[hearty gull]

Guys question what do you do mainly? like web, misc, crypto, pwn, re?

[polar shale]

Honestly bad jokes are kinda funny the silence after

[upper minnow]

my friend had sent some japanese comedy for learning and its really funny

[polar shale]

Everything

[hearty gull]

oh okey cool

[eternal timber]

I love making myself laugh by telling bad jokes

[sinful moon]

British humor is much more prone to non-sequidors and sillyness than American humor

[polar shale]

But mainly networking myself

[hearty gull]

Ah alright

[safe barn]

Can anyone help me with GitHub action, im trying to put my tryhackme badge on GitHub readme page

[polar shale]

Hii you answered my C questions :]

[jolly aspen]

Surely if they float…

[sinful moon]

this is a dumb question but have you seen Pop Team Epic, @polar shale, that be up there with my kind of Japanese humor

[rugged kayak]

you cant, github doesnt allow <iframe> thing in their markdown

[jagged otter]

i got one that ITF+ and A+. i'll be working on the linux+ network+ and security+

[polar shale]

I have not seen should i take a look? Nit a dumb question

[sinful moon]

lol markdown doesn't have HTML tags so....

[polar shale]

both great foot in the door

[sinful moon]

Nice, yes, Highly recommended

[upper minnow]

pog team epic is great

[jolly aspen]

The A+ is certainly useful to have in most cases. It’s probably the most requested in IT in general

[polar shale]

Markdown is application dependent with no standardization

[jagged otter]

yeah, i studied for both at the same time. The A+ i thought i was going to fail

[polar shale]

Reminds me of gta 5 type jokes / fake media

[safe barn]

@rugged kayak yeah i know but there is a way around

[jolly iron]

are they dressed up like sailor moon 😖

[polar shale]

A+ IS GEAT MAN good job keep going

[shell nova]

I'm gonna go and remove that, sorry

[sinful moon]

This is true however, it's more like local dialects and not just like "oh we allow HTML all of the sudden"

[polar shale]

Ooof

[jagged otter]

thanks. why would anyone need the linux+?

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @polar shale (current: #271 - 24)

[polar shale]

Lol exactly

[sinful moon]

Oh I guess the middle finger was too rude, fair enough. My bad

[polar shale]

If you want to get into Linux System Administration

[shell nova]

probably not the best place for that

[sinful moon]

No worries at all, was just relevant to the subject matter. Didn't think it was too much, but no problem!

[jagged otter]

well, i'm taking a cyber security program at college and I have to take all those certs

[polar shale]

Yep will definitely help

[upper minnow]

god certificates are such fucking scams

[grizzled wing]

i make my own certs haha

[polar shale]

Shhhh 😶 😉

[upper minnow]

i have to pay the price of a new kidney for a test im not even sure i will pass

[polar shale]

Oh i see not usd ?

[sinful moon]

lol try explaining that to the HR interviewers

[polar shale]

Might work tbh 🤣

[upper minnow]

brazil

[polar shale]

Ooof

[whole yew]

I'm going to "well actually..." you right here. Markdown is intended to be a writing format for the web, and is definitionally a superset of language features that includes HTML - if a markdown renderer doesn't support HTML, it's not technically conforming to the official markdown definition 🙂

[sinful moon]

You are indeed right lol

[whole yew]

kek

[sinful moon]

depends on how nitpicky you wanna be on each implimentation

[grizzled wing]

its the year of Juun 🐍

[polar shale]

Juun goat

[upper minnow]

@sinful moon this is an educational comedy drama about a teacher teaching basic japanese to foreigners https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eilWAtqfU9M

[sinful moon]

I just typically think of the GitHub or Obsidians of the world, but yep they're just literally rendering out to HTML anyways, and in some implimentations you can escape out and just do raw HTML

[upper minnow]

its really good

[sinful moon]

Oh nice, thanks for the recommendation. I'll have to check that out

[twin ridge]

Any good technical book recommendations topics like security, networking and programming ?

[rapid merlin]

Might do some arts and crafts on the 15th

[polar shale]

Nooooooo

[grizzled wing]

[sinful moon]

Yeah just about anything from No Starch Press is fantastic

[polar shale]

Thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @grizzled wing (current: #54 - 155)

[polar shale]

Any others?

[jagged otter]

i have someone that wants me to do their homework for their class. told me they would give me 4000.00 to do it

[upper minnow]

i was reading this one

[sinful moon]

Do you also want historical and wide focus things?

