general

[real lichen]

yeah i have seen the THM reviews

[round orbit]

I use Obsidian Publish

[cloud quiver]

Not really , they don't have any value on job market 😦

[sinful moon]

They’re a stepping stone for learning and getting professionally recognized certs, THM certs would make a HR reviewer go “whats’ that”

[round orbit]

Obsidian.MD is one of the nicest note taking apps I’ve ever used

[rapid merlin]

damn, thanks for answering

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @cloud quiver (current: #2 - 2924)

[round orbit]

Thanks @round orbit

Damn

[rapid merlin]

damn, so basically they are obsolete unless u find that one in a million job provider?

[real lichen]

when it come to a technical job like that if you can really prove you know your stuff they will hire you

[round orbit]

Is it okay to take your notes into the interview?

[sinful moon]

There’re not “obsolete” they’re just not professionally recognized certs. These are steps in your learning to motivate you

[real lichen]

you are going to get quized over the phone interview by their lead guy

[rapid merlin]

good point, kinda motivates me seeing all the badges and stuff

thx for brightening me

[real lichen]

just know your material for whatever possition you are going for

practice practice

you can also get this cert CompTIA Server+

[round orbit]

I have almost 28,000 notes. Can’t remember everything always

[real lichen]

this is an official certification to be a server admin

[sinful moon]

Yeah THM is a great motivator about almost “gamifying” your learning in that way

[real lichen]

get your foot in the door

you can go to barnes and noble and get a book for the CompTIA Server+ certification

for anyone who is interested in also getting this

[real lichen]

i love THM

[fringe nacelle]

Try Hack Me is imo the best for beginners. I've recently transitioned into HTB and it doesn't hold back it's punches lol, but it's been good learning on both platforms

[real lichen]

i was looking at HTB just havent started it yet

[mellow narwhal]

Maybe the upcoming certification(s) 👀

[sinful moon]

Yeah while HTB does have their “Academy” imho it’s best just to do THM and then get into HTB CTFs

[mellow narwhal]

If you're just starting out, THM is better

[fringe nacelle]

Yup

[mellow narwhal]

HTB has their standards way higher

[real lichen]

what kind of prereqs we talking about?

[sinful moon]

and a significantly more juvenile less welcoming community

[mellow narwhal]

That being said, you use both for optimized learning, not one or the other

[mellow narwhal]

LOL yes

agreed

[fringe nacelle]

Yeah it's definitely more of an ego inflate there

[mellow narwhal]

dont let them know we said that

[real lichen]

lol

[mellow narwhal]

the standards for beginners are just higher

for example, one of their "easy" AD boxes was a bit medium-hard for me

[sinful moon]

lol I am friends with one of the admins, but yeah there’s a reason I chat here far more significantly despite doing a vast majority of THM content, although that its self is an ever moving goal post

I need to catch up to the new ranks lol

[real lichen]

well cuz as i go through im basically just memorizing commands ive never seen. i understand how it all works

[fringe nacelle]

Here's an instance. Find the User and Root.

[mellow narwhal]

all challenges there are fullpwn

[sinful moon]

well two things for that, repetition by doing the commands on rooms you know where it would be useful even when THM doesn’t ask you to, and note taking

[fringe nacelle]

There are writeups you can follow, but expect to be on a box for hours.

[sinful moon]

like nmap every THM room where it makes sense

[real lichen]

right

i have been doing all the free rooms so far in order

[sinful moon]

that sort of thing just gets you in the habbit and you’ll develop your own playbook for which to apply to CTFs

[mellow narwhal]

anybody here doing their CA 2025 CTF? 👀

[fringe nacelle]

The htb one? Or something else

[real lichen]

just finished network services 2

thm

[carmine tinsel]

I gotta say that as a THM newbie it’s been very beginner friendly so far

[mellow narwhal]

yes

[real lichen]

everything is really easy to follow i need to just go ahead and pay for it lol

[mellow narwhal]

cyber apocalypse

[carmine tinsel]

Oh yes the one downside is that this site is basically freemium 😭

[mellow narwhal]

wdym?

[mellow gull]

The majority of THM's content is free.

[fringe nacelle]

Yeah I'm signed up with my team. I got 42 days to git gud for it hahahaha

[carmine tinsel]

As someone who tried to stick to not buying premium for a bit, I just found it annoying that VM usage was limited to 1 hour a day

[real lichen]

there are a bunch of really good rooms that are not free

[mellow gull]

It's 100% free if you use your own VM

No time limit

[real lichen]

i have my own attack kali linux VM im running

[mellow narwhal]

It costs a lot, especially given that one hour per user per day is quite expensive on its own.

