[topaz topaz]

Yeah true

[sick lance]

But for it to that, it would need to have the material on the writeup.

Which would be copyright.

[half girder]

and the writeup isnt behind a medium paywall 🙄

[topaz topaz]

Pretty sure I've seen writeups on the THM rooms that copy paste the modules and then give the andwer and explain

[worthy basin]

@cloud quiver Will this be enough, or do I have to do other things?

The sub price doesn't seem any different than it normally is.

[rapid bobcat]

[mellow gull]

It's 10$ a month (based on an annual calculation) and 14$ a month on a standard monthly plan.

i just renewed my Security+ recently

[sturdy pike]

I had a question regarding that

[upper minnow]

Do people really renew certificates

[sturdy pike]

do you have the need to renew the cert if nearing the expiry period?

I've heard many jobs want you to have the renewed or the latest cert

but if you have the latest, does the older one which is nearing expiry works too?

[upper minnow]

Ive heard no one cares if its expired or not, its just another way for them to steal your money

[fringe nacelle]

I mean they update the certs, so idk how true that is

[rugged kayak]

@elfin token cool room

[grizzled void]

i renewed mine cuz I let it expire. Life things ya'know but I like to keep them updated or at least not expire if possible

[upper minnow]

God that would put my anxiety through the roof to have to redo them time and time again

[grizzled void]

eh

[red surge]

Is it true you don't need to take the test ?

[sturdy pike]

I felt like asking because this has been a doubt in my mind for longer than I can think, I had forgotten about it till you told that you've renewed it. So not to expire just in case I assume?

[grizzled void]

did a week of reading the new book and passed first time

[pallid lotus]

Depends a lot on the context.
If you're job hunting and that's your highest ranked cert, then yes, it would be sensible to renew.
If you've done sec+ then gone on to do a bunch of higher powered certs for the job roles you're after then it's not really worth it unless your work pays for it.

[sturdy pike]

If you know your stuff, it doesn't, I mean I'd like to prove my skills are polished through an exam or something like a project

[upper minnow]

How long does it last?

[grizzled void]

i also did a week of studying for a microsoft azure cert, accidently took the wrong one, signed up for the new one and achieved both (week of study for one and no study for the other) they were fundamental certs however

[mellow narwhal]

You wouldn't really need to redo, I think
You can also earn credits to upkeep the cert, if they allow it

[grizzled void]

if you do the credits and pay the $150 USD

[upper minnow]

☠️

God i hate this system so much

[sturdy pike]

From what I've heard, OSCP is the cert your work should pay for but for Sec+ isn't the case? In that case, Sec+ would be the highest cert before I get a job

[sturdy pike]

2 years iirc

[mellow narwhal]

Well, its a business lol

[near sapphire]

Are there any certs that dont need renewal

[mellow narwhal]

HTB certs

[red surge]

yes hmm awesome i am doing CySA+ hopefully in a month or so

[sturdy pike]

lmfao

[cloud quiver]

OSCP i think

[red surge]

Yup

[grizzled void]

well $150 plus a few article reviews and courses could easily fulfill the requirements or you pay the $404 and study the new material

[half girder]

they added the OSCP+ which requires to renew

[mellow narwhal]

I would send angry mails to OffSec if OSCP needed renewal

[grizzled void]

microsoft fundamental ones

[pallid lotus]

I mean, ideally work should be paying for all your certs.

[near sapphire]

Honestly in the future once they can more recognition idt it will be the case anymore

[sturdy pike]

You know, one thing I'm confused about is if I should go for basic certs like A+, Net+ etc. I've been told to learn them for knowledge but in the end how are you going to show what you've learned?

[mellow narwhal]

They earn tons of revenue from all three of their platforms anyway

[upper minnow]

Im too anxious what if i hit my head and forget everything

[mellow narwhal]

they're already rolling in profits

[grizzled void]

oh yeah if you take and pass a cert exam thats higher you automatically renew the lower certs

[sturdy pike]

But if you don't have any work for now, then you pay for the certs yourself to get work? It feels similar to having work experience to get a job and getting a job gives you work experience

[fringe nacelle]

What's the difference between a hub and a switch

[sturdy pike]

Someone reads a little too much books here lol, don't worry, you won't, you got this

[red surge]

I am 2 years into security+ so I did not even know about this 2 flys with one swing I guess 🙂

[upper minnow]

A switch can be either a top or a bottom idk what a hub is

Sorry i had to make that joke

[grizzled void]

they are good for building your foundation knowledge and passing some resume screening, also some degrees they can be used as credits instead of taking those related courses saving you money, just depends on what you want to do i guess

[sturdy pike]

AOE vs Single Target

[pallid lotus]

Cyber isn't meant to be entry level.
i.e., company pays you to get security cert while you're employed as a dev, sysadmin, whatever, so you can support on the security side, then you transition across into a dedicated security role.
That's how it traditionally goes.

