Can't. Detox

[eternal timber]

How productive of you

I’ll go to the gym tmw

[sick lance]

Simmer down Sephiroth.

[jade wing]

Can’t even have a blue buff anymore without someone coming and stealing it :/

[devout palm]

Wow

[rapid merlin]

exelent , nice start 😉

[devout palm]

I just lay down on the bed

[sick lance]

Got Uni to go to, AI classes start today.

[eternal timber]

You have AI classes?

[jade wing]

No but I am officially going to bed, night my dudes and dudets and everything between 😘

[eternal timber]

Man

Wish I could take those

[devout palm]

Good night Mr quantum genius

[spice salmon]

stream it for us

[eternal timber]

I’m just reading 50 different books rn

[sick lance]

I can't.

[eternal timber]

Gn not nonbinary

[sick lance]

Something something copyright.

[spice salmon]

.... copyright.....

[spice salmon]

You cant go to sleep. my clock says 9am in the morning

[eternal timber]

Anyone here familiar with RBF kernels?

[sick lance]

Yeah, my lecturers have copyrighted their slides.

[sick lance]

Just ask

[eternal timber]

Do you use higher p values than 2 in the p-norm for when we have more than two features?

[devout palm]

Is it for AI?

[eternal timber]

Also the way this source explains it doesn’t make sense. If you could map the whole thing to a higher dimensional space to get some circumference, why not just use some point as a landmark and just take the neighborhood around that point

[eternal timber]

Yeah, it’s for Support Vector Machines

[eternal timber]

Maybe he explains it later but it’s not making sense rn

Oh I see. Apparently it comes in handy when you do regularization

[willow jungle]

Can someone help me with binaryninja, it crashed when I uploaded 'ff' file from AoC Side Quest T1

[main meadow]

has anyone figured out a simple way to activate the THM VPN connection automatically when kali linux starts?

[sick lance]

#room-help

[sick lance]

For troubleshooting purposes, this isn't a good idea.

[willow jungle]

ok

[sick lance]

However just do what I do, and leave it running 24/7

[spice salmon]

how can i know the challenge "easy" is possible for me. just try and error or are there some tips what knowledge i need to complete a challenge? 🙂

[naive violet]

That's the trick with it being a challenge

You go in without knowledge and learn knowledge as you work on them

[true vault]

Bruh I just tried to log in and my account is just...gone

[spice salmon]

ok i think i will give me a bit more time and try a challenge later. my skillmatrix still looks a bit thin

[true vault]

The email is just a new account

Lmao

[naive violet]

Contact [e-mail]

[true vault]

Yeah nah done with this platform I think.

[blazing granite]

nobody knows 100% of the things, so some fundamental knowledge will help you to guess what you don't know or figure it out where to learn it

[true vault]

Streaks deleted like 5 times

Account just gone now

[true vault]

Time to move on take it easy people

[pine stratus]

do they actually teach you some real life scenarios such as pentest?

[true vault]

Yeah not your fault dude

Glhf

[naive violet]

They all contribute to your methodology

The more technology you see, the less unfamiliar they'll be

You can draw parallels where things are similar

[placid bridge]

HTB soc course or THM soc course?

[sick lance]

Whatever you want. 😄

[sick lance]

Did you use Google sign on?

[placid bridge]

i mean which one is better lol

[sick lance]

Whatever one gives you the most skills and knowledge.

[spice salmon]

i saw people team up on try hack me for Challenges
is a "hard,insane" Challenge more for teams ?

[sick lance]

The can be done solo or in teams.

[blazing granite]

I think is more a knowledge level

[spice salmon]

ok thanks

i dont wanna rang up i like my Name in orange 😂

[drowsy holly]

Hello! Do you exercise every day? And if so, how many hours?

[zealous gull]

Hi guys

[blazing granite]

https://tenor.com/view/elias-test-orange-orange-dance-gif-13609786

[spice salmon]

right know 2-4h every day

[rapid merlin]

I think that before you can take on challenges, you first need to have a good grounding in the various techniques

[sick lance]

6 days a week, 5km run with a 55-95 minute workout.

[rapid merlin]

it depends, 8 hours, 6 wbu ?

[sick lance]

Don't know why you're all laughing?

It's true...

[spice salmon]

onePunchMan would be proud

[blazing granite]

Respect. I barely run to catch the bus 😂

[spice salmon]

i roll like sonic.. joking i am slim

[rapid merlin]

we have to compet together lol

[zealous gull]

I guess you’re a good runner

[sick lance]

I compete in Hyrox and OCR.

[true vault]

Nah

[drowsy holly]

I consider myself a very beginner.. And I went to do a challenge and it gave me "hard". I can't solve this with anything.

[true vault]

Shot support an email since I had like...9 more months of premium lol

[spice salmon]

i have a Car 😄 dont need the bus sry bud

[sick lance]

What's your username?

[rapid merlin]

[sick lance]

[spice salmon]

[blazing granite]

I got driven everywhere but sometime you need buses 🙂

[true vault]

Super weird

[astral summit]

Hi

[zealous gull]

Hi

[sick lance]

Do you know the password?

[rapid merlin]

take buses is cheaper than driving your own car

[spice salmon]

its a good plan b to run if the hacking goes wrong. right?

[sick lance]

Not at all.

[astral summit]

U made pico ducky?

[sick lance]

I won't be a pro athlete.

[true vault]

Yes.

[spice salmon]

[sick lance]

[astral summit]

Ohk

[wooden totem]

whats with the random warn I got, I didn't even send a message today

[rapid merlin]

By the bot?

