[alpine nebula]

how can you tell if a stream of incoming data is obfuscated or encrypted?

[jolly aspen]

doesn't seem that bad unless everyone broke their keyboards in the process

[alpine nebula]

im looking at a stream of websocket data coming in that looks like giberish most of the time.. but some data that comes in is plaintext

[jolly aspen]

hmmm

[orchid pawn]

I don’t think so

[sick lance]

Where does it come from?

[alpine nebula]

looking at the network tab. it appears to be a switch from http to wss

both to client and to server have similar looks to em

[jolly aspen]

is there a question to this, or just a statement of the goings-on in your life right now?

[alpine nebula]

im just trying to wrap my head around what im looking at tbh

i feel pretty clueless

[jolly aspen]

what are you looking at it for?

[alpine nebula]

@upper minnow not really seen any girl so far in my life that’s into computer this far,

[upper minnow]

There are some here

[opaque flax]

There’s… a lot of girls who are in the STEM space

i like how so far i didnt receive a single one despite girl on my pfp

[gleaming grove]

does anyone have one?

[rugged kayak]

i was thinking about getting zsa voyager

yes but it is to small hence causing shadow to not use it

hmm i want one with the numbers!

[grizzled wing]

what would be the subject line?

[half girder]

[opaque flax]

No drinking all the booze and hacking all the things?

[grizzled wing]

booze is not conducive to proper hacking methodology

[eternal timber]

I’d rather drink dihydrogen dioxide

[grizzled wing]

okay, send message

haha

[wooden totem]

I personally wouldn't take that, would either sleep or take med

[eternal timber]

i need one to fully embrace arch/tiling wm/neovim lifestyle

[gleaming grove]

i think i need more keys, for arrows and alt

idk

[rugged kayak]

no arrows needed

arrows are not ergonomic

[sand trench]

yeah zsa.io:s split keyboards gets recommended a lot

[grizzled wing]

then 🥭 s

[gleaming grove]

oh yeah just hjkl

[drowsy dust]

350 is wild for a keyboard

[sand trench]

they are not the best for ergonomics but their looks and offer is quite good

[grizzled wing]

embrace the cult of Arch haha

[opaque flax]

But what if coconut was mango

[rugged kayak]

moonlander has better ergonomics and more mounting options

[grizzled wing]

then the session token will return 🍫

[sand trench]

shadows main grip with zsa.io stuff is they don't come with qmk stuff to start with

[rugged kayak]

i like this one because its small and portable

[opaque flax]

Hacked boom

shadow was more refering to the kinesis or the glove 80

[rugged kayak]

its either zsa, glove or kinesis if you want high end keyboard

maybe ill buy a cheap one to start with, like a corne or something

Hello everyone, Im having a problem concerning room creation, Ive created a room as a linux box, everything good when i start it from the same account that used to creat it, but when i share the link of the machine with other people, they can start it but the IP isnt reachable and no service work! any help please ?

[grizzled wing]

are you a bot?

[misty abyss]

ofc not x)

[grizzled wing]

@whole yew may help

[misty abyss]

Thank you, ill be happy if you can help me

[modest dune]

hello zwaml

[whole yew]

Not really a thing mods can help with - I think there is a creator specific support mechanism on the website?

Oh, before a room can be reached, I think it has to go through the THM approval process to make sure it isn't malicious and is usable. I don't know much more than that

[misty abyss]

nop, this process is only for public rooms

[grizzled wing]

yea, that was my thinking , also having a verified account helps

[misty abyss]

mine is working and accecible when started in same account that created it

I have 2 accounts, one verified, and second new with subscription

ive created old rooms before and they work fine, but that was years ago! now something changed that i cant understand

I did everything in the article 😦 but when i share the room it dosent work for people!

but it work for me as the owner creator! in verified all possible settings...

best next idea is to email THM and get proper help

That sucks, how did you do on the tests with no sleep?

[orchid pawn]

Literally me

[upper minnow]

Not that bad

I have more time to study

having trouble installing alive-progress

it just says error externally managed environment no matter what i do

anybody??

[simple valve]

Sounds like you’re trying to install something that shouldn’t be installed in a machine that isn’t technically yours.