[sturdy pike]

I love it lmao

[pallid lotus]

If you're trying to skip that first step, then realistically you need to go out and buy whatever the job reqs are wanting you to have.

[sturdy pike]

So the conclusion being, should I get them? I feel like the answer is yes, I've been second guessing if I want them because people always have me confused

[red surge]

Skip the A+ go network+ 🙂

[pallid lotus]

In some cases you'll get lucky. More and more orgs are starting to bring in true entry level cyber roles, as well as internships and apprenticeships, etc.
If implemented properly then those have a lower barrier to entry.

[upper minnow]

Ive heard net+ is hard as hell

[mellow narwhal]

A+ is not very useful for higher roles

[sturdy pike]

So which role should I focus on? I need one goal and I've been told either Cloud is good or DevOps

[fringe nacelle]

Mhm, tomorrow I'm interviewing for a cyber security intern role

[red surge]

There is just lots of material that is why it might be "hard"

[pallid lotus]

Gl

[pallid lotus]

You won't go too far wrong with either of those right now. They're both in high demand.

[sturdy pike]

I'm not trying to skip the first step, I just want to know what should I work towards at first

[red surge]

I am just scared of CompTIA's confusion tactics on test haha

[grizzled void]

I can't say for certain for your situation but it wouldnt hurt. For my situation, i landed my job without any certs or a degree, I plan on getting my degree so I am acquiring certs that will give me additional transfer credits so I don't need to take those courses and can complete my degree quicker, with my certs and my associates, I'm aiming for as close to 91 credits as possible, so for me personally its worth it

[mellow narwhal]

Which is what usually? Say, in a blue team or a red team role

[grizzled void]

don't be they aren't that confusing

[grizzled void]

congrats!

[sturdy pike]

Implementation is hard but learning it is easy, if I want to get an internship then what should I write in my resume? Do THM certs work? The course completion ones?

[red surge]

Maybe I was not lucky with my Security+ then there were lots of long text multiple viable answers...altho i passed it was close 🙂

[sturdy pike]

You're scaring the kids, It's kinda easy once you get the fundamental concepts

[sturdy pike]

But for entry level roles?

[grizzled void]

different requirements for different jobs, depends on what you are doing

[pallid lotus]

Some other IT role. Often help desk. Development or systems administration are a good stepping stone.

Remember that offensive roles tend to have higher barriers to entry than defensive roles (e.g., many of my peers from uni went into SOC Tier 1).

[mellow narwhal]

As far as I know, A+ is ideal for jobs like tech support or help desk

[grizzled void]

it's good for entry tech, especially tech support

[sturdy pike]

So I can do either one of them? I was thinking DevOps, but Cloud also attracts me

[mellow narwhal]

It sounds like defensive role --> offensive role may be a viable option
Although so far, I find the idea of everyday work in blue teaming enjoyable

[sturdy pike]

Alright, I'll get the certs, I'm prepping for MSc which is gonna last two years and a single cert will take around 3-4 months to completion, I'll have to see how am I gonna get them.

[grizzled void]

There is DevOps in Cloud

[pallid lotus]

Just whatever you do, don't call them certs

If you were applying for an internship or junior position with us, I would be interested in seeing if you had been working on stuff like THM as an extra curricular (e.g., what paths / networks have you done, etc), because it gives me something to discuss in an interview and indicates that you've taken initiative.
They don't certify anything though.

[sturdy pike]

So first I go entry level jobs? like Tech support? Any alternatives for that?

[sturdy pike]

There is? Well that's new, I'll have to check it out

[pallid lotus]

As a general rule you want to show interest if you can't show experience, so projects and homelabs are a big plus as well.

[grizzled void]

depends on your skills, I was tech support/sys admin before getting my cybersecurity job

[mellow narwhal]

I'm building up a student resume rn, without any professional certs
So I include things like THM & HTB progression, homelabs, bug bounty hunting, etc.

[devout condor]

can someone explain to me how the leaderboard really works? its not by points, its not by amount of events completed
the monthly - general leaderboard

[sturdy pike]

Got it, so showing interest, I'm still in the process of completing my homelab but my laptop is dying, I need a new one, but I'll have to earn for that, it might die before 2026 ends lol, so I can hvae THM in the resume, what else should I learn? Like any other platform or course?

