Ruthless

[solar plank]

Today world is wierd... Sometimes random cow-hecker-distrokiller can deobfuscate modern slang... Sometimes cow-hecker-distrokiller is just tired....

[topaz topaz]

I hope we become more strict with all this cause a few weeks back we didn't get so many vibe killers

[half girder]

when i copy these weird lines into google translate, and it still doesnt make sense, i gotta ask 🤷‍♂️

[solar plank]

Vibe killers is everywhere but good company... Thanks for the eve, folks!

I'm still side-reading but think i gotta go soon

[blissful snow]

i like your username ^

[solar plank]

It's alright :)

We all don't know something :D

[topaz topaz]

Same I only have a bit of time before bed and I would like to play a videogame

[solar plank]

wathca playin'??!?

[topaz topaz]

By the way before I leave, today I had some inconsistencies with the metasploit introduction room, the exploit failed multiple times then succeeded, and then when I tried again to confirm it failed again. Is this a frequent thing in other rooms too?

[topaz topaz]

The new dynasty warriors! Really excited hearing good things about it.

I usually only spare about 30' for gaming sessions per day though, hope it's worth it

[solar plank]

Gotta google duckduckgo it!

[topaz topaz]

Have you played the old ones?

[solar plank]

Hope you'll have wonderful eve!

[topaz topaz]

You too pal. added you 😄

[solar plank]

Nah, don't think so. A lot of pop culture passed me back in the days, but I were a huge fan of bethesda :D

[topaz topaz]

preskyrim?

[solar plank]

Fallout 3, new-vegas, skyrim

Than played Oblivion and now want to beat morrowind on 2k UW monitod XD

[polar shale]

thatsthem site had some pretty decent osint information

For phone, email e.g.

[thin hound]

Guys I think I slightly underbaked my chicken. Hope I don’t die of salmonella poisoning

[bitter python]

aww hell, dont stray too far from the loo!

hopefully it still tastes good XD

[topaz topaz]

Just tried it with my info, it doesn't give me anything, asks me to pay

[thin hound]

“Nothing is free unless you are the product” or something like that

[topaz topaz]

True not sure why I expected stalking software to be free

You wanna be a creep give us some $$$

[half girder]

speaking of experience, you wont die, you will just have a few horrid days then 😉

[solar plank]

I prefer "nothing is free. Something is not"...

[wary ocean]

thats how white pages is even tho i never use it, it gives me enough information from the free

[solar plank]

I am just a fish....

[thin hound]

https://tenor.com/view/fish-spin-sha-gif-26863370

[topaz topaz]

Go right ahead sir

[polar shale]

You can just run some automation across many of the free osint platforms wirh "free" accounts and filter for specific matches e.g.

Plenty of gh projects out there like this that you cqn look at before getting started

[half girder]

or ask chatgpt, also does osint ^^

[thin hound]

Nah no way

[half girder]

try ^^

[bitter python]

thats hilarious!

[polar shale]

I share my aws keys with gpt to keep them safe /s

Anyways hackers back to reading myself

[wary ocean]

i have a weird pass time of going on my suggested friends, looking at their profile and trying to find where a picture was taken and do literally nothing with that information. most of them are local and ik where they live just cuz its a small town, its honestly just fun to see how easy people make it to find them

[solar plank]

I shared my pizza bagels with chatGPT until it stole my identity....... (sudo_veggies I NEED YOU HERE TO LAUGH AT DIS JOKE!!)

[solar plank]

Lol, may I ask you about social events? Do you talk about it on such kind of events?

Bc when I told that I'm 2x and work in cyber security, use Linux as my main OS and Vim to write somehing, they're like "Go touch some grass, dude... Do you even know what it means to hold hands?"

(highly respect your OSINT knowelege btw)

[opaque flax]

Osintgpt

[thin hound]

Well this is easily found using google anyway. Doubt it can do phone number look ups and other similar stuff

[wary ocean]

wdym talk about the events? like to friends or in a professional setting?

[half girder]

well it crawls the public information for you, what else is osint?

[thin hound]

Yeah but this is like the surface

[solar plank]

Like "I can find a person and where he were just by picture"

[bitter python]

would you even consider personal phone numbers osint these days?

[drowsy dust]

Why wouldn’t it be

[bitter python]

idk, I guess i notice people treat personal phone numbers with a higher level of sensitivity. than something like info you can skim off a linked in profile

but tbf people will often list their phone number publicly too

[wary ocean]

oh, i just like use context clues of like trees and gas stations and what not, and a lot of google maps

its mainly local people so it narrows down the search a bit

[half girder]

thats contingent of the context.. in a professional environment there is no need to hide such things

[wary ocean]

tho i did find a girl in my junior year class where she was on vacation cuz it was ocean, timestamp, and gas station, so narrowing it down was easy

[half girder]

thats a lil creepy

[bitter python]

Thats very true i guess in that context the difference would be say someones office line vs their home land line

[thin hound]

"I'm not a stalker mom, I'm just into OSINT" \j

[bitter python]

still trying to learn all the categories, but fascinating stuff.

[solar plank]

Once I had a crush at JS developer.... I found her on tinder or something and I found a lot of stuff she wrote(websites including her PII in her advertisement card).. Such a strange feeling xd

[half girder]

something for a tshirt xD

[solar plank]

Now I need this T-shirt XD

[wary ocean]

ive found peoples who addresses cuz they post the from of their house

turns out when you have your fucking mailbox in a social media pic you can find them easily

[solar plank]

Ahahha

Imagine contacting them after that :D

[wary ocean]

i was thinking about commenting their address

[thin hound]

One of the girls I know posts mirror pictures with her credit card on full display in the back of her phone 💀

[wary ocean]

or dming

[solar plank]

"I'm reaching you due to your car expired insurance"

[wary ocean]

go to their house like "oh hi mark"

[whole gazelle]

the fuck???

[wary ocean]

i had my ex on snap and she was trying to pull a "you dont know where i am"

like youre sharing your location

[thin hound]

The image is kinda pixelated, but if you try hard enough, you could probably get all the numbers on the back

[solar plank]

You should've called your ex and tell in the phone something like ".... 7 dayyss......"

