ohh bootcamp

[eternal timber]

I have like 5 books to read

[shell nova]

Sounds dangerous

[eternal timber]

i just wrote "5 reads to book" before editing it lmao

[grizzled wing]

for book in book_list: print("read it!")

[eternal timber]

never been so focused for so long in my life

inshallah

[split compass]

Informative I think. Probably useful for advanced bot debugging to understand the queue mechanisms used by Discord.

[eternal timber]

I have a course called ethical hacking from zero to mastery that I never got around to finishing

[grizzled wing]

that one i did, from one of the companies that makes lots of content (forget the name), its what i started out learning cyber security content, it was crap!

[quick blaze]

chat what do we think about programming, as in do y'all think its absolutely necessary to learn (like C#, Java) or is it just fine to stick with scripting languages like Python, JS and powershell

[grizzled wing]

python coding skills is icing on a cake

[eternal timber]

wait really? It was pretty solid

[grizzled wing]

BASH is what you need

[dark mason]

I disagree

[wary ocean]

not required, but can help tons

[dark mason]

Bash is just for automation

Python and assembly

[quick blaze]

assembly 😭

[dark mason]

Amd C

And*

[grizzled wing]

they guy dragged and dropped his malware from 1 VM box onto the made vulnerable windows box,, so not world like

[dark mason]

There is no room for mental health in cybersec

FUCK

[quick blaze]

😭🙏🏽

LMAOO

[dark mason]

I am so cooked

[quick blaze]

good luck man 🙏🏽

[shell nova]

On a serious note, take care of your mental health, it's important

[grizzled wing]

its important to know how the scripts you run work, BASH is how to be efficient in the terminal

[quick blaze]

any other opinions? anyone?

[upper knoll]

learn whatever u enjoy learning

all the skills will help u

[shell nova]

I mean there's zsh and fish as well

[dark mason]

True, but most companies doesn't really look for BASH

[shell nova]

Powershell

[dark mason]

May the mod gods forgive me

[quick blaze]

i don't like programming in general, my comp sci degree is kinda forcing me to learn C rn but i'm not enjoying it too much

[dark mason]

Kinda

[grizzled wing]

i say BASH for generic use, zsh or fsh is included

[quick blaze]

i've tried python too but i don't see any point sticking to it cause i don't need it at the moment when i'm solely focusing on cybersec

[grizzled wing]

C is super helpful for malware analysis and the CTFs

[quick blaze]

how so?

[upper knoll]

python is crazy useful in cyber sec

[dark mason]

You do need python and C for CTFs

[opaque flax]

most of the scripts an tools you run in cybersec are in python

[grizzled wing]

you are given a ELF file, now figireout what it says, how to get the flag, use Ghidra etc

[quick blaze]

O

[grizzled wing]

Python is the swiss army knife for cyber security

[quick blaze]

fair enough

[opaque flax]

python is so important for cyber sec

pwn tools exists

[sturdy pike]

||How do I change password for sophie in AD? It's giving out an error||

[dark mason]

Swiss army knife until you get to pwn

[wary ocean]

you dont need to be a complete master but you need to be familiar with it

[quick blaze]

i'm aware but rn i still haven't run into using or implementing python into anything yet...so...

[jolly aspen]

I’m pretty sure it’s just a snake

[upper knoll]

you will

[grizzled wing]

if you pwn, you get cheese 🧀

[opaque flax]

you will pretty quickly

[karmic geyser]

Indeed, in such a affirmative way. I stand till shall be known in a good way to the unknowns as a known

Well, I was thinking it’s like a soft throne

So still affirmative

But also, comfy

i wonder why chatgpt always only tells half of the truth or gives wrong facts, once you ask again "is it really like that?" it suddenly changes its mind "oh indeed, it works this way" ... so annoying 🙈

I particularly dislike that phrase this week.

[naive violet]

Try asking it if it's sure when it's correct as well

It's aggressively against conflict with the user

[half girder]

hm good idea

sec

[split compass]

Athropic released an interesting little study they did with their chat AI.
Definitely the primary directive of "be helpful" gets in teh way.