[grizzled void]

lot's of business now deploy software via cloud infrastructure so Cloud DevOps could be your goal

[pallid lotus]

HTB is always good 🤷‍♂️
Basically anything that interests you in this space honestly.

[mellow narwhal]

htb also has certs

so you can try those out

[grizzled void]

I always thought it was based on the number of points you earned that month for the monthly leader board

[grizzled void]

even if you can't do a physical homelab a virtual lab still looks good

[sturdy pike]

Got it, I've seen a few postings asking for interest in the field, never applied but now I'm sending applications like niagra falls, don't mind getting rejected tho

[sturdy pike]

I'll have plenty before I complete my MSc

[rugged kayak]

cpts is kind off equivalent to oscp, and you can complete whole path for less than 50e if you have student mail

[pallid lotus]

As long as it's relevant to the job role, can't hurt to include it.
Just, again, make sure you're using the right terminology.

Another example is someone coming in and saying they have pentest experience, when in reality it's all been lab/CTF based. Same with the certificates of completion being conflated with certifications. They're good to put down, but it's really important that you know their relevance or it can be very misleading (which is not a good look).

[sturdy pike]

Now that you put it that way, I might just focus on that too, we have blockchain and cloud with cybersec in my course currently and it's a big plus considering I can focus on all three

[pallid lotus]

"kind of" being the operative word there
Give it a few years though...

[sturdy pike]

I still don't feel like I have the skills to do HTB machines just yet, I'll see once I complete a few more rooms

[pallid lotus]

Also, if you want to go really meta with it... You can use DevOps to deploy the cloud infrastructure which deploys the software via DevOps...

[grizzled void]

i heard if you can pass CPTS you can pass OSCP

[rugged kayak]

true, thats why i said kind of, it still needs time got get recognition it deserves

[sturdy pike]

I'll check that out too then

[rugged kayak]

i talked to a lot of peeps that said cpts is more in depth and it trivializes oscp

[grizzled void]

thats nice to hear, I think ill do CPTS then OSCP lol

[upper minnow]

[chilly veldt]

I just had to go buy new screws for my motorcycle

[tight chasm]

I have but I have some challenges which is why I’m here

[half girder]

well, ask 🙂

[chilly veldt]

cause I didn't want to spend so much on a repair kit

[silver sky]

What is a host?

[cloud quiver]

I think there's a volatility room on THM if you want you may check it out 🙂
https://tryhackme.com/room/volatility

[cloud quiver]

Machine 🙂

[half girder]

short machine, long > wikipedia > A network host is a computer or other device connected to a computer network. A host may work as a server offering information resources, services, and applications to users or other hosts on the network. Hosts are assigned at least one network address.

[chilly parcel]

How do i find my network address

[cloud quiver]

ifconifg on Linux

ipconfig windows

[chilly parcel]

i got up INET is that it?

[cloud quiver]

I think there're even some more memory forensic rooms on THM , I will try to find them and will link it below 🙂

https://tryhackme.com/room/memoryforensics
https://tryhackme.com/room/introtocoldsystemforensics
https://tryhackme.com/room/analysingvolatilememory
First one is maybe a bit outdated by this point, other two are newer 🙂

[sick lance]

Are you doing Windows memory forensics?

[merry juniper]

👀

[mellow gull]

INET is your LAN IP address specific to your local network.

If you want your public-facing IP, it'll probably be eth0 on Linux devices.

[sick lance]

All interfaces will have an INET.

Mainly for IPv4

[broken knot]

Funny think I install Kali in my laptop and I don't know how to used.

[sturdy pike]

I used to think AD was a pain or a nightmare but i remember it really well now that I've completed that room

[naive violet]

Well...

[sick lance]

Ok, most. 😛

[swift kite]

Nice, I'm looking for some community of those who did the cert

I have 601 version

[sick lance]

But usually from the cotext of in here with tun0 etc they will do

[swift kite]

Ninja !!!

[grizzled void]

i had 501 and now I have 701

[swift kite]

Sec+ is so easy

[sturdy pike]

Let's see who's the creator of the AD room and thank them if they're here

[sick lance]

Depends on the AD room.

[swift kite]

It's just majority access controls, firewall, wireless and barely any crypto

[grizzled void]

plan on renewing my A+ by the end of the month then getting pentest+ before my network+

[sick lance]

[devout palm]

O i i a i o i i i a i

[broken knot]

chiiiiilllllll

[sturdy pike]

They seem to be here

one of the staff as it mentions on the website

[sturdy pike]

I read that in a japanese accent, idk if it was intended or I've watched too much anime

[sick lance]

There is so many tbh

[swift kite]

Go for it 💯

[sick lance]

Yeah, I was guessing either room, or this room https://tryhackme.com/room/attacktivedirectory

[sturdy pike]

Attacktivedirectory sounds cool

[swift kite]

Gregor do you work in cyber tho

[mellow gull]

Your INET? Absolutely nothing.

