That’s the part I like most
it is not too bad when you can use that data to change a persons life for the better though 🙂
We had to study phychology for my compsci BA
I know everything that there is to know about internal stuff, and can fix approximately it all, which is why I have to do data analysis right now to get some data that I need for fixing a different issue
just let me be sigmund freud coming up with some weird outlandish psychoanalytical theories while blackout drunk but don't ask me to collect and evaluate data
That was the cocaine
And now you're doing hacking as a hobby?
yes, correct. i just wanted to keep it PG13
Which is pointless if it's brought up.
No drug promotion please
stick to coca tea for the altitude mountain climbs
Howdy
not really doing it, still in the learning phase. i think IT and psychology is an excellent combination if you want to pursue red teaming as a potential hobby
We had some coca tea when we went to peru
*career
It makes your tongue sleepy
That's illegal in Europe
as I am trying to switch from coffee to green tea
social engineering goat
Psychology is a required gen ed credit for any accredited college degree
Oh you're on, I was totally not gonna swear about my laptop lagging as a mf.
I've been here the whole time
I mean in the documents it says im a software engineer even though i only do data
scrubz is always lurking
So im just gonna change some details
…the whole time??
he has a monitor for discord anyway
Aren't you a little lurk? lol
Since the beginning of time.
you can make a bot alert mods
But yeah, lying on your cv is fraud.
I was talking to nother guy from this server who was questioning pursuing a career in one of those areas
almost at 100k 
Fake it till you make it has consequences.
It ain't fraud if I don't know anything. And write nothing.
Then you're not lying then.
That's the point.
Fraud is bad guys
Alright, I'll be back in an hour or two
Congrats 🙂 🚀
I'm learning about radio waves and cell towers for fun
they need to rebalance the point system
Which resources are you using 🙂 ?
wdym
There's a specific wireless frequency which people are not allowed to use because it's reserved for police and/or military application
You should ask Ninja about this when they're around.
On walky-talkies
Yea its weird how medium rooms give as many points as easy
Any particular channel 🙂 ?
Not weird.
How are points decided?
Ads-b and sdr’s are great ways to get started with radio
Right now all I know is that your phone transmits a radio wave and that hops from cell tower to cell tower until it reaches the client you are calling
I watched this one recently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVyu7NB7W6Y