[carmine tinsel]

I tried setting up the VPN but got annoyed halfway through

[real lichen]

no limit on that

install virtual box

[mellow gull]

openVPN is relatively straightforward, but it can be a little annoying at first

[real lichen]

it is the thm setup was super easy

no need to modify config or anything

[mellow narwhal]

I might be doing solo. There's no way I'm getting through the hard ones though

[carmine tinsel]

Ah it’s ok, I don’t really regret buying premium anyway

[mellow narwhal]

Yeah its fun

Try out some networks while you're at it

good practice for OSCP/CPTS and such

[real lichen]

im still free and im on it for hours straight they dont limit the time that the target machine can run they only limit the attack box. you need to setup your own Kali Linux VM on your computer

[fringe nacelle]

I wish you luck. The team I'm with has been helping me grow more everyday, so hopefully I can be of some use haha

[mellow narwhal]

Thanks, best of luck to you too

Great learning experience overall

[sinful moon]

Yeah just run your own VM for sure. Or go tryhard like me and have a pentesting VPS lol

[carmine tinsel]

That’s a good idea, I do have kali installed but I haven’t really used it all that much

[real lichen]

thats the only way to go really

THM has a page that shows you how to VPN to their network with your own VM

and NetworkChuck on youtube will show you exactly how to get your own kali VM up and running (For those who have never done such a thing)

[sinful moon]

but lol both are absolutely trivial, but indeed

[real lichen]

they are if you have done it before it is super easy

[sinful moon]

sorry I’m getting sleepy and a bit more dismissive rather than my normal helpful self lol

[real lichen]

lol

[sinful moon]

I do have decades of VM and Linux experience so I should hush

[real lichen]

yeah definetly not for you lol

[sinful moon]

but even the OpenVPN is literally just sudo openvpn UserName.ovpn… and done

[real lichen]

last year i wired my dads whole office and talked him into buying a used server

[mellow narwhal]

decades

I have <1 year of VM experience lol

[carmine tinsel]

Decades is crazy

[sinful moon]

It’s closer to 17 years but that sounds more epic

[mellow narwhal]

indeed it does

[carmine tinsel]

Ngl I get shocked when I see people here claiming to be experts bc I’m just a random hobbyist 💀

[real lichen]

she is the one to ask about proxmox and kubernetes and containers probably

[mellow narwhal]

Everybody are experts

[sinful moon]

No worries, we all started at the same spot

[fringe nacelle]

Back in my day

[sinful moon]

I run Proxmox on my Dell PowerEdge T430 with dual xeons and 256GB of RAM c:

you asked for it lol

[real lichen]

nice im gonna do it to the windows server i got at the office

[sinful moon]

sweet c:

Yeah I ran ESXi/vSphere until Broadcom screwed over even homelab users finally

[real lichen]

put a real hyper-visor on there and get some real stuff going

they locked it out?

[sinful moon]

for VMUG Advantage, it used to be you’d pay $200 a year for a license to every single VMware product under the sun. Now you have to pay both that… but earn one of two VMware certificates to even qualify for the licenses

[mellow narwhal]

there's this WILD bug bounty report which is hilarious, but idk if I should share it here 🤣
the issue description had me laughing for an hour this morning

[sinful moon]

how to you learn for the certs without the licenses lol

(this is for personal use only to be clear)

[real lichen]

got it

[carmine tinsel]

I wanna laugh

[fringe nacelle]

I mean I use VMware pro, but I didn't do it through the Broadcom way

[mellow narwhal]

It would break the rules

[mellow narwhal]

It's free?

[carmine tinsel]

oh🙃

[sinful moon]

Only reason I even considered that, was because we use PowerEdges with ESXi/vSphere at work and I setup my homelab just before Broadcom bought them out

[real lichen]

tell us how to find it is it on hackerone?

[mellow narwhal]

sec, I can blur out

[real lichen]

oh its for a naughty site im guessing??

[mellow narwhal]

yeah lol

[sinful moon]

VMware Workstation Pro is now free yes, but you have to jump through Broadcom’s awful sites to do so

[fringe nacelle]

Technically no?

[sinful moon]

don’t ask Keith what he meant lol

[mellow narwhal]

Yeah this ^^

I'd heard it was free

[sinful moon]

shh

just needs an account

[mellow narwhal]

👀

tell me tell me tell me

[fringe nacelle]

Oops

[sinful moon]

there were always ways lol, but we won’t speak of that

doesn’t matter when it’s free now

[real lichen]

lol

i knew thats what he meant

"Other ways"

[mellow gull]

For the mere price of your sanity and soul

[fringe nacelle]

Yes 🙂

[sinful moon]

I do miss the old VMware, I was actually a pretty vocal advocate for them, but Broadcom burnt every bridge and then some

But I had Proxmox, qemu/kvm, virt-manager before, so this is more like coming back home for me lol

[real lichen]

so you prefer proxmox for its open source aspects and its pretty awesome but which paid one do you prefer??

[sinful moon]

but lol Microsoft Virtual PC 2006 was my first VM app

[real lichen]

lol wow

[sinful moon]

Proxmox

[real lichen]

i was barely of age lol

the paid version of proxmox is the cats meow in your opinion?

[sinful moon]

VMware/Broadcom screwed us over professionally as well, and my boss was understandably pissed. I recommmended Proxmox paid if we even want to go foward with on-prem

[mellow narwhal]

I actually had the concept of a VM in my mind before I knew they existed, I kept thinking "It would be cool if there was a software which allows us to use a computer inside a computer". I was so happy when I discovered VMs last year

[real lichen]

either that or just go cloud baby

lol

[mellow narwhal]

cloud is nice

plus you get free student credits from azure and aws to host vms on cloud

[real lichen]

everyone big makes sense to go cloud for scalability

[sinful moon]

only other real alternative is XCP-ng which is Xen based and… Xen virtualization is kind of a dying breed

[mellow narwhal]

i've wondered what does "ng" stand for

aircrack-ng, ligolo-ng, xcp-ng

[sinful moon]

it always stands for Next Generation

almost universally

[mellow narwhal]

ahh makes sense lol

star trek tng

[real lichen]

lol

[sinful moon]

mhmm

[mellow gull]

aircrack-NG+

[mellow narwhal]

aircrack-ng++

[sinful moon]

Until they realize how much it costs and it means instead of running it on-prem or in your datacenter… you’re just running it in someone else’s datacenter for most cost lol

[mellow narwhal]

waiting for aircrack-ng#

[mellow gull]

aircrack-ng any%

[fringe nacelle]

Curious if anyone in here has played Greyhack 👀

[mellow gull]

Not yet, only Hacknet and BitBurner

[sinful moon]

Uplink is the true OG

[mellow narwhal]

are these real hacking games or just those "hacking" fiction simulators?