[half girder]

@naive violet that just unleashed a massive flood on information yikes 😮

"you are right" .. errr no, i wasnt lol

[naive violet]

...yeah

[half girder]

hm guess i rather get the britannica encyclopedia lol

[naive violet]

The misinformation machine generates misinformation quite often. It's shocking to see people rely on it as truth...

[quick blaze]

gemini is much worse by the way..

[lament tendon]

A friend of mine more or less fully switched from looking stuff up normally to asking ChatGPT, it's kinda annoying.

[half girder]

in my experience, copilot was the worst one so far in my testings... kinda gave me the feeling it suffers on dementia Oo

[jolly aspen]

Oh?

[half girder]

on chatgpt you can rely back on former questions... copilot ignores that completly as it would have never given that question

[upper minnow]

Hows deepseek on it

[clever meadow]

Copilot is so much better than ChatGPT??

[half girder]

didnt try that one yet, might do that tomorrow, need to be productive and not playin around ^^

[split compass]

Yeah, some team broke a linux install.
They spent a day and bit breaking it further trying to recover.
Next morning someone pulls me into the Teams chat.

I take over.
Deploy some supporting infrastructure in the adjacent subnet.
Roll out a fix.
Explain the issue.

The person who broke it, who couldn't fix it in 30 hours, when I fixed in it 30 minutes, replied to the explanation with. "I have my doubts. I'll talk to my colleagues about it."

Like, bish, please, you just proved you have no concept what you did.

[quick blaze]

where do these people get their egos from man

[jolly aspen]

Maybe just pipe their messages to ChatGPT and they can chat about it

[upper minnow]

I wish i was this confident

[wary ocean]

have him break it again and respond with "you got this big dog"

[split compass]

Regular occurence for me, the being brought in and fixing in minutes what others failed in hours.
It's why my role exists.

But pretty audacious to question the cause and repair after it was so succinctly demonstrated.

[jolly aspen]

But in that 90’s way where you shout “big dog” kinda like a bark

[loud marlin]

who knows, knows 🙂

[split compass]

I was nice enough to change my first sentence in my response to "I have my doubts".
Changing that once sentence switched the tone from disdain, to educator 😄

Then provided instructions on how to recreate intentionally, and how to repair.

[gritty olive]

What about 1password?

[chilly veldt]

Ehhhhh

[quick blaze]

its expensive....?

[full wave]

for try hack me u can cancel the monthly purchase anytime

[gritty olive]

Anyone using grapheneos or calyxos?

[chilly veldt]

I use graphene, but why you asking?

[loud marlin]

i have graphene on pixel

[quick blaze]

any advantages to it? not really familiar with mobile OS'

[oblique furnace]

i used to use it, on chromium it's pretty good

but on firefox it's borderline unusable

[chilly veldt]

privacy minded

[oblique furnace]

im trying to switch to proton pass

since i use proton mail now

[gritty olive]

I am using it with brave browser

[chilly veldt]

ew brave

[oblique furnace]

yeah it's pretty good

[oblique furnace]

i used to use it

[quick blaze]

just use chrome :3

[oblique furnace]

aside from the crypto bullshit, it's pretty good

[oblique furnace]

i'd rather die

[quick blaze]

oh.

[chilly veldt]

firefox >>>>>

[gritty olive]

You use mullvad i believe

[oblique furnace]

^^this

[quick blaze]

i like chrome..

[chilly veldt]

mullvad, bitwarden, grapheneOS, arch, firefox, kagi and duckduckgo

[quick blaze]

well at least the look of it.

