.... It is though?
It's the very defiition of a leaderboard. 
A leaderboard is always the ones who does better, if that's more points or faster, then it's still the definition of a leaderboard
nobody can do better than anyone else at the room,
Take a look just now, 6-9 can become 6th if they answer first.
You might not think it's exciting.
The fact even now, I can start the room and still become 6th.
its not a leaderboard if i cant go on there and take #1 spot.
That's partly what I'm getting at, I need to sleep as I work full time and rooms are released when I am sleeping. I think a better time statistic would be how long the person took in the room and not if they were one for the first 9 to complete. In theory I could complete a room as fast or faster than some however since I am sleeping I can't participate in the challenge. Now if it was based on amount of time spent in the room and not when you completed it, I think it would improve the leaderboard by giving more people of varying schedules and timezones a chance of being top 9
THM is GMT.
No, but your point about the room leaderboard about not being number one.
you won't be number one in the world ranking either.
So is that not also pointless?
You can actually gain points and go up the real leaderboard.
might not get first but it has a real ppint system that makes sense.
I know and I am EST with a night shift schedule so I am not awake when rooms are released
That's outside THM's control.
It really isnt but yeah
The room release will always unfavour somebody.
Take a look at AOC, one of my team mates had to get up at silly o'clock to race for bloods.
getting a reward for being first is cool.
So you can't please everybody.
It's just up to the person if they want to stop doing x for blood points.

add a stat on peoples profile if they get bloods.
I understand that, that's why I suggest what I thought would be a better solution to accommodate more players instead of being one for the first 9 to complete in the first hour. I can start it at anytime and if I can complete the room in less time then say the number 6 person, I should be number 6. I also feel like it would help with finding people who are cheating by just entering answers found in write-ups
You can. You just have to put the work in to being there at the right time, and solve it first.
Im talking about rooms that exist already
The writeups don't get immediately published?
Then finish it before they're on the internet. ๐
How are you going to measure time actively spent? Machine deploy time?
You say that...
How would you do "better" than those who have completed it previously?
What metric would justify you scoring more points than them?
Remember Jellyfish?
In some cases, the writeups pre-date the room release on THM.
im willing to bet $100 that they leak answers to eachother before they even release the rooms to steal blood
exactly
time spent from joining the room until the last question is answered
But that's not leakage.
You need to remove that tinfoil hat
he just admitted it ^
That's a CTF being found on platform X now it's on platform Y.
Why you so offended by my opinion?
Fair enough. I imagine they've gotta have those metrics... surely
I said the room lbs are dumb and now you cant stop
I'm not, I think it's very naive.
i dont think you know what naive means
So how was everyones day yesterday?
That's... Ironic.
Shit
What was so important about yesterday?
That's not good, why?
And why not today?
Why is it naรฏve?
bc yesterday was a holiday
Cause some people aren't in "today"
durp
Some fun stuff happening at work
Ah, that's always fun
Actually, TBF, pay rises and bonuses came through, so that makes up for it lmao
Their loss.
when student discounts coming for month membs?
Never.
good morning everyone ๐ช
That's nice at least, I wasn't legally allowed to work yesterday
I worked 64 hours in 4 days
Ooooooof. You have gotta stop doing that smh
Oh my
I know they do, if you look at the api for the leaderboard you can see what time questions where answered, I'm not positive if they have one for when people join but they literally would just need to calculate the difference between the two times. So player 6 completed it in 30 minutes within the first hour. This allows me to wake up and get on THM at my normal time (let's say 5 hours later) and complete the room. If I complete it in 29 minutes 52 seconds, that should make me player 6 assuming no one else gotten a better time before me.
Eh, it happens
@rapid merlin Not approriate.
I know, youre offended by everything
I'm not, it's other members I'm thinking about.
nobody cares but you
literally would just need to calculate the difference between the two times
Giving these software devs a lot of credit there 
sorta rude imo
Nah.
I don't agree with this with your earlier point.
Who's to say you didn't read a writeup to solve the room before user x
They've spent x hours doing the room, for you to solve it in 26 min(s) with a writeup.
I mean, by that metric who's to say the person who blooded it didn't use a writeup as well though, if there are write-ups released before the room sometime
huh what happened to luigi
They left.
In theory the idea is sound -- it just increases the period you need to monitor for writeups from an hour to a day.
Can't police the internet though.
That said, in practice I know first hand how crappy people can be.
You can ask that a the member who submitted the room to hide their writeups already written.
I mean, how many accounts belonging to that twat who leaked Jellyfish did I get banned from Github/ Gitlab?