[real lichen]

can you really compare when you account for the extra employees you have to hire and the cost of equipment and power??

[fringe nacelle]

The latter pretty sure

[mellow gull]

Mostly the latter.

Though BitBurner is more of a programming game, really

[real lichen]

bro bitburner is amazing!!!

have you broken free from the first world yet???

[sinful moon]

I have deployed some “cloud resources” at work, but lol theyre just Linux VPSes I spun up running Docker Compose stuff I setup and etc lol

[mellow gull]

I only touch it every so often (focused more on actual stuff now) but no

[sinful moon]

makes me sound and look very impressive tho

[mellow gull]

Don't play nearly as many games as I used to

[sinful moon]

(they’re too small to justify k8s, don’t even ask)

[real lichen]

lol

[mellow narwhal]

guys look at me I'm a real hacker 😎

[sinful moon]

ooh trigger SCRAM via the SCADA

[mellow narwhal]

[sinful moon]

won

[fringe nacelle]

Hack The planet!

[real lichen]

on bitburner im almost ascended from my 2nd node that i chose

that game is crazy

[sinful moon]

Alright goodnight all, it’s almost 4am. Even though I have tomorrow off I’m wiped. Time for 1987 episodes of The Computer Chronicles to chill to

I am just stress testing the THM instance

seems good

so excited for people to try it lol

I will start making a writeup

[mellow narwhal]

congrats!

[mellow narwhal]

how are you doing this btw?

firing LOIC at it from another machine?

[shadow loom]

no no no

Like i am running nmap and fuzzing directories at the same time

regular stuff that users will probably do

[mellow narwhal]

ah

[shadow loom]

to make sure it wont crash

[mellow narwhal]

wouldn't LOIC be more effective to make sure it doesn't crash?

[shadow loom]

i dont think thats a good idea

[mellow narwhal]

idk, I've never created a machine before

[mellow narwhal]

makes sense

[shadow loom]

yep, probably against tos

do you want to try it? i can DM it to you

I showed you my bind shell I don't have to answer

[pliant onyx]

You're the value to my key

[paper swan]

oh god I remember when I was 12 and I made my home computer the main control server for a silly virus 😭 no proxies or anything, what I did with it was not changing my school grades, even when it was on my teachers computers, I actually trolled my teachers instead, blocking mouse/kb, when someone came over, I'd unblock it, when teacher was running a presentation I'd switch the slides heh...

I'd troll my classmates in IT class too 😭

[mellow gull]

I think it's better if we just shake hands.

[mellow narwhal]

When you were 12??

[pliant onyx]

When you were 12??

[pliant onyx]

[paper swan]

there were very simple scripting languages back then like AutoIT, it wasn't a sophisticated virus at all

[mellow narwhal]

You're the CSS to my HTML

I remember I made a fake VM using some LLM model (pre-chatgpt) and let others use it, people would get hella confused and I loved seeing them struggle doing things like rm -rf / xD

they would later on figure it out

[mellow narwhal]

Only just started!

I asked ChatGPT to generate a valentine's day hacker poem 🤣

one sec

`I tried to scan your heart, but it was dropping ICMP,
My ping packets returned TTL=1—just not meant to be.
I ran a Nmap sweep, but your ports were all closed,
It’s like you’d hidden your secrets where no one could expose.

Tried a SQLi injection, but your filters were tight,
Your input sanitization kept everything right.
I brute-forced your love with my dictionary,
But your account lockout made it feel temporary.

I tried to Metasploit in, but your patches were fresh,
EDR on high alert, my payload couldn’t mesh.
I thought I’d gain access with a reverse shell,
But your session timeout made that plan fail.

I traced your heart's network, but your route was obscure,
With a well-defined ACL, I couldn’t find a door.
I tried to XSS your smile, but no script would run,
Your CSP was strict, so my attack was undone.

I scanned for RCE, but your OS was locked down,
No privilege escalation to be found.
I even tried to exfiltrate through the cloud,
But your DLP caught me—your defenses are proud.

But don’t worry, my love, I won’t quit this test,
I’ll find a zero-day to exploit your chest.
For every firewall and honeypot you deploy,
I’ll break through with persistence—and a bit of joy.`

Got so bored; I thought I would make a tutorial on installing kali linux (starting a yt channel since I'm going to be making offsec/blueteaming related content I thought a good first video would be on installing kali) - I think for a tutorial I've went overkill..

[near sapphire]

How to install kali- click Download

[rapid merlin]

Quite literally.

