its old . i dwonload new one and its not there

[gray sonnet]

It's nothing THM related, he mentioned he used exegol on his work mac, just wanted to chat with him about it

[cloud quiver]

I will try to download newset version now and see what's going on 😄

[sonic crest]

its 7.1.16 ig

[sick lance]

Ah no worries. 😄

[gray sonnet]

Aye

[rapid merlin]

I'm slogging through DMVPN today, I love how flexible networking makes things

[cloud quiver]

It's nearly the exact same thing 😄

Just click on the Expert button above to switch if needed

[sturdy pike]

I feel like having my sub paused so that I can finish python, but i also wanna do networking, professor Messer's videos are better I feel, what can I do?
Linux is giving me fatigue just turning it on lmao

[rapid merlin]

I have an up to date version of VirtualBox and it's there

[sonic crest]

there is nothing fpr me

[cloud quiver]

Well you can pause your sub for a bit 😄 . Majority of content is free anyway 🙂

[rapid merlin]

networking is always a useful tool to learn

[sturdy pike]

I feel it's the case of my distractions getting the better of me that I can't give much time to things that are important, alright, I'll pause it and take notes from professor Messer and read the "automate stuff in python" book, thanks!

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @cloud quiver (current: #2 - 2518)

[cloud quiver]

I always like to focus on one thing at the time , so I would pause temporary with THM and pursue to do Python if that's what interests you more at the moment 😄

[rapid merlin]

@cloud quiver I'm similar, I like to dive deep on a specific topic

[cloud quiver]

Yeah me too 😄

[sturdy pike]

Agreed, I'm leaning more towards python because i dont know any programming language fully, I used to know Java, HTML, CSS, JS, didn't practice them much and forgot them, I feel having some projects under my sleeve will work well which is why I'm doing python because it has more use cases everywhere so making projects with it and delving deep into it will be good in the long term.
I know half of networking because i once took up professor messer's course and only finished it halfway then i had exams.

[cloud quiver]

Yeah Python is a great overall language with many use cases 🙂

[sturdy pike]

Yes, gotta get to it then, I'll do what I'm supposed to do it seems, thanks!

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @cloud quiver (current: #2 - 2520)

[rapid merlin]

seems my perl and bash skills are no longer needed

[sturdy pike]

There isn't an option to pause the sub it seems

[rapid merlin]

I've not heard of a learning platform that lets you pause it

[sturdy pike]

The support bots says I can pause it

But there isn't any option

[rapid merlin]

does it mean you just stop paying for a month?

[crude stump]

I might swerve around the corner woahhwow

[dark frost]

You can decline the current sub , and you have access for the end of the month

Then it won't renew automaticly

On Profile substriction parameter

[sturdy pike]

Ah understood

[rapid merlin]

you can, I used to do this before I got Annual. I don't like things just leaving my bank

[sturdy pike]

I'll continue using the services till the end of time

There're two Python intro rooms on THM , you maybe interested in checking them out 🙂

[restive quartz]

Heys guys, when you have a link like ' http://enum.thm/labs/verbose_login/functions.php'
I need to click it on the vm or on my computer ?

[cloud quiver]

You will probably need to add that domain to hosts file 🙂

[restive quartz]

in /etc/host on the vm ?

[cloud quiver]

Yes 🙂 . And make sure you're connected to THM network via VPN 🙂

[restive quartz]

i choose via the the attackbox

[cloud quiver]

You still need to add domain to /etc/hosts

[restive quartz]

ok ty

relaunching the app does no harm, but is not helpful for this situation ~~

[silver sky]

Correct

[grizzled wing]

i won a flag || thm{let_the_mods_help} ||

Not at all, you tried to help, in doing so you learned something you didn't know before.

[wicked mist]

When I try to do RDP with the credentials they have given, I try to log in, but it always shows 'Username or password is incorrect,' even though they are correct. any help

[sick lance]

Is this for THM?

yes

[quick plank]

Is vpn setup?

[wicked mist]

yes

[grizzled wing]

on linux?

prob not rdp on linux

did you copy or type out the username and password

[wicked mist]

type copy is disabled

i typed more than 10 times

rdp in linux only

Rdp on linux?

I mean you can technically. Just ssh and see if it works

[quick plank]

ye I would also use ssh

I just realised that half of my money goes to taxes. Earlier it was 30 ish %

[grizzled wing]

caustic taxes

i realized i did not make notes for some rooms, what a fail

[pliant cairn]

Honestly its too kuch tax on everything

[pliant cairn]

I don't for many rooms. Now we know why im still on lvl9 lol

[grizzled wing]

the room i am redoing is XSS, i did it last year but i didnt make notes haha. so silly

[pliant cairn]

Im actually studying for web200. Xss is just weird. Back in my old company i used to deal with a lot of protocol violation attacks. That is Intuitive but xss feels like a new thing everytime i do it

Maybe its just because majority of it is cause of JavaScript and wherever there is js there is chaos

[grizzled wing]

there is a reason why javascript was stated as the most hated programming language on Numberphile video, none of the PhDs liked it due to the chaos it allows

[pliant cairn]

Fr

I really wish society goes thru the choices it made and put js to rest

Make it the new flash

[grizzled wing]

haha

[rugged kayak]

multiply class with a string

[pliant cairn]

This is still ok.

[grizzled wing]

plus every month there is some new framework

[pliant cairn]

But this is not ok

[pliant cairn]

Fr. Im just happy I don't have to deal with web dev

[rugged kayak]

https://dayssincelastjavascriptframework.com/

[pliant cairn]

The whole node, js, react etc is just not my thing.

And npm packages and the vuln they have is just pure hell. I hate that devs can't just stop using a package cause everything breaks if they do something

[rugged kayak]

my biggest problem with javascript is error handling

[rugged kayak]

do you know about left-pad incident

[pliant cairn]

Rephrase it: my biggest problem with javascript is javascript

[rugged kayak]

also true

[pliant cairn]

No.