[real lichen]

thats strange definetly on my own machine

[simple valve]

Is it a machine provided by an organization like a company/school ,

[real lichen]

im on my own Kali VM

[simple valve]

That’s the VM, what about the host machine?

[real lichen]

its my personel laptop windows 11

[craggy dove]

@whole yew I know you're knowledgeable with fixing/suggesting resume edits.. I would love your input on mine if you okay we DMing

[simple valve]

Let me check

[real lichen]

maybe a permission got changed when i was messing around inside linux

[simple valve]

Oh I might be wrong

Yeah its some python shenanigans

[candid niche]

is this related to python? I'm unfamiliar with alive-progress but thats a common error with python

[real lichen]

it is a python package yes

[chilly veldt]

It's 5 am and I am finally going home

[simple valve]

You might be trying to globally edit via pip

Try out using pipx so it segragates your python packages into mini virtual envs

[real lichen]

python says it should be pip install alive-progress

[candid niche]

if you are using pip or python to install, make sure you are doing it in your virtual environnment

otherwise you are going to be getting that error

[simple valve]

Yeah but its usually because Kali also requires Python to function up to an extent. Thats why it says its an externally managed environment

[cloud quiver]

Check out this message we had similar problem yesterday 🙂
#room-help message

[simple valve]

You’d have to create a virtual environment to install it or use pipx to do it for you.

[karmic hemlock]

Does anyone have tips for securing AD? I was responsible for that role in competition today but the red team got in and flooded my screen with goose memes 🙃

[whole yew]

You are better off posting a redacted screenshot of your resume to #cyber-and-careers . I'm not the only one who will potentially have good feedback, and it's often better to take a consensus survey, rather than trust only 1 person

[karmic hemlock]

I reset the passwords of all the domain user accounts, including the administrator, removed suspicious accounts, removed admin permissions from normal users

I even changed the kerberos and DC passwords

I have no idea how they got in unless there was a backdoor I missed

[cloud quiver]

https://tryhackme.com/room/activedirectoryhardening
check this one out 🙂

[chilly veldt]

I am also releasing a guideline/template of how to have the most secure AD setup in terms of budgets

been using that to learn web scanning. Having bit trouble so wondered there is some recorded lecture kind of things?

I've never used it, but it seems to be open source, so they're going to have documentation you can read. Outside of that I would recommend conducting additional queries utilizing your favorite search engine.

[idle beacon]

i get paid to write emails to people snitching about people who scam others

[rapid merlin]

Wow

[clear jackal]

For what...

[rapid merlin]

Oh alr Lemem tell

[amber summit]

how to access dark web.

[rapid merlin]

It’s like to change my ip using the tor net

[rapid merlin]

Dw about it

[amber summit]

will i get a virus

yeah i’m scared i’d rather not

[rapid merlin]

Basically I wanna anonymize myself more so taht black hats have less chance of hacking or doxing me

[amber summit]

why do blackHats give a fxxk about you

[clear jackal]

Why are you putting yourself in a position to be on their radar?

[rapid merlin]

Well dark web can get give u malware.

[gleaming grove]

but thats a vm?

[rapid merlin]

Cause nvm

[rapid merlin]

Black hats… uh…. Let’s not talk about it

[rapid merlin]

Oracle vm Yh

[amber summit]

you remind me of when i opened terminal for the first time

[clear jackal]

No, lets

[rapid merlin]

Wow

[rapid merlin]

It’s that I have seen many black hats on dc so…

I wanna use dc on tor

[idle beacon]

Sir, you do realize i am a white hat? I am hoping you are not involved in something illegal

[amber summit]

what do you do on Tor bro?

you’re the typa kid who still uses breach in 2025

[amber summit]

same, blackHat shit bothers me so much

like it’s not right

[misty glade]

[rapid merlin]

I’m not involved in anything illegal. I’m a gray hat who’s more towards the white side

[clear jackal]

dc?

[rapid merlin]

Dw

[amber summit]

how old are you?

[rapid merlin]

Discord

[idle beacon]

i hate script kiddies more. Atleast Black Hats use something which requires me to use my brain

[rapid merlin]

15

[clear jackal]

Grey hat is illegal...