[wary ocean]

😂 her parents have guns, i aint fuckin with em

[jolly aspen]

“Waving bitmoji exactly where they are”

[wary ocean]

i sent her a screen shot of the snap map like "yup no clue"

[solar plank]

Imagine that you're in "scary movie" xD

[wary ocean]

bro her grandparents live with her in a seperate part of the house, her grandpa had a fucking revolver fully loaded just on a small end table like "oh come in" like nah idk if i wanna now

[thin hound]

I don't get how some people are comfortable to share their live location on snapchat with everybody

[wary ocean]

i have my shit on invisible

[jolly aspen]

You can restrict it to certain people, theoretically

[solar plank]

I love America for that xD

In my country you have... like.... Dried fish...?

[wary ocean]

i hardly use it but i was dating someone or used it more frequently than i do ill have them be able to see it

[jolly aspen]

Some people have friends they trust, too

[drowsy dust]

Yeah, I for one would share my location to certain people just in case

[solar plank]

I don't even use social services except messengers. To weird for me

[wary ocean]

i use to tell my ex "if i dont respond in like 25 minutes you know where my location is roughly cuz of bad neighborhoods i had to drive through

[jolly aspen]

Yea, sometimes it’s good to keep a bread crumb of where you are and where you’ve been…

[drowsy dust]

https://tenor.com/view/james-candy-family-guy-trap-gif-7655570

[thin hound]

Yeah but I'm not even that close to those people and their location is live 24/7

[jolly aspen]

Gottem!

[jolly aspen]

So?

[wary ocean]

my ex's family was tech savvy so i could find TOO much info on them if i wanted to

like, wayyyy too much

[drowsy dust]

Some people are oblivious to danger it’s okay. That’s why we have natural selection

;)

[glass nest]

This is all really creepy.

[jolly aspen]

Like I said. Some do it purposely. Others sheer ignorance. Sometimes services like snap are forthright in what exactly the purpose of location data is for. And sometimes it’s only operational “while using the app” so the data isn’t always accurate anyways

[solar plank]

arent tech savvy people try to minimize their info trails?

[wary ocean]

i meant wasnt but autocorrect is an asshole

[wary ocean]

it is but a lot of people will put it out their publically

[solar plank]

We're livin' in cyberpunk me dudes

[jolly aspen]

There’s a difference between willful intent and just plain ignorance. It’s easy to look at tech with your knowledge base and see how “obvious” it is. For others, they truely believe any tech is 98% magic

[wary ocean]

she though cyber security was dangerous and i could get shot at work... like yea, yea i def will be security CYBER THINGS WITH A GUN

[clear jackal]

You laugh, but it's not improbable.

[jolly aspen]

In media. Cyber is almost never used in any positive context

[wary ocean]

i mean i might if shit goes south "sir why is the network getting breached" sound of shotgun racking "not for long" proceeds to blast the server away

[solar plank]

Get that you, pesky trojans!!!

[fickle marsh]

Is there a way to see the date and time you finished a room?

[wary ocean]

i dont think so

[solar plank]

Anyways, have a wonderful evening \ day \morning or night!

[south jewel]

I want to start my career in ethical hacking but i am too much confuse where to start because there are lot of things on internet
Can anyone guide me what to do where to start and how to learn technical things?

[half girder]

yea but still curious ^^

[half girder]

#start-here

[jolly aspen]

Starting with THM pre-security pathway would be a good start

[atomic atlas]

follow the roadmap pick what you like most when you get good!!!

[jolly aspen]

I mean, it was stated pretty clearly that it would be announced February..not pre February like Jan 20th 😂

[wary ocean]

and do the free stuff first to make sure its something you want before you invest in the sub

[half girder]

did i mention im curious? xD

still worth to try askin for teaser ^^

[south jewel]

Thank you

[jolly aspen]

Im sure their are varying opinions on that 😂

[half girder]

absolutely ^^

[mossy river]

If there's no posts on socials/ email then there's no news

Damn it took me forever to realise why john wasn't working, I put in --wordlist rockyou.txt instead of --wordlist=rockyou.txt

[open kernel]

Hey guys, I recently joined the server. I'm looking for a career change and always been interested in the IT field. I have quite abit of general knowledge around the field and was wondering if the Google Cybersecurity Certification is worth it to land an entry level job.

I understand I need practical experience and a whole lot more, but in a more generalised approach is it worth starting here or what would everyone else recommend?

[half girder]

#start-here

[jolly aspen]

With that alone, unlikely. But #cyber-and-careers is a better place to start a thread on the topic

[open kernel]

Ah, appreciate it

[open kernel]

Got it!

I had to rm a file that started with a - character

$ ls -li

$ find . -inum 13943812 -exec rm {} \;

using the inode 🙂

obviously being careful with a rm operation

[sand trench]

you most likely broken nearly all file naming standards if you got a file starting with a -

[rapid merlin]

when code generates filenames and the first component does not exist

Goodmornin'

[sand trench]

sounds like you need a try catch clause or some defaulting if the varible is empty

[rapid merlin]

it's not my code 😄

[sand trench]

report the bug then

[rapid merlin]

but yes I hear ya, it's not a graceful way of handling that scenario

missing requirements and still creating the file

[rare yacht]

Are the answers documented anywhere for the sidequests this year?

[sand trench]

answers??? no
writeups on how to get the answers on your own by following along with the steps??? yes

oh yea. that exactly

how can i find that page?

