It's free and open source, download it, I say taking the bait
it did not do that to me
yeah idk what I did then, I sure didn't tag them all
what one do i get
i plan on making a THM room CSV
get whatever distro you like . depends on what you plan on doing
what one is the best
Reall hackers use Hannah Montana Linux. π
best to learn on a general purpose distro before you get started
how
What if I'm more of a cookies and cream kinda guy
@karmic hemlock one for you my friend
open a web browser and search
yeah im not tagging my notes now
#useful
#its a pain
now what
Sweet dude! Soon you'll have a messy firework like I have
use the google search engine
i did
ok follow whatyou find if you want linux
right click > add new folder | note | canvas
I'm good at organization but I went overboard with my first time with Obsidian, for work now instead I use Logseq
whats your tagging strategy?
since it gives me a new note every single day which makes a ton of sense for work note taking
LogSeq is okay, no complaints
in a journal kind of sense, and then I make my pages from there
its 2.8 gb
i just tend to open notes in vim and write down what i need atm
yeah best thing about logseq, it's all bulletpoints. Worst thing about logseq? It's all bulletpoints lol
i tag based on topic of room, programming language and type of THM room
also another white theme for jake
look dont go installing linux onto your computer youre going to break your machine. learn how to install it in a VM
I highly recommend getting to know it, it makes every ssh session so much nicer
there are other non-dark themes that aren't eye blinding
@deft pivot please do not send random friend requests without asking first
Mine? I keep general purpose categories like fundamentals, tools, analysis, but then I also make specific ones where you can search for a tool or method explicitly, i.e. reverse_engineering
I format those specific ones with an underscore in place of spaces so that the search doesn't return 1000 results using both those words
Use virtual or attack box
srry
here's my tmux config (the bottom part)
and yes theres typos
i have rooms, pathways, modules
my thought was separate vaults for THM and HTB
yeah by default it's a bit ugly, but you can customize it to be quite nice. I ported my config over from screen
i just have that in different folder but same vault
That's a good start! What I do in each note is include a Tags section, and if the note is about say Metasploit, I would include tags like #exploit, #metasploit, #payload
yeah this is my import from cherry tree
Mhmm, the default is just black on green and very stark, less readable
screenshots are nice but are a hassle organization later on
srry
I just never bothered with tags and went all out with the folders
tags help when you use the search function
And the way obsidian's search feature works, if you have a tag with a space in the name, I use underscores like I said earlier. Searching for "reverse engineering" will look for instances of "reverse engineering", but also for "reverse" alone and for "engineering" alone. With "reverse_engineering", you can ensure you're getting results explicitly for that tag
been thinking about getting into Obsidian again but I'm not as huge about it being closed source and frankly a Chinese product
didnt even know that
Me neither
i like it though and nothing goes to the βοΈ
i have something similar, i keep this fancy one on main os but i have one that i upload on servers and boxes
I'm usually not too picky and it's end to end encrypted, but was just a slight consideration of mine
The way I see it, the Chinese already probably have my information
the chinese are legit in the US telecom network
awesomefont or something? Nice, yeah I just keep it simple due to working on so many different machines
or fontawesome, whatever that icon font is lol
plus all those tiktok users who give away all of their data
if its not making any connections to the internet its fine with me
so you do like this veggies
Totally fair, I'm just inherently sus
nerdfonts
ah right that's another
great start to organization π
I will also say, I love that there are more THM ranks to achieve now
I finally have a reason to get back into this again :p
i like canvas for CTFs as you see the flow and progress of the whole thing
i cant wait for new colors to grind
yeah lol
someone mentioned that earlier haha
Yeah I was complaining about the lack of new ranks to someone, maybe it was Malarum and they mentioned that was a thing
i want to get to Eternal soon
Ctrl - o for quick search of all files is also nice
i noticed the levels yesterday
Obsidian has so many community plugins, i have only 6 or so
i love my color highlighting
plus my pentesting remote server has been underused as of late, poor thing
named Penty ?
nah, it's nyx as seen in my screenshot above
oh yea
are you using a plugin for tag colors?