A huge thank you to Linus Sebastian and the team at Linus Tech Tips - check them out at @LinusTechTips
A massive thank you to Alexandre De Oliveira and Karsten Nohl (aka @hackingmatters) for making...
why is it made like that btw, just curious whats the reason for not granting harder rooms more points
This was a good video
what did he say?
What are the rewards for winning KOTH?
I like your determination but there isn't enough rooms.
Lovely
A badge
They used to give bonus points to harder rooms. Can't remember why that was nuked.
How so? Im already top 20
Would yall say it's easier to get a job in networking than cyber security?
I think it is 🙂
Monthly?
yes
I sent friend request to my friend but he isn't available. Can anyone guide me on this please
Ah I thought you meant overall
Check email
networking definitely. i got a job at networking directly after graduating from school over references
no way lol, dont think its possible. people who maxed first will always be at top.
I think so at least.
it was also partly because of the company because they hired any idiot
Bet, i'm trying to build my way up to something in networking and then eventually something different
but that would never work in cyber
aint no one beating 0day 
Concentrate on recently released challenge boxes, they offer most points for monthly
Even if you finished all rooms today you’ll still be less than halfway
Maybe one day
why so, how did he get his points?
fbs
Because point values change as they age
probably
There are challenges that provide additional points and first bloods and stuff.
0day won't be beat until he retires, it's literally impossible.
and some rooms are privated
ah i see
2/3 left to be a one of the cool guys
Oh hes nearly finishing school and thinking which area he should pursue, he likes computer stuff but psychology seems like a good idea since people seem to be growing more mentally unstable these days 
spawn camper.
I haven't been doing cyber security much lately, i'm about to lock in
Definition of a gatekeeper smh
Increase in mentally unstable does not mean increase in job market share
There's so much to learn when it comes to tech ngl, I find it hard to focus on just one thing because I wanna explore the whole ocean
His words not mine
yeah definitely. psychology is great if you want to understand yourself and other people and of course if you are the kind of person that dreams of helping other people. but working there is not really interesting unless you really are dedicated to help people
also the pay is shit
read their minds and get their passwords, no hacking needed
so the degree is mostly useless unless you want to specialise in forensics or cognitive neuroscience
Psychology degrees are fairly versatile for management roles. It’s not all clinical work
well if that was that easy. funnily in rare cases it does work
That’s what I did
you are in cog neuro?
Yes
hacking the brain 🔥
that's insane, so how come you are also active here?
Time to go study, everyone have a blessed day
Tech pays better
People can't have hobbies anymore 
that's not the point. cog neuroscience is mostly academic research and that takes a shitload of time off of your schedule
Hobbies > life
hobbies == life
valid
It does, if you are lucky enough to have a shitload of funding
Life is for living.
Which, funding is drying up fast at the moment
we on them big numbers now 
ah yes, the classical graveyard effect of academic researchers
how long has this been going on
everyone thinks it's cool since andrew huberman went viral but it's good to hear people talk about the dark sides of it to portray the reality of it
Everyone’s a neuroscientist now
@chilly veldt for some reason my brain thought you were interested in retro interfaces, sorry if that game link seemed odd 🤓
"sir, this is a pet store"
morning sunlight viewing, brain +++
you can do calculations on that, at 10:13 I posted 29k
at 10:47 I posted 119k
that's 90k increase in 34 minutes
don't apologize, I just brushed over it and someone came and asked for help at work, so I forgot about it 😄
And a Doctor, Physician, physiatrists.
Etc
By anyone? 👀
skidy could if he wanted to
Cancer? Nbd, I listen to huberman everymorning
He's the only person that has enough points to be the new top tier role and it's not by a small number.
The only person able to compete with him was Szymon
that means 2647 rows per minute approximetly
I am now at 132k rows
if we take 132k and divide by 2647, that's 49 minutes it's been running
i assumed its not linear fsr
You could win though
There’s roughly 65k points available at this moment. The first bloods account for a large proportion of points that are not capable of getting
technically not linear, but it differs so little that it doesn't make big changes in time
I win by not caring enough about an arbitrary point value in a game I can't win.

cause then we also have to factor in response time from the sql server, the load of my laptop and the server, and the locking of writing into a file that is done per thread that I have running which is 5 threads, cause we don't want to break the memory by overwriting
How am I at rank 20 lmao?
Monthly ?
I've been inactive as hell this month
yes
thats you below me? lolo
im 19th in my country lol
Keep it up man gg
I am Galdesce yes
Ill try lol.
Setup reveal
Lmao I saw this and I imagined it was US only
I am probably the lowest
Then it's even more impressing man
ahh shit I guess not
I knew something was wrong being ranked so easy
Keep going man
US only ?
yeah i dont see ya
It's still a big achivement man
yeah us only top 20
US has 10x italy population at least
What are these remotes used for?
Lights
Congrats man
damn i got some nice monthly socres
bro has purple lights for the haxor vibes
I’m not high enough yet
Flashbang
tips fedora
Fedora ?
6x
Purple is my favorite color
rank #164 international
I've hardly done thm content, so rip my leaderboard score lol
Damn I thought much more
i am not sorry 😂
334M - 58M
321 
I cant wait to do KOTH
have you been active?
I'm #125 in my country for monthly
might as well do the easy ones now since points dont go by level
I started 20 days ago tho
And I already had some "experience"
But I lack all the theory
where is this at
And priv esc
Dashboard
20 days ago and already 0xC??
wow you rank up fast
I started hacking at 14 only for fun
Mines the same

i have higher priv esc 🔥
I started when I was like 10-11, we didnt have dialup but I had a pc so I ran phone line from my neighbors and stole a modem from my school
Man give me logs instead, I like logs, network and web exploitation 
You’re so privileged
i like logs too
Ive been doing the pathway and theres no privesc on it
fair point
same and I also love cracking/decrypting
Yea the pathways don’t have priv esc until mid pentester stuff
I jump here and there, it depends by the day
OH YES
Cyberchef my best friend
cyberchef.io is bae