Probably shouldn't do it deliberately, naturally.

[chilly parcel]

alright.

[mellow gull]

Even if your public facing IP got leaked it wouldn't be the biggest deal in the world since your ISP naturally filters and changes it every once in a while, but it's never a good idea to leak personal information of any variety

[sick lance]

Unless you pay for a static.

[mellow gull]

^ Fair yeah, that's true.

[fickle merlin]

Yo

[swift kite]

I didn't like it either

[sturdy pike]

The kids make a hype out of it, it's subjective I know, but without knowledge how hard it is

[swift kite]

I hated the fact that my eCPPT cert wasn't much Priv Esc tho

Just hacked alot of obvious stuff and pivoted through a network

So bored

[mellow gull]

Everyone has that particular niche that just hits all the right spots for them

[upper minnow]

god last time i was in the hospital for emergency they didnt even let me keep my phone

[silver sky]

My phone must stay with me 😅

[sturdy pike]

Hard as in you can't do it directly, ofcourse you can by studying it properly which most people seem to ignore

[silver sky]

It's got work data on

[upper minnow]

i asked if they had any books and they gave me the travel diaries of a sailor and a fifty shades of grey knockoff

[sturdy pike]

What are you doing there? What happened?

[silver sky]

Hematemesis

[coral storm]

What's that

[cloud quiver]

😨 Oh buddy , hope you will be well .

[upper minnow]

so i started conversation with the person on the bed to my side

[broken knot]

You need more 2h to be check

[sturdy pike]

I've heard about it before in a movie, get well soon.

[upper minnow]

but one nurse said to stop talking with her so i went back to doing nothing for hours until i got movement of my legs back

[rugged kayak]

privesc is the most fun process of whole pentest

[sturdy pike]

What was your reason?

[silver sky]

Blood in vomit.

[coral storm]

Omg .. get well soon

[upper minnow]

oh its kinda private...

but wasnt that serious

[sturdy pike]

Oh, no worries then

[upper minnow]

can i take a sip of your coffee

[coral storm]

Sounds creepy

[upper minnow]

no no not that way

[coral storm]

I know dw

[upper minnow]

god im growing so addicted to coffee

now im drinking it twice a day

[sturdy pike]

Try four

[upper minnow]

soon i will be drinking a cup before sleeping like my parents

[coral storm]

That's not Good

[sturdy pike]

Are you trying to sleep wide awake?

[coral storm]

You know it right

[upper minnow]

idk how they do it but they always take some before sleep

[coral storm]

I have passed the level where coffee helps me to stay awake

[upper minnow]

yea but its how i get my energy to study nonstop

[sturdy pike]

I used to drink four black coffees a day back in 2020-22, turned it all around to water

[upper minnow]

i drink mine w soy milk

[sturdy pike]

and they all were STRONG strong

[coral storm]

Life

[sturdy pike]

you also a health freak?

[upper minnow]

no its just that normal milk gives me tummy aches

[silver sky]

https://tenor.com/view/rookie-numbers-gif-26135237

[upper minnow]

sometimes i put in a drop of hot pepper in it its surprisingly good

[coral storm]

You won't believe I have never tried black coffee

[sturdy pike]

oh, understandable, not that I've been through that but one of my friends did, she drinks coffee once a day now

[sturdy pike]

coffee with hot pepper in soy milk, gotta try that, I've tried enough combinations to know some are hidden gems

[upper minnow]

also my country is a huge source of soy so its almost as cheap as normal milk

i love the taste of soy milk sometimes i drink it by itself

[coral storm]

Which country if you don't mind

[sturdy pike]

It's good, you should try it sometime

[upper minnow]

it sweet doesnt even need sugar

[upper minnow]

🇧🇷

[coral storm]

Isn't it bitter

[sturdy pike]

Tofu must be real easy to come by too I guess?

[sturdy pike]

It is, but you can always add sugar, no one's gonna judge

there are some of the black coffees where they're naturally sweet

[coral storm]

Will try someday

[upper minnow]

i dont like black coffee, reminds me of the slop we have to drink at work

[sturdy pike]

I only keep black coffees for emergencies now like pre-workout before gym or something else etc.