[wooden totem]

Ye

[rapid merlin]

It muted me the other day too for just chatting

Also it didn’t get prompted when I said thanks to someone

[wooden totem]

Thats autobot though, it gets triggered with unverified users. I got a warn with context, but like a nothing-burger

[rapid merlin]

Huh 🤔

Weird

[mossy river]

It was about your overall behaviour in the community and comments you’ve made previously.

[tall monolith]

Hi, I am actively looking for CTF players if you are interested in joining the team dm me *Team name = Imp3rator*

[rapid merlin]

I need to go out and get milk but I don’t want to go out

[shell nova]

Shouldn't, though the bot gets ornery when you repeat the same thing a few times in a row

[rapid merlin]

Morning everyone

[fervent ruin]

Hello

Is it worth to use the certificates on my cv ?

Do companies care about it

I already have 2 🙂 and getting more

[cloud quiver]

If you're thiniking about THM certs. , not really 😦 . They don't really have any value on job market yet .

[fervent ruin]

Ok thank you

[cloud quiver]

But you can still put them in your CV , it probably won't harm anything 😄

[fervent ruin]

I thought maybe they know what is thm , and know what people learn there

[fervent ruin]

Yes

[rapid merlin]

what about HTB ones ?

[cloud quiver]

HTB provides certification , THM should introduce it also very soon 😄 .

certificate != certification

[rapid merlin]

The HTB are accredited, so yes.

ok thanks 🙂

[fervent ruin]

Whats the difference ?

[rapid merlin]

Certification usually means that a standards body over looks the awarding of the certification

[mossy river]

Certificate says you've completed something
Certification certifies you have the knowledge of xyz topic

[cloud quiver]

Well , current THM certificate is just a cert. that you participated in some event/pathway ( cert. of participation ) . They're not proctored / graduated exams like Net+ Sec+ , etc . 🙂

[fervent ruin]

Arent both good ?

[wooden totem]

I see, It would be helpful to know specifically and or at the time when it occurred, I'm not that good at spotting my mistakes

[fervent ruin]

To have

[rapid merlin]

yeah thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @mossy river (current: #6 - 1459)

[cloud quiver]

I would put it in CV since it probably won't harm anything but they're not industry recognized certification although they announced that it will be introduced this year 😄

[rapid merlin]

THM should make their own certifications then 😉

[fervent ruin]

Good

[cloud quiver]

It should come soon 🙂

[rapid merlin]

@rapid merlin I think they are in the process of doing

[rapid merlin]

cool, it's awesome 🙂

[rapid merlin]

I'm excited 🙂

It'll be good to have more competition for OffSec

[cloud quiver]

Well I think should come really soon . As far as I can remember from AMA from reddit in December it should came out somewhere in March/April 😄

[rapid merlin]

good news 🙂

THM and HTB have really shook up security learning. The price point is fantastic when you look at what other platforms charge

yes I agree with you

the price of the OSCP is just eye watering

I don't know how much it is

[rapid merlin]

can I ask you about something

course and exam is $1750

[cloud quiver]

Yeah , why not 🙂 ?

[rapid merlin]

woow I can't pay for that 😄

[rapid merlin]

unless you can get your employer to cover it, it's a lot

[rapid merlin]

I talked to someone on a social media, and without I knew, he recorded our converstation and puted it on his tiktok account and made it as meme, and now I filed a complaint against him, what kind of punishment will he get?

[rapid merlin]

yes it's a lot

[cloud quiver]

Sorry to hear that buddy , but I can't help you with that 😦 . Maybe it's best to try to contact tt support .

[rapid merlin]

yes now he removed the video but he should get a punishment , because he do the same thing with others

[rapid merlin]

I just wanted to know what kind of punishment he will get about doing this act if you know

[cloud quiver]

Maybe you should get in touch with local police/law enforcement

[rapid merlin]

ok, I really want him to pay for what he did

[exotic vector]

All you can really do is contact the social media platform about it unfortunately.

[sick lance]

We can't speculate what punis they receive, if any.

Punishment*

[drifting canopy]

"yay" "nay"? XD

[rapid merlin]

I am so itchy. I think I’m alergic to something

[rapid merlin]

Don't seek revenge, just try to remediate what was done and move on, moving on is the best revenge, be more cautious in the future.

[rapid merlin]

Yes you're right, I just want him to get punished by the law, and that was the last time I opened my camera to someone I don't know

[rapid merlin]

yes I did it, but they still didn't suspend his account

Was it a private conversation.

[rapid merlin]

Sorry to hear this, I might be in the same situation but doing my best not to think k of things, because I tend to do catastrophic, so sometimes it helps not knowing... but yeah I think that person should have their account banned/ suspended but it is what it is

[rapid merlin]

OK, by the way it was the last time I turn on my cam on social medias

[rapid merlin]

wich one ?

The conversation you had with this guy

The one he posted

sorry yes it's private

Yeah I mean like personal

[rapid merlin]

yes thanks, it's fine now !

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @rancid hemlock (current: #415 - 14)

[rapid merlin]

Apparently discord gives notifications when someone’s recording

[upper knoll]

How you doing miss stealth!

[rapid merlin]

yes not here in discord, it was on another site

Ye I’m ok thanks, you?

[upper knoll]

Tired

[rapid merlin]

Ah I see, sucks

[upper knoll]

Little fed up

But okay

[rapid merlin]

Why what’s up

[upper knoll]

Long few days

[rapid merlin]

@rapid merlin I know the horse has bolted, but use it as lesson about opsec with ppl you don't have a close link to

[sick lance]

Yes/no would be too easy to guess.

