[eternal timber]

Do you guys think people will hate whoever makes the breakthrough to general intelligence

[sinful moon]

anyways VMware has scored me about 5 times too many, from now on I'm a Proxmox evangelist, and already was a qemu/kvm enjoyer. Stick to open source kids, it'll treat you well

[sinful moon]

more than enough for a bunch of containerized stuff yee

always depends on your needs, although yeah that can grow in time which is why a cluster is great

[split compass]

Some folks at work were looking at XCP-NG, but it looks like it may not have support for as many virtualization/pass-through features.

[sinful moon]

meanwhile us back on vSphere with Media encoding...

[whole yew]

gross, another xen hypervisor

[sinful moon]

but yeah that was us pussing the limits

[split compass]

[rapid merlin]

real af

[sinful moon]

and yeah I can't consider XCP-NG, I did consider it but Xen is kinda dead

no reason not to go with a qemu/kvm based solution

I've plenty of experience with it via virt-manager, UTM on macOS and iOS and just bare qemu emulation I've done, it's super solid

This is more the future than Xen or VMware

[old raven]

found a flaw in a fast food survey code, tried to exploit post with a pitchfork attack but session id's are stopping it from going through. Do you guys think a Autohotkey bot is enough to submit as a bug bounty ?

[sinful moon]

Before you even continue, please check if you are even allowed to be doing such a thing such as on HackerOne

[whole yew]

Strongly recommend you figure out if this kind of testing is allowed on the survey site, as it could open you up to liability if it's expressly disallowed in the ToS/EULA and you continue

[split compass]

When in doubt re-read the bounty guidelines. The answer may be there already

[boreal scarab]

My CPU is always at 1% usage

[sinful moon]

[old raven]

no public bug bounty program, ive only submited one with the bot and all my post end with 302. Do you think that opens me up to liability already? Thanks for the hacker one suggestion

anyone in here not in the IT field by chance?

in terms of employment

Not to interrupt you guys in the middle of talking about hackerone and stuff...

🤣

[split compass]

Gods, Wings are a messy late-night snack.

LOL, currently?
Not sure; but yes there are certainly less IT connected people who come to chat.

[elder dew]

right on

Honestly, my question is more for people who aare already in IT positions I guess.

I'm 39 and have a shit ton of hospitality industry/restaurant management work experience. I tried to shift into networking a few years ago and did...I worked with someone in Florida who was a friend of a friend.

[boreal scarab]

That's 99% of people here

[elder dew]

Now I'm not living in Florida anymore.

If I'm applying to an IT firm, what is going to be looked at the most?

certs? the few years I did field tech low volatage work?

Doing computer repairs for a little extra cash when the local shop needs help?

I've had 2 local firms say "OK...You got the right guy. Send me your resume and show me your skills". I don't know if I'm stupid or what, but my skills are configuring networks and doing field tech stuff as well as hardware/software repairs.

[boreal scarab]

@whole yew @cosmic pendant Pinging you both, since you two have more managerial experience when it comes to what you look for in a person going into IT.

[whole yew]

100% depends on the role.

There's no clear and definite answer with a question that vague

[elder dew]

Thanks. I have one guy who actually taught me in grade school for a year that is getting back in town on the 18th. I want to have whatever skills I need to show this guy together before he's back.

[elder dew]

I get that. I realize it's vague. There is no specific job opening on any website that I am referring to.

[whole yew]

Ok. If you can't describe the role you want, I have no idea how to approach what you have. If you can link what you know to tasking on the job req, that's a great first step

[craggy dove]

Any thoughts on new 50s NVIDIA series?

[whole yew]

Certs are Ok. Might be a requirement depending on the org and the role, but certs are first and foremost a business need, not an individiual contributor thing.

[elder dew]

And I realize my question is really vague too. I guess I'm just wondering if anyone in here works at a place that offers everything from basic PC repairs to cloud hosting/network security and field technicians as well. If so, what might be a good thing to focus on?

I don't know if the 'jack of all trades master of none' approach is good or not.

[elder dew]

got ya.

[ionic wolf]

woot made GURU 🙂 now to buckle down and hit legend

[elder dew]

https://microlandcomputers.com/

[craggy dove]

I was jack of all trades before transitioning into cyber - device provisioning, user management, device repairs, shipping, O365 administration, etc

good experience

[cloud quiver]

Congrats , keep up the good work 🙂

[elder dew]

That's the website of the business I would ideally like to work at. There is no specific job opening though.

[whole yew]

It's almost always better to go deeper than to go broader, with your skillset. Once you have a good depth of knowledge, ie 3-5 years experience, you'll have seen enough that it's easy to translate what you know into other domains. If you go broad too early in your career, you won't have the background necessary for many mid and senior level roles

[elder dew]

cool. I just really need to land some sort of job and I'm grasping for anything that might help me land this one. Is there any good way to present yourself as a jack of all trades?
And having no certs atm, I imagine saying I am working on a particular cert might be something I can add I guess.

[split compass]

I reserve all judgements until item is in hand.

[elder dew]

And thanks for not outright calling me lazy or dumb. I have just applied to about 20 places around here and this is one of the last places I can think of that I would like to work at...or that is even computer related.

[split compass]

@elder dew everyone's journey in IT looks a little different, but what has served me well is the hacker mentality, the belief that "It's not my job." is a cop-out better viewed as "I'd like to take that learning opportunity."

[elder dew]

I'm all about working whatever job is available and broadining my skillset.

[split compass]

And, it's a kind of hard market right now; so being willing to pick up anything from LV cable, to Security Cam installs, to tier1 phone support is good.

I've done pretty much everything, Telephony, VoIP, cabling, user support, network management, infra management.

[elder dew]

I have built some websites and written some scripts...Have preferred linux over windows for years now. I went back to college to go for a masters in cybersec...went for the first year and then COVID lockdowns happened. I was in New Orleans and UNO was only doing online classes, couldn't even continue if I wanted to due to living situation..

[split compass]

Good on the websites/scripting.
Less on the second half of that story 😄

[elder dew]

Right on. Thanks. I'll do anything. I just want to NOT be in the restaurant industry anymore. I feel like going back to it would be a huge step backwards and the job market around here is grim.

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @split compass (current: #62 - 134)

[split compass]

On the point of doing software troubleshooting + Web and scripting...
You may hate this; but.
POS Integrators might be a good place to look too 😄

[elder dew]

So don't bother mentioning trying to go back to school...It just looks like a failed attempt I imagine.

[elder dew]

yea...I do know a bit about POS.

[drifting stirrup]

how much of try hack me is free?

[split compass]

It goes with the restaurant territory.

[elder dew]

Exactly

I was always messing with the manager computer...

[split compass]

Gosh I suspect it's around 2/3rds or so.
Enough to get a solid entry education to networking, system admin, and hacking.

