Terrible latency.

[modest thicket]

I'll set the nodes to active-active..

[glass nest]

they can't 'hack you' if you're not online.

[upper knoll]

Pretty sure starlink has some horrid vulnerabilities

The safest system is one that’s never connected to the internet

[modest thicket]

Alright.. You guys have given me some great tips.

[modest thicket]

thanks

Also: consider your threat model

[opaque flax]

If it goes on the internet someone can own it

[rugged kayak]

bro why dont you just factory reset every device and call your isp or someone

[modest thicket]

Realistically, I've been ratted by the Feds for years..

[sick lance]

If it's on the internet, good luck getting it removed.

[modest thicket]

I had the FBI come to my house when I was 14..

[naive violet]

For what reason?

[mossy river]

I am also curious

[glass nest]

Are you writing a book?

[upper knoll]

What reason did you have the feds knocking your door in

[naive violet]

Discovered a new clean alternative to crude oil?

[glass nest]

Polite oil.

[upper knoll]

[rugged kayak]

or engine running on water

[exotic vector]

clean oil ™️

[karmic hemlock]

Anyone who discovers an oil alternative probably wouldnt be living

[modest thicket]

They "say" it was because my mom used a counterfeit $100 bill

[jolly iron]

smooth oil

[upper knoll]

Wassup trump

[sick lance]

Eh, FBI won't turn up for that.

What a cop out.

[upper knoll]

^^^

[modest thicket]

I was also using Cybergate

Locally

[upper knoll]

That would be the IRS or secret service if anything

[glass nest]

Sounds like a good intro to a story

[opaque flax]

The fbi doesn’t do counterfeit currency investigations anyway

[naive violet]

What's that?

[modest thicket]

Rat tool

[sick lance]

I was about to say.

[modest thicket]

I never ratted anybody though

thats illegal

[sick lance]

So why did you use it?

[modest thicket]

Because I planned on ratting people

But I couldnt figure out how to get it set up, I was 14

[mossy river]

So you're 19?

FBI doesn't follow people because they couldn't setup RAT tools locally

[sick lance]

Ok, the FBI won't turn up because you have it, and not used it.

You're either lying, or not telling us the real answer. 😄

[upper knoll]

^

[glass nest]

I reckon the former.

[upper knoll]

Or someone’s mom hired some fake cops to scare you

[modest thicket]

Lmao, I told you the truth

Idk why they were there. They questioned my mom about a $100 counterfeit

So I presume it was for that reason

[shell peak]

Hes obv larping

[upper knoll]

We’ve had a lot of people recently just full on trolling

[opaque flax]

It’s daily at this point

[exotic vector]

yep, its been a cursed few weeks

[upper knoll]

Is it just a new year thing?

[opaque flax]

I think it’s advent of cyber

[modest thicket]

The unbelievers shun me

Cast me out as a liar

[opaque flax]

It just brought lots of new people

Cause it’s bs

[modest thicket]

Gollum sad

Potato potato.

We aren’t dumb bro

[exotic vector]

I laughed at gollum sad, im sorry

[modest thicket]

You know what, I don't need you to believe me! Ree!

DX

[glass nest]

Sigh.

[upper knoll]

I’m not even American and I know the secret service are responsible for counterfeiting investigations

[shell peak]

Is this a bot

[modest thicket]

Even if they are, I've read they take counterfeiting very seriously

[upper knoll]

But that’s not the FBI

And they don’t care about some rando using 100 once

[opaque flax]

Not only they’ll only come out for large sums. Local law enforcement will handle small things like $100

[glass nest]

I read about a school that trains kids to be wizards.

[upper knoll]

Literally bigger fish to fry

[upper knoll]

Was getting there

[sick lance]

I like to ride the train.

[exotic vector]

I got excited about the prospect of a school that teaches kids how to drive trains then I got sad then I realised

[glass nest]

Only if the crossing is programmed correctly

[mossy river]

It's okay to be concerned about your online presence @modest thicket
Everyone is entitled to be concerned about their privacy and act to protect their data.

But, I wouldn't be too worried about the FBI or other government organisations following you, especially if you haven't broken a law or plan on breaking federal law. Please talk to a trusted adult if you are worried because I wouldn't want it to eat you up.

It's doesn't matter if anyone here believes you or not, what matters is that you are doing okay both physically and mentally.