[drifting canopy]

huess4?

[rapid merlin]

It’s been a long 12 months 😅

[drifting canopy]

u mean guess?

[rapid merlin]

yes it was a lesson to me :/

[rapid merlin]

That's why I have serious trust issues 😅 don't really connect with people online

[drifting canopy]

and whats the differents isnt it the same as "yes" "no"?

[upper knoll]

Yerrrr it really be like that sometimes eh

[drifting canopy]

or is it to protect from bots or smthng

[sick lance]

The number of letters?

[rapid merlin]

haha not at this point :p

[rapid merlin]

Hi didn't know this :)

[drifting canopy]

yeah but what does that make the answer harder

[rapid merlin]

Yeah I was in call once and someone warned me as well

[sick lance]

If the hint is ** then it's obviously no

[drifting canopy]

ohhh i didnt know it had anything to do with the hint

now i get it

thanks @sick lance

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @sick lance (current: #1 - 3311)

[rapid merlin]

Cause someone started recording

[drifting canopy]

damn u hava a crazy lot of reps

[rapid merlin]

Is a settings thing? I'd like to check it

[sick lance]

Streamer mode kicks in.

[rapid merlin]

Suppose a lot has to with the spaces you move in, but yeah, be extra careful online

[rapid merlin]

I’m unsure as someone told me about it, you’ll have to google it

[upper knoll]

Pretty sure it’s standard if it’s somewhere I’d imagine under privacy

[rapid merlin]

Is enabling it what causes the recording message ?

I used to keep mine on streamer mode so people couldn’t spam call me

[rapid merlin]

Yeah, lesson learned, still wouldn't give much info about myself...

Which used to happen often back in the day

People would call me at 3am

[sick lance]

If have streamer mode on it will redact all usernames and stuff

[upper knoll]

Omg that would drive me mad

[rapid merlin]

does anyone knows how that german guy on omegle tracked peoples location on live ?

[rapid merlin]

That sounds messed-up, sorry

[rapid merlin]

Yeah drunk, walking back home. I would be like 🙄 that’s a you problem

[rapid merlin]

we have bsides here in the UK, plus other tech meet ups. They are always good to meet "real" ppl

[rapid merlin]

Thanks, will have a look over my settings

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @upper knoll (current: #371 - 16)

[upper knoll]

Feel free to dm me if you don’t find it I’ll make sure you got it on

[upper knoll]

Sometimes being antisocial works out for me ig

[rapid merlin]

Ah yeah, you have no idea. People would call me at that time to play video games too and I would be like 😐

It used to really annoy me the spam calling

you're not my friend if you are calling me at 3am and it's not an emergency

I think I had a block list of over 300 🤣

[upper knoll]

Omg

[rapid merlin]

Back when I had fb it was like that too

I like sleeping bro

Sleeping just don’t like me

[rapid merlin]

Most likely will dm a little bit later, have to do some chores now, thank you :) I'm also antisocial but sometimes I tend to overshare, working on improving

[upper knoll]

Your fine here to help dms are open for ya

[rapid merlin]

I have a nap every day around 1pm and I couldn't function without it. My boss used to laugh that I'd sleep my lunch hour

[sick lance]

My phone blocks unimportant notifications from 2300-0516

[rapid merlin]

What is that

[upper knoll]

Yer I like that feature icl

[rapid merlin]

I have a parent that is ill, but would love to turn this on

[rapid merlin]

Oversharing is my middle name

[upper knoll]

Idk if scrubz is apple but a couple functions on apple like sleep and focus can do that i know it exists on android

[sick lance]

You. An assign numbers, contacts etc to be notified from

You can

[rapid merlin]

What can I say I enjoy yapping

[rapid merlin]

I didn't think of that, I'll look at that. Thanks

[rapid merlin]

I had the sleep option on my phone too (not using apple) and when i switched to my old discord account I got like 6 phone calls from unknown number

[upper knoll]

If I call my aunt 2-3 times it will notify her no matter the time if there is an emergency for example

[upper knoll]

Ooof

[rapid merlin]

Going to pay a visit to my phone provider and see if I can find out who called

And report the number

All I cam do, I also want to delete the old account

But since it's already hacked I think if I choose the delete option and ppl still get in it won't be deleted

I can’t use the sleep feature or whatever because I’ll forget to turn it off

[upper knoll]

It turns off naturally?

[rapid merlin]

Why

[upper knoll]

You set the times

[rapid merlin]

What *

Every time I’ve accidentally touched that button I’ve missed a call or something

😆

[upper knoll]

Yer I don’t have calls to miss luckily

[rapid merlin]

You can set an interval like from 11pm to 6 am

I’ve been lifting weights every morning and my arm just cracked

And you can choose trusted numbers, and during that time you can only receive calls from the trusted numbers

[upper knoll]

Ouch be careful I’m still recovering from a tiring arm and shoulder day last week Friday

[rapid merlin]

Ohhhh

[rapid merlin]

Everyday I lift in the morning

[upper knoll]

That’s good!

[rapid merlin]

I'm getting to an age where it's more stretching than lifting

[rapid merlin]

That’s fair enough, stretching is good

Speaking of stretching... should stop procrastinating and stretch my way into chores xD see you later

[rapid merlin]

Cyas

[rapid merlin]

don't work too hard

[upper knoll]

Glgl

[spice salmon]

any germans here to connect 🙂 ?

