general

[devout palm]

Yes

[modest thicket]

man, kudos

[dim notch]

Since we talking abt college should i specifically seek a cybersecurity degree orrrr get a more general comp sci degree

[devout palm]

We also got differential equations as a separate class

[modest thicket]

i cant express how happy i was to NOT have to do Calculus/discrete math 😭

but i have major respect for those who do it

[devout palm]

I actually like math

I could've studied math or physics

But CS is more logical in my case

[rapid merlin]

hiiii

guys

[modest thicket]

i was just upset because i was like uhh what does calculus have to do with cybersecurity

yet many colleges require it

[devout palm]

Yea but it is all the mindset

You know

[rapid merlin]

no way

[dim notch]

Hello

[devout palm]

It improves problem solving skills and much more

[rapid merlin]

sup.

[dim notch]

U barely join too?

[modest thicket]

i can see how this is beneficial. kind of like that whole trope of how college teaches you how to learn better. definitely have experienced this.

[devout palm]

If you study to pass exams, well yeah there is no use

If you also look into how it all works and have your own solutions to a specific problem

Very beneficial to an extent

But in computer science

You can connect math to the computer theory

I.e. discrete math and optimization

[modest thicket]

i read a bit of a book on creating games in Python and could vaguely see how math could be applied there.

[devout palm]

Compiler theory is a whole mathematical theory

[modest thicket]

but im such a scrub

XD

compiler... yea ive heard Linus talk about that but am clueless as to what they do

maintainers.. compilers.. idk

[devout palm]

These 1 and 0s, they come from math and electronics

[pine stratus]

if u wanna be the best hacker , study algebra

[modest thicket]

sounds like bits?

i know 1's and 0's are bits, 8 bits is a byte. XD

[devout palm]

True

[modest thicket]

shoutout to cisco net academy LOL. theyre free too(some content). great resource btw fr anyone considering the field

[devout palm]

Storing data is really tricky and fun

With 1 and 0s you can hold any data, it is just the limit of how much you can store

[modest thicket]

whats really a trip to me is timing and frequencies..

[rapid merlin]

can some one tell me, I'm completely new to this field im currently a food runner, and i want to get into penetration testingis there good scope in it for someone like me?

[devout palm]

tryhackme.com!

[rapid merlin]

with no cllg degree i mean

[rapid merlin]

yeah ik thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @devout palm (current: #27 - 351)

[devout palm]

Most of people here are self-taught, so no degree is mandatory

[dim notch]

There are a couple exercises you can find on youtube to learn the basics and even more complex topics

[modest thicket]

there is opportunity for you, but you have to dedicate a significant amount of time learning. then you need to focus on professional development to land a job. you can do it. hang around and ask questions.

[dim notch]

I myself though have come across the issues of being unable to properly set up a lab of sorts

Tmrw ill probably ask abt how to set up the stackoverflow lab properly

[devout palm]

Shoot it here and people will help

But a bit of self-pushing wouldn't hurt, respect others' time as well

[dark frost]

All the whole world knowledge can be found free on internet 🙂

[rapid merlin]

yh im thinking bout doing ths full time

thankyou for ur advices

[pulsar spoke]

After I finish the free pathway, which CTFs do you recommend to practice?

[modest thicket]

have you explored any other disciplines in cyber aside from pentesting? theres all kinds of things you can that are more entry-level friendly. help desk support, network jobs, sysadmin jobs, SOC analyst..

[dim notch]

Will do

Could you please let me know if I am doing anything wrong?

[sick lance]

Is this for THM?

[haughty bane]

Nop But I came to know about Reponder from THM.
I am using Kali linux in VMware to learn reponder.

[grizzled wing]

seems like an issue more about socketserver.py than THM issue

[shut hawk]

Looks like either settings.Config.DatabaseFile doesn't exist or you don't have the correct permissions

[haughty bane]

Thanks I will check it.

All cloud providers scan the contents.