Ultimately didn't do very much.
I have no idea, honestly, I wasn't as active.
actually i used to find a writeup for last years aoc sq that has the flag but it was recently redacted. Did staff warn that person or did they change it themselved
At least 6 before he started hosting the site himself 
"Can't police the internet".
so they decide to remove the flags themselves. good then for them
I mean, in this server all really we can do is removal for breaking rules, that doesn't mean they would change the writeup.
That's an understandable concern and that's something I also agree is an issue with my suggestion. But how the leaderboards currently are, they don't really have a real incentive to motivate people unless they are working on the room within the first few hours of release.
That depends on how many people have solved the room.
Obviously the number will fluctuate from time to time.
The issue is that a good autogen is hard to build, and takes a lot of time to get right. It's more than just the code, you also need to make sure that you're not making one instance harder than another.
It's also poorer for learning because you can't use writeups to see the path forward if you get really stuck on something challenging.
They're good for competitions at that level of generation, but not much else.
Now, dynamic flags on the other hand...
A bit extreme for some THM rooms.
dynamic flags seems to be a good idea
but i think i remember someone saying it would be too hard to change all the past rooms
I'll do it on the off chance I'm ever dumb enough to put another competition box out.
Don't have the stomach for it after last time.
I built an implementation for it after said last completion:
https://flag.muir.land
Submit Dynamic Flags
Was that website that was attacked from members in here?
Or was that your blog?
That's the target of the leaderboards though
members attacked muiri's website?
I can also think of a couple of ways it could easily be integrated with THM, but they've never managed that to date.
Would definitely also need to support the legacy method for older rooms.
I mean, if someone attacked it then they did an abysmal job 
I seem to remember something of yours being targeted.
which ctf/box is this for
or is it just a poc
to only motivate people who work on them the first few hours they are released?
Probably ๐คทโโ๏ธ
The core of it is though, THM is not a CTF competition platform.
It's a gamified learning platform
The competition people feel is a side effect of gamification
People forget that.
most game leaderboards don't only show who the first 9 people who completed first
See: duolingo
Game != gamified
i mean aoc sq is competition right? or did i get the memo wrong
That was, yes.
Videogames are a different thing
I built it for competitions after the last comp box I released was leaked by some douche within about a day and a half of release.
It's only been used once on THM as a PoC. Mainly because I stopped releasing content on THM lmao
@sick lance mind removing my unnecessary warning?
which room is it
Nope. ๐
We can make it a ban if you'd like. No tolerance for stalking our members at all.
why do you need to remove your warning
Ironically I haven't had the stomach to do any other full-on competition stuff since then. That was a big one -- OSCP voucher prize.
Can't have nice things around humans ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Neither does Discord.
i was warning him..? i wasnโt doxxing him i was telling him how to become more secure
If it's cheatable people will find a way to cheat. Especially in anything Tech-Adjacent.
That's why we have jobs though, not being able to have nice things around humans
not yet I don't
Stop making me jealous.
so this room has dynamic flags then i'll try it out when i have the time
Graduate
10 weeks, man, 10 weeks.
Not my fault you've opted for a loooooooooong degree
That is true.
fair
Depends where you are, and what degree
Mine was three years
My BsC is 3 years, or 4 years with hons.
It's a walkthrough, fair warning.
I used it as a PoC.
TL;DR: it just switches the burden of proof away from THM and into my site. Means I get a lot more metrics about the box and user than THM record.
I did study 3 years of college prior.
It is for Scotland
England like 3 for some reason.
bcuz their highschool is longer
Four years is relatively standard in the states as well, though sometimes you can accelerate.
at least compared to my country's
No?
Don't think so.
We leave at 17-18 as well
I graduated at 21
I really regret staying on for my fourth year.
The hons isn't worth the shit I've had to put up with.
I dunno, think of the job offers you'll get with the honours... Might even get to 36k ๐
huh i could've sworn there is a country which highschool is 4 years instead of 3
... Our high school is 6 years
Heard in some countries high schoolers graduate at 16
Although the English have middle school iirc?
We don't teeeend to use that word
grades 6-12?
Max 6
Minimum 4.
Primary, secondary, college, uni
We don't use grades like that
6th form?
That's college
so what do you use
Secondary school for Scotland, you're free to leave when you're 16, which is normally end of 4th year.
Years 5/6 are optional.