[amber summit]

oh that makes sense

[rapid merlin]

Not all r

[amber summit]

keep learning kiddo, i was once you

[rapid merlin]

It’s only if u do anything illegal and I’m not doing anything illegal

[clear jackal]

You should reconsider your actions while you are young

[rapid merlin]

Yh

[amber summit]

trust me even they’re using pre made stuff they just know how to use it better

[idle beacon]

and I am gonna stop you right there. Lets start with VMs first. master that and then Linux then you can start internet

[opaque flax]

if you're not going to do illegal acts (don't start) and you only do things legally then no you're not a "gray hat"

[clear jackal]

Grey hat means you conduct illegal acts on moral grounds, aka illegal

[gleaming grove]

man you dont even know how to install things or deal with pip. Dont do weird things or you are gonna get caught

[idle beacon]

I do trust you. I just hate the way script kiddies work

[rapid merlin]

I already have set up stuff. Like a lot of stuff and Ik alot. I just am unable to setup this thing because idk wats the issue with my vm

[opaque flax]

its a good thing tryhackme has a way for pepole to learn in a ethical way and stay on the ethical path!

[idle beacon]

neat

[rapid merlin]

I’ll always be legal

[clear jackal]

You also have accounts connected to your discord, not to mention you wouldn't be on discord if you heavily cared about OPSEC

[opaque flax]

then youre just a "white hat" but the labels are stupid imo

[rapid merlin]

Well Yh but I’m more towards the white side

[amber summit]

he’s literally listening to britney spears

[clear jackal]

There's no middle ground

[opaque flax]

nothing wrong with that

[amber summit]

i don’t think we need to worry

[idle beacon]

Who is britney spears?

[rapid merlin]

My vm has some issue so I’m asking for opinions bro. I tried many ways but didn’t work so now I’m asking people to give me exact commands so it can work

[rapid merlin]

I’ll always be ethical

[rapid merlin]

Hmm. Well tahst true but I use alt emails as a precaution

[rapid merlin]

Ig

[rapid merlin]

A singer

[opaque flax]

email isnt the only way to identify someone

[rapid merlin]

I mean ik and that’s why I’m trying to take as many precautions as possible

[gleaming grove]

my gf 🥸

[clear jackal]

How about stop?

[misty glade]

Britney was real popular in the late 90s to early 00s

[rapid merlin]

Reason?

[clear jackal]

What do you mean reason? Look back at your messages? You're being stupid heading down the path you are

[idle beacon]

I shouldnt have written that

[rapid merlin]

maybe some might be into spy vs spy 🙂

[amber summit]

i don’t think this kid is gonna be able to do anything right now even if he tried

[rapid merlin]

I don’t wanna reveal too much. Thats the thing but trust me, nth is illegal because Im well aware of the charges I can face if I do anything illegal

[opaque flax]

well thats the problem. you fire off a tool and don't know what youre doing and it could land you in some hot water

[clear jackal]

I realize your brain isn't developed at 15, but man pay attention in school or something to develop some ridges

[rapid merlin]

Hmm

[amber summit]

that would require some very specific situations, mostly i think he’s good

even if he scans his neighbours or something he won’t even know what to do after the scan

probably won’t legally be that deep

[opaque flax]

thats true

[rapid merlin]

Well… yk wat, I won’t say anything rn

[amber summit]

bro you Nmap McDonalds….have fun in jail…

[opaque flax]

im just waiting till my 698 mods from cyberpunk download

[idle beacon]

working in field made me realize something. Most times scammers get away without repercussions because our governments aren't equipped to deal with them

[rapid merlin]

Why would
I do to mcdonalds

[opaque flax]

for a lot of reasons yes. im well aware of how investigations into various types of scams go. one of the biggest problems is jurisdiction and a lack of cooperation from the foreign country

[idle beacon]

dont do anywhere. Create your test network at home using multiple devices and VMs and test everything on that

[rapid merlin]

And lack of evidence if someone pulls off smartly

[rapid merlin]

Yh I have subnets and all to test. I have few alts too just to test everything

[patent lark]

If you want to have a physical network to play with, Raspberry Pis are your friend. Domains are cheap too so you can toss a webserver up if you want to practice web attacks

[opaque flax]

plus unless it's a large large sum feds generally don't go after these scammers because local LE just doesnt have the resources to dedicate to the investigation

[idle beacon]