[rapid merlin]

Decided to get in bed and be lazy for a bit

[finite basalt]

In the process of cleaning my emails I found one from my uni, I've got a rough date for my graduation

[cloud quiver]

I prefer nano 🙂

[sick lance]

Whichever you can use better.

[devout palm]

Oh, there's a chance i know you? Were you always KGB?

[finite basalt]

[finite basalt]

I do software dev but I'm travelling for friends and interviews

[rapid merlin]

I don't know that I've ever had a failed send pop with an error next to the message, at least on mobile

xd

[sick lance]

Haven't used it yet.

Might give that away too.

[crude stump]

im just waiting till stickers are restocked

[exotic vector]

intel be like "lets just pump it full of electricity to bump up performance and then hide when customers get angry :D"

[sick lance]

I still have the majority of the pile I bought last time.

[crude stump]

crazy how fast they go

problem is people buy stacks of them

[sick lance]

Doesn't help when people like me buy over 20.

[crude stump]

😂

[exotic vector]

I dont have any stickers and I dont know what I'd stick them too

[sick lance]

I don't wear hats.

I have enough THM T-shirts and hoodies.

[crude stump]

me either

[shut hawk]

I love the hat

[sick lance]

https://tenor.com/view/annie-community-everything-irritated-pissed-gif-5347565

[shut hawk]

I get sunburnt really easily

[rapid merlin]

I love the hat too

[exotic vector]

I wear my hat semi often

[rapid merlin]

Same

[shut hawk]

And it's comfortable to wear

[sick lance]

The bottle is too small.

[shut hawk]

I feel your struggle

[sick lance]

I prefer my bottles to be 1-2 litres.

[dark frost]

People stick them to laptops usualy or doors

[crude stump]

only time ill where a hat is like to the beach and half the time i wont wear it since im swimming

[sick lance]

University elevators cough

[crude stump]

bathrooms

[dark frost]

[sick lance]

It makes students uneasy when they see an elevator with an invitation to hack it.

[exotic vector]

bathroom stall doors at my uni was mostly used for student union elections

I have actually gotten quite a few side eyes when I wore my thm hoodie or hat lol

[rapid merlin]

Yeah I usually have full coverage sun screen on

[finite basalt]

I just got rid of over 8 thousand emails

very proud of myself

[shut hawk]

ayee nice

archived or deleted?

[finite basalt]

those are deleted

the rest archived

I went through archiving important things and deleting other things

[pliant onyx]

Imagine
I had forgotten
To update the machine's timer

Thankfully I just added an hour

[shut hawk]

love it

[finite basalt]

only about 200 of the emails were important, 8000+ were not 🤣

[pliant onyx]

Chat how do I use searchsploit properly
Like it gives me path, but what do I use the path for?

/general doubt

I can change the path to exploitdb url with a tag

[finite basalt]

I don't want to answer that because you said chat unironically

[pliant onyx]

Which I find useful

But how do I use the path of the files it mentions

[finite basalt]

that being said, it gives you paths to the exploits I believe

[pliant onyx]

my guess is msfvenom

[shut hawk]

whats the output

[finite basalt]

you literally just use the exploit

[shut hawk]

like full output

[finite basalt]

it's usually either a script or metasploit exploit

[pliant onyx]

Stuff like this

[shut hawk]

💯 one of the most satisfying feelings

[limpid igloo]

Where can I find a person with the right skills to assist me in this project?

[pliant onyx]

Where can I find this file on my kali

imma do a find command

[finite basalt]

run search -m 44432

[shut hawk]

searchsploit -m <path>

[finite basalt]

it'll get the script and put it in your directory

[pliant onyx]

ou

[finite basalt]

for the future, it's worth searching how to use tools or use the manpage

[shut hawk]

damn, too slow

[pliant onyx]

I had forgor about the -m option

[finite basalt]

https://bughacking.com/how-to-use-searchsploit-in-kali-linux/ this is the first result when you search searchsploit paths

[shut hawk]

^ or https://www.exploit-db.com/searchsploit

[finite basalt]

yeah

[pliant onyx]

tysm

[finite basalt]

make sure to get into a habit of doing individual research as it's very important within cyber security

and many computer oriented jobs in general to be honest

[pliant onyx]

That's what I primarily do

Mostly from github and exploitdb

[exotic vector]

yep thats why I havent been about for awhile

[finite basalt]

welcome back 😄

what?