[rugged kayak]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Npm_left-pad_incident

everything is micro dependency

you also have isNumber package

because devs are so lazy that they cant write 2 lines of code to check if something is number

[pliant cairn]

Yeah I can't stress this enough. Anything with babel gets pure hatred from me. Sorry js lovers.

[rapid merlin]

I gave react a shot... didn't like it :) js is fun and games till it isn't 😅

Really want to try python next, didn't know there were rooms in thm

[pliant cairn]

Python is the goat. Fun, perfect, slow but gets the job done

[rugged kayak]

python is the best worst language

[rapid merlin]

Heard it was slow... and some terms are different.. not sure if I'm mistaken with dictionaries..are they objects?

[mellow narwhal]

@devout palm Was it a reflected XSS you found? Because I was wondering whether they accept it or not

[pliant cairn]

In python everything is an object. Even your mistakes.

[austere verge]

Even women

[rapid merlin]

I'm an object lol :))

[pliant cairn]

Aren't we all just star dust.

[rugged kayak]

we are not real

[rapid merlin]

Simulation nation :D

[austere verge]

We’re conscious though so we get to call ourselves not objects

[rapid merlin]

Has anyone tried godot? There was a time when I tried to study coding games and headed something on godot

[near sapphire]

i have so many things to do tomorrow, gonna go to bed early

You should stay up all night playing video games instead

[rapid merlin]

Rest well :)

Yep

[austere verge]

I have my first class of freaking object oriented programming 2 tomorrow

[rapid merlin]

I'm not that good either, actually really bad at it since i haven't been coding lately 😅 🙃 but an indie game would be a cool project, or so I think

[rapid merlin]

That’s true I kinda like comp sci class

[austere verge]

Oh I see

We did cover them just he didn’t call them the 4 pillars of oop or anything

[rapid merlin]

Abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism i remember my teacher telling us they were important

Like very important concepts

[devout palm]

Polymorphism

https://revdiaries.com/post/reversing-virtual-functions

[mellow narwhal]

Aww I remember studying those

Java I think, we were learning OOP concepts

Its been a long time since I heard those terms

Though I never used inheritance even once

[devout palm]

I had to use it on PHP

And maybe C#

[rapid merlin]

Yeah... had java in college.. last year I finished cs but to be honest starting from the half of my second year things are in a blurr 😅 went through some rough times but still glad I managed to finish uni at 37

[devout palm]

I never go behind these kind of trucks

[loud marlin]

Oh dear, that's a real action right there

"The Kurgan"

[austere verge]

I went through some shit my first year and basically got kicked out of uni but came back for a second year on a technicality

[loud marlin]

you are old 🙂

[rapid merlin]

I wouldn't trust my mate anymore if he did that lol 😆

[rapid merlin]

Mates* they literally all pointed to me

[rapid merlin]

Not sure if you watched supernatural there was sn episode with clowns

[devout palm]

Will check it out

[whole yew]

I prefer to think that Shawshank Redemption is a prequal to the highlander

and that Capt Hadley is areally the mid-20th century life of the Kurgan

[austere verge]

Did it matter if it was a guy or a girl clown

[devout palm]

I want to talk to stupid kid

[rapid merlin]

I haven’t but one of my favourite movies is zombieland and they gotta fight a clown in that 😆

[devout palm]

Who commited that terrible crime

[rapid merlin]

No I just didn’t like clowns

[loud marlin]

i once stole a pen 🙂

[rapid merlin]

Never heard of it watched supernatural, walking dead and American horror stories(?) The season with the circus was creepy

[rapid merlin]

Ohhhh when I was a child I stole one shoe

[sick lance]

That was the worst season by far.

[rapid merlin]

Guess that's a way of overcoming fear .. 😅

[austere verge]

I’ve never stolen anything but if I did it’d prolly be smth stupid like Pokémon cards

[rapid merlin]

I didn't see them all, but I liked the first season a lot and I think the one with the witches was also nice

[sick lance]

I've never really likes freak shows and such, so I wasn't really fussed on that season,.

[sick lance]

Coven was one of best.

[rapid merlin]

Running away from a clown while dodging alien vs predator, mother from Caroline and Halo soldiers 😂

Being chased through comic con

Kinda funny

[austere verge]

Master chief cosplays make me

[rapid merlin]

That's the one with withes, right?

[sick lance]

Yeah 😄

[rapid merlin]

My mates when they were teenagers stole yugioh cards. I dunno which one is worse 😆

I never stole anything as a teen

[loud marlin]

worst tv show is that 100s. the space prison thing

[sick lance]

It goes.

Murder House.
Asylum
Coven
Fresk Show
Hotel
Roanoke
Cult
Apocalypse
1984
Double Feature
NYC
Delicate

Hotel was another favourite, Lady Gaga is amazing in it.

[rapid merlin]

On the bright side your running skills have improved :D

[rapid merlin]

I’ve not seen any of these

[sick lance]

And Delicate, as much I hate to say it.

Kim Kardasian was one of the best things about that season.

[sick lance]

American Horror Story is great.

[rapid merlin]

My running skills have always been great 😅 I grew up in east London

[loud marlin]

watched American Gods?

[rapid merlin]

See how fast you can run with a group of boys chasing ya

[rapid merlin]

I stopped at roanoke a lot of catching up to do 😅 but yeah, the one with the witches also liked

I’m sure you’ll suddenly find the energy

[sick lance]

I haven't no, I don't watch much TV as much I used to.

[rapid merlin]

Not see that either

[rapid merlin]

Ah sorry don't understand this, i lived in London for 6 months a long time ago back on 2015

[sick lance]

The list is American Horror Story, it's all seasons.

[rapid merlin]

Trying to remember 2015 😆

[loud marlin]

i avoid it but is nice show. weird from start. is liek start in middle of story and then rnd time run to explain pass things and same time move forward

[rapid merlin]

Ohhhhh okay

[rapid merlin]

I'm old xD

[sick lance]

Horrors are my all time favourite.

