htb has lot more "real world" like boxes

[near sapphire]

true but I have no income yet and dont want to burden my parents even more

[inner goblet]

I’m beginner beginner. I went with THM. Lot of fundamentals

[drowsy dust]

My suggested pathway is always Professor messer -> THM -> HTB + Vulnhub

That’s how I succeeded

[rugged kayak]

thats why i said pros and cons

[carmine tinsel]

Thm has a lot of free rooms, I’m sure you could make do with just that

[inner goblet]

Whats pm?

[drowsy dust]

You can do some stuff with their 60 cubes if you wanna try out HTB without spending money

[inner goblet]

Now I’m about to start all the way over

[grizzled void]

He's a content creator on YouTube

[inner goblet]

Does he have courses?

[near sapphire]

i did

[drowsy dust]

Professor messer is an instructor on YouTube for CompTIA certs. I recommend both A+, Network+ snd Security+

[near sapphire]

which reminds me I need to finish some of those course

[carmine tinsel]

Perhaps this is naive of me but if I was a parent, I’d be happy to fund my kid if it meant that they were pursuing useful skills. It’s better than a child who just wants money for vbux

[celest dirge]

Probably not the place to ask, but, does anyone know common places malware hides in, I'm checking it for possible infection, and I can't seem to find any clues on what's going on.

[celest dirge]

My laptop i mean

[drowsy dust]

Same tbh. Knowledge is everything. Generational knowledge too is important as well

Knowledge

[near sapphire]

each ppl have diff economic condition, btw i've never spent a single dime in any games

[carmine tinsel]

Yeah I get that, the reason why I said this is because I know that some people are just too shy to ask even if they can afford it

I’m a micro transactions hater too

[inner goblet]

Is there a game where you can bypass passwords?

Like getting a password list and stuff

[grizzled void]

there are THM rooms

those are gamified

[carmine tinsel]

Pretty sure the burp suite rooms cover password brute forcing

[rapid merlin]

I wanna become a hecker

Do i have what it takes

[carmine tinsel]

SQL injection rooms can help you acquire passwords too or bypass authentication, but those kicked my ass. I recommend doing the SQL basics room first if you wanna go down that route

[rapid merlin]

What is an sql

Can you explain it simply

[rapid merlin]

Too much to explain

[grizzled void]

sql is a database query lanuage

[rapid merlin]

Try doing the basics and learning the beginner stuff

[grizzled void]

you use it to query for information from sql databases

[carmine tinsel]

It’s a language used to search databases, I admit I’m very new to it though

[rapid merlin]

No i dont want to

It will take years and alot of dedication to become a real hacker

Ok then stop asking questions

[rapid merlin]

No it eont

What makes you say that

You have no basis for saying that

How so?

Theres nothing that takes that long to learn

I have 25+ years of experience.

Okay....

[inner goblet]

I got a list from a top level source in here on things I should learn in order

[rapid merlin]

Is that why doctors goes to school for 7+ years?

[rapid merlin]

When you say 25+ years were you working every single day of those 25 years

[inner goblet]

Oop

[rapid merlin]

And every hour of those days you did work

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-bateman-sigma-sigma-patrick-bateman-american-psycho-i-dont-have-a-gif-for-this-gif-1885171871624852210

[rapid merlin]

Yes. Besides the 9 years I spent in the military.

[inner goblet]

Now don’t come after my friend. He didn’t do anything.

[rapid merlin]

And were you at maximum focus at every hour?

Instead of yapping, go learn.

The answer to all that is no

TROLL ALERT

The real amoujt of time spent learning in those 25 years would be like 250 hours at max

I could do that in like 2 months

So stop pushing your propaganda on others

[rugged kayak]

his expression is valid tho

[rapid merlin]

Propagranda?

Bro you dont evne know what SQL is.

[grizzled void]

lev why don't you just prove it and become a top hacker in 250 hours then come back and report on your progress and show us that it can be done

[rapid merlin]

Look at your pfp and username

[carmine tinsel]

how about i take a proper gander at your qualifications

[carmine tinsel]

How shoyld i get started then?

[drowsy dust]

I invested in limiteds at the time that turned into a ton of money

[rugged kayak]

250 hours

[rapid merlin]

Actually

Thought you was a master already?

[rugged kayak]

each day 3 hours

[rapid merlin]

Lets Start off basic

[rugged kayak]

thats little less than 3 months

[rapid merlin]

What is hacking?