[rapid merlin]

I swear that cat I got has doubled in size

[rapid merlin]

you're looking after her/him well

[shell nova]

Kittens grow fast

[chilly veldt]

It's raining bonkers here

[sick lance]

My kitten just came out season, thank god.

[shell nova]

I think there are a few words missing there

[sick lance]

Just one

Of.

[shell nova]

Or punctuation I dunno, hard to parse that one

[rapid merlin]

lots of squeaking ?

[sick lance]

Nah

It makes sense.

My kitten just came out of season, thank god.

[sick lance]

And sleepless nights.

[rapid merlin]

I feel for you

[mossy river]

We say in heat in my house

[shell nova]

Dunno if you can call it a kitten then

[rapid merlin]

I got my girl neutered, solved a lot of that

[sick lance]

She's still only 6 months.

She gets dressed on Wednesday

[mossy river]

Ohh right

[sick lance]

Yeah, if was her first time

The 6 months for for Hydra...

[rapid merlin]

He’s eating a lot, he’s having three to four sachets of meat a day and biscuit.
He’s got two water bowls and two food bowls

[rapid merlin]

So fast

[rapid merlin]

It made sense to me because I’m cockney

😂

[rapid merlin]

going to have a huge kitty kat

my girl is only tiny, I'd be scared to let her outside

[rapid merlin]

Yeah well I think he may be tall/slim
build when he’s older because his face is mousy

I can’t post pics of him in here until support get back to me

But I can dm you the update

[rapid merlin]

always welcome cat pictures 😄

[rapid merlin]

I’ll send you them

[potent field]

Hi, can someone help me? Im trying to understand steganography and tools like exiftool, binwalk etc.. There is a photo and its a homework for university, there is some metadata or something hidden behind a picture but I can not find anything at all. any ideas? I've been trying to understand this for last 2 days.

[sick lance]

I have a ragdoll, she'd get stolen.

[rapid merlin]

mine is the same, I'd be worried more about her getting injured. She sits in the garden with me, but I won't let her be out on her own

[mossy river]

We can’t help with schoolwork here sorry #rules

I would speak to your teacher if you are stuck

[potent field]

no no its not my homework im not even in the university it is a friend of mine who is learning all that and I was also interested in to understand. im on my own

[rapid merlin]

100%

[mossy river]

Ah, I see. We still won’t be able to help as usually University work has rules with sharing. These restrictions are in-place to prevent any academic misconduct.

If you want to try any TryHackMe steganography rooms, we can provide you advice and understanding based on those tasks:)

[marble meteor]

Hi

[rapid merlin]

@potent field maybe look at discussing it with your friends classmates

[potent field]

okay no problem. can you guide me to rooms on tryhackme that are free? I really whant to understand steganography and exiftool, because I have this photo and the main task is to find hidden text or some kind of data behind it. but I have no clue I used everything that I knew exiftool binwalk decode websites and youtube videos. am I doing something wrong? that's what I wanna know

[mellow gull]

If you received a copy of that photo through a social media site, like Discord, a lot of metadata is usually stripped during the compression process.

[potent field]

Im not even in the university my friend just said that it was her homework and I said hey can you send me that picture too? im interested in to learn about it

[mossy river]

^^ this is an amazing point

[potent field]

thats what I thought because there is literally NOTHING to find

[mossy river]

Ask her to upload it to drive and share the link

[potent field]

she just downloaded photo and sent me on the social media. (facebook)

[mellow gull]

That would definitely explain it.

[mossy river]

Or zip it and share the zip file

[potent field]

yep I thought about it too. I was going crazy because there was nothing to "solve". thank you guys.

[mellow gull]

Glad we could help. People overcomplicate it but metadata, if it exists, is very straightforward and simple to acquire

If you're not finding it with something like exiftool, it probably isn't there.

[mossy river]

I think most of the TryHackMe rooms on Steg were made private, I can't find any.
I would check our John Hammond's videos though -> https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1H1sBF1VAKV6rTEh76pxQKgeFwme5gsT

[potent field]

if there was any side thing to hang on there will be second page while using binwalk right?

[mellow gull]

Yeah if there was anything for you to see there you'd have gotten a lot more from that command.

[potent field]

also English is not my native so sorry about clueless typing ;D

aight thanks guys<3

[shut hawk]

i'd look at aprisolve

[rapid merlin]

@rapid merlin I tried to send you the pictures but it just says sending

[rapid merlin]

sorry I was away from my machine. Just got them

@rapid merlin beautiful

[potent field]

whats that

[mellow gull]

aperi'solve*

It's a website that does a bunch of analysis

[mossy river]

Can we avoid helping please

[mossy river]

[potent field]

oh ye ye with the melon logo right?

[shut hawk]

Oh, sorry Jabba!

[potent field]

I used it also

[mossy river]

No problem:)

[shut hawk]

Just went to gym and knackered 😂

[mellow gull]

I can say no more, I apologize. 😥

[mossy river]

Damn, he finally is on it

[potent field]

ye sorry I already understand about problem anyways. also Its not my homework I used it as a educational purposes only ;D

[rapid merlin]

Yeah he’s a cutie pie

[shut hawk]

My abs feel on fire 😔

great to know how unfit i am xD

[mossy river]

I know:) It's a blanket ban on the whole topic.
It has to be enforced fairly, if we let you we have to let everyone else.

If you find a public example/ CTF we can happily provide support :))

[potent field]

can I ask out of context about this website?

[sick lance]

Give it a few days...

[shut hawk]

i wasn't sure if i was able to drive back home

[mossy river]

Pfft, burning is a good sign. Doesn't mean you're unfit, it means you're actually training the muscles.
What type of training are you doing?