[rapid merlin]

I loved scream

Do you remember house on the haunted hill

[sick lance]

Which one?

[rapid merlin]

I watched that when I was a kid 😅

[copper iron]

hey i'm new

[sick lance]

Hi new here, I'm Scrubz, welcome to the server!

[rapid merlin]

I don't think i have a genre... like sci-fi but also horrors and thrillers even chick flicks lol

[rapid merlin]

I loved all the screams, I think there is a new one out

[sick lance]

There is.

But I also meant House on Haunted Hill.

[rapid merlin]

The first one of house on the haunted hill I believe

[loud marlin]

watched Rose Red ?

[rapid merlin]

Let me see if I can find it

[rapid merlin]

Hello

Didn't watch them, but am putting them in the list :)
Have you seen perfume: sorry of a ||murderer||?

[rapid merlin]

It not that new, not that horror-ish either

I once watched this really messed up movie “I spit on your grave” and so I watched number two

[loud marlin]

[rapid merlin]

Nothing makes me angrier than that movie

I could just reach through the screen and punch that man I would have

Darn.. I'm not home yet and have to make a list with the loot in here :)

[sick lance]

It's maybe a good idea to shift the conversation.

[loud marlin]

yea

[loud marlin]

but yea. tehre is some nice horros that jump out from list

Carrots as a crisp ?

How is the minimum wage over there though

[sand trench]

meep moop it is time for the scoop

[grizzled wing]

moorp meep loop

[loud marlin]

two things i start to hate more and more... magnets and super glue...

[rapid merlin]

Over here ?

[karmic hemlock]

Yes

[rapid merlin]

Let me check

[grizzled wing]

that is what the posters say. dreams can come true in america if you are right person i guess

[rapid merlin]

£12.00

A lot of people in retail are on 0 hour contracts no ?

Or did that end

I was on a 0 hour contracts which means they only had me in for two shifts

[cloud quiver]

Well , I think they are the country with most opportunities ( in terms of business ) 🙂

[pliant onyx]

Google displays this field on certain search results, so keep an eye out for it

[karmic hemlock]

Ok for comparison, in most of the Midwest and especially in Pennsylvania, minimum wage is $7.25, which means after working an hour you can afford maybe 2 gallons of gas depending on where you go

Gas in Pennsylvania right now runs about $3.25-3.50 per gallon

[sand trench]

does it display that on googles ad entries in the results?`??

[grizzled wing]

that is valid, yea. starting a business and making something is most welcome there (based on what i have learned). america works well for some groups of people more than others

[sand trench]

because a lot of people get hacked from fake vlc or blender download links

[pliant onyx]

I saw it on a non-ad result

[karmic hemlock]

I'm not sure what that is if I'm being honest

[sand trench]

i.e someone pays google for a fake vlc or blender ad spot

[rapid merlin]

I think for what I wanted it’s better

[sand trench]

then people click those and install the malware without knowing

it has been a scandal a few times by now

[rapid merlin]

“s a type of employment contract where an employer does not guarantee a minimum number of hours to an employee.” Which means they can have me in for four hours for two days

[karmic hemlock]

Don't get me wrong america is great if you can snag that 6 figure cushy corporate job

Thats only attainable for about 15-20% of people though

[rapid merlin]

In the uk the flat I’m living in rn would cost ya 1600 ish rent a month

[grizzled wing]

america is a pros & cons list decision, healthcare is huge factor, few unions, getting fired at any time, etc etc

[rapid merlin]

Now I want you to compare that 1600 a month for the minimum wage I just told you about

[karmic hemlock]

We have something similar to that here at my company at least for part time. They only guarantee 4 hours a week

[rapid merlin]

This country completely stops you form working if you’re single

In America I’ve seen so many well off single moms it’s crazy

[grizzled wing]

but i do envy how you can move on up in life , the possibility is there where other places do not have it in the same way

[rapid merlin]

Over here you would starve

[karmic hemlock]

What videos have you been watching? 😭

[rapid merlin]

Kensington Philadelphia is like Downtown East Vancouver sadly

[karmic hemlock]

Idk about well off but alot of them get nice big grocery carts from snap benefits

[grizzled wing]

east vancouver is nothing but sadness next to the wealthy place, juxtaposition of capitalism

[rapid merlin]

Here if you can’t get a food voucher from the church you won’t eat

I spent many days with no food

[karmic hemlock]

Also, a nice apartment in the area I just discussed where minimum wage is $7.25 can be as much as $1300-1500 for one person

[rapid merlin]

I even complained to the gov that there were no jobs and showed them how much I had applied. They didn’t even respond 😆

[karmic hemlock]

Thats the one thing our country does ok with and I'm sorry you had to deal with that.
Our Healthcare and public infrastructure is unfortunately dogshit though

[grizzled wing]

$7.25/hr is what it was per hour in 2004 for me

[rapid merlin]

Where you are is super cool

I love the views

[karmic hemlock]

Yep and here's the real kicker

Even though houses have over doubled in price, that federal minimum wage hasn't changed since 2009!

I was in 1st grade in 2009 bro

[grizzled wing]

i saw the charts, flat static line of wages while everything goes up. cruel and insane world

[rapid merlin]

I’m completely out of the loop for entrepreneur algorithm so I have no idea where everyone’s moving to atm

[grizzled wing]

Jake is young, wow

[karmic hemlock]

I feel 35 though

[rapid merlin]

Wait I can’t math

How old is Jake 😂

[karmic hemlock]

21 going on 22 in march

[rapid merlin]

Shiiiish

[grizzled wing]

young one

a young hacking turtle

[karmic hemlock]

Anyway I gotta go clock back in to my legal slave labor

Maybe if I'm lucky my check for the last 2 weeks will be over $500

[grizzled wing]

[eager marsh]

Helping my parrents with this bug bounty shit

[rapid merlin]

Parents ?