[elder dew]

messing with the POS system from the admin level..

haha. I'm sure I broke a few things.

[split compass]

Fastest way to learn 🙂

[drifting stirrup]

2/3? thats already better than Hackthebox

[split compass]

Breaking MSSQL database servers and exchange servers was a great learning opp.

[elder dew]

[drifting stirrup]

they are both teaching cybersecurity correct?

[blazing granite]

probably around 65 or 70%

[cloud quiver]

Yes , I think that at least around 60% is free content 😄

[split compass]

As for schooling.
Eehhh, If Dr. Toast comes in, I'd take his lessons on that.

Outside of academia though, sites like this exist, even Azure Az-104 can be trained for online through LinkedIn/Microsoft learning stuff.

And certs are cheap.

[blazing granite]

wrong reply it was meant to the one who asked the question 😂

[split compass]

Basic certs*

[elder dew]

ok

[cloud quiver]

Ah . my bad , sorry 😄

[split compass]

Which is enough to make people take you more seriously if you're worried that your body of work isn't speaking loudly enough.

[elder dew]

yeah. I know network+ is about 300 USD

[blazing granite]

no, my bad, that I reply your answer and not the other guy question 😂

[elder dew]

Sec+ 400 or so...Ideally I'd like to be able tto knock out some free certs if there are some.

Like the linkedin stuff.

[split compass]

Also check-out Gitlab pages.
Set yourself up a free Gitlab page to show off your implementations.

[elder dew]

sure way to not get a job.

[split compass]

I know a guy at Protocol Labs, might get you in there if you could back it up:P

[elder dew]

AI and blockchain?

I do actually know a decent bit about blockchain.

I can start that interview with the Bitcoin block size debate.

and say that CSW is SN

IPFS is interesting too...

Ohh man..I see some really interesting stuff on this Protocol Labs site.

[split compass]

Yeah that's what he works on.
He tried to get me hooked up with an interview, but I am not a dev, and cannot sell myself as one, even if I'm more than capable 😄

[elder dew]

a censorship proof wikipedia. Before I had heard of Brave and BAT, I thought I invented a token for paying users to watch ads.

[elder dew]

I'm not an advanced dev, but I know enough to possibly be considered.

[split compass]

Mostly just pointing out there are places that seek that expertise 🙂

Also, I remember one of the rooms, might have been part of an old AoC? Did a bit on smart contracts.

I found that interesting.

[elder dew]

There are actually some other interesting options aside from IPFS...Putting data on some blockchains is possible for such a small amount of $$. I like messing with inscribing HTML/TXT files with other stuff that is on-chain. You can build an entire website on chain that points to other data like images and stuff using html/js...extremely interesting.

[split compass]

Yep, that's essentially the concept of Web3.
Web3 doens't have to be chain, but is heavily leveraged.

[elder dew]

Yea. I'm not looking to debate the best blockchain, but there is a big block version of Bitcoin that allows smart contracts to be made for close to nothing cost-wise. Storing data on this chain is extremely cheap as well. I love all that kinda stuff and have practiced it a bit.

[elder dew]

I realize it doesn't have to be on chain. I'm just talking about my knowledge about it. It can all be on chain and doesn't have to cost a crazy amount like ETH fee-wise.

I would love a job in that sort of field.

[fiery imp]

gm gm

[elder dew]

For now, I just need a job though. So I'll go with the tips you guys kinda gave me and I'll see what happens...
Last thing...Does a+ matter if you can just get network+ or sec+?

I imagine the answer would be "depends on the job..." so I'll retract that. But it seems like a+ is pretty basic.

[drifting stirrup]

i got a question im kinda new to this instead of running commands on a linux vm can u just run commands on powershell or no?

[elder dew]

windows linux subsystem ?

ohh...my bad. powershell and linux terminal does not use the same commands. some commands are the same. not all.

[brittle drum]

Exactly! FOSS devs are out there trying to squash bugs between day jobs, side hustles, and probably binge-watching their favorite shows. Unless they’ve got a benefactor or some magical bounty rolling in, it’s more code when you can than ```code on demand

[split compass]

A+ doesn't matter much, I think places like BestBuy still look at it?
I have it because I had a voucher.

PoSH (PowerShell) has a lot of aliases to Linux commands to try to keep it familiar.

[elder dew]

not looking to be on the geek squad. I would...I'm not too good for it, but I have applied and I never get any feedback from best buy

[split compass]

WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) will allow you to containerize a Linux system, and you can use Windows Terminal; but if your hope is to get something inside of the Powershell ISE, it won't have the linting for Linux commands.

[fiery imp]

Important tip: Always say Hi

[split compass]

Yeah, the problem with places like Staple and BestBuy is they don't really want competent techs, they want sales people.

[elder dew]

yea

which I can do both. But they kinda just have a crappy staff because of that 'sale mentality'.

[elder dew]

Hi

[silver arch]

Wass up how do Ik i won the prizes or not

[split compass]

When I was much younger I went through like 5 or 6 interviews with Staples.
Basically, one manager wanted me because they knew I would whip their service dept into ship shape. The other didn't because I was unlikely to be a sales asset.
And they were clearly back and forth over whether or not to bring me in.

For me it's an ethical stance.
I won't sell a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
But I will absolutely sell the shit out of something that provides a functional benefit.

[jolly aspen]

hi

[fiery imp]

Hello mate!

[fiery imp]

Hello there!

[elder dew]

Same with me. I won't sell something because the markup is higher. I would provide the best option for the customer.

[jolly aspen]

Gitlab is still FOSS org, Github is Microsoft.

Also I run my own Gitlab instance.

And I like the Gitlab pages feature, not sure if Github does a similar feature.

Gave +1 Rep to @elder dew (current: #2570 - 1)

[jolly aspen]

no public announcement, just an email to winners

[drifting stirrup]

alr that makes sense thanks. i was just thinking if their was a way to run commands to do the hacking on my computer not a vm?

[split compass]

There's good reason to do it in a VM over on your computer.
One of which is simply that you don't crowd your daily driver computer with hacking tools, random downloads of password lists, etc.

[elder dew]

No problem. A better answer was given below mine. You should check it out. Consider using the Windows Linux Subsystem if you want to rrun linux commands without dual booting or using a VM

[brittle drum]

use free cloud shell , in browser

[drifting stirrup]

oh yeh ur right

[split compass]

WSL is cool, but you have to remember to do your ip4 proxy configs between host system and container.

[elder dew]

yea...Makes sense. And you can use a cloud shell in browser.

[drifting stirrup]

it would still download files onto my computer though right

[brittle drum]

no

[elder dew]

I am not a fan of WSL

[drifting stirrup]

could u link me a free cloud shell please?