It's just a video of me installing kali w a rigged 3d space camera + mortals slapped onto it

alot of motion for a tutorial

[polar shale]

Minus aura for using kali

[mellow gull]

Had to do it all on my phone

[rapid merlin]

Do you want to see a pre render of the video? (short demo without the past 8 hours of editing I've added to it)

[paper swan]

my guesses would've been Luss Beach, Balloch, Milarrochy Bay

[polar shale]

Sure

[mellow gull]

Scrubz was nice enough to leave the Maid as a landmark in the background, albeit only a little visible

There's also the curved road and the pier that gave it away

[rapid merlin]

Should I post here or dms? (If posting the video here won't result in a moderation issues I'm happy to post here)

[polar shale]

I dont think anyone would mind if you posted here but i am not sure about that

[high abyss]

where to get superviser team privilige at

[mellow gull]

What are you talking about?

[rapid merlin]

I guess we'll see: keep in mind: there are several things I've fixed in this preview, the final (post render of where I am currently) will have improvements to the clarity of text and sfx for some other additional stuff.

[high abyss]

for the machine

[high abyss]

oh oops

[rapid merlin]

That's not a NTLM Hash!

[high abyss]

didnt realise

[rapid merlin]

That's the exploit you're going to use in msf!

[high abyss]

IDK WHAT IS 😭

[mellow gull]

It's explained pretty strongly in the walkthrough

[near sapphire]

I still not tiredd

https://tenor.com/view/baby-crazy-hyper-when-the-gif-23555540

[mellow gull]

After you gain a shell you perform a hash dump in meterpreter and you get it from that

[high abyss]

is it the guide

[mellow gull]

Yeah all that text on the left hand side is a guide that teaches you how this all works.

[rapid merlin]

That's alright! That's what learning is for, whenever you come across an NTLM Hash try to make associations where you can.

[blissful snow]

is CWE 441 in a bug bounty something I should report or should i keep looking

[half girder]

someone into ebnf? 🙂

[blissful snow]

whats that

[half girder]

pseudo language for grammars

[blissful snow]

oh

[blissful snow]

whats that😭

[half girder]

something like a = ( 0 | 1 ) .. { <a> } and output would be 01101010

well i think, thats why i ask lol .. dr google failed me

[blissful snow]

so < is 0 and a is 1 well

[half girder]

nope .. a is defined as a group which can be 0 or 1 and { } repeats the contents, in that case the group of a which is defined as 0 or 1

[crisp tundra]

Hi all, i'm trying to restrict the normal domain user promoting themself as local administrator in their windows devices. when i try to add the user to "Administrators" group it didn't asked me the credentials. but, i'm sure the logged in user is normal domain user without administrator priv. confirmed via opening cmd as elevated permission. can anyone help me? pls let me know if you need more details.

[half girder]

<a> is just the call of a

[blissful snow]

ah

[half girder]

that theory shit drives me nuts, as someone would use it ..

[blissful snow]

bruh i thought i had something

441 bypass is an actually location

if i do someting $(ls) will it get me in trouble in a bug bounty

or id

[mellow gull]

Depends on the scope of the bug bounty. Please pay special care to read the program's specifications each time, and every time. It's different for every group.

If you're not confident that something falls within the approved boundaries, then just don't do it.

[blissful snow]

they basically told me to do anything along it is within owasp top 10

[mellow gull]

I... Highly doubt that.

[blissful snow]

they gave little detail

[mellow gull]

That would include a lot of stuff that is a big no no in basically any BH scenario

[half girder]

well i think an uname -a would be fine to show a rce works, otherwise there is no proof for .. and this command doesnt really reveal something

or id cmd

[blissful snow]

ok

[half girder]

with ls id be carefull cause you display the file structure

[blissful snow]

that what i was scared of

[half girder]

id and uname are harmless .. user/group id or kernel is harmless

uh double blah

chuckles

[blissful snow]

see with this i fix all errors

no server no vuln

[mellow gull]

If you're trying to prove RCE try to use harmless commands

[blissful snow]

🧠

[blissful snow]

not yet i thought i did

[mellow gull]

Also mods'll get mad at you for breaking rule four

[blissful snow]

whats that

[mellow gull]

Posting harmful content/commands in chat

[blissful snow]

i deleted it sorryyy

[mellow gull]

It's all good but theyre pretty strict about that one in my experience lol so figured I'd tell you

[half girder]

yea they also dont like fork bomb bash cmds .. 🙄

[blissful snow]

i got so happy( it was just hte road name)

[blissful snow]

some people fail for it

i did once

[half girder]

well i have a shirt with it xD

[blissful snow]

with a fork bomb cmd?

[half girder]

[blissful snow]

i wonder how many people fail for it

[wooden totem]

[mellow gull]

Oh my God is it the real 0day!!!?1

[wooden totem]

I wonder how many people actually click on these

[mellow gull]

Enough that it keeps working

[blissful snow]

one of my friends fell for it

i almost did before i got into cybersecurity

[brittle bramble]

Breakfast is served ladies and gentlemen

[blissful snow]

the only reason i didn't fail for it because i didn't use steam

[blissful snow]

i like the cup

[brittle bramble]

Thank you my good fellow

Those hot doggos look absolutely immaculate

I would devour those

[brittle bramble]

Bratwurst, cheddar to be specific

They are unequivocally fucking bussing

As the youth says

[wooden totem]

I ain't gonna lie, the admins should use autobot to block these popular domains from being sent

[mellow gull]

The glizzies are absolutely popping off, as they say?

[brittle bramble]

Indeed

Fire

Lit perhaps

[grim sparrow]

Done!