No need to even pull smart moves. Example
XYZ is a big company with multiple IPs. A scammer was selling products using that IP and scamming people. XYZ went legal way but saw nothing worked. XYZ asked us to do something about it. We blocked the page but scammer still got away

[rapid merlin]

https://github.com/chrisbensen/chris-blogs/blob/main/πCluster/History/PiClusterHistory.md

[opaque flax]

ive wanted to make a pi cluster in a amini rack

theyre cool af

so many bots try to write comments on my blog

[pliant onyx]

Lovely rack

[rapid merlin]

"server racks configured in a big square box reminiscent of a British Police box popularized in a certain British Television TV series" 🙂

a person can go simple with a Pi as well, some use them to host a BBS

I went to a hacker meet up one time and met someone who was using a Pi to host a C64 PETSCII BBS

[opaque flax]

guy aat my local defcon group is trying to make a vintage style BBS using old modems and somehow getting it work over ip

[rapid merlin]

fun

[opaque flax]

im pretty sure there was equipment to allow dialup style connections work over ip but i dont know how it works ]

[rapid merlin]

like a gateway

[opaque flax]

yeah it probably is able to take the robot screaming and translate it

idk i have little knowledge on the subject

[rapid merlin]

that could be a fun steganography project, turning something to analog and back again

Hello fellow humans

[opaque flax]

bold to assume im a human

im torn between reading my book or continuing my THM modlue

[rapid merlin]

both could be fun, what is the book if I may ask?

[misty glade]

Onyx Strom

about halfway thru

then Im going to coninue the Throne of Glass series

[rapid merlin]

part of a series 🙂

[misty glade]

mhm

one of my classmates pointed me to the fantasy romance section of the library and i cant stop. XD

[inner bloom]

is he cheating??

[opaque flax]

could have autopwn scripts if i had to guess

[inner bloom]

:_(

[opaque flax]

i mean how often to the KOTH machines change up

[craggy dove]

I posted it, and I totally agree. I just wanted you specifically to give it a look

[carmine tinsel]

anyway i dont understand ppl who cheat on thm, what's the point of using this site if ur not trying to learn or practice 🙃

[misty glade]

https://tenor.com/view/nodding-crossed-arms-pikachu-eyes-closed-pokemon-gif-15194868

[rapid merlin]

my only thought is that someone may end up learning they don't have to cheat, in order to obtain a growth experience

[pliant cairn]

install with pip install python3-tornet to use it system wide or use venv

btw Hey hey

Great video

[echo estuary]

Hello, I am new to Discord and this chat. What do you guys normally talk about?

[rapid merlin]

in this channel, just stupid stuff

[echo estuary]

How far are you guys in TryHackMe? Have you also done HTB?

[rapid merlin]

Yes, I do both. Not far since I just started.

[echo estuary]

Me too

[rapid merlin]

ive done some CTF on HTB 🙂

But I started on hellbound and overthewire

[echo estuary]

I'm learning offense. I am really good at defence.

[rapid merlin]

ive never did overthewire any good?

[echo estuary]

I plan to work on the blue team side. Do you guys work in cyber yet?

[rapid merlin]

like log analy?

[carmine tinsel]

Hehe, i could only dream of working in cyber 😆

[rapid merlin]

You can

[echo estuary]

Get certs, degrees, resume stuff, etc...

[rapid merlin]

Theres TONS of jobs and cybersecurity industry is only getting started and growing super fast

im still studying for sec+ -.-

I just started my CCNP today lol

[carmine tinsel]

well its just I know some ppl in cyber and they say the job market is very saturated 🫤 (im in US)

its ok, im fine doing thm as a hobby :3

[rapid merlin]

so would you have CCNA?

[echo estuary]

I noticed that local jobs are a safer bet than online jobs due to the level of competition and the number of applicants for online.

[misty glade]

same

[rapid merlin]

CCNP

[rapid merlin]

yes but do you also have CCNA or just jumped stright to CCNP?

[echo estuary]

Security +, Pentest +, CCNA, all great certifications.

[rapid merlin]

what do you think of CEH?

[rapid merlin]

Nope, just right into CCNP

sweet

I already know quite a bit regarding networking

[echo estuary]

Is CEH from EC-Council?

[rapid merlin]

have you taken net+

[rapid merlin]

yes 🙂

nope

[echo estuary]

They are a really good organization. It should look good to employers if that's why you are getting it. It also is very thorough,, I imagine.