What

Your parents do cyber ?

I’m baffled

[eager marsh]

No I donated my bug bounty money to my parrents

[rapid merlin]

Oh

[grizzled wing]

ohh, what a kind Vader

makes up for the death of a planet (1x star wars joke per week)

[eager marsh]

Everyone gets one

[rapid merlin]

so sweet from you

[grizzled wing]

what bug did you find Vader? (basics no details)

[rapid merlin]

Was you doing one on one of those websites

That has all the bugs on them

[eager marsh]

Account Takeover due to weak Oauth Misconfig

[grizzled wing]

wow, great find

so what is the issue with the money? debates on its use?

[eager marsh]

Nah the proceeds were originally gonna go to my parrents

That’s why I started doing bb in the first place

Sometimes they’re very insistent on me keeping it

[grizzled wing]

aww

you want to help but they insist on you keeping it

[rapid merlin]

do you gain a lot of money with BB?

[eager marsh]

Occasionally

But I plan on graduating to making money on bugcrowd and HackerOne

[rapid merlin]

Yess it's a good choice, keep the good work

[eager marsh]

Right now all I hunt on both is VDPS and I do bug bounty on programs I find

[mellow narwhal]

How are you patient enough to persist with a target?

[sick lance]

VDPS are fun.

[mellow narwhal]

Usually I just test for basic stuff and move on

[rapid merlin]

OK, I wish to become a BB hunter too one day ^^

[mellow narwhal]

Unless I find something interesting

[sturdy pike]

@eager marsh I had a question, do you have any distractions? if yes, then how do you deal with them?

[eager marsh]

You have to really balance yourself

Take breaks

[rapid merlin]

yes I'm in

[eager marsh]

You don’t need to go ultra hard on a target

[true urchin]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/924032518041272380.webp?size=96

[eager marsh]

Sometimes you just gotta stick to the plan

[mellow narwhal]

Oauth misconfiguration seems more advanced on a target to me

Then of course that's just me, it might be basic for someone else

[eager marsh]

Not quite, you just have to understand the diffrent kinds of oauth flows

This chart from portswigger helped me

[mellow narwhal]

Oh thanks! I'll be saving that

[eager marsh]

Hey no problem

[mellow narwhal]

Another thing is finding the right targets. Its not very helpful when HackerOne pulls up shit like Google and Microsoft on top of the list

[eager marsh]

As always portswigger labs help

Take notes lmao

[mellow narwhal]

I haven't looked into portswigger. I guess its time that I do

[sick lance]

I have that for my Web App for Uni.

[eager marsh]

Also if you’re a student and have money to spare enroll in the HTB CBBH path

[rapid merlin]

Thanks! Will take a look over them myself

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @eager marsh (current: #650 - 8)

[sick lance]

Portswigger and THM.

Although, I've already done the content on THM, so this will be interesting.

[eager marsh]

You’ll find that most of the stuff you’ve done on THM carries over

[sturdy pike]

Is THM a good investment too?
(I know it is, but between the two, what's better?)

[sick lance]

Yeah, I've done some of portswigger really easily due to THM and what I already knew.

[eager marsh]

I would say start with THM, and graduate to HTB once you feel you’re ready

If THM is kindergarten, HTB is World War 2

[rapid merlin]

I think is best to start with thm, I have a htb account too, but thm is more user friendly and great if you're starting out

[sick lance]

That's quite a comparison...

An education level to ... World War 2.

[sturdy pike]

lmao

[sturdy pike]

I've done THM for two years with not much progress, but I get the gist, does that count?

[sturdy pike]

Wait, HTB as in the machines one or the Academy?

[sturdy pike]

I used to study from HTB academy until someone told me THM was good, I shifted to THM because of that

[eager marsh]

It’s an accurate comparison

[eager marsh]

Hey don’t knock it HTB academy is pretty darn good

[cloud quiver]

You can't go wrong with either of them , maybe THM is better if you're on beginning of your journey 🙂

[eager marsh]

Oh yeah I’ll agree with you there

[sick lance]

eh, I done some HTB machines.

Ghost and Dante.

Ghost I found suuuuper easy.

And Dante because I knew the creator.

[sturdy pike]

It has topics in depth, or it seems because THM divides theory into tasks, personally I liked it, THM felt good at first

[mellow narwhal]

Can you drop a link for Ghost? I've been trying to get at least one done, but its too hard lol

I'd love to do Dante but I need a pro labs sub, I'll do it sometime in the future

[sturdy pike]

I mean it's been a couple of years since I started using THM,with not much success, I had to restart multiple times which made me feel like I did no progress

[sick lance]

Not off by hand.

I don't do HTB anymore.

[rugged kayak]

why not

[cloud quiver]

wdym by not much success ?

[rapid merlin]

I don't really do htb 😅 just have the account, and had another one while I was student .. and forgot to change the mail and I lost my student credentials and the account 🙃
For now I just stay on thm, try and study s much as I can and some other resources for some certs :) do some side projects

[mellow narwhal]

I see

Tbh, THM should start making their own official certifications

After all, being one of the major contenders in cybersecurity education, it would be a good idea. Just like how HTB does

[rapid merlin]

Going to check out the python rooms on thm :D take care guys & gals 🤭

uhoh

[sick lance]

They are.

[sick lance]

No time.

[sturdy pike]

There's an underlying issue that, first, I give in to my distractions because of the confusion which is caused by constant change in my plans because of the advice I take from people and then I have to go take advice again to clear out my confusion but instead I get more confused, I have my own plan on how I'm going to do stuff but I always have to kinda postpone it because of the reason above and I don't get much done in the meantime. I know it's bad but whenever I cut off my distractions, a peer or a friend or a colleague does that and invites me or I can't connect with them after that. It's a spiral really

[rapid merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-sunset-javgag-gif-6354990519690233079

[sturdy pike]

So you do use other sources aside from THM for certs? Like even if the topic is the same?