My SO had a greek god thing going on until I got sick of it when migrating from ESXi to Proxmox on my home lab and started using descriptive hostnames as I enjoy
well can still use pet names for your own devices but idk, it gets silly when even our NAS has a greek god name
now at work, it should always be descriptive hostnames, but even at work we have one single client who works in produce and we decided to name all their servers after silly furits and vegitables
that's cute but like, it's not instantly obvious what they do until you learn them lol
you do colors here
in groups
crtl - g for graph
i did not know about that
Shh you all are making me want to get back into Obsidian, just my last time was a disaster trying to go overboard with my notes lol
already getting colorful would ya alook at that
youtube Obsidian plugins / customizations
protip, don't turn them into Wikipedia articles, they should be notes lol
thats fair
many videos to watch
I have been thinking about just keeping Logseq for work and Obsidian for personal though, that would be nice
i like having my notes Wiki pages, its for me to have to reference
my notes are bit too wiki articley
Yeah for me it just got to be a bit too much
mine are bare bones
i like having it so months from now i can come back and understand it
And I found despite loving wiki articles, I just needed the basic facts I needed to remember something, not like a tutorial or explainer
my notes have the commands i type to get the flags etc, detailed
i just paste output of commands and things like that
thanks you guys for helping me out π
maybe some explanation
ive really wanted to switch but didnt take the time to do it until now
yeah imho that's the way to do it Sloboda, but yeah everyone learns and notetakes differently
true
i like having details so when i practice i dont have ask the internet or AI
commands and maybe few interesting things i find in the browser and thats it
also if i ever teach someone i have all the stuff
but this if for ctf rooms
@boreal scarab
mhmm
for htb academy i did more detailed writing
Anyways I'm going to get to some THM and actually get back to dat grind. Main reason I logged back on today
I'll be around though
im very detailed in my writing for HTB academy
HTB is very much you teach yourself type of place so making detailed notes makes sense
i want to get CPTS and i want it done properly
my plan is to take cpts by defcon
i will try to get it when i save up some money for exam voucher and when my bank decides to send me new card to actually pay for stuff
its been a two months since they told me they will call me
Rate my VR crib π
out of 100?
what a nice conclusion...
is this good enough for yall?
very nice!
okay
π
i just wanted to say that
play with the canvas feature
i got them all tangled π
"werent you gonna study"
"wasnt i gonna what?"
oh my god there an an animate button
and i caan watch the links come together
true
Bro π
this is too big brain for me
Whats up anons
i use it for CTFs
i dont think any of us are anons
hello
Damn π€¦ββοΈ I didnβt know
what is up with that greeting?
What is up indeed
sky
who is anon ?
"how did you learn how to code"
"I liked playing with obsidian graaphs"
the Cornell method can help with that
Internet user with hidden identity
ok then
somebody has been shopping π π
Are you a gardener
ir probably need a new note taking structure
and new printer also is here π
i have plants
Which ones. Only tell me legal ones plz
yea mails were sent
announced on the jan 6
Thanks for the suggustion but literally all I should have done is hold myself back and not write entire articles. It's worked out great for work
and apperently use more structured lists since they kind of inherently make sense to me
I have wine, gin and whisky. It does count? π π
I may try out Joplin, does sound neat
ooh, sorry, the category was Green Things that Grow
FILAMENT
im guessing obsidian has shortcuts so i can do something like /h1 instead of writing out <h1>test</h1>
Just a question regarding the sale offer for subscription. Any more deals?
Yes # Title
just use #
its markdown. i have shortcut for code blocks
but # is tags no?
Obsidian is great
no more writing html
If you know Discord Formatting then you know Markdown
@boreal scarab and this also
thats a negative
# with space is heading and #this_is_tag
ill pull up a markdown formatting cheat sheet
Totally fair, it's just used practically everywhere these days
I have vinho verde (green wine) π
<span style="color:#a0f958"> green text </span>
@opaque flax
GitHub and others are all Markdown for their readmes and etc
not in IT glue
atleast not my companies IT glue
Sure but that's not really notetaking software
@sinful moon π how are you?
github README's?
Although fair some businesses use some of these products for more documentation focus
Yeah I mentioned that
IT Glue is not Github READMEs
yeah but it would be nice to do MD on some of the articles I mention
im sure you can
i know its highly customizable
but if you wrote any readmes obsidian is more or less the same
if only i had written any readmes
Obsidian is 1 giant README
lol yall im new to being organized
Yeah while there are different Markdown dialects, generally it's pretty darn similar
relatable
but yeah much faster than other markup languages and it's also meant to somewhat look like what it's supposed to represent in plain-text
theres some cool codeblock plugins
THM π
L Cyber Security 101 /
L Red Team Path/
Markdown already has that
Mark is Down haha
all common languages are supported by default i think
print("hello Malarum")
I've just not run into much that isn't supported by Discord or others
MY EYES
im looking for a plugin like this
thanks
with a dropdown choice of languages
3 backticks is all you need
you just tell it what language to parse the code block as
too lazy to type bash in the block?
lol
i have Alt + R = code chunk
which is big code block?
