photo for a challenge and came with a conclusion that It's lowkey impossible, where is this type of motivation for actual productive stuff lol

[floral hawk]

Also, why react? People learn that sh*t at schools. If you are self-learnt, it's good to have a unique skill set that they don't have. I personally chose Svelte and later Leptos. Great choices it was.

[heady parrot]

yea only thing i am good at is like productivty is cooking which is sad i want to be best programmer

[glass nest]

Betta - talk to @near hawk . He doesnt need no co-ords. He's a Geoguessr pro.

do you know traversymedia?

[rose tusk]

@shut hawk you playing?

otherwise there's 0 point and ill just mald

[glass nest]

So what new?

😄

[shut hawk]

oi you

[floral hawk]

SvelteKit has excellent tutorial on the web. You can't really mess up frontend with Svelte (unless the last update change it too much)

[shut hawk]

pfp moment

[glass nest]

Haha

[rose tusk]

you both got hats

[heady parrot]

yea unfortuanetly ye coding changes a lot in years

I feel like you should have a range of Mordecai images depicting various emotions

[shut hawk]

[glass nest]

Well.. it would never change from the current one

[floral hawk]

If I were to learn some snakish, there is a game on Steam where you code anything from delivery drones to long range missiles. Its for Python students titled "Joy of Coding". Unless you are intermediate by now, you may want to check it.

[crude warren]

Do you have a suggestion

[opaque flax]

I rarely code so I’m probably not intermediate

[shut hawk]

we do not like to see it

[rose tusk]

what the hell connection you playing on

[heady parrot]

This is one of the food i make

[shut hawk]

oh man dont get me started

[jolly aspen]

that sounds fun

[heady parrot]

plus i was experienced in some other cooking things to deserts and main dishes

[shut hawk]

i live in a fairly dense area and every ISP i've had has been a circus

[rose tusk]

if it makes you feel better

[jolly aspen]

🍟

[floral hawk]

If you like missiles, definitely check it out! I wish something like that existed for me too 😄

[heady parrot]

how does it look

[shut hawk]

it does not

[opaque flax]

I do enjoy missles

[rose tusk]

try community fibre

[opaque flax]

Become your own isp?

[jolly aspen]

chips look a bit soft

[opaque flax]

Make your own internet backbone?

[shut hawk]

I can't get fibre, because my neighbours don't want fibre cable going under

[heady parrot]

oh actually they are good and cruncy

[shut hawk]

don't get me started on that either

lets just say the whole situation is 👎

[heady parrot]

@floral hawk how does the food look? :D it is one of the dishes i make

i make all the thing myself in just one and half hours

[wooden totem]

I've already done everything that requires skills pretty much, it's just that the area in which this photo could be is so large I would have to spend impossible amount of time checking google maps, It's a photo in the middle of nowhere on some farmland with no hills with farmlands all around 50km² btw

[heady parrot]

ngl if i failed cyber security or any cs job and or second optıin i cant become a medince makers i will become chef

what is medince makers called chemist?

[glass nest]

Literally what Blackout.. and Animo (Although I don't know if he's still about) are good at

[floral hawk]

Definitely looks great. I usually do beans with a little bit of tomatoe sauce. Curious what this black bit is, some form of cabbage or beat?

[shut hawk]

Send it over

The first time i was like

i recongise that person

[heady parrot]

it burn a bit

the hardest thing for me a is probably making everything from scratch mayoniese and bread

the hardest part is bread...

bread is such a pain

[exotic vector]

I had burgers for dinner

[heady parrot]

nice

[floral hawk]

We have breadmaker. You just put ingredients in and set on, though it's not very good bread TBH. Making it without the device, can't imagine!

[jolly aspen]

i love making bread

[heady parrot]

yea plus i was lacking some ingredients

[jolly aspen]

eating it is certainly a tier higher

[wary ocean]

in french you just said "bread is such a bread"

[heady parrot]

yea honestly it is hard

[wet quail]

Question
Do Stuff like binary exploitation, reverse engineering , buffer oveflow fall under appsec?

[opaque flax]

I love making fresh pasta

[heady parrot]

pasta is fairley easier than bread

[half girder]

did you just make that up?