I just wanna kiss it sometimes, its that good
In fact i skipped to privesc yesterday cos burp wasnt working
but yeah cool website
But got too sleepy to finish the room
white mode? 
i will probably try and finish year of the x challenges
but i need to setup a vm first
Half the old rooms are invisible if you use dark mode
no
Oh thats confusing
oh this actually exists 😂
if you do come across links youre unsure about, open them in a virtual machine
anyone up for some king of the hill?
no you are cool
Gave +1 Rep to @rugged kayak (current: #214 - 35)
Try to ask these guys #koth #koth-voice-chat 🙂
Alternatively throw them into something like virustotal
It will sandbox links on its own
what I love about cybersecurity, everyone can have their own way of doing things. sure some are more effecient but still
np bro, stay safe
Then theres my way, the wrong way
@agile crown congratulations 🎉
Congratz Naughty
What did he do
Hacked everything
Wow thats a new role ive never seen bfr
Hey @devout palm ❤️
done
MUSTARD
@near sapphire it took 1 hour, 10 minutes and 55s to go through 189120 rows of data
I enjoy reading multiple write-ups to witness how others approached the same problem 🙂
gotta love having a terminal timer
About 2700 rows a minute
yup
2663.6 rows a minute
........
I FORGOT TO REMOVE 2 LINES FROM MY CODE
NOW EVERYTHING I HAVE DONE IS GONE
Oh no
@pallid lotus did you ever decide on Hack Glasgow?
computers enable us to make bigger and faster mistakes
or at least that is what they have taught me 🙂
luckily vscode cached it
Thanks ❤️
Gave +1 Rep to @atomic abyss (current: #189 - 40)
I could do ctrl+z in the file and I got it back
undo!
We have been in the shadows for quite some time now 😄
Whats the achievement naughty
thm staff
I was referring to KoTH Lead mod as well
lol
Are koth lead the ones making the rooms?
sometimes
@agile crown congrats 🙂
How to be a KoTH lead?
gotta love having to rewrite almost all entire code cause you made 1 small change
I will now go eat lunch
isn't the code better the second time around though?
New room
Idk, first revision is for general use, second is special
Worksheet new room then back to learning crypto
enjoying music over here, chatting, and THM rooms 🎶 🧑💻
@topaz topaz what does your day look like today?
@sick lance inspired me to listen to Crystal Castles over in #876804968731009055
Nicee, how long have you been in the crypto field?
I love Crystal Castles, they've made some beautiful music.
My day looks a lot like good food, bit of a treat for my gym progress haha. Are you doing any thm today?
I did the new room #1338902955717427323 and loved it, working on #red-teaming-path
They gone downhill when Alice left.
I want to learn how to devellop application
Great job 🙂 🚀
I've only recently started doing proper CTFs, wonder how well I'd do there haha
Awesomee
About a month or two
yay its raining
What are you planning on investing on?
this buffs my studying by 28%
I'm so tired of the rain and the.cold 😦
Uhh thats not what i meant by crypto lol
But i do invest in bitcoin
Ooooh cryptography?
sup everyone
Yeah
Heyyy! Nice seeing ya
Spring is coming 🙂 🥵
hey mate whatsup
yesterday i was at 38.C with no air conditioner so id go for cold and rain
That's awesome, I love cryptography
WHAT? Where
brazil
Can't wait not gonna lie
Not much pal you?
I love Brazil
i dont
Me too 🤣 . I don't like when it's cold w/out snow 🙂
I only have two seasons 😔
Brazilians on top

Same here, snow no snow, when your job requires on site business support you don't like going out in bad weather
ntg much just my working hours started also there is CTF tomorrow in univeristy and its being a year since i solved any
wbu
How Will you practice?
I'm doing okk, can't wait to finish work in an hour, do some thm and advance the ctf I've left idle
Where is that 🙂 ? Which two seasons do you have 🙂 ?
for something not computer related, this can be really fun to learn https://www.schneier.com/academic/solitaire/