Every time I hear that note taking software's name, I think of the old IM client lol
I was more of a Pidgin fan myself though
i have it set for that to put a code block, in settings
Oh that's because that IM client was called Trillian... I say was but apperently much like Pidgin, it's still around
just do this
yeah lol it's literally easier than a dropdown
athough at least Discord did let me literally use the pluses in c++
discord support languages, like my python above
yes I have the same hello world example above lol
console.log("thm")
both cpp and c++ work
mhmm
just mentioning for their benefit if they're already sketched out by typing three to four characters
let chat="talk about note taking"
huh, i never ran code inside Obsidian
big stress on the supposed part π π
instead im installing plugins and getting addicted to obsidian
come to the Obsidian side
procrastination at work π
Obsidian notes
that i totally forgot about
i have emoji plug in
The other day I got an email about a workshop to fight procrastination and I said to myself I'll read it later π π
if you want to be extra fancy you have this
wait until Defender or whatever security product you use personally starts detecting the remote shells in your notes lol
Oh I was scrolled up
was in reference to this lol
the horror π
It is pretty funny
this is nice , cool
I have to slap Defender's hand any time it does that or False Positives my demoscene exe downloads
Yes Defender, this is a packed and somewhat obfuscated 4KB exe that looks weird, I get it, but that was actually the point of the demo lol
I say that but the 64KB demos are usually my faves
insane what they can pull off with exes that size
the callouts are natively supported
yea
i also like exporting notes to pdf's
i have saved the reference to learn more
proved useful sometimes
hi β€οΈ
been using Obsidian for years and have not messed with it much since setting it up
I literally produced Incident Report PDFs for my company using Obsidian in the past lol
multiple times
and was praised at the formatting and effort, so can't complain
Thankfully I've not had to do that in quite some time, also unfortuantely a couple paragraphs of text in our infosec work channel is usually sufficent for most
reading mode is also nice, if i am only writing text i write it in vim and use obsidian just as viewport for it
or man up and install a real linux π π
never exported as pdf, now im learning
I usually kept different Obsidian themes around just for exporting to PDF
that have a very specific purpose
Generally it will follow the theme formatting wise
PRINTERS
i usually use LibreOffice to export to PDF
dont be a part pooper
or do
im not your mom
i dont care what oyu do
Fair but if the thing you already need to export are your Obsidian notes, may as well use the built in option
At worst I'd have to manually paginate some paragraphs
of course not, you're not a woman or old enough π π
had a nice 8 page incident report that way
nice to know about the pdf function
mhmm
Although since we don't have any standards for this sorta work, it kinda just read like an infosec blog post lol
although fair, informed by what THM had taught me about the process at the time
Lets just say there was significantly less need once we closed down all the RDP which was my ultimate goal anyways
yes lol. And idk depends on your price range. Just get a honda civic or something
oop
had enough of hot hatches
I mean they make Civics in sedans as well
get a challenger
i mean a civic isnt even hot its just lukewarm
too heavy π¦
If you know enough to complain about hot hatches, why even ask us?
One:1
just curious to see what hackerman's like us guys drive thats all
you are not supposed to turn it into code editor
But I will admit anwyas that I'm a Honda and Subaru fangirl lol
ssssssshhhhh
subarus are cool
mhmm
wrx then?
Yeah WRX would be the dream lol
fr
anyways yet again, you make it sound like it was your first car lol
so can't blame me for boring Honda Civic recommendation π
im not blaming u dont worry
u should get a subaru though theyre so fun
its like driving a go kart on road
I can't blame you even if I want it to, because I know shit about cars π π
I would love a Subaru and no surprise it was rally that got me interested
same
used to watch rally car crash compilations when i was young
and went from there
Most of my cars have been extremely boring, but my 1999 Arcua 3.2TL was the most interesting.