[chilly veldt]

that's my setup

[oblique furnace]

why ddg

brave browser is bad but brave search is unironically better then any other

i use on firefox with no issues

[chilly veldt]

kagi is much better

[oblique furnace]

never heard of it

[gritty olive]

Duckduckgo not safe anymore,, use brave search, start page

[oblique furnace]

yeah account required, no thanks

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @chilly veldt (current: #8 - 950)

[chilly veldt]

I use duckduckgo for work, so don't really care about safety there

[oblique furnace]

WHY DID I GIVE REP

[gritty olive]

Searxng

[oblique furnace]

this

[jolly aspen]

You said the magic word

[oblique furnace]

yeah

[opaque flax]

magic words do things

[oblique furnace]

i'm with stupid

[chilly veldt]

that's fair, it's just better search engine and I don't mind paying for it

[gritty olive]

Brave is fine

Signal is better messenger, who else agrees?

[dark mason]

Not me

Seems like a hassle to get everyone on board

• whatsapp is better in a lot of ways

[oblique furnace]

this

[oblique furnace]

now thats not true

telegram is better

[gritty olive]

You use session?

[oblique furnace]

i use more then anything else

[dark mason]

Same problem

[oblique furnace]

bad

[gritty olive]

Nooo way

[chilly veldt]

signal is the only thing I use

[oblique furnace]

based

[gritty olive]

Telegram is not safe

[oblique furnace]

ik signal is more based

i use telegram cuz all my tech friends use it

im forced to use whatsapp for irl's tho

[chilly veldt]

for sending messages regarding info that require that amount of privacy

[chilly veldt]

also, please give source on why duckduckgo is not good anymore?

[oblique furnace]

discord is for my normie online friends

[gritty olive]

Do your own research , don’t believe whatever is said

[oblique furnace]

telegram's encryption isn't good

but holy shit

the gold i found there is unmatched

info, communities, friends, bots

i even use it as my music playlist

and that's not a joke

[dark mason]

Nope

[dark mason]

Tor is based

[chilly veldt]

also Ray, you said something about proton, have you read the newest proton news?

[rapid merlin]

I haven’t either

[oblique furnace]

(i only listen to RFP/VGM)

[jolly aspen]

A bit paradoxical no?

[rapid merlin]

Everyone has graphene on pixel ?

[loud marlin]

hmm... smth new, not so "great" happened ?

[rapid merlin]

👀

[chilly veldt]

ye

[oblique furnace]

no

[loud marlin]

link it

[gritty olive]

2022, it was revealed that DuckDuckGo permitted Microsoft trackers on third-party websites due to a contractual agreement.

[chilly veldt]

3 words:
Proton CEO politics

[chilly veldt]

that is their browser that they have made for android, IOS and mac, not their search engine

https://www.reddit.com/r/duckduckgo/comments/uwz5bb/comment/i9usubr/

[oblique furnace]

yeah

[chilly veldt]

response from CEO backing that up^

so since I am just using their search engine and not their specific app, then it's still private

[oblique furnace]

but also their privacy enhancing browser extension

which i actually used before that news

[gritty olive]

Thanks for correcting me, appreciate it , learned something today

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @chilly veldt (current: #8 - 951)

its supposed to block trackers but it allows microsoft trackers

[chilly veldt]

dms

[oblique furnace]

no thx

[split compass]

I have Telegram because it's useful to have it for reasons.
I avoid WhatsApp for reasons.

Hey, did you know if Signal gets subpoena'd for your records the only thing that get submitted to court is the date of your last login, and the date of your initial signup?
And thus far it has withstood all known LEO attempts.

[gritty olive]

What encryption you guys use?

[chilly veldt]

in what way?

[split compass]

Yes

[gritty olive]

For hardisk

[chilly veldt]

bitlocker or luks

[split compass]

LUKS sha512 mostly I think.

[gritty olive]

Veracrypt is good?

[chilly veldt]

it's eh

[eternal timber]

Mmmm I liked it tbh. At least what I covered

[split compass]

It was forked originally from Truecrypt which was a great project, but the project got abandoned shortly after 3rd part audits that revealed no significant failures, it did find one uncommon access method that could leave you vulnerable to revealing keys in memory.

I think the proliferation of BitLocker signaled the end of that project though.