Dry and rainy lol, im from indonesia
lets see maybe i'll read old notes or solve picoctf also THM have lots of changes like new paths new ranking nice
Halo
Hahaha that's awesome and sounds a lot like me, solitaire is the only game I play 🙂
Thanks for that!
Back again
Yes THM is even nicer than before, a great time to get started for new users
wb
Oh , nice 😄 . Tbh I would really like to see how that type of climate looks like . I don't know if I would like it but i would like to try . Greetings to Indonesia btw 🇮🇩 .
thanks
Gave +1 Rep to @lime ledge (current: #225 - 33)
yes fr am suggesting that to classmates to practice
By the way, I noticed the learning path has been nerfed in design, it used to be a tree design and now it's just random squares in the page, what's up with that?
It's simplicity.
its still there but tree design is new
It's not as easy to follow as before :/
I remember at first the learning path page was a branching design
If anything it's more complex
u have to nevigate a different page to see all paths as it was used to
Especially considering the first learning path is SOC Level 1 which isn't ideal
Oh
So it still exists?
let mee see uf u can send ss
What are you going to do today 🙂 ?
these?
Yeh that's the design I don't like haha
My layout is also different to yours
I'm trying to complete this whole module today but let's see how far I can go.
um well idk why that
Do it!! It's a great module
I would recommend you not to do Wireshark today 🙂
go for it i was solving it in mroning just revising stuff
it will take time
Yeah definitely this is tooooooo much for one day
agree wireshark while doing it making notes is must else u will forget things soon
No wireshark today? Sure, will give me time to do some maths and python.
No stop at Networking Secure Protocols
Other rooms are too imporant and they have a lot of material
i have a habit of making notes, even if I'm copying and pasting them, I do it in a way that's more understandable just like how I'd type it out.
gtg guys alerts starts on my name
thats good
Yup, that's where I mean to stop at today, I won't skip over the rooms, like to do it linearly haha
i didnt make SOC L2 notes in here cuz ig thats my daily work nearby i do all of it everyday
Yeah , don't rush , this is a marathon 🙂 🏃♂️➡️
I always like to make all the notes
Agreed
if you spend each day learning with good notes and real focus its so much better!
Its extremely hot then raining non stop lol which sucks when your only method of transportation is by foot but ive gotten used to it
thats good i still have all notes i made during my way and now hard to keep up making notes i have to work on it
honestly if thats the case take a break or swap room types i did lots of walkthroughs and now have spent two weeks doing a challange room a day my note taking motivation came back!
got some great notes on cyberlens(easy challange windows server exploit room) yesterday
Making notes looks hard until you actually get to it, once a habit, always a habit, that's what I like
This is what I learned for today, making more notes.
for me its being a year and am just figuring out how to improve in daily work as well continuing university with job and extra time for THM a bit hard for manage
how do the notes look you guys take? are they keywords or are you typing full paragraphs
thats how it should be
Fancy organization
making notes has been super helpful for me, and from what I hear others
if its hard to manage imo just try and do it more for fun and when u have time
imp points
depends
some stuff is more explained some stuff is more points and commands for me
What are you using for note taking?
i use notepad or google docs like a scrub
i use obsidian
Ms Paint
vi 😆
i see lots recommend obsidian
I use a text editor
Obsidian
Bet, i'm stealing it
Obsidian
Notepad
lets go notepad crew!
I just need to link all of these notes on the weekend, or it'll become a big backlog.
although I have to admit, someone here said to me that I should learn nano in the event I could not use vi, and they shared a valuable lesson to me, as I ended up needing nano 🙂
incomprehensible keywords
ive always used nano icl
yeah me too
echo is super helpful too if u want to oneline things
Nano is very nice.
vi is the worst
This ^
👍 it does the job
I feel like I'll need nano for HTB as I'll be on linux most of the time, which is why I'm taking my time preparing for a longer streak on HTB.
im letting madness lay matt
paint.net better anyway
You guys still talkeing about obsidian lol.
what machine doesnt have vi
Look I love you, but our next AA meeting is going to discuss your recent developments in Ms paint and Sound gifs, along with your rambunctious Ai
some dont xd
Windows
Ew, it's on light mode, we gotta change that
Do you use a mouse for MS Paint to draw notes? @boreal scarab
You mean this little thing?
That really is the benchmark question for any AI
PTSD really is a bish
It REALLY wanted to make me aware that there are 2 R's in the word strawberry, even if I asked it any other question lol
Hi!
It really wanted to let you know..
It HAD to let you know..
@boreal scarab thanks for reminding me about that Hackers 1995 film, so many great references in it
Gave +1 Rep to @boreal scarab (current: #29 - 347)
Have fun! (ethical I'm hoping!!!)
I remember in WarGames the main character looking at the NORAD user interface saying "that's some setup" 🙂
Love wargames
And hackers 1995, what a vibe these were
They were beautiful films to watch on a summer afternoon right after an 8 hour shift 😂
we did a movie in the park with WarGames event during summer, forests area with a massive projector, was really fun
Whats the name of the movie based on Mitnick
Takedown ?
I have no seen, yet is it this? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0159784/
yesss
Takedown*
heads up, R rated
ooo no
better ask my mom first
this is a great place to practice PG-13 advocacy
it comes in handy for cybersecurity work imo
Time for a break from work and have a meeting with a journalist
ok yall convinced me im installing obsidian
Cant even find take down on any of my pirate stream sites
you would love doing street outreach with me 🙂
make sure you get some of the good plugins like the CANVAS, voice notes, and command palette
for obsidian ^
Yeah, it's what, the 7th time I'm meeting with journalists since October
do you help them with privacy?
generally curious
journalists seem to need help from people in cybersecurity afaik
I do projects
They need an expert of things they want to talk about, and if I feel like it's a topic I can share my knowledge on and help with, I help