[naive violet]

@limpid igloo We don't do hackers for hire here

ofc but its just nice to see

[jovial wave]

yea but the only thing i dont like is how once you get really high like that it comes down to those first come first serve points where you gotta complete the rooms while they are still early to get bonus points dont you?

basically makes it impossible to catch up if that is the case

[remote swallow]

I hate that as well TBH , But maybe that's the only way to rank people at that point

[jovial wave]

yea ig idk i think they need to innovate that more

[grizzled wing]

i am here to learn and have fun, the points and levels are fun but not to be taken too seriously

[remote swallow]

Yeah

[grizzled wing]

most people here are on different journey

[jovial wave]

respectable

[remote swallow]

I constantly switch betwen HTB,THM,books to learn stuff

Currently i don't even have a premium membership of THM

[grizzled wing]

HTB and their stupid cubes

THM has lots of free rooms but , of course, you know that as a fellow green username

[remote swallow]

Yeah but they have some pretty nice rooms . They cover topics in extreme detail and let you go through offical documentations and stuff

[jovial wave]

have any of you that have done the soc level 1 and or soc level 2 path really dove into the soc sim they jus released yet? Wondering if its worth diving into in its current stage

[grizzled wing]

i have started part of it

[jovial wave]

how is it?

[shut hawk]

its worth trying while it's free

its alright

a bit slow imo

[grizzled wing]

for sure HTB is very detailed

[jovial wave]

i have the sub but you mean they will make it paid outside of the sub?

[shut hawk]

its going to be a business only feature

[grizzled wing]

its not really enjoyable for me, but you may enjoy it.

[jovial wave]

riiiiip.. did they say when that would happen?

[jovial wave]

interesting

[shut hawk]

probably somewhere in the announcement, im unsure

[drowsy dust]

It’s already buisness only

[jovial wave]

gg

[grizzled wing]

the SOC simulator is available to subscribers but full features is for businesses who subscribe to the SOC Sim

[jovial wave]

ah ok

[remote swallow]

THM is pretty cheap tbh . But true

[drowsy dust]

One scenario only for non business peeps

[remote swallow]

Lolz

[rapid merlin]

I prefer it over the other ones

[remote swallow]

Also i don't have to get broke in order to buy one fluffin room yk

Some rooms cost like 1 thousend cubes

crazy

[rapid merlin]

But I’m currently on coursera 😆

[remote swallow]

100 usd i guess that comes to

[grizzled wing]

i hate coursera, used to be in tutorial hell

[drowsy dust]

lol

[rapid merlin]

I did a few courses on there and I like the learning style but everyone learns differently

[grizzled wing]

if i want to learn something i usually stick with Udemy

[remote swallow]

Everything under tier3 is basics that THM teaches alot better then HTB in my opinion and everything after that in HTB is like 500 cubes which is like ( i guess ) 40 + usd for each room

They are making money money

[grizzled wing]

they always ask for money, HTB click on this room , "give us money", start this module "give us money"

[rapid merlin]

I’ve also been on udemy 😊

[remote swallow]

Yeah

[grizzled wing]

with Udemy you can keep the material years later

[remote swallow]

Personally i read books

[drowsy dust]

I’d go broke doing that lol. I love learning and won’t stop

[remote swallow]

Alot more detailed

[grizzled wing]

i get updates to Javascript course i did 3 yrs ago

Bro why does every university in the uk have atleast one shit brutalist building , I mean why does every uni building built in the 60s look like something a five year old made out of stone in Minecraft

[remote swallow]

Same here . I own like 10+ tier2 modules and 2 tier 3 modules .. ( I'm now broke asf though)

[remote swallow]