Veracrypt has been doing a reasonable job of keeping the faith is my understanding, but I've not used it in years.

[gritty olive]

I will check it out

[gray sonnet]

Yeah they’re shit

Thats why you got platforms like zomato and swiggy(google them) here

[blazing granite]

do you want fries with that? 😂

@gray sonnet 👋 how are you?

[gray sonnet]

Yo yo yo, I'm doing just fine, how are you doing lately rex?

[rapid merlin]

Hi everyone Hi everyone
I need someone knows how hack Android

[naive violet]

Hack android?

[split compass]

That's a very broad topic, as is "knows how to hack" anything.
I'm guessing you mean to say you have a device you're locked out of ?

[blazing granite]

nothing new still in Argentina, still sucks, now that feb started I'll see if I can speed thing up with the lawyers, but it could be worst so I can't complain 🙂

[acoustic minnow]

hi, i want to learn RCE. where can i start or any good resources please?

[rapid merlin]

I want to know the steps that I can follow and some tools dedicated to hacking Android

[naive violet]

That's way too broad a topic

[split compass]

Start in Beginner's rooms, build strong fundamentals, several rooms do cover a variety of RCE type vulns, but understanding them requieres foundation.

[naive violet]

RCE is the destination

The journey can be a million different roads

[acoustic minnow]

I want to learn more about finding zero day vuln and exploit dev and maybe some techniques i guess im not really sure idk much abt it

[naive violet]

What's the context here? Android apps? Kernel exploitation? What are you trying to do?

[naive violet]

If you want to do binex, I'd suggest Pwn college

[rapid merlin]

It's funny the talent that small towns spawn.

[rapid merlin]

Just tell me what tools I should use in these stages. Network scanning, threat modulation, vulnerability analysis, and Post exploit

[high mulch]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-robot-elliot-alderson-ice-cream-gif-26525861

[naive violet]

None of those are kernel exploitation.
Phones get patched. None of these are normal off the shelf things other than network scanning.
What's your end goal here?

[split compass]

Hmmm...

[naive violet]

There's not shortcuts in learning hacking. It's hard work.

[eternal timber]

Mr Robot spoiler: ||crazy that we don’t know what Elliot actually looks like||

[high mulch]

[rapid merlin]

So can you suggest me an effective and guaranteed way to hack phones?

[rapid merlin]

Yeah it is

[rapid merlin]

I am rewatching it atm second episode in

that's not how hacking works

[high mulch]

n o i i c e

[eternal timber]

Use a machete

[acoustic minnow]

there are many ways and its not just one simple tool or tools and you're in

[opaque flax]

kernel exploitation doesnt happen with tools on a patched phone lol

[pallid lotus]

Let's not help with the malicious hacking 🙂

[rapid merlin]

Currently at my desk with music on trying to find motivation. I’m so sick and sleepy but I don’t want to be bored

[acoustic minnow]

im not, just saying

[rapid merlin]

Ahhh

[high mulch]

You have to give me your CC information, with the 3 numbers in the back of it.
I will forward some motivation after that. ||jk||

[naive violet]

There isn't one. Are you trying to hack a phone?

[rapid merlin]

My bank literally has 30p in it

You can’t even buy a chocolate bar

[eternal timber]

It’s a public server bud

[split compass]

I should get an image of it up on my instagram ^^

It's a little dragon that looks a lot like the one my daughter wore a leather corsage of for her grade 8 graduation.
It's clinging to her favourite flower.

Her name means small winged one. So a pretty obvious dedication tattoo 😄

[silver sky]

I genuinely joined mid-way and didn't see the naughtiness. My apologies

I didn’t see anything sketchy tbf

I was distracted

you're not in headache group, administrator will be informed 😉

this will be reported to the headache administrator

Hey! I'm learning cyber.. also learning to use discord (started here with tryhackme)
any advise? I'm looking for help/advices during learning process. A friend gave me a task to try to deal with by myself (learning/practice).
Question: where would I look for official info about security hardening for windows servers? (type is optional)
if this type of questions is not for this room please tell me where. Appreciate very much any help

[grizzled wing]

oh ok, but the bloody war game was ?