[wooden totem]

There has been no such hairstyles in the particular barbershop I'm currently consuming content from

[spark pasture]

D you guys know how to make a cool banner on terminal or any

[topaz topaz]

My Youtube on TV has this masculine urge to recommend the most horrifying disturbing otherworldly bs right after midnight, select looney tunes to play guess what, next video is "YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN SOMETHING MORE TERRIFYING THAN THIS"

Let me sleep ffs

[rapid merlin]

not sure about other Linux distributions but I have a banner(1) command which can be fun to use in the terminal

[topaz topaz]

Anyway rant over goodnight guys 💋

[spark pasture]

How are they made

[wooden totem]

Algorithm does what you tell it

[topaz topaz]

I legit haven't watched any scary videos in over a year for this reason, the only content I consume is music and computer repairs, maybe the hacking podcasts make the correlation with deep web/mysteries

[jolly aspen]

You don’t generate ad revenue sleeping 🤑

[rapid merlin]

from the source code, it looks like a bunch of table data mapping to ASCII characters

[topaz topaz]

I'm okay with scary content but I don't like being woken up at 3 AM with a jumpscare watching me through the screen

[cyan delta]

They emailed me last Thursday asking for my full name to help arrange a few things. I haven’t heard back from them since then

[topaz topaz]

Hahaha I have it on autoplay i sure as hell do 😭

[wooden totem]

You can't sleep because algorithm gives you scary videos, I can't sleep because algorithm gives me 2 hour long soft spoken Japanese barbershop videos

[spark pasture]

Oh gotcha, I tried copying a ”mr.robot” banner but it didn’t work when I pasted it in item2

[rapid merlin]

I go out of my way to feed all my sleep playlist into ffmpeg to remove the dynamic range of the audio... compand=attacks=0:points=-80/-900|-45/-15|-27/-9|0/-7|20/-7:gain=5

[topaz topaz]

That's insane I love it and have no idea what this command is but kudos

[wooden totem]

If I understood this, I would call you crazy

[rapid merlin]

there are also a lot of text banner generators online which can be fun

[topaz topaz]

Brothers in arms at the end of the day..

[spark pasture]

Do I just copy paste and enter or do I have to do something g on my end

[rapid merlin]

I have been woken up to the jumpscare so I feel your pain 😮 I hope you are able to sleep ok next

[topaz topaz]

Anyway the AC warmed up the room and the blankets are nice and soft, time to hit the mattress

[topaz topaz]

Oh trust me I sure as hell will be haha

[wooden totem]

Go abuse your sleeping partner

[topaz topaz]

Jumpscares can't keep me from the sweetness of sleeping

[rapid merlin]

[mellow gull]

I guarantee you they looked up the room or "bounty".

[grizzled wing]

getting annoyed by rooms having unclear instructions

[mellow gull]

May the instructions be clearer and ever in your favor

[rapid merlin]

I have felt that way before, I try and consider it becoming more of a social engineering challenge at that point, sometimes needing to take a break and do something else, or even shift to a different room

some of the challenge sometimes feel like it is about managing my own stress around the scenario

we are dealing with imperfect conditions ie. vulnerabilities

[grizzled wing]

i end up finding a walkthrough to explain the room to me since the room creator failed to bother or assumed the reader knew the steps. bothers me when i am trying to learn the material but i end up saying screw it and just power through it, learning little in demo -wise learning

[rapid merlin]

yes, can relate. it can also be ok to simply power through something

[grizzled wing]

i took my time and read the instructions

also, just not a good day for me. o hwell

[rapid merlin]

incorrect puzzles can be complex

[grizzled wing]

[rapid merlin]

that happens as well, nice to know you can recognize that when it happens

[grizzled wing]

this morning took my 7 tries to brute force a login only after watching a video show the part i did not do, which was login > capture > reset password > capture > login > capture & send to intruder

the instructions failed to mention iterating

[rapid merlin]

not getting expected results can be super hard to absorb, especially when you feel you done everything as indicated

ah!

so you discovered what was missing 🙂

that's a skill

[grizzled wing]

my attackbox alway cuts out every few minutes so that adds to the annoyance

[rapid merlin]

hardcore mode with latency

[grizzled wing]

i will just practice stuff i know, need to do anyway

[rapid merlin]

that is how I cope with challenges that feel too difficult, shift to something which feel more like my comfort zone

until I'm ready to push into new unknowns

this cat could be training to become an astronaut?

it is funny.. I just didn’t want it to be misunderstood.

now I'm wondering what kind of physical requirements it takes to become an astronaut

[wooden totem]

The thingamajig

[rapid merlin]

"for example, be used to access local and network storage devices transparently without the client application noticing the difference"

[lost birch]

I'm on this page 😅

now this is probably a dumb question

A local storage device = hard drive and peripherals right, and network is any drive accessible via the network?

[rapid merlin]

I am guessing NFS network file system could be an example of network drive, also SMB server message block

[lost birch]

I see

[rapid merlin]

Kenobi THM room has some Samba SMB

[lost birch]

That makes sense

Ohhh that's what samba is

[rapid merlin]

ya 🙂

[lost birch]

didn't look it up until now but kept seeing it in nmap scans 🙂

With smb of course

I want to see how that "interface" for VFS works

Because it must have some sort of understanding of translation to all file systems

I wasted hours one day trying to install zeek because my package manager just said "haha no"

[mellow gull]

OKAY it's fixed

A standard update/upgrade didn't work properly, that's funny

[karmic hemlock]

Did you run that dpkg command to fix it?

[dark frost]

Dependecy issues are the worst when somehow your apt repository don't have the specific version... and you just chain errors on errors

[karmic hemlock]

I think when my update/upgrade doesnt work I run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' and that fixes it

[mellow gull]

In any case I'm free until something critical breaks again

[odd lintel]

can i ask a computer architecture quesiton

[opaque flax]

You can

[odd lintel]

i been learning how memory and processor communicate with each other.. trying to understand the cycle which involves MAR MDR CU PC IR ALU and general purpose registers

can some one give me a brief idea about how these work together

[blazing granite]

You’ve already asked a question what stop you to ask another 😂

[cloud quiver]

You have a great room explaining those concepts 🙂

[blazing granite]

Is this related with uni work and/or homework?

[verbal canyon]

Computer arch mentioned it’s probably for his exams

Coz learning about memory addressing takes skill

[odd lintel]

its for my uni i cannot find any good resources on it.. my prof just following some pdfs

[verbal canyon]

Iirc pc is used to enumerate every program instruction, IR stores instructions to perform in mem, MAR is still vague to me and ALU performs the said instructions

Goes through in a cycle

I maybe wrong

[verbal canyon]

Hold up let me see if this helps

I used these videos to get through computer arch

Nvm its not available in English

Morning. I just want to know how much of Cyber Security 101 is applicable to SOC Level 1. So far everything seems to be for Penetration Tester amd I can't seem to get my head around Windows Powershell. Is this normal to feel useless when working with Windows Powershell, as I had to Google almost every answer.