[rugged kayak]

in 3 months you can learn fuck all

and become decent

[rapid merlin]

Is it more closely related to programmijg or like using tools or something

[solar knoll]

good q

[rapid merlin]

3 months might get you to understand linux machines properly and networking... youre not hacking anything yet.

[inner goblet]

I’m leading the beginners I wanted to pair with someone so we could learn at the same time. This my 3rd day out here fr. 😂

[grizzled void]

I will not assist you in learning or give you where you should start. That should be part of your learning experience. I will expect to hear from you on 23 Feb 2025 07:24:47 CST with evidence that you are a top hacker

[carmine tinsel]

This server isn't your personal search engine

[rapid merlin]

Hey ask in RoomHelp and they’re helpful there. Less back & fourth nonsense like here tbh.

[carmine tinsel]

Learning how to use google is a skill that will greatly aid you in your hacking journey

[grizzled void]

Your challenge has already began, good luck and god speed

[rapid merlin]

imagine if he really did it

ill get him a job.

[rapid merlin]

"Whoaa im too good to help someone else learn something in a server dedicated to the thing in question im so cool"

[polar pivot]

Don't say the J word

[inner goblet]

True. I’m just a bit cocky when it comes to learning something I really wanna know. Don’t mind me

[rapid merlin]

Damn right hes too good, only the polite people deserves a sherpa like him

guys chill, he said he would learn to become a top hacker in 250 hours. Let him do his thing and he will provide us proof that it can be done. @rapid merlin you probably want to start learning, you are wasting time.

[rapid merlin]

Ok so start teaching me.m

can we please just ignore him?

First thingd first.. What is hacking?

hes not here to learn, or anything.. hes just trolling

[drowsy dust]

[fossil merlin]

What the fuck bro

[rapid merlin]

How do you do it? Is it from a laptop or do you need specialized devices

in fact, trolling isnt even trolling anymore. its just blatant ignorance.

[boreal crane]

Ah nice. I powerwalked with a backpack, sang songs while running with my friends. Shit in holes. Stuff like that

@rapid merlin i told you I wasn't going to assist you in learning as this is part of your learning experience. I have my own learning and career that I need to focus on. If you cannot find out where to start, I feel as though you won't be able to complete it in 250 hours as you stated you could.

[drowsy dust]

Trolling back in the day was crazy. I miss it tbh

Xbox energy

[fossil merlin]

Real. ❤️🥵

[rapid merlin]

youre asking to people to help you learn while refusing to go to THM to learn.... thats pure ignorance

[rapid merlin]

oh man, those were the days. when people actually got clever with trolls.

[boreal crane]

Is this a good place to ask if Kali is better than Parrot? I have a friend who said he passed the OSCP because of Kali. But I like Parrot so I can be different. Plus I think the tools are more powerful

[fossil merlin]

I think we just got more mature and forgot all the cringe shit we did.

Teenagers are all the same

[drowsy dust]

True

[grizzled void]

oh my kali has a maze background that's interesting

[rapid merlin]

Not a rral learning method, how did people learn before the existencr of these sites?

[cloud quiver]

You can't go wrong with either of those . Both're just Linux distros with pre-installed security tools 🙂

[boreal crane]

I want to install Kali but my mom said it’s illegal

[fossil merlin]

Xbox days were a few creative bits and then a million people screaming slurs in an open lobby as if it were the height of comedy. 😭

[rapid merlin]

How do you know its not a real learning method? You havent even tried.

smishing - phishing over sms

What 🙂 ?

[drowsy dust]

They don’t

[rapid merlin]

I cant

[mossy river]

That message is problematic on its own; it creates an unfriendly culture:)

there are people who will take that as the general consensus for the rest of the community and dismiss other users

Even if they’re being rude doesn’t excuse dismissive or harmful comments that leave a negative impact 😄

[grizzled void]

phishing is social engineering via email, spear phishing is targeted phishing, and smishing is phishing via sms, vishing is phishing over the phone

[fossil merlin]

Yup, it's why I strive to be less judgemental of people just finding joy in harmless stupid shit

you also have whale phishing which is basically spear phishing but it targets high-profile targets such as execs and rich people

spear phishing would be more like you are targeting anyone at a certain company or certain department of a company, whale phishing would be the ceo cto etc

Whats more terrifying.. lost in space or lost under the sea?

[rapid merlin]

What is hacking? Is it usually done from a laptop? Is it more related to like programming or what

[fossil merlin]

Yeah.