[opaque flax]

You ever been on it? Pretty cooooool

Yea this was quite some time ago.. I'm not 19

Do you know the enrollment fee?

Harry you are a wizard

[opaque flax]

What about the wizarding schools IN The US

My partner is playing Hogworts Legacy right now, actually.

[hasty palm]

have not been here for a long time but managed to get myself to rank13

[opaque flax]

Great game

[glass nest]

Cracking game. Not a lot of replayability though, which is a shame.

[mossy river]

Spent £30 on it, played it for 10 minutes, got incredibly bored because of all the walking and cutscenes.
Maybe I'll try it again when I have actual time to relax

[clear jackal]

I thought there was like 3 separate endings or an ending per house?

[sick lance]

Yeah, it does have alot of talking and not enough action to begin with.

[clear jackal]

I haven't played yet

[glass nest]

Theres a mission towards the start - the 'Jackdaw' misison, which is different per house

but thats it.

[opaque flax]

I liked using the death spell

[modest thicket]

Hear me out, HP with a LOTR: Conquest game mode.

[glass nest]

Moose - there are 3 endings, but thats just one of those 'Save before you choose' things

[modest thicket]

Would help player retention

Nah, HP in the style of an MMORPG.

[modest thicket]

Yea, this would be extremely popular, and successful if done correctly.

[glass nest]

Yeah. Like GTA online, but Magic 😄

[sick lance]

Nah, GTA isn't in the style of an MMORPG.

Traditionally.

I'm talking more FFXIV/WoW.

[modest thicket]

I wonder when MMORPG's will reach VR

[glass nest]

Not traditionally, but it does have collectables, raids/heists, dungeons/missions.

[opaque flax]

Harry Potter with mod menus

Like gta online

Mal - You can Mod Hogwarts legacy

[sick lance]

All I play on VR is Superhot.

[modest thicket]

Woz loves HP

Woz brought the Color 🌈

Ah, so let me fix some things,

History*

A little rude don't you think?

(Not talking down, just helping fix some broken english) 😄

[dark frost]

[boreal scarab]

Welcome!

[devout palm]

English is your native language

1 Step ahead of people whose theirs are not

[dark frost]

i accept every critics , it's my way to learn

[boreal scarab]

Yes, which is why I'm helping fix some things. Was joking at first with the English book, but after they said they don't have an English book and was taught otherwise, learned they weren't native English speaking, so was helping out a bit

[errant fossil]

last time i watched HP was in 2015 so i have to catch up again. even forgot about most of it

[errant fossil]

i rarely 100% a game tbh, takes too long for most games

@errant fossil No advertising please.

[boreal scarab]

*Are you a hacker group?

FluffMe was an old mod here, it used to be Esqy Clan when @glass nest was a mod. It's more of a fan kind of thing. We were planning to make it into a teaching clan, @gray sonnet is in college right now, so little hard.

[sick lance]

Cult. 😄

[opaque flax]

i wanted to play more after i completed the story but it was boring

[sick lance]

It's a cult.

[boreal scarab]

Clan

i usually always get bored with collectibles

oh my bad, Thanks for letting me know

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @sick lance (current: #1 - 3202)

[glass nest]

Yeah.. I never felt comfortable with the whole 'Esqy Clan' thing

[opaque flax]

you had a clan?

[boreal scarab]

Also, when you finish a sentence like: "What is Fluff Clan?" You don't put a , in it.
The sentence would look like this:

"What is Fluff Clan? Are you a hacker group?"

[exotic vector]

sounds like a cool cult clan

Hey guys, how do I get the ip Adress for the Agent sudo ctf

[dark frost]

i like your FluffClan message 🙂 i think , i am sharing the same energie

[opaque flax]

ah makes sense

[devout palm]

I heard he needed some help as well. But i couldn't spare a few of my earnings, as i am a college student too. Can you tell him that i fully support him emotionally (Even if not needed) and that i would try to help with anything?

I learnt some Russian thanks to counter strike

I have so many assignments…

[boreal scarab]

@dark frost FYI, you'll see a lot of different ways of spelling stuff, or ways of speaking here.

The British like to put U's in words like color, so it'll look like colour.
I, and some others like to say y'all, which is "You all". Which for example:

"Y'all want some steak?" Which kind of translate to "You guys want some steak?"

no one knows

its just

genz i guess

[dark frost]

home made ?