Just avoid taking any notes with exploitation, especially Windows.
awesome
Yeah, free learning
🙂
I do most of it anonymously, cause I don't want my name shared out
makes sense
Tryhackme started in 2018?
Is Attackbox's expired before 2 hours?
You an add time
It should last at least 2h , it can last even more if you exceed time 🙂
ya, a really cool story https://tryhackme.com/about
Unless if you're non subscriber, then you can't add more
Yeah , I've forgot it . Thanks for adding that 🙂 .
Gave +1 Rep to @chilly veldt (current: #8 - 959)
I've been a subscriber for so long that I forgot
I can see that they are sub, but still wanted to add it on top for clearance 😄
Damn, that's really cool, thanks for sharing!
Gave +1 Rep to @lime ledge (current: #221 - 34)
does linux distros such as ubuntu or kali not have av
Pre-installed - no 🙂
dont take them on windows
Does it need av tho? I've always thought of it as if you're carrying bugs, why carry pesticide with you too?
If there's exploitation code, will it be locked behind antivirus?
random thought, the only reason I use the 24-hour clock is because 13:37 is a possibility 😄
Yes
Which is why the OS doesn't matter
What if you don't save it as an executable file and just add it as a comment?
Basically the process of creating shellcode and the like sets off AV regardless of OS, hence why Kali doesn't come with it prepacked.
Comment doesn't matter, AV searches for strings
It's not the file being analysed only.
the fact that 0:00 is 12am in the american clock is hideous to me
I hate the 12 hour clock also
Then should I make the exploitation codes on github?
thankful you have choices 👍
10pm 11pm 12am 1am how does this make sense
That's one place, yeah.
don't even consider metric time, where 1 hour is 100 minutes 😄
it should be 0am
like the microwave 😄
or just paste images of the code
I don't trust my VM, I'm afraid I'll break it and snapshots won't help as I would've progressed too far.
0am would make it confusing for some people.
github
00:00 is the best.
Or don't write notes in plain text.
That's what I'm talking about, here's a cookie 🍪
I'll change the font to cursive
trillium is good alternative to obsidian
the worst part is that ppl call 24 hour "military time"
its not military time its normal people time
fun fact; time doesnt really exist
It's due to it's use.
I've got plenty of notes on a (external and encrypted, don't say the thing, Scrubz) drive on my windows machine I just don't include any actual malicious code of any kind.
it stores notes in database iirc
how have i wasted so much of it then
it is cool to know it is not a constant
"CADET! BE READY AT 14:00 OR YOUR MOTHER WON"T BRING LUNCH!"
you havent
It does exist, as the 4th dimension
This is to avoid confusion.
1400 hours sounds a lot better than
2
I know, 2 of what? am or pm?
Exactly.
2PM
GM
Yes, we know it's 2 PM.
2PM sounds soft by a seargent yelling it out loud
That's kind of my point, though.
yeah, you don't just say the number tho, you add on AM or PM
Yeeooo
also annoying how time will change to 12 notation in excel
1400 hours sounds like a man who'd lift you up with one hand.
god i hope i never have to use excel again
Not yet
thanks!
i consider excel programmer as a slur
@sick lance I can only imagine in forensics that iso date format with zulu time is important?
It's all done in UTC
you're an excel programmer
Bring 'er home.
vbs pro btw