[rapid merlin]

but I do have a compsci bs degree

that was from 15 years ago tho lol

[rapid merlin]

yeahhh i do know that hack the box is offering their own cert which i might look into its called 'cpts'

[echo estuary]

Nice, I'll have mine at the end of this year. I start my master's next year.

I start with the lowest price cert and work my way up.

[rapid merlin]

I was going to start masters but decided on CCNP isntead

damnnn im still working on my AA

[carmine tinsel]

hahaha, i am still barely into my associate's

[echo estuary]

Certs are where it's at.

[rapid merlin]

now a days, yeah

[rapid merlin]

das right

[echo estuary]

degrees are great as well, work experience in computing is best.

[rapid merlin]

back then, most certs were ignored unless it was from cisco or something

Gonna videochat the wife then get ready for bed

She works until 4am and its 12:20 right now :/

[echo estuary]

Have a good night.

[carmine tinsel]

good night

[rapid merlin]

have you ever did a sherlock on HTB?

[carmine tinsel]

🛌

[echo estuary]

What is a sherlock? A learning path?

I see. I just went to the site. They look cool.

[rapid merlin]

its DRIR related stuff it also has malware analysis

yeah theyre pretty fun

[echo estuary]

I might start Brutus right now!

[rapid merlin]

im working on brutus

[rapid merlin]

oh well good luck

[echo estuary]

Are Sherlocks forensics then?

I take forensics next semester and It

[rapid merlin]

yes

[echo estuary]

be great to get a start on it

[rapid merlin]

the challenges and sort by forensics they have some good ones as well

[echo estuary]

What OS do you recommend doing Sherlocks in? Do I use Kali?

[rapid merlin]

well blue team is something i need to work on and i am better at red team so maybe there is something we can learn from each other 🙂

kali is good i tried parrot but perfered kali personally

[echo estuary]

Okay

[rapid merlin]

nothing wrong with parrot to me just what you perfer really

[echo estuary]

I have a Kali VM already. I'll boot that up.

[rapid merlin]

ight

maybe we could compare notes to the brutus sherlock?

[echo estuary]

Sure, I'm waiting for Kali to load.

[rapid merlin]

ight sent a friend request 🙂

[echo estuary]

Thanks, accepted

[zenith fossil]

Hell people, I come in faith of answers and to seek help.

I have a bin file which is encoded using PGP Open Public Key. Any idea how I can decode it to get the text inside?

It's a flag...

[cloud quiver]

Which room ?

[zenith fossil]

Not a room, it's for a stenography exercise I am doing for a friend.

Am I not supposed to ask such questions here?

[sturdy pike]

Good afternoon

[blissful snow]

hi

[sturdy pike]

heya, how's it going?

[blissful snow]

good wbu

just slugging thro printnightmare room

[sturdy pike]

sounds like a nightmare

I'm great

[blissful snow]

it is lol

[eternal timber]

Why is goodnight one word when good afternoon is two words

Anyways

Goodnight

[cloud quiver]

Sorry but we can't help you with non THM content 😦

[sturdy pike]

And here I am breezing through CLI

[blissful snow]

nice

[sturdy pike]

Lazy for networking tho

It's next after this

Thinking of doing Cloud computing practitioner essentials through AWS Skill builder

[zenith fossil]

We as in? I cannot ask such questions here on server? 🫠🫠

[sturdy pike]

AFAIK, no you can't ask such questions.

[grizzled void]

simply put it sounds like you are asking for help with a CTF or homework and its frowned upon to help give the answers for such things from my understanding

"it's a flag..." and "it's for a s stenography exercise i am doing for a friend." make it sounds like a CTF

helping you get the answer violates the integrity of the competition of a CTF (even if it is not a competitive one where rewards are given) and it discourages learning how to do it yourself (at least in my personal opinion)

[sacred python]

Good morning guys

What is CTF?

[cloud quiver]

Capture the flag 🙂

Type of a challenge

[sacred python]

Thank you, can I try it too? I just know network basics and that too very little. Will I be able to compete in it ?

I'm just kinda confused on what to do today, HTB Machines, THM or Cloud Computing basics?