It's this guy but it had the sports spoiler and side skirts
basically just a Honda Accord with 3.2 Liter V6 and dat V-TEC
wrx is such a great machine 1200 kg with 300 hp is insane
which is why it's based off an Accord instead lol
the only way I would have a car if I hire a chauffeur. I hate driving and I love to drink π
Sitting in VC if anyone wants to chat. Just chilling. Need to test my mic audio
Basically when I was about 22, my shitty hand me down mini-van died and I was kind of pissed that I didn't know why. I mean I'm a technical person, so I decided to learn about cars... and I discoverd that wow, not all modern car fans are dude bros as I was exposed to back in school
then immediately after I got the above Accura
and yeah kinda been big into cars ever since
Big fan of JDM or just Japanese cars in general, but I've expanded and learn to love much of the history and engineering
My dad was a big fan of Gran Turismo and Colin McRae Rally when I was a kid and I also got into those games in a big way as a result of this late blooming lol
and yeah that passion for Rally also kinda unlocked something for me
colin mcrae was a gangsta
For sure, also absolutely insane with his "if in doubt, flat out" mentality but can't complain, he was a legend
damn i cant post images, wanted to show u the subaru
link your account and youll be able to
I know most love the 80s Group B era for the insanity it fueled, but I'm more nostaligc and interested in 90s Group A era
Ah I got into it in a big way as a result of really enjoying Sega Rally Championship and Colin McRae Rally 2.0
no sound/audio can fix you'r thing you call voice ...
then I tried the modern DiRT Rally games and much more since then
Would be nice, but until my extremely boring 2010 Ford Focus dies, I probably won't be considering another car
I love driving but when I work from home, I barely do so anymore
i c i c
so I get my kicks in video games mostly lol
are u from america ?
Yeah
lucky
Not entirely sure about that, but the grass is always greener... lol
Is the site kind of chugging for anyone else?
lol I've gone offroading more or less in my mini-van π
and have flu
driving a mini-van in Michigan winters kinda teachses you to drive anything
here theres not really any place so u just have to like sneak onto some abandoned farmland
Ah even here, there's some neat dirt trails that no one cares about
Yeah I've been getting more and more into BWM
must be nice living close to japan lol ez imports
I mean don't even need to mostly with all the Japanese US domestic cars
that Acura brand is literally just Honda's upmarket brand just for the US
like lexus and toyota i think
one of my dream cars, the Honda NSX was the Acura NSX in the US
Yep exactly, and Nissan and Infinity
and yeah obvs I mean the original NSX line, instead of the dramatic refresh
flamboyant car
back in the 90s that was the sports car template that all toy sports cars were modeled after
so got nostaliga for me in multiple ways, but also it's just a cool ass car
or also as the Regular Car Reviews video said at the time, "it's the car you got to see the taillights of in Gran Turismo 2 as it sped past you" lol
been a while since I watched his videos but was one that helped get me into cars at the time
lol here cars are reputable for the crime theyre used in
in 90's subaru was known as bank robbers car
theres a vid on yt of a police chase of a impreza and evo
meanwhile there's the opposite like the Honda CR-X which was formerly the most stolen car of the late 80s and 90s
LOL
It's nice to see it's in GTA IV and V as the Ballista Compact, and in IV, arugably one of the best cars in the game
Yeah I can imagine lol
30k in some areas cause of it
Acura is nice, that was my first ever car
Awesome, heck yeah
@blazing granite https://open.spotify.com/track/3rPZst4xpq14IFl4hkpiD2
I had an 1999 Acura 3.2TL as I mentioned above c:
do u have a dream car ?
like if u had a token for any car of the world
that u couldnt resell
I'd probably buy a Tesla
Yeah I kinda already mentioned it, the Honda NSX, probably one of the ealiest of the original generation with the cat-eye headlights before those were illegal
othewise it would probably just be a Subaru WRX
Or more realistically, I'd re-buy an Acura
That was a smooth car
did you have dat V-TEC in yours?
Ah okay fair enough, when you said your first car I didn't think that's what you meant lolol
Oh yeah lol, I meant that its the first one I ever rode in
Pontiac Firebird was the first car I was in I guess, my parents at the time lol
I have pics of it and stuff, its paint is just awesome
Sort of a metallic lustre
I think we had that and a 1988 Oldsmobile
the Oldsmobile? Nah it was a pretty boring and compact car compared to the Firebird. I don't remember what specific model
the internet hosts file
It's always DNS 
lol not when it didn't exist... for once
my laptops DNS took a crap for only my companies resources in the middle of trouble shooting today 
but yes typically it is
just sounds like issues with resolving your internal DNS or whatever you are using, but the foward lookups were fine
or your secondary DNS
if you do just have a Domain Controller with no hybrid or beyond, then that guy is your DNS server
heres the fun part
uh oh
company resources are not internal
its all on the internet
i can go to it right now
from my home computer
i dont connect to a vpn
well that's actually concerning
i just get on the internet
i can nslookup our various connectwise services and get public ips
oh no, I bet they had a fun time just before you started working there
i also located a firewall configuration page open to the world
oh no
i looked in the logs and there was so much brute forcing on it
Did you hear about the ConnectWise vulnerabilites in 2023?
anyone could reset the servers to first time setup, just by appending any character or words to that first time setup URL, and become admin
how did you get this green thing
I mean those are probably links and it's just the theme
but Obsidian and the plugins have come a long way since I stopped using it
Anyone here using ipad to learn THM?