For Scotland:
Age 5-ish, you start Primary school. You stay there until you're 11-12 then start secondary school. Minimum of 4 years there -- you can leave at age 16 with low level qualifications, or you can stay for another 1-2 years
An undergrad degree is then another 4 years with honours in Scotland
in my country its primary secondary highschool then uni
An integrated masters is usually 5 or 6
...it can be 4 here
Yes, but your education system sucks 
Oh, that explains why I keep getting job applicants on 4 year master degrees though. Huh
and 16 y/o are allowed to apply for uni?
or is it college
i dont quite get the diff between uni and college
I mean, they can try to apply for uni, but they're very unlikely to get in without Highers
In the UK, they're completely different
In the US, they're the same "stage" of education
im used to the us definition
College is more likely. They could do Highers at college, or a HND/HNC (basically equivalent level course), then use that as a stepping stone into uni
That's quite a common path.
for uk, when do you take the a-levels
i took them at year 11,12 which is considered highschool here
Don't say year, that doesn't line up - say ages
so 17-18, 17 was as levels 18 a levels
Yep
is a cyber security degree better for cyver security nessecarily?
Not quite, you have to be in some form of education 16-18 but it doesn't have to be A levels
the other options are?
Apprenticeships etc
ah i see
Physics, compsci, maths, further maths
Only did FM for the first year though
Well, partly, I did do it the second year but didn't end up taking the exam
England.
Scotland uses Nationals, Highers, and Advanced Highers
GCSE is functionally equivalent to National 5. A level is somewhere in between Higher and Advanced Higher.
Why is there no embed
I used < >
Hey Mods
I had a question
why isn't KGB a community mentor yet? Or a community legend?
That's not down to the mods
Community legend is reserved for ex staff/mods.
Who if not the mods? They deserve it
The lead mentor
so we have to ask jabba?
It's vote based
YEAH!
No?
idk
Mentors vote for a new mentor?
Yes.
I get it, but have they considered him for a mentor?
I wouldn't know?
I can't tell you who has been up for contention.
We don't release who's been nominated/voted.
And I don't even know who voted for me.
so u just randomly got congratz ur now a mentor
Not the strangest system I've seen.
No, you get asked obviously.
So you inform the person voted i assume? Or just directly make them a mentor because that'd be funny if I wake up one day and I'm mentor lol
Oh
No, I got a DM asking if I'd like to be a mentor as I'm voted in.
Like I did with mod.
Oh, thats great then!
are discord admins reserved for staffs
The Discord admin is typically a THM emplyed person, so yes.
Jabba is the TryHackMe Community Manager.
Well, I'd just like to say it that KGB deserves to be mentor and many would agree.
I think most people would agree to that. The man is a machine with a borderline-photographic memory.
Yeah KGB has been helping people almost 24/7
Do mods get free thm subscription
yup
Yeah.
oooh new color huma?
YEAH! now im one of the green people ๐ฝ
I don't think he has been around that long
congratz !!
thanks!
Gave +1 Rep to @near sapphire (current: #264 - 26)
You're a legend now
Congratulations
He knows how to hack the reps
Rather hack the people to give him reps
The trick is to be nice and sincere
Yes sure
How long he has been helping
Yes.
kgb is close to first in the rep leaderboard
From rep farming, sure.
He's gonna surpass Scrubz soon.
There's more to it than that...
I wasn't even number one when I was asked to be a mentor.
Spooky command popped up
i tried viewing his rep
You helped people and thats enough, don't worry
I'm not worried. ๐
scrubz is the last person to be worried abt rep lol
are there rooms that are correlated to topics in the completely beginner path ? for example additional rooms for network services etc
@sick lance is legend
and hes like #13 on global leaderboard
speaking of thm roles do senior mods vote on which mod to become senior?
Rep isn't something really worth being worried about in general.
Yes afaik
There are certain rooms that are included in โmodulesโ or what I call โmini pathsโ like Metasploit module for example.
Now that one I don't know.
wow something scrubz doesnt know
Finally he lost heheh
There's no established process because there's only like 2 of us
so how did u bcome one if thats okay to share
I can't know something that doesn't exist.
All this means is Scrubz needs to obtain eldritch knowledge.
There was... an incident and mod powers were split
purge ?
I couldn't possibly comment
so it means there are no plans on adding more senior mods?
I bet it was someone deleting a major channel or something like that, that's a common one.
like legends of zelda triforce or smth
deleting general 
is that even possible
I've been witness to it in other communities. 
You can't delete the "original" general chat when you start a server.
separation of duties is a good thing 
But that doesn't mean the general chat you're looking at is that one.
Oh it was recycled at one point
do you guys hv the archive of the first message on this server
The last General was deleted almost 5 years ago.
drop some more juicy thm dc lore
There ain't much
was the discord created the day thm was founded or is it after it got more users
Discord was created after THM, and I think before an AoC.