[grizzled wing]

i learned today that Parrot OS does in fact need the 4GB part of the requirements , otherwise you get just 4 hacking tools (very basic stuff) and end up with basic linux desktop. at least now my old HP laptop looks cool instead of VanillaOS

[rapid merlin]

Not today unfortunately

I cook from scratch enough, taking a break

😆

[dark frost]

i had steaks and fries tonight 🙂

[grizzled wing]

when someone types fries R0n1n appears

[dark frost]

and a soup

[opaque flax]

are the tools available from the apt repo?

[grizzled wing]

i could install them from apt repo, just was curious what would be installed on the laptop with minimal storage and no internet connection

[opaque flax]

makes sense

[strong sentinel]

tryhackme's attack box vs kali machine (web-based) which is better?

[grizzled wing]

your own kali machine

[naive violet]

The THM kali doesn't get updated that often iirc

[grizzled wing]

i use Attackbox and it keeps disconnecting , make the effort to run your own

[opaque flax]

for me the attackbox is just slow and running my own is faster

[grizzled wing]

yesterday i needed mysql and it didnt have it

(now i went back to using my kali for rooms)

[dark frost]

i sometimes missclick update on the thm attackbox , and all get broken ...

[sick lance]

I think Ben has made an effort to update, but not sure if it's as oftes as the Attackbox

[sick lance]

Attackbox has all the needed files etc.

[dark frost]

burp on attack box keep spamming for updates ...

[rapid merlin]

Good soup

[dark frost]

yes 🙂

[boreal scarab]

From brainrot Gen Alpha crap lol

[grizzled wing]

@sick lance most of the time yes, there are a few times when the machine does not have the tool. yesterday i was using attackbox for wordpress CVE room and part of the room you need to use mysql and the box didnt have it

[strong sentinel]

i am using my own kali linux vm all the time, but just recently discovered that there is an arrow beside attack box that let me choose to use kali machine

i found it running faster than attackbox

[grizzled wing]

i like the option to use it

[strong sentinel]

is everyone have access to it or premium user only?

everyone i believe

Kali web box is for subs.

happens to me all the time

Oh I swear I used it as non premium it just only deployed once per day

Your username isn't really that appropriate is it?

[knotty cargo]

So the statment "most https websites has 90% of its content http" is nonsense ?

[icy parrot]

i'm back to kill him 🙂

[jolly aspen]

there is a loose definition of instant, made by sloths

[rapid merlin]

Yep in England we got kettles

[naive violet]

If you're doing unsensible things with a microwave, it can help by acting as a load

[dark frost]

we used to optimise a lot the code we wrote or it would never run

[rapid merlin]

I got good grip

[mellow gull]

Oh you mean the ancient layered microwave technique passed down throughout the generations by the unsavory?

[rapid merlin]

You should see me on the Nintendo Wii never broken a tv 😆

had a friend back in 2015 that had these as blurays and let shadow watch them

[dark frost]

It was good . I would recommand it . 🙂

[sand trench]

some of the best animated anime content shadow has ever watched

sadly they moved super far away

[grizzled wing]

good to hear

[mellow gull]

I miss having my content on Bluray...

Everything's digital nowadays

[mossy river]

Can we keep messages appropriate please? 😄
This conversation isn't appropriate for the Discord server

[sand trench]

well blurays are digital too

[dark frost]

Every cd readers i had just broke...

[south badge]

i am sorry brother

[grizzled wing]

i have dvds and its "work" to put in the discs and change the discs , streaming has made it so easy to watch stuff

[sand trench]

shadows old stereo still works

[dark frost]

My old Playstation 2 🥲

[sand trench]

it even has a tape slot

[grizzled wing]

i still have a walkman that works

[sand trench]

though not sure if the belts for making the tape turn still are in condition to work

not really used that feature in ages

[dark frost]

I have an old car with cd reader 🙂

[grizzled wing]

nice

[sand trench]

have a cd reader for computers

might use it later when the next keygen church cd arrives

[blazing granite]

https://tenor.com/view/sony-walkman-commercial-80s-gif-19137018

[sand trench]

think we got rid of the old walkman shadow had

[grizzled wing]

the high quality sound. listen to a song just to 'rewind' the tape for the osng you really want to listen to

[blazing granite]

a lot of people here probably have no idea what a walkman is 😂 I had one when I was a child

[grizzled wing]

mine has radio

[dark frost]

Or i remember i have a radio with tape , and cd 🙂

[drowsy tinsel]

hello everyone, i was following the Freeroad map, but once made the premium version i lost the chance to follow it. only the Premium Roadmap is visible now.