[brittle drum]

sure

[split compass]

Cloud shells are generally just limited terminal access virtual cloud server. They may or may not have X11 implemented.
Sign-up to Gitlab or Github and you can use that to store any permanent notes you want to keep.

[split compass]

I use it daily 😄
If I could get off Windows entirely I would, but it's a good middle for me 🙂

[brittle drum]

https://shell.cloud.google.com/?show=ide%2Cterminal

[split compass]

Oh cool, Cloud offers up free shells?

Google Cloud*

[brittle drum]

yes

[split compass]

That's actually pretty sick.

[drifting stirrup]

so its gonna have the same functionalty and stuff as running parrot thing on linux?

[elder dew]

I hear you.

[split compass]

Peachy 😄

[brittle drum]

Thank me later, but I wouldn’t recommend using it for serious research. They do use your data for advertisements and their own benefit. However, for beginners, it’s a decent option since you can use it directly in your browser without any installation.

[split compass]

It's nice for the high-speed between your shell and remote systems though I imagine.
I used to use a cheap cloud server for such because of my rural internet.
Logon, run TMUX, do my stuff.

or Screen, pick your poison.

[brittle drum]

Why use a Katana when a needle can do the job? It's like slicing bread with a lightsaber—cool, but seriously over the top!

[drifting stirrup]

ok cool so ill use cloud shell when im just chilling and vm when im trying to look cool

Which seems to be a publicly recognized CA.

I guess I'm gonna have to buy it as it is

[stoic quarry]

Ello all

How we all doing?

Ooh, new color

[autumn thunder]

Hello

[cloud quiver]

Congrats on level up 🙂

[stoic quarry]

Thanks!

I know I leveled up last night but didn't expect it to update for a day or so

For... some reason idk

[jolly parcel]

beep boop

[autumn thunder]

Is soc sim a group based sim Or can it be done solo do I need business subscription

[jolly parcel]

what u guys grinding today

[cloud quiver]

I think you need business 😦

[jolly parcel]

I stop halfway at linux priv escalation, phew i need to rest ;-;

[stoic quarry]

Fair enough

[autumn thunder]

I'll be attempting labs that will teach me about logs related linux

[solemn lintel]

?

[stoic quarry]

Some random lab, then the gym. Ez pz

[jolly parcel]

sadly im restday for gym

[stoic quarry]

Nice

Making gains on the learning then making gains on the gym

anyone know what´s the "Qest solved" beside the username on discord is 🤔

[autumn thunder]

Man I wanted to learn about soc so much

[cloud quiver]

Check out soc1 and 2 paths 🙂

[autumn thunder]

Yeah definitely

[fathom valve]

imagine loosing a usb stick in a big stinky garbage dumpster and you need to find it quick, because it started burning on a wheel ...

[autumn thunder]

Why just why would u want me to imagine that

[slow bison]

Sounds like datenight!\

[fathom valve]

it´s fun but a lot stress, if you like it there is nothing better in it 🙂
It-admin is lika a shepard with burning sheeps clicking on every link 😉

[autumn thunder]

Lol true

[stoic quarry]

If you say so

[wooden totem]

Society if all links opened in sandboxed environments automatically

[jolly parcel]

this is my next goal after my jr pen test

after the red team, ill try the blueteam

[wooden totem]

🤓 erm actually it should be from blue team to red team in order

[jolly parcel]

i finished blue team last month from my subject in college

[wooden totem]

🥂

[jolly parcel]

then proceeds to tryhack me red team

[fathom valve]

both ways are good learn to hack to secure systems can be good too 😉

[jolly parcel]

after red team, i wanna further explore the blue team again

[jolly parcel]

dude is a purple man sheesh, hows life being a purple one man team

[stoic quarry]

A lot of red teaming is report writing and doing boring stuff

[wooden totem]

man behind the slaughter

[stoic quarry]

Technically I purple team at work, but it's mainly reports

[fathom valve]

got both side secure systems, thread hunting, Pentesting and coordinating if there is an impact in the warroom

[stoic quarry]

Don't expect to be doing CTF-like activity 8 hours a day if you get a red team job

[fathom valve]

so last time i got 2 days nearly 24hours 😬

[jolly parcel]

rate the two team based on thrill and fun

[jolly parcel]

true enough

[jolly parcel]

u currently working?

im a student sorry ;-;

[fathom valve]

depends a lot where you work, both can have boring parts

[wooden totem]

Literally a job for me

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1110599222098657291.webp?size=48&name=Whitewclueless

[stoic quarry]

Yeah I work

[jolly parcel]

thats cool dude

[stoic quarry]

I'm hopefully moving soon, so fingers crossed there's less reports!

Leave that stuff to a manager

[wooden totem]

I'm pretty sure I just breathed in 100 million bacteria

accidentally squeezed a full biological waste trash bag and the released air went straight into my face

[jade wing]

Was it a bio waste bag for infectious material?

If not, its gross, but you will probably be fine lol

[jade wing]

The reality is, the manager will always task the employee with the report, its called delegation for a reason lol

The manager also has reports they have to do, they just go the other way, and its their director making them do reports on different things

Finally we have the directory doing reports for the VP/C level and so and so forth

its reports all the way down bb

https://tenor.com/view/always-has-been-among-us-astronaut-space-betrayal-gif-23836476

[blazing granite]

a lot of times looks like a soulless one 😂

[stoic quarry]

Manager doesn't understand the technical stuff

Which is why I'm doing reports

Hello 👋

[floral hawk]

Is the stream with Cyber Advent raffle today afternoon?

[cloud quiver]

Drawing was yesterday 🙂

[floral hawk]

I missed it!

[iron veldt]

hello everynyan !

i have a question

[cloud quiver]

Check your email 🙂

[iron veldt]

is the path Red Teaming in tryhack crto friendly?

[cloud quiver]

Wdym 🙂 ?

[iron veldt]

can i pass the crto with the path "Red Teaming" in tryhackme?

[cloud quiver]

You will need to use addutional resources and cert. official documentation probably 🙂

[abstract birch]

hey guys

can anyone help me

[stoic quarry]

Ello

Depends what you need help with

[floral hawk]

Maybe

[cloud quiver]

What's the problem 🙂 ?

[abstract birch]

i want some kind of cool stuff to be performed at my school like what hacks can i perform

for fun

[cloud quiver]

@sick lance

[floral hawk]

I received no email. I didn't win 😦

[upper knoll]

Oh some people don’t learn

[cloud quiver]

Sad to hear that 😦 . But don't worry there will probably be some new event soon 🙂

[upper knoll]

Also kgb seeing you not in the help chats is crazy

[sick lance]

That would be illegal.

And against our community rules, as such we won't be teaching you, or discussing the topic of black hat/illegal topics.

[abstract birch]

roger

sorry

[floral hawk]

There was a questionnaire about what certs we'd like. Has something come out of that?