[coral storm]

Yeah many of my friends drink it as pre workout

[sturdy pike]

Go to YouTube and treat yourself to a good one, not good to have a bad impression of black coffee, I'm totally not promoting it

[fickle merlin]

u guys need some dmaa thats good pre

[sturdy pike]

I do an extra set when on black coffee otherwise a few good extra reps on water, not that it matters when you're cutting and strength training, black coffee helps the liver

THM has really good fundamentals. I have been using ffuf and other tools in other courses but never quite understood how it actually works. THM gave me so many "AHA"moments.

[grizzled void]

as you drink more caffeine, you body develops more receptors so the sleepy molecules that normally get blocked by the caffeine get caught in larger quantities, that's why you drink more and more caffeine to stay awake

Yo what does everyone think of the new ranks? 💪

That will probably make me return on the grind when I'm done with my studies 🤣

Since 0xD isn't the highest anymore

[half girder]

titan sounds too much like scientology, but thats just my feeling about it

[grizzled wing]

if you ls -la on ranks you will find there is no real reason to ⚙️ as you lose out on advanced channels once you go to 0xE

[grizzled wing]

hi Chag.

Oh, really?

I think that's probably an oversight I guess

[grizzled wing]

yes, it sucks. its a known problem

[upper minnow]

im getting stumped on the file inclusion room rn

[silver sky]

I might have to stay overnight 😅

[grizzled wing]

the one from Muiri ?

[upper minnow]

dont think so

[jovial reef]

To be fair though, I never even use the advanced text channels so it doesn't really affect me 🤣

[grizzled void]

is this true? As I see Shadow is still in advanced-general and she is 0xE

[grizzled wing]

oh okay, the room by Muiri is complex and he needed ot make a youtube video explaining stuff

[grizzled wing]

Shadow is room reviewer . special case

[grizzled void]

ah i didn't take that into account

[wheat flare]

https://tenor.com/view/quby-high-five-wave-pentol-qubysani-gif-19935273

[grizzled void]

perhaps new secret channels, General > Advanced > Elite /s

[sick lance]

Shadow has access to the channel due to Throwback

[grizzled wing]

i knew a special case

[grizzled void]

i wanna do throwback

[sick lance]

It's been removed.

[grizzled void]

i know, use your mod powers and convince them to bring it back please and ty

[grizzled wing]

ohh

[sick lance]

It was replaced with other networks. 😄

[grizzled void]

does that mean there is a new role for the new networks?

[sick lance]

Sadly not.

[grizzled void]

dang

[sturdy pike]

What are networks in THM and where do you see them? I had a 7 day streak and i was given access, couldn't find them

[sick lance]

Learn > Networks.

https://tryhackme.com/hacktivities?tab=network

[sick lance]

Subscribers don't need the streak for access.

[grizzled void]

only 2 of them require streaks tho

[sick lance]

3

[grizzled void]

oh perhaps thats why they all say 0 except the 3 free ones

[sick lance]

Yup.

Subs = 0
Free users need > 7

Ooh, thank thm gods! and thanks for the link!

[grizzled void]

do you happen to know if they plan on fixing the 0xE and above not having access to advanced rooms?

i feel special being able to see them

[sick lance]

I think the roles haven't been assigned to the channel yet, it's in Jabbas list, I think.

[grizzled void]

[sick lance]

THM have removed student from the monthly discount,

Now only applied to annual.

[broken knot]

Intro to LAN is premium room

[sick lance]

Yeah, it is.

[silver sky]

Ahhhhhh

That sucks

[sturdy pike]

May and June are gonna be hectic, I'll be able to do THM all the time

Hopefully I can get to atleast 0xA or 0xD till that time

[steady hollow]

Can someone tell me if it is possible to setup snort to monitor 2 network at the same time.

[pliant cairn]

Hope this gets sorted

[cosmic pendant]

if you can get the traffic to the prom. interface, yes

you'll have to define the networks in the snort config with the ranges in the right spot, but it's doable and relatively common

[steady hollow]

@cosmic pendant Thanks

Im trying snort on virtualbox it is already installed on Ubuntu Server.
Already have 1 Win10 installed on 192.168.10.0/24 and 1 Ubuntu installed on 192.168.20.0/24

I want to see if i do some basic attacks against those end devices and see if snort can log those event.
Do i need the interfaces in promiscuous mode?

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @cosmic pendant (current: #44 - 210)

[cosmic pendant]

Yeah for Snort you do, then mirroring or trunking the traffic to the interface

If you're setting up a little lab, you can use Opnsense to route between your networks, then mirror the traffic to your snort

[boreal scarab]

Also check out Wazuh!

[cosmic pendant]

One a quick side note: Suricata has sort of taken over Snort in most ways.

If you haven't heard of Security Onion give that a look too

[topaz topaz]

Seriously? I never heard of it before, only recently finished the Snort rooms !