[mellow gull]

Thanks Hydragryum

[wooden totem]

hydro pass the sacret texts to your bauss

[blissful snow]

people say eating hot dog are gay (i hate high school/ gen z)

[brittle bramble]

And we have the video games

[mellow gull]

[shell nova]

they do, some are bypassed

[mellow gull]

Only if you're not wearing socks

[blissful snow]

you must be rich nintendo games are $60 + lol

[wooden totem]

should prolly be more up to date

[brittle bramble]

wtf lmao

[brittle bramble]

Rich is a strong word, I live comfortably

[blissful snow]

nice

[brittle bramble]

Indubitably

[blissful snow]

I can't wait to get a job

[brittle bramble]

What stops you?

[mellow gull]

Try to keep that energy as the years go by

[blissful snow]

staet id

state id*

[brittle bramble]

Felt this in my soul

[brittle bramble]

Good luck

[wooden totem]

back in my day being called gay meant being cringe

[blissful snow]

gonna be pretty hard

[mellow gull]

A state ID isn't required for a job anywhere I don't think

[brittle bramble]

That’s gau

[mellow gull]

It's just one form of accepted ID

[brittle bramble]

Gay*

Damn it

[mellow gull]

Passport + Birth Cert would be fine too

Or a whole combination of stuff

[wooden totem]

here's your 4chan license my good sir

🙌

[blissful snow]

also if your a virgin your gay for no reason

ima stop now because it feels like im breaking a rule

[wooden totem]

you're

[mellow gull]

Haha get corrected

[blissful snow]

I have to upgrade my grammar.

[mellow gull]

Download more grammar off the internet

[wooden totem]

Almost slipped

[upper minnow]

Its always funny to see gay being used as synonym for happy like some 60 years ago

[mellow gull]

I'm very gay

[upper minnow]

Incongruously gay

[blissful snow]

i must be to at this point

[half girder]

also gaylord was also once a legit firstname 😉

[mellow gull]

How the times change

[upper minnow]

Imagine being the lord of the gays

[blissful snow]

yeah

[mellow gull]

The Lord of the Happy? I'd be quite proud of that title

[blissful snow]

depends on the time period

[blissful snow]

i meant to respond to this

[wooden totem]

Back when "homophile" was common

[wooden totem]

You would need peak happiness to prove your title

[half girder]

hard to tell these days with 172 genders

[pallid lotus]

[wooden totem]

history class

[upper minnow]

173 now

[half girder]

just in that moment one more appeared? 😉

[chilly veldt]

Muiri

[blissful snow]

actually 174 i identify as a unicorn 😌

[chilly veldt]

I can make you dissapointed in me

with one sentence

[pallid lotus]

I don't doubt that

[mossy river]

Avoid transphobic comments here please.

[upper minnow]

Every time someone complains one more is added

[pallid lotus]

What did you do now

[chilly veldt]

I am getting paid for 270 hours of work this month

[half girder]

its not transphobic, its the actual number i just recently read

[pallid lotus]

I mean, at least you're getting paid for them lmao

[chilly veldt]

those are the ones I am getting paid for

[mossy river]

Just because that’s the number you read doesn’t make it any less transphobic 🙂

[wide sparrow]

Can I get anyone whom I can contact personally here or other sites to clear doubts?

[half girder]

so stating a number is transphobic? explain

[blissful snow]

@mossy river can i say stuff like this

[deep geode]

do you guys know writeup or article of this bwapp blind sqli boolean based solutions?

[half girder]

@mossy river

[blissful snow]

its getting worst

[wooden totem]

270 hours seems like a lot, when I was gaming 10 hours a day I had around that in a month

[near sapphire]

what are some reasons that a room would be private

[pallid lotus]

Ooh, thank you!

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @past dew (current: #2656 - 1)

[upper minnow]

As long as its not illegal you can ask here

[grim sparrow]

Done!

[chilly veldt]

it's 9.5 hours every day

[wide sparrow]

No like personally

[pallid lotus]

Aw. I wanted the free gift

[wooden totem]

Someone clicked again lol

[wide sparrow]

I'm kind of getting started,it's been 4-5 months

[blissful snow]

can't we kinda track who clicks it with urlscan.io

[wooden totem]

must be a high pay

[wide sparrow]

I never gave importance to cybersecurity or computer learning,when I had the ryt people around me but now I understand the value but i dont have the people

[pallid lotus]

1. If it's not been released yet. Or at all.
2. If it's been made private by staff.

Two is usually for community rooms, either because:
A. It's been replaced by an in house alternative, or
B. The room is bugged in some way and the creator hasn't fixed it.

[half girder]

@mossy river i am still waiting for your explanation that you accuse me here of hate speech / being transphobic. i take such nonesense serious.

[mossy river]

The way you wrote it sounds very mocking towards gender identity. I received a message so someone else felt that your message was inappropriate- they might be the only person that spoke up, there might be others who are just reading who have been made uncomfortable by your comment :)

[pallid lotus]

That said, "private" doesn't stop you from doing the room if it's one of the latter reasons.
I do not recommend joining rooms which haven't been released yet without permission though.

[upper minnow]

The 172 gender figure you posted was probably someone making fun of it

[wooden totem]

Just a precaution on the topic, standard

[upper minnow]

Theres not a "number" of genders

[wide sparrow]

Heyy,I have messaged u,can u check

[near sapphire]

will private rooms give points?