[wooden totem]

May I enter your section of messages reserved for private communication

[heady parrot]

i make pasta before like 3-4 times

[wet quail]

Everything seems to be jumbled under "pentesting"

[opaque flax]

Appsec is a thing

[drowsy dust]

I love apples

[half girder]

its just one stone on the road, dont see a reason why it would require a category

[opaque flax]

I know a guy who his job is appsec

It’s in his job title

[rapid merlin]

Everybody loves apples - Raymond Reddington

[opaque flax]

I don’t remember his whole title but he told me he does appsec specifically

[rapid merlin]

appsecexplained?

if so that's arlix / alex from tcm

[opaque flax]

When I see him again I’ll ask

[half girder]

sounds better than "fixing other peoples shit" 😉

[drowsy dust]

I love apples - Sun Tzu

[opaque flax]

Instead of helpdesk I’ll make my title appsec

[shut hawk]

you may

[heady parrot]

well if anyone want to try something i can give recepie like kind of not many people know 100 grams of dates 36 grams of roasted hazelnut and 20 grams of cacoa powder 100ml of mil full fat put in to blender and taste it

[glass nest]

Oh, Mal - i dug out a couple of phones today, but left them at work (the flashing software is on my work laptop)

[heady parrot]

it is such a good thing to make

if u craving desert and easy one

just saying but try it

[wet quail]

https://youtu.be/sXThugPk_zA?si=0PdScV3Iqq5ZkWq

[shut hawk]

ah yes

pentesting vs pentesting

[drowsy dust]

Pentesting vs pentesting .. sounds legit

lol

[wet quail]

From what I've researched people tend to specialize or do a bit of both

[wet quail]

Context obviously

[opaque flax]

Bet!

Do you know how long the prints would be? If you’re not wanting to do the prints don’t worry about it

[glass nest]

honestly, not long. I can get them done over the weekend. The big box will be like... 2 hours, maybe 3?

It'll take longer rummaging through my screw-box to find the right sized screws 😄

[opaque flax]

Oh that’s really kind of you to make it entirely! 🙂

[glass nest]

It's no biggy. trust 🙂

[half girder]

this could have been an explanation and / or statement why its bullshit with breaking everything down to things e.g. "appsec", but no, not this year, ill just let it pass... not poking scrubz, not discussing pointless things, just smile and nod. sounds like a good plan for me ^^ 🧘‍♂️

[glass nest]

(plus, probably gonna make one for myself too :D)

Damn who knew a password brute forcing program was such a good mentor

[glass nest]

It has many heads.

[rapid merlin]

Yeah but you tried three times and it was incorrect

[gleaming grove]

Wait untill John appear

[loud marlin]

you guess right

[opaque flax]

He’s gonna rip me a new one

[floral hawk]

And that does hapen to everyone, really. Every website having its own idea of what safe password looks like, then people either reuse some unniversal thing or keep forgetting the details.

[heady parrot]

guys i need help how can i download linux on my macbook air m1

[rapid merlin]

No I mean when you type in the right password three times and it comes back incorrect but when you reset it, it tells you that was your password

[heady parrot]

or is my computer even strong enough?

[glass nest]

Because it checks the last like.. 10.

[rapid merlin]

I must have been typing it in wrong

Like a typo

[jolly aspen]

it makes me think it is a UI not saying that there was a forced ttl on the password

[glass nest]

more like.. you used the 'New one' a couple of passwords ago

Computers never forget.

[heady parrot]

yea it is 600 pounds..

[crystal mauve]

I just bought this set , for 3 buckeroos

[heady parrot]

plus i need to get monitor and keyboard

[heady parrot]

oh nice def win

[glass nest]

Looks like original ORIGINAL book 😄

[crystal mauve]

I've never read them , just watched the movies

[glass nest]

As with most movie adaptations, the books have a LOT more.

Like Tom Bombadil.

[heady parrot]

uncle what u think about i maybe going to buy mac mini m4 like 8 months later

[crystal mauve]

1965

[glass nest]

Kid - If you like Macs and you'll get your moneys worth, sure.

[heady parrot]

ye macs are good ngl we have a macbook in home that it still runs after more than 10 years

or 9 i am not sure

[glass nest]

you could get a cheaper windows laptop for that, and pop linux on it

[heady parrot]

it is actually same price these days to get equal set up

[glass nest]

I dunno. Feel like you are still paying a premium for a picture of a half-eaten apple, y'know

[heady parrot]

yea but i am sure that macbook air we own it still runs perfectly compare we bough lg it got fuked like 4 years later we bought it

[glass nest]

I'm biased, I've not used a Mac regularly since I was in uni, which was about 20 years ago

[heady parrot]

and it was same price

[heady parrot]

oh yea

iam not saying macbooks are marketing but still fairly good qualtiy but i am not sure about mini m4 bc sice u need at least monitor

but since it is way cheaper than macbooks these days like more than 1200

hell na

it is expensive

[glass nest]

A couple of folk on here have an M4

honestly though, I've just not looked at the price, as I know I'll not buy one.