[rapid merlin]

I struggle with Powershell to this day still. Something about the object/verbose/case nature of the naming. I just need to practice it more if I want to get better with it 🙂

you are not alone feeling that way at least

also I was wondering what album to listen to next, thanks @karmic drum 😉

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @karmic drum (current: #2609 - 1)

[karmic drum]

Thank you. Its just compared to Linux, it feels like Windows Pwershell is just unnecessarily complicated. Like who chose to call folders ChildItems? WTF

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @lime ledge (current: #262 - 25)

[rapid merlin]

ya it felt extremely verbose, yet I did read an article on its creation, indicating how objects were a big part of its design due to how Windows interfacing worked

unix is very stream oriented afaik

I probably have to do a lot of unlearning, in order to grasp Powershell well 😄

yet worth it imo for the capabilities it presents on Windows

[whole yew]

Check out the Linux Design philosophy documentation; it will really bring to light the differences in approach between MS and the linux communities

Not that Windows is inherently more awful by design; it's a very different design paradigm

[karmic drum]

I will learn more about Powershell when I get into my SOC course. It seems to be more. I dont know much about coding and it feels almost like coding when trying to do this Powershell. Would like to learn more in time, but for now its really demoralizing as I feel I am this far and still know nothing, but thanks for everyones input. Really appreciate the community. I am also new to Discord so I dont know what this +1 Rep stuff is all about😅

[rapid merlin]

when I was doing a security engineer role I met some really talented people use Powershell to roll out changes on Windows systems, came in extremely useful

[karmic drum]

I think with Windows where it confusing is, when do you use Get or Set, and to chance the location is also weird. Do you include the C: with the path or not, as I tried everything but it doesnt accept any instruction

Here is an example. I tried all different ways, no one wanted to do anything

[near sapphire]

Thanks!

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @cloud quiver (current: #2 - 2296)

[rapid merlin]

some of that might be related to getting good at using absolute vs relative paths https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/io/file-path-formats

[eternal timber]

git branch <timeline5001>

[karmic drum]

That was also a question I wanted to ask. Is there anythimg you guys will recommend I should learn before jumping into Cyber Security, especially regarding SOC. For instance have a basic understanding of a certain language or anything? The jump from Pre-Security to Cyber101 is quite big, feels like I missed something.

[rapid merlin]

this one might be useful https://tryhackme.com/r/room/pythonbasics

any language learned is usually helpful as the more you learn, the more they connect the dots in a way

yet all require investment in learning and practice from my experience

that can be fun too 🙂

[karmic drum]

Shot a lot Sandwich.

same with Powershell

Hello Can someone help me with some CTF?

[visual elm]

Oh no I've suddenly been demoted 😂 Nice to have new levels to work toward again, I had almost forgotten what it felt like.

[finite basalt]

is this new levels?

[elder peak]

Yes

[finite basalt]

I've got some work to do then later haha

[brittle bramble]

Question for all, is being a pentester a good option, from everything i see in the hacking community it seems like such a saturated title, so I simply am unaware if jobs are actually often available to them?

[finite basalt]

depends

[visual elm]

Yeah it used to only go up to 0xD now there are eight new ones up to 0x15

[finite basalt]

Some say it's overrated but you best do research

[brittle bramble]

expand?

[finite basalt]

regarding job saturation, you'll rarely start out as a pentester

I wouldn't worry about it too much from the get go, most people seem to move laterally towards their ideal job role after gaining experience

[brittle bramble]

interesting ( sorry if its a dumb question, i only started learning cyber sec stuff a few weeks back

[finite basalt]

nah it's all good

for example I do software dev at the moment and when I finish uni I'm looking at either a SOC role, devops role or software dev

[brittle bramble]

im less worried about the carreer side of things, i simply want to start in cyber security in general ( and mostly going into college for cyber security, but I dont exactally know where to start. and its been dificult

[brittle bramble]

very interesting, and good luck!

[finite basalt]

but my end goal is actually either pentesting or malware developement and analysis

[brittle bramble]

hell yea

[finite basalt]

it's the idea that once you have that experience in a related field you can transfer skills

[brittle bramble]

right

[finite basalt]

there's plenty of people who've shifted from completely different non-technical jobs to cyber security so there's many paths you can take towards it as long as you're willing to learn and adapt

Like you've got degrees out there, certifications, apprenticeships etc.

[brittle bramble]

thats the path im going down currently

hopefully)

[brittle bramble]

true

[finite basalt]

it's absolutely do-able if you're passionate 😄

[brittle bramble]

i am and I want to be, this is some of the coolest stuff ive genuinly ever learned so far, and as corny as it is, ive never really enjoyed education, rather just tolerating it, but this is shit i actually like for ones and it blows my mind

[finite basalt]

bug bounties can be a good way of practicing once you're getting the hang of things, they provide experience and can get you a bit of cash (although I wouldn't expect it, especially at the start)

[brittle bramble]

ill def look into that eventually!

[finite basalt]

That's great to hear 😄 it goes without saying, where there's a will there's a way

[brittle bramble]

I completely agree, its just overwhelming to me at the moment, being such a huge field of work

[finite basalt]

It's constantly changing so you'll always be learning but as long as you're interested in it you'll be fine

never expect to learn everything

[brittle bramble]

fair points

[finite basalt]

it's good to have a good fundamental understanding of things but with it always changing, it's impossible to be an expert in every area, you may find you have a knack for attacking web-apps or reverse engineering or network security

There's loads of different specialisations within and it's good to have some understanding of them all but once you find what you're good at you can focus on that and continue to learn about other areas as well. Also worth noting that you'll learn a lot from peers within work, here and at conferences so don't worry too much at the moment, enjoy your learning and make sure to get into a habit of writing notes so you can come back to them 😄

[brittle bramble]

right, well I appreciate the advice

also funny side note

im glad ive finally stumbled across a community that is note saturated

i love it

ive always been

[finite basalt]

I definitely agree, I haven't many notes from here but I'm going to be working on that, I do like written notes which is partly why

[rapid merlin]

hi 👋 I would checkout #start-here and look for writeups (sometimes on the rooms page) on the CTF you are doing

[finite basalt]

I remember my last job interview I brought my laptop (in case we spoke about past projects from my github) a pen and paper and copies of my CV

[brittle bramble]

smart!