I got distracted again, I'll go, see ya later.
a really good excel programmer
Don't ping me.
noooooooooo
Same bye guys
Excelling at my programming today 
ping
awesome to hear, what language are you programming with?
All timezones need to be identified ASAP.
So all the evidence can be linked.
I was just hitting the pun
makes sense
I wish all great success 🐱
Whenever I do anything like that, that's my number one priority.
Been trying to learn Flask as an entry to web-dev for the sake of it
a consistency
That was kind of my point, too.
the more I worked international the more I was like YYYY-DD-MM-hh:mm:ssZ
also the confusion of day month or month day notation
wait, I got DD MM backwards 😛
worst thing is when you only have days up to 12 and you cant know which one it is using
dd-mm-yyyy is only correct one and i am ready to defend it with my life
All depends.
EnCase will sort all dates to match the format for all.
agreed, but theres an specific country that thinks different and makes life hell
to keep it simple https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601
ISO 8601 is an international standard covering the worldwide exchange and communication of date and time-related data. It is maintained by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and was first published in 1988, with updates in 1991, 2000, 2004, and 2019, and an amendment in 2022. The standard provides a well-defined, unambiguou...
You need to set it to the format you want, then all dates will match it.
you know you work international when you set your tmux status bar to ISO date format to zulu time 😄
yea but when the dates are recorded as strings(which i really hate) im not able to know the format
why would anyone record dates as strings
its evil
Morning gang
This the total number of challenges available?
Yeah.
I see
Hard has the hard and insanse rated rooms bunched together.
There is 8.
this years sidequest
fake news it says over 400
The ah, what room? 😭
Pog, but aren't there 396 challenges 
I know, I just pinged staff.
Amen
this means that over 400 other rooms are walkthroughs
god such omnious names
I'd say it mentions 'challenges' in the name
I was sad to hear the Windcoprs (Osiris) was moved to HTB.
And including walkthroughs, it would be an even higher number
Walkthrough rooms are not challenge.
Hrm... to play around more with my AI, or play games?
scrubz is is windcorp series all windows machines
Yup.
no insane linux machines :(
My favorite is "you're in a cave"
Morning sire
morning
Morning
how can i get a list of all sqli rooms and the same for other topics
Use the search 😄
when i search sometimes it doesn't give me all the rooms
Gang, how do you wake up quicker?
Like earlier or functionally awake?
Personally I don't use any AV
You can always run a second opinion if your worried about anything for a quick scan
set an alarm
I don't feel alone
It's incredibly easy to avoid viruses by following very basic risk awareness, especially on linux machines.
I AM the Anti-virus
I just recommend them to less tech literate people 
I can also be THE virus
😄
which is funny as I have written code to work with CrowdStrike 😄
EICAR test file is the biggest alert I've had
You broke everything how dare you!
get up the moment you open your eyes
I did not write their update code 😄
I know I’m messing with ya
bold of you to assume common sense is a thing
Do stretches when you wake up.
Some simple calinthenics in the morning is a good booster
put the alarm far away from you so you have to stand up to turn it off
My alarm triggers a panic reaction that immediately places me into an alert state.
this what i get when i search sqli with free selected and type info
I put the alarm under my pillow with vibrate on zig-zag
i lost most of my hearing so it helps alot
I use to do that with death metal at full volume!
also smart watch alarm = banger
weird
dont do jnfo
that reminds me! malware poc with zig lang 😮
i select different options
info is difficulty
Done
who is coding with zig?
What is?
info is restricting rooms.
also Jurassic park is easy ctf that gives a lot of points
you just invented that one
oh ok
ins't that a hard room
it says hard though
I doubt it, yet hey, if I advocated for a new lang? cool 🙂
some of the hard ones arent really hard at all
just takes time
I would love people to learn more low level languages
c is enough
c is low levle?
it does but its really basic imo
nothing too complicated
search for THM buffer overflow rooms and https://phrack.org/issues/49/14
Phrack staff website.
Icl some easy rooms I’ve done have been harder than mediums
older rooms tend to be easier
this
didn't know they had this
better than the pickle rick room
great room 🙂
yea
@sick lance (Local AI, no internet connection)
@cloud quiver do you know of any ROP rooms that I can't find?
how many easy, medium, and hard rooms would you recommend me to to do to get good at an topic ( im doing this for all website vuln)
google ropemporium
It's not wrong. 😄
anyone doing KoTH?
This one maybe