HTB is alot more detailed . Clear your consepts and let you dive on your own a bit . I like that

Extremely necessary in cybersecurity as well

But not good for someone who is just starting out in the field

[shut hawk]

lmao so true

[rapid merlin]

That’s a mushroom

I thank HTB of forcing me to read documentation tbh . because of that now i can just simply google things read documentation and find stuff to break without searching for blogs , Tryhackme modules or even HTB modules that covers those topics

It's like being able to read man pages .. You don't have to google all the time if you can read em yk

A good skill to have

but a bit painful to learn

Haha 😂

hello! is it possible to hack another facebook account after it's already been hacked?

[near sapphire]

time to take a break from this ctf that I only managed to get 1 flag

[boreal scarab]

@mossy river or @sick lance Can help with that

[rapid merlin]

thank you.

[karmic hemlock]

This is devious 😭

[rapid merlin]

😂

[sick lance]

Please seek out Meta support, that's illegal

[brisk tree]

whats with people today asking how to do illegal stuff

[near sapphire]

why is jake no longer a tree

[rapid merlin]

not in my country though. also, it is not for intruding privacy reasons, it correlates with a personal trial

[mellow narwhal]

I thought a HTB subscription would give you access to all the modules up to some tier

[sick lance]

As in court?

[sick lance]

This is what needs to happen.

[sick lance]

Been here long enough.

[sick lance]

today ?

[brisk tree]

yeah in another server someone was asking how to phish

[near sapphire]

🎣

[rapid merlin]

not court, it's personal reasons regarding a lesson i am bound to with someone. well, you do not have to tell me.

[sick lance]

It's illegal to hack facebooks accounts, even accounts have been hacked previously, I would not suggest it and seek out help from https://www.facebook.com/hacked

[rapid merlin]

Waiting for support to help me get back into my account

[sick lance]

Meta?

[rapid merlin]

No I deleted those

Thm account

[sick lance]

Should get that back easy.

Providing you give them the answers to their questions.

i was only asking though. i think you misinterpret my intentions, forgive.

its also in my fault that i was suggesting that thought

[zealous gull]

Hi guys

[sick lance]

Usually when a person ask if they can hack a facebook. 99.9% of the time it will be illegal.

[willow fog]

Hello

[rapid merlin]

Hopefully 🤞

[rapid merlin]

i understand.

[brisk tree]

i mean 100%

[zealous gull]

Yep that’s true

[willow fog]

Is facebook still being used 😀😀

[sick lance]

Yes.

[drowsy dust]

No, I just use meta now

😉

[sick lance]

I know one question is about your token.

[brisk tree]

yep i use it now instead of tiktok 🤮 i deleted that app so quick;y ajaja

[sick lance]

I don't have Tiktok.

LinkedIn is starting to annoy me.

[willow fog]

I dont have either of those

I have tiktok alot

Facebook i dont coz i see its outdated

[brisk tree]

tiktok got so bad

[drowsy dust]

I’m happy I used it for a moment and then deleted it lol

I try to keep those dopamine machines away

[willow fog]

I think it should be banned

[brisk tree]

its so depressing and full of crazinesss.

[rapid merlin]

omg.. user

hi all hope you have a nice evening

[wooden totem]

I'm convinced facebook only has 2 sides, old people that know eachother posting updates and bots

[rapid merlin]

not really

[sick lance]

I use Facebook for local news.

And for when people need their computers fixed.

[drowsy dust]

Facebook market place my beloved

[rapid merlin]

lots of young people use it too... but it's demographic

[sick lance]

I've got some good steals on there.

[drowsy dust]

I love it for that

[sick lance]

Once I bought a PS4 slim with 15-17 games, traded all the games in to CeX and got my money back and more.

@swift viper Can I ask why you've DM'd?