[shut hawk]

cardio mainly

[potent field]

leg day is the most critical in this situation

[shut hawk]

and I think core?

[mossy river]

Better start eating more then 😆
Burn any more calories and we won't be able to see you

[shut hawk]

You have a PT?

[shut hawk]

no, you just have to book up if you want to go

[mossy river]

whaat

[shut hawk]

im not sure if thats normal

[mossy river]

that's irritating

Would not work with my schedule, sometimes I wake up at 3am and just go to the gym

[shut hawk]

oh i stand corrected

[lone thistle]

those 3am sessions hit different

[devout palm]

I think sleeping is healthier xd

[lone thistle]

probably

[shut hawk]

thats only for the ✨ pool ✨

[mossy river]

If only you could see my sleep schedule rn

[devout palm]

If you go gym at 3 am, you are not going there to be healthy

Heart broken?

[rapid merlin]

I was fitting a switch just before Christmas and someone knocked me off the ladder and threw my back. I've never felt so bad

I'm doing lots of stretching

[shut hawk]

i dont think mine is 24hr anyway lmao

[mossy river]

Mine wasn't so I switched

[mellow sky]

is anyone here good with subnetting?

[rapid merlin]

it's just power of 2 mate

subnetting just becomes remembering subnet masks

[misty zealot]

The cyber mentor has a good video on subnetting

[mellow sky]

I understand it I think, but I was wondering how do you find out your network address is it just for example

10.0.4.34 as John's home IPV4 PC ADDRES
SMask: 255.255.255.0

would that mean his home network address is 10.0.4.0?

[rapid merlin]

I'd recommend keith barker, he's an awesome network guy

[cloud quiver]

Yes

[mellow sky]

so using that technically there are only 253 usable addresses, since default gateway, network address and broadcast are all reserved for a /24 network?

[chilly veldt]

yes

[rapid merlin]

technically you can use the network address, but convension says you shouldn't

[cloud quiver]

Yeah , network and broadcast address are reservered and can't be used 🙂

Those're 1st and last in subnet 🙂

[mellow sky]

but you can use the default gateway?

or you can't*

[rapid merlin]

network can be used, but it really shouldn't

[chilly veldt]

the default gateway is just a random ip on the subnet

can be .1, can be 254, can be 199

[mellow sky]

or if you disabled the default gateway would that prevent the router from reaching the outside web?

[chilly veldt]

no

[cloud quiver]

It won't

[mellow sky]

right got it

[chilly veldt]

default gateway is the ip that tells computers where the router is

[rapid merlin]

you'd be running a BGP no default router in that instance. It would have to hold the internet routing table

[mellow sky]

so it forwards all it's traffic to the default gateway, which then sends it to Amazon for example?

[cloud quiver]

Yeah although not directly there're many hops in between 🙂

[mellow sky]

oh

[mellow sky]

yeah

[chilly veldt]

gotta love my laptop sounding like an airplane as soon as I open android studio

[mellow sky]

and in terms of class A B C networks does that simply just refer to the subnet mask?

with 10 or 192 to display what type of network class it is in the ipv4?

[rapid merlin]

@mellow sky you have to remember when you send a packet it's not just the next hop, it's also that the end router knows how to route back to you

[cloud quiver]

No , there're specific ranges that are private 🙂

[rapid merlin]

rfc 1918

[mellow sky]

it has the source address right

[chilly veldt]

https://www.meridianoutpost.com/resources/articles/IP-classes.php

[rapid merlin]

exactly, L2 is stripped at the next hop and they will add the L2 of the next hop from them, but it's all dependent on knowing how to get back

[mellow sky]

so if I send a packet to Amazon's server 48.3.2.129 how does it know to hop to a different address first like for example cloudflare then Amazon or whatever the route is

[rapid merlin]

when you enter the SP there will also be labling, which allows the use of overlapping addressing with customers

[stray tide]

Cloudflare will threaten the packet with legal action if it doesn't hop along somewhere else

[rapid merlin]

I don't really understand your question, I think what your talking about is traffic engineering. That's policy based routing

[mellow sky]

so my question is if for example I want to send a packet to 46.3.2.109 or any external IP, is there any way to track every network (and their IP) that packet goes through first to reach the destination, would it just be through wireshark?

I'm just curious to see how many hops you get then you go to a random big website like Amazon

[cloud quiver]

You can use traceroute cmd

tracert on Windows

[rapid merlin]

traceroute can be a bit misleading, SP will seem as a single hop across the network with MPLS ttl

[rapid merlin]

the education system is become awful

[mossy river]

I asked him questions about the platform and what he thought of it. Asked him if he had any problems with the platform.

At the end I told him who I was and passed his feedback on to the site team

[sick lance]

Positive I hope?

[mossy river]

I don’t think so, I think it was SQL

[near sapphire]

Was he surprised?

[mossy river]

Of course, he had some really good feedback too

[rapid merlin]

good enough for his students

[mossy river]

Yes ahah, I don’t think he expected a uni student to work at the company

[winter escarp]

I just missed my one day because of Exam! And I check mail! TryHackMe did not mail me that time! so I think maybe I submit my daily task! now Its almost gone

[sick lance]

Ah good!