[rapid merlin]

Who's fluff?

[boreal scarab]

Security Onion 1, in my opinion, is better than Security Onion 2

Same way Evingnigx is starting too 😦

Graylog.... to a point

This is the life of FOSS security tools

[steady hollow]

OK. So i wont be able to do my home lab without opensese or is it not necessary?

[cosmic pendant]

i don't know what else you have going on. I think Vbox can do it, but I haven't used it while at this point

You jujst need to get the traffic to snort some how, I can't say how you can personally do that 😄

[rapid merlin]

Whats a password?, what does it do?

[cosmic pendant]

You should verify

[rapid merlin]

Say it so I can give you a rep

Cmon

[cosmic pendant]

I don't need the rep. I rather not deal with such questions 😄

[rapid merlin]

[cosmic pendant]

Ya know. normal stuff

[sick lance]

That's down to @mossy river for removing people from rep abuse.

not remove from community, just the rep system

[naive violet]

If a password does that, you're doing it wrong

[chilly veldt]

and should seek medical care

[cosmic pendant]

I think that is what more passwords without tokens are though @naive violet

If you're only using a PW, you're sort of expecting to feel that way

[sturdy pike]

Question is how are you typing in those passwords?

Yah! We have a hat too! We shake the hat, pull out what game to murder virtual people in, and cause mass terrorism in that game!

[hot cairn]

Hi

[pallid lotus]

I did not actually expect a response to that ping lmao
How are you Emma?

[hot cairn]

Doing alright, hbu

[pallid lotus]

Meh, life is life. Come full circle and currently building new boxes. It's... fun

I suspect rather more fun for me than for my colleagues

[boreal scarab]

GTA is the easiest to murder people in though. No lost progress, no using valuable resources. Just straight, grab gun, or car, and make the bullets or car line with the paths of the NPC's lol

[pallid lotus]

smh

[boreal scarab]

Want me to make you rage?

[pallid lotus]

Good luck

[broken knot]

Don't try that in real life 😆

[boreal scarab]

Oh hell no

[boreal scarab]

@silver sky Was the better moderator

[hot cairn]

Nice nice

[pallid lotus]

He was never a moderator 🤷‍♂️

[boreal scarab]

Yes he was

He's a community legend, so he was indeed a moderator

[pallid lotus]

And I do not pin my sense of self-worth to my ability to keep you degenerates in some vague sense of order, so, meh either way

[boreal scarab]

It was for the reddit, but still mod

[boreal scarab]

Damn it... that didn't work.... plan B

[pallid lotus]

You're gonna struggle. It takes a lot to legitimately annoy me lmao

[whole tusk]

Are AttackBoxes currently down?

They are really slow...

[sturdy pike]

I'm using all of them

sorry

[pallid lotus]

I mean, that's a paradox right there. Are they down or are they slow?

[whole tusk]

Just slow.

[boreal scarab]

Oh, then we need to get in a VC, I'm good at annoying people in there

[whole tusk]

My primordial enemy >:3

[hollow rock]

Hi does someone have a free 1 month thm subscription I really need it please

[pallid lotus]

Slow is likely to be a network problem. Likely at your end, but would not surprise me at all if it was a bottleneck at the THM side

Check your own internet speed, preferably using a test server in Ireland

[boreal scarab]

You're safe.... for now

[pallid lotus]

[whole tusk]

Thanks for info mate!

[twin ridge]

[sick lance]

Please don't do this..

[sturdy pike]

Schrodinger's cat

[pallid lotus]

Eh?

[sturdy pike]

I'm the Primordial One

[whole tusk]

Schrodinger's AttackBox

[hollow rock]

I can show you my progress and I have a 55 day streak

[sturdy pike]

Yes

[sick lance]

That's great and all, but we don't allow those sort of requests in the server

[pallid lotus]

How is it even remotely related to Schrodinger's cat?

The attackbox isn't alive or dead until you look at it. It's dead until you act on it

[wheat flare]

I can take that...

[sturdy pike]

In the context of attackboxes, they're either alive and slow or down and dead

[wheat flare]

Do you need a link to a local therapist?

[hollow rock]

Srsly that sucks

[sturdy pike]

Quantum Superposition then?

[whole tusk]

What if Schrodinger's cat is inside Schrodinger's AttackBox? Think on that one!

[wheat flare]

Ouch...with the generalisation

[pallid lotus]

Yes, but the whole point of that thought experiment is that without opening the box there's no way to tell whether the cat is alive or dead.
With attackboxes there are thousands of ways to tell. It can't simultaneously be in both states -- the state can be determined easily without loading one up in your browser

There are also many other factors at play other than just a single EC2 instance

[boreal scarab]

Oh no no, I'm good lol

[pallid lotus]

Is that a challenge?