[drowsy dust]

Someone’s mom was mad lol

[sick lance]

100%

I'm not caring 😄

[drowsy dust]

😂😂

[wooden totem]

Alr facebook marketplace is fire, you can hit gold on there sometimes

[clear jackal]

It's pretty good if you're near a major Metropolitan area

[drowsy dust]

Indeed

[flint lintel]

Chat is this real ?
Yes, you can absolutely use the command c_program < file.txt in Bash and then read the contents of file.txt in your C program using the read() system call. When you use < file.txt, the shell redirects the standard input (stdin) of your program to the contents of file.txt.

[wooden totem]

idk why its specific to fb marketplace, I could never find any gold on sites that are specific to selling used stuff

[clear jackal]

I've bought cycling trainers, AVRs, etc

[wooden totem]

I kinda dislike that everyone wants the thing you are selling for cheaper and the price on the listing doesnt mean anything, idk why that is the norm

[drowsy dust]

Bro fr. I would always list the item at or almost at my best price to give out deals

But they greedy af

[zealous gull]

That’s the nature of people

[clear jackal]

Because that's bartering?

[drowsy dust]

I feel that

[wooden totem]

I like it more simple, give me your lowest price - if I like it I buy it like in a store

[clear jackal]

It's how Marketplace, Craigslist, ebay, etc work

[mellow spire]

@azure oasis how can i join you guys ?

[clear jackal]

You have that option though when you're purchasing new from a store

[wooden totem]

I always put that the price is non negotiable so I can avoid talking to people for them to change their mind when I tell them they can't have the items for 50% cheaper

[rapid merlin]

The token used for my not linked discord

[clear jackal]

Sites like marketplace are built around bartering. You don't need to barter, but if you notice the items aren't in the condition you were expecting you can negotiate

[drowsy dust]

I’ve had people come get something and say “oh I only have this much on me” lmao

[shell nova]

the wording is wierd, but yeah

[flint lintel]

is it inaccurate ? which part is weird 🤔 ?

[shell nova]

basically stdin is populated by whatever's in the file

[shell nova]

it's not inaccurate, just a bit hard to understand exactly what it means

[flint lintel]

okay

[shell nova]

it feels like it inverted the meaning

[sick lance]

Yea. 😄

[rapid merlin]

😐 god

[sick lance]

They'll ask others.

[rapid merlin]

I may have to make a new account

[flint lintel]

The more I think I understand, the more confused I get 😔

[shell nova]

not too complicated, follow the arrows

[flint lintel]

So it means I can do program < open_socket_number or something and I can pass input to the program from an open connection too, right ?

[shell nova]

eh, everything's a file so...why not?

[flint lintel]

okay, gotcha !!!

[drowsy dust]

Maybe you could prove it’s yours by billing history maybe? And email associated? Public ip. Idk like many identifying factors

Maybe that’s a way?

[grizzled wing]

need some username ideas?

[rapid merlin]

I emailed them off the email I use

I’ve been looking all over the web. Maybe they wanted it to look like discord and already had access to my phone. That is also a possibility

[rapid merlin]

I think if you were mot using the old account someone broe in, this happened to me too :/

[round orbit]

Yeah, the NCSC just provides guidance right?

[silver sky]

Not really

NCSC is law enforcement

[finite basalt]

I believe we have an equivilent for CVE publishing

they also scan british IP addresses to identify vulnerabilities

[round orbit]

They're the technical authority for UK's cyber security, but they provide advice and guidance

[rapid merlin]

Yeah I mean I wasn’t using it because they got into it in the first place but I did want to look over old conversations.

[round orbit]

Yeah, MyNCSC. I use that

They have an early warning system

Air marshal alert

[cloud quiver]

For me initial access was a problem , after that was relatively good 🤣

[naive violet]

@round orbit In terms of technical standards to align to, sometimes people choose nist because it's easy. Cyber Essentials and CE+ are worth knowing about too

[knotty cargo]

anybody had blank screen with blinking cursor when trying to install nvidia driver ?

[silver sky]

Then sign a declaration that I have no live ammo in my possession etc

[atomic atlas]

yes that’s me

[rapid merlin]

What about dead ammo

[modest thicket]

like was your previous name Goku?