Any how to get it back?

[grizzled wing]

old tech is cool

[thorny rapids]

why there is not really new machines at thm?

[grizzled wing]

did you ask in the #site-support ?

[drowsy tinsel]

nope xd i will in a sec, thanks

[opaque flax]

new machines are released every week

[karmic hemlock]

I want more old tech

[dark frost]

There were Busy on the AOC

[grizzled wing]

THM has a backlog of rooms waiting review , there is always content

[thorny rapids]

where ? i see the same machines

[grizzled wing]

is 900 rooms not enough

[thorny rapids]

yea my friend posted a really good machine 2 month ago and there is not info about that

[karmic hemlock]

I found an old Canon camera at my grandparents house that I took home with me

[opaque flax]

you can sort by newest

last released was the advent of cyber

[thorny rapids]

i ve already clean all the pentest machines

[grizzled wing]

your friend has to wait months, i waited 6 months for my room

[opaque flax]

which def took a lot of their time as said

[karmic hemlock]

I wanna fix it up and use it

[thorny rapids]

and it s been i like a month withou any new matchine

[grizzled wing]

AOC happened

[dark frost]

You have a room ?

[opaque flax]

they released a new machine a day basically with AoC

[grizzled wing]

.Where try blue team stuff now

[grizzled wing]

yea, its not released but it is Hashcat Playground, cracking funny passwords

[dark frost]

Room tester are busy i guess 🙂

[sand trench]

meaning there is more work for shadow and 0xb0b and shamo and aquinaz

and scrubz too technically

[grizzled wing]

yea, just means people love THM and want it to continue to thrive

[sand trench]

shadow has not even reached 1/3rd of all rooms done

[grizzled wing]

Tyler Ramsbey was talking to Ben on stream about the rooms

[sand trench]

also spoilers: there is a new feature in the works

[dark frost]

[grizzled wing]

there is mention of a || certificate || in the works

[dark frost]

A certificate with value ?

[grizzled wing]

everything has value if you believe in it

[opaque flax]

yeah a certification rather than a certificate

thats proctored and proves knowledge

[grizzled wing]

green paper has value because we collective agree it is valuable

[opaque flax]

so i should become a senior director of security because I did AoC then?

[grizzled wing]

THM certification would be cool beans

[red surge]

Yes

You deserve it

[opaque flax]

im telling my boss veggie said i am certified to be a senior director of security

[sick lance]

Maybe here is some in-bound.

[grizzled wing]

it would become a hot certification

[sand trench]

it would also compete towards a large portion of other certifications

[dark frost]

In htb they sell certification worth +1000$ each

[grizzled wing]

HTB is only about the money

[sand trench]

• presses x to doubt

[red surge]

We need new titles in THM beyond legend not certificates

[wary ocean]

HTB is absolute hell when it comes to certs

[grizzled wing]

0xSuperGod

[opaque flax]

they are not

im all for comparing 2 services but you gotta be fair lol

[red surge]

Yes next inteview I have I will mentioned i am SupperGod in thm haha

[dark frost]

Superman

[sand trench]

shadow should probably mention their tryhackme and/or duolingo streaks somewhere if they apply for jobs

[grizzled wing]

"why should be hire you?"
i am SuperGod on THM

hired!

[opaque flax]

the vouchers for either $210 or $350 for HTB

[sand trench]

as it shows a commitment to doing something every day for ages upon ages

[mossy river]

I'm not involved in this discussion but on their website they do sell two certificates *that cost more than $1000, I'm unsure where the unfair comparison is? 😄

[little siren]

Which ones are 1k+? Arent cpts and cbbh less

[opaque flax]

they do but their beginner certs are not over 1k

[mellow narwhal]

Their certs are all like $200+ or so lol

[grizzled wing]

$1260

[mossy river]

Correct but Dawiddym didn't specify which certs 😄
Hence why I stepped in

[mellow narwhal]

Individually, around more than 200

[little siren]

That doesnt sound like a deal at all

[opaque flax]

yeah my reading comprehension was bad

i read it like their certs are over 1k

[mossy river]

@grizzled wing Please make sure you are following our advertisement guidelines #rules

[red surge]

Why not just make a path that grants you a more job like title completing SOC 1 & SOC 2 you get Senior SOC Analyst or something hehe