I look at the stuff I found funny in highschool and cringe even harder.

[rapid merlin]

Id say the sea because we know theres creatures down there sure.

[rapid merlin]

Theres nothing in the sea

[inner goblet]

Yea @mossy river he was trying to do unethical things and even asking about my face. Idk why

[drowsy dust]

The sea would be for me

absolutely, ive seen some CRAZY looking deep sea creatures lately

[cloud quiver]

You can learn more about it here 🙂
https://tryhackme.com/path/outline/presecurity

[mossy river]

What do you mean by unethical?

[rapid merlin]

Thats because the pressure changes when they surface make them deformed

[fossil merlin]

Shit.

Sea probably. Thalassaphobia is real.

Space would also suck because it would be slow but at the same time I could actually see it irl which is a legitimate life goal of mine.

[drowsy dust]

Hacking can be done on anything really. You can hack yourself

[rapid merlin]

Well duh. Not what I was saying. talking about the ones thats been filmed undersea.

[rapid merlin]

You didnt answer the question

[fossil merlin]

Like if I could see space in the flesh I'd die happy.

[drowsy dust]

I didn’t? What did I miss?

[inner goblet]

I believe it was him asking about hacking something specific. I remember saying something along the lines of we don’t do that here. Idk if that was a few minutes ago or a few hours ago with the troll.

[rapid merlin]

Theres nothing thrre

[fossil merlin]

Hey, can I ask you a question?

[mossy river]

If you have nothing nice to say, please refrain from saying it.

[drowsy dust]

What is that?

[fossil merlin]

That's a broad question, hacking culture came from diy/punk/phone phreaking back in the beginning of worldwide comms. It was about modifying tech to your own desires and ends.

If you're asking about computer hacking it is considered by masses to be accessing data through any computer network that's not meant to be easily accessible.

You can do it on any computer.

[fossil merlin]

[quasi hedge]

Has any moderator or staff member been informed about it?

[rapid merlin]

So theoretically if you wanted to get into a specific server remotely how woupd uou go about that?

[drowsy dust]

Ooooooo I’ll look more into it. I normally stick with DEFCON and BSides

[fossil merlin]

Need to visit the red hot ranch for that burger soon or imma go nuts

[rapid merlin]

There are these things called "ports" right?

[near sapphire]

Yup they know

[mossy river]

Yes, it is part of my review on the Discord server :)

[rapid merlin]

Its pretty night and closekit. I learned more at one thotcon than I did at all 4 defcons.

[inner goblet]

If someone joins and ask how to hack something is that ethical? I’m new so i associate the word “hacker” as a bad thing. THM said it’s not but pop culture made it a negative thing. It depends on the things you do. And I’m guessing the things you can do as a “hacker” varies if it’s good or bad. If that makes sense.

[drowsy dust]

😳 Good to know I’ll take your word on that

[rapid merlin]

😄

[fossil merlin]

I mean yeah but ports are basically a way to tell a network where to send what in simple terms.

This is as simple as I can make it.

[carmine tinsel]

thotcon sounds like something very different than what you’re describing

[drowsy dust]

lol

[fossil merlin]

A boy can dream 😳

[mossy river]

Not necessarily unethical, no. But feel free to ping our community moderators, they’re trained to know the difference and respond accordingly

There’s no harm in letting them know, even if a moderator confirms that they haven’t broken a server rule

[rapid merlin]

This means nothing

[fossil merlin]

Do you like, want a step by step instructional?

[inner goblet]

Ok i understand now. I’m getting used to what’s good and what’s bad

[rapid merlin]

Why feel the need to use innacurate analogies? Just say exactly whats going on

This dude communicates in a super unnatural way right? Or am I just confused.

[fossil merlin]

What's inaccurate?

[rapid merlin]

Your analogy

[rapid merlin]

Stop feeding him bro.

[mossy river]

Their explanation was perfectly accurate:)

[drowsy dust]

You should start some rooms on THM with your interests in mind. You will learn a lot there and won’t have to learn from here in chat. It’s not that effective to learn here in chat

[fossil merlin]

Yeah you're right. 😭

I think you’re slightly misinformed here. While hostile and dismissive, I don’t think they’re directly trolling

I’ve been here for almost 5/6 years, it’s quite obvious

[drowsy dust]

You can learn from them online and their life’s story. I would recommend Kevin mitnick

[rapid merlin]

Im not

[rapid merlin]

Your troll awareness is pretty bad my guy, no offense.