[eternal timber]

No lol. I just like comic Reed

[eternal timber]

Cloud

[sacred python]

Try to avoid it @eternal timber . There is a risk of heart attack if consumed daily

[eternal timber]

I’ll start studying for AWS tmw

[sturdy pike]

Ah well, if I were you, I have high tolerance so I'd probably sleep lmao

[cloud quiver]

Maybe Cloud for a chill sunday 🙂

[eternal timber]

I’ve been drinking copious amounts of energy drinks for like 6 years now

[sacred python]

AWS cloud module from the thm room? Does it teach from basics ? Can I learn AWS from basics from that module?

[sturdy pike]

That's what I was thinking too, thank you!

Switching off my VM then

[eternal timber]

Thanks

[eternal timber]

[sacred python]

Even I take energy drinks for bike rides. It helps me focus of 2 hours straight and I used to feel invincible lol but never used for studies

[sturdy pike]

Yeah I dunno man, I drink water for focus

[sacred python]

You take red bull?

[sacred python]

😂💀

@sturdy pike badass

[eternal timber]

I had Red Bull today but I prefer monster

[sacred python]

Cool

[sturdy pike]

I prefer black coffee with two tbsp of coffee powder without sugar

[eternal timber]

Coffee doesn’t do much for me

Or caffeine for that matter

[sturdy pike]

Not the fine grained powder, but the chunky one

I like my coffee strong

[eternal timber]

The added taurine and other ingredients in energy drinks help

[sturdy pike]

but usually water

[sacred python]

I had 4 cans of monster energy once without having food while trekking and ended up having severe stomach pain after reaching the top. Since then i stopped energy drinks

[sturdy pike]

Are you a trucker? You seem to have a tolerance of a trucker

[eternal timber]

I’m supposed to be writing my dissertation

[eternal timber]

QCD with a focus on applying algebraic geometry

[sacred python]

Btw what's the use of doing PHD will we be able to gain something through completing PHD? Does it add any value in our life ?

[sacred python]

I don't understand a single word in it 🥹💀

[sturdy pike]

Sounds familiar, good luck Doc!

[eternal timber]

Yes, I’ll be able to do research

[eternal timber]

Thanks

[eternal timber]

Quantum chromodynamics

[sacred python]

Is it a research to turn humans elastic?

[eternal timber]

Loool

[sturdy pike]

lmfaooo

[sacred python]

I always wanted Johnny from fantastic 4. Is it possible?

[sturdy pike]

One of my professors used to tell us about this, though we didn't understand it at the time

[sacred python]

Can you explain this topic in a way that i could understand?

[eternal timber]

Ughh do you know what quarks are?

[eternal timber]

Nice

[sacred python]

Nope

You two are sounding like stark and Bruce banner and I'm here listening like groot 😂

[eternal timber]

They are the building blocks of protons and neutrons

[sturdy pike]

Feels like I'm in 12th grade again haha

[sacred python]

Cool. Is it related to physics ?

[eternal timber]

So QCD is a type of quantum field theory that studies the relationship between quarks and how they interact with gluons(particles responsible for the strong force).

Yes, it’s physics

[sacred python]

Cool

[eternal timber]

But I’m doing mathematical physics so my research is math heavy too

[blissful snow]

they thought you that in 12th

[sacred python]

Learning this is like the first step to build an arc reactor ?

[sacred python]

What maths and all do you use in this? Like integration and stuffs?

[eternal timber]

It could be. A sustained nuclear fusion reaction of that size and masswith manageable heat emission doesn’t seem realistic

[eternal timber]

The field is a type of gauge theory

[sacred python]

Oh it's just a fiction? Can't iron be real ever ?

[sturdy pike]

Yep, introduction in 11th grade tho

[sacred python]

Cool

[eternal timber]

It’s more advanced abstract algebra, algebraic topology and algebraic geometry

[blissful snow]

ah

[sacred python]

If I want to understand these concepts and stuff, where should I start learning?

[eternal timber]

The power source is unlikely but the exoskeleton is possible

[sacred python]

Exoskeleton is nothing without the power though

Who's the power in Marvel is logical and possible in real life ? @eternal timber

[eternal timber]

Start from cal 1-3 then linear algebra. After that take an intro proof writing class, then take real analysis 1 and 2 maybe complex analysis too. Then take general topology and abstract algebra 1 and 2. After that take an intro algebraic topology course, maybe a bit of differential geometry, then you should be able to have a solid foundation for algebraic geometry

[eternal timber]

Ughhh Reed?