[grizzled wing]

the newest version is portswigger

[polar shale]

Picked one up on Windows Internals but im waiting till i get further slong jn C

[whole yew]

That's a good place to start for pentesting, but if you are new to IT I would not recommend it

[polar shale]

In the field currently

Just want some books for while im bored

[jagged otter]

i like reading networking books

[upper minnow]

a really good book for C is "modern C"

[polar shale]

Same

[sinful moon]

if so "Hackers: Heros of the Computer Revolution" is a 10/10 book despite mainly being about computing history, also was written in 1984, but it's good to know the lienage of computing history

This is referign to the classical term to hackers and not our modern conception

[whole yew]

Math for Security was a fun one

[upper minnow]

oooh this one is great

[polar shale]

Curewntly on C the programming language the second edition

[gleaming grove]

what about "Network Basics for Hackers" by occupytheweb?

[polar shale]

Thanks bro

[whole yew]

So was Hacks, Leaks, and Revelations

[jagged otter]

that's a good one

[grizzled wing]

i read that, was not impressed

i parsed all of those files

[jagged otter]

but over the wire is very fun and would be good to start

[polar shale]

Thanks girls and guys :3

[upper minnow]

or if you wanna certificationMax you can read the pdf version of security+ guides

[grizzled wing]

overthewire is how i got started which led me here

[whole yew]

Technically, it's not impressive. As far as journalism and the story of what they disclosed? I thought it was much more interesting

[jagged otter]

you can read all day long but if you don't actually do it, can't really grasp the concepts

[upper minnow]

yea thats why ive been dropping books for study

[whole yew]

This is kind of getting close to endorsing piracy, lets not encourage intellectual property stuff that could get people in trouble please

[sinful moon]

I mean it's not all or nothing either

[polar shale]

I study then read for fun and still do exccerisses while reading

[sinful moon]

do both lol

[upper minnow]

cant you buy it?

[polar shale]

Learning exersices

[sinful moon]

suppliment your learning with a wide verity of sources and methods

[jagged otter]

i really like over the wire

[sinful moon]

just like "just doing THM" isn't really enough, as much as I love and respect this platform

[upper minnow]

it makes you feel like youre learning but if you dont take notes or do the stuff it all goes down the drain

[whole yew]

It depends on the book, and being able to find a legit vendor. 99% of the time, when people talk about acquiring PDFs it is through extra-legal means.

[grizzled wing]

THM is /*

[jolly iron]

A double spooking the world, the double of abstraction

[polar shale]

Gym bro 💪 I do calisthenics at home and the park in the summer

[jagged otter]

those are great

[sinful moon]

I very much agree, but cries in no digital copies available to purchase vibes

[polar shale]

Lol yep 😭😂 how about internet archive tho?

[gleaming grove]

yeah me too!!! bandit?

[sinful moon]

That is the case with the 1999 text "The Infinite Loop" about Apple history

[grizzled wing]

yeap, watching how it was done

[whole yew]

Depends on the archive. If it's public domain, it's public domain. If the content is covered under a proprietary license that explicitly or implicitly means 'do not distribute'.....

[grizzled wing]

[grizzled wing]

Wait im not mod

[grizzled wing]

it was malicious link for free 🍟

[sinful moon]

I didn't hear about that but yeah I'm sure IA needs more public funding. They probably don't get it because they're not as obnoxious about it as my other love, Wikipedia

[upper minnow]

those are so funny

[polar shale]

Like bruh

[grizzled wing]

[sinful moon]

I've given money to Wikipedia for sure, but yeah I should throw some to IA

[polar shale]

IA>WIKI

[grizzled wing]

i have edited on Wiki

[jolly aspen]

Yes. Been having fun sandboxing these

[sinful moon]

they're both equally lovely and important imho

[jolly aspen]

The links, not the fries. Fries are for eating and admiring

[jagged otter]

would you take the 4000.00 dollars and do someone's work for a class to help them pass or no?

[grizzled wing]

[sinful moon]

I use wikipedia every single day of the year tbh

[polar shale]

[jolly aspen]

Might want to rethink that, pretty sure that’s…. cough cough

[upper minnow]

i would have not gotten throuygh college without the help of some friends and neither would they

[grizzled wing]

think that is the 2nd time you said this

[sinful moon]

There's Wikipedia "reading lists" where you can save articles under catagories on mobile and I use that heavily. I also just deeply enjoy learning everything I'm curious about and can get my hands on

[jagged otter]

lmao@ juun i can't snitch

[drifting mural]

Most of the institutions don't care actually

[upper minnow]

did i? i have poor memory

[grizzled wing]

i remember it ,

[sinful moon]

for one alt history show I'm watching I looked up like five articles alone in one episode just to learn the history and how it varied in this alt universe

[drifting mural]

Is Wikipedia a good source?

