I know, I'm just presenting an opinion

[proven vigil]

i heard it in a cybersecurity related movie ig

[proven vigil]

sure you can 👍

[proven vigil]

how many rooms i have to do to get to 'hacker' btw ?

[split plover]

Hacker 2016 Alex denyulike

[mellow narwhal]

You have to get 4000 points, I believe

You earn around ~100 or more points on completing a room

Depends on the room's difficulty

[proven vigil]

yes

[proven vigil]

like how much on medium, hard and easy ?

[cinder cloak]

this is actually how i got into cybersecurity more lol. i did programming for a while before getting interested in networking recently and now specifically cybersecurity

inspired by watching videos

[mellow narwhal]

Not sure, I solved 3 to 4 medium rooms today and got points in the range of 90-180 for each

I don't remember the exact points per room

[scarlet lintel]

yay

[proven vigil]

thanks for the estimate

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @mellow narwhal (current: #375 - 15)

[modest thicket]

I think that would be great. I have videos I would share that may peak the interest of others, encouraging their pursuit of things Cyber related. In turn, this may direct individuals to THM, in turn turning profits. In turn, potentially saving the world from nuclear destruction by inspiring the worlds next great ethical hacker. In turn, creating a better future for us all

[cinder cloak]

can i ask howd you get into cybersecurity then

[snow cove]

Hey everyone. Who can give an advice about setting home lab on like purple teaming. There will be like me trying to hack, also some SIEM maybe, where I can also look for logs and what happened. Which resources are good to build that kind of lab?

Is it okay I'd do nmap on t5 mod on thm machines cause it can ddos them if it's sending so much requests no?

[sick lance]

It could, but it would only be your machine, so it would be ok for everyone else.

[mossy river]

It won't DDoS the machines but it might lead to false positives

[rapid merlin]

Crashing so hard

[mossy river]

Also DDoS is from multiple machines. One machine would be DoS.

[high kindle]

Then how do the machines run like I thought they are on thm servers

[modest thicket]

As my cells entropied through the years and I labored various occupations, I decided I wanted a more lucrative, and hopefully flexible occupation.

[mellow gull]

It's part of instancing. You might compromise the instance but not the entire server.

Weird thing to ask about

[naive violet]

AWS EC2 instances (VM)

[opaque flax]

I can’t imagine how much it would take to ddos a whole data center

[cinder cloak]

anyone here have ways to get into Cybersecurity Internships? Currently in college ;-;

[cinder cloak]

have you tried your schools career center

[jolly parcel]

not yetttt, they expect us to start on May

so no career center yet

[high kindle]

What like I did the network services 2 mysql machine if I hack it do I hack the machine or thm like the machines not run locally or on thm

[modest thicket]

Does your university have a career center or are they affiliated with Handshake?

[cinder cloak]

i was about to say handshake

😦

[jolly parcel]

they have a career center yes but not affiliated with handshake though

whats a handshake

[mellow gull]

You're only interacting with a single machine that's being instanced on the server, as part of a block. You're not interacting with the THM server itself.

[cinder cloak]

it like indeed but for college students

[jolly parcel]

ohhh its a website?

[cinder cloak]

yes

try emailing the career center and asking them about it

[jolly parcel]

thats cool to know, do you guys have any general tips in applying/interviewing for an internship, kinda nervous to start as an IT Student while studying cyber sec ;-;

[cinder cloak]

they might say to wait but they probably have resources available

I prioritise rehabilitation but their lack of attempt to even change after the verbal warnings was more than enough.

[stoic quarry]

It's a degree, I'd say get some hands on experience but a masters is good too

[wary ocean]

imo its overkill, depending on the college, the college im going to a bachelors is all i technically need and a masters would just look fancy

[dark frost]

In France i would say only a Master in Lyon or Paris are worth something of great value

[floral hawk]

It's skills that is valuable. I wouldn't spend 4-6 years getting a degree, unless you want to socialize etc. You can have better lab at home and learn faster.

However, if you want to spend on education, do have a mentor

After you get some experience going through THM or HTB content, you can benefit from having a mentor helping you out specialize and guide your career. I've recently hired one for Rust they can help with one or two meeting per month and ocassionally helping you via text

[stoic quarry]

That can be a teacher

[finite tulip]

Either I missed all of the messages or I subconsciously blocked them out of my mind

If you want to know more, send me friend request. I am going away now.

Either way, for the best.

