[autumn thunder]

Guys which certification should a person who wants to be a digital forensic expert Or dfir should get like chfi

[sick lance]

BTL1 is a good start.

[high kindle]

What position are you in like expert worker or student

[autumn thunder]

Currently I'm a intern

[hot osprey]

What level are you looking for? Entry-level, Intermediate or Advanced?

[autumn thunder]

So u could say I'm a student

[autumn thunder]

Entry level

Since I'm new to this

[hot osprey]

List based on my personal knowledge and what is sought upon on companies from northern Europe, not being vendor-spesific as you yet don't know what forsenics tools you will work with. Currently doing my CISSP myself right now

Entry-Level Certifications
CompTIA Security+
CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CySA+)

Intermediate-Level Certifications
Certified Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI)
GIAC Certified Forensic Examiner (GCFE)
GIAC Certified Forensic Analyst (GCFA)

Advanced Certifications
Certified Forensic Computer Examiner (CFCE)
GIAC Network Forensic Analyst (GNFA)
GIAC Advanced Incident Response and Threat Hunting (GCIRT)
Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP)

[mossy river]

EC Council? 😬

[autumn thunder]

I'm taking screenshot of this thx you so much king

[opaque flax]

Good morning friends

[hot osprey]

Sorry there you go :)

[shut hawk]

GIAC certs are really good but super $$$$

[hot osprey]

Yeah. I recommend waiting to get a job for many of them. IMO a good work place will both pay for the certs and potencially a bonus for finishing it

[shut hawk]

So you really want to get your company to pay for them

[silver sky]

Depends on the organisation

[high kindle]

Is there a way to get the comptia networking a+ I think it called for free

[hot osprey]

100%. Did some CompTia certs as a student myself. Not really expensive and they offer student discounts. Additionally, I know THM offered a discount when finishing a learning path

[rose tusk]

you get 50% off via academics for CompTIA

[high kindle]

Aren't it like 200$

[opaque flax]

Its gotten more expensive

Comptia has raised price

[high kindle]

400$?

[wooden totem]

not super hard either

[hot osprey]

Compared to CISSP at $749 or OSCP starting at $1749 I would say CompTia is the best bang for you dollar

[wooden totem]

oscp is 1.7k??

[high kindle]

Is cisco good learning source out side thm and htb

[shut hawk]

yep.

it's ridiculous

[mossy river]

When did they increase the price? 🙏 😭

[sick lance]

Recently.

[shut hawk]

this year

new owners

[hot osprey]

Starting at 1.7k. For 365 lab access or multiple attempts you pay up to $6099

[mossy river]

I should've taken it back in 2020 when I was grinding through CTFs smh

[high kindle]

What I just wanted to get a job😭🙏

[rose tusk]

nah i don't hear anything

[wooden totem]

straight up a robbery

[shut hawk]

discord noise suppression doing wonders

[rose tusk]

multiple exams

[high mulch]

it sounds perfect imo

:P

[hot osprey]

Yup. But when your job pays for it you dont really mind. Especially in the consultancy labour, these certs are sought upon and you get payed a great hourly rate for them

[rose tusk]

yeah, it's good, better than the teams one for sure

[high kindle]

If I do cert every month it will cost me as renting a house

Idk if that's bullets or your keyboard

[high mulch]

felt that lol

The essential concept is that as you trend towards a higher number > greater period of time, you always trend towards a greater degree of uncertainty. Even if the sequence is theoretically absolute and unchanging, it will "eventually" undergo randomness.

[mossy river]

I'm happy for someone to create a bingo sheet.

BUT we need some ground rules:

• No baiting
  • This means no trying to get users to admit they are breaking the rules or help you mark squares off
• Do not interact with rule breakers
  • this includes saying things like "I can mark this off on my bingo sheet", or responding to rule breakers with GIFs
• You must keep a screenshot of the scenario
  • This will help us determine if it counts towards that square or not
• You must be present at the time of it occurring, no scrolling up in chat
• No pinging other users playing bingo to help them get their squares marked off

If you win bingo, I will give you a free TryHackMe subscription.

IF ANY RULES ARE BROKEN, you are immediately disqualified. Does this sound fair?

[karmic hemlock]

you could say that 17 times

[opaque flax]

Do you want me to?

Idk if jabba would like it

[karmic hemlock]

probably not

[opaque flax]

I feel like the bot would mute me

[rapid merlin]

but i feel like you are the type of person that have the motivation to do it

[shy lion]

I take the blame, won't happen again

[opaque flax]

Is that a bet?

[rapid merlin]

oh no...