[finite basalt]

and the pen and paper actually was really handy, we had a team building like exercise where it was the SAS scenario question about "you're on a plane and it crashes in a canadian forrest in winter, the nearest town is 10 miles away, you can take x amount of items from the plane, here's what's available, what do you take and why?"

[brittle bramble]

interesting

[finite basalt]

I ended up actually pulling out the pen and paper, ranked the items and why and then we got put with the other interviewee's and had to agree on a new list together

so again we discussed it, I wrote our answers down and notes as to why and I think they were rather impressed about the forethought I'd put into what I bring to interviews haha

[brittle bramble]

right because not everyone comes prepared, and that shows a propper judgment from your side

[finite basalt]

It's something I intend to do with every future interview and definitely recommend, Laptop in case they want to hear about past projects in case they have anyone techy part of the interview who can look at it, paper and pen for notes and drawings and then CV copies in case you or the interviewer want to refer back to it and don't have a copy

We also had to do a mind dump type thing where they gave us various pictures and we wrote down anything that came to mind, we then had to explain the thought process as part of the interview which was really fun actually because one of them was a car and I'd happened to see something about drilling into the bumper of a car to get access to the CAN bus which is a communication network for a car used by the engine, security systems etc. in a car

The interviewers were also not just like HR, it was my current manager who actually has a decent technical understanding of things but also the team themself and the team got a say in who was hired, we actually as interns also had the opportunity the next year to say what we thought about candidates based on our interactions and observations which I thought was really nice

[brittle bramble]

sorry for slow replies im exhausted falling in and out of sleep lol

but that sounds really nice

[chilly veldt]

[rapid merlin]

I brought a laptop to an interview in gamedev, showed them some of my projects, and a dev was like "what's that?" it was my DAW for making soundtracks, they seemed fascinated by it. I didn't land the programming job, yet got asked to make soundtracks/audio 😄

that never would have happened had I not brought the laptop

[arctic cradle]

did you tell him you code on Vim? maybe that would've gotten you the job

[rapid merlin]

true, I do use vim/tmux combo today 🙂

[arctic cradle]

I know (but don't ask how I know)

[rapid merlin]

I could also be engaging in a campaign of misinformation 😇

[arctic cradle]

you can't do that... not to your personal FBI agent...

[finite basalt]

So the module I just completed for university, the task was to reimplement most of it to remove the restrictions present in it, you could do it using the interfaces or do what a few of us did where we reimplemented it from scratch.

Turns out the source code for the DLL was written in c# and the entire thing can be disassembled lmao, was a realisation a few of us had afterwards after hearing from the module leader that some people just worked their way around the restrictions 🤣

Having taken a look, I've done it a completely different way to them and as it is within my nature to be stubborn, I did it better 🤣

[karmic drum]

@rapid merlin I am now at Scripting and Components for Linux Shells. I see its straight foward coding, which I have no knowledge of. Would you recommend I do that Phyton Fundamentals before continuing?

[finite basalt]

if it's scripting within linux shells I'd recommend looking at the bash related rooms

if it's just general scripting then yeah python would be a good start

[rapid merlin]

rooms often mention any prerequisite, like @finite basalt mentioned, shell scripting (bash) knowledge can be useful there

[finite basalt]

I forgot about prerequisites, I will say I've not been on tryhackme in a while cause I've been distracted haha

I'm gonna hop on later today methinks

[rapid merlin]

you can always revisit rooms too, finished or not 🙂

[karmic drum]

I just want to know where to start😅 the further I go into Cyber101 the more lost I feel. Even though I selected the option that I know nothing, it now seems like I am supposedly to have known something else beforehand.

How applicable is Cyber Security 101 for SOC, as all the tasks I do seems to register on the Penetration Tester Course, and not on the SOC Course?

[rapid merlin]

there is also #room-help and specifically #cyber-security-101-path

I think it's great you are following the learning path/roadmap

[karmic drum]

I wonder, is it mathematically possible to get 0x15 as a free user rn?

[cloud quiver]

I don't belive it is as for now 😄

[brittle bramble]

im new to THM, and i booted up my machine for one of the practices though the 'start machine' button, says its started etc, but theres nothing?

[cloud quiver]

That means that machine isn't meant to be accessed throguh split-screen view

Which room 🙂 ?

[brittle bramble]

https://tryhackme.com/r/room/furthernmap task 2

[cloud quiver]

Yes , this machine doesn't have split-screen view . Start AttackBox and follow along the task 🙂

[eternal timber]

Nuh uh

[near sapphire]

is it just me or is 0x3 and 0x14 the same color

[cloud quiver]

Looks same for me also , maybe there's slight difference in gradient but I can't see it 🤣

[brittle bramble]

i understand but what im saying is yes, i must join the room to get the ip which is neccisary for the room no? and when i join the room, I cannot also start my attack box being that i am doing this for free

[near sapphire]

you can use ur own vm and openvpn if you cant use attack box

[cloud quiver]

You have 1h of AttackBox per day for free , you can use your own machine for unlimited access 🙂

Press green Start machine button from Task 1 to start the target machine and get the IP

[brittle bramble]

i understand that your trying to be helpful, but 🤦

[brittle bramble]

doing this isnt starting the machine

thats my issue

[cloud quiver]

It is . You need to interact with that machine using either AttackBox or your own machine

[sick lance]

Ask Apple,

Can you see connected devices?