I would not recommend it, despite loving my iPad
what is obsidian? I hear about it alot, is it a code editor like vscode?
It's a Markdown based note-taking app/knowledge base
Note taking software
ive turned mine into a code editor
(which is also inadvisable lol)
Just becaue you can doesn't mean you should lol
why do so many people use it though, whats the difference between just using a notepad?
Sad. I thought I could use it to learn while on the way to work.
and mark down
because you can basically make it into a Wiki and it's got full formatting and etc
there are also vim motions so you can make shitty version of vim
rn I use vscode, would it be better to switch over>
vim ftw
sssssssssshhhhhhhhh
oh thats pretty cool
There's some silly stuff you could do like use an ssh app to a remote pentesting server like I have and have that OpenVPNed into THM... but even then, you wouldn't be able to ssh tunnel the HTTP(S) content or RDP content to your iPad locally like you could on Windows/MacOS/Linux
try going to settings > editor > readable line length
you get a cool graph with it
maybe you will like it better
thats turned on
ah turned off is better
its yeeted to the right
yep
ssh tunneling is magic though and I am all about it
thats dope
i find text more readable when its off
its more pleasing to my eyes
Thanks!
Gave +1 Rep to @sinful moon (current: #34 - 268)
from THM via OpenVPN to my pentesting server, then ssh tunneled HTTP(S) to Burp Suite locally which is acting as a SOCKS proxy for Foxy Proxy to connect to... all so I can see THM HTTP rooms to attack without it touching my network directly π
sounds insane but it's awesome
and the added benefit of Burp Suite recording it all which is useful either way
We chilling listening to music in VC if anyone wants to chill
I do the same for RDP, although that's much simpler. I just tell my RDP app to connect to port 13389 which I bound my ssh tunnel to for this
this sounds sooo cool i need to try and make this
still magic when I'm RDPing via SSH via my remote server via OpenVPN to THM lol
wdym by attacking rooms with using your network?
Yeah it is rad
^VC
Elizabeth is our Linux/network wizard π
I meant I'm attacking the rooms, but yes I am isolating THM from touching my network in this way
I have minieggs
big respect honestly, i love listening people talk about stuff they are great at
Technically in KOTH and some other THM multi-user things, if a user were to break the rules, they could theoretically pivot off the target machine you're both connected to to attack your own attacking machine. But one, that's against the rules, and two, unlikely
@finite basalt π how are you?
still kicking π
And you'd really have to f things up like using an old version of Kali that had those default credentials
setting up openHAB atm to control my tasmota devices
if you're still kicking that's good enough π π
even a new version of kali, if you're using the virtual machine images
Oh good point, but lol even for VMs I always do the isntalling myself
but you have to leave some port open for all this, no?
I never trust pre-builts and they take way half the fun of doing the install
that's fair
kali automatically opens up some ports for its services
IDK why but I always go for the iso, I guess old habits die hard π
No one wants a chill sesh? 
i had no idea bout that
ssh being a notable one lol
I do too normally, have only done it once cause I was in a rush
it's not meant to be a daily driver
is it open by default
Normally it's no big deal, but when you're OpenVPN-ed into the network yeah all that is exposed
yes that's what I mean lol
so if you were dumb enough to leave default Kali creds, it could be trivial for someone to pivot out of a multi-user room to you
but must be stressed again, very much against the rules
good way to get a perma ban from the site
Dude they like AI edited the faces of these dudes on that gif and it looks so messed up wth lmao
We still chilling to music in here
first thing i always do when after installing new OS is disabling password login for ssh
Yeah the faces look weird, lol
To be fair as discussed above, just don't use prebuilt VMs and that's never an issue
Uhh.. guys.. I'm facing a problem... I wrote a script and uploaded on GitHub then integrated with jenkins. Now if i run script locally, everything working good but if i run it from jenkins. It throws java.io.eofexception.