[high kindle]

@rapid merlin I know it's kind of bit(hy for me to say but if you got hunted sorry like it don't matter I still go muted but yeah sorry

[shy lion]

I mean, was this hardest thing to ask for

[opaque flax]

I mean no one is going to put that effort in

[mellow gull]

You're asking someone to provide free professional development, brother.

[opaque flax]

Especially for free

You’re asking somebody to coach you and teach you for free

And create lesson plans

[mellow gull]

Arrange Everyday Lectures
Like, comeon dude...

[rapid merlin]

dont think even a single professional would be able to do it

[opaque flax]

And install requirements

[high kindle]

And track his lessons and performance

[opaque flax]

It’s almost like educational institutions have tons of personnel to do this

[high kindle]

And make python lab for him

[mellow gull]

Ironically installing the requirements is probably the easiest part.

[mossy river]

Don't ask don't get

[opaque flax]

And something he should do himself

[rapid merlin]

Can you make sense

[rapid merlin]

it took me a whole day to figure out how to install and run Vscode the very first day of my journey LOL

[blazing granite]

@opaque flax how was the training?

What'd I break now!?

[half girder]

slowly filling ^^

[opaque flax]

VMware workstation pro. It has better performance. As a side note did you adjust how many resources you’re giving the vm?

[mellow gull]

Maybe not verified should be "I can't post pictures?"

[topaz topaz]

Yeah I did :/ VMware sounds premium, not sure I'd want to spend money on a cloud VM though if my PC should be sufficient theoretically

[opaque flax]

It’s free

[topaz topaz]

oh lol

[half girder]

well, i think the entry condition as "not verified" needs to be fullfilled

[high kindle]

Not a single creature all over the galaxy universe and more said that sentence and there's a reason why

[mellow gull]

Feels more like a free space thing if we're gonna have it since it's especially common

[opaque flax]

Good one

[half girder]

well, those who are verified usually dont hit the bingo cards ^^

[mellow gull]

Fair fair

[blazing granite]

ouch, that's bad for the job, and foolish for him, I'd take all the free knowledge I could I guess no everybody is like that

[opaque flax]

I mean I also had to walk a network technician through how to update sonicwall firmware earlier today too

[mellow gull]

Honestly if we observe long enough we'll probably fill it with events easily enough

[half girder]

pretty much, thats the plan ^^

[mellow gull]

I was gonna say "Are AoC prizes out yet?" but that won't apply for very long

[half girder]

yea thats over soon

[rapid merlin]

there's so many at the end

[blazing granite]

did he listen at least or you'll get the network tickets too 😉

[opaque flax]

I’m currently working on upgrading the crypto suite for the vpn on that specific firewall

Waiting till they update the firmware first

I’m gonna make a personalised one, I’ll put it in chat 😆

Maybe "Can someone buy me a sub? I don't have a lot of money blah blah blah"

[muted light]

Is it good decision to learn cyber security in agi era because people are saying agi going to come by 2025?

[opaque flax]

So sometimes I get network tickets

[half girder]

whats agi?

[boreal scarab]

[rapid merlin]

One specifically for people asking me

[upper knoll]

Lmao that’s vanilla to what I get

[upper knoll]

Ah yes that’s so close to replacing humans in any technical field

[half girder]

you can tell in dm, im disgusted and curious at the same lmao

[mossy river]

No this isn't going to happen anytime soon

[mellow gull]

I'm looking forward to the initial wave of AGI followed by immediate critical failures followed by a return to the norm

[upper knoll]

I’m guessing meme

[mellow gull]

The collation of IR and Pen Report data, even if you could automate cyber security operations entirely, would still need to be performed by a human being analyzing data and making it regular-person readable. That'll be the case for at least the next few decades.

[opaque flax]

They on ipv30 now?

[muted light]

Thanks guys for your valuable advice 😊

[split compass]

They've done away with IP, everything is on open broadcast frequencies, and just identifying hosts with PGP keys.

what do the numbers mean, mason?

https://tenor.com/view/cat-staring-in-the-window-wind-cat-alone-gif-15219056

[teal charm]

Hmm, I saw quite a few of youtubers meantioned OpenAI is developing AGI and will release it in 2027

[pine stratus]

it will be garbage

[teal charm]

You can search AGI if you want to know more

[opaque flax]

I’ve also seen people claim we’ve hit AGI now

[mellow gull]

We're in the era of data poisoning, folks

Especially against AI

[keen light]

most ai models are just openly sexist

[mossy river]

I'm fully convinced AGI is impossible

[mossy river]

It's because of the training data.

[modest thicket]

I'm fully convinced someone at Lockheed or Raytheon has it

[upper knoll]

Oh no

[opaque flax]

Ai models are ingesting their own training data too

We love hallucinations

[keen light]

Yeah if they train the on data from x.com we are all gonna die

[mellow gull]

A lot of AI models are actively degrading because of this and it's so funny.