[cloud quiver]

Follow along the task

[sick lance]

#site-support is a better channel for this discussion 😄

[brittle bramble]

when i start the machine i get the ip, yes. when i try to start my attack box, due to me having the machine for the tasks, denies me because that would be having 2 machines open, shall i get the ip, close that machine then start my attack box, or would that ip no longer be valid due to closing the first machine for actual view of the second machine

[near sapphire]

could you send the ss to #site-support

[brittle bramble]

yea let me get some actual assistance, sorry for the botherance in here, I dont know what I expected

[near sapphire]

I'll try to help u there and many others will try too

[brittle bramble]

I appreciate it, its just frustrating when you have people telling you the obvious. and thats already been tried, thats the whole reason of it being as issue. I dont mean to be a dick, my apologies

[near sapphire]

np, its better to send ss of your problems cause ppl might misunderstand it over text

[cloud quiver]

What are you talking about ? You haven't read the task at all

[brittle bramble]

im not arguing with you. I hope your night gets better! ❤️

[molten tartan]

is there a way to see how many points you got?

or how many point you get per task

[brittle bramble]

I could be wrong, but I think its just in your profile on the top right

[molten tartan]

i dont see anything

[mellow gull]

Points as in standard point gain for tanks?

[molten tartan]

yes

[mellow gull]

Each question answered gives eight points.

[molten tartan]

ah, thank you

[brittle bramble]

right, I was thinkin rank, so i was wrong my bad i tried lol

[brittle bramble]

dope i also wasnt aware

[molten tartan]

is there a way to see how many points i need for the next level?

[naive violet]

8 for walkthrough, 30 for challenges

I think questions that don't require an answer grant no points

[mellow gull]

If you click onto dashboard and scroll down a little you can see your points. If you hover over the point value, it'll tell you what each rank's point requirements are.

[molten tartan]

thanks

Wdym?

[knotty cargo]

Pls dont kill me

Ive some low profile desktops laying around in the room

[silk cairn]

for example i want to try these

[sick lance]

You could use them, yeah.

[teal charm]

Kill -9 or kill -15

[cloud quiver]

Looks clean , great job 😄

[silk cairn]

yes but i was wondering because im very new to these and i wanted to make sure nothing remains permanent if i do something like that, thx

[knotty cargo]

That vga splinter 💀

It was looking a lot better with the tv but much less useful

[sick lance]

Nothing will

[teal charm]

@cloud quiver can ask are you oscp holder?

[sick lance]

The machines revert to the state they were booted up in.

[cloud quiver]

No , I am not 🙂

[silk cairn]

thx for info

[naive violet]

No.

[sturdy pike]

is there a general guide to how do I make notes in obsidian?

I mean not on google but what people use here just for clarification

and what I can use in my own notes, so for ideas too

[eternal timber]

Dementia

[mellow gull]

There's some good rules of thumb like learning how essential markdown and embedding works but everyone has a different style that works best for them

[finite basalt]

I just put the laundry in, open discord and dementia

interesting

[mellow gull]

Like opening the fridge and forgetting what you were looking for?

[finite basalt]

Nah, more shock factor than confusion haha

[mellow gull]

Fair!

[finite basalt]

Man I'm thinking about ordering pizza and it's 10am

is not looking good

[edgy solar]

I want to meet hacker, if possible or doing work for me plz contact me

[wooden totem]

Imagine a world

[mellow gull]

@mossy river

[finite basalt]

man I love discord

[mossy river]

Hey this is not a hacker for hire discord server

[edgy solar]

I just need help jabba but it's ok plz don't mind

[mossy river]

What do you need help with?

[edgy solar]

Inbox plz I'll share with u my work site ,there I want to get help

[finite basalt]

very mysterious

[wooden totem]

Literally a Teletubby

[sturdy pike]

I know markdown and embedding, I remember the style and the layout you showed me, I'm willing to integrate it but do you also have headfolders?

Can I hack mars?

[eternal timber]

Did you see his strange salute

[finite basalt]

https://tenor.com/view/baby-sun-teletubbies-gif-19804594

[lusty patrol]

That was cool lmao 🤣

People are literally making edits on that

[eternal timber]

🤔

The seemingly facist salute was cool?

The Ramirez pfp checks out

[lusty patrol]

It's okay budd, not everyone gets my humour

[mellow gull]

Headfolders?.. Do you mean folder nesting, or something else?

[gleaming grove]

was cringe

[lusty patrol]

I'm good at it 😜

[wooden totem]

https://tenor.com/view/트럼프-일론-일론머스크-춤-musk-gif-14611234391948951568

Someone fill me in

[lusty patrol]

It's a free world we live in.

[wooden totem]

This free is really expensive

[lusty patrol]

Well well....

[mellow gull]

Brother I am taxed for existing

The world is not free

[eternal timber]

https://youtu.be/-VfYjPzj1Xw?si=1ycV6FHcv1FwHM14

I’m autistic too but come on man

[wooden totem]

Well technically you are taxed for having a privilege of being in "their" territory and "their" people, you are free to be in a jungle

[lusty patrol]

How come everyone is autistic nowadays?

[wooden totem]

The autistic people actually announce it now

[lusty patrol]

Not you specifically but I hear this alot from people.

[eternal timber]

The water is making people autistic and the frogs gay

[mellow gull]

Because people aren't beaten and shamed for displaying even slightly atypical behavior nowadays, maybe

[finite basalt]

it helps that people are being diagnosed now, albeit slowly
it was only discovered about a hundred years ago

[gray sonnet]

damn

wow

like

wow

I mean

WOW

[lusty patrol]

Well, they say the Golder era of the US is coming back with Musk and Trump

[wooden totem]

It seems he wanted to do something cool but did it too hitlerly

[finite basalt]

in fact I think it was only last year that the first person to be diagnosed with autism died

[gray sonnet]

[lusty patrol]

@gray sonnet exactly lol

[gray sonnet]

oh damn

[finite basalt]

my bad it was 2023

https://www.npr.org/2023/06/22/1183842725/remembering-donald-triplett-the-first-person-to-be-diagnosed-with-autism

[gray sonnet]

ah

[eternal timber]

Yeah he’s way too cringe

[lusty patrol]

89? Lmao

[finite basalt]

so yes that would be why there's an "increasing" number of people with autism, it's an increase in people being diagnosed, not an increase in people with autism

[mellow gull]

Past the median age of death, nothing lmao about it

[lusty patrol]

Bro Elon is like a kid who has a lot of money and a brilliant brain.