[upper knoll]

It’s something thm is working on I believe

[cloud quiver]

Maybe , we will see 😄

[stoic quarry]

Oh there was?

Damn, missed it

[sick lance]

Can you please not?

[upper knoll]

Yer maybe don’t advice people on that lad

[abstract birch]

i am high school teenager wants to do a kind of intresting stuff

[upper knoll]

Rules and such

[frosty sphinx]

What do you recommend as an automation framework when penetration testing? Would you recommend ruby/php/python or golang for basic recon framework automation?

[floral hawk]

Sorry.

[cloud quiver]

Automated Burp/ZAP

[sick lance]

Whichever you're comfortable typing in.

[solid jungle]

Are the 2024 cyber of advent winners announced ?

[cloud quiver]

Yes 🙂

[iron veldt]

I figured the Red Team path was solid enough to prep for the CRTO without needing to take the courses, especially since they’re pretty pricey. but ok 😦

[solid jungle]

Where

[cloud quiver]

They received email 🙂

[iron veldt]

rust

[jade wing]

If you want to learn and hack ethnically and legally. You are in the right place. Use the resources this website provides you to learn and within it you will find simulations. You can play in those simulations legally. This isn’t some discord however where you are spoon fed now to back or taught how to hack outside the law. Go through the resources provided in the community and use them in conjunction with the website that this discord community participates in (try hack me) so you can learn safely.

[frosty sphinx]

@KGB I would like to re learn ZAP as it seems more intuitive?

[cloud quiver]

You have room on THM 🙂

[frosty sphinx]

@iron veldt Rust? how steep is the learning curve?

[abstract birch]

ok

[rapid merlin]

I love ZAP and have been learning it 👍

[jade wing]

These are all languages but not frameworks. If you want a framework you would look for one in each language. Each language will have its own pros and cons, and have its own libraries and frameworks.

[frosty sphinx]

@KGB Thank U. Am going to revisit it as I need to retrain

[sick lance]

They were emailed privately for privacy.

[rapid merlin]

Rust has an interesting borrow checker 🙂

[floral hawk]

Not Rust. Its unnecessarily difficult and all the good request libraries are written in Go. Rust is extremely difficult when compared to Go and sec community generally uses Go.

[iron veldt]

it's like C but without the seg fault

[jade wing]

That and python is very popular as well.

I personally don’t like go just for the lack of good documentation but I can’t deny it’s an amazing language. It’s extremely fast as well.

[frosty sphinx]

@rapid merlin compared to Burp CE, what is your rating from 1-10 on useability?

[jade wing]

Rust is the bane of my existence

[rapid merlin]

Go is my Go to language

[floral hawk]

I am personally learning Rust, because I want to develop my own apps (Tau'ri is superior to Electronh) && do smart contract security (Solana, Substrate).
So I would know its an overkill and the bottleneck is the network response time, so you won't get better speed from Rust.

[frosty sphinx]

I'm going to have to reskill in scripting with those languages

[rapid merlin]

I am not sure I am at the point where I am experienced enough with both to give a rating, yet what I've learned thus far has excited me in ZAP

[floral hawk]

I am not Parseltongue, but I think Go has been gaining an edge over Python. A code looks cleaner to me.

[jade wing]

Burp is straight forward you just have to learn the interface and its options as well as configurations. It’s the prerequisite knowledge if you are lacking it that will make it difficult for you to use effectively. You should have pre requisite knowledge in web applications and networking in my opinion to make the fullest use of it.

[floral hawk]

Also consider shell. Sometimes, bash/fish/sh file is enough.

[rapid merlin]

I write code in lolcode when I want to be playful with reverse engineering people

[frosty sphinx]

@jade wing Noted m8. immensely appreciate your hindsight

[jade wing]

Of course anytime. I like to think of it like this.

How easy is it to use a scalpel during surgery?

The answer is easy. How to use that scalpel effectively though requires other skills be learned first. Else you are just cutting without purpose. Cutting without purpose leads to a dull blade and in this instance, likely other issues lol.

[glass nest]

Well... Cutting with purpose (you are in surgery after all), but without the foundational skills, the cuts will be all wrong

[idle ridge]

how do i see my points? sorry im new here

[glass nest]

Guten Morgan Dee! You still in the land of saurkraut and Currywurst?

[upper knoll]

Nah bro your a saviour of half this server I swear

[upper knoll]

Yer it’s my last day I’m not okay rn honestly

Idk when I’ll be able to come back and see my gf again so I’m a sad bean rn

[rapid merlin]

awww

[glass nest]

Eh, you'll find the time. Germany is easy to get to, so taking a long weekend isn't outside the realms of possibility

[upper knoll]

Yer when I finally get a job and have more money to justify it

[glass nest]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHM94Wg92T0

A Oooooold video, but something to think about 😄

[upper knoll]

The round trip didn’t cost me anything more than £130

More I’ve been unemployed for a hot minute

Or a hot 6 years

[glass nest]

You got any 'hustles'? Crafting, flipping stuff on ebay, gig work?

[upper knoll]

No

[idle ridge]

is there a way to make my machines look cooler?

[glass nest]

Lets find ya one.

[upper knoll]

I’ve helped look after my grandad while I got my head and body right

[cloud quiver]

Wdym by cooler 😄 ?

[upper knoll]

Of course while I’m gone that man falls over and hurt himself (he’s okay)

[upper knoll]

My plan this year was to start bug hunting in my spare time

[idle ridge]

like themes or change bgcolor

[upper knoll]

Some extra fun and good practice

[glass nest]

Dee: You compete in a robot competition, right? Or you did

[upper knoll]

I did

But we did

BADLY

[cloud quiver]

Yes , you can do that , of course 😄

[glass nest]

You know what would be cool? An ebook which covers 'how to build a robot from scratch'

[upper knoll]

Lowkey

I’m too dumb

[glass nest]

Shrug. You know more about it than I do. Plus you'd know where to start, what things to consider, challenges to overcome.

[jade wing]

I got into a car wreck that was pretty bad like two years ago and have been in litigation with both my insurance company and the person who hit med insurance company.

I finally got my offer back today after two years. These dudes offered me 14k lmao

[floral hawk]

Pretty sure that does exist. I have a print on building Drones, but never had the time.

[jade wing]

Needless to say we are now entering litigation and I will be taking it to court

Good ole American insurance

[glass nest]

Krel - I'm sure it does. But not one written by Dee.

[upper knoll]

Icl my planned hussle is for bug hunting I’d love the extra practice

[exotic vector]

thats my goal for this year as well :)

[glass nest]

We can all have more than one hustle 😄

[upper knoll]

This is true

But my long form text is not good my dyslexia is a wild one

[exotic vector]

atm im just catching up on whats going on at CES lol

[brisk tree]

does anyone write notes then accidently start writing the line below it half way through or just me

[jade wing]

I’m not even sure what you mean lol

[glass nest]

Eh, Challenges like that can be overcome. plus, you don't need to get it perfect 1st time around.