[grizzled wing]

not bad

[whole yew]

There's a difference between being a tutor and being dishonest - doing the work for someone else, I'm going to let the reciept speak for itself

[jolly aspen]

The taking money part places them a guilty party as well. Regardless of reporting to institution 🫣

[eternal timber]

It’s a good source for finding sources

[drifting mural]

Who took the money? I missed the part

[whole yew]

Wikipedia is a good place to start learning about a topic. But it's not rigorous enough to use it as a primary source if you need to check that you are actually correct

[jagged otter]

but taking the money then telling on them? lol

[grizzled wing]

juun would take money & report

[sinful moon]

Generally yes, but I wouldn't cite it in a paper, it's more for my knowledge, but I also bring my own dose of skepticism if something looks wrong

Yeah as said above it's good at finding the actual sources you should be citing if you had to lol

[whole yew]

Yep, it would go into escrow and not be touched until I had the all-clear from the university. "Here's what the customer agreed to, here's what they paid to, here's what they wanted me to do that was outside the bounds of the contract."

[jolly aspen]

Imagine going to police station with a bag of…erherm. “Hey, I’ve just bought this, arrest the guy that sold it to me”

[jolly aspen]

That’s dangerously close to civilian entrapment….

[whole yew]

Slightly different situation - part of it was, I was known person to the university in question

[sinful moon]

I'm just kind of addicted to learning information with most of my YouTube also being this kind of content

[drifting mural]

I don't understand what is happening

[drifting mural]

Yeah I do a lot of Googles and watch YouTube to understand the subject

Too

[whole yew]

Not really entrapment. Before money changes hands, I make it very clear that I do not participate in cheating, and that even offering money to cheat is against academic honesty and behavior code. It's an explicit statement that I'm assisting with learning, not doing homework. If I get asked to "just do the homework" anyway, then it got reported.

[sinful moon]

I don't so much go out to search for into on YouTube for learning as I do follow channels who publish content that I can learn from if that makes sense

[whole yew]

Action was taken against 3 athletes on scholarship for attempting to get me to cheat for them

[polar shale]

The help desk guys at work who are in their mid 40's ask if im "hacking into the pentagon" when they see me on my personal laptop. Like no unc im doing tryhackme rooms ... 💀

Their botfarm is just joining open communities and blasting every channel they have access to.

[blissful snow]

[jolly aspen]

This flag is interactive with a strong knock on the front door knocking it completely in

[sinful moon]

[polar shale]

I wanna bot farm 😭 no fair

[grizzled wing]

that's a clue to the next level with user Mr.White

[sinful moon]

Gaming is just a passion of mine and I have played a vast majority of these lol

[blazing granite]

so now I know from where all those fries come from, potato dissection 😉 😂

[sturdy pike]

Most I've played are around 300 in the last 5 years I've had my laptop and those are AAA, Indie and some other titles, a surface to scratch on

[sturdy pike]

I was playing it on my potato laptop, GTX 1650 4GB, it's fans rotate so hard feels it'll float away any day now

[sinful moon]

Totally fair, I can at least tell you I have beaten exactly 600 games in my life, obviosuly excluding endless games

47 of that total being 100%s

[sturdy pike]

You actually 100% your games? Only 12% of people do that at an average

[sinful moon]

I barely care about doing so... some were just because "well that's all there was to the games"... until Spyro the Dragon on PS1 as an adult and 100%ing those all, and also replaying some faves

[sturdy pike]

Older games were about the developers passion for creating interactive games, I've found myself 100% older games as they're really good, sequels or other series are just a money grab or the storyline drifted away

[jolly aspen]

Top 12%

[sinful moon]

Besides Spyro, Star Wars: Dark Forces for PC/Mac/PS1 is one that I've 100%ed to heck and back in every coneviable way

[sturdy pike]

I've replayed a lot of favorites, kinda comforting and being a familiar environment and all, it's really good

[sinful moon]

But generally, yeah I'm more than happy just beating a game

I'm not really a completionist, I'm just there for the experience

[sturdy pike]

I've 100% longer games like RDR series, God of War series, Call of Duty, Doom series etc

[sinful moon]

damn dude

100%ing RDR is no joke

[wary ocean]

im in the process of 100%ing cyberpunk

yeah I'm sure. I love RDR1 and 2 but whew, I don't know if I'll ever 100% them

[sturdy pike]

Tell me how was it, I'll try to play it again as i left it on the first act last time

[wary ocean]

after the 2.0 update its gotten 10x better

[sinful moon]

I have nearly 100%ed some of the PS2 era GTA games but not quite

[blazing granite]

I'm 100% in the fact that I have no clue what you people are talking about, not a gamer at all 🙂