Won't be long, now back to learning about NumPy

[chilly veldt]

I can finally say I have 44 weeks left of my education

[boreal scarab]

I still got my 1 Million shirt 😄

[rapid merlin]

it never ends lol

[mossy river]

The impacts of gamification on cybersecurity

[chilly veldt]

44 weeks left of my 278 week education

aka a little under a year of my 5 year long education

[exotic vector]

very on the nose xD

[mossy river]

I bought all the shirts when TryHackMe first released the merch store. All my shirts are almost completely faded now 😆

[rapid merlin]

that's brilliant. It just seems I'm always studying for a cert to make sure I don't lose my certification

[mossy river]

It’s almost like I couldn’t have a better topic 😆

[chilly veldt]

CPE is a scam

[rapid merlin]

it is and it isn't, most guys that I know that are skilled are always studying

if you don't have an employer paying it's crazy. I also find it crazy that they add VAT to the price of exams in the UK

[real glacier]

Hi everyone !!

I want to become a penetration tester. Which certifications do you think I should get first? As a start

[torn linden]

what about notion?

[sick lance]

Great idea until you don't have a network connection, and can't access your notes.

[stuck otter]

What if i do if the entire room just freezes?

[cloud quiver]

Try to ask these guys for a career/cert advice #cyber-and-careers 🙂

[sick lance]

Ctrl and F5?

[rapid merlin]

I think Obsidian is the best options now, I'm just to long in the tooth to move from emacs org mode

[stuck otter]

Well didnt do anything to the box itself and as expected it just refreshed the main page.

Twice this has happened and quite recently in two different boxes. I think i need to just stop using the thm attack boxes, they are not that reliable it seems.

[real glacier]

ok

[rapid merlin]

get a solid foundation in Windows and Linux

[mellow sky]

has anyone here done OSCP?

[cloud quiver]

You have a Pentest+ path on THM , it may be a good starting point 🙂
https://tryhackme.com/r/path/outline/pentestplus

[chilly veldt]

yeah, but the CPE system is a scam, you can still study and should study, cause things change all the time, but having to make sure that you have studied so much a year to keep something isn't really the best imo

[rapid merlin]

It means that you are at certain level. I'm not a fan of just passing an exam, and never having to prove that you still know the knowledge. Passing a cert 10yrs ago without any verification from them is worthless

don't get me wrong it has turned into a cash grab, my LFCS has gone from 3yrs to 2yrs

Hay... I'm am not able to connect to internet in my attack machine on them website.
Does anyone know how to fix it ?!

[mellow gull]

If you're using the THM attack box, it intentionally does not have internet access.

[mossy river]

Only for free users

Subscribers have access to the internet

[rapid merlin]

Oo okay

[near sapphire]

Anddd lemme guess thm is one of the subjects in ur thesis

[real glacier]

thnks

[mossy river]

Haven’t decided

[near sapphire]

Oh u hvnt started

[mossy river]

I have but I don’t know if I’m analysing any platforms or not

[devout palm]

CTF might be a good topic for that

[sick lance]

I was going to do mine on gamification, until my new supervisor asked me to come in and do their project.

[mossy river]

That was the project my supervisor selected loool

[mossy river]

Problem with doing it on CTF platforms is that it’s not possible to an analysis of how effective the gamification techniques are. I would need to do a survey, which I don’t want to do because my whole project would rely on people filling out the survey

It would be too complicated and volatile

[devout palm]

Well you can statistically sort out how many people attend CTFs on ctftime.org etc.

[mossy river]

That wouldn’t be applicable

I would have to take people from xyz and test half of them on gamification techniques and the other half on non gamified learning

Then I would need to test them again a few months later to see how effective the techniques actually were

So I changed the project to just use existing literature

[strong shale]

Do it with patient

[mossy river]

Hm?

[devout palm]

So how are you gonna prove the effectiveness without data

[strong shale]

Focus on one at the top or timeline

[mossy river]

I’m using existing literature that have already done it

[mossy river]

I don’t understand what you mean 😅

[strong shale]

You said have half people to test and then half people gamified learning so I guess you have to do it one at the time prioritize it @mossy river

[mossy river]

I’m just not doing it

If my results are ineffective or if nobody takes the second survey my diss would have nothing to analyse

[chilly veldt]

[viscid mortar]

Are you in insert mode or command mode?

[spice salmon]

command mode?

i think

[viscid mortar]

Ctrl +shift+v ?

[mellow gull]

Just enter visual mode and press shift+P on where you want to paste the copied output

[spice salmon]

how do i enter visual mode

[mellow gull]

Press esc to return to normal mode, and then v to enter visual mode

[viscid mortar]

Press v

[rapid merlin]

you can do :visual. Recommend vim golf

[spice salmon]

if i do shift +P i get a 1

what is this text programm

[mellow gull]

[rapid merlin]

you need to press escape and go into command mode

Alternatively you can echo the hashes into a file to be extra lazy

[spice salmon]

i never felt so much angry about an program in the past 8 years

[pliant onyx]

You're doing an intense scan, of course it will take time

@shadow quiver add the subnet when you ask for help

[floral hawk]

Ye, but it got to 66.67% and is stuck there... It's just default ports. I removed version intensity, still gets to 66.67% and is stuck..

[pliant onyx]

Google it

Hope google has some answer

[rapid merlin]

did you try masscan for a feel of the box?

[floral hawk]

massscan?

[rapid merlin]

another scanning tool

sorry "masscan"

you're using the -sV flag that can get pretty intensive

[floral hawk]

will have to install it. thanks. I restarded terminal and ran nmap in the meanwhile and it finished. it seems that only reporting was wrong, there is no way it went from 66.67% straight to 100%

But I did the scan succesfully.