[inner goblet]

Thanks🙂 I was just happy to use gifs. That’s how I communicate

[rapid merlin]

To be fair, all of these people have been insanely helpful to me and the questions I’ve had. 🤙🏻

I already said before, this is a phenomena where tremendous wit and intelligence appears as stupidity and ignorance

[fossil merlin]

The "first hackers" literally patched into phone lines.

Assuming the right way to learn hacking is the same with changing tech is kinda silly.

Nonono wait wait wait

Not the cookies and water

That's the wrong liquid to eat cookies with

[sturdy pike]

Reverse engineering?

[fossil merlin]

Like any tech it evolved slowly and over time.

We wouldn't recognize it as hacking currently, so it's entirely subjective

Genuine question here; have the people who been active here awhile seen a recent uptick in people trying to learn cybersecurity since Ryan Montgomery has been active on Socials? I’m asking because I’ve seen a number of people mention his name and I’m new here.

[fossil merlin]

It's grown a lot since I've been here.

I'm also new here and I can say I haven't really heard of them

[drowsy dust]

I learned about THM because of Ryan yeah

[fossil merlin]

New faces come and go a lot

Most people are chill and good.

Lately there's been a rise in "interesting" approaches to discourse

I learned of thm through John Hammond, that was years ago

[rapid merlin]

With that said, do you guys think that it’s a good thing or bad thing that it seems to be reaching a much broader audience?

Hmmm, I'll take a look at some point, sounds interesting

It's just a thing.

It's happened before social media even, books like "the anarchists cookbook" or even scifi like "neuromancer" got people into hacking

If Sloboda rejoins, I would appreciate it if they could drop me a DM

I’d like to discuss and use their feedback to improve the community Discord server

1; There's a massive disconnect that exists between the "desired server vision," being a 'Professional InfoSec Community and Training Platform,' and what actually exists here and now.

^ I understand the reason why and why it's difficult for Jabba and the moderator team on an HR/PR level to address what is a growing issue that naturally comes with expansion, but it nonetheless effects the community at large and makes people feel unheard and ostracized.

2; Recently, moderator discretion with decision making has become increasingly inconsistent and coverage is essentially nonexistent for half of the day. The community is regularly leashed and berated for responding to what it can identify as a problem in lieu of moderator coverage and blamed for its lack of it.

These are the top two problems I see and hear from people that've been here for a while that've been growing increasingly unhappy the last month and a half or so.

Settlement is you giving me reps for the next 45 days, take it or leave it, one time offer, or I'll see you in court tomorrow.

[sturdy pike]

The anonymous hacker group is a group comprised of anonymous people. There.

[rapid merlin]

people still follow the anon-cringe hype?

[crystal lynx]

Anonymous is a decentralized group of hackers and activists who carry out cyberattacks on governments, corporations, and other institutions. They are known for their high-profile actions. It was initially created as a rebel against the government. It believed in availability of information, they wanted to bring up the government's true face and expose it.

[rapid merlin]

Oh god not another bot

[grizzled void]

if you copied this from any AI you must cite the AI used

[rapid merlin]

Anon isnt a group of hackers. Anon is a proxy corporation that hires hackers to do their dirty work that involves hacking and/or propaganda.

[crystal lynx]

You are absolutely correct

Who would make efforts to type that much

[rapid merlin]

Who would make effort to run a bot all day for absolutely nothing useful?

Ironic.

[grizzled void]

im telling you since you shared something from an AI source you need to site the AI when you share the information in this discord

them the rules

[rapid merlin]

When I see someone with an anon mask/picture, I automatically assume they never hacked or programmed a day in their lives.

[mellow gull]

Plenty of people make the effort to type that much.

It was one paragraph, dawg

[crystal lynx]

How do you know that am an ai or not? Is it really necessary to mention ?

[rapid merlin]

Time to play some chess and chill.

[rapid merlin]

Because it's obvious by the way your grammar switch from good to horrible.

[crystal lynx]

Well you are wrong. I didn't use chatGPT I used Google bard

[rapid merlin]

he said AI

[grizzled void]

It says ChatGPT and AI

[mellow gull]

AI of any variety, please read.

Thanks for telling us it was Google Bard though.

[rapid merlin]

Do you have any Gray Poupon?

[mellow gull]

How many Rs are in the word Strawberry

[crystal lynx]

I just didn't want to waste time writing a huge paragraph, that all. Why are you guys bullying me?