[upper knoll]

Yes

[glass nest]

Point is, theres so much more you are able to do 🙂

[upper knoll]

Uhhhh my personality type doesn’t do that so good

[brisk tree]

i was writing one sentence then started looking at the one below without realising and started writing that instead

[jade wing]

Oh yea, that has definitely happened to me before

The brain is a silly thing

[glass nest]

And so theres a skill to be learned.

[brisk tree]

thankfully tipex exists ahaha

[upper knoll]

They gave me laptops for all my work and notes in school

So that didn’t happen and people could read it

[jade wing]

I keep all most notes digital nowadays I have like a massive library from all the things I have done and learned over the years at this point.

[brisk tree]

i use that too just find it goes in my brain better written down and if the electricity goes off i have my notes there ahaha

[jade wing]

Makes it a lot easier to maintain or correct mistakes when I make them.

[upper knoll]

That happened mid exam to me

[jade wing]

Fair. I feel the same way writing it down does help with retention.

[glass nest]

Thats just one example, Dee. There are loads of different hustles.

[upper knoll]

My laptop just died and I didn’t realise

[upper knoll]

Yer I’m down honestly I need some

[floral hawk]

And what level are you planning to be before looking for bugs?

[brisk tree]

when i was at college i had a friend who 3 days before he had to submit his final project his whole pc broke the hard drive too and he didnt have backups

[glass nest]

Dictation exists. I think it's even integrated with Word nowadays.

[exotic vector]

I need to find some example bug hunt reports, I need to see what the difference is compared to the type of reports I'm use to writing.

[jade wing]

Eh the levels here don’t mean much other than site accomplishments to be fair. It’s just a site level not really indicative of a persons level in real life

[upper knoll]

Knowledge is more important than level

[glass nest]

indicative. Good word 😄

[exotic vector]

im not planning on being a particular level on thm.
im back to free account now so where I was in paths is kinda screwed up now lol But I do have a lot of books on hacking/cyber security.

So now I continue to do THM but i'm using a lot more resources outside of THM and I also do CTFs on hackthissite

[lethal prairie]

has anyone here done the ec council cybersecurity attack and defense fundamental course?

[glass nest]

(and you are smashing them, fae)

[floral hawk]

I meant knowledge level.

[lethal prairie]

also where do you all wish you wouldhv started in the beginning of cybersecurity

[glass nest]

I wish I had hydrated more. very important

[jade wing]

I’ve reviewed it with some of my employers that have gone after it. It was good for what it was and price was ok since the company paid for it. I personally wouldn’t pay out of pocket for it though.

[upper knoll]

Practicing more Linux and networking

[glass nest]

asbii - And I wish there was a thing like THM back when I started.

[floral hawk]

Hah, also have a lot of books on this. I probably won't read some of them. Got interested in Web3 security lately and want to do bounties there.

[glass nest]

would have made everything so much easier

[pliant nebula]

hey guys, it lools like I won a swag voucher, but the shipping charges are more than the voucher value

[proven vigil]

imagine you wanted to write as but you put an extra s
imagine you wanted to write hello but you didn't putted o 🔥
imagine you wanted to write sup but you forgot to put p so now it is asking for user password

[lethal prairie]

i have some understanding of only html and css because i am trying to idk find what intrests me more in the field of coumputer science so im wandering around and finding out

[lethal prairie]

ohh, what is thm

[exotic vector]

I am lol I'm actually surprised how relatively quickly im getting through them.

[pliant nebula]

tryhackme short form

[glass nest]

It's the website that is linked to this Discord server

[floral hawk]

That hell part, I am usually doing those typos deliberately. 'orc instead of work... etc.

[lethal prairie]

isnt it like 50 dollars?

[glass nest]

I'm not. You've learned more than you realise 🙂

[lethal prairie]

ohhh tryhackme

[proven vigil]

😂 👍

[jade wing]

I’ll be honest any engineer worth their salt is going to need to know operating systems, and networking at a bare minimum.

Networking is massively important in almost every single field of tech.

[lethal prairie]

what are yall doing lately what, have yall achived

[lethal prairie]

indeed it is

[hot current]

ctf ptsd

[lethal prairie]

i honestly wont see it as a loss even if i do go through with this course, i just prefer something more engaging and under my control rather than sitting through long lectures that make me sleepy

[jade wing]

The one my guys did they got sent to a class that wanted to take it and it cost like 2k

But you can enroll for free

[floral hawk]

HTML and CSS is styling/markup and not programming. I'd suggest to take a stab at network requests in Go. That should cover several disciplines at the same time.

[jade wing]

And the the cost of the cert may be low.

In person training is expensive though no matter what

[lethal prairie]

i am aware, i was interesting is web designing in the beginning but again im not gonna go through with it before wandering around a bit

[jade wing]

You really are a massive fan of go huh lol?

I would recommend you learn js next if you learned html and css already

It at least gives you a career path in web dev so you can get money in your pocket as a jr web dev

Then use that money and snowball further in your career

Then learn react. None of these will get you into cyber security alone but if you already have foundations might as well get money in your pocket while you study with a job in it

[floral hawk]

In EU (or at the very least Czechia), you can get up to 90% of the in person course refunded. There can be a certification like CEH in price, so you would basically pay the cost of certification and got training paid for by the state. There is a limit how much they refund you and these state-subsidized courses are overprices, since the state is paying it anyway. Nevertheless, you can almost get it for free like the cert.

[lethal prairie]

thats a good idea, honestly im might end up feeling bit guilty on wandering too much and spending my families money on courses ykwim

[jade wing]

That’s really cool.

[arctic elbow]

Hi. Is anyone know how to create a room without a chart and scoreboard?

[jade wing]

Sure I get you. I came to a similar cross roads when I was younger and had to do what I had to do to get money in my pocket.

[cloud quiver]

How should have an option to disable that when you're creating room 🙂

[lethal prairie]

and im not planning on getting a degree in cs, im not the biggest fan of the thought of taking on coumputer science as my major in uni, rather i just was a skill and experiance in this field on the side

[floral hawk]

No. I have only briefly tried it, I am getting good in Rust. But Go is extremely powerful for writing simple scripts that even neophyte can understand/write after a few hours with documentation.

[jade wing]

So I modded the hell out of cyber punk. Check this out:

I know it’s off topic but just wanted to share. Game looks wild now.

[atomic atlas]

that’s so cool 😭

[arctic elbow]

just option for enable visible the chart and scoreboard

[atomic atlas]

do you dream of being a netrunner as well ?