[mossy river]

Training data on human history will result in a bias 🤷‍♂️

[upper knoll]

That weird new quantum chip I believe it was alaphbet have make me question it however I largely agree

[teal charm]

The OpenAI CEO quite confident AGI can be developed successfully.

[opaque flax]

It’s great I’ve started liking Google search more for actual trouble shooting

[upper knoll]

Well duh that’s how he gets paid

[opaque flax]

He needs to hype his product up

[modest thicket]

Wait till AGI gets thrown into a Tesla Optimus

[mellow gull]

At least you can brute force google into giving you exactly what you're looking for relatively easily.

No my company can’t do this cool buzz word (stock price crashes)

google gonna crack your rsa with shors algo

[opaque flax]

Yeah I’ve had chatgpt give me so much false information no matter how I change the query

I at times end up resorting to all caps yelling at it

[modest thicket]

then sell the new method of protection

[floral hawk]

It's an advanced database search. Does SQL look like a precursor to inteligence? No, hence I don't believe it can become AGI. AGI requires curiosity. Plus there are some quantum events being used in the brain, just unclear what they do exactly, binary can't replicate that.

[opaque flax]

It’ll remember me in the ai revolution

[modest thicket]

I almost started cussing at mine but then I remembered... what if it becomes sentient one day.. I want to be on its good side

[drowsy copper]

Hello, can i giveaway the $10 gift card that i got since i dont have any plans to buy any stuffs from thm store?

[mellow gull]

It's been fed false data as part of its training data, usually. It gives people slightly inaccurate information and they regurgitate it, then it eats up that information and returns slightly more stupid data, and the process repeats.

[pine stratus]

the thing is investors and many companies invested much on ai the only thing they can do so theey don't lose is convincing us that ai will change humanity

[sick lance]

Yes you can 😄

As long as you're not asking for payment.

[upper knoll]

I just use it to make my diet plans if it remembers me at least it will fed me

[opaque flax]

Google is already introducing post quantum encryption algos into their browser

[drowsy copper]

okay so im just gonna ss it here

[opaque flax]

Best use

[mossy river]

iRobot is a great case study. Not because of a robots uprising but because you cannot mimic human emotions.
Humans make decisions based on facts and their own emotions. Is it effective? No not always but not all decisions require just logic

[mellow gull]

AI isn't capable of learning, it's only capable of digesting and repeating information. It's a database that's about as smart as a 70 year old trying to tell google to find his son' facebook account.

[opaque flax]

I'm apprehensive of the "first hit on google" scenario.
Largely because people are incompetent at using search engines 😄
It'll be first hit for someone who knows how keywords work, but someone who should be talking to an LLM will get terrible responses sometimes.

[mellow gull]

Oh we're also missing the "how do I hack my friend?"

i have an iMac 2017 in hold for $150 (sale from 300)
iMac
whole computer
not too old
keeps me inside apple for communication
allows me to dual boot this iMac i am using

not a separate monitor for my Linux tower which lacks a monitor

[split compass]

"I have a problem, how do I show you the screenshot?"

[half girder]

well there are easy and difficult hits ^^

[grizzled wing]

the point was to get a monitor only

[mellow gull]

Well, a monitor probably won't be much less than 150$ tbf

At least a decent one, that is.

[grizzled wing]

actually this place has monitors for $45

yea,, they are just ok quality

[upper knoll]

Unless it’s super cheap one I agree with the above

Tryhackme has a free tier roadmap

just one minor thing, maybe change the right-most column {not verfied, green leaf and how do i hack a friend} up so those three dont line up, as they are usually all done by a new person

Starting from pre-security is the play

[half girder]

ohh new sticker?

[muted light]

No for ethical hacker brother 😀

[grizzled wing]

good pace is the time for a attackbox, i like using that, if i spend that time then its small steps to a long journey

You need good fundamentals and pre-security knowledge before you can do any kind of "ethical hacking."

Then you didn't win?

You are likely equating user experince of an integrated VNC connection to desktop with the smoothness of the VM.
Switch to accessing it using SPICE

[wooden totem]

remove the question mark

[scarlet lintel]

ahh
maybe i need to change some settings

[tired yacht]

pls dont say that 😭

[mellow gull]

Define what the running issues are. Is it choppy, unresponsive, or?..

[upper knoll]

Yer it pretty much can run on anything

[scarlet lintel]

kind off choppy

[split compass]

Yeah, that's the default console experience.

[upper knoll]

Most people didn’t win that’s life sometimes you win sometimes you lose. Icl the event for me was more of enjoyment and learning!

[split compass]

Basically it's a low-spec VNC implementation because it's meant for admin access, not desktop experience.