[sick lance]

THM will have certifications, first one is coming up soon

[cloud quiver]

Consistency and discipline are very important , you need to develop them regardless of career path 🙂 .

[sturdy pike]

I think... I understand what you mean, not the surface meaning but the deep one that I've made/understood/reflected upon, thanks!

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @cloud quiver (current: #2 - 2533)

[cloud quiver]

If you're looking for a career advice try to ask guys in #cyber-and-careers channel 😄

[sturdy pike]

Thanks but I've already asked them before and I've started executing the plan i have for it, discipline will take 21 "perfect" days it seems

[rapid merlin]

yes, I read from cisco sometimes and lately i was considering to get some certs this year, so redaing some books and from the offical documentation available online

[mellow narwhal]

Great to know!

@devout palm Was this there for you too?

Not sure if it qualifies for that letter

Yeah it won't. Seems only P1 through P4 are. Oh well

[rapid merlin]

Any mods active for the discord token? Dont feel safe posting it in a text channel.

[sand trench]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[knotty pendant]

Yeahhhhh

[opaque flax]

Are you trying to verify?

[rapid merlin]

Yes.

[sinful moon]

You can DM the bot for it

[rapid merlin]

Yeah, I just seen that and sent it to him.

[opaque flax]

If you do / verify it doesn’t show anyone anything

It’s a private message only you can see

[sinful moon]

but yeah the modern system doesn’t even allow it to be sent publicly

[rapid merlin]

well it being discord, I don't feel safe.

[opaque flax]

What don’t you feel safe about?

[rapid merlin]

discord commands fail alll the time

[opaque flax]

What do you think is going to happen with that token specifically

The token you’re using to verify isn’t your discord authentication token

[rapid merlin]

Then what is it?

[sinful moon]

It’s just to link your THM to Discord

[rapid merlin]

Ahhhh.

Okay.

[sinful moon]

the absolute worst case is someone else links their account, you complain to mods and get it back

That is very uncommon but “help I don’t have my old discord account that I linked to” is a very common mod request so they more than have the capability

[opaque flax]

Yeah the token is just so the bot knows what thm account to link your discord to

[naive violet]

Just a primary key in a database

[rapid merlin]

Sending it to the bot didn't work anyways.

[naive violet]

I mean, it's worked now

[rapid merlin]

Had to post it here.

[sick lance]

Did you choose the right bot?

[rapid merlin]

Yes.

@sharp citrus

[sinful moon]

I was potentially thinking of how it used to work prior to the integration of proper slash commands. Idk it’s been four years since I’ve done so myself lol

I usually just send the how to doc lol

[naive violet]

Yea it was just DM the bot

[sand trench]

YAWN

[rapid merlin]

go 2 bed

[sand trench]

no you

[rapid merlin]

I'm going to do all the free lessons/machines then subscribe. Probably won't even take me a day.

[sinful moon]

There’s significantly more than you think, not all free rooms are in the paths

[naive violet]

There's a LOT of free content

[sand trench]

hahahahahahaa good luck there

[naive violet]

Like, hundreds

[sick lance]

60% of THM is free.

[opaque flax]

Hundreds of free rooms!

[sand trench]

not saying it is impossible just you probably need closer to a month

[sinful moon]

Do the room search and filter by free rooms

[sand trench]

but enjoy the enthusiasm

[naive violet]

IMO this is somewhere the site really falls down
It's unclear that there's more for free, which like... I get. Doesn't bring them income.

[rapid merlin]

There's that many free ones?

[naive violet]

Yeah

[sand trench]

yuups

[rapid merlin]

Niceeee

I love noob challenges. Help refreshen my memory.

[rugged kayak]

there are over 500 free rooms

[rapid merlin]

I haven't done any pentesting since like 2005 and before.

[sand trench]

some of the free rooms are definintely not easy

[rapid merlin]

Back when hellbound and hackthis site were kings.

[sinful moon]

Hah, I too got into THM to refresh my 00s era skills once I finally landed an IT job

[opaque flax]

Are you guys working on a way to present the free ones easier to non paid people?

[rapid merlin]

Wow. They are both still going also.

[opaque flax]

The search function is kinda hidden

[rapid merlin]

@sinful moon Exactly what I'm doing.

[naive violet]

I don't work for THM

[opaque flax]

Oh lol

[naive violet]

Yeah... I'm a pentester

[opaque flax]

That’s right

[grizzled wing]

i missed a great thread

[opaque flax]

I remember the other day

[sinful moon]

Awesome, here’s another great resource to keep in mind: https://book.hacktricks.wiki/en/index.html

[opaque flax]

Where that guy wanted you to prove you’re a hacker

[grizzled wing]

yesterday that was funny

it was about logs

[opaque flax]

The postmastes api scene in Mr robot seeming more realistic after the McDonald’s video

[opaque flax]

lol it was just logs. You know the logs app

[grizzled wing]

i was thinking Luigi is scared about discord token, meanwhile ....

[grizzled wing]

his buddy told him about put some code in his logs and wait for instructions , not sus at all

[rapid merlin]

when people think a movie/show should be absolutely realistic.

[opaque flax]

Yeah I asked him like 3 times which logs

Which app

[rapid merlin]

[opaque flax]

And he just said “the logs bruh”

Or something

[naive violet]

So it depends on the type of show, right?
Something like Mr Robot clearly tries so hard in many places

[grizzled wing]

Mr Robot truly tried to be as real as they could in network studio limitations

[silver sky]

https://tenor.com/view/no-names-hackers-gif-6059552

[rapid merlin]

Didn't they hire real blackhaters for scenes like that?

[naive violet]

Probably not blackhats?

[opaque flax]

No they had consultants lol

[naive violet]

Probably just pentesters?