`Just want to share my progress " PreSecurity 75%" :DDD
I wonder about this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indirect_branch_tracking
Indirect branch tracking (IBT), also known as branch target identification (BTI), is a control flow integrity mechanism implemented on some Intel x86-64 and ARM-64 processors. IBT is designed to protect against computer security exploits that use indirect branch instructions to jump into code in unintended ways, such as return-oriented programmi...
Congrats , great job 🙂 🚀
Thank you ;DD
good to do the fundamentals and not skip them
of course. from zero to hero
4 mins until KoTH
I typically go straight to the gym after chugging an energy drink in the shower.
Just getting out of bed when it's cold outside is a pain in the ass.
I'll try this tomorrow
Yeah I work out in the morning also, best feeling ever
I hate being awake early.
I'm still used to my old job and being nocturnal
just to ask. is normally to dont understand full concept in presecurity? for example firewall? I know in theory that block ip adresses and thats it. is there after presecurity more about firewall?
Yuh
I am, I hated waking up then too.
It's ok for now , you will learn more and dig deeper into details as your journey goes by 🙂
Rehat go class ..
I've been out for 6 years now
okey thanks !

oh no its the guy that talks in riddles
Ahh I thought you was a bit younger and fresh out
Got out when I was 24, been out for 5/6ish
Anonymous FTP server, I'm using the hint, it gives out 530. Hah?

You aren't? Wise Old Man?

@hot cairn i forgot how awesome navigraph is
deckard cain is cool 👍
My meeting with some journalists
Stay Awhile and Listen
Ooo girl gonna be in media!
his secret was in listening 😮
tbh i prefer silence but i live in front of a gym that puts loud music all day long
terrible terrible music
umm im getting an input/output error on my vm
like industry baby daycore and techno remix of sound of silence
I sat with a person in silence for 2+ hours, a spiritual adventure
so i have to drown out their noise
So far, I am liking this local AI
what is it like?
you feel close to it
a part of you
It's a fucking stupid baby sometimes
I will never stop posting this lol
you see how it reveals your own imperfections
What are you into?
and you wonder how that makes you feel
😄
you have made a 100% observation
you do make the greatest meme videos which I am thankful for 🙂
Smartest CCP software
Reboot
If not fixed sudo dmesg | grep -i error
oh wait this is baby level easy wtf
did you try it?
im at the middle of it
thought id least have to do that repetitive method of using like % and trying every letter
@boreal scarab hopefully you can heal any pain I go through when I have to learn active directory as that feel intimidating
just fear of the unknown really
I usually get excited though, as I learn the rewards of the learning
active directory isnt too bad
I used to be afraid of PowerShell because it seemed opposite to syntax I knew
yet today it is not so bad
I just needed to practice using it to feel better about it
powershell is really nice for active directory
exposure therapy 😄
powershell in general is nice for windows stuff
im currently doing that with python
wish we learnt powershell at my job
we do automate stuff but its all with fucking POWER AUTOMATE
god i hate microsoft power tools
i mean nothing is holding you back from learning powershell
but knowing power automate could also be nice
a funny reality, is stuff I feel emotional about, is probably the best thing to learn next
if I am able to handle coping with that
that worked thanks