[grizzled void]

I like the apocalypses scenario the most

[grizzled void]

I am not bullying, I am simply stating the rules that you must declare when you use ai for a message you sent

[mellow gull]

You randomly decided to shill about Anonymous in reference to a video about hacking in general

[crystal lynx]

I have 7 years of experience in hacking and cyber security. So i know the things better so i just wanted to share some useful knowledge with you all

[rapid merlin]

Thanks I guess lol

[grizzled void]

It is bold of you to assume everyone here has less experience than you

[mellow gull]

Oh, I praise your expertise. I didn't know we had a master with us.

What knowledge did you want to pass down to us?

[rapid merlin]

Share some knowledge

[crystal lynx]

The things that video was telling about anonymous hacker group. One of the hacker group that kept me most intrigued in my childhood days

[rapid merlin]

I've been banging on keyboards since I got my first own pc in 1995.

[mellow gull]

But Luigi was the one that shared that video?

Did you somehow transmit the knowledge directly into his brain to have him share it? You must be really skilled.

[rapid merlin]

You obviously didn't watch the video.

[crystal lynx]

I did watch the first 5 minutes

[mellow gull]

Mmmn, you can control time, too?

[grizzled void]

5 minutes out of 65

[mellow gull]

Cause you responded after two and a half minutes.

[rapid merlin]

Whats with all the trolls today?

Such a weird day for this server.

[fringe nacelle]

Ngl Anonymous was cool when I was a kid. Nowadays they're a lil cringe

[mellow gull]

I mean it's easy to troll when the admin of the server glazes you and keeps telling everyone you're definitely not trolling

[rapid merlin]

I've noticed that, they will defend the trolls and tell everyone else to stop.

[cedar warren]

Is it possible to get back my streaks somehow fast?

[rapid merlin]

Go on another streak

[cedar warren]

Alright.

[mellow gull]

In my five years of experience this dude going off about a primal meat diet and his high test giving him genius level intellect that makes his wisdom sound like nonsense to everyone else definitely not trolling.

[rapid merlin]

If you aint eating raw liver then youll never become uber1337haxxor.

[grizzled void]

if you just missed a day you can typically email support and ask for it back, they might require you to explain why you missed it, not sure

[rapid merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/liver-king-gif-4897340729346032244

[cedar warren]

I'll try this.

[elder pike]

Unfortunately, it's not like Duolingo, where one can happen upon a Streak Freeze every once in a while.

[rapid merlin]

Good luck!

[mellow gull]

We do have streak freezes though.

[rapid merlin]

I just got a streak freeze like 5 mins ago

[leaden flicker]

Hey guys, does anyone know how to exclude a specific code pattern from semgrep scan with 'p/default' config? What I have tried so far is, adding # nosemgrep at the end of code but still it reports the finding.

[elder pike]

OH, I didn't know! Of course, I've only been at this for 8 days.

[rapid merlin]

You get it after 7 day streak

[mellow gull]

And again at higher streak levels, albeit way more than every seven days.

Though sometimes when you use one you use all of them for some reason.

[rapid merlin]

maybe they dont truly stack?

[grizzled void]

this is my baby streak going rn, my highest streak so far

[crystal lynx]

I use arch BTW

[grizzled void]

wish i had KGB's streak

[mellow gull]

Good for you.

[rapid merlin]

Heck yeah brotha'. Keep it going.

[rancid sky]

Hey everyone,

I’m working on a new version of my Security Maintenance script, but I’m stuck due to multiple errors. I’ve tried troubleshooting, but I need some help from the open-source community to fix it.

I’ve documented everything in detail on my GitHub repo:
🔗 https://github.com/Aditya-Nagariya/Kali_Linux_Security_and_Maintenance.git

If you have any insights or know someone who can help, I’d really appreciate your support. Feel free to check it out and share! Thanks in advance! 🚀

[mellow gull]

Arch users when they've gone more than five minutes without mentioning that they use Arch

https://tenor.com/view/doflamingo-zehef-gif-27144421

[grizzled void]

no self promotion

them the rules

[crystal lynx]

I use arch BTW

[carmine tinsel]

Honestly, I think all the trolls are just the same guy

[opaque flax]

No true anonymous member would be caught using anything other than arch

[mellow gull]

It's the official OS on the Anonymous Memo on the Anonymous Website

[crystal lynx]

Bruh am not a anonymous member

I am a LFS and ARCH Linux user

[rapid merlin]

nobody is truly an "anonymous member" tho

[opaque flax]

You’re looking for server and use arch?

