select a linux you like

sinful moon
#

It's free and open source, download it, I say taking the bait

opaque flax
#

it did not do that to me

sinful moon
#

yeah idk what I did then, I sure didn't tag them all

deft pivot
grizzled wing
#

i plan on making a THM room CSV

grizzled wing
deft pivot
#

what one is the best

split compass
#

Reall hackers use Hannah Montana Linux. 😝

sinful moon
#

best to learn on a general purpose distro before you get started

grizzled wing
#

haha

#

since you are new to linux start with Linux Mint

deft pivot
#

how

sinful moon
#

gross, but no I'm falling for it

#

so I'll shh

karmic hemlock
#

What if I'm more of a cookies and cream kinda guy

rugged kayak
#

@karmic hemlock one for you my friend

grizzled wing
#

open a web browser and search

opaque flax
#

yeah im not tagging my notes now

grizzled wing
#

#useful

opaque flax
#

#its a pain

deft pivot
#

now what

karmic hemlock
opaque flax
deft pivot
#

i did

opaque flax
#

ok follow whatyou find if you want linux

grizzled wing
karmic hemlock
rugged kayak
#

i honestly have no clue on how to organize

#

i just write things down

grizzled wing
#

right click > add new folder | note | canvas

sinful moon
#

I'm good at organization but I went overboard with my first time with Obsidian, for work now instead I use Logseq

opaque flax
#

whats your tagging strategy?

sinful moon
#

since it gives me a new note every single day which makes a ton of sense for work note taking

grizzled wing
#

LogSeq is okay, no complaints

sinful moon
#

in a journal kind of sense, and then I make my pages from there

deft pivot
#

its 2.8 gb

rugged kayak
#

i just tend to open notes in vim and write down what i need atm

sinful moon
#

yeah best thing about logseq, it's all bulletpoints. Worst thing about logseq? It's all bulletpoints lol

grizzled wing
rugged kayak
#

also another white theme for jake

opaque flax
# deft pivot its 2.8 gb

look dont go installing linux onto your computer youre going to break your machine. learn how to install it in a VM

sinful moon
#

I highly recommend getting to know it, it makes every ssh session so much nicer

grizzled wing
#

there are other non-dark themes that aren't eye blinding

opaque flax
#

@deft pivot please do not send random friend requests without asking first

karmic hemlock
# opaque flax whats your tagging strategy?

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

opaque flax
#

i guess im not really sure how to tag this

#

its broken down by module

sinful moon
#

here's my tmux config (the bottom part)

opaque flax
#

and yes theres typos

grizzled wing
#

i have rooms, pathways, modules

opaque flax
sinful moon
#

yeah by default it's a bit ugly, but you can customize it to be quite nice. I ported my config over from screen

grizzled wing
karmic hemlock
# opaque flax its broken down by module

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

opaque flax
sinful moon
#

Mhmm, the default is just black on green and very stark, less readable

grizzled wing
#

screenshots are nice but are a hassle organization later on

sinful moon
#

I just never bothered with tags and went all out with the folders

grizzled wing
#

tags help when you use the search function

karmic hemlock
#

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

sinful moon
#

been thinking about getting into Obsidian again but I'm not as huge about it being closed source and frankly a Chinese product

grizzled wing
#

didnt even know that

karmic hemlock
#

Me neither

grizzled wing
#

i like it though and nothing goes to the ☁️

rugged kayak
sinful moon
#

I'm usually not too picky and it's end to end encrypted, but was just a slight consideration of mine

karmic hemlock
#

The way I see it, the Chinese already probably have my information

grizzled wing
#

the chinese are legit in the US telecom network

sinful moon
#

or fontawesome, whatever that icon font is lol

grizzled wing
#

plus all those tiktok users who give away all of their data

rugged kayak
opaque flax
#

so you do like this veggies

sinful moon
#

Totally fair, I'm just inherently sus

sinful moon
#

ah right that's another

grizzled wing
sinful moon
#

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

grizzled wing
#

i like canvas for CTFs as you see the flow and progress of the whole thing

rugged kayak
#

i cant wait for new colors to grind

sinful moon
#

yeah lol

opaque flax
#

yeah i can see how thats nice

grizzled wing
sinful moon
#

Yeah I was complaining about the lack of new ranks to someone, maybe it was Malarum and they mentioned that was a thing

grizzled wing
#

i want to get to Eternal soon

rugged kayak
grizzled wing
#

i noticed the levels yesterday

#

Obsidian has so many community plugins, i have only 6 or so

#

i love my color highlighting

sinful moon
#

plus my pentesting remote server has been underused as of late, poor thing

grizzled wing
#

named Penty ?