[mossy river]

Rustcan then pipe into nmap

[shut hawk]

Rustscan calls nmap automatically iirc

Although I'm guessing if you want custom flags you can

[mossy river]

It does but if you have specific flags you want to use, better to take rustscan's output and pipe it yourself

[mossy river]

smh let me type pfft 😂

[shut hawk]

Read your mind

What format do you pipe it from?

it's fantastic to think that nmap is still the standard with it's age

[mossy river]

nobody can be bothered to write another one /s

[rapid merlin]

lol

[mossy river]

I assume there might be some niche things people want to change but I don't think there's a reason to use another tool tbh

[sick lance]

No point re-inventing the wheel, unless it's a personal project.

What happens if my THM discord token is shared

[rapid merlin]

I have the nmap book on the shelf. Still funny to think that Trinty in the Matrix used it in the opening scene

You don't need to reinvent the wheel yk

Generating phone numbers is quite straightforward.

You can find formats based on their country code and then just use random.randint.

another NSA agent infiltrating kernel dev

funny thing is when the xz backdoor was a thing it affected debian-based distros. Arch wasn't affected cause we aren't important enough lol

[sand trench]

yeah but the arch team still made a news post about it and recommended upgrading or downgrading

Critical rsync security release 3.4.0

2025-01-16

We'd like to raise awareness about the rsync security release version 3.4.0-1 as described in our advisory ASA-202501-1.

An attacker only requires anonymous read access to a vulnerable rsync server, such as a public mirror, to execute arbitrary code on the machine the server is running on. Additionally, attackers can take control of an affected server and read/write arbitrary files of any connected client. Sensitive data can be extracted, such as OpenPGP and SSH keys, and malicious code can be executed by overwriting files such as ~/.bashrc or ~/.popt.

We highly advise anyone who runs an rsync daemon or client prior to version 3.4.0-1 to upgrade and reboot their systems immediately. As Arch Linux mirrors are mostly synchronized using rsync, we highly advise any mirror administrator to act immediately, even though the hosted package files themselves are cryptographically signed.

All infrastructure servers and mirrors maintained by Arch Linux have already been updated.

You read all the 100 some pages?

[rapid merlin]

they aren't all that bad

like all reading, you pick the sections that are relevant

rfc's save paying $$ on books

[opaque flax]

Dude I was reading about how b64 encoding works for exploiting php filter:// the. Iconv and heap and how iconv is exploitable in glibc

I need to go read it again

That’s my brain except it’s always been smooth

I didn’t erase it I was born that way

I had mySO explain heap to me

[rapid merlin]

"100 some pages" that isn't that bad

I try and cover 50 pages in the morning before work

I can’t stop watching it

[blissful snow]

yo

[rapid merlin]

best anime ever

osaka my beloved

@fervent meteor only way to cover the certification topics

I'm doing the ENARSI at the minute

yeah

[inner bloom]

I need help 😨

[inner bloom]

Unknown filesystem (i'm scared)

[rapid merlin]

this is the "I hope I have backups screen"

[inner bloom]

Shit

[blissful snow]

what happened

[mellow sky]

on a network, could you have 192.168.1.0/28 and additionally 192.168.1.16/30 and then 192.168.1.20/30 without them overlapping?

in theory*

[inner bloom]

I was installing vm ware and this happened

[grizzled wing]

pdiddy profile picture?

[mellow sky]

yeah

[blissful snow]

dam

[rapid merlin]

they overlap, but the more specific route is always preferred

[mellow sky]

how do they overlap despite not being within each others ranges?

[quick plank]

it should work

[rapid merlin]

sorry, just seeing /24's today

[quick plank]

/28 has 16 hosts broadcast 15 so net id from /30 is 16

it should work fine

[inner bloom]

I have a pendrive with Kali Linux on it. Should I install it, or try to repair Windows instead?

[mellow sky]

like for example 192.168.1.0/30 goes from 0 to 15 then the next is from 15 to 19 then 20 to 24 right?

[quick plank]

exactly

U just have to configure the routes correctly

[rapid merlin]

all you have to do is take the next bit as the incerment

[mellow sky]

perfect, and if I did then 192.168.1.0/28 then 192.168.1.16/24 that would overlap right?

[knotty pendant]

Cuhcrazy

[quick plank]

yes

/24 is always the whole subnet

[mellow sky]

what happens if they overlap?

[rapid merlin]

/28 would be a subnet of the /24

[knotty pendant]

[quick plank]

the network will not work

[blissful snow]

Me personally I would switch to linux

but its really up to you

linux never crashed on me

[mellow sky]

👍

[quick plank]

What tool do you use Cisco or filius?

some tools dont let you make any errors

[rapid merlin]

I work with Cisco and Juniper, not heard of "filius"

[mellow sky]

how much subnetting knowledge is needed before doing boxes specifically network focused? I'm holding off doing any boxes (I've done it years ago in the past) but getting back into THM and HTB

I can't tell if I'm being overkill

[quick plank]

I just had that in my engeneering school if you dm me I can send you some tasks that test this field pretty well

[sand trench]

subnetting is not very common concern for cyberecurity hacking on thm

*cybersecurity

[rapid merlin]

most starter boxes don't require much networking knowledge

[quick plank]

And you can just use subnet calcs for doing the hardwork if you ever need it

[rapid merlin]

Do the boxess. It's good practice

[mellow sky]

thought so, most stwter boxes are more focused on basic CVEs likely

[rapid merlin]

Boxes tend to link the subjects they cover in their desc. If ur stuck do ur research on that stuff and come back

[rapid merlin]

If you are interested in networking, Keith Barker has free content on youtube. He's awesome

[inner bloom]

Nice choice

[mellow sky]

yeah I'll have a look

thanks

[rapid merlin]

the CCNA is worth getting

[mellow sky]

haha I had a look at it earlier

is it better more for a CV?

along with th expensive

experience**

like OSCP + CCNA would look decent together right?