[sand trench]

personally liked mr robot

[sinful moon]

Monitor the logs closely 👀

[grizzled wing]

spoiler, Mr Robot scenes are really flash videos playing

[opaque flax]

OH THATS WHERE THE EXPLOIT IS

[sinful moon]

indeed

[silver sky]

Spoiler, we know

[grizzled wing]

yeap

[opaque flax]

I found it that’s the exploit right there

[silver sky]

rami malek did not learn metasploit

[opaque flax]

He was too lazy to

Damn lazy actors

[rapid merlin]

I had someone tell me on discord he could "take you out with one line of code"

[sinful moon]

lol

[grizzled wing]

rami walks into a bar ...
5 minutes later he pwnd it

[silver sky]

Yeah so can I! It's the shutdown command!

[sinful moon]

To be fair, even that would take initial access

[rapid merlin]

unrealistic or not, mr robot is an amazing show. loved the fight club vibe.

[sinful moon]

Mhmm, although I stopped watching in the later seasons. But yeah pretty decent for sure

[sand trench]

well most programming languages let you write the entire program on a single line if you want to

[grizzled wing]

curious, why did you choose username @rapid merlin ?

[sinful moon]

First season is kind of perfection though

[sand trench]

just please don't

[silver sky]

Not if I'm in your walls.

[sinful moon]

really veggies?

[naive violet]

Let's not do this here.

[grizzled wing]

ok

put a 📌 in that

[rapid merlin]

Because it's my name

[opaque flax]

That explains it

[sinful moon]

lol nice dodge

[grizzled wing]

[rapid merlin]

You gonna know tho

[grizzled wing]

plumbing is your specialty

[opaque flax]

Hmmm

No doesn’t ring a bell

[sinful moon]

lol this is painful, lets be back to hacking chat tho

[sinful moon]

Have you seen the obfuscated c challenge?

[grizzled wing]

XSS is a bit xessive ?

[spice salmon]

got an random invite from this server. acc made today. should i reply to it? is it safe to message an acc?

[sinful moon]

where it’s code as art?

[opaque flax]

A random invite from what

[silver sky]

Report to server mods and ignore

[spice salmon]

a user

[opaque flax]

And no don’t click on invites you don’t recognize

[naive violet]

It'll be a compromised account most likely

[grizzled wing]

white background ascii art is not cool

[silver sky]

It's like an unsolicited caller. Don't answer the door. Always use a window

[grizzled wing]

it could be Mr White, he is the one who knocks

[sinful moon]

I mean it was c code and only happened to be formatted as ascii art

my embed just failed

[grizzled wing]

oh

[silver sky]

I grew up poor so we never answered the door just in case it was a debt collector

[split compass]

Decided to do a few of the AoC2024s today.
Oh jeez, I don't think there's supposed to be IDOR there. ^_^;
Carrying on 😛

[silver sky]

[sinful moon]

I don’t know if that actually won, but International Obfuscated C Code Contest is very interesting

[sand trench]

not sure which you are refering to

[grizzled wing]

oh a contest

iOCCCCCCC

[sinful moon]

I only said it three times, yes lol

[split compass]

Wait, is that Semi Annual as in once every two years? Or twice in a year?

[grizzled wing]

you say many things that go over my head

[sinful moon]

lol I think that’s a creative way of saying “whenever they get around to it”

[neat belfry]

yo wsp yall

how do i join the vc

[grizzled wing]

i thought you were kind of talking about the nature of code creative coding

[split compass]

Sadly, "semi-annual" has come to mean both twice a year, and every two years. 😦

[lavish wolf]

Hi! I have a question about this. What title are they refering too? It's in the network service path and is about telnet.

[rapid merlin]

I'd never have thought it meant 2 yearly

[grizzled wing]

#room-help

[sinful moon]

#room-help and actually specify the room lol

[spice salmon]

#room-help

[sinful moon]

We are sadly not wizards who remember every single THM room under the sun

[grizzled wing]

0xPathfinder find the channel path

[split compass]

Yeah, I don't think it was supposed to ever mean that, but then it got used that way enough times that we must now verify. 😢

[crude stump]

They literally got contests for everything

[sinful moon]

To be fair this has been going since 1984

[crude stump]

Oh that’s actually quite old

“That’s not old”

[sinful moon]

goes hand in hand with the rise of esoteric programming languages

which are intentionally obtuse

[split compass]

Older than me, so I'll stick with that's not old 😄

[grizzled wing]

1984

[sinful moon]

Yeah I’m old but for once in this channel I can say I’m not that old lol

[split compass]

MOFA?

[grizzled wing]

BOFA?

[rapid merlin]

age is but a number

[sinful moon]

I mean you’re not wrong

[neat belfry]

true and false

[grizzled wing]

my age is a floating point type

[sand trench]

though shadow remembers this netowrk service room

[neat belfry]

how old are u?

[sinful moon]

I just often get dunked on here and elsewhere for being one of the grizzled ancients

[crude stump]

What’s the point of making more levels in thm

[grizzled wing]

for fun

[sinful moon]

old enough

[crude stump]

[neat belfry]

r u above 30?

[sinful moon]

yes lol

[neat belfry]

DAMN U UNC

[crude stump]

Unc is crazy

[sinful moon]

What’s UNC lol

[crude stump]

Uncle

[sinful moon]

UAC is the corporation in Doom

[crude stump]

Lmao

[sinful moon]

nah, I’d be an aunt

[neat belfry]

its like slang for an old person, like out of respect we call old people unc

[grizzled wing]

that is stupid unc when uncle is 2 more letter

[rapid merlin]

learning doesn't stop at any age

[sand trench]

UAC == user account control
i.e what windows uses

[neat belfry]

yea i mean unc

[sand trench]

can you count???

[grizzled wing]

haha yes

[pseudo scroll]

[grizzled wing]

Krax is bax

[neat belfry]

so like if i were to say wsp to my age mate id say wsg bro but if i were to say wsp to an old person above 30 i'd say wsg unc

[sinful moon]

that’s even more unintelligible than before lol

[grizzled wing]

wsg? word salad garden?