[silver sky]

Tbf it's not that bloody!

Half Life back in the day was bloody!

[grizzled wing]

Bond 007 level or Mortal Kombat levels are what i am used to

Street Fighter level is also what i am used to

[naive violet]

Mortal Kombat! That's beyond the gore in many games

[topaz topaz]

Mortal kombat broke many norms when it comes to violence in videogames

Even the first one

[grizzled wing]

the old school version, not the gross new ones

[gritty olive]

Hi

[grizzled wing]

that game was banned, same with Simpson back then

4th Savio hello i have seen today

[topaz topaz]

Can't lie I feel like gore is a great way to showcase strength in a character, as long as the atmosphere allows that is

[topaz topaz]

Hmmmmm...

[gritty olive]

Haha

[split compass]

Hmm, guess it's time to retire this microwave 😢

At least I'll be able to salvage some fun parts for weird experiments 😄

[grizzled wing]

like putting computer parts like scenes in mr robot?

[naive violet]

Please be very very careful

Very high voltage parts, toxic ceramics, etc

[whole yew]

Don't go poking the capacitors with anything

[grizzled wing]

i see that "Browser Syncjacking" is a new tactic

[topaz topaz]

How can one safely dismantle a microwave? Where would you even find the resources for that

[naive violet]

If you're reasonably knowledgeable about electronics repair and understand the hazards of beryllium oxide you're probably fine

[topaz topaz]

Keyword "probably" cause things always can go wrong

[naive violet]

I know how to safely discharge capacitors, and deal with BeO

[topaz topaz]

I don't know that yet 💔

[naive violet]

For BeO - don't break the ceramics, in a lump it's fine but the dust gets everywhere and is toxic

[silver sky]

Or just don't play with microwaves

Just dispose of it properly

[naive violet]

For caps, unplug from wall, discharge through high power resistor.
Wait a while.
Measure voltage and discharge again.
N.b. this is not safety advise. Do not play with high voltages or toxic substances unless you know what you're doing

[naive violet]

Man I got a license to play with microwaves

[topaz topaz]

That's a difficult option

[silver sky]

I trust you with that stuff. Others not so much

[dark mason]

James, random question, how do you get the contributor role?

[naive violet]

Fun fact, capacitors can recharge themsepves after being discharged due to electrolyte absorption

[naive violet]

I built a lot of content for the site

So got passthrough working on my Qube, but not Opencl working in the specific Qube that I have Kali in. I think this is more an OS config issue. I'll have to poke through the specifics.

Also, while poking around at solutions, side adventure.

sVirt looks pretty interesting/promising.

[blazing granite]

https://tenor.com/view/skillissue-skill-issue-gif-22125481

😂

[split compass]

Not wrong 😛

[blazing granite]

I have my qubes abandon, not much time to play with it, I have more pressing issues ATM

[split compass]

It's a weird setup because it's using the FC kernel provided by Qubes.
Since I only have 10Mb Internet I don't feel like starting a new Qube from scratch right now.

But if the only thing I don't have working right now is the graphics card acceleration for hash cracking. Not a terrible place to be at.

[blazing granite]

Qubes is not an easy OS has so many nooks and crannies

[split compass]

Yeah, I do a lot of virtualization and hyperscaler stuff, and linux support etc. at day job.
So playing with Qubes has actually been a rather significant boon to my learning.

Playing with this Qube in particular though has me wanting to 1) Get this working a little better/understood a little better.

2. Play with Qubes Server.

One of the scenarios I support is driver development.
And if I could make an easy interface for the access just to the spawned Template, I could make some very usable testing systems.

[blazing granite]

yes, I friend that is in cybersec and know I'm a Linux man told me about qubes back in 2012, I've been dipping my toes every since, but I never went fully into it, so many thing so little time 🙂

[round flax]

If a room doesn’t provide an attack box or login user credentials, is it safe to say it wasn’t intended to be accessed via my own machine and I should just use the included machine from the website? Or am I expected to be practice what I’ve learned thus far and gain access via exploit?