Many such cases....
The music I like is objectively trash.
yep literally anything windows / win srv
hard pill to swallow if you want to work in corporate lol had this same realization whenever i started working lol. AD, Win10, PS, IIS e.g.
happy you are able to voice your experiences, we can all learn from that
unless you work for Amazon lol they got lots of fun to have with Linux system administration , docker .e.g.
well it is only my own haha maybe others have different but it seems like as of now working in corporate America you will need to learn Windows Fundamental / Envrionment
I believe that learning Windows is useful
I am having that growth experience now
yet it does not take away from other learning
I would almost argue necessary
very
yes
we have one forensic investigator here and she has no technical background
and she really struggles with how like the machines itself work
just the fundamentals
I have also experienced people in cybersecurity who have great skill, yet lack basics
it is a wild experience to witness
yet that is nature 🙂
i am very slowly learnjng assembly now
coming from C fundamentals
Been reversing some of the projects i made in book
assembly always seemed really cool
give it a try. Simple to learn but seems gard to master
Feels limiting yet limitless
Idk tho yet im still fuguting shit out
im currently figuring out how to make a websocket with python
sick
it is amazing when we find really good documentation on something, that can be so motivating
its very easy
if only my packages were delivered that fast by dhl
Yey subscribed
Your shipping fee would be more than the package content itself then lol
Way easier in practice too
Time 4 woooork
How much should I learn in C as a beginner? What topics should I focus on first? Please understand that I'm not very good at English
learn to program basic file and string parsing
Anybody know a good relatively-cheap option for a sub ghz transciever with a decent range for radio, etc. pentesting? Preferably something compatible with SDR software.
pointers ftw
Im quitting vaping lol i started when i was a kid been doing so for like 7 years never thought to really try quitting until i lost my vape in the couch lol im just not gonna buy a new one

Just kept it as a vice because i used to use drugs in my teens and thought if anything i will keep that little vice of vaping but im overall just wanna be done with everything. I live a really healthy lifestyle outside of my few left over vices (at least i try)
should i take notes in google docs
Oh yea hell no i never did that i build my coils and put my own cotton the whole nine yards
Well used to
nothing you wouldnt want to be public

Get the 2nd edition
ah
use trilium or obsidian
What he said
i needed something that i could sync notes on or save
ima check out trilium
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
git / obsidian
free lol
honestly if it were me i would just learn git online
so many online resources for git
you been studying too much kek acronyms just flying around in your head lol /s
i used to push projects to github with git but i got lazy and just start adding the file to github
But i feel you
lol
take sometime out your week to learn git. You will not regret this. If you dont know you likely will have to later whether you program or not
the good thing is i kinda know some of it
Oh then you good 👍🏽

Yeah 
Not that I wanted to, I think I 'liked' a few and then the algorithm just started spamming me with them
once you start using obsidian there is no going back

its an example lol
lol me too
linpeas save me
not sure how to find the flags now tbh
Day 12
For real though, I've bug hunted SO many sites which casually have working RSA/OpenSSH private keys thrown around in Gitlab instances lmfao
bump
if ur not aware, i'm challenging myself to 180 days straight of THM and WSA
i'm on day 12 right now
doing slow progress is the key
Oh that's very nice
Great job 🙂 🚀
Wdym by WSA?
this one is very specific
you have only two flags most of the time
i found the fifth flag by accident
Burp's Web Academy is a really good resource , I would recommend you to combine it with THM's web app pentesting path 🙂
Portswigger Web Security Academy
thanks
thanks x2

check hacktools extension for firefox
They are a great combo , some labs are better on WSA some on THM
the reason why i have both chromium and firefox pinned
is because firefox is my "normal" activity browser
and chromium is exclusively for pentesting
im stealing all of the notes 😈
ultimate garbage collection
not using rn but saving for later cuz it seems like its gonna be a banger
brave added javascripts snippts btw
@boreal scarab what would you do if your PC CPU fan started making a clicking sound?
and cables were not in the way 😄