sinful moon
#

nah, it's nyx as seen in my screenshot above

grizzled wing
#

oh yea

opaque flax
sinful moon
#

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

rugged kayak
#

you do colors here

#

in groups

#

crtl - g for graph

opaque flax
#

I found a plugin for colors

rugged kayak
opaque flax
sinful moon
#

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

opaque flax
#

already getting colorful would ya alook at that

grizzled wing
#

youtube Obsidian plugins / customizations

sinful moon
#

protip, don't turn them into Wikipedia articles, they should be notes lol

opaque flax
grizzled wing
#

many videos to watch

sinful moon
#

I have been thinking about just keeping Logseq for work and Obsidian for personal though, that would be nice

grizzled wing
#

i like having my notes Wiki pages, its for me to have to reference

opaque flax
#

my notes are bit too wiki articley

sinful moon
#

Yeah for me it just got to be a bit too much

opaque flax
rugged kayak
#

mine are bare bones

grizzled wing
#

i like having it so months from now i can come back and understand it

sinful moon
#

And I found despite loving wiki articles, I just needed the basic facts I needed to remember something, not like a tutorial or explainer

grizzled wing
#

my notes have the commands i type to get the flags etc, detailed

rugged kayak
#

i just paste output of commands and things like that

opaque flax
#

thanks you guys for helping me out πŸ™‚

rugged kayak
#

maybe some explanation

opaque flax
#

ive really wanted to switch but didnt take the time to do it until now

sinful moon
#

yeah imho that's the way to do it Sloboda, but yeah everyone learns and notetakes differently

rugged kayak
#

true

grizzled wing
#

i like having details so when i practice i dont have ask the internet or AI

rugged kayak
#

commands and maybe few interesting things i find in the browser and thats it

grizzled wing
#

also if i ever teach someone i have all the stuff

rugged kayak
#

but this if for ctf rooms

loud marlin
#

@boreal scarab

sinful moon
#

mhmm

rugged kayak
#

for htb academy i did more detailed writing

sinful moon
#

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

opaque flax
#

im very detailed in my writing for HTB academy

grizzled wing
#

HTB is very much you teach yourself type of place so making detailed notes makes sense

rugged kayak
opaque flax
rugged kayak
#

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

oblique loom
grizzled wing
#

out of 100?

loud marlin
#

what a nice conclusion...

opaque flax
#

is this good enough for yall?

grizzled wing
opaque flax
#

okay

grizzled wing
#

πŸŽ‰

opaque flax
#

playing with the forces

#

is fun

rugged kayak
grizzled wing
#

play with the canvas feature

opaque flax
#

i got them all tangled πŸ˜„

"werent you gonna study"

#

"wasnt i gonna what?"

#

oh my god there an an animate button

this is too big brain for me

grizzled wing

#

i dont think any of us are anons

rugged kayak
modest thicket
grizzled wing
#

what is up with that greeting?

modest thicket
rugged kayak
grizzled wing
opaque flax
#

"how did you learn how to code"

"I liked playing with obsidian graaphs"

blazing granite
modest thicket
grizzled wing
#

ok then

blazing granite
modest thicket
opaque flax
#

ir probably need a new note taking structure

loud marlin
grizzled wing
opaque flax
modest thicket
rugged kayak
#

yea mails were sent

grizzled wing
#

announced on the jan 6

sinful moon
#

and apperently use more structured lists since they kind of inherently make sense to me

blazing granite
sinful moon
#

I may try out Joplin, does sound neat

grizzled wing
boreal scarab
opaque flax
#

im guessing obsidian has shortcuts so i can do something like /h1 instead of writing out <h1>test</h1>

toxic nymph
#

Just a question regarding the sale offer for subscription. Any more deals?