[mellow narwhal]

Their certs are good. Not that they're widely recognized in the market, but still

[sand trench]

well you gotta start somewhere to build recognition

[opaque flax]

im hoping both they and THM (when they come out) get more recognized in the market

[grizzled wing]

ohh. damn i was just posting where the info about the prices. sorry

[little siren]

Skidy made a post on reddit some time ago asking if ppl would want thm certs

[sand trench]

i.e tryhackme certification can't become widely recognised without first existing

[mellow narwhal]

Yeah, they're the two major cybersecurity education companies

[opaque flax]

and offsec desparately needs good strong competition

[mellow narwhal]

I mean, leaving apart offsec and sans etc

[red surge]

I saw that yea hehe I am just shooting the breeze.

[grizzled wing]

there should be OnSec competitor

[mellow narwhal]

YES

~~but maybe for free for the first day/week, so that I can afford it 🤣 ~~

[red surge]

If i get Pacman console I will publicly thank thm on linked in to make HR confused better then any cert xD

[mellow narwhal]

lol

[opaque flax]

brb making onsec company

[mellow narwhal]

I love any swag in general. The last time, I got some cool ones from Cloudflare

A Huntley mug and a cube

[red surge]

Does anyone know were there any KOTH events like a turnaments in the past?

[opaque flax]

im pretty sure the defcon CTF competition is KOTH style

[red surge]

i meant on thm

[opaque flax]

ah no idea

[sand trench]

By doubting we arrive at the truth

[red surge]

that would be fun even streeming would make sense for finals hehe ofcourse players would not have access to the stream heh 😄

[grizzled wing]

i did enjoy making hacker merch mockups, have posted it before

[sand trench]

in shadows humble opinion: defcon hoodies are comfy

[opaque flax]

big truth

ever stand in the merch line?

[sand trench]

hahaha nope.... just bought them from the store page

[grizzled wing]

i want to THM merch for the gym, i like to advertise for THM

[opaque flax]

when I was buying my badge I saw someone placing fake $100's around

[grizzled wing]

am i allowed to post the THM store link ?

[sand trench]

To rule oneself is the greatest power

[mossy river]

Yes 🙂

[grizzled wing]

https://store.tryhackme.com/

[sand trench]

yeah the tryhackme tshirts are nice too

[grizzled wing]

the t shirts

[clear jackal]

My t-shirt is nice

[sand trench]

also buying hoodies 3 sizes to large for shadow from tryhackme has been fun

[clear jackal]

One of my comfier shirts

[red surge]

Honestly they could do better with design...my opinion

[clear jackal]

It's black though, so I can't wear it 8 months out of the year. Otherwise I boil

[red surge]

socks are dope tho 😄

[mossy river]

Would you be willing to elaborate? Examples would be much appreciated 😄

[grizzled wing]

capture the flag shirt is cute

[red surge]

The no hints with a picure the hell looks like 30 sec effort hehe

I can use a tape and A4 paper to make that shirt xD

[sand trench]

ah yeah the embed picture of store.tryhackme.com is bad

i.e when linking to it on discord the blank white square with no info is bad

[sick lance]

I'm pretty sure the "No hints" meme was created by a community member...

[mossy river]

Very understandable, I hear your feedback 🫡

[mossy river]

Also noted - I will update this!

[sand trench]

no problem jabba

just felt like pointing that out as it is kinda blinding and kinda slightly off putting with no embed picture

[jolly aspen]

question for the CTFers, when you have a target IP how do you streamline using the IP in commands? do you make an alias or?

[mossy river]

You can set it to en environment variable and have a list of commands to copy and paste

[sand trench]

From a pure fountain flows pure water

[mossy river]

export TARGET="10.0.0.0"

nmap $TARGET

[sand trench]

Obedience breeds friends, truth breeds hatred

shadow generally does not export any values for hacking and just make the commands in such a way that the last argument is the ip address

[jolly aspen]

as much as I love typing out 10.10. address range ove and over, thank you @mossy river

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @mossy river (current: #6 - 1406)

[red surge]

Just to add something. I remember my Physics hoody with equations on it...would be funny to have a reverse shell on a hoodie .

[sand trench]

also considering shadow has setup that pressing ctrl + v in input on terminal opens the command in neovim for editing makes making quick changes quick

[opaque flax]

i like this idea

[rugged kayak]

echo "IP box.thm" >> /etc/hosts

[grizzled wing]

ordering 3 shirts !