Wow

[rapid merlin]

linux from scratch

[opaque flax]

Eeeehhhhh I dunno

[rapid merlin]

Gotta keep em guessing

[crystal lynx]

LFS = Linux From Scratch

[opaque flax]

Eeeeeehhhh I dunno

[elder pike]

I appreciated this.

[crystal lynx]

It's a guide of creating a linux os by yourself

[rapid merlin]

love how your username is basically how old folks says "pokemon"

[elder pike]

I HAVE been told "That's how my grandpa says Pokemon"

[rapid merlin]

Basically it is haha, its pretty funny

[mellow gull]

Could also be misspelled Pokiemane I guess

[grizzled void]

i honestly thought it was Pokiemane when I first seen it, figured they were just a fan

[crystal lynx]

Btw guys which OS do you use?

[rapid merlin]

MX Linux for main system

[mellow gull]

For what purpose?

[crystal lynx]

Hacking

[grizzled void]

kali

[rapid merlin]

Kali

[opaque flax]

Kali

[mellow gull]

What type of hacking? Kali, mostly.

[whole gazelle]

macos

[crystal lynx]

Network based attacks

[mellow gull]

Strangely specific, but Kali for that.

[rapid merlin]

lolo

[whole gazelle]

it's all about jut learning how things work and learning which tools to use tbh. you don't need kali as a whole when you gonna do just this one task

imo

[crystal lynx]

How do you guys even use kali? It's just the most boring os I have ever seen. I can't customise asci want it to be

That's what I hate

[opaque flax]

Because it works

[whole gazelle]

ppl like it cuz it's redy out of the box to do pentesting

[opaque flax]

I have the tools I need on it

[rain river]

Whts kali? I’m new to all of this stuff

[mellow gull]

If you want to be complicated get Black Arch, smh

[opaque flax]

A pentesting OS based on Debian Linux

[whole gazelle]

if you don't like it, then there is nothing holding you back from making your own distro with customization and tools you need

[opaque flax]

Athena OS

[mellow gull]

I prefer Athena, yeah

[rain river]

Oh ok thanksss

[opaque flax]

I loaded the “red team” profile

That was a mistake

It’s dog slow and out so many packages on the system

[whole gazelle]

good to know that's not worth it

[opaque flax]

I gotta uninstall the packages and try a profile that doesn’t have as many

[grizzled void]

sounds like you just need more resources

[chilly veldt]

[whole gazelle]

mornin!!!

[opaque flax]

It has 16Gb of ram and 8 cores

[rapid merlin]

you can customize kali any way you want, they even have blank versions to install whatever you want.

also great for VMs because its already prepackaged and can set up a fresh VM super fast.

[grizzled void]

though it doesn't need it, i give my kali vm about half my ram, so 32GB

[rapid merlin]

Yeah I have 16gb of ram and can run 2-3 vm easily.

[opaque flax]

I keep the VMware image zipped and ready to deploy a fresh one that I downloaded from the website for this reason

[opaque flax]

Yeah I gave it half my ram

[rapid merlin]

^^^ this guy gets it

If you arent working with VMs then you arent going far in this industry

[sinful bobcat]

THM people, good morning

[opaque flax]

[crystal lynx]

I use arch BTW

[rapid merlin]

Why do you think Arch is so superior?

[opaque flax]

Yes you’re the embodiment of the meme

[crystal lynx]

Because I use arch BTW

[grizzled void]

Zeek or Snort simply as I have experience with both them. I prefer Snort over Zeek due to more experience

[rapid merlin]

Im conviced he doesnt even run linux, hes just trying to sound smart.

[wintry flower]

hello there

[crystal lynx]

anonymous os, an os which randomize which os it uses everytime you start

Deepseek does this funny thing where it will actually try to elaborate on a topic, but the program responsible for identifying forbidden terms/topics only picks up on it at the moment a keyword is written in its answer, and then it'll delete itself.

humans*

[rapid merlin]

While humans are not multi-dimensional in the literal sense of existing in higher physical dimensions (as far as we know), the term is often used to describe the complexity and depth of human existence—whether in terms of consciousness, identity, or spiritual beliefs. The idea of multi-dimensionality is more commonly a metaphorical or philosophical concept rather than a scientific one.```