rugged kayak
#

just use #

grizzled wing
opaque flax
#

but # is tags no?

grizzled wing
#

Obsidian is great

sinful moon
#

If you know Discord Formatting then you know Markdown

loud marlin
#

@boreal scarab and this also

opaque flax
rugged kayak
#

# with space is heading and #this_is_tag

opaque flax
#

ill pull up a markdown formatting cheat sheet

sinful moon
#

Totally fair, it's just used practically everywhere these days

blazing granite
grizzled wing
#

<span style="color:#a0f958"> green text </span>
@opaque flax

sinful moon
#

GitHub and others are all Markdown for their readmes and etc

opaque flax
#

atleast not my companies IT glue

sinful moon
#

Sure but that's not really notetaking software

blazing granite
#

@sinful moon πŸ‘‹ how are you?

sinful moon
#

more documentation focused for business

#

Pretty well!

rugged kayak
sinful moon
#

Although fair some businesses use some of these products for more documentation focus

#

Yeah I mentioned that

opaque flax
opaque flax
#

im sure you can

#

i know its highly customizable

rugged kayak
#

but if you wrote any readmes obsidian is more or less the same

opaque flax
#

if only i had written any readmes

grizzled wing
#

Obsidian is 1 giant README

opaque flax
#

lol yall im new to being organized

sinful moon
#

Yeah while there are different Markdown dialects, generally it's pretty darn similar

rugged kayak
sinful moon
#

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

opaque flax
#

theres some cool codeblock plugins

grizzled wing
#

THM πŸ“
L Cyber Security 101 /
L Red Team Path/

sinful moon
opaque flax
#

i know it does

#

im saying theres cool plugins that expand it

grizzled wing
#

Mark is Down haha

sinful moon
#
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    std::cout << "Hello, world!\n";
}
#

fair enough

rugged kayak
grizzled wing
#
print("hello Malarum")
sinful moon
#

I've just not run into much that isn't supported by Discord or others

grizzled wing
#

MY EYES

opaque flax
#

im looking for a plugin like this

grizzled wing
#

thanks

opaque flax
#

with a dropdown choice of languages

sinful moon
#

you don't really need that

#

you just type what you want?

opaque flax
#

yesh but think of this elizabeth

#

im LAZY

grizzled wing
#

3 backticks is all you need

sinful moon
#

you just tell it what language to parse the code block as

#

too lazy to type bash in the block?

#

lol

grizzled wing
#

i have Alt + R = code chunk

opaque flax
#

ill take a look at it

#

πŸ˜„

opaque flax
sinful moon
#

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

grizzled wing
sinful moon
#

Oh that's because that IM client was called Trillian... I say was but apperently much like Pidgin, it's still around

rugged kayak
#

just do this

sinful moon
#

yeah lol it's literally easier than a dropdown

#

athough at least Discord did let me literally use the pluses in c++

grizzled wing
#

discord support languages, like my python above

sinful moon
#

yes I have the same hello world example above lol

grizzled wing
#
console.log("thm")
rugged kayak
sinful moon
#

mhmm

#

just mentioning for their benefit if they're already sketched out by typing three to four characters

grizzled wing
#
let chat="talk about note taking"
opaque flax
#

i can run code now πŸ™‚

#

im supposed to be studying too

grizzled wing
#

huh, i never ran code inside Obsidian

blazing granite
opaque flax
#

instead im installing plugins and getting addicted to obsidian

grizzled wing
#

come to the Obsidian side

blazing granite
opaque flax
#

oh no this is a user on my computer

grizzled wing
#

Obsidian notes

opaque flax
#

that i totally forgot about

grizzled wing
#

i have emoji plug in

blazing granite
#

The other day I got an email about a workshop to fight procrastination and I said to myself I'll read it later πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜›

rugged kayak
#

if you want to be extra fancy you have this

sinful moon
#

wait until Defender or whatever security product you use personally starts detecting the remote shells in your notes lol