[sturdy pike]

Soooo.. my other theory was Quantum Superposition, it's plausible, isn't it?

[pallid lotus]

Not really lmao

[wheat flare]

I shall take your word for it

[wheat flare]

Uhhhh

I'll think twice

[pallid lotus]

@shut hawk how did you get on with Gauntlet, remind me?

[shut hawk]

😠

[pallid lotus]

My last semi-public CTF.

[sturdy pike]

Maybe the concept is a blur in my mind or there's something else at play, either way I'm too tired to think of another way, couldn't even complete one module today

[silver sky]

Good news I'm fine apparently

So being sent home

[shut hawk]

you're a fine wide boi 😎

[shut hawk]

to be fair I did have the right idea

but WINDOWS cocked me up

[boreal scarab]

I was just angry getting woken up by loud noises early in the morning, then seeing an email from my provider charging me double, if not triple my rate for 1 month, so was not happy. But, after GTA V, I'm back to calm self.

It's hard for me to get angry, actually first time I had to use a game to help XD

[topaz topaz]

That sounds really tough, talk about a bad day

[wheat flare]

Adulthood looks terrifying

No it is

[pallid lotus]

The right idea for less than 1/5th of the challenge you actually uncovered...

[rapid merlin]

You guys should make non-ctf collaboration challenges for 2-3 people tops.

Would be a blast and great for beginners.

I'll hack all of you with html

[dark mason]

Actually possible

[topaz topaz]

Adulthood is a mix of having responsibilities and figuring out some depressing mechanisms of life that were foreshadowed in your childhood but you couldn't make sense of

[shut hawk]

Lmfao I don't think I even looked at the rest of it 😂

[topaz topaz]

Oh and also freedom of bedtime that's good

[rapid merlin]

Wait, really?

[rapid merlin]

Strictly html? Nah.

[dark mason]

A .html file can do serious damage to a company

[rapid merlin]

Maybe with js

[dark mason]

Mainly because of js

[dark mason]

Yeah

And phising

[rapid merlin]

Makes sense

[rapid merlin]

THANKS

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @dark mason (current: #519 - 11)

[topaz topaz]

is JS as bad as it was before? Most web browsers now disable JS scripts from running by default no?

[dark mason]

Free rep, yay!

[dark mason]

Uh, no

[naive violet]

Back in the internet explorer, activex, java etc days, HTML could be RCE

[naive violet]

Absolutely not

[pallid lotus]

You didn't. It's a gauntlet. You got into the first container

[pallid lotus]

Um

[pallid lotus]

First of about 6

[dark mason]

The only one I have seen to do that is tor

[topaz topaz]

Oh, right

[dark mason]

Really?

[shut hawk]

....maybe I'll have to have another crack at it

[dark mason]

Damn

[rapid merlin]

OOF

[naive violet]

Yeah was aaaaaages ago

[dark mason]

Never been in the internet explorer days

[rapid merlin]

Must've been hell

[dark mason]

Nah

[naive violet]

This book is dated but talks about some of it

[dark mason]

People didn't even have resources to learn where to hack

• people back in the day were 99% with good intentions

[rapid merlin]

I meant internet explorer

Internet explorer is hell

[dark mason]

I will take a look at it one day

[pallid lotus]

... wut

[dark mason]

Ah, yes.

[pallid lotus]

Also, you're 14

[naive violet]

Comes up on Humble Bundle often

[rapid merlin]

999 damage

[dark mason]

Yes, I had no braincells to actually use internet explorer

[shut hawk]

@pallid lotus how much did it cost to spin the gauntlet up?

[topaz topaz]

No way you're too young for internet explorer 😱

[dark mason]

Was*

[topaz topaz]

Nonono, are*

[dark mason]

I don't remember using it at all

[topaz topaz]

You're a young lad still

[rapid merlin]

Does anyone here have the JetKVM?

[topaz topaz]

Jesus christ 😭

[dark mason]

Yeah

But there ain't no internet explorer anymore

[topaz topaz]

I never thought I'd see the day and I ain't no old man myself

[rapid merlin]

What do the hackers who are at the top, like the shadow brokers, equation group, what do these people do differently?

[shut hawk]

Ha funny you asked that, mine is currently being shipped out to me

I backed it in december on kickstarter

Super excited for it

[topaz topaz]

4 nutritious meals a day

Really important

[dark mason]

Get lucky

[rapid merlin]

man I really want one bad, exactly what I needed

[rapid merlin]

Noted.