[eternal timber]

Do you have to shoot every civilian

[sturdy pike]

"You're a good man, Arthur"

[sinful moon]

lol

[sturdy pike]

Lmao

[wary ocean]

theres a lot of rdo achievements too which is nearly impossible with how small the community is

[sinful moon]

Yeah I hate online achievements with a burning passion

[wary ocean]

i wanna 100% payday 2 at some point

[eternal timber]

Apriori

[sturdy pike]

GTA 2 and 3 I've played, my PS1 was taken by the kid of a relative

[wary ocean]

1328 achievements 😭

[sinful moon]

Honestly though I will say I'm not really one for 100%ing or achievement hunting, but it depends on how passionate I am about the game

[blazing granite]

Bye people, I need to do some stuff and I'll take advantege of all this game talk 😂

[sinful moon]

Halo: MCC? Yeah I'm down with how much I love classic Halo, despite those 700 achievements. I just doubt I'll get it in my lifetime lol

lol I did set calandar events for all of this month though for the launch date achievements of each game though

[eternal timber]

I downloaded Yakuza 0 a few days ago but my laptop started making loud noises

[sturdy pike]

The halo series, I had played it when my PS2 and PS3 were working but that was over seven years ago, I either need a new laptop or a new PS5 to go on

[sinful moon]

um what

Xbox and Xbox 360?

[sturdy pike]

Well isn't it available on game pass on laptop/PC? My bad for saying PS5, i confused the franchise

[wary ocean]

halo mcc is like 10 bucks

atm, its on sale

[sinful moon]

Yeah it is in modern times, never so for PS2/PS3, no worries. But yes I'd recommend just buying Halo: MCC on PC for yeah $10 on sale

[wooden totem]

lap top

[sturdy pike]

Also yes, you're right lol, it wasn't PS2 or PS3, it was my brothers Xbox 360

[sinful moon]

$10 is kind of an insane price for 6 games

[wary ocean]

shh dont let bungie know

[sturdy pike]

I've been a lot on the grind in those times, well i don't usually like to spend money on purchasing games except if I really like them so I'll consider it

[sinful moon]

lol Bungie don't have any say over that anymore

Totally fair

[wary ocean]

if they did then master chief would be behind a paywall to even look at

[sturdy pike]

Which company was it who was saying that "You don't own the titles, you're just renting them"?

[wary ocean]

ubisoft

[sinful moon]

Indeed

[wary ocean]

most have that as policy but ubisoft was the idiots who said it

and also have deletion of inactive accounts

[eternal timber]

Ubisoft keeps shooting itself in the foot

[sinful moon]

Also still one of the only ones stubborn enough to keep to their own launcher

[wary ocean]

ubisoft is so stupid

[sturdy pike]

It's always ubisoft, I remember how they didn't help me recover my account with 5 freaking games, all ultimate editions at that, now I remember why I don't like to spend money on games anymore

[wary ocean]

ive had to contact support for every ubisoft game ive ever got on steam cuz it wouldnt let me play

[wooden totem]

you die a hero or you li

[sturdy pike]

Ubisoft is B Rabbit

[eternal timber]

live long enough to be a dumbass

[wary ocean]

i use to go to school with someone so obsessed with assassins creed he fell down the stairs cuz he was trying to do some shit from the game

[sinful moon]

Like the did what everyone wanted and brought back the Scott Prilgrim game... and immediately shot themself in the foot by requiring the Ubisoft launcher even via Steam

[wary ocean]

istg my school was like a south park episode

she looked like a crack head and everything was a taylor swift refence

[eternal timber]

Maybe cause I’m tired

[wooden totem]

I remember sliding down the long staircase face first at school, multiple times

[eternal timber]

even one of the football players was trying to hit on her and he just walked back over like "shes weird bro"

Antidepressants helped me with social anxiety too

[upper minnow]

meds and therapy is a good start

[wooden totem]

I don't think its that easy to get those

[polar shale]

I just say fuck it i could care less what people think just embrace the akward

[polar shale]

In America it is 😂 😂 😂 😂

[sturdy pike]

The confidence i want is approach confidence, to make connections, friends and even form a relationship, my stage fear is kinda fading away automatically and I don't have problem speaking or doing stuff more freely

[eternal timber]

I had to get sent to an asylum before I them so yeah

[polar shale]

You can get almost anything in America woth as little as saying you had a bad day for benzodiapines and your pinkie hurts for opitates

[polar shale]

Ayoo a fellow grippy sock member ! 🫡

[eternal timber]

It’s not easy when you feel overwhelming anxiety around crowds of people

[upper minnow]

practice approaching people in the mirror

i knooow its cringe but it works

[heady parrot]

getting medical drug to satisfy ur brain is mental

[eternal timber]

My problem is if I'm talking to someone I like ill talk about the same subject in great detail

[rapid merlin]

It's not cringe, I used to think recording myself speaking a topic and listening to it was cringe but it actually helped me improve my voice modulation and pronunciation, how do I make the approach in the mirror? What do I say?