I chose them
Yeah, long before the first AoC. Long before the first hackback as well, iirc. Definitely before the second.
hackback?
Event THM put on for uni students in the very early days.
maybe when skidy joined the server?
Actually the event that got me into THM
I remember the slack
Same
Do you remember everything instantly following over at the start of HB2? 
2018 is when thm was founded right
Yes, I was in the room with Skidy
Possibly this date.
Poor guy
We had him on the phone iirc
AWS came for his kidneys
average AWS experience
The good old days
I would have loved to have met Elf.
But yeah, originally there were 4 senior mods.
James,
0day,
Varg... Who tf was the last one?
Fawaz?
Oh, possibly Fawaz, yeah
Hey Muiri ๐
I think Fawaz left before he became a senior mod
Nah, I think Scrubz is right on that one
maybe not, I wasn't very active last year and the year before that
Jovnn
ye
geez some of u guys hv been in the server for a long time
I was here since 2020
AoC 2019 tyvm
I had an earlier account.
New account joined a little later
that one has all my warnings and bans /s
how did u guys found out abt thm
John Hammond.
Uni
do warnings actually like affect anything
Potentially it was elf
/j
I got banned from TCM and joined here 
I still remember AoC 2019. Poor Skidy and Ashu frantically trying to create a challenge during the day to release in the evening.
Well that message got sent late
Yes, it may make you ineligible for mod/mentor
Too many and you need to question yourself.
Yes. The chance of you getting banned next time you're a pest
My IT teacher after a little... incident
Glad he showed me it
Each warning increases the risk just a little bit
define incident
probably not the best place here
I don't remember how i found THM
DM or the other place?
Probably youtube video
sure if you want
well better make sure i dont get another warning then
Aye, I'm a curious cat 
I'm sure you can guess. Most of us had an "incident" which got us into ethical hacking.
THM didn't exist when I was a teenager though.
yeah, I do, I just wanted to know lol
I can confidently say I've been nothing but a good cat. I'm just autistic.
I was usually the cuase of the incident.
Yeaaaaaaaap
I don't have a very light background
did u live ur life on dark mode?
I remember a chat room I used to use, and if you sent a nullbyte, any user who was using the Internet Explorer crashed.
Indeed you don't. It's literally a black image.
It had to be done with URL though. as a sort of "injection".
Jesus Christ you're old
And experienced.
I've done all the bad stuff, so you don't have to.
That's debatable
/jk
Now i have become light, destroyer of dark mode
oooh scrubz was not ethical back in the day /j
Well that depends on how you look at it. 
I mean, that's how most people get into hacking.
FLASHBANG!
well thankfully not me
I can point at some very high profile hackers with a very bad past
I built a program in Visual Basic that would show you the ******* in a password field.
One of the famous is probably Geohurtz
I was meaning more in here, but fair
Oh in here.
so basiclly remove the *s?
Show the password in plaintext.
In the field.
I can guarantee that i was an annoying person lmao. No respect, no boundaries. But people grow up, and realize.
i used to have a bad temper
Your words.
Remember that. ๐
now nothing u can do will make me mad
/s
You know what would be funny, middle clicking on the image
Maybe i am still annoying. At least i have ethical and moral boundaries
Yeah no, I know what it does
what does that do
opens the image in your browser on full zoom
oh lol
this is indeed the correct date
Forgot I could use the server ID for looking it up
OH take it easy
the computer head guy?
Yes
gmt +7 for me
thats how i did it lmao
Aww nice
Well, doesn't help that very few of us sleep reasonable hours
Yea taking that into account makes it all the more confusing. Like i remember while i was in school i would just saty up for two days straight like nothing lol
gmt-3
I get 6 hours 4 days a week
i see ur a script kiddie
Lol
i am a noob
I did not know this aboyt youtube lol
Ayoo kin
That's a mindset.
i was referring to my rank on htb
We are all noobs that are kinda good at specific things lol
but by my own standards i am a noob in this field
well about htb, its seem like luigi is a little bit salty 
what happened lol
Hm?
i have a htb account but i don't use it since I'm studying for certs to accelerate my degree, work full time and have a family as well as working on THM. Though I want to dedicate more time to it since i want their CPTS cert
Oh, it's nothing. I just took a look at the HTB general now that we're talking about it
To be fair the last time Luigi left he posted a bunch of stuff on the reddit, so that's in character.