[cloud quiver]

It should blink a few times 🙂

[pliant onyx]

Yeah, I got the initial access, I even got a ||directory with plugin names and stuff||, just left to find something useful

[silver sky]

Technically not legal to import either unless professionally cleaned

[round orbit]

I’m aware of CE, I think if anyone can achieve CE it’s pretty pointless unless they get the CE+ though

[naive violet]

It's a baseline

[knotty cargo]

It did it for too long sadly

Also i can get to tty screen but not login

[naive violet]

CE is designed to be accessible for a reason. The whole CE scheme, CE and CE+, are designed to defeat common attacks

[cloud quiver]

Well that shouldn't happen but few quick blinks are normal 😄

[rapid merlin]

Awh okay but yeah plants need to be imported with a licence. Most the plants I like are in the UK and are much cheaper to buy over here than in the US

[round orbit]

Yes but it tells others that you work to that standard

[knotty cargo]

Yeh i left it for enough time i think

[naive violet]

Cyber Essentials means they have put effort into their security

[atomic atlas]

I was doing a room with someone yesterday and it didn’t work at all… We had to scan the port multiple times, gobuster kept throwing errors. Today the attack machine doesn’t work well. The websites take forever to load or doesn’t load at all

[naive violet]

It's a very good thing

[cloud quiver]

Yeah I was struggling with that , in fact that was the hardest part imo 😄 .

[atomic atlas]

no it’s not me 😭

[knotty cargo]

I happend to me before and i fixed it by deleting the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file

[naive violet]

As a minimum. It doesn't cap your security controls, it doesn't limit them.

[silver sky]

Fair enough! If I get a chance Monday I'll take some photos of the plants at the market.

[modest thicket]

ahh ok ")

[knotty cargo]

But i cant even find that file in my case now

[pliant onyx]

Agreed, the rest was all right under the nose
In fact, I already know exactly how I will priv esc, I just need to get an RCE 😂

[round orbit]

But you can apply for it internally, only CE+ uses an external audit right? So it’s a lot more vigorous and more trustyworthy

[cloud quiver]

Well it may be some congestion on THM side , it's weekend after all 😄

[naive violet]

Yes, CE+ is more. THat's the whole point of having two tiers.

Good luck 😄 .

The point is, companies will comply with standards when there is a business reason to.
Cyber security does not bring in revenue. It is a cost to prevent losses of revenue. That's a hard sell most of the time, and a harder sell when you pay £320+ without getting any benefit

I wasn’t aware it had to be signed off by an exec

[silver sky]

Not really 😂

What are you doing in Iraq?

[silver sky]

Working

[modest thicket]

super historical place.. lots of history in the area. sad its so war torn.

[round orbit]

Forces?

[drowsy dust]

Nah he is the force

RAH

[round orbit]

Is he in the mob

[drowsy dust]

lol

[round orbit]

[drowsy dust]

Oh that’s an actual question

Idk

[round orbit]

Oh

Ok

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cyber-essentials-scheme-impact-evaluation/cyber-essentials-impact-evaluation Might be interesting to you

[round orbit]

What happens if you have CE and down the line you may stop being eligible? Does the company get hit with a fine?

[naive violet]

What?

[round orbit]

Well I’m guessing you have to maintain compliance once you have it

[naive violet]

You revalidate CE every year

Just by doing it again

[round orbit]

Yes but a lot can happen in a year

[naive violet]

Correct.

But again. Baseline.

Most Cyber Essentials users (91%) say that the scheme has directly improved their confidence at being able to consistently implement steps to reduce cyber security risks. They generally say they are keeping on top of Cyber Essentials scheme requirements regularly through established internal processes, which is helping to boost their confidence further. Most scheme users (91%) also believe that Cyber Essentials has directly improved their confidence in being protected in the event of such an attack.
You might think it's "basic security" but it's about getting basic security everywhere

[silver sky]

Contractor

[round orbit]

Okay but lets say that you come across a company that is Cyber Essentials certified but clearly is not conforming to its requirements

[grizzled wing]

W I D E Boi = 🪖 ?