[atomic atlas]

ok thank you so much I’ve never thought of it that way but at school there is alot of people that knows more and are willing to teach so a mentor is a huge asset !

[finite tulip]

I saw him "apologizing" once but I didn't know why

cyber has a lot of toxicity imo as with any community

[stoic quarry]

Yeah it does, IT in general can get pretty bad

[true urchin]

The Internet has a lot of toxicity in general.

[jolly aspen]

people can be innately toxic, expecially when pitted in competition

[finite tulip]

he said it wasn't pg 13, didn't say sorry, I see after rereading that message
also he said after that to just move on

[wary ocean]

true true, ive seen it a lot in cyber tho when asking general questions in other communities

[atomic atlas]

ok I’ll keep everything you said in mind ! thanks so much

[stoic quarry]

Geez, doubling down

[finite tulip]

Cyber tends to attract a part of the loud minority of toxicity
The ones who are toxic are often loud but remember, they are a minority of Cyber

[stoic quarry]

At least it's not as bad as the Linux community

[wild rose]

Remember that it doesn't have to be toxic. Just be the kind person you are and you won't have to worry about it.

[stoic quarry]

#Emotional #Vulnerable #NoGoodbyes

[mellow gull]

Establishing a good mood as a baseline will impact user behavior pretty distinctively. People tend to naturally resort to what they observe as common behavior in an environment, so if a place is largely caustic they'll typically behave in a more toxic manner, and the opposite of that is also true. Fostering a kinder, more friendly environment goes a long way for establishing a good session culture.

Introduction

In the past, the population of people using the Internet had "grown
up" with the Internet, were technically minded, and understood the
nature of the transport and the protocols. Today, the community of
Internet users includes people who are new to the environment. These
"Newbies" are unfamiliar with the culture and don't need to know
about transport and protocols

[eternal timber]

I don’t think human lens refers to the eyes literally. It’s more about the experience

awesome dude, hope it went well

[split compass]

I haven't played in like 18 months.

But remember one where there's a question that just won't take an answer, that question got set to be ignored by the finish condition essentially IIRC.

And there's always the risk of rooms that rely on external resources, like VT reports that can go stale/get dropped etc.

damn I’m breaking the first law of rfc 1855 there

[rapid merlin]

I'm in the UK and it's not given the respect it's due. It's seen as a job someone takes as their initial career plan failed

you pretty much cant get turned away, its for people who want a degree but cant go to a good college, but a lot of the ppl that go gets a b.s degree just to get the college party expereince

[cinder cloak]

they're just cheaper schools and public, some are looked down on. some people use it for two years and then go to a more 'well known' school

[wary ocean]

the one where i live is known to be a party college pretty much

which is ironic cuz her parents are hyper religous but whatever

[devout palm]

I go university to socialize and make use of the local library and advantages that come when you are a student.

[atomic atlas]

in US college is from 15-18 yo something like that ? college in france is 12-15 ☠️

[cinder cloak]

no

that is high school

college is 18-22

[dark frost]

Library is my favorite place

[blazing granite]

away from home people are different 😂

[atomic atlas]

ohh ok thank you

[cinder cloak]

your university is our college

i think if french people are the same as uk

[sick lance]

University in the UK can be 16+.

[wary ocean]

her parents are overbearing as hell i doubt it

[atomic atlas]

yes thanks that’s exact

[rapid merlin]

we used to have a thing called polytechnic schools, they were geared for engineering and technical jobs. They all got shut, or became universities. It was bad bc it made engineering seem like a lesser degree

[devout palm]

College is the paid high school here.

[naive violet]

It's a real challenge to go below 18

[wary ocean]

some high schools have a program to go to the community college half the day

[naive violet]

Can't sign contracts etc

[atomic atlas]

it still exist in France !

[cinder cloak]

its 17 in the US actually

not 18 my bad

[sick lance]

Yeah, sometimes parents proof is enough.

[rapid merlin]

France and Germany are awesome for engineering

[sick lance]

..I don't see the point?

[wary ocean]

you can get out earlier i think

college that is

[sick lance]

You asked if France was like UK with ages and schooling levels.

[dark frost]

In swiss , college is 15 -19 , university , 18 - untils you end

[sick lance]

Age != Schooling level

[atomic atlas]

there is Polytech in France that’s not polytechnic but it’s the best school in Europe you’re so right France and Germany are making great engineers

[devout palm]

I need to study digital logic, yet i am here talking xd

[rapid merlin]

In the UK you go to school till 16. If you want to go to university you have to sit another 2yrs doing your A-levels

[atomic atlas]

sure my bad I just didn’t find any other way to ask that question

[cinder cloak]

we have some in america still

[boreal scarab]

For US, you're in school till 18.