#

Oh I was scrolled up

sinful moon
sinful moon
#

It is pretty funny

grizzled wing
sinful moon
#

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

grizzled wing
#

the callouts are natively supported

rugged kayak
#

i also like exporting notes to pdf's

grizzled wing
rugged kayak
#

proved useful sometimes

cinder cloak
#

hi ❀️

grizzled wing
#

been using Obsidian for years and have not messed with it much since setting it up

sinful moon
#

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

opaque flax
#

guess i need to install WSL

sinful moon
#

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

rugged kayak
blazing granite
grizzled wing
#

never exported as pdf, now im learning

opaque flax
#

like THIS?

sinful moon
blazing granite
sinful moon
#

Generally it will follow the theme formatting wise

boreal scarab
#

PRINTERS

grizzled wing
opaque flax
#

or do

#

im not your mom

#

i dont care what oyu do

sinful moon
#

At worst I'd have to manually paginate some paragraphs

blazing granite
sinful moon
#

had a nice 8 page incident report that way

grizzled wing
sinful moon
#

mhmm

sinful moon
#

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

grave sphinx
#

any of you guys drive?

#

in the mood to look at maybe buy car

opaque flax
#

this pretty cool

sinful moon
hidden nest
#

oop

grave sphinx
#

had enough of hot hatches

sinful moon
#

I mean they make Civics in sedans as well

hidden nest
grave sphinx
#

i mean a civic isnt even hot its just lukewarm

grave sphinx
sinful moon
#

If you know enough to complain about hot hatches, why even ask us?

hidden nest
grave sphinx
#

just curious to see what hackerman's like us guys drive thats all

rugged kayak
sinful moon
#

But I will admit anwyas that I'm a Honda and Subaru fangirl lol

opaque flax
grave sphinx
#

subarus are cool

sinful moon
#

mhmm

grave sphinx
#

i owned a gc8

#

such a nightmare but was worth it

hidden nest
sinful moon
#

Yeah WRX would be the dream lol

hidden nest
#

fr

sinful moon
#

anyways yet again, you make it sound like it was your first car lol

#

so can't blame me for boring Honda Civic recommendation πŸ™ƒ

grave sphinx
#

im not blaming u dont worry

#

u should get a subaru though theyre so fun

#

its like driving a go kart on road

blazing granite
sinful moon
#

I would love a Subaru and no surprise it was rally that got me interested

grave sphinx
#

same

#

used to watch rally car crash compilations when i was young

#

and went from there

sinful moon
#

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

grave sphinx
#

3.2 in a civic sounds like hell

#

never seen one of them befroe lol

rugged kayak
sinful moon
#

which is why it's based off an Accord instead lol

blazing granite
#

the only way I would have a car if I hire a chauffeur. I hate driving and I love to drink πŸ˜‚

boreal scarab
#

Sitting in VC if anyone wants to chat. Just chilling. Need to test my mic audio

sinful moon
#

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

grave sphinx
#

colin mcrae was a gangsta

sinful moon
#

For sure, also absolutely insane with his "if in doubt, flat out" mentality but can't complain, he was a legend

grave sphinx
#

damn i cant post images, wanted to show u the subaru

upper knoll
#

link your account and youll be able to

sinful moon
#

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

sharp citrusBOT
grave sphinx
#

i dont know alot about rally tbh

#

just liked a few cars it birthed

sinful moon
#

Ah I got into it in a big way as a result of really enjoying Sega Rally Championship and Colin McRae Rally 2.0

loud marlin
sinful moon
#

then I tried the modern DiRT Rally games and much more since then

grave sphinx
#

yeah DiRT i remember

#

and ToCa

sinful moon
#

to be fair DiRT Rally is a more realistic subseries of the DiRT franchise

#

mhmm

grave sphinx
#

get a subie bro

#

its worth the heartache

sinful moon
#

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

grave sphinx
#

i c i c

sinful moon
#

so I get my kicks in video games mostly lol

grave sphinx
#

are u from america ?

sinful moon
#

Yeah

grave sphinx
#

lucky

sinful moon
#

Not entirely sure about that, but the grass is always greener... lol

grave sphinx
#

when u do get a subie take it off-roading

#

its so fun

slate phoenix
#

Is the site kind of chugging for anyone else?

sinful moon
#

lol I've gone offroading more or less in my mini-van πŸ™ƒ

sinful moon
#

driving a mini-van in Michigan winters kinda teachses you to drive anything

grave sphinx
#

here theres not really any place so u just have to like sneak onto some abandoned farmland

sinful moon
#

Ah even here, there's some neat dirt trails that no one cares about

grave sphinx
#

do u like german cars ?