[lethal prairie]

yeah, i dont need to struggle to get the courses i want to do but i think id just feel better if i did it with my own money, ill take you advice in account

[exotic vector]

you can make cyberpunk look hyper realistic its wild lol

[jade wing]

I have since before the game even came out. I just didn’t have a name for it yet. Maybe one day lol.

[lethal prairie]

damn cool

[jade wing]

Yea it’s really a mind bending experience. Throw it on a VR headset and it gets real mind numbing.

[exotic vector]

I can barely get 60 fps on medium settings in cyberpunk I wont be modding the game any time soon

[jade wing]

Haha fair. I actually specifically upgraded my rig to achieve that and good fps over the holiday.

[teal charm]

TryHackMe?

[atomic atlas]

I don’t know if that’s just me but do you and maybe other people in there got inspired by Lester Crest also ? the guy that organise the heists in GTA 😭🤣

[jade wing]

Even my 3080 was struggle bussing.

[jade wing]

Not me personally but I was inspired heavily by “Hiro” from “Snow Crash”

[exotic vector]

I have AMD setup but the cpu is now old the gpu is still ok.
But cyberpunk has all the fancy nvidia stuff and they still wont put fsr3.1 in the game so on amd hardware you have to brute force the game.

And the new gpus that are coming out dont impress me either

[jade wing]

Yea I’m not going to upgrade to the 50xx series. I’ll skip that generation.

[glass nest]

Eh. I never got on the 'hyper-real graphics for games' thing.

[atomic atlas]

I didn’t know him but he looks way cooler than Lester haha

[cloud quiver]

Yeah , that should be it 🙂

[exotic vector]

same, its often really jarring.

[jade wing]

I mean I’m not after everything being hyper realistic that I play. My tastes are fairly eclectic. But this game in particular I think benefited from it. As is stock, at ultra settings it was already trying to achieve a realistic theme and look. I just helped nudge it along.

[exotic vector]

im watching a vid and someone got cyberpunk looking really realistic with only 2 mods on and its running on a 3050 jeez

nova lut and gits legacy <--- the mods

[rapid merlin]

I want to play this game at some point: VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action

[exotic vector]

my friends love that game so much

[rapid merlin]

oh cool 🙂

[exotic vector]

there is another cyberpunk themed game I want to play but I dont remember what its called. It has a really interesting story

[rapid merlin]

oh!

[cloud quiver]

Tron , maybe 🙂 ?

[rapid merlin]

Cloudpunk was another cyberpunk like indie game

Tron had a great arcade game, with the unique controller

[glass nest]

and the bikes 😄

[rapid merlin]

super fun 🙂

and also Robotron 2084

[glass nest]

Such a simple concept for a game. caused so much rage 😄

hi guy, i've a question. can I find a job with tryhackme certificate ?

[sick lance]

With a really strong network

[stoic quarry]

Getting a job solely from certificates would be hard. I'd recommended working on projects that interest you, seeing what jobs are looking for, and getting an entry level IT job

[errant fossil]

Low Chances, Probably aim to get a few industry certs like Sec+, Net+, CCNA , etc. but TryHackMe is a great starting point to get a good understanding of the basics.

[polar holly]

Remember with the THM certs you're only exposed to the industry, it's not exactly a cert to get you into an interview, however I heard about a success story from somebody who I introduced THM to. They worked in the bank and with the THM cert the bank got them working in their SOC center as a SOC level 1 and they worked themselves up to SOC level 2 within the bank, but that is an exception and not the hard rule on this.

[rapid merlin]

To be honest, we expected this result. But getting certified from a solid institution like HTB isn't necessary. The program's teaching style is great, and the price is pretty reasonable. Overall, it seems like a good investment.

[sick lance]

This isn't HTB 🙂

[stoic quarry]

So, their network got them in

[rapid merlin]

I’m giving the kitten strokes everywhere so when he’s older he doesn’t bite with tummy rubs

[polar holly]

Kinda, but not really. The bank they're working for is always hiring within their IT department and they're always looking to get their employees into the departments that makes most sense for the employees. So HR saw he posted the cert he got and invited him for an interview. Obviously if he failed the interview they'd not have taken him, but yeah network is key.

[rapid merlin]

I don’t have a network

[sick lance]

My order cat forces you to rub his tummy.

Unless he wants his head scratched.

[stoic quarry]

That's a good idea

[polar holly]

Noice. I love to give them kittens belly rubs but always get a paw to the face as as a result. Glad you're teaching them not to. 😉🤣

[polar holly]

Don't worry me neither unless I count the foresters around here as my network, but they're mostly interested in trees and not IT

[sick lance]

Bloody hell Outlook, almost 3 min(s) to load up an E-mail.

[rapid merlin]

He’s playful

His little bites are so cute

[rapid merlin]

So I'm dead, because I don't know anyone who works in the cybersecurity field.

[sick lance]

then start.

You have here.

LinkedIn.

[rapid merlin]

I always see cats bite from getting their belly rubbed or down their sides so I want to make sure this one is chill.

[sick lance]

Hell, I connected with someone at a company so well I was invited to their Xmas night out.

[rapid merlin]

Do we have a channel for socials ?

[sick lance]

We do not, we had one in the past, but people just abused it.

[rapid merlin]

Ah okay

[sick lance]

I think we had one, I know we had soem sort of advertisement channel, but people just used it to try and gro their server.

[rapid merlin]

I should really start collecting LinkedIn from people I speak to in here

[sick lance]

I only have 2 or 3 people on my Linkedin from this server.

Hell, I found some of the room testers on LinkedIn and haven't connected with them.

^ tbf, they did mention me in their post. 😄

[rapid merlin]

some places might even have local hacker meetup events too

[sick lance]

^

[rapid merlin]

that can be really fun to network with people

[polar holly]

@rapid merlin you can always start by randomly looking into companies and following the hiring managers. Start OSINTing for the job you want... It's what a buddy of mine once said and it actually works.

[sick lance]

In the UK we have Bsides and such.

Well, Bsides is all over.

We have Hack-Glasgow in May.

[rapid merlin]

I’ve never heard of that 👁️👄👁️

Isn’t Glasgow in Scotland though

[shut hawk]

For starters, you have everyone here - I managed to get a job this way

[rapid merlin]

So far

[sick lance]

We used to have a Defcon Glasgow but that stopped.

Abertay Uni have a yearly event to, Securi-tay

[rapid merlin]

I went to a cyber security event once and regretted it massively

[sick lance]

Why?

[rapid merlin]

It’s a long story I can’t share here

[cloud quiver]

Congrats , great job , I am so happy to hear this 😄 . Enjoy your new keyboard and remember to visit THM regularly 😄 .

[rapid merlin]

But what I can share is that I went to drink from a coke at that event and coughed mid sip absolutely soaking a bunch of rich people drinking fancy alcohol. That was another thing

😆

Can’t go nowhere I swear

[sick lance]

Follow on from Jayy, I'm sure he got the job I was also offered.