[blazing granite]

if they want it they will find the place and time. I've seen it with, Jewish, Muslims, Christians, even Amish 🙂

[boreal scarab]

Then you got college after

[rapid merlin]

I wish it was like that here. A lot of kids are left behind

[wary ocean]

true, i dont talk to her anymore so idk

[blazing granite]

speaking from experience, girls from very strict families have a wild side

[wary ocean]

oh i know, i dated her for a few months 😂

i am well aware

thats why im not going to the community college

and i got a college offer which was what i consider way better than community

[rapid merlin]

I joined the army before going to university

[atomic atlas]

that’s so cool!

[rapid merlin]

It's a good route if you are from a poor background

[split compass]

But IIRC you can drop at 16 without worry about truancy operators and such.

[blazing granite]

did the army pick the bill? 😉

[boreal scarab]

Never heard of Truancy officers here

[rapid merlin]

I'm in the UK, we don't get that, but it enabled me to put some money in the bank

[atomic atlas]

do you think that hacking for the army is more recognised than hacking for a big tech company?

do you guys know how I can betray chat gpt? For example I want him to answer a question that he normally can’t answer like he can but he is not allowed to answer. Is there some hack so he gives me answers like telling him it’s about this or I am this for example

[atomic atlas]

they’re truly one of the best in the world but that’s a scary job when you think about it you can have alot of impact in a war that’s completely different from protecting a company network or something like that ☠️

[sick lance]

No, as that would break their ToS, and helping with that is against our community rules.

Let's not.

[atomic atlas]

sorry I didn’t know 😭

[sick lance]

Can we stop breaking rule 9 please.

[rapid merlin]

I was looking at joining back up, but the pay for skilled guys is poor. They do have a reservist group, that's tri-service. Even that looks archaic

[blazing granite]

you can protect the life of many people too. I live in Israel, I don't personally know people from unit 8200, but yes friend of friends, and it's amazing

[scarlet tundra]

already tried he keeps saying i am not allowed to answer that but i also tried to tell me something and i said it’s for a acting show he told me a lot of things but for that extern tingy that i need answered he doesn’t answer

[atomic atlas]

that’s what I was asking before… I have a friend that has a dad with a ton of responsibilities in cybersecurity in the army and he’s not getting paid that much

[scarlet tundra]

I don’t see a channel about rules

[loud marlin]

hmm... when using nmap scan without -p- it does not detect some ports that are detected with -p-? do i miss smth ?

[sick lance]

Nmap searched the most used ports inside 1024

if no flag is asked for.

[loud marlin]

but -p- will scan all ports? so kinda does not make sense that miss some as without

[rapid merlin]

I hear that over here, we don't have the skilled guys, smh. They expect lads to be physical in the army, which you can understand from they're point of view, but guys spending 10hrs behind the keyboard don't have time to go and be physical

[loud marlin]

if all 65535 is -p-

[sick lance]

Yeah,

When I was doing a pentest because port 502 isn't well used if I didn't specify -p- nmap ignored it.

[loud marlin]

weird...

[sick lance]

Even then, nmap scans the ports in a random order

[split compass]

And watch what the guy behind the keyboard can do in tactical.

[loud marlin]

think that slow down of scan might be better result?

[sick lance]

Could be possible.

[loud marlin]

will try

[boreal scarab]

Lockpicks

Keyways, Dimple picks, etc

[split compass]

If you're not trying to be noisy/get noticed, and want the most likely attack surfaces, you may not want to scan all 65535 ports

[loud marlin]

is local. but it is weird

[rapid merlin]

just use masscan lol

[sick lance]

You've missed the point.

Lol.

[atomic atlas]

can you gain something from being both physical and good at cybersecurity? I don’t know anything about how operations works so I’m genuinely asking

[loud marlin]

i'm not try to just scan the ports. i need them to find all that are there =/

[sick lance]

nmap $ip will target the top 1k used port. - That does not mean ports 1-1000

If the port you're looking for isn't within that range, you may need to specify.

[blazing granite]

[glass nest]

@silver sky Might be able to help there.