[pallid lotus]

Not afaik

They do count towards your streak though

[upper minnow]

Idk dude im kinda getting started too

[wide sparrow]

Ohh all ryt

[chilly veldt]

well yes and no

[near sapphire]

lemme try it out with the ccstego you sent

[mellow gull]

I have arrived safely at home and oh wow more people are here

[mellow narwhal]

Sure, just click right here, it's $200, no scam

[mellow gull]

Hah embed fail

[mellow narwhal]

You didn't see anything

[shell nova]

fail

[rugged kayak]

bro this is second time i saw you fail 😂

[shell nova]

also link highlight fail

[mellow narwhal]

IDK HOW TO DO IT OTHERWISE

[chilly veldt]

<link>

[half girder]

i just read "might be", that wasn't the case. and "this person" can actually ask me how it was meant in case there are doubts.

[mellow narwhal]

Anyways, you didn't see anything

[chilly veldt]

that's how you stop embeds

[mellow narwhal]

oh

[mellow narwhal]

omg i got admin access by clicking that link!!!
|| (/joke) ||

[chilly veldt]

I got an incident to fix

but wassup

[mossy river]

They reported it, they are entitled to their confidentiality

I only asked you nicely to avoid comments like this- it’s important to understand how messages may be perceived in the community :)

[eager marsh]

Do you have an htb team

For cyber apocalypse

[blissful snow]

dang it

(hackthebox discord)

[chilly veldt]

I am at a onsite ctf finals in italy that same weekend

[eager marsh]

How?

[eager marsh]

Ah man, we gotta team up at some point though

[near sapphire]

oooh good luck

[blissful snow]

see i was joking around and made a bomb threat🙃

that was back then when i wasn't serious/mature

and they got rid of me.... quickly

[upper minnow]

Lol

[wooden totem]

oopsie I did it again

[eager marsh]

Britney Spears type shit

[blissful snow]

were you there ( i did it two times)

[mellow narwhal]

Do you? 👀

[half girder]

absolutely agree to, but since this is a multicultural environment, you cannot expect everyone to speak pure oxford english and be aware of something being interpretated in a way, its not meant. so i feel mocked now for being a foreigner.

[near sapphire]

two times is crazyyy

[eager marsh]

Eh I have a Ctf team and an labs team

[rugged kayak]

third times the charm

[blissful snow]

I'm banned until 2029

[mellow narwhal]

What about a team for cyber apocalypse?

[upper minnow]

You weren't mocked, it was just a warning

[eager marsh]

That’s the Ctf team

[rugged kayak]

we have that one

[blissful snow]

i wonder where ima be then

[mellow narwhal]

Are you currently accepting applications?

[upper minnow]

Wasnt me who reported but yea kinda felt bigoted

[near sapphire]

am i sensing a recruiting coming

[rugged kayak]

perhaps

[eager marsh]

Hmmm dm me

[rugged kayak]

hivemind assimilation process

[mellow narwhal]

we are borg

you will be assimilated

[rugged kayak]

trust me you cat prepare for this 😂

[chilly veldt]

possibly

[mellow narwhal]

resistance is futile

[blissful snow]

so just making sure i shouldn't use "-- -" because it breaks every things right? so i should use something like with "and" so the rest of the code still functions(sqli)

[chilly veldt]

it's second time going there, it's gonna be nice

[upper minnow]

I wanna get good on ctfs to do those too

[mossy river]

I am sorry that you feel that way. I came in here to let you know that your comment made people uncomfortable, nothing more than that.

I haven’t warned your account or told you that you were being banned, only made you aware.

I can assure you that my intention was to inform, not to mock.

[rugged kayak]

@eager marsh do we have permission to invite people

[upper minnow]

Really?

[mellow gull]

What should I make for breakfast?

[upper minnow]

Ive done like 2 easy ctfs this far

[rugged kayak]

we all start somewhere

[near sapphire]

isnt it first come first serve or are we talking abt a diff team

i think a diff one

[rugged kayak]

i am talkin bout hivemind

[wooden totem]

my 2 cents are that the warnings would be better if they were worded more chill instead of sarcastically corporate

[rugged kayak]

i dont have other teams

[eager marsh]

Oh hey jabba

is skiddy arround?

I have some feedback regarding the new web path

[wooden totem]

suggestion box

[half girder]

@mossy river ok, but next time (i hope there isn't) i would rather expect that this anonymous person talks right to me. because right now, this person might be hurt (sorry to whoever was feeling that way, wasnt the intension) and i am royally pissed. i appreciate you mention it right to me, however i have a zero tolerance politic regarding random accusations and usually file immediately complains to officials. the internet is not the wild west.

[mossy river]

I’m sorry but they have the confidence to remain anonymous when reporting community members, and for this reason exactly.

[upper minnow]

Ppl usually feel kinda scared to do so

[blissful snow]

because of the bullying

[upper minnow]

Or just dont feel like starting a fight

[wooden totem]

anon and anon if you will

[half girder]

i only make fun of people asking how to hack the ex gf insta 😉

[blissful snow]

[half girder]

yes ^^

or less

[blissful snow]

someone said they would give me 20 and get me a date with someone 💀

[mellow gull]

[wooden totem]

[mellow gull]

Twenty dollars? No way. Now, twenty one dollars?

[upper minnow]

Stemcomuinnity.com free gift!!!!!!!

[wooden totem]

thats how you get autobanned on some servers

[near sapphire]

i cant believe i used to fall for this. ig this is why you dont give a 9 year old a phone

[rapid merlin]

[blissful snow]

she's balancing on the edge

[upper minnow]

[wide sparrow]

Wifi can restrict users activity??