[sturdy pike]

A nightmare

[blissful snow]

should i start doing cve rooms

for red team practicing / pen testing

[sacred python]

I think that's a good idea I guess

It's quite cringe really

[sick lance]

I mean, yeah.

but still, depending on the educational institute, if an exam is leaked on line, they won't prove who done it, so they'll just void the exam for everyone.

[fringe nacelle]

True

hopefully you're having a good night scrubs

[round orbit]

Cheating on an exam is stupid

[sick lance]

I'll let you know when it's nighttime 😄

[round orbit]

I heard that SOC Analyst positions suck, and there’s no way to progress further because all you do is the same thing each day and there’s no variety, is it true?

[fringe nacelle]

I mean

ticket system with different issues. Idk I feel like there would be something fun to do everyday. But I've never touched a siem interface other than thms

[sick lance]

I have fun in different ways.

One of them, is not MCQ tests.

I'd rather play chess than do that.

And I haven't done that since school.

[round orbit]

You say that like I know what an MCQ test is

[sick lance]

You've asked two so far.

Multiple Choice Question.

[round orbit]

But you incorrectly assumed I was trying to get answers for an exam 😆

Maybe you get it a lot, idk

[sick lance]

I don't know you from Adam, so it's a blanket ban on those sort of things.

Something Something Student Integrity.

[round orbit]

I wouldn’t even take an exam on a Sunday, let alone at 10:35 before I’ve even had breakfast, man

[topaz topaz]

What's with the confrontation and rudeness m? Nobody behaved in a way that warrants this

[sick lance]

There is no need to get involved. 🙂

[fringe nacelle]

ngl MCQ tests are so boring and imo lead to school being unfun

[round orbit]

I am not the one being accused mate

[fringe nacelle]

hands on is the way to go

[topaz topaz]

Then as someone who enjoys chilling in general and talking to people I'd ask that this gets wrapped up please?

[sick lance]

I'm told the CeH exam is MCQ.

[round orbit]

Let’s all just move on for sure 😅

[sick lance]

..Do you see the irony here?

[wooden totem]

google calendar is the worst calendar I've ever touched

[round orbit]

That’s why I use Microsoft Bookings

[topaz topaz]

No not really

[topaz topaz]

I use it at work and it's appalling..even the mobile counterpart

[round orbit]

But I’m looking at switching to iCal

[fringe nacelle]

FUG what does the FUG stand for

[topaz topaz]

It's just a shorter version of my actual username, which was practically gibberish back when I would chat with a broken keyboard

One day I was replying to a friend and made a random string of letters that looked funny so I made it my username and then just kept the fug

[round orbit]

Calendly*

[sick lance]

Your interaction with them, would do the exact opposite of this.

I'd ask that this gets wrapped up please?

[fringe nacelle]

lol nice

[topaz topaz]

Considering the atmosphere that conversation was creating which was a bit awkward for all other members due to its passive aggressive nature between you two, I made a suggestion, and thank you for taking it and actually letting the subject drop

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @sick lance (current: #1 - 3373)

[topaz topaz]

Now, as you can see we can go back to conversating properly for a little while

[sick lance]

@round orbit That comment was not appropriate.

[worthy basin]

Can someone explain what hacking is, the different types of hackers, and what I need to study to become proficient in this field?

[round orbit]

That’s a very broad comment

Have you done any research at all?

[sick lance]

It wasn't a SFW/PG13 comment...

[worthy basin]

No

[sick lance]

Hacking has more than one definition.

[cloud quiver]

You can learn that here 🙂

[round orbit]

Well…. I’d maybe suggest that?

[worthy basin]

Thank you

[round orbit]

Make sure you get your credit card out if you wanna complete this path

[cloud quiver]

Well yeah but majority is free anyway 🙂

[round orbit]

Sure

[fringe nacelle]

just use the free content to get an understanding rather than a full lecture

[topaz topaz]

Also the rooms that actually are premium also have writeups online so you can still learn the content

You just don't have the interactive questions at the end

[sick lance]

Assuming the writeup isn't an answer dump and actually teaches you.