[round orbit]

MOD Contractor?

[silver sky]

Private

[round orbit]

Ah nice

[naive violet]

Then they'll fail revalidation
This is the same with many many things in life. Think MOTs

[grizzled wing]

ooh private sauce

[round orbit]

Stay safe out there

[round orbit]

Ah I understand now

[drowsy dust]

I’m special forces.. because I’m special

[round orbit]

Did you attend the special forces march parade

[naive violet]

Cyber Essentials gets you thinking about security and helps you create a baseline
You then implement processes to maintain it to make revalidation easier.
If you need it, you then get CE+

[drowsy dust]

No im not actually special forces :P

[round orbit]

To be honest if I were in a position of authority I’d choose to take it even if it didn’t directly increase profits

[naive violet]

Yes, because you're interested in cyber security

That's evidenced by being here

[silver sky]

Yes with the other 5000000 people who were on the Iranian Embassy balcony

[round orbit]

Yes but also if company sees you with it, it’s like a big green tick for them to do business with you

[naive violet]

Depends on the company, they might mandate it before doing business (the gov does)
That'd be a business case for spending the money. That has a return on investment

[drowsy dust]

More opportunity for more monaaaay

[round orbit]

Sometimes in business you have to think about your relationships and not just about income (Broadcom)

[naive violet]

The relationships are income.

[round orbit]

Long customers > New customers

[naive violet]

Again, that's income

[round orbit]

You know what I mean xD

[silver sky]

Income is income, it's business 101

It's why my business failed. No income

[naive violet]

The maths has to work out, otherwise it's not a business. You maintain those relationships and try to improve them to drive revenue

[round orbit]

But reassuring your customers and partners is just as important

[rapid merlin]

I was given a card of a rich businessman to go and get help starting up a business after all that happened and I was too nervous to go 😂

[naive violet]

To protect your revenue

By protecting your brand reputation etc

[round orbit]

Yes

[naive violet]

It's all about the money. Security comes down to the numbers.

[round orbit]

You are correct

[naive violet]

Let's not encourage crime please, that's against the rules here

Even as a joke

[drowsy dust]

Understandable

My bad

[rapid merlin]

I don’t even know what that means lol

[round orbit]

LLCs are similar to LTDs right?

[rapid merlin]

What’s a LTD

[drowsy dust]

Idk what an LTD is

[round orbit]

Or is it INC

[round orbit]

A limited company

[drowsy dust]

LLC is a limited liability company

[silver sky]

Not really

LLC owners are responsible for their debts.
Shareholders in an Ltd are not responsible for the company's debts.

LLCs can be taxed as a partnership, S corporation, or C corporation. LLCs pass taxes on to members to pay on their personal income.

Ltds are taxed as a separate entity and pay corporate taxes on their profit.

LLCs are unincorporated business entities.
Ltds are incorporated in their jurisdictions.

LLCs are more flexible regarding how they are managed and owned.
Ltds are less flexible due to their greater level of regulation.

LLCs are a good choice for businesses that want to prioritize flexibility and growth.

Ltds are a good choice for businesses that want to prioritize robust levels of personal protection for their assets.

[round orbit]

Yeah so a corporation is owned by stakeholders

Did you know that Sir James Dyson owns 100% of his company Dyson

[silver sky]

Yes I did

[drowsy dust]

😨

That’s baller

[round orbit]

That's very good

[drowsy dust]

Can't wait to start being able to use burp without having to think four times before I do something

[pliant onyx]

Why do you have to think 4 times

[rapid merlin]

New to it and too many things to grasp as a beginner 😄

The internet is full of weird videos

[pliant onyx]

Fair, but consider: cat videos.

[pliant onyx]

Understandable. Take your time

[rapid merlin]

Yeah true, I got cat

[pliant onyx]

Show cat if possible

cat cat

hehe

I just heard someone on YouTube call a frapp a reallly really wet cake. That’s not coffee, that’s a wet cake 😆