[jolly aspen]

bold use of whitespace

[mossy river]

That is probably the most simple way.

You could over engineer a bash script to conduct basic enumeration (and have different scripts for Windows and Linux) if you really don't want to type commands.

[red surge]

this is the physics hoodi from the university

so something like that

[sand trench]

not the best solution as you will get tons of ips in there then and if you don't clear it out every so often you could have duplicate of ips to domains

[opaque flax]

theres a 2600 shirt with an encryption algorithm on it

[mossy river]

Amazing idea. You have just given me an idea for an extension of this which I would love to see if we could add ✍️ noting

[sand trench]

vsauce have a few shirts where the text is printed in such a way to be read by the wearer and not the random people around

[rugged kayak]

i tend to clear it after i finish with challenge or modify it if box has some subdomains

[sand trench]

fair enough then sloboda

[jolly aspen]

I'm going back down to Mobile in a few days so I'll survive

[keen tide]

I saw someone on YouTube saying that I have to open a port of the router settings, right or not?

[grizzled wing]

english only please

[opaque flax]

it depends on what you are doing

[keen tide]

tbh i’m asking for my friend

[sand trench]

in most cases you don't need to open/portforward any ports on your router

[keen tide]

i’ll ask him wait

[sand trench]

for tryhackme you just use the openvpn if your country allows vpns

if not you are stuck with the attackbox

[keen tide]

he said I’m with my computer, I’m doing it from the attack, and I’ll take my second computer, and I’ll go for coffee, and I’ll network it on the coffee network, and I’ll see if it’s adjusted or not

[opaque flax]

is this for tryhackme?

[keen tide]

idk i’ll ask him

[sand trench]

just use a vpn from your laptop in the coffee shop to your home computer in that case

no need to open any ports

assuming upnp is working correctly

[keen tide]

he said no

[opaque flax]

what is he trying to do

[cosmic sentinel]

Is there any chance to get the courses from tryhackme or other sites for free, because in my country we're not allowed to deal with foreign currency at all @sand trench

[grizzled wing]

you can check out #resources

[cosmic sentinel]

Ok thx

[keen tide]

He said he’s trying to hack his other computer

[opaque flax]

so we can't help with that because we have no way of knowing if that's true or if hes trying to attack someone else

[keen tide]

He tells you how to use the VPN.

Because I will be hacking a device outside my local network

and how to use it on kali linux

[sand trench]

a lot of rooms on tryhackme are free... alternatively you could try and get lucky when there are voucher giveaways to get a subscription that way

[keen tide]

he speaks arabic so that’s why my english sounds bad

i’m translating

[boreal scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/out-cat-bye-gif-21078930

[keen tide]

you can speak to him directly by using google translate

[wooden totem]

nooo, you killed him

[opaque flax]

like i said i won't be helping any further at this point as weI don't know if it's his own machine or someone else he is trying to attack

[keen tide]

ok

[cosmic sentinel]

I'm gonna need a lot of help from you in that matter I'm new to the field
Changing career from chemistry and labs 😅
But thx for the info

As they don't seem to understand the fundamentals, hacking a device outside their LAN sounds sketchy.

[sand trench]

anyways there is tons of free resources like videos on youtube and written articles online that are free to access

[grizzled wing]

what? i did not run kill command

[wooden totem]

it's the same if you move to cali

Neither to be angry, nor to admire, but to understand

[grizzled wing]

how about mv Jake /international/warm/PuertoRico/

[sand trench]

it is to hot... can you move shadow to antartica

[wooden totem]

this server is actually people's first honeypot, they expect help to do something illegal but are instead faced with "friendly comments"

[grizzled wing]

mv shadow /international/cold/antartica/

[sand trench]

the defcon discord gets a decent bit of whackos too

also the most fun accidental defcon discord joins is people looking for a discord for the steam game by the name of defcon

it is translated song titles

"thb" - oh, so this whole time until now it was a lie?!?!

[pliant cairn]

Hey people

[sand trench]

Neque imbellem feroces progenerant aquilae columbam

is the latin title

[glass nest]

Pidove or Pidgeotto?

[sand trench]

the translation might be slightly wrong

not sure

shadow is not good with latin

[opaque flax]

As people do when they don’t want to say they are doing something

[pliant cairn]

I read some latin references back in a book

I think davinci code?