[wary ocean]

My ex knows the entirety of the star wars plot by heart probably 😭

[eternal timber]

Is that why she’s your ex

[wary ocean]

Nah it's a long story

But it ain't Abt Star wars

[rapid merlin]

Decided to pull out some old tech gear and see if I can fix some stuff ☺️

[eternal timber]

This sounds like the opposite of wise advice

[sturdy pike]

I find people stupid and not in the Harvey specter way but Mike Ross way, so until someone is brimming with confidence, I don't bat an eye, although I'm open minded, I don't take in trash so it's really hard to decide who to idolize, if you understand what I mean

[rapid merlin]

anyone got a good password generator site not tied to a business?

[wooden totem]

you gotta reread it 25 times to make sense

no, humans are too dumb for that no offense

[polar shale]

Gimmie one

[polar shale]

Host your own would be my advice

[eternal timber]

for loop of for loops

[rapid merlin]

yeah, probs, i assume keepass(xc) can probably do it

[finite basalt]

I have made my humble abode smell like fresh chillies

[rapid merlin]

just wanted a quick win, being lazy today

[polar shale]

Yep and if your into programming build your own

[polar shale]

Oh i feel you

[finite basalt]

keepassxc doesn't do any server type hosting iirc, I use it day to day but use a USB for it and keep backups

[rapid merlin]

found one on reddit that sorta fits the bill, just needed to finish setting up my vpn before use.

[finite basalt]

I might switch to something self-hosted at some point rather than using local copies but keepass xc is great other than that drawback

[polar shale]

Im hungry

Need bytes

[rapid merlin]

obfuscation, of course, probably being a bit paranoid but it does bother me that realistically someone could be compiling ip addresses -> passwords to pass along to bad guys

[rapid merlin]

iirc a locally hosted bitwarden setup is ideal, but again, lazy

[finite basalt]

same here to be honest, that's why I just use keepassxc

[polar shale]

Lol

We cant be lazy in sec

[rapid merlin]

you can when there are lower hanging fruit for administrative tasks lol

[finite basalt]

I'm still security oriented

[polar shale]

😂😂😭

[finite basalt]

I'm just not going out of my way to host a server based system

if you think about it, that has its own drawbacks security wise

[rapid merlin]

usecase often trumps correctness of implementation lol

[polar shale]

Just shooting shit

[rapid merlin]

i know, same.

[finite basalt]

I keep my keepassxc database either on encrypted devices or an encrypted USB and on my password protected network share for both backups and practicality

[fringe nacelle]

Sup yah

[finite basalt]

So it's not at all exposed to the web, making it just that bit more secure and I don't have to go to the effort of setting up a less secure system for the sake of longer term practicality

[polar shale]

Yo cupid

[rapid merlin]

anyways, got my password generator site and vpn setup, so i can set up my security questions for local windows accounts safely lol

[fringe nacelle]

How are yah doing

[polar shale]

Vibing twin u?

Bouta leave work

[rapid merlin]

love that they require 3, the questions are all single word answers, and iirc they exist in memory while the system is running

[polar shale]

Just gotta send some emails

[rapid merlin]

sick

I have an old laptop here with a busted screen I’ve managed to set it up to a separate monitor. It has a password on it and I’ve no idea the pw. How would I go about resetting it so it’s clean

what part is passworded?

[polar shale]

Device?

[fringe nacelle]

Got an interview with a CyberSecurity Internship for the City I live in.

I'm hyped

[finite basalt]

hard drive or ssd?

[rapid merlin]

Laptop 😂

[polar shale]

Model*

[rapid merlin]

What 😆

Oh I dunno

[polar shale]

You already stated it was a laptop

[jolly aspen]

congrats!

[rapid merlin]

what part is passworded, if it isn't the bios you can just reimage it.

[rapid merlin]

I have no idea

[rapid merlin]

It’s the sign into account

[finite basalt]

like you can flatten it by reinstalling windows but for true data wiping you want to wipe and you can boot dedicated wiping software

[polar shale]

How are we gonna help if you dont know lol

[rapid merlin]

As you can see the main screen is busted

[polar shale]

Great work bro! Im excited FOR you!:]

[rapid merlin]

then yeah, just create some install media and install a new OS over the old one.