[neat belfry]

?

[sand trench]

shadow is getting close to 30 years old

[crude stump]

Are you talking about rooms

[grizzled wing]

age comes with things hurting

[neat belfry]

wdym

[sand trench]

not gonna elaborate on why but yeah

[grizzled wing]

what is wsg

[sinful moon]

you use too many acronyms that are not in common usage

[neat belfry]

wsg = what's good = wussgood = wazza = wussup = whats poppin

[sinful moon]

so it’s hilarious that was supposed to be a clarifying statement

[rapid merlin]

always recommend cod liver oil, think this has help in this area

Hmm, you mean levels as in H4CK3R, L3G3ND etc?

[grizzled wing]

you want hitler picture to verify?

[neat belfry]

saying sup is kinda cringe

[sand trench]

acronyms == things like brb

i.e shortend words into a few letters

@lusty patrol Please change your profile picture, we have a zero tolerance policy towards that here.
If you don't within the next 30 minutes, you will likely be permanently removed from the discord

[split compass]

Why is abbreviation such a long word? 😄

[sand trench]

yeah due to programming nature shadow uses double equal signs

[lusty patrol]

Why?

[neat belfry]

yea their not js acronyms, their slang, like genz slang, like for example if a 30 yr old and above were to say the sentence; you're smoking weed, they'd say; 'you're smoking weed' but if a 16 yr old were to say the same sentence, they'd say; you hittin zaza or u be hittin za or u hittin the za

[naive violet]

We have a zero tolerance policy towards Hitler profile pictures, iconography etc.
This is under our rules which you agreed to.

[neat belfry]

nah wassup aint cringe, sup is cringe

[pseudo scroll]

U from Turkey?

[lusty patrol]

Oh ok

[sinful moon]

lol it’s a constant cycle, the kids are too young to remember the memes that had become cringe

[neat belfry]

freedom of speech tho?

[lusty patrol]

Why you asking

[neat belfry]

first amendment

[neat belfry]

why can't i exercise it here

[sand trench]

does not apply in places like this

[grizzled wing]

does not apply to discord

[split compass]

I do like the == method of defining equality over = because even in written language, you can say something is equal as an assignment, or as a comparison.

xkcd: Free Speech

I can't remember where I heard this, but someone once said that defending a position by citing free speech is sort of the ultimate concession; you're saying that the most compelling thing you can say for your position is that it's not literally illegal to express.

[sinful moon]

Yeah I use == all the time just in common chat speak

It’s much more clear

[rapid merlin]

think it's not an issue of free speech, it's the don't be a d**k rule

[sand trench]

good old xkcd comic for this purpose

[grizzled wing]

if being cheeky, truthy if topic is on javascript

[naive violet]

Firstly, that's freedom from the American government from compelling you to speak or from preventing you from speaking. This isn't America.
Secondly, it's not you, that's someone else.
Thirdly, "freedom of speech" isn't just something you can say when you don't like the rules somewhere. If you don't like the rules, you can leave.

Finally freedom of speech doesn't cover hate speech

[neat belfry]

then their censoring people then, how can u not allow someone to freely express his views or opinons on a given matter

[grizzled wing]

dude. read the room

[split compass]

Freedom of speech, and freedom of expression vary depending on where you are.
Further the concept of freedom of speech is such that a government granting a freedom of speech/expression definition will not charge you criminally for your choices in speech or expression.

There is no requirement for private entities or individuals to grant you the same lenience in their private spaces; as that would be a restriction on THEIR freedoms.

[naive violet]

Firstly, *they're
Secondly, not the place for that kind of nonsense

[neat belfry]

hate speach is something else, im not talkin abt tht

[naive violet]

You agreed to follow the rules when you joined

If you don't like them or don't want to follow them, you can leave
That's how the world works

You're not compelled to be here, that'd be a violation of freedom of speech too
Compelled speech is a violation of the first amendment

Also we're very much not the american government

[split compass]

Fun fact about hate speech, the one saying the words isn't the one who gets to define whether or not it is hateful.

[neat belfry]

but hey i aint challenging no rules or anything im js pointing it out, i will follow the server rules cuz i agreed to it, i aint tryna be turkey, but like im js saying, it would be much better if people could express their views much better without censoring what they can or cannot say

[sinful moon]

god this is funny

[naive violet]

...what?
The rules are here so that everyone plays nicely.

[rapid merlin]

It's not difficult to not be mean to ppl, you generally have to think about being hurtful

[naive violet]

If you want to be an edgy child, you can do it elsewhere. Plenty of spaces where you can say whatever.

[split compass]

Anyone who espouses intolerance of others' existence as a view, deserves neither a platform, nor peace.

[neat belfry]

how am i being an edgy child lol

[naive violet]

You can "express your views" to the extent that the rules allow

[jolly aspen]

🍿

[sinful moon]

It’s not hard to play nice and not be offensive on discord. Generally that’s all that’s required 99% of the time

[naive violet]

What is it that you want to say that's against the rules here? What's being censored?

[rugged kayak]

my guy you aint expressing nazism anywhere

[sand trench]

leaving this to ninja james to sort out now

shadow already explained their stance

[sinful moon]

I’ll just say it’s very poor taste to stand up for the nazi and leave it at that

[neat belfry]

wow wtf

[neat belfry]

nah u putting words in my mouth, since when did i support nazis

HUH

😭

[sinful moon]

Why did you stand up for that sentiment then?

what got this conversation started

[neat belfry]

sentiment? whats tht?

[sinful moon]

idea or concept

[jolly aspen]

You brought up censorship in relation to someone’s hitler pfp, if that’s not what you meant then it was very unfortunate timing

[grizzled wing]

i pointed out Lin's picture --> you commented on the freedom of picture ==> 🧵

[naive violet]

They do have free speech, they have the freedom to do that.
They don't have the freedom to remain here for it, we do not have to stand for their nonsense.