#

or mainly japanese

sinful moon
#

Yeah I've been getting more and more into BWM

grave sphinx
#

must be nice living close to japan lol ez imports

sinful moon
#

I mean don't even need to mostly with all the Japanese US domestic cars

grave sphinx
#

true

#

bmw r kool

sinful moon
#

that Acura brand is literally just Honda's upmarket brand just for the US

grave sphinx
#

like lexus and toyota i think

sinful moon
#

one of my dream cars, the Honda NSX was the Acura NSX in the US

sinful moon
grave sphinx
#

nsx2000

#

very kool

sinful moon
#

and yeah obvs I mean the original NSX line, instead of the dramatic refresh

grave sphinx
#

flamboyant car

sinful moon
#

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

grave sphinx
#

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

sinful moon
#

meanwhile there's the opposite like the Honda CR-X which was formerly the most stolen car of the late 80s and 90s

grave sphinx
#

LOL

sinful moon
#

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

grave sphinx
#

rn our most stolen is range rovers

#

insurance is like

sinful moon
#

Yeah I can imagine lol

grave sphinx
#

30k in some areas cause of it

mellow narwhal
sinful moon
#

Awesome, heck yeah

boreal scarab
sinful moon
#

I had an 1999 Acura 3.2TL as I mentioned above c:

grave sphinx
#

do u have a dream car ?

#

like if u had a token for any car of the world

#

that u couldnt resell

mellow narwhal
#

I'd probably buy a Tesla

sinful moon
#

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

mellow narwhal
#

That was a smooth car

sinful moon
#

did you have dat V-TEC in yours?

mellow narwhal
#

I don't remember, I was less than 4 years of age

#

It was my father's

sinful moon
#

Ah okay fair enough, when you said your first car I didn't think that's what you meant lolol

mellow narwhal
#

Oh yeah lol, I meant that its the first one I ever rode in

sinful moon
#

Pontiac Firebird was the first car I was in I guess, my parents at the time lol

mellow narwhal
#

Sort of a metallic lustre

sinful moon
#

I think we had that and a 1988 Oldsmobile

mellow narwhal
#

Oh, its that long car

#

I remember seeing it in some movies I think

sinful moon
#

the Oldsmobile? Nah it was a pretty boring and compact car compared to the Firebird. I don't remember what specific model

opaque flax
#

Elizabeth made whois huh?

sinful moon
#

Yes, the woman who ran DNS before it was automated

#

she mainted the hosts file

opaque flax
#

the internet hosts file

sinful moon
#

and they'd just distribute the hosts file to everyone who needed it

#

mhmm

opaque flax
#

well

#

it was ARPANET at the time but

sinful moon
#

Yeah I should say technically it wasn't DNS even back then

#

mhmm

mellow narwhal
#

It's always DNS kekw

sinful moon
#

lol not when it didn't exist... for once

opaque flax
#

my laptops DNS took a crap for only my companies resources in the middle of trouble shooting today kekw

sinful moon
#

but yes typically it is

opaque flax
#

like i could get anywhere

#

except a company resource

sinful moon
#

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

opaque flax
#

heres the fun part

sinful moon
#

uh oh

opaque flax
#

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

sinful moon
#

well that's actually concerning

opaque flax
#

i just get on the internet

#

i can nslookup our various connectwise services and get public ips

sinful moon
#

oh no, I bet they had a fun time just before you started working there

opaque flax
#

i also located a firewall configuration page open to the world

sinful moon
#

oh no

opaque flax
#

i looked in the logs and there was so much brute forcing on it

sinful moon
#

Did you hear about the ConnectWise vulnerabilites in 2023?

opaque flax
#

mhm

#

i sure did

sinful moon
#

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

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 πŸ™ƒ

sounds insane but it's awesome

and the added benefit of Burp Suite recording it all which is useful either way

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

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

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

mhmm, that and JSON are pretty darn friendly. Well YAML more so obvs but fair JSON is so well supported for parsing

I literally migrated my VMware ESXi/vSphere homelab server over to Proxmox at the turn of the year