What should I do
i actually wanted to get into devops before starting this whole cyber thing, i like managing linux systems and stuff like that
I managed to hit 10k, just went grinding on the nmap room
I've sorta done that, but only on an extremely small scale. Just fufilling things like my boss saying "please give me a webserver that can host three sites for our really cheap clients"
Low hanging fruit
Just did a docker-compsoe setup for that and is still working beautifully
and yeah my OpenVAS server is also using docker compose via their official community containers
i absolutelly love docker
Yes it is just lovely
i remember spending once 5 hours trying to configure nginx to use certs
that web host was my first custom docker-compose.yml and it was aboslutely trivial to get going and administrate
yaml is also lovely to use
mhmm, that and JSON are pretty darn friendly. Well YAML more so obvs but fair JSON is so well supported for parsing
PowerShell even has native CSV and JSON parsing built in which you can use to export/import objects to and from
I need some malicious and benign PE files for my ML project from where can I get these files?
I don't know that we can provide you with anything malicious
@mossy river sorry to bother you
I mean is there any online website where there are such files that I can use for my ML project as I have to examine malicious PE files and have to prepare my own dataset?
I don't know of any
@karmic hemlock better not to interact with illegal stuff, just my opinion π
I'm tired it's almost midnight here so good night π€
OML
Bro, Admin @sick lance said don't put gif here
Is there a way to see how many points u"ll get by completing a room without having to complete said room

I think no π
if your room has a scoreboard maybe
Thanks
Gave +1 Rep to @gleaming grove (current: #892 - 5)
finally finished sql fundamentals 160 points
Hi
Grinding nmap for like 300 points of low hanging fruit

i need 10k points for next level 
Congrats π π₯
We sharing our taskbars now? lol this is what I have before me
but also, if this was Win 11 I'd be showing window titles you barbarians
i see im going to need to spend a day reading all the capabilities of obsidian
this is going to set me back a bit in my hogwarts progress
this is just my Mac Mini at my work from home desk. Felt like doing some THM which I often do here but got too distracted with Discord
you dont need em all, just download it and start writing, you'll learn stuff along the way
oh hek ye
Raise your taskbars

@hearty trout this one#general message
I mean, I have already done this. But now I see there are lots of fancy things to waste my time one too
Been using it for a while but I guess my note taking is plain
i can respect wasting time on making thing fancy
Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer, frick Adobe
I can agree with this sentiment recently tbh. Iβll look into affinity
The concentric Squares icon is UTM which is a lovely qemu frontend for macOS and iOS
We just gussed your task bar icons in VC lol
SOmeone post a hard to guess taskbar
We knew about 95%
As a former Photoshop and Illustrator user for decades, I can for sure recommend them
We didn't know affinity
Praise the one time payment
Yee, much more preferable
why not VMware fusion
I have that π
Because they burned me multiple times, plus this is a M4 Mac which kinda limits your options there
I literally migrated my VMware ESXi/vSphere homelab server over to Proxmox at the turn of the year
because they changed how VMUG Advantage works, so now you have to get one of two certificates, on top of the $200 you pay a year, for a license to all their software
Need to fine an adobe premier for this kind of price model and robustness
Woo proxmox
Iβve heard of this, I had avoided it from using a lot of black magic products in their early years. Hopefully theyβve dialed in
Yeah I had prior experience with Proxmox and especially qemu/kvm, but when I setup my homelab, that was just before the Broadcom shitstorm of an accuqisition
I've heard nothing but good things, but fair, I'm more into 2D image editing and graphic deisgn and have little video editing and production background
4th GIMP ?