Ah, please leave whatever is happening there, in there. ๐
ok scrubz 
Appreciated. ๐
oh btw @gleaming grove may i dm u
yup
Have a good one, Scrubz.

i need some assistance if anyone had already setuped
thanks but why i dont put screen or picture
Gave +1 Rep to @sick lance (current: #1 - 3393)
Have you seen how much some of these tools and equipment actually cost? I don't think there's a single bit that doesn't cost at least a whole band
You need to verify your account
Absolutely yes.. but I've never seen blue team on that perspective, that's why it's a fair point, it's expensive af trying to stop red teamers
Forensically sound workstation? At least 4k, please. Write blocker? Another 1k, not including accessories. Forensic tools? Unless you wanna drop 500$ a year, 3k at least, each.

You were only in one discord at the time? That's neat.
Oh that's not mine.
Yeah I realized it right after saying it like the fool I am
Finally homeeeee
That's my current server list.
why is ppl randomly spamming compliments lol.
I think it was for the screenshot.

whats the blank one
Because TryHackMe is the best server ever for cybersecurity. ๐
What are you up to these days?
I have... significantly more.
I've gotta purge my server list at some point.

I was doing my PJPT and waiting for the result
I hope you pass!
Is this to help with the job search?
mines mostly school stuffs and ctfs theres more below but not gonna ss those
I recognise two.
bro in egirl servers xD
wait which one?
Not for job. How to say just to collect some certificate and improve after graduate. I am currently first year student
i would be alarmed if you dont recognize those two
Ah I see.
I'm saying beyond that point
oh
I'm not even in HTB
no lol
you should still recognize it though
HTB logo is easy to spot
quite literally a green box
its holding my veggies
Welcome in veggies
beyond those servers are my servers with friends

that is neat idea
It's going to changing soon.
Yeah they started their thing a few months ago, right?
We should be getting a new Top 10 this year.
Should be.
It doesn't regularly change much. You might see one or two new things and then stuff moving around.

Thm isnt really catered to network engineers i think
What about IT hekpdesk
CTFs make me depressed
Why?
Scrubz what's good to learn on tryhackme for IT helpdesk
No nothing, and that makes me depressed
Linux and windows basics
Is that it?
^
Do you have links?
And look into the comptia path
Gimme a sec, I will try to find them
Thank you
Gave +1 Rep to @dark mason (current: #486 - 12)
Cool thank you
Wait I do this in pre security anyway
Oh right
I do
Red, blue or purple?
I think im going to be a network engineer first off then go into cyber
Blue
Purple is when the red team work with the blue team during an engagment.
Oh right
I need to know what advice I should give, if they like both I will give for both
Blue
But
A bit of both would be good to know
In that case I'd say that THM does a great job, just follow the road path it provides and if you want to know a bit of red teaming you should look at OWASP top 10
Any links you can provide? Or recommend specific ones there's multiple paths I see
Good morning everyone
Guys if I'm looking to get my first certification, should I straight up go for CompTIA Network+?
I can think of one. It usually lasts 5 nights
If you have no experience in Networking and need help getting your foot in the door, then yes, it's a great certification to add to your resume. I recommend the Professer Messer course on YouTube.
Problem is, that these certification exams are pretty darn costly ๐ ๐
Think ima skip the A+
how good is THM free content and how far could i go with it
U need to pay tbh
U dont rlly get to far with the free stuff
alr
There's a TON of Free content on THM, but I would say the majority of the fun stuff is subscription blocked.
uhhh guys what do i do about this?
Should I start of with a cheaper exam or straight up go for the expensive one?
It's great you have more than 500 free rooms ๐
what good resources would u recommend to me? i need something like https://pwn.college which are very good at what they r teaching(bin exploitation)
stuff like hackthebox or ctf101 only cover either basics or only uses tools
HackTHehBox Academy and THM cover a whole lot more then just the basics.
Both are better in paid versions
For bin exploitation, maybe, but for network and web hacking both are great resources.
There's also the PortSwigger Labs for even more web hacking, also pretty good.
medium doesn't follow the URL RFC specification, so it thinks its invalid
not much you can do, apart from asking THM if they'd manually accept it
I have been summoned
mb then
Are there dropped wallets or sum?
but like im searching for a more advanced level
read above you goob
it does NOT work like that
if you delete @ it will still redirect
Done!

What would be a cool project idea for python? I'll learn it from the docs itself
i think using the hashlib library and making hashes is good project, i enjoyed making such
called it hashy.py
Elaborate? Thats what it seems we're currently doing in uni but not through python
i used this resource for inspiration, i went and added ASCII art too