[blissful snow]

filters

[mellow gull]

It's technically the router but yeah

Or a domain filter

[blissful snow]

ours is a chrome extension

[mellow gull]

Or- like, there's a couple ways

[neat belfry]

wdym, is it your friends account? or you gave your friend?

[blissful snow]

for person computer you can't access certain websites unless you have a vpn

[wide sparrow]

But that's gaining access to person phone and how is that allowed,wt makes this legal

[mellow gull]

This was a joke based on a trend of people that come into the server, my dude.

[mellow gull]

It's completely legal.

[blissful snow]

their a school wifi and a gust wifi

[mellow gull]

Because you're accessing their wifi network

So you follow their rules

[blissful snow]

the site is pretty easy to bypass but I haven't did it because it gives you a big fat warning for hackers saying its illegal

[wooden totem]

I picked the brightest diagram

[wide sparrow]

But the software built in their network which restricts,how is that legal?
And vpn just shifts ip adress how will that grant access

[near sapphire]

hacker!hacker! What ur doing is illegal

[blissful snow]

lol

[opaque flax]

Routers be routin

[mellow gull]

When you use a device on a wifi network, you route traffic using that network to the open internet. You use that network to process requests to access websites. Naturally, that network can choose to block or refuse access to certain websites or certain requests.

They're not accessing your device, they're just refusing access to the website.

[blissful snow]

I think if the request comes from my school ip it send it the a district filter thingy and filters

[wide sparrow]

Ok thanks!!

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @mellow gull (current: #74 - 111)

[blissful snow]

i have to go in 2 min

band won't you use your devices :(

[wide sparrow]

Is that exactly how? Vpn can be used to bypass

[blissful snow]

I'm not sure i have to look at it

[opaque flax]

They can block the vpn too

[blissful snow]

yeah

rise up won't work on here but proton does

[wide sparrow]

But the girl said she used vpn to bypass

[blissful snow]

i have to go now cya

[mellow gull]

A VPN can't magically bypass a network filter if it's still processing web requests through that network

[high mulch]

Don't worry, you'll notice when you cannot react to their comments, hence they blocked you.

[opaque flax]

Well yeah. If they don’t block the vpn it won’t be blocked

[near sapphire]

wait is this how it works?

[opaque flax]

But they can also block a vpn

[high mulch]

mornin' mornin'

[wide sparrow]

Ok

[high mulch]

Yupppp :)

[wooden totem]

a much easier way is if on their profile you can't see "mutual servers"

[high mulch]

That too

[mellow gull]

Man time to start auditing everyone in the server to see who's blocked me

[wooden totem]

at least 1

[high mulch]

Not worth it, waste of time tbf.

[mellow gull]

I don't really care tbh.

If I'm not worth their energy they're not worth mine

[near sapphire]

how abt the thing thats like cant show user profile or smt, i saw those a couple of times

[rugged kayak]

https://tenor.com/view/doja-cat-star-wars-gif-25078126

[wooden totem]

that means they dont have servers in common aka they left

[mellow gull]

I'd rather spend my time on a good ole round of OSINT

[near sapphire]

ah

[near sapphire]

be so good that you can identify a place from its grass/j

[polar shale]

idk if anybody has any idea what I am talking about but there was a room where you would send numerous http request at once causing the value of an object to be altered does anybody know this attack vector or room name?

I meant to take notes but I didn't

request paralaxing somethign?

I think maybe it was AoC

[sick lance]

Was that the one with the bank balance?

[sick lance]

They're both balances.

One is done via bank, another mobile phone.

I was flying through aoc

[polar shale]

towards the end i stopped taking notes lol

Task 7 has a banking web app.

[near sapphire]

wait 2? i thought there's only 1 in aoc

[sick lance]

One in AoC.

Then another was a completely independant room.

I plan to grind a bunch on tryhackme on the path to get a CompTia A+ cert

[rugged kayak]

blake

are you interested in doing some htb

[rapid merlin]

No. That’s the whole point. Outrunning karma is best done when you have no karma that you want to run away from in the first place.

I do have some things I have to earn redemption for though I can imagine

But I’m working on becoming an entirely new me

[polar shale]

https://tenor.com/view/money-gif-16565229595323670098

hopefully be after submission lol

[polar shale]

I have never signed up what is going on at htb sir?

[rugged kayak]

some seasonal boxes, some ctfs

fun and all that

lots of learning

[upper minnow]

htb is like tryhackme but hardmode

[polar shale]

A+ specifically will require that you study outside of thm as well like following A+ study guides and other resources unless you mean Sec+

[neat belfry]

I mean, if you're school restricts the use of discord while using the school wifi, then it dosent really seem ethical to try bypass it.

[polar shale]

ohhh yea I am totally down dm

[upper minnow]

forgot to say but yea id be up for that

[rapid merlin]

I plan to use other resources too, but I need fundamentals so I’ll be alternating between different module hosting platforms, starting with THM.

VGA cables my beloved

[mellow narwhal]

I found a site from 2000 with race conditions recently lol

or 2001 idk

[polar shale]

found something exciting myself

[mellow narwhal]

👀

what is it?

[polar shale]

lol mods will be on me if I say besides I dont wanna get banned from h1 for disclose kek 😛

seen a couple guys get banned after posting to their tele channels

I hate how burp is java application

[sick lance]

Responsible disclosure is amazing.