[finite basalt]

although, are you saying it's bios password protected?

[rapid merlin]

But I think I’ll fix it and order a screen

[eternal timber]

Probably better if I take a nap

[jolly aspen]

is it really necesarry to have it on an encrypted drive? or do you mean you compress it with a passkey?

[eternal timber]

Absorbing information at a snail’s pace rn

[polar shale]

Nap time

[rapid merlin]

if you care about the data you'll need to take the harddrive out and mount it somewhere else, or sideload an OS on a usb stick.

It’s the pw to get into the account on the laptop

[upper minnow]

theres usually some information under it

[finite basalt]

it's stored on an encrypted drive and has its own password on the database
I store other files on the USB that I wouldn't want everyone to freely access

[polar shale]

Leaening exp

[jolly aspen]

ah ok, that makes sense. i just thought getting a special encrypted usb seemed a big step just for an already encrypted database.

[polar shale]

I mean it wont hurt and will defend against physical layer attacks(someone finessing your USB)

[finite basalt]

Google secure wiping usb boot and you'll find something for wiping the drive securely and then create an installation for either windows or a linux distro and install it and you'll be golden.

[rapid merlin]

There must be an easier way to access the laptop

which version of windows is that?

[finite basalt]

Either way, more steps never hurts, even if it was the only file I'd probably encrypt it

[rapid merlin]

some of the older versions have some workarounds if you have local access.

[polar shale]

7 i think

[finite basalt]

I do also tend to keep a local copy of windows keepass on it for when I'm at university etc. so I can open my password database as needed

[polar shale]

Might be able to just boot into a live linux iso and mount your ntfs paritions stealth from here you can recover data

[rapid merlin]

Might be windows 7 😂

cant remember the software, was made by norton though, basically allowed you to recover passwords off the disk, but this was back in the vista/7 era.

norton ghost i think?

[finite basalt]

there's also heirens boot disk iirc

that'll probably do it

[jolly aspen]

ok thats nice...but on a uni computer?

[rapid merlin]

i haven't kept up with it, since i don't do local IT anymore.

[finite basalt]

I keep separate databases for things

[rapid merlin]

presumably local passwords are mostly a non-factor in business environments (what am i saying, lol)

[finite basalt]

There are times where it's convenient to have access to that sort of thing

[jolly aspen]

thats fair, i guess i see encrypted files as more adaptable to CVE's than a device locked into its scheme

and less expensive

[finite basalt]

another option is to connect the drive of your laptop to another computer and use forensics software to examine the drive contents and see if you can get the hash from SAM database of the drive before cracking it

[rapid merlin]

I have no idea

[finite basalt]

but if you don't care about retreiving the contents just wipe it, it's easier

[polar shale]

Install arch ! :3

[rapid merlin]

I wanna just wipe it

I don’t care about whats on it

[jolly aspen]

00000000000000000000000

[finite basalt]

like securely erase it or install over it?

[finite basalt]

not recommended for SSDs

[rapid merlin]

Like I just want it to work the fastest way 😂

[polar shale]

Replace with arch then make sure people know you are running arch

[rapid merlin]

I would not use arch

[polar shale]

Lolllll nah im getting as much W as i can

[finite basalt]

just create boot media, remove the partitions in the installer and create replacement partitions to install

[polar shale]

What would you use?

[rapid merlin]

Mint or kali

[upper minnow]

i recently did so

[polar shale]

Go mint

[rapid merlin]

I’ve had it before

[polar shale]

Niiiiice

[upper minnow]

its my first linux machine

[jolly aspen]

wasn't following the convo

[finite basalt]

unfortunately, writing 0s to the entire drive not only wears it out but it also doesn't work to securely erase SSDs due to provisioning

[upper minnow]

my friend insisted that arch was easy for beginners but im starting to doubt it

the wiki is so scary i dont understand most of it

[finite basalt]

so if it's unknown whether the device is ssd/hdd and you don't care about a secure erase, just install over it

[polar shale]

Nah ik just shooting shit about write cycles lol

I remember a sample that overwrote disk with heart unicode emoji

[jolly aspen]

not many options if it wasnt setup with encryption from the start

if you want a real wipe that is

[finite basalt]

there are some for ssds as some of them do have functions for wiping the provision area if it's not completely broken

but for sure, it being encrypted in the first place is a big help in secure wiping

[polar shale]

When i get home im gonna see how many write cycles until i destory one of my spare m.2's

Only 256gb why do manufactures send this bs out lol mobody works with that little data

Idk maybe end users

But that includes gamers who use more than 250 im sire

[grizzled wing]

comptia certs

plus THM gets you all ready though

[jolly aspen]

it'll take a bit more than both of those. some experience or projects to demostrate some domain knowledge. the pathways will help inform and show some ideas though