[polar holly]

@rapid merlin it's because you went there... You shouldn't attend cyber security events, you should hack them ... 🤪 No but seriously, try to go next time with friends and just hang out. If something is meant to catch your interest it certainly would while you're distracted. It's how I venture into any and all fairs. I usually walk out more satisfied than what i can ever imagine. Don't worry about the coughed coke, those silly pricks wouldn't dare allow me close to them. I'm a menace at fairs and get togethers. Once spilled ketchup on a girls suite as I took a big bite out of a sub.

[sick lance]

THM started 3 new people yesterday.

[polar holly]

Will do bud.

[dark frost]

You can add me

[rapid merlin]

I actually went with someone who was in my cyber security boot camp at the time. She was cool 😎

[split compass]

I am missing the final shmoo. 😭😭😭

[rapid merlin]

One of like four women in my class but I usually get drawn to the old people

[polar holly]

You see that's how they hook you, by allowing you to go with the cool kids and spill coke on rich guys... 🤣

[rapid merlin]

oh great

[split compass]

If I were anywhere in Europe I'd probably check out CCC. If that's still a thing.

[rapid merlin]

I think she was so embarrassed for me 😆 There was also a competition where you could win said bottle of expensive alcohol and I was like ewww champagne

[sick lance]

I'm sure there a CCC event in the last week or so.

[rapid merlin]

I don’t think before I speak

Now it was a bottle of FANTA

[polar holly]

Nah you're right. Champagne sucks. You need a more sophisticated drink than that. Something like a Fanta or a Sprite or a Mountain Dew.

[sick lance]

Dr Pepper is my weakness!

[polar holly]

And that's really not a bad thing really. Wish a lot more people do that.

[rapid merlin]

Yeah for real. Champagne is gross af I don’t know why people drink that

[sick lance]

Ice cold Dr pepper.

[rapid merlin]

I drunk to is a lot when I was younger

[polar holly]

A Dr. Pepe would slap right now.

[sick lance]

I still drink it now.

[split compass]

My favourite win the alcohol I've seen was Deviant Ollam had, I think it was an old mail sorting box? Different liquor in each box, pick the progressively harder locks to win the bottle. 😁

[rapid merlin]

Also that was my first time out the house to an event in years. I don’t even know how to act at these events XD

[rapid merlin]

My dad got a calendar for Christmas that had those chocolates filled with alcohol in them. I had one

[polar holly]

I don't even know how to act in public. I just treat each place like a circus and I'm the clown.

[rapid merlin]

The one I had I really liked

[polar holly]

Oh nice what did it have in?

[rapid merlin]

Same aha

Let me see if I can find the name

[devout palm]

Stealth changed color

Congratz!

[rapid merlin]

It was a whiskey

[rapid merlin]

Thank you

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @devout palm (current: #28 - 341)

[polar holly]

Wait I only saw that now 🥹 so happy for you @rapid merlin GG's

[stoic quarry]

Popped my shoulder at the gym

Oopsies!

[split compass]

Went to HOPE in 2016, that was my one and only physical security con I have attended so far.

I was a mess, but met cool people, and got a couple photos with Int80 because he was there to give a talk.

(Singer from a nerdcore duo called Dual Core.)

[polar holly]

Oh nice. So was it the chocolate that was awesome or the liquor?

[stoic quarry]

Nice

[rapid merlin]

Trying to find the name in my history because I looked up how much a bottle would be

😆

[rapid merlin]

Thank you

[stoic quarry]

My sibling and I snuck chocolate liquors when we were definitely of age 🫡, they're great

[polar holly]

Do let me know... Wish December was here already so I can go buy gifts again.

[split compass]

I mean, you were of age somewhere, just never let us know where you were. 😉

[stoic quarry]

🤐

[polar holly]

Bro my first experience with alcohol was sneaking sips from my gran's cooking brandy at young ages. Do think she realized but decided to ignore it.

[rapid merlin]

I think it was the Drambuie brand

[split compass]

Loch Lomond is pretty decent.

[polar holly]

those are liquers

[rapid merlin]

I’m not 100% sure though

[polar holly]

Never mind found them

They do sell whisky too. Just google didn't show those to me.

[rapid merlin]

Ah okay

[stoic quarry]

Blue label

[split compass]

I'm of the mind, let them experience it at home under safe environments so they don't do something stupid and get in a situation later.

[rapid merlin]

Some people are calling it a whiskey liquor

I don’t know what that means but if it tastes good then that’s all I need to know

[polar holly]

Don't have any kids, but that seems like that was my gran's recipe for raising kids too.

[polar holly]

It's how it's branded on their site, but regardless people like what they like. I like me a good Belgravia Gin

[rapid merlin]

Right today I’m gonna do my makeup and try to this wig on

[polar holly]

Now that's a bit steep of a price to pay.

[polar holly]

Don't forget the red nose... Kidding of course, but regardless whatever you do, just enjoy it.

[rapid merlin]

I think you’re mistaking me for my ex

[stoic quarry]

Gottem

[polar holly]

Wouldn't know, but makeup and wig without actual context make me think clown, but it's all in jest in the end.

[rapid merlin]

complex authentication passwords can be the best field sobriety test 😁

[polar holly]

Okay all I need to go and actually get out of bed. It's almost 2pm and I need to be at work today at 5pm for a late shift.

[rapid merlin]

Gawd I wanna buy a neon pallet some day so I do all my cyber inspired makeup

[sick lance]

It is.

Great to swim in.

[polar holly]

Would love to see how that turns out

[rapid merlin]

I used to have loads of wigs but now I don’t have lots

[polar holly]

Nice. So that was your collection. All I collect lately are dust bunnies.

Okay all jokes aside. Loving and leaving you all. Bye.

[rapid merlin]

Alright cyas, take care

[stoic quarry]

Cya!

[split plover]

Next level of manipulation 🤣

If you want to be the parent who gets a call from your kids at 2am instead of the cops or hospital at 3am, it's the only logical choice.

[exotic vector]

I found a Bsides group thats kinda near me

[split compass]

Reminds me of the Claude story I saw recently about the helpfulness first nature of AI LLM training.

[rapid merlin]

I recall asking AI about mistakes it had made in the past which revealed interesting info

[sick lance]

How close?

[exotic vector]

hour and 10 mins by train

[split compass]

The civilized way to travel. 😅

#site-support

[mossy fiber]

okk

[steel aspen]

Is there any reason why my VM Internet is slow but host machine is good?

[mossy fiber]

my badd

[steel aspen]

It did it all of a sudden. Can't find much from Google.

[exotic vector]

check to see what resources the VM have been allocated would be a good place to start.