[dark mason]

Find a poor soul to fall for a phising attack

Then they have an entry point

[shut hawk]

i'll let you know what it's like

[rapid merlin]

@shut hawk write a review when you get yours, ill order one now if i can

[rapid merlin]

Ok unlike that, what do people with really high skill do

Thanks brotha

[naive violet]

Let's not discuss illegal activities here though

[rapid merlin]

IE will be 30 years old in few months

[rapid merlin]

Cmon stop it, I don't want to do anything illegal

[boreal scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/kitty-cat-cat-float-kitty-float-cat-water-float-gif-17908418945946410709

[pallid lotus]

Hm, think I had it running on a $48/month DO Droplet.

[rapid merlin]

I remember when IE first came out lol

[shut hawk]

I wouldn't right now

Wait till it's on amazon

[naive violet]

Them's the rules, no discussion of illegal activities

[rapid merlin]

Yeah I might just wait

[rapid merlin]

Can it be 5 or must it be 4?

[topaz topaz]

I personally do 5 cause I wanna progress quicker than normal, but you may join me if you'd like

Breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon meal, dinner

(Not necessarily in that order)

[rapid merlin]

Netscape was the best browser ever

[rapid merlin]

Ok thanks for your help

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @topaz topaz (current: #285 - 23)

[rapid merlin]

F*ck you Billy Gatey

[pallid lotus]

Whatever happened to the good old fashioned breakfast, lunch, dinner?

[rapid merlin]

For losers

[topaz topaz]

Have you seen what they feed kids these days?

Need for food has gone way up, we're raising goliaths nowadays

[lament tendon]

How are you supposed to not be hungry after just that!?

[pallid lotus]

And here we see precisely why the next generation are royally fucked

[lament tendon]

[rapid merlin]

It's even worse than that, I'm with them and it's way worse

[pallid lotus]

I mean, I've also seen parents trying to validate screaming toddlers, soooooo 🤷‍♂️

[rapid merlin]

Bruh

I didnt know AOL site was still running

My grandma thinks google is a person

[topaz topaz]

I've worked in the education field, trust me I've seen some stuff 😭

[mellow narwhal]

While sticking a phone in front of their faces to make them eat

[pallid lotus]

It basically is

[pallid lotus]

You poor sod

[sturdy pike]

My grandma thinks I'm handsome

[dark mason]

They study a lot, and there is also luck included, being the first to find a CVE requires luck because you were the first for another million people just like you who could have found the same thing, most of the "top" hackers happen to be at the right place, at the right time

[pallid lotus]

Wrong on both counts then?

[topaz topaz]

went out for dinner last night, a family of 5, the 2 little kids were given phones and they just sat back and watched tiktok the entire time. Their parents would literally put a fork in front of their mouths so they could eat otherwise they didnt even look at their plates

[mellow narwhal]

yes I've seen a lot of this

[rapid merlin]

It's a tragedy

[rapid merlin]

My grandpa is 92 and he uses Ubuntu. And every new laptop he gets, he installs it first thing.

[pallid lotus]

Y'know, I'm pretty sure this is why we have Darwin awards. "Forgetting to eat because of TikTok" feels like it should be up there.

[mellow narwhal]

better yet, a family gathering of 20 where everyone just scrolls reels on their phones

[rapid merlin]

But it's good, they won't have a chance in the job maeket

[mellow narwhal]

i've seen this happen, thankfully not in my family though lol

[round orbit]

Does anybody here like to read books?

[rapid merlin]

Damn,

[pallid lotus]

o/

[topaz topaz]

👴 back in my day we used to forget to eat because of work overload..!

[pallid lotus]

... No comment

[topaz topaz]

love em

[topaz topaz]

Not good at all, I want to see our newer generations succeed and do better than we did. But that's not happening

[sturdy pike]

LMFAO jokes aside, people have gone out of their way to compliment me so I don't really know and don't mind

[topaz topaz]

Long as they have a hardcover

[pallid lotus]

Fair 😆

[dark mason]

My school apparently has a surprise for the 8th and 7th grades on the 14th

[silk moon]

anyone knows how to get back a disabled instagram account disabled due to community guide lines

[dark mason]

(It ain't gonna be good)

[pallid lotus]

Is it an EMP?

[topaz topaz]

No unfortunately

[pallid lotus]

Email support and appeal

[rapid merlin]

I want to see ME succeed, if they're all brain fried I have a better chance

[dark mason]

Better than what I expect considering the date

[sturdy pike]

Heh, here's a cookie for you 🍪

[silk moon]

tried everything

[dark mason]

And, I don't even have my phone at school