Can I not make a pw cracking usb stick instead

😐

[grizzled wing]

dont use Google Collab notebooks for hashcracking, you get in trouble

[uneven hedge]

i like burningice cause its more like a warmup to jog memory, and then watch messer, make anki cards

[jolly aspen]

your face and the screen need to go separate ways

[sand trench]

the alt text explains what actually happens when you fail the sudo check if it is setup "correctly"

[opaque flax]

Bro the first time I ever touched tryhack me or Linux I opened up the attack box, ran something and then got the this incident will be reported message and was like what the fuck and thought they were gonna ban me

[half girder]

[opaque flax]

Well this was my first time and I didn’t know wtf I was doing lol

[grizzled wing]

you have learned from this experience , learning+

[topaz topaz]

Thanks for the help I appreciate, and between the security analyst, pentest and security engineer what of those paths you recommend ?

[grizzled wing]

pentest+

[jolly aspen]

if you are just beginning, they will be relaly overwhelming without doing some of the pre sec and sec 101

[grizzled wing]

(honestly all of them)

[opaque flax]

Depends on what you want to do

But yeah start with the basics

[opaque flax]

I did. I learned that those messages are atupid

[grizzled wing]

the pathway is there for a reason

[opaque flax]

I AM THE ADMINISTRATOR HAHAHA

[karmic hemlock]

Hey everyone

[jolly aspen]

theres not really a shortcut, the basics are a foundation to build upon

[grizzled wing]

hey jakey

[atomic atlas]

what's up jake

[karmic hemlock]

Yoooo

bro's got the fry box color now

[jolly aspen]

jake is {blue}

I match!

[karmic hemlock]

Zoooo, what's up dude!

[opaque flax]

But I want root now

I want it NOW

[grizzled wing]

[atomic atlas]

It's been quite some time I hope you're doing great !

[opaque flax]

Bro what don’t hack me like that

[eternal timber]

Hey Jake

[karmic hemlock]

I'm thriving man, just got promoted to an officer position in my cyber club!

Hey kamma, hey sudo

[eternal timber]

Sick

[grizzled wing]

📘 Jake Hacks

[jolly aspen]

does it come with a badge

[atomic atlas]

Ahhh I knew it! I'm sure things are going to keep getting better for you!!!

[grizzled wing]

i have a hard time getting rev shells to work on my machine, you are safe

[karmic hemlock]

Not yet, but it does come with looking good on a resume

[atomic atlas]

When's the next hacking competition you'll do with your club ?

[opaque flax]

There’s a message somewhere in one of the discords. Someone rev shelled themselves

Made my fucking lose it

[grizzled wing]

im in a hacking club of 1

[karmic hemlock]

March 8th, we're doing an online competition with a pretty good prize pool

[opaque flax]

Was funny

[jolly aspen]

whats the comp?

[atomic atlas]

I didn't know these were a thing. Good luck! You'll be great

[karmic hemlock]

The top 3 teams each win a couple grand from what I hear 👀

[karmic hemlock]

Cyberseed

[grizzled wing]

oh my, beginners mistakes

[opaque flax]

Was not a beginner

Was a complex exploit

[topaz topaz]

and from what I've seen you also have to learn python

[opaque flax]

Custom exploit if I recall correctly

[grizzled wing]

yikes

[opaque flax]

It helps. You don’t have to but you should at some point

[grizzled wing]

Python is a nice to have while Bash scripting is 💯

[karmic hemlock]

I'm very excited for elections though, I got lucky because our old Event Coordinator left, so I got imposed as the new one (bc I was runner up in last year's vote)

But I want VP so bad dude

[opaque flax]

Apparently I have a fever

[rapid merlin]

Do any of you know your motor bikes

[opaque flax]

Who knew

[karmic hemlock]

I can't know what I don't have

[opaque flax]

That’s pretty cool

[rapid merlin]

Then not you

😂

[karmic hemlock]

aw darn

[eternal timber]

Bugatti

[grizzled wing]

man 🛵

[rapid merlin]

No not that

[eternal timber]

Yamaha

[rapid merlin]

I want to know what bike she rides

[grizzled wing]

Honda

[karmic hemlock]

scooter

[atomic atlas]

A lot of things are happening for you bro, I can't wait to hear about your accomplishments in a few weeks

[rapid merlin]

I want one

It’s a bmw what though

[atomic atlas]

white

[opaque flax]

S1000rr

It’s a bmw s1000rr

[rapid merlin]

Is that the name of it

[opaque flax]

Yes

That is the make and model

[eternal timber]

Seems to be whitish

[opaque flax]

BMW makes awesome bikes

[rapid merlin]

Guys I’m not colour blind 😂

[karmic hemlock]

It's gonna be awesome man, my friend and I were talking to a Master's student who is going for his PhD and he may take over the faculty spot for the club. He wants to overhaul it and really get stuff done so hopefully our name will get out there

[rapid merlin]

At least I don’t think so

👀

[opaque flax]

FYI it has some purple in it

[eternal timber]

That’s a BMW from the logo

[rapid merlin]

I want a white one with some red on it

[sick lance]

Why not just ask who posted it?