[mellow gull]

Did you not dedicate enough VRAM to the operations? It defaults to 1gb on virtualbox which is a little low.

[split compass]

SPICE is the solution.

[scarlet lintel]

maybe i increased that

[scarlet lintel]

ya

[tired yacht]

Nooooo 🥲 🥲

[wooden totem]

went to gamble but was tricked into learning 😔

[split compass]

It's UX issue, not system issue.

[jolly aspen]

I only did it for the prizes, not the stupid unbridled joy of learning and expanding skills

[upper knoll]

Yall are great don’t change you nerds

[jolly aspen]

Exactly

time refund demanded

[tired yacht]

yeahhh boi

Just checking alternative solutions before telling someone to go downloading a whole new project. VirtualBox runs Kali completely fine for me without any special software.

[jolly aspen]

I’m not old enough to gamble, breach of server rules!

[upper knoll]

Same

[split compass]

It's not a whole new project.

[upper knoll]

Skill issue

[split compass]

It's an alternative display interface for Virtualbox

[upper knoll]

Get the age+ dlc and come back

Comes with crippling responsibilities crippling pain and drinking sucks

[jolly aspen]

Spice tools are typically pre installed on vM instances

[split compass]

"Choppy" is the defautl console experience, because they're tuned for remote administration, not VDI use.

[tired yacht]

AOC

[mellow gull]

Might be because I got my ISO from Kali specifically for VirtualBox, then? If @scarlet lintel just got a default one that might explain the issues.

[dense needle]

Hello

[blazing granite]

I'm all for it, but a lot of times in a corporate env window sneak up on you 😂

[sick lance]

And what do you intend to do with the information?

[dense needle]

I lost my account

And im trying to get it back

[topaz quail]

yeah.. thats true

[sick lance]

Which account?

[jolly aspen]

😂

[dense needle]

Facebook

And

Bank

[sick lance]

Then contact meta support about getting your account back.

The bank should be easy, walk in to branch and tell them you've been hacked.

[mellow gull]

[dense needle]

Yeah but the problem is i have nothing connected to it

[sick lance]

@tired yacht there is a reason your gif keeps disappearing.

[dense needle]

So thats why

[tired yacht]

[sick lance]

Anything you do is illegal and/or unethical.

[dense needle]

[scarlet lintel]

i'll recheck it
what is your recommendations about the distribution of Ram

[sick lance]

As such, we won't discuss or teach in this server, this server is for TryHackMe

[tired yacht]

Hi. 2gb is good if you have low availability, but 4gb is optimal for hard use cases.

[sick lance]

I would not run anything less than 4GB for a VM.

[scarlet lintel]

okkie

[tired yacht]

Yeah me too it might break something

[scarlet lintel]

Guys adventofcyber2024 is super fun !!! i will play next year one too !!!

[karmic hemlock]

Emphasis on the skilled part, i have no idea what people are talking about in here half the time

[split compass]

My grandparents were both punch card programmers.
I got introduced to QBasic in 1991 at age 6, HTML in '93, IRC in 95 I think? 'round the same time I was playing with VRML 3dML and an online game that is reminiscent of Second Life's building system that I no longer remember the name of.

I guess modding game files for Duke Nukem 3d was a thing too.

[near sapphire]

wow

[mellow gull]

I miss Duke Nukem.

[near sapphire]

i wanna try coding with punch cards

[proven vigil]

i have IT background and bro have web development and programming background 💀

[proven vigil]

what is punch cards bro

[opaque flax]

It’s a really
Old way of programming

[opaque flax]

The defcon data duplication village lets you learn and make your own punch cards!

[wooden totem]

[proven vigil]

respect to peoples who did cause if i do respect one day when we will get old they (future generation) will respect us too

[modest thicket]

someone should make a #history channel where people can post their favorite historical videos about the history of computers, coding, etc.

[proven vigil]

i wonder what would http 6-7 would look like

[opaque flax]

1s and 0s feeding the code line by line

[split compass]

I do way more sys and network admin/engineering than programming.
But have always leveraged scripting (Mostly BASH, PowerSHell and Python) to accelerate that.

[scarlet lintel]

woow wwooowww wwowww
genetic programmer

[topaz quail]

🙂 yes... i remember people doing punch card then there was a wave of COBOL

[cinder cloak]

i do not wish to flood #room-bugs with grammar but this room has a lot of mistakes 💔

[proven vigil]

🫡 your gonna get a good job ig i just do networking pentesting and web pentesting

[mossy river]

You have my full support to nit pick and post it all in #room-bugs :)

[split compass]

Definitely gonna have to post the story of that time Dade Murphy thwarted a hacker who was using a virus called DaVinci to disrupt oil shipping.