[sick lance]

Hi, can you please change your pfp?

[rapid merlin]

@mellow sky CCNA isn't too expensive really, but it does look good on the CV

[mellow sky]

true good to OSCP anything is cheap

[rapid merlin]

my company won't cover the cost of the OSCP

[mellow sky]

too expensive?

[rapid merlin]

I got them to pay for my eCPPT

[mellow sky]

ahh nice

eJPT is good too I've heard

for pre oscp

[rapid merlin]

certification is just so expensive

I have my LFCS, they just made that every 2yrs instead of 3yrs

[quick plank]

gladly my parents said they will cover half of it since its for a good cause

[mellow sky]

big w

[quick plank]

when did u do ur eJPT?

[mellow sky]

compared to what a rip off alot of uni degrees are in my country certs are so much better value for money

[rapid merlin]

I didn't, I went straight for my eCPPTv2

[quick plank]

ah nice and you passed on first go?

[rapid merlin]

yeah, it was a killer

[quick plank]

congrats

[rapid merlin]

81 page report

[mellow sky]

jesus

was it AD?

[rapid merlin]

V2 didn't have any AD

the new V3 does

but no report

[quick plank]

Im currently preparing for eJPT

[mellow sky]

oh was it Linux boxes or just windows

[rapid merlin]

mix of linux and windows

[mellow sky]

how much does it cost

can you purchase just the exam or u.need the lab too?

[quick plank]

its abt 300-400 swiss francs

and its lab included

[mellow sky]

like practice boxes?

[quick plank]

yes

[river spindle]

hello friends!
anyone into rooms creation? I wonder how random flags are generated (and if one could have this). I'm trying to create my first room for a private event and I can only see static flags.

[rapid merlin]

good luck mate, learn the material you'll smash it

[rose tusk]

how long is v3? 24h?

[quick plank]

thanks I cant believe I started this journey only 106 days ago

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @potent escarp (current: #449 - 13)

[rapid merlin]

it's 24hr, the V2 gave you access for a week

[rose tusk]

i got v3 voucher and wanted to get the feel of the lay of the land haha

[mellow sky]

so 0 prior cyber sec experience?

[rose tusk]

so wondering how much time you've invested into it and what are the common trends

[sick lance]

You can't get "true" dynamic flags.

[quick plank]

nope nothing. But I have 1.5 years in system engineering as an apprenticeship that will last 4 years

[mellow sky]

I think cyber Security is great cuz it's like a mini game

with ctfs and boxes

[sick lance]

THM uses static flags as means of inputs, if the flag was dynamic, it would never be marked "correct" on the website.

[rapid merlin]

a lot of security is just having a good IT foundation

[mellow sky]

it you have good security principles going in, its so much easier

[river spindle]

I mean, everyone has different flag value, generated at boot time

[quick plank]

This is very true. My system engineering knowledge helped me alot. Also with the basic understanding like IP networks or the ISO OSI

[sick lance]

Yeah. but that won't be accepted on the website.

The flags on THM are static on the answers

[rapid merlin]

I get pulled in on hiring, and the OSI model is one of the first questions I ask about

[dusky vine]

Any one know wifi cracking

[sick lance]

WiFi hacking is for our advanced channels only 🙂

[quick plank]

Thats awesome. In school I was like nah whats that Im never gonna need this and now Im super happy that I just learned it

dm if you need help (only legal)

[dusky vine]

Any one know dark web sites

[whole gazelle]

raaaawr 🦖

[sick lance]

Again, this isn't really the server for this.

We don't discuss illegal topics.

[dusky vine]

No just exploring

[sick lance]

This still isn't the server this.

This server is an ethical hacking and cyber security server that partners https://www.tryhackme.com

[river spindle]

Thank you for the confirmation

[twin ridge]

The darkweb isnt really an inviting place. If you wanna get know the service better, there is a room called tor on thm that u can do.

[mellow narwhal]

It's recommended not to explore on the dark web or get curious

One wrong click, and you could land in a heap of trouble

[rapid merlin]

I've never found the darkweb remotely interesting

messing around trying to find onion sites smh

[mellow narwhal]

I've done a bunch of dark web challenges, but those involved certified education bodies carefully crafting challenge URLs to access

Clicking on random links on the dark web is a big no-no

[inner bloom]

4 years ago, I was hacked while exploring the dark web, and my PC was used for illegal stuff causing all my account getting banned
Lmao
I still laugh at myself

[grave tendon]

[sand trench]

in the semi early 2000:s shadow got scammed on runescape a lot and learnt to be distrusting

[rapid merlin]

easily done mate

[quick plank]

This is the reason, Im using an ghost computer if I ever go into the darknet which is hardly never

[rapid merlin]

How far does a pwnagotchi reach?

[mellow narwhal]

Yeah, that's why it's not advisable to get curious. One out of every three links is either a virus or child porn or something illegal

All of which are guaranteed to get you into trouble

[sick lance]

Probably the Wi-Fi network range.

[sand trench]

depends a bit on antenna but what scrubz said

[quick plank]

ye standard range is abt wifi

[rapid merlin]

I understand TORs value for our security services, but for everyday joe's there's no need

[quick plank]

nope its also slow

[inner bloom]

Real

[sand trench]

tor also has a problem with how many nodes are owned by feds