Forgot what it was

[sand trench]

There is a universal law that commands birth and death

and that was that

all titles from that album

I studied Latin when I was a teenager

[sand trench]

latin is not very much for shadow

it is a dead language for a reason :D

[pliant cairn]

Its not that bad tbh 😆

[blazing granite]

the world is full of surprises 😛

[sand trench]

this background/wallpaper is nice

[blazing granite]

it's a dead language because it hasn't had any native speakers for very long time 🙂 but still useful for science and to read classic literature

Hi

[pliant cairn]

Talking about languages - i thought i could learn german if i put my mind at it and took it for some extra credits in my university. It was so hard i still dont know how i managed to pass that course

[sand trench]

shadow has a grade in swedish sign language

[round orbit]

I purchased THM premium

[blazing granite]

german grammar is not an easy thing 😂 but polish is worst I believe

[sand trench]

finnish words are fun as all the sounds in that language has its own dedicated letter

so it makes perfect sense phonetically

[pliant cairn]

Exactly. I had to make a speech and had to actually present it to the class. And i hate how everything changes and how many types of der die and die there are

Hi, I was curious about the Monthly Hacker badge. Seeing as lot of people on top of the leaderboards don't have it, it seems to be pretty rare (makes sense if only 12 people per year get it).
Do you think it's legitimately attainable, or do people use cheats somehow? Are there any strategies? I'm thinking stacking up unfinished rooms and then finishing them all in one month could be one.. Can it get harder/impossible as you do more rooms since there will be less "free" points?
Sorry if this Q is too n00b/off-topic.

If someone is 'cheating' to get a badge on a website, they likely have other concerns

Has anybody come up with a comprehensive list of tools, websites, or other resources that are good to learn for Cyber? I'd be interested in looking at it

[round orbit]

Evilginx is a tool I'm starting to learn

[pliant cairn]

Ever-changing imo. There is not fixed tset of tools but rather understanding the concepts is what helps you

[clear jackal]

Where you going to use that?

[glass nest]

I'm sure you could go through your notes and build a list of ones relevant to how you do things?

[grizzled wing]

have you checked out Tyler Ramsbey channel? he is doing cybr and vulnlabs

[round orbit]

What do you mean?

[clear jackal]

Seems like a fairly specific tool

[round orbit]

It's a reverse proxy phishing framework tool

[karmic hemlock]

I saw him on the Advent of Cyber but haven't checked out his channel much. I'll have a go at it, thanks!

[grizzled wing]

he also has a fun discord as well

[glass nest]

The challenge with someone elses list of tools, is that there may be ones on there that you don't know what they do or how to use them. So you end up spending time researching tools or only half knowing what theyr for or how to use them

[upper knoll]

imo u build your tool libary as u go

youll know what they do and remmeber when u used them

[sand trench]

well shadow is slowly ricing their own setup :D

[grizzled wing]

Evilginx is used for MitM, phishing, credential theft and MFA bypass , so it is a valid query , what are you planning on doing with this tool

[glass nest]

It has the word 'Evil' in it

[grizzled wing]

haha

[upper knoll]

well im noting down that tool for later research thx veggies

[karmic hemlock]

Thats true, I guess it's difficult to come up with my own because I'm still new in terms of the technical side of things. I've studied a good bit of concepts and feel like I have a good basis on that

[grizzled wing]

i have seen some of shadows work in progress, veggies likes what is happening

[grizzled wing]

its likely in your kali already

[karmic hemlock]

Idk if the skill matrix on THM counts for anything but my fundamentals is maxed out and everything else is right near the middle 😂

[upper knoll]

oh it is?

sweet lol

[grizzled wing]

my windows is 0 haha

[glass nest]

for sure. But look at the tools you DO use. Nmap, burp, Metasploit, Hashcat, John....

[opaque flax]

like evil-winrm

[upper knoll]

still i do wanna eventually create my own ubuntu system just cause kali isnt always what u need when just running linux for pentesting

[grizzled wing]

[grizzled wing]

[glass nest]

I think I still have a copy of Backtrack3 somewhere :p

[pliant cairn]

Thats gold. Such a flex

[upper knoll]

[pliant cairn]

I’m waiting on my sofa to be built so I’ll sort out the cases

[rapid merlin]

Recently had a massive chuck out of clothes

[grizzled wing]

not sure what drifting is

[rapid merlin]

Because I’m the sort of person to keep clothes for donkeys years so

I thought it was about time