[split compass]

And Xen is just one more hypervisor to understand the nuances of, and the qvm ontop of it.

[blazing granite]

I have a intel i7 noc with 64gb with qubes 🙂

[cloud quiver]

Which room 🙂 ?

[round flax]

JavaScript essentials

[split compass]

Not every room will have an attack target machine.
Some are just informational/training.
Some present just a website.
But other than that, any that spawn a room vm and provide you the room IP, can probably be interacted with in some meaningful way from either an Attackbox or personal VM.

[cloud quiver]

Yeah , in this room you only need the provided machine 🙂

no need for AttackBox or exploitation

[round flax]

What I thought. I mean I wouldn’t put it past THM to say, “here’s easy access to the room to study the next set of materials…. But if you want you can try to break in” 🤣

[split compass]

When I'm uncertain what type of room they're trying to present me, I skip down and read the questions.

hackersploit

idk if he is still making videos

[woeful cedar]

I see

I'll check him out

[fervent ruin]

u have David Bombal

he has some good info, but i think it will depend on what u trying to learn

[jolly aspen]

do enough rooms and youll see that name around thm too

[fervent ruin]

youtube videos will give you basic info about something, you dont actually learn anything

its like trying to explain to a kid how things work

on youtube you will learn how to use some script, how to create some script, u dont learn how the script works

maybe there are some youtube channels that u can actually learn, but , the majority is like teaching kids and getting views

I am worrying they will charge me because it says free trial

[chilly veldt]

It's without payment, so you can't get charged, you just have a license key that works for 60 days

[full wave]

oh ok so u can still use it without the free trial so what wiil I lost access to then?

[chilly veldt]

Your account will be locked after the free trial

As in you'll lose access to their features etc.

[full wave]

oh so I won't be able to use splunk

[chilly veldt]

Yeah, after the 60 days you would be prompted to pay

But for learning, the 60 days are enough tbh
Otherwise they also have splunk free which is a full free version, but some of the features of enterprise is gone and you can only put in 500mb of data in one ingest

[west flint]

A glass of tap water is undoubtedly the best starter for a day 🙂

[rapid merlin]

My cat starts purring if you talk to him from across the room

[rapid merlin]

It’s more sugar and cream than coffee

What’s the actual percentage of coffee in Starbucks

[graceful mauve]

I'll talk to him about hacking and he'll run away 😂

[graceful mauve]

Enough to be considered coffee

[chilly veldt]

1-2 espresso shots

which is the same as any other barista place

[pliant onyx]

Yall ever feel like, "Why can't I solve this room in 1 minute?"

[rapid merlin]

Weird I can’t find any answer on google for my usual which would be the white girl special. Caramel coffee frap 😂

[graceful mauve]

Yes, and then I re-read it

[sick lance]

Obviously don't go swimming in frozen lochs/lakes. 😄

[rapid merlin]

I love em but I’m not spending a fiver on coffee

[gleaming grove]

I wake up, drink a glass of water, have a cup of coffee, and go for a run 🏃💨

[chilly veldt]

only coffee I drink is the one at work

[rapid merlin]

I can’t drink coffee like that anymore

Too strong

Will make me shaky

[west flint]

where is live there is no snow

[graceful mauve]

I find it gives me better typing speed

[chilly veldt]

it's a 2 shot latte

[slow cloud]

coffee at work is best

at home it suck

[near sapphire]

Do you guys prefer a hot or cold shower

[rapid merlin]

I used to say the opposite

[slow cloud]

in between

[rapid merlin]

The normal coffee is better made by me

[graceful mauve]

Coffee in general is the way to go, you need your own custom espresso maker

[rapid merlin]

I used to drink so much of it back in the day

[slow cloud]

i had that with energy drinks

[near sapphire]

Your starbucks dont serve things like americano?