[mellow gull]

Elon is...
not brilliant by most observable metrics.

[finite basalt]

why's 89 funny?

Elon is a child who made money

[mellow gull]

Elon is a child that was born with money

[wooden totem]

Maybe also because there is a bigger noticeable difference between them, I would assume in older times you were just "lazy"

[finite basalt]

I don't believe he was born into wealth iirc

[mellow gull]

His family owned(s) a gigantic mine in south africa

He was born into money

[lusty patrol]

I know the story kiddo. It doesn't change the fact that he's a genius.

[eternal timber]

“A brilliant brain”

[finite basalt]

I don't know about that but I think it's also important to remember (bearing in mind I can't stand him), parent's money != his money

[lusty patrol]

😶‍🌫️

[finite basalt]

people who think their parents money is theirs are generally speaking entitled strong word

[mellow gull]

Statistically the amount of wealth your parents has is the single biggest indicator towards dictating your quality of life and future success.

[wooden totem]

I remember when he was the opposite, a genius of our time. Before the want for fame

[eternal timber]

He’s a dude who fabricated having a physics degree and being accepted into a physics graduate program in order to look smart

[gleaming grove]

the glazzing is crazy

[finite basalt]

Likely to have a better education yes, not necessarily likely to actually be wealthy

[eternal timber]

Do these people really think he does all the work in his companies

[finite basalt]

but either way I can't stand him so I'm not going to go out of my way to defend him

[sturdy pike]

I think yeah, folder nesting might be it
Full notes > topic > Sub topics
Full notes is the "Headfolder" I mentioned which I think is folder nesting as you said

[mellow gull]

We can agree on that lmao, just - such an annoying person, sick of seeing him in the media

[lusty patrol]

Oh God, man you're the smart one to think that people think he does all the work lmao

[finite basalt]

Only young people tend to follow elon musk and it's because he's "funny haha"

[lusty patrol]

C'mon

[finite basalt]

but he's not really funny

[gleaming grove]

yeah fake diablo 4 and PoE2 top player too

[eternal timber]

You seem to be a bit slow

[finite basalt]

he's just a nuisance on the internet

[mellow gull]

Recently he's actually been snapping a bit too, like to a concerning degree

[eternal timber]

That sentence doesn’t even make sense

[mellow gull]

Could just be stress, but even so

[finite basalt]

Yeah and interferring in foreign politics

[eternal timber]

Yes

[sturdy pike]

Who's following who?

[wooden totem]

✋ 🕵️ 🤚

absolute convolution

[finite basalt]

he messes with things he has no part or understanding in

[lusty patrol]

He is cool as phuck

[eternal timber]

Elon and cool in the same sentence lol

[lusty patrol]

He's got the power. You'll wish to have...

[sturdy pike]

Bro thinks he's the protagonist

[eternal timber]

Well I’m not going to hate on someone I don’t know

His glazers are funny however

[gleaming grove]

bro think hes ironman

[wooden totem]

We should have dinner with him, good idea

[eternal timber]

He actually does

Lmao

[finite basalt]

He messes with crypto and stocks values via his twitter, he donates to foreign political parties (buying influence)

he's just awful

[eternal timber]

Cause people called him the real life iron man for a while

[mellow gull]

Well folder nesting depends on the sort of thing your notes are focusing on. I used the CKC and Attack Vector methodology as my subject headings for my highest level folders and then broke them down further by specific "concept" and then so-on until reaching core techniques.

[sturdy pike]

No one knows him, he doesn't know us personally
But generally everyone does

[lusty patrol]

He just loves to play

[gleaming grove]

yeah with the acdc music n stuff

[finite basalt]

No, I don't wish to be that "powerful", powerful people do not tend to last when they're forward about it

[eternal timber]

(I don’t know personally)

[finite basalt]

the powerful people are the quiet people

[mellow gull]

Guys lin's baiting ya'll and it's really obvious by the way

[finite basalt]

I'm not getting worked up though

[sturdy pike]

I used to think he was okayish back in 2019, not anymore

[lusty patrol]

Ugh, don't tell me power comes from the inside

[eternal timber]

I think it’s more likely that he’s a 14 yr old who worships Elon just by looking at his pfp

[finite basalt]

Wasn't going to say that

[sturdy pike]

He doesn't know how to play PoE2, and he was top 10 people in the world lol

[finite basalt]

I was going to say that truly powerful people don't tend to rub it in the faces of others so much as work subtly and quietly

[sturdy pike]

It's out of my expertise so i'm out

[lusty patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/tkt-smart-gif-20642718

[finite basalt]

Look at businesses like Blackrock and Vanguard, they work behind the scenes and have a foot in most businesses

That is power

[sturdy pike]

I'll have to do some research, thanks for the heads up!

[eternal timber]

Do you know where I can get a dedicated tutorial on obsidian?

[wooden totem]

Elon musk got rich with paypal stocks

[eternal timber]

I have the basics down and made a few notes

[mellow gull]

A lot of it is experimentation. We're all a little unique and do things our own way, and some people benefit from different resource collation than others.

[finite basalt]

and funneling 80 million quid of it to a british political party to put them financially ahead of every other party

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @wooden totem (current: #200 - 37)

[finite basalt]

that is my main gripe with musk actually to be honest

[mellow gull]

I used the video by Odysseas for my initial setup and acted on my own inspiration from there.

[steel aspen]

Does anyone know why my VM internet is slow but my host is much faster?

[finite basalt]

what network type is it?

[steel aspen]

I've went through the network settings on VirtualBox and nothing seems to have changed

[finite basalt]

NAT/Bridge?