imgine if there were open source alternatives to adobe suite, but with quality of blender which is imo one of the best open source projects
Trying to navigate the Broadcom repository is enough to abandon them. Itβs absolutely like a f*king maze in goblet of fire
If I showed my task bar it would be for the most part empty on my win11 box and nix box and on my MacBook would be mainly professionally stuff
Do Kirta instead of GIMP if you need free c:
6th KeePassXC
I use keyboard shortcuts and typing for what I need to open it fast as opposed to clicking on shortcuts or icons in a bar
Yep
VMwareβs was bad too
I-is that Fortnite on the left! π€―
They basically just adopted VMwareβs over
HELL NO
Yea, blender is pretty awesome. I donβt nearly use enough of its features as I mostly do part design in freecad, but I can polish up the models for show, better in blender
Fuck that game
Taskbar pics 
Iβm thinking Miku miku oooweeeoo
Fr (what game)
Okay, here's mine
Nah I was an adovcate for VMware before Broadcomm crapped the bed
Fucking Fortnite
Oh fr fuck that game
you barbarian, hide your search bar
and the freaking copilot
For real
Copilot used to be on the far right side
Oh god you even have the news widget
My Taskbar is only chrome
lol yeah I hide all that stuff, but I'm also old school and use full window titles
Yes, that's where I get 90% of my news from π
Nothing else
i dont have a taskbar 
I also have nothing pinned on Windows, I just use it as a... task bar for you know my active programs lol
My task bar is only adobe cloud because I like to be motivated by anger
VirtualBox π€’
I pin everything of any consequence whatsoever. Hence terminal/powershell/dev home being pinned lol
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
as well as a shortcut to youtube π€£
What's wrong with virtualbox
there's something called Win+R or with PowerToys Win+Space c:
too lazy
Making sure you get your work done
I can just click on the taskbar
I just don't like clutter I guess
I need someone to do this for me
I have no pinned apps and nothing on any of my desktops
riot games client is bigger concer than virtualbox
When you have tactical shooter aim like mine you pin everything π«¦
but I always use full window titles in my task bars so that's probably part of it
Look guys, virtualbox
true
my desktop is empty just as my head
Give us all your task bars. We're guessing all the icons in voicechat!
Oracle is even worse than Broadcom
also I've had nothing but bad luck with Virtualbox from experience
I could never even figure out how to download VMWare
much worse than qemu/kvm or VMware
The VB slander is crazy
well now it's like a freaking maze on the awful Broadcom site lol
How do I navigate said maze
if you use Linux just use qemu/kvm via virt-manager
step one: download linux
step two: install kvm
I am a windows main I fear
Iβm telling you, thereβs a fercking sphinx riddle maze on that atrocious Broadcom site
new meta
if you need to decipher the Broadcom maze for Vmware Workstation Pro, god help you but yes you just need an account
but even that is better than using Oracle software
This is why I use VB
Nothing is wrong with VB
Guess what this is 
Use Thunderbird and the Proton Mail Bridge
I have the url saved
zenmap
Correct
I found it once, never again
Idk why I have it pinned, but I do
Iβd show my taskbar but Iβm pretty sure itβs default nothing pinned
I should sell the url

An eye
nmap gui
Nmap gui W
its mostly useless though
$50 and first born for access to Broadcomβs vm locations
what's this
I'm of the belief that everything is better with a GUI
PlayStation emulator
yup
π
Its scans don't run half the time with GUI though
But, imagine doing pcap analysis with tcpdump 
When are they finally gonna make powershell less of a pain in the ass to use
My Proton Mail be all nice and tidy in Thunderbird with pretty folders
Tonight I figured out the chat's biggest fear
no that's the CodeWeavers
A light themed virtual box icon
is what I meant to say. Close enough
my thunderbird π
the second one was right
whew those undreads
i recently deleted 1k mails from github
although to be fair I didn't show my Gmail that was below it which is a nighmare I'm still slowly moving away from
my gmail is being forwarded to my proton
ModOrganizer 2
..
FruityLoops
true
idfk what Berry's other one is lol
but lol this game would be trivial if you were sane like me and... showed Window Titles
why does everyone want their Win 11 taskbar to look like macOS... I say typing on a Mac
at least everyone I saw so far had the sense to align their taskbars to the left again
Tor Browser
lol I'm pretty good at 75% of these but you all have some other really weird ones
FL Studio
already said that, but yee
i only recognize kdenlive and rpi imager
and obvz you got soem FlipperZero above and Raspberry Pi... Imager?