[steel aspen]

I've done the best for each thing without overdoing it

22mb download on vm

[half berry]

how good is this name for a cybersecurity company - > Velooxa

[steel aspen]

154mb download on host

[weak quiver]

AoC main + All the side quest but sadly got no prize

[errant fossil]

what about shortening it to Veloxa and calling it Veloxa Security

or Velux Security

Both of the names are available to be registered

[rapid merlin]

I love this wig ☺️

I wonder if I can get away with wearing this out

[half berry]

but, veloxa.com is not availabe, from my perspective, something abstract and unique might be interesting.

[exotic vector]

oooo what wig you got?

[rapid merlin]

This one

I’ll leave the pic up for a minute

And then I’m deleting it

[errant fossil]

you could go for veloxa.co.uk or veloxasecurity.com

[rapid merlin]

I’m gonna dance around the flat

[half berry]

Thank you for your feedback. but I like velooxa more.

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @errant fossil (current: #226 - 31)

[worldly cedar]

You really not afraid haha

[errant fossil]

looks like natural hair, 100% could get away wearing it

[rapid merlin]

You were too slow 😆

[errant fossil]

Yw, Ofc go for it, wish you all the luck with it

[sick lance]

You got knowledge.

That's a good thing.

[half berry]

but I also have this -> PwnFriends.com (for community)

[worldly cedar]

Hello my friends,
I’m actually a student on stage and during the Time I have nothing to do, I’d like to practice on TryHackMe. But the problem is the compagny’s computer is on Windows and for some security reasons, I can’t download anything ( tools like nmap or else for example) . How can I do?

[worldly cedar]

You not Scared to show your self there? xD

[rapid merlin]

Nope

[worldly cedar]

Rare to see haha, Nice

[rapid merlin]

My mum always said when it’s your time to die, then that’s that

[half berry]

use a virtual machine like vmware or virtualbox and try to install linux.

[worldly cedar]

Peaceful way to see

[errant fossil]

thats pretty good, what kind of community are you going for?

[worldly cedar]

I don’t think I can install it as I said

hehe i know but dont want to lol

[half berry]

oh, sorry. you mean it's company's computer? then you shouldn't actually.

[half berry]

ofc, infosec

[worldly cedar]

Np, can I find online virtual machines?

[exotic vector]

I was because I was studying v_v

[errant fossil]

That sounds great, do let me know when you set it up. Would love to join

[steel aspen]

Why is nothing helping in Google this stupid vm is pissing me off

[rapid merlin]

That’s just the truth 😇

[worldly cedar]

If Many people could think like you, that’d be good

[rapid merlin]

I’ll send you it

[sick lance]

@half berry please don't advertise in this server.

[half berry]

oh my bad.

[half berry]

send me a friend req.

[high kindle]

Why do t5 nmap scans don't work on thm machines I'm on vm by the way

[exotic vector]

you 100% should wear it outside

[sick lance]

They do.

But I'd not use -T5.

I'd use -T4 at the most.

[rapid merlin]

About to get wig snatched

[worldly cedar]

Is there a way to find online virtual machine guys?

[rapid merlin]

🤣

[weak quiver]

Got my 107 days streak back in 1 hour

[high kindle]

@sick lance It says Warning: 10.10.166.250 giving up on port because retransmission cap hit (2).

[sick lance]

Look up what that error is. 🙂

[worldly cedar]

I mean on Google or somewhere else without downloading

[weak quiver]

Linode was an American cloud hosting provider that focused on providing Linux-based virtual machines and cloud infrastructure. WAS

[high kindle]

That's what I am asking it's on thm machine I did nmap -sT for full tcp connection -sV -T5 for max speed and -p- for all ports

And sV for server version

[small heath]

Anyone here currently working as a threat hunter?

[sick lance]

Yes, and if you research that reply, it will tell you what the possible issues are.

[exotic vector]

you look sooooo good

[high kindle]

Okay have good day scrubz

Maybe some of these guys https://discord.com/channels/521382216299839518/707992725646999553 🙂

KGB you got any prize from AoC ?

[sick lance]

Every time I switch channels, it take sme half way up. Stop it Discord.

[high kindle]

Why?

[cloud quiver]

No 🙂

[weak quiver]

i remember you said you dont do much ctfs now

[worldly cedar]

I repeat my question : is there a way to find virtual machines on Google withoit downloading anything PLEASE ??

[high kindle]

You can host it on the cloud like I did for project for free but it can be easily hacked

[rapid merlin]

Thank you

I just need to practice for tryhackme

But i’m on compagny’s computer

[sick lance]

If people didn't answer you the first time, then I'd take that as an answer.. 😅

[sick lance]

Then no, we will NOT help you.

[small heath]

Im about to take the role but have some questions to someone in the field

[high kindle]

How much storage ram cpu processors and os are you running I will try my best also gpu might help me to explain

[worldly cedar]

They could tell me that there is not

[sick lance]

I don't know != No, there isn't.

[worldly cedar]

It’s not forbidden to get ressource from internet

[high kindle]

#cyber-and-careers ask here man but just for everything in it learn linux

[worldly cedar]

No response for me = didn’t see the question xd

[worldly cedar]

Uh idk need to find

[high kindle]

Then you can't you need admin acsses to your pc and you need experience cause its pretty hard and you need to be ethical so I'll not help

[sick lance]

You're using a computer which does not belong to you, nobody will assist you in this as you don't own the hardware.

[small heath]

Linux won’t be an issue haha no i have a bit more in depth questions. But ill ask them in careers

[sick lance]

Moderation actions may happen if people do assist with this. 🙂

[worldly cedar]

I did’nt said that I want to do anything weird and that’s why I asked if there is anything online on internet just like saying if a kind of website exist., I don’t want to download shit on compagny’s computer I’m not stupid

[sick lance]

I never said you were stupid, this is to ensure nobody tries to send you something stupid.

[worldly cedar]

I still want to keep my job 😆

What about doing it on my phone ?

Possible ?

[high kindle]

@sick lance Can I help him? Cause like maybe he got premission but I'm 90% sure he don't

[sick lance]

Moderation actions may happen if people do assist with this

[high kindle]

Wdym

[sick lance]

If you're 90% sure that he doesn't, you've sort answered your own question dude. 🙂

[worldly cedar]

Ok sorry for that then

[high kindle]

Yeah prob I don't think a worker can acsses thm or htb machines while working

[worldly cedar]

Can I use a virtual machine on my phone ?

[high kindle]

Is it yours

[shut hawk]

yes but its not really recommended

[high kindle]

?

[shut hawk]

@rose tusk @mossy river my keyboard isn't that loud i swear

[sick lance]

That's all down to the orgs security and policies.

[worldly cedar]

On the computer

[high kindle]

Is the phone yours?

[worldly cedar]

Yes

[worldly cedar]