[rapid merlin]

Now I drink tea

[rapid merlin]

I don’t drink that

I’m looking at writing a software

Started researching last night

[graceful mauve]

What language?

[wooden totem]

Room temperature

If that room was in Sahara

[rapid merlin]

Python

[graceful mauve]

I could give you some ideas

I'm mastering bash atm

[chilly veldt]

it may have like 1 shot of coffee which is blended in, a typical frappucino, something like strawberries and cream, doesn't have coffee in it at all

[rapid merlin]

Oh I already know what I’m doing but thank you very much

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @graceful mauve (current: #515 - 11)

[graceful mauve]

That's alright

What are you working on?

[rapid merlin]

I’ve never had strawberries and cream

[rapid merlin]

It’s a malware hunter

On nom nom

Gib me that malware

[graceful mauve]

Oh so it just searches for malware?

[rapid merlin]

I don’t want to say much more than that

😅

Ehhh

[graceful mauve]

Time to download all the malicious hashes from virustotal and other popular databases

[pallid lotus]

Good luck...

[graceful mauve]

I've made an SQL generator, proxy chaining, race conditions, puppeteering websites, among others in python

[rapid merlin]

That is actually what I need

[graceful mauve]

What do you mean?

[rapid merlin]

But I need an isolated environment

[graceful mauve]

Ahh, you can use docker for that

[pliant onyx]

I was so happy when I got my own room

[rapid merlin]

Throw the whole auto correct in the bin

[graceful mauve]

Docker in a VM or cloud instance

[rapid merlin]

I hate this phone

😂

[pallid lotus]

Docker is not a security boundary (or, shouldn't be used as one).
Docker in a VM is better.
Malware in Docker in a cloud instance is likely to breach ToS

[sick lance]

I don't know a single cloud platform that would allow it.

[pallid lotus]

There's a hell of a lot of it, and they're unlikely to like you scraping the samples.

[graceful mauve]

Not if you download the hashes and install them on your host machine?

The malicious hashes can be stored in a cloud instsnce

[pallid lotus]

Best bet would be the VXUnderground hard disk

[graceful mauve]

Does that go against tos?

[pallid lotus]

Oh, you're literally meaning the hashes?

Like, not the actual samples?

[sick lance]

I tihnk VX has closed their downloads for now.

[pallid lotus]

Have they stopped shipping their physical disks?

[graceful mauve]

Yes, to refer to the malware and then pull the actual file associated with the hash off of online resources

[rapid merlin]

But if someone else has it downloaded could it be copied

[graceful mauve]

I don't understand, does that go against tos?

[pallid lotus]

Then yeah, no one is going to object to you storing hashes on a cloud instance 🤷‍♂️

[graceful mauve]

My point

[sick lance]

You're relying on somebody giving you the copy VX give.

[rapid merlin]

👁️👄👁️

[pallid lotus]

End of the day though, this is what VirusTotal is for.
If you want a way to just grab a sample by hash, that's one of their main purposes.

Get a license, and job done.

[graceful mauve]

They want to play with the malware

[rapid merlin]

Oh

[pallid lotus]

Your point?

[rapid merlin]

😂

[graceful mauve]

Or do you not want to play with the malware? @rapid merlin

[rapid merlin]

Not exactly

I want my malware to play with the malware

☺️

Heh

Along those lines

[graceful mauve]

Ahh fun

[rapid merlin]

Which is what I want to create

[graceful mauve]

Well you need a kernel level driver for that

It's not easy, how do you plan to do it in python?

Python doesn't communicate with hardware, does it?

[rapid merlin]

You do bug bounty ?

👁️👁️

[pallid lotus]

... Pardon?

[graceful mauve]

Yeah, but it doesn't really mean much

Plus I'm more web focussed

[graceful mauve]

You want to code a kernel level driver in python now?

[rapid merlin]

I have just noticed those eyes do not match up

[chilly veldt]

say what now?

[pallid lotus]

Why do you need a kernel driver here...?

[graceful mauve]

For a program to communicate with hardware??