Oh I used Kdenlive in the past but they must have changed their icon
oh right
theres prob like 1 person here (aside from me) who know this
photos
close
it's an oss alternative to a very popular steam app (not game)
Doesn't help it's absolutely tiny lol. Not that it needs to be
I've used many alternate game launchers and that's not ringing any bells
but fair most of mine were on Linux
by "steam app" i mean an app (not a game) that is sold on steam
we're on the last 2 if you want to chime in
lively wallpaper
yall probably saw this one somewhere
DirectX Info
extremely loud correct buzzer
or whatever
nah
bah close enough shh
im planning on getting a sub
oh right dxdiag is what I was thinking of but it doesn't look like that at all
it's cheap af
lol I'd love to give some odd ones but I'm on this mac which doesn't have much crazy out of the ordinary
kinda sad that almost none are sharing Linux icons tho
I'd kill at those
i dont have alot of tray icons on linux
i had more but i wiped linux mint for arch
and havent bothered to reinstall my shit
I'm an Arch user since 2008, nice choice
im using kali more then arch
hopefully in a VM or similar
even tho im not studying cybersec rn (hopefully will return on 1st)
meanwhile my remote pentesting sever literally just runs Arch as well lol
ra-ra-ra-repost:
that is longer then i've been alive (im 15 if yall wanna know)
been passionate for tech since age 7
Totally fair, but yeah sounds like you're getting into Linux around when I did
only picked up cybersec a few months ago tho
after years of just consuming cybersec content
mhmm, I was given a bunch of hand me down computers in the late 90s and early 00s and learned how to fix them up and make them work for my needs despite old specs
CPU-Z um some other wierd CPU-Z and OBS
who the heck knows on AL
you have way too much weird software isntalled my dude
I doubt it
I've done the OpenAL installer plenty and never seen anything like that
my taskbar on windows is just explorer, terminal, librewolf, ayugram, vesktop, signal and whatsapp
i have alot going on in tray icons tho
2 portswigger services
Hey..... I like my FOSS, leave me alone lol
what's the other Portswigger app?
the first one is not portswingger
It's Audio. For the soundblaster DAC
why would you go Soundblaster for a DAC?
yeah i was partly right
I love my retro soundblasters but yeah there's better options these days
wait is that burpsuite enterprise or am i tripping?
I just needed it for the bass. My Beyerdynamic is lacking in that department
are you buying burpsuite?
I know Beyerdynamics are harder to drive, but any decent DAC will do and there's quite a few that are more well regarded than Soundblasters
Dudes it's community
possibly soon
what for?
in feb i'll start grinding thm and wsa
Repeater rate is not worth it or whatever
you don't need to pay for burp for these things
saving project files
there's alternatives and community gives you everything you need
Hey, it got a mode to make enemies louder, like tanks, footsteps, and I quite like it
that should not be paid but it is
For what I need it works, and not $200 or $300 more... ontop of my $300 headset lol
Beyerdynamics MMX 330 Pro
I honestly can't say I've ever needed to save a session for THM
i have never wished i could save a burp session either
honestly 75% of the time Burp Suite is just my SOCKS proxy to route traffic from my ssh tunnel
a lot of professionals are using free Burp
lots of bug bounty hunters are using free burp
hm
most bug bounty hunters recommend NOT buying burp
if you want to save it, screenshots and notes
i wouldnt buy it if i could save my project
it's only the rate you can do Intruder that's the downside and there's other apps for that
Caido
$450 for burp pro
burp enterprise you dont even get a price
you could geta cert for the price of burp pro
I need a cert
Yeah not worth it, and even if you wanted to pay that kind of money, there's better infosec tools you could be buying for the price
i have never felt the need to pay for any infosec tools
alright then
I never have, but fair my use has influenced my business to pay for security and infosec stuff
^this
which id say is different than red team (and ctfs)
and in a professional environment
Remember how we use that EDR product I was talking about Malarum, that was due to my influence c:
thats when paying for tools comes into play
good thing you didnt reccomend the July disaster one
haha indeed, but Crowdstrike is too expensive for us anyways
print("Ello world! New to here!!! \n" * 100)
Welcome, also Discord supports code blocks where you can properly format that with syntax highliting
print("Ello world! New to here!!! \n" * 100)
is this a robot? or u r human lol?
lol I am human... or am I? π€
XD
that name, pfp and bio tells me this is most likely some kid/teenager trying to be blackhat and pretending to be whitehat
human bot hybrid
idk
awww
either that or he made an account just for cybersec
which isnt really needed imo
Everyone deserves a chance, no matter age or experience. The cringe wears off with time lol
lol
you just become immune to it over time
Either way, feel free to ask if you have any questions!
hi!
Some merica type stuff going on in the voicechat
Gotta be Berry again lol
Reletable π€£
last time I was in VC it was "M1 Abrahams Tank"
GOOOOOD MORNING VIETNAAAAAM πΊπΈ π¦
If you wanna get into military porn, at least do it right and look at SR-71 Blackbird or F-117 Nighthawk since idk, specality aviation and jets are way cooler than tanks 
we shot down one of those hehe
especially wild steath ones
lol the F-117? Yeah they have a great record, but not infallable
I have to agree AF is the coolest
yea people rushed to pick the parts from it
mhmm, and lol Ace Combat is a good series to get anyone hooked on the concept π
lol sounds about right
they were using it to fix pig pens and such
That's awesome
i love our history
Yugoslavia?