[steel aspen]

I've switched it between NAT and Bridge to see if it helps but neither has

[eternal timber]

What a coincidence. I also used the same video to get started

[steel aspen]

I've got it on Bridged now I think

[finite basalt]

it could be the type of network adapter potentially

[steel aspen]

I've never had an inssue with it in the past

[finite basalt]

I can't remember if vbox lets you select the type but I know that qemu and proxmox allow you to virtualise different kinds of adapters

could be driver issues with the OS

[steel aspen]

I could check my other VM?

[finite basalt]

try compare it yeah

do I wait till lunchtime and get a pizza or do I order a bacon sausage and spam butty

both would go hard as fuck right now

[sturdy pike]

agreed, I was looking for ideas, found friends along the way haha, and I now know what to do so thanks!

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @mellow gull (current: #98 - 77)

[mellow gull]

@sturdy pike This is a basic idea of how I utilize nesting. You can see that it starts off very small but can quickly break down into more specific topics.

[eternal timber]

I wanna see your graph view

[graceful mauve]

Yo whoever made tryhackme did a great job

[eternal timber]

Where’s the spice

[graceful mauve]

Gonna get the subscription and do some rooms

Any suggestions

[eternal timber]

Some colors

[mellow gull]

I'm actually kinda surprised they aren't done automatically when I set the folders

I'll get to it when I'm closer to being done (this is nowhere near finished)

[sturdy pike]

I work hard so that my future self has life easier, templates, tags, connecting notes is a part of it

makes a pretty good graph too

[eternal timber]

You set colors for each folder

[gleaming grove]

how do you color the dots? mines are white too

[mellow gull]

You saw that my folders are colored

[eternal timber]

Pretty

[mellow gull]

The dots are not colored

It makes me sad

[eternal timber]

I meant in the graph view settings

[sturdy pike]

Colored looks pretty

[eternal timber]

There’s an option that says groups

[graceful mauve]

Wow, what program is that?

[eternal timber]

On my phone rn but you can probably figure it out

[mellow gull]

Obsidian

[graceful mauve]

Thats sick

[mellow gull]

Yeah I figured it out

I haven't done that yet for the graph, more focused on actually adding content LMAO

[eternal timber]

Yeah but the graph makes me happy

[graceful mauve]

it's actually satifying making graphs like that

ima see if I can pull up an old one

[mellow gull]

There, associated by primary path

[sturdy pike]

That looks so colourful

[brisk tree]

lol i was trying to get the free trial of linkedin pro or plus or whateer it is and it booted me out my account 😂

[gleaming grove]

i think i do something similar, but without the colors

[sturdy pike]

You monster, I do the same!

[eternal timber]

Awesome

[sturdy pike]

Hierarchical notes for the win

[mellow gull]

Almost everything ends up in the one color because there's a lot more resources for attack vectors and hacking techniques than for, say, setting up a Lab lmao

[gleaming grove]

jajajajajaja

[eternal timber]

Been using obsidian for 2-3 days and I absolutely love it

[sick lance]

Don't discuss graphs, Muiri will join and show off his

[eternal timber]

Fair, I decided to make my main folders subjects instead. I currently have math, physics, machine learning, hacking, and general programming. Currently focused on machine learning

[wooden totem]

where are the colors skyler!

[graceful mauve]

That's so satifying

Ima verify rq

[mellow gull]

Totally understandable. It's only gonna get larger for the both of us over time one way or another.

[gleaming grove]

i really like markdown
Thanks aaron swartz
Rest in peace legend

[graceful mauve]

how do i do that again?

[eternal timber]

Gonna plug it into my head when the tech allows it

[mellow gull]

I try to keep things pretty nested and compressed using heading management to keep stuff consolidated into single notes, but it still ends up being a lot

[wooden totem]

I like using pages inside pages

[eternal timber]

Inception

[sturdy pike]

I wanted to know something from you guys, do you make folder and notes with the same name as the room and the topic you're doing and then copy the contents? Or do you write down stuff in your own language?

[eternal timber]

Use your own words if you want learn

[sturdy pike]

In your own language, I mean, with your own understanding

[eternal timber]

You’re just plundering THM otherwise lol and not learning much

[gleaming grove]

50/50

[sturdy pike]

That's what I've always done from the moment I could write, I've seen people just copying content, which is why I asked.

[graceful mauve]

nvm I found it

[mellow gull]

Fun fact: If you use # (Content) to set up a heading inside of a note page, it'll let you compress it by clicking on the heading. Interestingly this can also be used to compress headings of higher denominations into the lowest ones, so if you use ## (Content) you can actually nest content inside of the larger heading note.

This can also be accomplished by having a subject line and then using tab on content underneath it to create a listing that can be compressed into the subject line.

[wooden totem]

things that you understand write in own way, things that you don't understand yet, add to the organized pile for now

[mellow gull]

Compress-ception

[sturdy pike]

I do 80/20, 80% is me writing in my own words as it's easier to rephrase, 20% is the sentences that stand corrected in my head that I don't have to rephrase to understand

[eternal timber]

I learnt this while tinkering earlier

[sturdy pike]

When I found out about this a while ago, it was great to know that I could just compress the paragraphs for the aesthetic really

[eternal timber]

I put stuff that I don’t understand fully in quotations and put in my confusion in parentheses next to it

[wooden totem]

nooo I googled about tiktok one time and now my youtube recommendation is just trump

[mellow gull]

Using these little techniques has made it alot easier for me to consolidate information into single note-pages without having to add whole listings for each individual thing.

[sturdy pike]

I know that I can do that but if I don't understand something, I just go online and test myself about it, if there isn't a test available, I ask chatgpt to make a test for me, then once I get it, I write it, takes time, sure, but worth it

[gleaming grove]

I do the write-ups in my language, and the theoretical stuff is in english while others are in spanish

[wooden totem]

thats actually a pretty good idea

[twin ridge]

what part of my message was a thanks

[mellow gull]

The bot determination has been kinda weird

[wooden totem]

someone say good idea to me

[mellow gull]

I've seen people say thank you (off cooldown) and the bot not detect it for rep

[steel aspen]

So my other VM is good with internet but this one isn't

[knotty cargo]

thanks everyone @

thank you