[jolly aspen]

Mornin’ world

[quick plank]

morning

[naive violet]

On a completely unrelated note, anyone built anything cool lately?

[thin hound]

Bro I just opened the chat what is happening

[grizzled wing]

congrats on your new level 🎉

[jolly aspen]

I don’t suggest doing thm for 30hr straight

[sinful moon]

Nah mostly just surviving lol

[sand trench]

blu ray collection of some rare anime movies... does that count???

[gritty fern]

Ive been trying to make a shell in rust

[split compass]

At least not as a regular occurence 😄

[neat belfry]

nah thts not what i meant, i wasnt standing up for hitler or anything, my moms jewish-american

[sinful moon]

Okay fair I’ve been doing that too lol

[sand trench]

alternatively shadow has made some vial-qmk pull requests

[loud marlin]

if some wish to watch tv serries about prime numbers some nice secret. Prime Target

[jolly aspen]

That’s not a non sequitur my friend

[neat belfry]

non sequitur?

[grizzled wing]

did your blue ray set come in?

[naive violet]

Let's all stop with that discussion

[pseudo scroll]

Looks like rankings changed, right?

[naive violet]

It went nowhere

[sand trench]

yuups

[naive violet]

Yep, see #announcements

More on the end and some renaming

[sinful moon]

Yeah that’s one of the best changes THM has made in quite some time

[sand trench]

only have a single issue with it... it lacks the special movie released in 2013... which shadow never got to watch but eh

[sinful moon]

actually a reason to motiviate me to grind more rooms again

[neat belfry]

ok

[lusty patrol]

Yeah, tho that was a good show 🤣

[sinful moon]

although it would be nice to have more role colors here

[naive violet]

Still waiting by the way, you will be banned from the discord if you don't change it

[thin hound]

Bro really wants a ban

[grizzled wing]

thats a bummer after all of the ordeal and price

[lusty patrol]

Y'all kiddoos

[sinful moon]

Welp guessing they’ll be gone soon lol

[grizzled wing]

yea

[lusty patrol]

30 mins what you gave me?

[thin hound]

You are 12 who are you calling kiddos

[sand trench]

well it is not a super big issue but yeah... found some sellers on ebay that have said special from 2013 that shadow can order

[naive violet]

Yep, that was a reminder

[sinful moon]

Anyways blu-ray wise I have Spinal Tap arriving on Monday, so that’s nice

[lusty patrol]

🙃

[naive violet]

@thin hound Hey, that's unkind and unhelpful

[neat belfry]

btw i gotta question, can i advertise a discord bot i coded by myself?

[grizzled wing]

glad there is a positive thread to the story

[naive violet]

We do not allow advertising, this was in the rules you agreed to

[sinful moon]

Self promotion is generally frowned on in a majority of discords. Some may have an expicit channel for such. But yep

[neat belfry]

bruhhh, ok thts fair mb

[lusty patrol]

Who dafuq reads those rules man

[split compass]

Oh DANG, that's a lot of new ranks for me to work through.

[grizzled wing]

hackers read stuff

[opaque flax]

I can’t read :/

[naive violet]

You should really read the things you agree to...
How else would you know what you agreed to?

[gritty fern]

Me

[rapid merlin]

most ppl don't need to

[grizzled wing]

sorry to hear

[neat belfry]

bro cuz ive been goin thru server to server askin onwers if they wanna use my bot and they all said no or they dont got money for it

[opaque flax]

Thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @grizzled wing (current: #57 - 145)

[sinful moon]

imagine wanting to get into pentesting and not reading rules enough, as if scope isn’t important and more

[rapid merlin]

Who here knows a lot about bug bounty programs

[gritty fern]

What are you talking about lol

[grim sparrow]

:hammer: kamalinka048453#0 has been banned.

[gritty fern]

W mods

[rapid merlin]

Oops

[naive violet]

What an edgelord.

[thin hound]

He’s just a kid probably

[sinful moon]

I am not extremely experienced, but HackerOne is a great place to get started

[neat belfry]

wooow what happened

[gritty fern]

Likely yeah

[cloud quiver]

Maybe these guys #bug-bounty 🙂

[rapid merlin]

I’m on there and that’s what my question is about 😅

[split compass]

I like Wendell's solution to EULAs.
While doing things on video/stream, before clicking just loudly exclaim, Oh, I guess I have to click accept on this, even though I have no idea what it says and I've been drinking heavily. I'm so intoxicated right now. X'D

[neat belfry]

what happened

[naive violet]

Not much of an excuse, even children can behave appropriately

[rapid merlin]

Oh nice we have a channel

[naive violet]

Control F for the dollar signs

[thin hound]

I know it’s not an excuse but I hope he will grow out of that

[split compass]

I haven't looked at it recently, do you know if anyone has been maintaining EULAlyzer?

[neat belfry]

also guys does anyone know what the basic url for a claude ai api key is?

[rapid merlin]

Did you hear about how they are going to stop making blurays?

[sand trench]

hmmmmm to wait until payday next month or to buy the missing blu ray now

[sand trench]

whom???

[rapid merlin]

Sony. Who else.

[naive violet]

Not heard of that, but I like the Mozilla Foundation Ts&Cs tool

[loud marlin]

@boreal scarab making new room lighting =/

[grizzled wing]

i hope not! but i can see it happening

[sinful moon]

That is not true, it is only recordable Blu-rays from Sony

[grizzled wing]

ah

[naive violet]

Man I remember when blu-rays were the next backup medium

[rapid merlin]

treat yourself

[dark frost]

look very cool

[rapid merlin]

They are going to stop making blank blurays.

[sinful moon]

Only Sony

[split compass]

EULAlyzer is from the early days of web 2, if not sooner.
Just highlighted clauses that seemed unusual or worthy of note by some metric.