[split compass]

Easier to parkour your way into a network physically sometimes, than infect the neighbour, use them to brute force a cellular Wi-Fi device, hop from their into a blind network...

[loud marlin]

nmap -sC -sV -vv $IP and same with -p-

[atomic atlas]

I would love to know more about that!

[silver sky]

https://tenor.com/view/door-kick-surprise-barging-in-gif-12572281

[sick lance]

First command again, would target top 1K ports used ports.

[silver sky]

Whatcha wanna know

[sick lance]

It would just verbose the answer with defaults scripts and services.

[loud marlin]

so -p- might miss top 1000 ports so to say ?

[rapid merlin]

I've always trained, I come from a military family. I think being health is good regardless of job. Maybe the discipline helps for making sure you keep to your study plan, but as autists we do that anyway

[atomic atlas]

what can you gain from physical abilities when working in cybersecurity?

[sick lance]

No, -p- should hit all ports, just not in order.

[loud marlin]

weird

[silver sky]

Like physical skills or like fitness?

[sick lance]

What port is it you're looking for?

[atomic atlas]

I agree with you 100% my family is in the military and I train hard as well I was genuinely asking!

[split compass]

My comment is serious, physical access trumps most hard on the outside networks.

[loud marlin]

gib sec. will show pic in min or so

[atomic atlas]

more like fitness but I’d love to learn about the physical skills required as well

[sick lance]

Maybe not physcial, but listen to "Jenny" by Darknet Diaries.

She was the first, if not one of them, physical penetration testers.

[split compass]

The people hacker

[rapid merlin]

physical security is epic

[silver sky]

Idk how fitness affects cyber security. Maybe if your SOC building has a fire alarm you can get out quicker if your not 300lbs.

[glass nest]

Physical pentesting too

[sick lance]

275lbs of that is muscle, don't be modest.

[atomic atlas]

never thought of it that way that’s really logical

[atomic atlas]

I will now thank you !

[twin ridge]

I was about to suggest Darknet Diaries, I believe they have at least 3 episodes about the subject

[sick lance]

Probably, I stopped listening after a while.

It started to seem dramatised.

[split compass]

Yep. Lots of server rooms only have half-height walls to a drop ceiling.

So you may not be and to defeat the 7000lb force mag lock, but you can muscle up and roll over the top of the wall.

Just an example

[devout palm]

Any recommended topics for my reverse blog?

[silver sky]

I have people for that.

[sick lance]

The job I've applief for is fully remote.

[split compass]

I like the office, I dislike commute

[modest thicket]

i wonder if a pen tester's ever done this in a real worl scenario on an unknown environment 😎

[wild rose]

I WFH

[mellow gull]

Yes.

[split compass]

Yes, and it has been discussed on various talks and platforms.

[atomic atlas]

how many of you know how to lockpick?

[wild rose]

But it depends on the contract.

[mellow gull]

Sure, why?

[chilly veldt]

it's a hobby of mine

[glass nest]

Me too 🙂

[silver sky]

Yes

[rapid merlin]

I set off really early, and it's a nice ride. I couldn't do the train again

[blazing granite]

Guess security interest begets security interests of a different sort

[split compass]

I think my favourite social attacks are Deviant Ollam's

No buddy questions the telephony, elevator, or fire marshal guy.

[loud marlin]

@sick lance for example

[atomic atlas]

just to know how common it is to use physical skill in this tech field ! that makes me really happy to know that it takes way more room than I expected 😭

[sick lance]

https://tenor.com/view/jake-peralta-squinting-read-trying-to-read-brooklyn-nine-nine-gif-13387080

[glass nest]

Yeah but you'd do well as a long-con grifter with all your food/wine/cultural experience

[mellow gull]

Getting into a position where you'd regularly use those skills is a bit difficult, but there are plenty of teams that make effective use of them during black box testing.

[split compass]

He makes me want to get fire and safety certificates

[modest thicket]

new skill requirement for pen testers who want to really get the job: ability to lift self over 8ft wall.

[silver sky]

It really does depend on what part of the industry you're in.

If you're in my part of the industry, lock picking is one tool of many

[loud marlin]

suffer more 🙂

[rapid merlin]

Have you worked with Health and Safety? 😔

[reef crane]

na it’s not common in physical pt i always used flipper( provided by my company) or rasberry pi lol

[exotic vector]

whatcha 3d printing?