[rapid merlin]

For some reason it allows me to like videos but not comment and I dunno why

[eternal timber]

They probably turned off comments

[karmic hemlock]

scudo veggies

[atomic atlas]

You'll be building a solid network too. You seem to be going in the right direction!!!

[rapid merlin]

Nah it’s on all the videos

👁️👄👁️

[grizzled wing]

scoot scoot

[rapid merlin]

Anyways thanks ☺️

[opaque flax]

It’s a custom color fyi

[grizzled wing]

🦧

[eternal timber]

Looks like that to me

[karmic hemlock]

I see you're already up to mage! You might catch me soon man!

[atomic atlas]

I won't... I'm working hard but you're not getting weaker haha

[rapid merlin]

There seems to be different shapes too and I like her one

[karmic hemlock]

I believe you will... I have to slow down here to reorganize my notes

My notes are a little different from everyone else's... mine are going to be distributed to my club so I gotta make sure they're really top notch in terms of organization

[topaz topaz]

After passing the security+ and net+ certs, which cert should I look for or where else should I study?

[rapid merlin]

Anyone got some recommendations where to keep notes for CTFs on linux mint

[opaque flax]

I’m sure you can get custom fairings for it

[atomic atlas]

You probably already did but maybe you can ask AI what's the model

[grizzled wing]

Obsidian

[opaque flax]

I’d just focus on those certs

Then start looking for the next thing

Get that good base

No need to overwhelm yourself now

[atomic atlas]

That's a good way to ensure they're good quality... It's still progress even though you won't get any points from that haha

[topaz topaz]

Ok I understand

[rapid merlin]

Thanks boss

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @grizzled wing (current: #54 - 157)

The Obsidian blob is getting bigger!

[opaque flax]

Gonna need blob storage soon

[grizzled wing]

THM pathway

[atomic atlas]

[opaque flax]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-blobs-introduction

[eternal timber]

Hungry

[karmic hemlock]

Yep, that's why I got other people in the club to help out

it's also why my Obsidian blob is huge, there's a lot more in there outside of THM haha

[grizzled wing]

[karmic hemlock]

Legs still sore

[grizzled wing]

[opaque flax]

Some sales guy tried to get me to buy one when I told him I make only 30k a year at the time he was like that’s okay it’s only 2/3 of your salary

Like bro what

[karmic hemlock]

I felt like an animal on leg day this week

[grizzled wing]

i love leg day

[rapid merlin]

Yeah maybe tomorrow

[opaque flax]

Okay well the best coding language is scratch

Fight me

[atomic atlas]

I wish there were more people interested in cybersecurity in my class...

[opaque flax]

Fuckin fight me

[karmic hemlock]

Leg day definitely isn't my favorite though lol

[grizzled wing]

i have aesthetically pleasing legs

[rapid merlin]

Yeah I’ve just seen a couple for 20K

[jolly aspen]

you can drape a tarp over it and sleep next to it for shelter

[opaque flax]

Was years ago

[grizzled wing]

MIT Scratch language being the best? hahah you joke

[karmic hemlock]

my focus has been on pullups lately

[opaque flax]

[eternal timber]

I don’t like Reese’s

[visual furnace]

hi everyone, I have a question, is the openvpn room bugged? I don't see a button to deploy a machine, also in the access panel it does not say connect, although I am (I tested with another room also did curl 10.10.10.10/whoami, and it gave me an ip

[karmic hemlock]

Reese's pieces are goated

[opaque flax]

If you can code in Reese’s pieces I would do something I dunno. Be impressed for sure

[karmic hemlock]

top 3 candy of all time

imagine an M&M but better

[atomic atlas]

Do you want to use this to store your files and stuff ? I don't know much about storage for the cloud

[jolly aspen]

pre-chewed peanut tho

[opaque flax]

lol bro I am not paying my way for azure services

[grizzled wing]

i mentioned emojicode earlier, so i wonder what reese's code would be

[opaque flax]

That is stuff for the corporations

[opaque flax]

A lot of pain