[heady parrot]

what they think about them i mean i am not sure i probably could buy second hand windows with more grapih quailty

[heady parrot]

yea i am think about buying second hand case

which has good cpu and graphic card

maybe

[nocturne sinew]

my daily use macbook pro came from apple's refurbed store

significantly less than face value for its spec

[heady parrot]

is it function same?

[glass nest]

thing is, 600 is a lot. Especially if it's 8 months of savings for you. Just make sure it's worth it.

[heady parrot]

realy

[heady parrot]

yea sadly since i dont have job i can save it like 9-8 months

[glass nest]

Oh yeah, a refurbed one will cost less. and will likely have warranty on it

[nocturne sinew]

yeah. It's like buying an approved used car from the dealer rather than brand new.
It's had a new battery installed by Apple, and a new SSD, and still has 2 years applecare

[heady parrot]

why do they go refurbed thats the thing i am scared of

[nocturne sinew]

it's something like 64GB ram and 2TB ssd, and i paid just over 1500 gbp for it. a brand new one of the same spec would've been well over 3k

[heady parrot]

yea how much did u pay for it

[glass nest]

So, ask yourself - do you NEED it? could that 600 be used for something else - driving lessons, maybe?

[heady parrot]

uh there is no point of getting driving lessons since the insurance is higher price than car

[glass nest]

or if you spend 300 on a laptop, then you have 300 spare for.. well anything

[nocturne sinew]

I've also bought from dell's refurbished outlet on many many an occasion.

[heady parrot]

thats actually good price

but do you need 2tb i think thats what make the price go down

Fair enough. I mean, still worth learning.

[nocturne sinew]

I need 2TB, i'm a developer

[heady parrot]

yea since some point i will need

[heady parrot]

yea ok nevermind it was stupid question

[glass nest]

devop - I'm seeing 2TB SSDs for about £100. Sound about right?

[heady parrot]

i looked the car prices it is around 2-3k and the insurance is 900 for a year at least for a shitbox

pounds*

the insurance is crazy high in uk i dont know about other countrys

[nocturne sinew]

my first car insurance was 1400 GBP on a 1.4 Polo

[heady parrot]

yea thats whats i am talking about

it is so high

[nocturne sinew]

900 for a year insurance for a learner is CRAZY GOOD

[glass nest]

Yeah, insurance will always be high if it's your first car. But learning earlier, gives you the option.

[nocturne sinew]

Bite their hand off good

esp if you have their telemetry box fitted in your first year.

[heady parrot]

yea i was giving example it will be proabbaly higher for me

[glass nest]

When I was your age, I just got a scooter. I reckon with about £1500 you can get a bike, CBT and gear and be on the road

[heady parrot]

my friend insurance is 900 he is like 30

with a 10 year of driving

[nocturne sinew]

Solid advice. I wonder what a Honda Cub 90 goes for these days 😛

[glass nest]

probably it's actual weight in gold. Those things were tanks

The were, bit then Sinnis bought them and made them from cheap metal, and it was never the same

[heady parrot]

i was considring buying 320d...

[nocturne sinew]

yeah, I've only ever ridden 2 bikes. A cub 90, and a CBR600

[nocturne sinew]

INSANE first car.

Get a VW Up

[glass nest]

Haha

[heady parrot]

yea but i am lacking in both things

...

[nocturne sinew]

Citroen C1

[glass nest]

My 1st car was an old corsa 😄

[heady parrot]

solid car

[nocturne sinew]

mine was a 1.1 saxo

[glass nest]

Standard 1st car, a saxo.

[heady parrot]

i drove a 5 model bwm and i cant tell how good it is(non open to public road of course :) )

[glass nest]

you want something that you'll not be to annoyed at banging up a bit 😄

[nocturne sinew]

hyundai i10, ford ka, toyota aygo, fiat panda, renault clio,..
until you turn 25.

[heady parrot]

yea thats the car most people buy

like one of my friends own hyundai i10

[nocturne sinew]

I've driven SO many different cars, they're kinda just cars to me now, like... i've had beems and mercs and audis and stuff.

[heady parrot]

yea but bwm hit differnt

[opaque flax]

My first car was an old crown Vic police interceptor

Thing was a TANK

[heady parrot]

i drove skoda to

[nocturne sinew]

there is absolutely ZERO value in having a mad nice car as your first car.

it puts your insurance way way higher than it needs to be

[glass nest]

and honestly, it's the best option. I've seen many a young person RUIN their credit score because they wanted to flex an Audi with all the chavvy mods. Then, they struggle to afford it.