[blazing granite]

you can't know everything in this life 🙂

[atomic atlas]

can I ask what are you doing ? it sound so cool

[sick lance]

From what I'm struggling to see, -p- seems to have stopped

[silver sky]

Well I get paid to break into businesses and organisations offices from time to time.

[sick lance]

That's why it isn't picking the ports up.

[glass nest]

Eh. only need to know enough to be able to BS the rest

[loud marlin]

is in progress 🙂

[split compass]

Another one that military might see involvement in that you don't expect.

Parcel interception.
Servers are heavy, and you may have to lug a battery or some such to a shipment, implant and test a device, then close up again.

[atomic atlas]

I’d love to be able to say that at one point 😭

[boreal scarab]

Lockpick, keyway, dimple pick, think lishi too? Holder for a client

[blazing granite]

I know a bit of a lot of things, but picking locks never picked my attention (pun not intended )

[split compass]

Lol, not the same. Think third party government mandated technical safety standards association.

[glass nest]

Beerise - Lishis are too expensive 😦

[mellow gull]

Lishis are great though

Love 'em

[glass nest]

Never used one, cos they cost so much

[split compass]

I can't bring myself to use em, feels like cheating.

[boreal scarab]

I think they're like $50 EACH

At that point, I'll 3d print one in steel filament ...

[exotic vector]

oh cool !!!!
im just reading a 10 page block of text

[glass nest]

Yeah, and you need like 4 to cover most common locks

[split compass]

If I were LPL skill level already, fine, or professional, but not in sport.

[boreal scarab]

Or... screw it, NylonX Carbon Fiber

[silver sky]

The only endangerment is when I cut myself on barbed wire or fall off fences.

[mellow gull]

Physical pentesting (or access control testing in general) shouldn't really leave you in a position to be endangered if you know what you're doing

Tetanus jabs up to date, Hex 😄

[rapid merlin]

I worked at Amazon, and we had a really hot spell here in UK and HS were adamant that the readings were wrong. We had folk collapsing. We were just in charge of the equipment. We had to do 3 calibrations before they believed us

[split compass]

Should try making a few variations of picks in that.

Works for car part prototyping

[modest thicket]

you got good health insurance?

[silver sky]

Yeah it's called the NHS

[boreal scarab]

I'm watching my printer very closely, I need to go out and get a heat gun, but I can't leave my print as I'm not used to how this filament prints + multiple prints on the same bed, already had 2 failed, 1 warped, 1 removed itself from the bed

[mellow gull]

Everything belongs to the USA, so it's all USA

Thats's why I became a vegetarian, always made me gag, I dont care if the animals are worshipped and babied before being served up, chewing dead body parts is gross, veins and fat and fluids-

[eternal timber]

Scrubz try not to be mean challenge

[rapid merlin]

always brought up to respect animals, eat as much of it can. I love liver and kidney

[atomic atlas]

the program you pipe into cowsay 😭 that can still be taken as a compliment though

[mellow gull]

Make me a little cat instead of a cow and I'd be okay with that.

[eternal timber]

Aren’t you also eating dead plants and plant products

[rapid merlin]

I walk past a butchers all the time. It smells awful

[torn oasis]

Yes, but it's significantly LESS gross, if I could photosynthesize, I would-

[rapid merlin]

I love the smell of meat

[eternal timber]

They had organs in buckets and stuff

[mellow gull]

We all have our own ways of respecting nature and fulfilling our own needs for survival. There's no use in judging or denigrating eachother over it.

[true urchin]

some vegetarian products are worse for the environment than normal meat

[eternal timber]

That image will stay in my head for a while

[atomic atlas]

there’s every sort of shape you want in that program I discovered it yesterday and tou can even make a darth vader cow say what you tell it to

[rapid merlin]

They usually sell the organs here for people to eat

[eternal timber]

Like?

[modest thicket]

example: tofu

[rapid merlin]

And they sell whole sheep heads

[eternal timber]

We are so cruel

My mind just went to the same stuff happening to people

[true urchin]

Avocados, Almond Milk, Palm oil

[true urchin]

Yeah exactly

[rapid merlin]

I would like to add I cut off the fat and I’ll avoid veins and that. Kinda gross

[eternal timber]

How are those worse for the environment?

[blazing granite]

I love animals, specially lamb with a bit of thyme and rosemary 😂

[mellow gull]

The foundation farms needed for them are pretty destructive at times.

[rapid merlin]

they use a lot of palm oil in the production of vegan ready meals. Cultivation of palm oil is awful for the environment