[half girder]

there was a long answer, but i reduce it down to "people can block when they wish".

[polar shale]

gov i didnt know that about if you are blocked

but tbh im not sure i have ever been blocked

[vale walrus]

Woah, what is going on. The fact this is a hacking server makes this even more hilarious

[polar shale]

the term hacking is funny idk what it is about it

I just tell people I like computers n shit

[sick lance]

Hacking isn't only assigned to computers and stuff.

[upper minnow]

You can't really say you are a hacker without looking like a nerd

[polar shale]

until the term #lifehacks goes away I dont wanna call anything hacking

[vale walrus]

The usual stereotypes, do y’all fit them?

[sick lance]

For example, https://ikeahackers.net/

[polar shale]

yes this is fucking stupid

[sick lance]

It's not though?

[polar shale]

like why

[vale walrus]

Is it though? I mean it doesn’t give that aura of mystery

[half girder]

well i like the website for ideas, improving a cheap furniture with simple ideas to "pimp" it

[upper minnow]

Some

[polar shale]

idk what it is about it just weird asf reminds me of vine back in the day like #lifehack / pintrest shit like the live laugh love type shit

[rapid merlin]

This youtube channel helped me a lot with A+ https://www.youtube.com/@PowerCertAnimatedVideos

[polar shale]

Professer Messer is another valuable resource for A+

I wanna begin my journey with Kali Linux, but still have Windows 11. Besides dual booting, is there another way to use Linux anytime I want AND have what I do saved each time i log out and relog in?

how about vmware or virtualbox?

[sick lance]

Vm is much better than dual booting.

[rapid merlin]

vmware is free for personal user right now.

[half girder]

jep 🙂

[vale walrus]

You could always try Qubes if you’re that savvy

[sick lance]

VMware Pro is also free for orgs too.

[carmine tinsel]

Actually, I’m a bit curious about VMs. Is it better to use Kali on VMware or Virtualbox? I use the latter

[sick lance]

Whatever you prefer tbh.

[rapid merlin]

You can install vmware for free (personal use). I have an ubuntu VM on my windows 11 system.

[sick lance]

IMO Vmware Workstation Pro > VirtualBox.

[broken nimbus]

VMs eh

[carmine tinsel]

Ok 🙂

[broken nimbus]

Okay

Thanks

[half girder]

doesnt really matter afaik, i havent seen a big difference. perhaps a "power user" might know

[half girder]

kali isnt running stable, so a vm is less hustle

[rapid merlin]

It's personal preference. I learned virtual machines on VMware so I use it. Whichever works for you.

[broken nimbus]

I see

[broken nimbus]

First time I'm hearing about that actually

[mellow gull]

Kali arbitrarily deciding that it's time to perish at complete random

[sick lance]

And if you dual boot it, there is a chance that Windows will eat some of the storage Kali is on.

[broken nimbus]

There's vmware and then there's vmware workstation. Why?

[sick lance]

You had Vmware player and Vmware Workstation.

However Player is not discontinued.

[half girder]

workstation for you, ignore their other products

[vale walrus]

It’s basically a bunch of VMs running OS templates to maximize security

[broken nimbus]

Is it free too?

[half girder]

jep

[vale walrus]

Is it better than Parrot?

[upper minnow]

pretty similar

[mellow gull]

It's different from Parrot.

[upper minnow]

theres also blackarch if you are insane

[mellow gull]

Or Kali Purple if you're looking for grapes

[sand trench]

sooo if black arch is insane what is pentoo???

[upper minnow]

never heard of it

[mellow gull]

Nightmare

[sand trench]

it is gentoo based hacking distro

[half girder]

didnt hear of pentoo for ages, is it still maintained?

[vale walrus]

Is it what I think it is, a gentoo fork for pentesting?

[wide sparrow]

Why don't they allow to send pictures???

you have to verify

[upper minnow]

you gotta verify

[near sapphire]

verify

[mellow gull]

You must be verified to send screenshots

[half girder]

in the past it was just a live linux gentoo with some tools preinstalled, not much different to kali / backtrack

[near sapphire]

wow

@wide sparrow

[mellow gull]

I like the pastel palette

[near sapphire]

4 ppl saying the same thing at the same time

[vale walrus]

And I thought BlackArch was the epitome of insane

[upper minnow]

bunch of pavlovian dogs

[mellow gull]

Automatic response to stimuli

[sick lance]

I'd rather 4 people telling them to verify, than do something illegal 😅

[near sapphire]

saying verify is reflex atp

[arctic cradle]

would it be considered illegal if I hugged you from the back without your consent?

[wide sparrow]

Where??

[sick lance]

not illegal, nore invasion of my self space.

[arctic cradle]

I'd still hug you, gotta take care of all my homies to make sure they are feeling good

[mellow gull]

Some people would not feel good from physical contact.

[upper minnow]

consent is important

[mellow gull]

Touch aversion is a thing.

[near sapphire]

i think you would annoy scrubz instead lol

[grizzled wing]

consent

[sick lance]

That would do the opposite, ironically.

[wide sparrow]

I hate these processes man!!

[upper minnow]

hey sudo

or do i call you veggies

[arctic cradle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[mellow gull]

veggies :0

[grizzled wing]

hi @upper minnow

Gaww

[near sapphire]

and yeah I could not, for the life of me, be hugged

[arctic cradle]

@grizzled wing I never had the chance to tell you that your avatar is one of the most unique and amazing I've seen so far

[polar shale]