[heady parrot]

most probably

[heady parrot]

nah if i find part time job i am getting bwm

[nocturne sinew]

and tbh, you're more likely to end up dead in a suped up mad muscle motor than in something smol and safe

am i allowed to say that?

[heady parrot]

i just need a part time job but no luck of geting one bc no hiring

[glass nest]

Kid - Do what you feel is best, however do REALLY think about buying something like that. I'd LOVE a VW campervan. but the parts for it, if anything goes wrong, cost a fortune. Same with BMWs

[heady parrot]

yea.. but one of my friend is doing mechanic in his own garage

[nocturne sinew]

will he hire you?

[glass nest]

Thats cool. The PARTS still cost a fortune.

[heady parrot]

he dont have a company or anything

it just hobby for him he repair 300 bucks scooters and flip for 1.5k

[heady parrot]

yea mostly old verison of luxury cars

[nocturne sinew]

that sounds like a plausible part time job for you

you'll learn valuable skills

[glass nest]

I can fix like 90% of things on a car/van. Right now, I need a few bits for my suspension. All-in is about £200. and thats not for OEM parts.

[heady parrot]

idk i probbaly couldnt he is risking money to buy parts and scooter

he is getting some parts from bulgaria

bc it is cheaper somehow

[heady parrot]

thats nice

[glass nest]

I'll fit them myself, but if I was to pay a mechanic, it would be probably another £100. So.. £300 for a relatively minor few jobs. And thats on a renault trafic van.

[heady parrot]

i probably couldnt manage to do that

[exotic vector]

The only thing I've fixed is replacing headlights on my old car

[glass nest]

Not even luxury cars though... For real, Sole reason I don't get a VW is because of the parts. Same as your Mac - you're paying a premium for the brand

[heady parrot]

ye

[nocturne sinew]

bet it felt good to do that yourself 🙂

[heady parrot]

yeye replacing the part is pain and tons of money thats why old luxry car is cheap :)

[nocturne sinew]

VW, Audi, Skoda and Seat are all made in the same factories, same chassis and parts, the only difference is the trim level they glue to the outside.

[glass nest]

Well, they might cost more. If the parts aren't available as much.

[heady parrot]

yea ye true

[nocturne sinew]

Lambo and Porsche are also VAG group marques.

[heady parrot]

https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202501027672900. i wanna but something like this

[glass nest]

Again, I'm a random uncle on the internet, Don't need to do what I say, just think with your head and not with your heart.

[heady parrot]

it is a beuty

[heady parrot]

yea i mostly if i get job i will end up buying something like that

[exotic vector]

It was a pain, had to remove the front bumper to remove the unit

[nocturne sinew]

Don't learn to drive in an automatic car.
It's REALLY handy to have the full manual license in the future when you need to hire a transit van to move house or something.

[heady parrot]

it is harder to get manual license like way harder

[nocturne sinew]

worth it.

[heady parrot]

plus i have no experince with left hand

[opaque flax]

Manual is super easy

Unless the uk test is hard?

[heady parrot]

it is easier in europe country right hand..

yea it is harder than getting automatic

[opaque flax]

I was doing manual after 10 minutes in a parking lot

[glass nest]

The car my dad restored 😄

[nocturne sinew]

manual isn't more difficult, it's just a different set of skills.

[exotic vector]

Oh damn!

[stone haven]

Hello guys

[heady parrot]

dam

[nocturne sinew]

WOAH. That's a beaut.

[heady parrot]

yea i try with right hand it is not that bad but

i cant with left hand

[glass nest]

There he is, in his workshop.. from about 3 years ago

[heady parrot]

[nocturne sinew]

All Jags 😄

[nocturne sinew]

[heady parrot]

ur dad is a probbaly cool guy i can feel the aura from the picture

[glass nest]

Oh, and my old motorbike is in the BG of the top pic :p

[opaque flax]

The uk and jags go together like beans and toast

[nocturne sinew]

i wondered whose bike that was 😛

[heady parrot]

anyway i am thinking to get 320d in future

when i get job and save at least 4k

which is like 10 months i suppose i can save up something like that

[glass nest]

That was my 1st bike. Second one is this one:

[heady parrot]

holy shi

[opaque flax]

I need a new bike…

[glass nest]

That was a BEAST. 1050cc
